Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 10th May: from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch405

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud GO tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 405

Medicine Man

The street lies dark
and sergeant O'Neil
is on night patrol
both hands on the wheel
The drunks and the thieves
He knows them by name
and it weighs on his heart
to see what they became

Every night is the same
Nothing ever changes
but the season

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

Father Mulholland
looks at the crowd
Five lonely souls
all with heads bowed
His sermons once flowed
with drive and conviction
now all he can muster
is drab repetition

Every Sunday is the same
Nothing ever changes
but the season

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

The excitement of youth
The thrill of the stranger
The great unknown
The sweet edge of danger
They fade over time
To tired resignation
To stay was a choice
is their pale justification

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

Sally O’Brien
pulls one more beer
As it fills it reminds her
Of malt soaked tears
The drunks tell her stories
She's heard them all before
Their whole lives determined
By where they come from

Every Friday night is the same
Nothing ever changes
but the season

Big dreams
laid to rest
in dark places
Big dreams
trapped in
windowless spaces
Big dreams
Smiles gone
from the faces
of those
who stayed behind

Big Dreams

Que Sí - Mon Laferte

Ayer te quería hablar
De lo mal que me sentí
Cuando te vi pasar
Y no estabas junto a mí

Esto no es normal
Juntas íbamos "hasta el fin"
Y ahora ya no estás
La cagaste mil

Ya no te debería extrañar
De mi mente tienes que salir
O voy a explotar
Déjame dormir

Compré una bicicleta 
Para llegar
Más rápido a tu casa
Pero ya no la uso para nada

No estás

Souvenir (León Larregui)

León Larregui-Birdie

This is my pei pa koa drink
And all is for me
I have my all time here, and all is for you
Your lips tan cerca de mi
Y eso es para mi, honey
Every day, every time is for you
Every time, every day is for, every day is for you
Every time, every day is for you
Every night, pei pa koa for me, pei pa koa for
This is my pei pa koa drink, and all is for me
This is my best, best "ollie", and all is for you
Your lips tan cerca de mi y eso es para mi, honey
Every day, every time is for you
Every time, every day is for, every day is for you
Every time, every day is for you
Every night, pei pa koa for me, pei pa koa for us
