Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (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 2nd September 2024. 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/batch539

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves 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 (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Entire Inbox: Batch 539

A slightly melancholic, lighters-in-the-air meditation on friendship and loss.

Waxwings

Preternature

Awakening

Don't worry, now, really don't
But I think that the Sun might be dying
The day was always coming, but 
I thought we had a bit more time
Do you see what I'm seeing? 
There's just not enough coming through
Not enough of those sweet Tau Neutrinos
The question right now is really "what do we do"?

Oh those Solar Neutrinos
They just go right through you
Those pesky little critters
Are giving us the jitters

Yeah, OK I see it, but let's not freak out just yet
Not until we're certain, not until we've double checked
Let's keep this under our hats
We don't want all the fighting and fussing
What if we've got it all wrong?
I don't want to cause panic for nothing

They're in a flap at Fermilab
There's concern at CERN
I knew a girl at the Hadron Collider
They wriggled and jiggled and shivered inside her

Mate...mate, look here, look at this, look
What if we've missed a trick?
What if there are different flavours, like crisps
Our basic palate just can't detect
I think we've gone off half-cocked, jumped the gun
I think we've got all excited for nowt
It's understandable, easily explained, but we've gone and freaked everyone out

People, as you were!
The neutrinos are all flowing fine
And the Sun isn't dying
Not now, not yet, not this time
You know the Sun isn't hot enough
To do what it does?
Quantum Tunnelling? Cosmic Cunning?
One day we'll run out of luck

Stick 'em in the Tokamak
Stick 'em in the Tokamak
Stick 'em in the Tokamak and make it so

Stick 'em in the Tokamak
Stick 'em in the Tokamak
Stick 'em in the Tokamak and watch 'em go!

Oh those Solar Neutrinos, they just go right through you
Hanging out at DUNE trying to fathom why
They're only ever passing by

Well back there it seemed like the end of the world
But I have to admit for a moment, in spite of
The obvious problems it presents for us all
I couldn't help feeling
Excited

Solar Neutrino Problem

She’s Got To Go Lyrics

(Verse)
She speaks to God, she talks, but he never replies
She’s done a whole lot of living, not afraid of goodbyes
She says, "Destiny’s calling me, shut your eyes, count to three”
She’s got no plan, but a note on the back of her hand No money in her wallet but a dream to expand
She’s got to go, she don’t know
Places to see, “leave me be”
(Pre-Chorus)
But mummy and daddy are scared and alone And mummy and daddy don’t know where to go And they look for help but nobody knows
And they look for her, but she doesn’t show
Oh so softly, tentatively, they know She’s got to go
She’s got to go to places unknown
(Chorus)
She’s got heart, don’t need a plan Takes her destiny into both hands My lord, show her the route
Give her the path to understand
Leaves her loved ones, takes a chance Makes her own luck in life’s great dance The road is long, she’ll go on
And defy the doubts they had
She’s got to go... She’s got to go... She’s got to go
(Verse)
She packs her bags, takes flight in the dead of the night Never felt so alive as she follows the light
She’s on her way, lots to say, won’t delay, watch this space
She knows too well how hard it is when starting out Nothing gained without risk or a little doubt There’ll be mistakes, day by day
But she’ll play the game in her own way
(Pre-Chorus)
But mummy and daddy are scared and alone And mummy and daddy don’t know where to go And they look for help but nobody knows
And they look for her, but she doesn’t show
Oh so softly, tentatively, they know She’s got to go
She’s got to go to places unknown
(Chorus)
She’s got heart, don’t need a plan Takes her destiny into both hands My lord, show her the route
Give her the path to understand
Leaves her loved ones, takes a chance Makes her own luck in life’s great dance The road is long, she’ll go on
And defy the doubts they had
She’s got to go... She’s got to go... She’s got to go
(Bridge)
“Destiny’s calling me, life may be no symphony”
And she knows what people say, but she’ll never change her ways Lots to gain, but if she stayed, there will come a day
And know she made a mistake that’ll never go
It’ll be written in her soul
“Destiny’s calling me, shut your eyes, count to three
Keep the dream alive” and that is why...
(Chorus)
She’s got to go
She’s got to go to places unknown
She’s got heart, don’t need a plan Takes her destiny into both hands My lord, show her the route
Give her the path to understand
Leaves her loved ones, takes a chance Makes her own luck in life’s great dance The road is long, she’ll go on
And defy the doubts they had
(Outro)
She’s got to go... She’s got to go... She’s got to go
And there she goes...
