Name: In Reality - EP Version by Cian Downing in ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 413
Duration: 3 min 34 s
Description: The opening track from singer-songwriter Cian Downing's debut EP 'English Summers', coming out on Loft End Records on Friday 9th July 2021. He wrote this song at the age of 16, and five years later has finally witnessed it come to life as a high-energy, singalong indie anthem.

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 5th July: 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/batch413

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.

Tomorrow Never Comes Today

She left me on Midsummers day
She didn't like to hear me play
My music
Stockhausen

She said she wasn't coming back
I listened as I watched her pack
To my music
Stockhausen

I knew we never would concur
But I loved him much more than her
My music
Stockhausen

Stockhausen Syndrome #3 (My Music)

The closing track from my debut EP 'English Summers', released in July 2021. Inspired by The Lathums and Billy Bragg, I made a real effort with the lyrics to try and paint a picture of what I was witnessing across the world. I tried to examine the 'year of protest' that 2020 was becoming, whilst highlighting the many contradictions of our national identity.

Can you tell I wrote this while studying at university?

Nevertheless - EP Version

Had this one in the works for a while, so may be familiar to some. Must have been listening to a lot of Oasis at the time.
