Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon, 19 February: from midday on Friday 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/batch273

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it is likely 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.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 273

Sleeping In The Backseat

A Cave In The Inside

Abstract Heart

From the album ”Ueomuitearukuhito”
Cover Art by Yuko Weiner (www.yukoweiner.com/ )

Kodama (English translation)　　　

Someone said ‘Surely’
And someone promised ‘forever’
But they came and left
I follow the trace of the dream
And I stand in the place of the memory
I watch the story that was already over

I will follow this dim echo
You will be there
Beyond this drowsiness
Let me hear your voice

I follow the trace of the dream
And I stand in the place of the memory
I watch the story that was already over
No past, no future, only now
Here is everything I have

I will follow this dim echo
You will be there
Not to get lost
I am listening far away carefully
Beyond this drowsiness
Let me hear your voice
Let me hear your voice

こだま

きっとって言っても
ずっとって誓っても
寄せては去っていくだけ
夢の跡をたどって
記憶の地に立って
終わった物語を見る　　

かすかなこのこだまを
たどる先にはきみがいる
まどろみの向こうで
その声を聞かせて

夢の跡をたどって
記憶の地に立って
終わった物語を見る
後も先もなくただ今だけで
ここにあるものがすべて

かすかなこのこだまを
たどる先にはきみがいる
はぐれてしまわないように
遠く耳を澄まして
まどろみの向こうで
その声を聞かせて
その声を聞かせて

lyrics by Kei & Hodges

Hodges - Kodama (こだま)

Oh joyful noise
All arise
The rich and poor
I care no more

Through thick and thin
Coruscating
The skin I'm in
I shout it out loud

You'll never be alone
Don't say I got it wrong
Until my dying day
I'll never go away
I'd watch you dance forever

If words are bombs
My heart succumbs
To heavy fire
And explosions

Your vows aloud
Become a cloud
That rains on me
In perfect chemistry

Paintings are not enough
Poems about love
The sun and the stars
This moment is ours

Dance Forever

Mother Tongue Remix

Mother Tongue (DanAleX Remix)

Retro is nouveau.
Retro is nouveau.

You can see it everywhere you look.
Everywhere you go it’s new for old stuff
‘cause retro is nouveau.

You can hear it travelling down the years.
All the songs you like are already in your ears
‘cause retro is nouveau.

It’s not cheap – it’s not antique.
Retro is nouveau.
It is chic – not obsolete.
Retro is nouveau.

Retro is nouveau.
Retro is nouveau.

Everything you do’s been done before.
Nothing is original anymore
‘cause retro is nouveau.

Sow what you reap - we’re not sheep.
Retro is nouveau.
Hide and seek – finders keep.
Retro is nouveau.

Retro is nouveau.
Retro is nouveau.
Retro is nouveau.
Retro is nouveau.
