I'm so glad I let Soundcloud choose what to play; this is beautiful!

Beautiful work! Great song, awesome vocal!!

Any artist is welcome to send us a 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 27 September: 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/batch296

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. You will be able to resubmit the track in future.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 296

Lyrics:
Dipping our cold feet
Deep in the sand.
The breeze to keep us warm,
Protect like your hands.

Chorus:
I never saw
Where it's gone
That glowy shore
One we love.

Is that to keep
In our minds?
Or wait till the new sun
Will arise?

Now it's all over,
Beginning to end.
No more breezy nights,
Feet in the sand.

Summer Cry

Areyou serious

Follow Me

Bud in to life,
Summoned by day
Ive gained the strength to shatter this ground 
found a way through these cracks somehow,
Lithe and so bare
But spring has come and winters death no longer leers 
So long I’ve waited to pull through this ground
buried underneath the weight of my doubt

Grown in ways that you’ve never known 
Flowered the seeds that were sown
And you bloom with colours so bold 
Awaken a courage you own 

Bud into life
trepid and frail 
steady, I stand firm in the ground 
this stem holds a weight so profound 
Abounding and dear
Spring has come and it’s breathing life into the air 
So long I’ve waited to pull through this ground 
Found a sense of what it means to not doubt

Grown in ways that you’ve never known
Flowered the seeds that were sown 
And you bloom with colours so bold 
Awaken a courage you own

Grown in ways that you’ve never known 
A flower watered to grow 
And you bloom with colours so bold
Awaken a courage you hold

'Not in this land alone
But be God's mercies known
From shore to shore
Lord make the nations see
That men should brothers be
And form one family
The wide world over'
