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 8th May 2023: 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/batch487

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 (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Melle - Can't Come Home

Lyrics:

The cards are on the table
I gave you all I got
I thought that we’d be able
To get out before the flood
 
Nobody can tell me
Where everything went wrong
So please somebody help me
Help me sing my song
 
Ooh
When I close my eyes, and count to five, you’re gone
 
I can’t come home now to save you from the fire
I can’t come home to tell you everything’s alright
Oh I can’t come home now to give you sound advice
I can’t come home to hold my baby one more time
 
We were driving out to my parent’s house last week
I saw it in your eyes and in the way you didn’t speak
 
Oh even your goodbye was perfect
You left me loving you
And now I’ll never want to hurt you, but I wish I wanted to
 
Ooh
When I close my eyes, you come to life
and I reach
 
I can’t come home now to save you from the fire
I can’t come home to tell you everything’s alright
Oh I can’t come home now to give you sound advice
I can’t come home to hold my baby one more time
 
Ooh
Ooh
 
I can’t come home now to save you from the fire
I can’t come home to tell you everything’s alright
I can’t come home now to give you sound advice
I can’t come home to hold my baby one more time
 
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Can't Come Home

Ella Baila Sola

~ Lyrics ~

An anchor
Absorbing the current
An armour
Reflecting the bullets

There's still a motion,
A barrel roll
There's still a bruise,
A momentary difficulty

It is easy,
To learn
When all around is
Even odds
And open arms

And if you fall through
I know you won't fall far
Cos if you far through
You won't fall far

An accident
Another way
Always could've done
An animal
Only nature says
Who gets away, or maybe not

There's still
A magic word
It sometimes works

It is easy,
To learn
When all around is
Even odds
And open arms

And if you fall through
I know you won't fall far
Cos if you far through
You won't fall far

Wouldn't it be wonderful
Everybody all at once
Equal

Wouldn't it be wonderful
Everyone loves everyone
Really

It is easy,
To learn
When all around is
Even odds
And open arms

And if you fall through
I know you won't fall far
Cos if you far through
You won't fall far

It is easy,
To learn
When all around is
Even odds
And open arms

And if you fall through
I know you won't fall far
Cos if you far through
You won't fall far

Glue is a lively and energetic song that's sure to get your toes tapping, but beyond the catchy beat and upbeat tempo lies a deep exploration of vulnerability, connection, and the power of interpretation.

Overall, the lyrics of Glue are poignant and evocative, capturing the feeling of finding safety and comfort in someone else's care.

📝 Lyrics:

These are the glory days
So why are you scared we are young
We are the risks we take
I breathe strong 

Starlings free-form
Over these moors 
Where my heart lies
Cemented in all of time
And all past loves

Over on the hills 
In five years still
All remains here
Untouched by the turns of life
And I get lost in my mine

I'll be still as the wind spills its body
I'm breaking out of the line
I'll be calm as the winter storms surround me
I'm heading out this time

Look into the stars
I've been thinking more
About this whole thing
Through the gaps of a moving train
For who we are

Little do I know
Come come and go
And love
We build up

I'll be still as the wind spills its body
I'm breaking out of the line
I'll be calm as the winter storms surround me
I'm heading out this time

Who plays the fool
When we've failed out last hurdle
Who claims the crown
When we've poisoned the rest of our lands

These are the glory days
So why you scared 
We are the risks we take
I've breathe strong

I'll be still as the wind spills its body 
I'm breaking out of the line
