If you've ever fantasized about leaving the noise behind and finding solace in a place untouched by chaos, Bobby Freemont’s “somewhere by a lake” is your anthem. More than just a beautifully produced indie single, this track is a heartfelt escape wrapped in soulful melodies and lyrical vulnerability. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t just play—it speaks, and if you give it the space to, it might just say something you’ve been needing to hear. Here’s why you should press play:


 It’s Emotionally Honest, Without the Drama

 Freemont doesn’t try to impress with over-the-top vocal runs or flashy lyrics. Instead, he leans into sincerity, telling a real story of emotional burnout, longing, and the quiet dream of disappearing for a while. It’s refreshing, relatable, and grounding.


The Production Is Subtle Magic

Crafted with help from acclaimed songwriter Nick Ferraro, the track’s production is intimate and atmospheric. Each instrument feels hand-placed, from the soft guitar textures to the warm, understated rhythm section. It's the kind of soundscape you sink into, not just hear.


It Speaks to Anyone Who’s Ever Wanted to Escape

Whether you’re stuck in a job, a city, or just your own head, “Somewhere by a Lake” puts those feelings into words. It’s a sonic version of staring out a window and wondering what else is out there—and sometimes, that’s exactly the song you need.


It Builds Anticipation for a Highly-Anticipated Album

As the third single from The Death of Bobby Freemont, this track hints at an emotionally rich, deeply personal debut album. Listening now gives you a front-row seat to a rising artist’s creative evolution—and trust us, you’ll want to be there for the full journey.


It’s Quietly Addictive

This isn’t a one-and-done listen. “somewhere by a lake” grows on you with each play, revealing new emotional nuances and lyrical layers. One minute it’s background music; the next, it’s the song that defines your week.
