Bobby Freemont ‘Somewhere by a Lake’ - The Song That Almost Got Away

There’s a rare authenticity in “Somewhere by a Lake” that only comes from years of sitting with an emotion until it’s fully understood. Bobby Freemont’s patience pays off in this vulnerable, soul-baring track. You can hear the evolution in every line—this isn’t just a song about longing; it’s a document of longing.

Lyrically, Freemont strikes a delicate balance between specificity and universality. We may not all be tied to a city we’re trying to escape, but we’ve all dreamed of peace that feels just out of reach. His collaboration with Nick Ferraro subtly enhances this tension, weaving in understated instrumentation that allows the lyrics to lead while still adding a rich sonic palette.

This is the kind of track that lingers long after the last note. It doesn’t shout to be remembered; it simply nestles into your thoughts and refuses to leave. With “Somewhere by a Lake,” Freemont proves that sometimes, the songs that take the longest to finish are the ones most worth waiting for.
