With “Somewhere by a Lake,” indie singer-songwriter Bobby Freemont has released more than just a single—he’s opened a door into his inner life. This track, built from years of reflection and creative refinement, is the kind of song that gently rewires the way you listen. It’s meditative, grounded, and completely unafraid to dwell in stillness.

Written during a deeply transitional phase in Freemont’s life, the song channels the tension between wanting to leave and feeling stuck—something many listeners will find strikingly relatable. It’s not about escape in the dramatic sense, but about the longing for simplicity, quiet, and meaning. That emotional clarity is mirrored in the music’s sparse, soulful arrangement.

Freemont's vocals are tender, at times almost whispered, carrying a vulnerability that feels lived-in rather than performative. Every lyric lands like a personal note scribbled in a journal, and yet there’s a universality to them. Whether you’ve ever fantasized about lakeside living or not, the sentiment rings true: the desire to disconnect, to breathe, to be still.

What makes the track even more special is its sonic restraint. In a world of over-produced singles vying for quick dopamine hits, “Somewhere by a Lake” stands apart. It asks for patience, rewards close listening, and leaves space for you to insert your own memories, fears, and hopes. The fingerprints of Nick Ferraro’s songwriting expertise are here, but they serve the song’s heart—not its polish.

Ultimately, this is a single that proves Bobby Freemont is a songwriter’s songwriter. He’s not here to dominate charts or chase algorithms—he’s here to tell stories that matter, no matter how softly they’re told. And in this age of noise, that’s exactly the kind of voice we need.
