With his latest single, “Somewhere by a Lake,” indie artist Bobby Freemont delivers a moving portrait of longing—not for fame, success, or romance, but for peace. That may seem like a quiet kind of desire, but the way Freemont writes it, it feels epic. The track is deeply personal, yet its emotional reach is universal. In just under four minutes, it speaks volumes.
Freemont first wrote the song in 2018 during a difficult time in his life, but it’s only now, in 2025, that he felt ready to share it with the world. That decision to wait is a testament to the artist’s care and self-awareness. The result is a single that feels fully realized—emotionally grounded, sonically refined, and strikingly real.
The song explores the idea of “almost leaving,” of fantasizing about escape while remaining tethered to the life you know. It’s not a breakup song. It’s not a lament. It’s an honest reflection on the conversations we have with ourselves when no one’s around. Freemont’s voice carries that intimacy effortlessly—vulnerable, worn-in, and quietly brave.
“Somewhere by a Lake” floats on a bed of soul-infused indie textures. Collaborator Nick Ferraro brings a subtle complexity to the arrangement, letting the instrumentation support the song’s emotional arc without ever overpowering it. It’s understated, yes, but never simple. Every layer feels emotionally considered.
What’s most impressive is how much space the song creates—for the listener, for memory, for breath. In that space, you might find yourself reflecting on your own moments of unrest, your own imagined getaways. Freemont isn’t prescribing a solution; he’s just naming the feeling. And in doing so, he offers comfort that’s rare in modern songwriting.
As Bobby Freemont builds toward his debut album, this single makes one thing clear: he’s not just an artist to watch—he’s an artist to listen to. Carefully. Closely. And again. “Somewhere by a Lake” is an offering of quiet resonance in a world that so often forgets how to be still. Luckily, Freemont remembers—and now, so will we.
