Oregon In A Day

I don’t know what to say anymore to you babe
I don’t wanna be friends
we drove up north singing loud
where is your mind now
I’ll never get it again
Wanna hold you love you touch you like I can
everyone’s gone away
everyone's gone away
I don’t want you looking out
seeing where I am now
sitting down in the shower
you know I tried trusting you
looking out at the moon
kissed me on our tower
Wanna love you hold you touch you like I can
everyone’s gone away
everyone's gone away
Gotta get back again
summer’s been coming up
Oregon in a day
walk ahead, get to choose, take what I gave you
i’m too slow today
everyone’s gone away
everyone’s gone away

A Song About Loneliness

Sorry I'm late, got caught up
Looking through boxes of old things
No, I swear I'm alright now
Doing fine today, I promise that
It doesn't bother me anymore
I'd rather hear about your day
Tell me
Everyday we do our best
To avoid any and everyone
It's a life I've often feared: to want to fly
But be tethered to the ground
Loneliness is one shore bird
Resting on a fence post
An idle car wasting fuel
For the sake of being outside
A letter placed in your drawer
But you don't dare to read it
Tell me
Everyday we do our best
To avoid any and everyone
It's a life I've often feared: to want to fly
But be tethered to the ground

15 North

Snow falls hard on the old 15 North
I'm not sure I'm gonna make my flight
With the heater on, I can't help but open up
While our vision whitens out
Concern is raised, trouble may be in store for me
But I'm defending the pain willfully
In due time, I'm coming home to what I thought
Would be a safe and welcome life
For what I feared would be behind that yellow drawer
Pieces of forgotten hopes reside
Along with notes and wires hidden from plain site,
A flower in a plastic box resides
I picked it up, observed it for what I thought was
Every second happening at once
I threw away mementos of old progress
But the flower, in that drawer, will rest
I've been told that it will snow by five AM
So don't let me fall asleep tonight
"I'll get you home, if even in a dark backseat"
But don't you know: there is no home for me?
I sit and think, while Francis drives me off to sleep:
"Where is this highway taking me?"
For the first time in this beautifully awful life
I remembered that I am alive

Colorado Girl

I'm goin' out to Denver
See if I can't find
I'm goin' out to Denver
See if I can't find
That lovin' Colorado girl of mine
The promise in her smile
Shames the mountains tall
The promise in her smile
Shames the mountains tall
She bring the sun to shining
Tell the rain to fall
It's been a long time, mama,
Since I heard you call my name
Ah, been a long time
Since I heard you call my name
I got to see my Colorado girl again
Be there tomorrow
Mama, don't you cry
Be there tomorrow
Now, mama, don't you cry
I got to kiss these
Lonesome Texas blues good-bye
I'm goin' out to to Denver
See if I can't find
I'm goin' out to to Denver
See if I can't find
That lovin' Colorado girl of mine
That lovin' Colorado girl of mine

La Bonte Los Angeles, California
La Bonte is a quiet rock band from Southern California.
La Bonte recommends:
The Whole Thing Is Just There
by Young Jesus
Using indie rock to both destroy indie rock and create something new. I want every future set of theirs to just be "Gulf" for 30 minutes.

...The Return of the Guardian Angel
by Bedhed
The best record from the best band from LA that no one will probably get to see ever again
go to album
The Moon is Down
by New Balance
One of my longest friends making peaceful sounds from another time for now. The title track is one of the best songs I heard in 2018.
