There are two sides to the Cowboy Boy story. Here’s the first: Olivia Maria and Mike Nevin started writing songs together in Boston. When Olivia moved to LA, Cowboy Boy persisted over FaceTime and weekends spent recording in each other’s home bases. That part’s easy, but packing up and leaving the East Coast was hard. Enter part two of the Cowboy Boy story — the PRINCESS/GOOD GIRL double EP out soon via Get Better Records.
If PRINCESS showcases a young band on the edge of critical life changes, GOOD GIRL waves from the other side of the aftermath. PRINCESS is shot through with caffeinated anxiety that could only accompany watching a long-term relationship transition into a long- distance one, and GOOD GIRL processes the heartbreak from a California zip code. For Cowboy Boy, growing is part of the process even when miles threaten to make them seem small.
Includes unlimited streaming of GOOD GIRL
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
November is always my least favorite month
Don’t give me a reason to hate it some more
I know it’s selfish but days like today
I wish you would lie when I ask how you are
You play me a song, run your hands through your hair
And I listen silent on your bedroom floor
You ask what I’m thinking and I can’t reply
Cause I’m wishing I was enough to keep you safe at home
Will you still think about me when you’re far away
When you won’t pass my house when you’re on your way home
Out of sight out of mind, now that phrase makes me cry
Please don’t tuck me away in one line of a song
So I’ll wait right here
I’ll wait all alone
When the days get short
And the air gets cold
Let me eat your fear
All the weight you hold
It’ll still be lighter outside
Than the day you go
November is always my least favorite month
So I won’t let it take you, stay here for a while
When the snow comes I promise I won’t make a fuss
But if you’re going to leave please don’t leave in the fall
A lovely album from start to finish. So good I bought it twice ( first digitally , then on CD ) . Immediately before writing this little blurb I also got the t-shirt. Standout song writing and a beautifully resonant voice. Poormonger
Discovered Mia a few years ago and immediately fell head over heels in love with the album, so I knew I wanted this for my growing CD collection bikinigrrl
