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
I think you liked me more from far away
It was easy when I was imaginary
Now I’m real and it gets harder to ignore
That there’s lots of things that you don’t like about me
When you love someone who lives inside your head
You can scrub away what doesn’t fit your narrative
All the big unseemly feelings that they hide
Cause their sadness means you’re less likely to care for them
I’m sorry I know it’s inconvenient
For me to be the one who needs something
What do you do when you become the second choice
When you can see it in their eyes they’re getting bored of you
I should’ve realized you can’t romanticize me
While I nurse my broken heart in the room next to you
Never thought I’d be your inconvenience
Even the concept makes me sick
I wanna talk but it’s the same words over and over
I wanna write but you’re the only thing I’m writing about
I wanna die but I don’t think that I’m that serious about it
I wanna tell you I love you if I thought it would work
How many times can I apologize
How many honest pages can I write
How many dinners can I cook for two
How many errands can I run for you
Next time I cry I’ll do it in my room
I won’t be sad when I’m in front of you
I’ll keep my feelings safe inside my head
Just so I won’t be inconvenient
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
