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
Why can’t everyone just think like me
Cause I’m the only person who won’t do things that make me feel weird
Everyone else is sullen and stunted
Won’t talk about their feelings or they do and then can’t shut their mouths
Sometimes they tell me I’m important to them
But it’s only temporary til somebody wants to smooch them
I should just learn to not listen to them
But it’s so hard when they’re pretty and I’m dying for connection
How did I become so trusting
Always knew that if you asked I’d follow you across the country
Now look at me, I’m so pathetic
Crying over someone with my girlfriend sleeping next to me
Each time this happens I think I’ll learn
But just because you make the same mistakes won’t mean that they don’t hurt
I don’t have time to think about it
No time to cry for anyone while working off your student loans

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
