Indie Artist Horseshoes Drops New Single, "L.A."


The Indie-Rock singer releases a new track exploring the dissonance between authenticity and superficiality.

Washington, DC (September 22, 2023) - Indie-Rock artist Horseshoes drops a new song, “L.A.” on Friday, September 22. “L.A.” explores the dissonance between authenticity and superficiality, and how we are supposed to navigate those themes throughout our lives. 

“L.A.” acts as a deep five into the feelings one experiences when feeling the pressure to do what they're told. Over a tumultuous sonic journey with strong lead vocals, classy piano riffs, and soft instrumentals, this track concludes with the notion that it is better to just be who you are rather than try to conform to who others want you to be.

Authenticity and staying true to oneself is the silver lining within this song, which I hope listeners can resonate with.”
-- Horseshoes, Indie-Rock Artist

Picture a clear and sunny day in Los Angeles where no one seems to have a care in the world. Now picture a crowd of those people smiling and laughing, and imagine the one person who feels stuck in a pool of people who don't understand what it feels like to be depressed. Horseshoes highlights the reality of struggling to force yourself to be happy, just because being unhappy doesn't seem to fit the norm.

"LA" LYRICS

Depression in the sun


And it's raining down roses on everyone


Watch them wither on the ground


Detached at the stem, never knew when you became unbound


The angels are overcome

They've seen it all before but now you've come to settle the score


The oasis is in a drought


They said "keep it moving, don't shout, get clever and figure it out"


Calm and steady when you're ready


Please strike a pose


Early morning sun's a warning


To do what your told


But I'd rather die

Than spend a life time


Trying to become


Some other guy
