Before You Go

My Next Ex - Habit

Join Bourbon Therapy in an intimate setting, as you listen to this three-song live album recorded in Oakland, CA on 1-20-18.

Ever wonder what Bourbon Therapy would sound like playing live from your living room? Well now you'll know! In this intimate, live acoustic mini-set, Bourbon Therapy performs two previously unreleased tracks plus one of their fan favorites. Enjoy an inside peek into the band's live performance as they intertwine indie-rock/Americana sounds with stories of how their songs were written and developed.

1) This Beautiful Scene

2) Peace That You Deserve

3) Untethered

The EP begins with "This Beautiful Scene," an instant Americana classic about a vision of beauty and music, driven by piano and bass with the sweet tones of pedal steel sprinkled in. Maria Long's soaring lead vocals are the song's centerpiece. "Peace That You Deserve" follows. It's a tale of America's veterans returning from the horrors of war only to battle their personal demons upon return. The story is told from the graceful voice of Rebecca Skiles on lead vocals. Both "This Beautiful Scene" and "Peace That You Deserve" are previously unreleased songs. The final track of the EP is "Untethered." The studio version of this song was released on Bourbon Therapy's 2016 album "Hymnals and Hangovers." This live version is led by Rebecca Skiles on lead vocals and features rich dynamics and a haunting chorus.

This Beautiful Scene, 1 - 20 - 18 (Live)

Peace That You Deserve

Sometimes life gets you down and you need a little help.

"Lord Please Help Me" is a country rockin' song about life's trials, tribulations and what it takes to get through. Sometimes you can't do it on your own and you need a little help. We're all heading to the same place--it's a matter of how long it takes you to get there, and how smooth or bumpy the ride along the way.

"Lord Please Help Me"
I've taken the high road many times before
But it didn't help me to even no scores
So I'll punch below the belt this time
It might not be right but it feels fine

I know I've been told keep your nose to the grind
And give it your all each day
But I worked and I worked and I barely got by
So today I'm just going to get high

Lord please help me to know when it's time to go
Lord please guide me before I end up six feet below

They say it ain't smart to mess with a man
Whose hand holds a finger to triggers and plans
Well I may not be smart but I got a quick eye
And I'll give keeping my mouth shut a try

Lord only knows that I am such a mess
And He ain't been giving me nothing but tests
I failed each one, still willing to try
Keep answering His questions 'til I die

"This Beautiful Scene"

In my dreams I sang this song
Heard the world sing along
A chorus full of harmonies
But it was just a dream
It was just a dream, after all

Voices rang out through the dark
All joined in to sing a bar
Echoed over hills and streams
But it was just a dream
It was just a dream

I would settle for loving you right now
Be like the world joined in my song somehow
Harmony would rise just like in my dreams
And we would smile at this beautiful scene

"Not One Reason" by Bourbon Therapy
What if I’d fallen in love, without you
Would our paths have crossed, eventually
How would my life have changed, without you
I know it wouldn’t be the same

But here we are
Through the decades remained
In this journey, in this game

Don’t know exactly why
I still love you
There’s not one reason
Don’t know exactly how
Our love’s lasted this long
There’s not one reason...too many to count

What if you hadn’t been, there for me
Could I have stood on my own
How different life would be on my own
Who’s to say that I’d be alone

Now I won’t change my ways
You take me as I am or not at all
I guess that’s how we play this game
You could use to change but that’s just fine
