Denial never sounded so good. Emmy-nominated Gabe Lopez returns with an end-of-summer queer pop bop.

“I am absolutely and without a doubt I’m almost sure… I’m over you, I’m over you.  I am definitely and entirely it’s mostly true… I’m over you, I’m over you.”

Let the happy sounds of totally kidding yourself wash away those tears from the “bright sunlight.” (Sure, sure.)

Gabe Lopez's next queer bop comes on the heels of his successful singles "High 4 U" and "Can We Do A Little More Than Talk?" Release Date: August 23, 2024.

I Am Absolutely and Without a Doubt I'm Almost Sure

Fort Collins, CO – Venture Still, the acoustic pop-rock band from Northern Colorado, is thrilled to announce the release of their debut full length album, *Home*. Join them for a special, all-ages release show at The Armory in Fort Collins on October 13th, where they’ll bring their latest work to life in a night filled with music, fun, and connection. The album represents years of hard work and personal growth.
*Home* explores the highs and lows of life’s journey, from navigating loss to finding where you truly belong. The album captures the essence of Venture Still’s evolution, both as artists and as people - showcasing deeply relatable lyrics without sacrificing the band’s signature positive vibes. Some of the sound design and effects may go unnoticed on first listen, and that's exactly how the band wants it. There is plenty of ear candy to keep you engaged for years to come. "Nothing But A Ghost" perfectly showcases this juxtaposition, with a sparse verse and ghostly tones that match the subject matter, while the chorus and bridge elevate the mood to nothing short of inspirational. With all the experimentation and exploration that went into the album, the band never loses sight of what the fans want. The quasi-title track, "Found Our Home" is a shining example of the uplifting folk pop sound that longtime listeners keep coming back for.
The album release show kicks off at 7 PM (doors at 6), with the iconic Wendy Woo opening the night. Fans can grab the new album and exclusive merch, like shirts and stickers, while soaking in the intimate and inviting atmosphere that Venture Still is known for.

Checklist Kind of Love (Radio Edit)

Life doesn't happen to you, it happens for you.

LYRICS

Scrolling my phone passing time I
Feel like I'm falling far behind
It's my favorite way to hide
From the pain inside my mind

Why is life so hard?
Feel like I'm lost inside a maze
Can't escape
And I just want to give up

Stop! I'm better than this
Don't listen to these stupid thoughts
I am not a victim

Life will happen bad and not always to plan
But I'll always respond with everything I have
When I'm knocked down, I rise up stronger
Transforming pain into opportunity

Life is happening for me
And I create my reality
It is, it is, it is so
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful

So I try to hold my head high
When everything is burning down
And TV wants me to believe
That this place is a tragedy

But life doesn't have to be sad
It's not about what happens
It's how I respond
That makes all the difference

Let's Go! This is my time
I'm capable of anything
I can dream so I will sing

Life is happening for me
And I create my reality
It is, it is, it is so
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful

It won't always be easy
But that's part of the journey
It is, it is, it is so
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful

When I let go
Of trying to control
The way it is
Peace will follow

I'll embrace
Whatever's happening
The good and bad
It's all a gift to me

When I let go
Of trying to control
The way it is
Peace will follow

I'll embrace
Whatever's happening
The good and bad
It's all a gift to me

Life is happening for me
And I create my reality
It is, it is, it is so
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful

It won't always be easy
But that's part of the journey
It is, it is, it is so
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
