...she told me to swim in the waves of her voice.

About Me

My name is Forrest Lonefight. I play guitar in a band called, ...and God Blessed Ignorance. We're based out of Des Moines. We enjoy playing lots of music, drinking beer, and smoking cigarettes all night long 'till we regret everything we did the night before the morning after...The page you see and hear is a place to come to whenever your tired from your internet journeys. A place to pull up a chair and sit for a spell, enjoy a hot drink, and enjoy this acoustic music that I have channelled from late nights in my bedroom. It's channelled from some place called The Big...that's all I know it as.

The humble man with the crippled will goes to summer camp

Last Saturday we had a gig at the Bricks with Jason Sturges and Cirrus Minor. It was a unique show that I was excited as hell to be a part of. Thanks to whoever thought of the psychedelic concept of t...

The dream was extraordinarily beautiful in a really disturbing kind of way. It involved me being a hero...or not?The color scheme was in a dark blue filter. The dream was in a field outside a house in...

"A Time for Smiles" is one of my favorite songs.The main riff in that was originally written for electric guitar. But I've grown to prefer the acoustic version over time...especially during late night...

Die or just regret everything you’ve done
