An endearing track full of heartfelt yearning, “Feet Out the Window” is the latest from Vancouver-based singer/songwriter Geoff Gibbons. “The song was born after a conversation with a friend who had recently gone through a tough marriage break up… wishing to remember his former partner in the best of their time together,” Gibbons explains.
“Your feet out the window, yes that’s what I miss,” the vocals yearn. Further lyrical sentiments express not a bitterness, but something else — a more reassured sense of nostalgia, looking on brighter days as the sun shines down on a joy ride shared with the one you love. The frolicking acoustics and twangy bursts remind aesthetically of Damien Jurado, while the steady vocals conjure a more classic country/Americana presence that melds beautifully within the retrospective longing conveyed in the lyrics and soundscape.
