Love You Later — the project of Nashville-based artist and songwriter Lexi Aviles — is back with “Girl With Headphones,” the first single from her upcoming EP, ‘From The Window Seat,’ out May 5th.
Avilés had this to say:
‘Girl With Headphones ‘ is about feeling out of place, like you’re the only one living in your world. Things were feeling very dim at the beginning of this year and it made me think about how when I was kid I would feel like the main character in my own indie film, staring out the window of the passenger seat and romanticizing everything the world has to offer. There’s a true vulnerability and weight in this song as I pretty much admit I haven’t been feeling like myself lately. The song also comes with a sense of letting go and realizing maybe that’s what’s stopping me from being truly happy. ‘Girl With Headphones’ is about me, the main character, experiencing what it feels like to grow, let go, embrace the unknown, move on and return to myself. It’s a cathartic rollercoaster.
