girlpuppy – Windows

Atlanta’s Becca Harvey, known by her stage name girlpuppy, begins the year with Windows, a wistful and introspective single that encapsulates the ache of revisiting a past relationship.

Harvey’s storytelling is vivid and evocative, opening with the haunting line, “Today I drove past your old house and sat outside for a while.” It sets the stage for a journey into the subtle pain of longing, where the past is as present as the house you once shared.

Musically, Windows is carried by gentle yet purposeful guitar work, which builds into a swell of emotion at its peak. Harvey’s voice, delicate yet resolute, mirrors the push and pull of yearning and acceptance. The song captures the impossibility of truly severing ties with someone once deeply intertwined in your life. Harvey’s poignant delivery of lines like “However much I might miss you, you’ll always have to miss me more” speaks to the unresolved tension and finality of moving on. Yet, rather than wallowing in despair, Windows feels freeing, like the bittersweet realization that memories lose their grip over time.

With this release, girlpuppy solidifies her place as a powerful voice in indie music. While comparisons to Phoebe Bridgers have been made, Windows demonstrates Harvey’s distinct ability to blend introspection with a quiet hopefulness, marking her as a storyteller uniquely her own.
