Terra Lightfoot Releases Warm and Nimble Acoustic Reimagining of “Out of Time” from 2023 Standout Record, Healing Power
JUNO and Polaris Prize-nominated Haliburton, Ontario singer-songwriter Terra Lightfoot is sharing a rich, acoustic new version of the thesis track from her most recent album, Healing Power, entitled “Out of Time.”
Performed with best friend and touring band member, Elijah “Eli” Abrams, this acoustic rendition of “Out of Time” finds Lightfoot and Abrams leaning into their live harmonies on the track.
“Eli has started singing more over the past year and when we rehearsed this song before the Healing Power touring cycle started, he started singing a harmony, and I sincerely mean this as a compliment, but it sounded so good I assumed it was someone else in the band! I had never heard him sing like that before that moment. I think that this song became an opportunity for him to shine in a quieter moment in the set, not just the ripping through the loud and wild rock ‘n’ roll moments we tend to share onstage.“
Lightfoot wrote “Out of Time” after having a near spiritual experience with a tree growing on top of a mountain in Austria:
“I felt so deeply connected to this tree when I saw it, growing all alone without any other trees around. I took it to heart and it became a symbol of perseverance or just growing wherever you’re at, and that being good enough.“
Stripping the song back to its core message with Abrams, this version of “Out of Time” gently reassures the listener with the strength of a love that is willing to persevere in the face of apocalyptic circumstances.
On 2023’s Healing Power, Terra Lightfoot showcases her considerable clout as a pop songsmith, delivering a dozen stunning tracks that together represent a career-high. The album is her third outing with producer Gus van Go, and it is a tribute to her creative ambitions and capacity that the collaboration is yet another quantum leap in her artistic development.
