Phil Gregory’s “Footprint” tells the story of a fleeting holiday romance – two people swept up in the joy of the moment, but holding very different perspectives. For one, the connection blossoms into something deeper, a love they hope will last. For the other, it remains just a sun-soaked memory, destined to fade.
The track captures that bittersweet space between hope and loss, all told with Phil Gregory’s trademark warmth and honesty.

Phil Gregory’s upcoming EP (release date still to be announced) will feature six songs exploring the many sides of relationships. From the raw intensity of lust in “Number on My Mind” to the heartbreak and healing of a broken marriage in “Heart & Soul,” the project promises an emotional journey through love in all its forms.
