Dara Maclean
Jul 11, 2011
Dara Maclean was featured on iTunes as one of the select "New Artists To Watch" and her single "Suitcases" was the Discovery Download of the week. The song is from her full-length debut "You Got My Attention," which will be available everywhere July 12.
"While listening to my dad speak one Sunday morning, I remember hearing him say, 'You can't run when you're holding suitcases,' and it immediately sparked," said Maclean. "I imagined trying to navigate through life, while holding suitcases that were bursting at the seams. One flies open and out comes a baby blanket, which is a metaphor of fears, doubts and insecurities. Then a picture of an ex-boyfriend falls out and we start to realize what we've held onto from our past is the very thing holding us back from our future. I hope this song is an anthemic reminder for us to set baggage aside daily and live free."
