Eora/Sydney indie pop artist Darcy Lane has totally won me over with her latest single “Bored”. It’s got a fresh sound, but it’s the raw lyrics that really got me. Make sure you tap into them, because they are so powerful.
“This song is really about all the feelings that come with rejection,” Darcy explained. “I feel like we live in a world where there is always the next best thing and that can be really challenging at times. It’s easy to be tempted by things that are shiny and new but that doesn’t always mean it is better. ‘Bored’ was intended to ultimately call out someone that ran away just in case there was someone better out there. I often wonder if they have found it yet.”
“Bored” comes from Darcy’s debut EP Heartquakes, which will drop on September 2. Get a sneaky early listen to some of its songs when she launches the single at Beach Road Hotel in Eora/Bondi on August 26.
