Following the unexpected loss of her mother last year, the (now) 26-year-old turned to writing as a source of expression and healing. She filled her mother’s role as caretaker to her father, who was battling stage four lung cancer. When she lost her father last month, this song took on a profound meaning.
Stripped down with simply an acoustic guitar, piano and fiddle melody, vulnerability spills from Dakota Danielle’s silky smooth vocals.
“One Day Closer To You” reveals the raw and painful journey of healing while offering comfort in the idea of reuniting with late loved ones. It evokes a powerful response for anyone who has experienced loss.
Dakota Danielle kicked off release weekend with a performance at Dollywood “New Faces of Country.” She is slated to perform “One Day Closer To You” on WVLT News at 4 in Knoxville today.
