“I love making music you can move and groove to,” she says, “but at the same time, as Christian artists we have a responsibility to speak the truth in love.”
A singer of incredible grace, power and control as well as a gifted songwriter, she has put together with Dove Award-winning producer Ian Eskelin a debut CD that is as fresh and vibrant as any in recent years. Entitled You Got My Attention and set for release on Fervent Records this summer, the project combines the soul and urban pop influences that infuse her musical approach with elevating vocals in service to intelligently uplifting lyrics.
What Love Looks Like
Dara Maclean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never imagined life could be this good
When You found me
It stopped me in my tracks
My world spins right at last
That's what love looks like
Words fail to say
When you give your heart away
It takes you in, holds you close
Never lets you go
So picture all the best things in life
That's what love looks like
It's losing yourself and discovering the truth
More than a feeling, Your love is living proof
The only thing that gives me any hope
Knowing I'll never be alone
That's what love looks like
Words fail to say
Just what love looks like
When you give your heart away
It takes you in, holds you close
Never lets you go
So picture all the best things in life
That's what love looks like
So let it find you
And it will guide you
That's what love looks like
Words fail to say
Just what love looks like
When you give your heart away
It takes you in, holds you close
Never lets you go
So picture all the best things in life
That's what love looks like
That's what love looks like
It takes you in, holds you close
Never lets you go
So picture all the best things in life
That's what love looks like
That's what love looks like
