Today, Wide Open Country is happy to premiere "Rose Coloured Frames," the latest from Buckley's upcoming sophomore album Driving in the Dark. The gorgeous, plaintive song is about looking back to look forward and finding comfort in the haze of nostalgia.
"'Rose Coloured Frames' is a song about letting go of something that once was, while knowing that it can never be," Buckley tells Wide Open Country. "The song was an exercise to find peace with some moments from my life. It helped me to remember the purpose of nostalgia, especially when the memories are painful. Because even if it wasn't always the case, it's nice to remember things fondly. "
For Driving in the Dark, Buckley teamed up with esteemed songwriter and producer Leeroy Stagger. The record is the follow-up to her 2014 album Motorhome.
