about

Get your summer started right; don your shorts and sundresses, roll down the windows, and blast their first single, “Best Life,” on your way to the beach! “Best Life” is a celebration of friendship and a fun and feisty ode to living in the moment. “Sometimes the distance that you’ve traveled can’t be measured out in miles,” Mattea earnestly sings over Hunter’s anthemic guitar, Donnelly’s driving bass, and Manley’s exciting drum beats.

lyrics

There's a party out in Park View tonight
It's a short ride away, but it'll be alright
Because we are living our best life

I've got a feeling all the best kids are there
Singing about all the love we should share
'Cause we are living our best life

Isn't it lucky we've got each other
Aren't you glad you made it here?

Tell all your friends where it's all going down
Marvel at how fast the word gets around
That we are living our best life

I lost track of time and danced until 3
This is exactly where we needed to be
'Cause we are living our best life

I don't have the answers to life's big questions
But when we're together it all comes clear

That sometimes the distance that you've traveled can't be measured out in miles
And that's not just point of view
It's true nobody lives forever, but these moments were made to last
So I'm spending them with you

Tonight we're game for whatever
Life's too short to let it pass
We're all in this thing together
So take this moment and make it last

Dear Daria is a brightly-colored swirl of power pop, indie rock, alt-rock, and pop punk. Frontwoman Maryjo Mattea says “it's like if Lennon and McCartney grew up in the 90s”. ... more
