Nova Scotia Buzz
Dartmouth native, singer, songwriter and actress Samantha Gracie has released her new single, “Lilacs”. The song, which many can relate to, came to Samantha last summer while she was isolating at her late grandmother’s home in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
Her grandmother’s home had been vacant since her passing in 2019 and going back to the home filled with childhood memories was both difficult and comforting at the same time. Gracie’s inspiration for the song came from her Grandmother’s love for the lilac tree that grew in her front yard.
“Grief flows through us in many forms, different everyday… one day, for me, it came out as a song. May 27th would have been my grandmother’s 85th birthday, this song is dedicated to her.” said Samantha Gracie.
“At first, this song had a specific inspiration, however it grew into a love song about missing someone in any capacity. I hope it comforts you and reminds you that we all experience loss, longing, and sadness when navigating grief.”
Samantha Graice is no stranger to the spotlight. She starred in the very popular Netflix holiday movie Hometown Holiday and Amazon Prime series The Influencers.
You can stream or purchase Gracie’s new single on all major platforms.
