Canadian glam-rocker Art d'Ecco recently signed to Toronto indie Paper Bag Records. His first single for the label is our Song of the Day, "Nobody's Home.” Art describes the song like this: "'Nobody's Home' is the true story about a woman on the run from an abusive relationship. She makes her escape only to be looking over her shoulder for the rest of her life. The woman I wrote it for is no longer with us, but her spirit in her later years was beautiful and full of life. She loved to dance. And yet, she spent a lot of her time alone in fear he would one day show up."
The song comes from Trespasser, released in October. Below, watch the video for “Nobody’s Home” which was directed by Jasper Savage and stars Katie Nicole Evans, who dances throughout an empty grandiose house.
