Steve Moakler released today his latest song, “Suitcase.” The song leads Moakler’s album, due next year, and showcases his soft, expressive vocals. “Everybody wants to chase the rainbow and find a pot of gold / hoping there’s a suitcase full of money / but all I want is you, honey,” Moakler sings. Though a fantastic writer in his own right, he went outside for the release; “Suitcase” was written by Luke Laird, Barry Dean, and Thomas Rhett.
“‘Suitcase’ is a song that represents the heart of the album to me,” Moakler tells Taste of Country. “I remember when I first got the demo back for this song, I was on tour with my wife in a camper, we were traveling across the country playing for fans from all over. When we put this song on, we were driving in Minnesota — the road was wide open and the sky was beautiful — and we felt so much of those lyrics in that moment. This song is about valuing the simple things in life and not getting caught up in all of the distractions that pull us away from each other.”
