Samantha Crain shares new single "Pastime"
Samantha Crain has shared another preview of her forthcoming album A Small Death, in the form of new track "Pastime".
"Pastime" is the fourth single to be shared from Crain's new album, after earlier releases "Holding To The Edge Of Night", "Garden Dove" and "An Echo".
Crain says of the new outing, "It's interesting how I find myself in almost the exact same spot today as I was when I wrote the lyrics to this song almost three years ago."
"When I wrote the song, I was living a quiet life (without the ability to play instruments and perform)," Crain explains. "And spent my time talk-writing poetry into a voice recorder, reading, walking, watching birds. My life now, with travel restrictions and social distancing, has taken on a similar shape of pause. I felt, then, like I was getting to know myself from scratch, peeling off a costume that I was put in as a child and allowing myself, for the first time, to dress myself and fully lean into my curiosities and sensitivities."
Crain adds, “This song phrases that journey as the excitement of the giddy and audacious stages of a new romance because I truly felt (and still do) in that way about finding these new facets of myself."
A Small Death is Crain's first LP since 2017's You Had Me At Goodbye.
