WATCH: Samantha Crain - 'Dragonfly'

Dropping in with the best news, Samantha Crain is back!!!!!! 

She's just shared her first new original music since 2021 (how time flies?!) in the shape of Dragonfly and I am absolutely here for it. It's no secret that I have a soft spot for my mutual loves of music and nature colliding, so a song about dragonflies? Yes please! 

Talking about the inspiration behind the track, Samantha shares: “Dragonflies are an amazing insect. They can fly in all six directions with great efficiency. They have iridescence, which allows them to appear differently depending on the light and polarization around them. They live most of their lives as nymphs, immature, not flying at all, but preparing for the coming moment of flight. They can see 360 degrees around themselves because of their compound eyes. 

To me, a dragonfly symbolizes the type of creature I aim to be: flexible and resilient in this ever-changing world that I have no control over, living moment to moment and moving towards potential moments of wisdom and lift–observant in my mind and seeing beyond the limitations of the physical self. This song is an ode to the simple sophistication of the dragonfly and how it mirrors the self-actualization that I have been searching for my whole life.”

BRB, I'm off to re-discover Samantha's back catalogue.
