By the time 2020’s pandemic shroud covered the land and stilled its musicians, Oklahoma songwriter Samantha Crain knew all too well about incapacitation. In 2017, touring behind her album
You Had Me At Goodbye, she was involved in three car accidents in three months, leaving her hands nerve damaged and debilitated, threatning her career. So the brisk and bright tone of her new EP is reassuring. Her shapely, idiosyncratic voice is still very much with us.
“I’m feeling good,” she says at the outset of Episode 168 of The String. “I feel like I catalogued a lot of tricks of survival, due to dealing with the various physical and mental health struggles that I had gone through in 2018.”

Samantha Crain has shared details of her new EP I Guess We Live Here Now .
The songwriter s 2020 album A Small Death was a delight, showing her lyrical artistry in full flight.
New EP I Guess We Live Here Now follows this, and it s set to land on April 9th.
The EP is led by new song Bloomsday , a subtle work that discusses how the most normal events can produce incredible insight.
She comments. I had bits of Bloomsday written out as a very long lyrical poem that I wasn t sure what to do with at first. I wasn t sure how to make it a song. One day, I was at work, at this market I was working at for a bit and I started singing the old gospel tune This Little Light Of Mine under my breath as I was working. It really just made me feel good almost immediately. I could feel the agency that I had over my own mental and emotional state just with this little song about kindness and love.
