Samantha Crain returns with new single, "Dragonfly"
Oklahoma-based singer-songwriter Samantha Crain has returned with “Dragonfly”, her new single and first solo release since 2021.
“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," says Samantha about the inspiration behind the song.
"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.”
"Dragonfly" is out now via Lucy Rose's Real Kind Records.
