[@mlnberger]

[@oirottivilrac3596]

❤️Thanks bbc6, thanks Sam.

[@noteasybeingweezy]

[@bernicewalsh3432]

Nice wee song

[@sn1pe34]

[@sn1pe34]

Dancing is niceeee❤

[@VoiceofFox]

Lauren Laverne just played this on her BBC 6 Music show and it stopped me in my tracks. Gorgeous. Doesn’t appear to be from an album? Sonically it’s reminiscent of Lucius, which is who I thought it was at first.

[@davidstowell6462]

One year later and I'm still listening to Bloomsday at least once a week and I had the great pleasure of attending a performance by Samantha Crain at the Golden Dagger in Chicago. Just she and her little Martin guitar. Such a marvelous singer, and such a great songwriter, a true star. THE VOICE of 21st Century America.

[@chupacabrajr4152]

just heard it on bbc 6,

[@3rodox]

The last time I cried before hearing this song was 10 years ago at my Dad's funeral. Something about it man.

[@RivLoveshine]

This song wasn't released then.

[@3rodox]

@@RivLoveshine I know.

[@OkieDokiePinokie]

I get it… you haven’t cried in a long time, but the song evoked those emotions and you. some thing about this song moves me too. 😢

[@markwhite2207]

It's a grower, great harmonising and singing in general that draws you deeper....'and everybody's wonderin where there little light is'...a sonic balm

[@fizmath1994]

Heard it late at night on Iowa Public Radio.

[@MegaWin23]

As good as it gets. What a beautiful song.

[@dasterndastern]

This is my earworm for 2022... and quite possibly, beyond!!!

[@auggieeast]

Took multiple listens to appreciate this one, but it really grew on me over time.

[@ruthlumley8726]

I heard this song for the first time this morning on BBC 6Music and absolutely loved it. It's beautiful!

[@sweetf2a]

Same but a month after you!

[@dsjassi]

Didn't think it was possible to like even more each time I hear it. What a beautiful song and how lucky are we have to have Radio 6 so we can discover such tunes

[@boinng100]

Heard it today on Huey show..had to stop car and pull over..so beautiful

[@evillabrador1]

It’s on the BBC Sounds 6 music playlist.

[@ddavies1967]

Has me in tears whenever I hear it. The love here for Samantha & 6Music isn't helping. Bah. ♥️

[@markpeace10]

Glorious. I first heard this on the day COVID restrictions were lifted in the UK. We opened up the doors and had a goddamn beer.

[@isopdt]

oh my god, what a song. the best I have heard in many a year. just spell binding brilliant.

[@audreyfelso993]

Spring handshake from Central/Eastern Europe Samantha! Uh, Wow!!! I will listen more and plan to learn the claps of hands for kids. Sending You a greeting that we love a lot and use here, good for any time of the day all year round: Blessing and peace:) Mary Chapin Carpenter sent me too:)#spring PS I checked the lyrics, deep!

[@Souln-B]

I heard it on BBC 6 Music. Amazing follow up from the album “A Small Death”. Keep making beautiful music.

[@builditwell]

As I read the verses to this song, and the tragic mess it seems to allude to, I think of the Buddhist poem with the line "light and dark oppose one another light a front and back foot in walking." And this in a song that incorporates the children's Sunday school verse "this little light of mine, I am going to let it shine." And we have traces of James Joyce and his Irish holiday, Merle Haggard, and the witches of the Massachusetts Bay Colony (maybe?) all thrown in as well. What a great songwriter! The riches of literate poetry in songs are hard to find, but here they are.

[@jscservices2052]

Thank you 6Music & even bigger thank you Samantha..lovely song x

[@nia12]

Sounds like a hug from a distant friend! 🤎

[@kdcema57]

More than you know. I had a brain injury more than a year ago. I'd lost Samantha and 'Bloomsday' for too long. My daughter finally found it and returned it to my soul from far away. Thanks again and again, Samantha. Love, LOve, LOVe, LOVE. Sending big LOVE to ya. Good Luck to Us All Peace

[@hanabee27]

Had the opportunity to see her open (and perform with) Anaïs Mitchell at the 9:30 club, and wow, as nice as this song is recorded, she is definitely one of those singers who shines brightest on stage, completely different soundscape. Go see her live if you have the chance!

[@ddavies1967]

So glad we didn't lose you. The melody, the breathtaking harmonies, the slide guitar, just a sublime slice of total bliss. ♥️

[@ericmacdougall7049]

It is a beautiful song with a beautiful sentiment. If these words come from your heart that you are a very beautiful person Samantha Crain.

[@keith-leecastle6700]

God, I love this.....

[@adalreyes9439]

I work at the oilfield I’m from Alberta Canada, I was moving in a convoy with my rig to the nort of Edmonton, and I was listen this radio The Raven 89.3 fm and I just listened this song and I felt an amazing connection and vibes! What amazing song 🥰

[@robsdad]

Absolutely beautiful. It's nice to hear good new music is still being made.

[@lynnboitano995]

Love this song! Thanks KOSU Oklahoma music minute for introducing us to Samantha Crain!!

[@davidstowell6462]

I just read the lyrics for the verses, which you can find on Samantha Crain's Bandcamp page, and they are deep and dark. And fun and joyful, too! A great deal of emotion and vision condensed down to three little verses. Amazing to hear the song again knowing the lyrics. The very first tiny leaves started breaking out of their buds on the younger trees along my bike ride to work listening to Bloomsday. It all aligned in my heart and my ears and it's gorgeous. I feel lucky to be here now.

[@mattdean644]

BBC 6 Music discovery! A beaut! Looking at some of the other comments (in an age of social media), getting radio airplay still matters!

[@couchslouch13]

I have a whole playlist of stuff I hear for the first time on 6music, never thought I'd be getting into Radio in the 21st century but here we are!

[@kurisensei]

Same

[@GettingHyphy]

First time i heard this on CKUA, i almost cried. Still almost makes me cry in the best of ways. Just need the right moment for it to actually make me cry

[@Flodro250]

Did you get your moment. Cause I did

[@Plarocks]

Echoes on WYPR brought me here. What a beautiful, uplifting record. ❤️

[@OfAngelsAndAnarchist]

I’m normally a music snob but man I don’t want this to be any more complicated than it is It’s just beautiful

Shazamed this at the bar today because it reminded me of What it feels like for a girl by Madonna and it really struck me, it's beatufiul

[@anntorphy582]

Really good song

[@Danielatdusk]

I really like her music and she is a fellow Okie! Really inspiring lady indeed!

[@NativeAmericanMusicAwards]

Samantha just keeps getting better and better. Great song!

[@markcarr68]

Oh my God girl. Mickey Finn, Okmulgee and a voice from heaven. Wow wow wow. What a vulnerable/hopeful sounding song. Who are you? Where do you come from? I can't wait to hear more. I wish I could find a voice like that to produce a cowrite with. Until then, I've still got you babe..

[@dasdenkenland]

Thank you for sharing this song. It is beautiful.

[@albeen1786]

WHAT A SONG 👍👍👍👏👏👌👌

[@ddanna58]

Beautiful work and great timing!!

[@RB-od3cu]

First heard on CKUA, Canada's first public radio station. If you don't know Samantha's story check it out. An inspiration to any musician. Power through song. Glad she made it back into the studio.

[@billyb6043]

hits the spot. Love it!

[@MTtyer]

Very nice.

[@rjk8008]

Mary Chapin Carpenter mentioned this song on Instagram. Loving it.

Brilliant

[@colamuseum3953]

cheers radio 6, early morning drive to work

[@circlelotusmedia]

Shine on! 💡

[@michaelgoldman4176]

Wow

[@cheeselovingtree]

Heard this song on the radio by the side of a motorway, when I turned it up so my mates could piss in the grass off-road without hearing themselves. their bladders had some good timing for me to end up hearing this.

[@llamaduckling]

I love this so much!!

[@cpi23]

wow

[@jaylenlauren]

Any one know how to play this please x

[@rn3983]

Heard this amazing voice for the first time on Reservation dogs...Represent!

[@lkchild]

this is ace, but really difficult to find - can you make the thumbnail a pic of you holding the cake, as after seeing the ad it’s really difficult to find which video is the one when searching.

[@Bootrosgali]

Hey only Samantha is the name but there are more voices,, is she multi tracked ? Is there a collaborator? Is this a regular collaborator!!?? Thanks Samheads

[@kdvinson5638]

I love you, Samantha Crain. Please take good care of yourself. This song, music, and, video...wow Peace

[@mohansolarised]

sound's like 90's

[@yusefbukany706]

زور زور جوانه🥳

[@steveroenigk3287]

Kudos to UnderCurrents on NPR! They play this song a lot. Just beautiful!

[@PostModernTruth]

Came here to see if anyone else had noticed the Grim Fandango reference. Great song, heard it on the Radio 6 New Music playlist.

[@fizmath1994]

Can you explain what this means?

[@ddavies1967]

I've heard of Clem Fandango. Is that his Goth cousin?

[@edwardcutler6263]

Bbc radio 6 brought me here
