Wait 02:43
Wait all day Always after it feels faster Until then wait When it's over time moves slower Just keep waiting Always wait When it happens there's no question Just keep waiting Always wait Until my body Until then wait Until my body levitates

Sea sailing solo Three to six to go Sleep comes easily sea sailing solo Should be taking notes Log the miles to go Apparitions thought Descriptions of naught The flags were raised The day came They wondered where you were You were first Sea sailing solo Three to six to go Sleep comes easily seas sailing solo The flags were raised The day came They wondered where you were You were first

Falling off It's hard enough to be a good sport Should've done it, but I didn't Sport

Cottonwood 03:31
Needles and pins Flows with the wind Lighter than air Escapes with no end Shiver in unison Rest on the water Drift into the fiber Rest on the water

Copperhead 03:17
Eye level to the ground River sounds Grey gravel all around Just lay down You there Who cares Bayonet Wood spear Hold it dear Mind winds down Fading sounds Writhe around You there You care

Faroe 03:02
The bounty is there if you know where to look It must be for the thousands of miles it took Crawl on the ground On a windswept plain Replace down with hay Take to the sky for days at a time Return to find someone relieved Are things the same? For all change needs is time Crawl on the ground On a windswept plain Replace down with hay

Little resin seal You need rest Little resin seal Soft edges It wears off like it always does It changes shape yet still fits the form Feels better than before It's faded white like it always was It has no ears but hears every word Found it's way to you Little resin seal You need rest Little resin seal Soft edges credits

Closer 03:17
It's on your mind more than you like More than you like it gives you the proof Gives you the proof to keep on your mind All of the time It gets closer You're the closer It gets closer

Zeke's Song 03:10
Don't you want to be by yourself Don't you wish you were someone else Don't you want to ring every bell Don't you wish that someone could help My ears are ringing too

Saw You 04:13
I thought I saw you standing in the middle lane Fixed on something else A thing you don't explain I want you to love me the way I love my family Altruism is nothing I want you to love me the way I... I though I saw you Light reflecting off your skin Pieces of a whole Where this life begins I want you to love me the way I love my family Altruism is nothing I want you to love me the way I...

about

“Warm Waters,” the debut solo release by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Samantha Christine, takes you on a high desert trip through the brutality and beauty of the irresistibly magical and yet inhospitable landscape where the album’s songs took their final form. The Santa Fe, New Mexico based musician has written an album that is heavy, yet sparse, pretty, yet discordant, utterly devastating, yet hopeful.

Recorded in Terlingua, Texas, located in the Chihuahuan Desert on the Texas-Mexico border, Samantha Christine sought to pursue a recording experience that animated the songs with their intended je ne sais pas. Seeking out renegade producer Bill Palmer, who is known for his off-grid and unique mobile studio techniques, Christine and Palmer chose the historic St. Inez Church for the project. The ghostly sounds achieved from the one-hundred-year-old adobe walls, wood floors and ceilings; along with the one-hundred-and-ten-degree day-time temperatures, only enhanced the spirituality of the space and experience. Traces of the church’s wind chimes and resident swallows can be heard in the background of many of the tracks, which were purposely left to their own devices during the recording process.

After Christine recorded the vocals and instrumentation, what was envisioned to be an acoustic, singer-songwriter album took an entirely different form. Four days later, with unknown quantities of Lone Star consumed, and numerous laptop icepacks administered, the songs formed into a weighty, lush, gorgeous album.

A local Terlingua resident lovingly described the desert as the devil; a place where one can’t possibly imagine the ways it will try to end you. One also can’t imagine the ways the desert can shape an artistic endeavor. “Warm Waters” is an album that can transport the listener to that emotional space in any particular place where the vision quest is needed most.
