deer44 Deep and genuine, Samantha Crain perceptively gets to the heart of the human condition. In particular, High Horse beautifully navigates the waters of love and loss with profound poignancy.

    Lovely gatefold card case with CD of A Small Death. with option for signed by the artist or not.

    *A NOTE ON SHIPPING COSTS*
    I get a lot of emails about the pricey shipping costs so I just want to address it here. I'm not scamming you. These are the actual costs of the US postal service priority mail right now. Especially shipping outside of the USA, the costs are very high, I know. I wish I could do something about it to make this more accessible but I can't. I only send priority mail now instead of a cheaper media mail because I've had so many issues in the past with things getting lost or destroyed if I don't send priority mail and then I end up having to reimburse the cost of the record as well as the shipping and I've lost a lot of money that way so this is really the only option for me shipping right now unfortunately. Just know that all the shipping costs are going towards actual postage, I'm not pocketing any money beyond the cost of the item. I understand if you can't stomach the shipping cost, I don't blame you....love you anyways :)

about

I have a drawer of old photos and letters and various keepsakes from my past. Recently, I went through it and was staggered by how different the person that experienced the events in the pictures and wrote the words in the letters seemed from who I currently feel like I am. It was a surge of different emotions while diving into that thought. I felt lonely and confused, seemingly watching a stranger live my past life. I was relieved, consoled in my reincarnations. It was embarrassing and sad and joyful and wistful all at once. Mostly, I felt grateful for the gift of life though, grateful for the whole thing, as cornball as it sounds.

lyrics

Late in the evening I, I got lost in a drawer of names. Names on letters and photo booth strips, stubs from movies and baseball games. From the cracks in my textured walls, weeps a loneliness that falls into the pit of my stomach. Endless black like a new 8 ball, but at this point I've mapped it out.

I know the shape of a great heartache
I know the weight of a big mistake
I know the sound of a warm crescendo falling away

“We could’ve made it last”. I tell myself that when I’m talkin’ to myself. A disagreement seems as natural as a plant bending toward the sun. From the high horse where I sat, you were also up there on your own ride. An emergency and we both were in shock but these days I know the drill.

I know the shape of a great heartache
I know the weight of a big mistake
I know the feel of a magical moment fully explained

And so do we just act normal?
Do we smile even now?
So many years past but I know, man, I know too much now
So many years past but I know, I just know too much now

I know the shape of a great heartache
I know the weight of a big mistake
I know the depth of a sinking love you couldn’t persuade
