In Their Words: “‘Bloomsday’ is the kind of song I never thought I’d be able to write. There is a certain peacefulness and stillness that I’d never thought I’d be able to write about, let alone experience personally. That old traditional gospel song ‘This Little Light of Mine,’ it feels so childlike and so ancient and wise at the same time and it has such a calming effect on me. I wanted to incorporate that feeling of hope and lightness in with my lyrical explorations of mindfulness and fortitude in my own life. With the video, I wanted to expand on that idea and show how easily those good and kind characteristics are passed on to others if we practice them in our own lives.” — Samantha Crain
