A letter of lamentation, ‘Into The Wild’ portrays the internal dialogue of a solitary explorer, communicated back to civilisation from the solitary clutches of the deep wild. It Is a reverence for the vagabonds of beauty, for trailblazers of the likes of Ruess, Thoreau and McCandless - all of whom followed an innate and inextricable invocation to journey forth into the heart of a wilderness, confronting the human condition in pursuit of a deep peace. ‘Into The Wild’ evokes natural landscapes, where humankind holds no dominion: the celestial lure of snow-capped mountain peaks, the vast silence of an immeasurable tundra and the embrace of a distinguished flame, burning beneath the canopy of silver spruce. ‘Into The Wild’ is the reveal of a dream, a cacophony of rarefied thoughts and desires, refined into the quintessence of feeling. It recognises the wild as necessity, a great teacher, unfathomable and unattainable and therefore irresistible to the explorer. It calls forth those who wish to live deeply, to extrapolate the marrow of life and advance towards their dreams.
lyrics
Suicide was never a part of this mission
Oh to reach the top of the mountain rise
And deep in the fuel of a wild ambition
Prosperity knows how to undo every mile
I need to move, beyond the longing of my mind
I need to move, beyond the chaos of mankind
And I came here, with a virtue so simple
And I came here, into the wild
And I came here, with a virtue so simple
And I came here, to leave it all
Oh I feel the night, wrap itself around me
And a darkness so intensely,
A friend you never knew was there.
leading me on against my back,
Leading me on along this empty track.
I need to move, beyond the city, the streets, beyond the refuge
I need to move.
And when ask you me, well what do you do
I’ll tell you that I climb
And I came here, with a virtue so simple
And I came here, into the wild
And I came here, with a virtue so simple
And I came here, to leave it all

Samana is a journey of internal and external exploration. Their music is forged with its own distinct weight and
significance, born from the interpretation of dreams, the study of ancient rituals, philosophies of love, loss & death, and the quintessence of interior discovery that results from personal experience. Samana create their art in their analogue studio in the remote valleys of Wales....more
A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo
Well, does it live up to the hype? It's okay, not as good as 'Loops' or the 'Fenella' stuff; i doubt i'll be listening to it in full very often.
Her mojo is waneing in my 'umble opinion. vykr
