Hi, I’m Sam 😊

I don’t know about you, but I’ve spent a lot of time feeling like I don’t fit in in this world. 

I’m clearly not against technology (my whole career exists because of the internet 😆), or work (um, hello, I love my job 🎶) or many of the modern things that have been invented to make our lives “better” or “easier” (I, for one, am very grateful for washing machines).

But I often look around at the world I live in and think “this is weird”.

We’ve built so many conveniences that we now think we need them to survive. 

We’re surrounded by so much technology that we opt-out of time with real humans in favour of our phones. 

We have way more food, drinks and other substances available to us, at all times of the day, than our bodies can handle - but so much of it makes us feel like sh*t. 

And the food that makes our bodies feel amazing is sprayed with chemicals, or called “boring”, or priced in a way that makes it inaccessible to so many people.

And don’t even get me started on money! We get so WEIRD about it.

But what happens when we take all that away?

Who are we?

I’m not a scientist, but here’s how i see it:

We are animals. Brilliantly evolved, over hundreds of thousands of years, to live in harmony with nature — if you're counting from when anatomically modern Homo sapiens emerged.

And in the grand scheme of things, the “modern” world is ridiculously new. 

The Agricultural Revolution began 12,000 years ago. Humans moved from nomadic hunter-gatherers (who largely took what nature offered) to settling, clearing land, controlling water, and bending ecosystems to our will (most historians and anthropologists point to here as the real departure from living in harmony with nature).

Then we saw The Industrial Revolution (300 years ago). Fossil fuels, factories, mass production, urbanisation. If agriculture was the first step away from nature, industrialisation was the sprint.

And 75 years ago began The Great Acceleration. Post-WWII, everything spiked simultaneously — CO₂, species loss, plastic, population, consumption. Many scientists mark this as the start of the Anthropocene (the age where humans are the dominant force reshaping the planet).

Evolution (to catch up with and adapt to a new environment) usually takes (as a general rules of thumb):

• Simple traits, strong pressure — can shift in as few as 1,000–10,000 generations

• Complex behavioural or physiological adaptation — typically 100,000+ years

• Full species-level adaptation to a radically new environment — often millions of years

For humans specifically, a generation is roughly 25–30 years, so:

• 10,000 generations = ~250,000–300,000 years

• We've only had agriculture for ~480 generations

• We've only had industrial life for ~12 generations

The uncomfortable implication is that we have had essentially zero evolutionary time to adapt to modern life. Our bodies and nervous systems are still running 300,000-year-old software in a completely different world.

That's why so many modern health crises (chronic stress, sleep disorders, metabolic disease, disconnection, anxiety) are thought to be rooted in this mismatch.

So of COURSE I’ve felt like I don’t fit in! NONE OF US DO.

And it’s all moving so fast OF COURSE I feel like I can’t keep up.

But also…. do I even WANT to evolve to adapt to this modern world? Do i WANT to keep up?

I’m still on nature’s time… not Australian Eastern Standard Time with a five day work week and an iPhone that tells me when it’s time to catch the bus 🫠

I don’t know about you but that makes me feel a lot better about my intermittent feelings of disconnection to the world we live in.

And I know what people say…. we can’t go back.

But what if we moved forward AND put our relationship to nature first?

(Which, by the way, includes us. WE ARE NATURE)

The way I see it, we’re all the same. Made up of the same elements, breathing the same air, seeing the same stars. We’re all animals, trying to survive and, even better, thrive on this super-intelligent Earth. I think coming back to that simple truth is how we WILL thrive, long term - individually and together 💜

So, for me, this album marks a turning point. A deepening of awareness that I don’t want to blindly follow the aspects of progress that don’t put the natural world first. I want to choose, with clear intention, how I spend my time, energy and money - and how I spend the Earth’s resources.

My body is the most beautiful machine I will ever hold. This Earth is the most beautiful machine that holds ME. Love is a verb, so I will do what I can to give more than I take 💜

 I know this might seem weird…

I just want to say…. I know this might seem weird!

Some random singer-songwriter popping up in front of you on the internet, telling you all about her feelings, offering you her new album on vinyl with free shipping and a big bunch of downloads 🤔

Why should you trust me?? And what kind of proof is there that this album is even any good?

Well, let me answer those questions for you 😊

Actually, I’ll let some of my fans answer them ❤️

There are SO MANY more messages, comments, emails and conversations like this ✨

Actually, the response to BEAUTIFUL MACHINE is the exact reason I’m now plastering this album all over the internet 😂

I’ve been seeing these songs resonate with people, all around the world, ever since I released it in March.

I’ve had people tell me that it expresses exactly how they feel, that it’s inspired them, made them think more deeply, and helped them make decisions that feel truly aligned.

I’ve had people tell me that singing along to these songs reminds them who they are.

I wrote them to remind myself who I am… so that makes sense… and I’m sparkling with happiness that it’s resonating so much ✨🌳
