The Water is the first solo album by Scottish indie pop singer Colin MacIntyre, who previously made three albums as Mull Historical Society. It was released on 4 February 2008, and produced by Nick Franglen from Lemon Jelly. MacIntyre had produced the first three albums himself. The last track, "Pay Attention to the Human", features a poem written and performed by Tony Benn. MacIntyre wrote the album in New York, his wife's home city. In 2009, Irvine Welsh used the track "You're a Star" from The Water in his comedy Good Arrows.
The Water is a short film directed by Kevin Drew starring Cillian Murphy, David Fox and Drew's Broken Social Scene bandmate, Leslie Feist.
The Water explores the past, present and future of a family over 24 hours. Set in the middle of a cold beautiful winter, it explores the complex and intimate dynamic between loved ones, and loss with regret and anticipation. The story, told like a visual poem, unfolds in silence, in the faces of the characters and in the beauty of music, leaving questions about death, life and love.
The film was shot over a period of two days in January 2008 in Toronto.
Water, water, see the water flow
Glancing, dancing, see the water flow
O wizard of changes, water, water, water
Dark or silvery mother of life
Water, water, holy mystery, heavens daughter
Wizard of changes teach me the lesson of flowing
God made a song when the world was new
Waters laughter sings it through
O wizard of changes teach me the lesson of flowing
God made a song when the world was new
Waters laughter sings it through
