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.[2] The last track, "Pay Attention to the Human", features a poem written and performed by Tony Benn.[3][4] MacIntyre wrote the album in New York, his wife's home city.[5] In 2009, Irvine Welsh used the track "You're a Star" from The Water in his comedy Good Arrows.[6] The track "Be My Saviour" first appeared on the soundtrack of the film Stormbreaker.
