Iron and Wine
it’s been a while… anyways…
I was recently listening to all songs considered podcasts. They have a concert from Iron and Wine, which is great. I didn’t know much about them (really him - Sam Beam) until I got one of the demo cds in one of the music magazines I am subscribed to. I really enjoyed his track: “Boy with a Coin”, from his latest album release: “The Shepherd’s Dog” late in 2007.
The lyrics are a bit sad, but I love this verse:
” A girl with a bird she found in the snow
then flew up her gown and that’s how she knows
that God made her eyes for crying at birth
Then left the ground to circle the Earth”
enjoy…

I am surprised you haven’t listened to him before. I have a couple of albums. Time to get that aged Scotch and listen to some depressing music.
