I saw fucking Sam Beam (Iron and Wine) perform live last night and I got to talk to him and shake his hand and he's even kinder and wiser and more chill than I could have anticipated. Also crazy handsome. And I got his signature!!! Gonna be riding this high for a long time.

“I get teased a lot for all the birds in my songs,” laughs Beam. “People who know me say “where’s the fucking bird in this one?” I like to think of it in the context that Cézanne painted a lot of oranges and Monet painted a lot of ponds. There are certain images that we return to because we find them inspiring and that’s OK. It has a lot to do with how I see the world, where I grew up and where I live now. It also has to do with how I like to live my life. I guess it’s possible to use one too many birds but as long as you use it in a way that feels new then I’m fine with it.”

Sam Beam & Jesca Hoop ֍ Sailor to Siren (2016)
This tenderness comes as a surprise
Drinking where the riverbed was dry
Trees in the wind trembling with love
Are you the sailor or the siren in the tide?
Your song is warm and coming through the wall
Hearts are thrown to strangers after all
You don't even know me that well

"Where we pray when our hearts are strong enough
We can bow, 'cause our music's warmer than blood...
...Where the sun isn't only sinking fast
Ever night knows how long its suposed to last...
...Every moon and our bodies make shining glass...
...And we get a chance to say
Before we ease away
For all the love you've left behind
You can have mine.
Iron and Wine; Call it Dreaming

Song Review: Iron & Wine feat. Fiona Apple - “All in Good Time”
Sam Beam composed a modern standard for his forthcoming album as Iron & Wine.
And getting Fiona Apple to join him on the waltzing story of a long and rocky relationship that is “All in Good Time” virtually ensures the first version will forever remain the definitive take.
Set to piano, acoustic slide guitar, light percussion and strings, it finds Iron & Wine and Apple trading first verses, then lines before singing together.
All in good time, our plan went to shit/I told my future by reading your lips/you wore my ring until it didn't fit/all in good time, they sing.
All in good time, we suffered enough/we met our muscle when push came to shove/swept all that broken glass under the rug/all in good time
Running just over four minutes, “All in Good Time” spans eight verses, two bridges and no chorus. It also spans a lifetime.
A stone masterwork.
Iron & Wine’s Light Verse arrives April 26.
Grade card: Iron & Wine feat. Fiona Apple - “All in Good Time” - A+

heaven was a corner where we tried to hide
our running would be long and our river would be wild
(...)
every heaven only you and i could find
our running will be long and our river will be wild
bells come back
we'll name a star we know all night
what valley is our claim when our coin is sky?
