Call Your Boys - I can't stop listening to it. It makes me think of my father and it makes me cry. He's still alive and I'm a grown man, but the mere thought that my brother and I might have been disappointments to him brings me to tears every time. If your parents are still around, just remember that they won't be forever. We're all on limited time. Let them know that their efforts and sacrifices in raising you weren't in vain, but don't just do it in words, show them by making something of yourself. Show them by taking care of your family, being a loving father or mother. Show them that when they are gone, their lives as parents will have meant something. That's my goal in life, as important as any other career or other goal. :)

Something I appreciate most about iron and wines songs, particularly the old ones, is how beautiful they age with time. I usually don’t like watching artists perform old songs especially if they are performed differently but when Sam performs his songs they may change but they become more beautiful. The songs are sung by someone who has been changed by life and years. The beauty of the song makes me cry to think of how I’ve changed since I listened to these songs and how appropriate Sams performance is at conveying how things change over time. It’s so rare that music moves me in this way.

2 years ago I was working at Blue Bottle, and Sam Beam & Jesca Hoop came in and after their coffee I asked if I was doing a good job playing it cool about the fact they were there. Sam laughed and we small talked for a minute and he asked my coworker and I if we wanted to be on the list for their show at the Great American in SF. So, so rad, and Sam is such a great guy!

all the critics....
This is music, real music, which is lost in this day and age.
Sam makes music for the love, for the expression.
Appreciate that and his unbelievable talent to write and play so wonderfully.
who cares about acoustics when all of the above exists!
P.S. - Summer clouds is my new favourite Iron & Wines tune

Had the pleasure of meeting Sam Beam in Chicago. I worked at a design firm that was below a studio where he has recorded many songs. I went outside for my usual cigarette and he was sitting on the bench and I sat next to him. It blew my mind because I was (and still am) such a huge fan of his music. I did not however want to embarrass him or myself by coming off as star struck, so we said our hellos and a bit of small talk. I saw him a few days later and he shook my hand and asked how I was doing. As an aspiring musician writing in a similar genre, I was thoroughly delighted in our paths crossing. Part of me wishes I would have told him how much he inspires me, so until we meet again: Sam, Thank you for making such beautiful music. And thank you for being so kind. Phil
