IRON & WINE: JOY

I couldn't live without IRON & WINE. I Think Sam Beam is the best singer songwriter of last two decades. This is JOY from his last album Ghost on Ghost. Another little masterpiece. Hope You Like.

LYRICS

Deep inside the heart of this troubled mess

There's an itty bitty boy tuggin' hard at your hand

Born bitter as a lemon but you must understand that you are bringin' me joy

I only lie when they don't want the truth

I'm only frightened cuz you finally give me somethin' to lose

It's as loud as a thunderclap but you hear it too

But you're bringin' me joy.

[Interlude]

Deep inside the heart of this crazy mess

I'm only calm when I get lost within your wilderness

Born crooked as a creek and come to confess that you are bringin' me joy

When I'm alive I'm livin' for you

When I'm a bluebird dyin' I'll be singin the blues

It's a heartfelt silly sort of bumbling tune but you're bringin' me joy.

IRON & WINE: NAKED AS WE CAME

Behind the name IRON AND WINE  hides Sam Beam. A musician, singer and songwriter from Florida, but rooted in South Carolina. His sound, which dominates the acoustic guitar and banjo, has been compared to Simon & Garfunkel, Nick Drake and Neil Young. The labels have made music from "Iron & Wine" ranging from alternative country, progressive folk and Indie folk. We can say  that Iron & Wine's music is beauty, pure and simple. Although Beam songbook is extensive and interesting, we have chosen this beautiful video of one of his most emblematic songs: NAKED AS WE CAME from his second album "Our Endless Numbered Days" (2004).

LYRICS

She says "wake up, it's no use pretending"

I'll keep stealing, breathing her.

Birds are leaving over autumn's ending

One of us will die inside these arms

Eyes wide open, naked as we came

One will spread our ashes 'round the yard

She says "If I leave before you, darling

Don't you waste me in the ground"

I lay smiling like our sleeping children

One of us will die inside these arms

Eyes wide open, naked as we came

One will spread our ashes round the yard
