Sam Beam lives in Miami, FL and makes music under the name Iron & Wine. He is a father of two (both daughters) and teaches cinematography at a local college. September 2002 saw the release of his debut album, The Creek Drank the Cradle. That record was/is hushed, literate, intimate, melodic: a quiet treasure which, with its unaffected candor and depth, found fans all over. Both in the bio for the first record and in (perhaps an unwitting, self-fulfilling prophecy set in motion by that bio) subsequent press surrounding the record, a fair amount of focus has been narrowed on these two facts: Sam Beam lives in Miami and most of his music is home-recorded. This lends some interesting context, but really, these things are solely that: context. The simple explanation is More... (Submit New Iron & Wine Lyrics) (Submit New Iron & Wine Lyrics) Review about Iron & Wine my opinion | Reviewer: unknownpersonality ------ About the song Flightless Bird, American Mouth performed by Iron & Wine Though I heard this song in the Twilight soundtrack, I never tie the songs with the movie, unless it's a musical. I won't write about what I think it means, because that would just confuse people. This is a very pretty song, I like it. Just a thought!! :) | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Flightless Bird, American Mouth performed by Iron & Wine I love dis song so much!Its really strange how it just randomly enters my head. Ok so lyric meanings rite...well I honestly dont know. I guess to me it's about dis spontanous young guy dat was in love and got in way over his head, (in too deep).D girl was more mature or wise and could always shed light on his foolish ways.But den something happened and their relationship was ended by someone,parents or his foolish ways and she left.He searched for her with his dog-eared map.The flightless bird refers 2 her as she is trapped, possibly jealous by wat he did, or weeping.American mouth is probably his own mouth dat might have gotten hin into trouble n d big pill is his idea of suicide as he lost her. D fat house cat is himself years later after having lost her and stills want 2 find her but has lost all hope.He is still nursing his sore blunt tongue dat said things he regrets. He is lazy now and feels like he has no purpose and cant function as he refers 2 himself as a cat but still lets all the rats cum and go. D fishing lures dat cause death and catch people out r cleansed in d cold stream and he hates dis idea of easy forgiveness and redemption. H e is still looking 4 his flightless bird dat he imagines is grounded bleeding - hurt and has lost any faith,dreams or spirit dat would make her soar. And the big pill stuck going down is d guy committing suicide and not even getting dat right as he feels useless. Sorry if none of dat made sense. Just my random rambelings! :) man this song. | Reviewer: Grant ------ About the song Naked As We Came performed by Iron & Wine i just had a go at it on guitar. i think i agree with everyone about the eternal love even through death meaning. but i also feel that both the man and the wife are praying that they'll die first, in the arms of the other half. the one to die second will have to scatter the ashes and eventually die alone. its half happy with the 'smiling' lyrics showing that he finally knows that he's in an unbreakable relationship with a woman he loves, for the rest of his life but its half sad for the fear of the reason i stated above. i know when i get married i'll cherish every moment. This song is the story of my life... | Reviewer: Nomad ------ About the song House By The Sea performed by Iron & Wine For as long as I can remember, I've dreamed of a green-eyed beauty with Blonde/Black hair. Every time I dream of her, I'm filled with a euphoric sense more intense than any mind-altering substance I've ever encountered. But at the same time am filled with dread. This House by the Sea actually depicts my dream home. I live in a very beautiful climate, seperated from the ocean by a lot of islands. My wish is to be burried on a cliff overlooking this magnificant masterpiece of God. This "Green-eyes" has endured so much pain, and changes the locks as a nessesary safety precaution, due to a past life. I've been searching for her my entire life. I'm in love with a dream... lol! I only have eyes for this women, and I will probably crawl through the end of the world just to know her before I die. I had a dream and Googled "house by the sea." this was the third page on the list... Coincidence? Or God's will? or... | Reviewer: Jocelyn ------ About the song Free Until They Cut Me Down performed by Iron & Wine I think its about a guy who raped a girl because they were in the moment, or so he thought. Even though he doesn't feel like he did anything wrong everybody and/or his dad think hes guilty. Hes saying that when he dies itll be okay because he didnt do wrong,he wont be punished in the afterlife. Happly Sad.. luv it!! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Passing Afternoon performed by Iron & Wine i do agree with all of you! i heard this song in dr house md and i letterally fell in love with it! that s amazing.. absolutely fantastic ! so sweet and deep... love it, i really love it lots! it make me wanna cry.. .dunno why it just happens! make me feel sad.. but happy lets say happly sad! it reminds me when I was little girl.. adn it makes me think of my mother, though it talks about a lost love,, oh. so romantic!!anyway i feel sad.. but i adore it! great job.. ts great! Love | Reviewer: Valerie ------ About the song Passing Afternoon performed by Iron & Wine but my hands remember hers, rolling 'round the shaded ferns.... the first time I heard this song I literally stopped what I was doing and listened. I had never heard it before and I am honestly in love with this song. It is beautiful and I cry every.single.time. I hear it. its about a relationship | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song House By The Sea performed by Iron & Wine to me this seems to be about conflicted feelings in a relationship. he loves her, he's chained by her. the sisters are one woman. she feels the same way: wants to change the locks on her doors so he can't get back, but also laid out on the floor from pain because of their conflict. brilliant song | Reviewer: billy ------ About the song Upward Over The Mountain performed by Iron & Wine I heard the studio version of this song and I was amazed, and then I listened to the live version of this song on "norfolk" and I started tearing up. How can a man create such poetry. This song is achingly beautiful. * | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Jezebel performed by Iron & Wine This is actually a rather deep song referencing "Jezebel" as a cultural symbol. The most popular story of Jezebel comes from both Hebrew scripture and the Bible. Jezebel is traditionally viewed as a villainous woman who turns her husband and the Hebrews away from Yahweh in favor of a pagan religion ("you're the only shape I'll pray to" refers to idolatry of their paganism). Acting in what favor of what is referred to as "divine revolution," Jehu convinces Jezebel's eunuchs to kill her by throwing her out the window and leave her to be devoured by dogs ("the window was wide, she could see the dogs come running" refers to her death). Elsewhere in the Bible, Jezebel is the name of a prophetess who is accused of inducing others to commit acts against the church. Because of these stories, "Jezebel" refers to a villainous woman. It is only in recent feminist and secular theory that both Jezebels have become symbols of blame for religious and sexist movements ("she was born to be the woman we could blame" refers to this in the case of both women). Most beautiful song in the world | Reviewer: meghan ------ About the song Passing Afternoon performed by Iron & Wine I truly believe this song is the most beautiful song in the world. I cry almost every time i hear it. Seeing him sing live is amazing. Every word he sings is coming from someplace buried in his heart. The song overwhelms me. I feel so much True Meaning | Reviewer: Ohms ------ About the song Flightless Bird, American Mouth performed by Iron & Wine Here's what I make of the meaning. Its a love song to America or the American ideal. The first 2 line "Quick wet boy" Clever but Naive man "Diving deep for coins" Chasing money and the High life Illegally "Street Light.... plastic toys" - America admired him for what he owned ie.cars, house etc "Cops closed the fair" - went to jail "Cut... baby hair" - No longer Naive "Stole me a dog eared map" - Looked for answers that many have looked for "Called... everywhere" - Still trying to understand what went wrong "Have I found you... bird" - "Asks himself if this is what america is about" "Lost you you ..." - "Asks himself if he misunderstood what america is about" THE following part is about Him in jail many years later. "Walm poisen rats" Watching new people coming in to jail. "Wide cracks" How easy it is to get into jail "Pissing on mag photos" - an insult to the american ideal "Fishing lures" - the entrapments on the american way ========================== Its sad if you think of it that way beautiful | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Sea And The Rhythm performed by Iron & Wine i just bought the song, and immediately looked up the lyrics... they're beautiful. there's really no other word to describe them better, the whole song forces every sense and feel and emotion into your mind whether you were ready or not. i think its a beautiful song about making love, love becoming so necessary and natural and massive just like the ocean and natural rythms good song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Such great heights performed by Iron & Wine Does it realy matter who wrote the song? Its an amazing song either way the only reason ive ever heard this song was because i was staring into my loves eyes when it started playing and ever since it been one of our songs and i like this version better.But whats the point in who wrote it and sang it its only a song not the bible the rhythm | Reviewer: Bailey ------ About the song Sea And The Rhythm performed by Iron & Wine I can picture it too. Perfectly. Closing my eyes I feel the song. I feel the rhythm; I feel it flow through me. I would like nothing more than to think that this song was written for me, and someone loves me so much as to create a piece of art in my honor. But alas, no such luck. Inefável | Reviewer: Liz ------ About the song Sea And The Rhythm performed by Iron & Wine I think from the author's point of view it's about mother and child. But I personally believe you should take out of music (and any other form of art), whatever you please. And to me, this song is about two people, in love and much more, and their intimate moment together. If I close my eyes, I can see and feel every move, touch, and feeling described in this song. It's definitely my favorite of Iron & Wine's, so far. Another House fan. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Passing Afternoon performed by Iron & Wine I understand how original fans of the artist could be upset... well, I'm hunting down the rest. Without this song, the last episode of that season would have sucked. It pulled it together with the touching lyrics and harmony... which totally sold the episode. Yeah, I cried. And again, and again just listening to the song. I didn't realize the song was enough by itself until later. I can't attest for the twilight noise since I don't watch it. But I'm glad the song was on House since I watch that, and it awakened me to this artist. Beautiful music like this should be played far more often than just for a well written episode. Loved it. iron and wine vs. bright eyes | Reviewer: Jay ------ About the song Boy With A Coin performed by Iron & Wine I am huge fan of both Iron and Wine and Bright Eyes I have all of their CDs. I have to repectfully disagree that the two "bands" are similar. I just don't see it or should I say hear it. BTW I have been listening to both since they came out with their first albums. Too many years ago to remember. Wasted Time | Reviewer: ruby ------ About the song Bird Stealing Bread performed by Iron & Wine i think its a song of a once in a lifetime chance., A boy too afraid to cross the boundaries of more than friends and a girl who was waiting for him to cross it., and when the boy finally was able to ball up his courage., they already drifted apart. So he is wondering of the what-could-have-been and if the girl still feels the same or has already move on with someone else. beautifully touches your heart | Reviewer: katherine ------ About the song Fever Dream performed by Iron & Wine This song is so beautiful. Just listening to it makes me want to cry. As these other reviews say, it's both a happy and sad feeling. I love Iron and Wine. The songs really touch your heart in ways that other songs just can't.
