This is how this song was supposed to be played. Just Sam and his guitar.

So many feels from this song. Swirls of happy, sad, nostalgic, temporariness, summer

this song hits the goddamn heart. thanks for writing it, Mr. Beam.

Can't get enough of this song! Lots of memories - of love, life, music and youth...

Music like this is so incredibly good that it almost makes me feel sick from how amazing it sounds

Now I know why his vocal harmony stacks sound so good. That voice is spot on.

excellent just discovered him today .........and hooked

lillyandruben welcome to a wild ride! Bet you've been a fan ever since ;)

Sam is a master of imagery and alliteration

On every Iron & Wine video, the top comments are always about Sam's beard. Always.

One of those songs where you can feel time passing by but not in a bad way

Wow... what memories.. one of the most beautiful songs I have heard..

Sam is a national treasure.

His beard has a wonderful voice!!

this reminds me of van morrison songs from the 60's...soft, pretty, catchy and nostalgic....a welcome breath of fresh air!

You can't really ask for more than this

Only just came across this man... The anticipation of getting to know his music is killing me after watching this.

Simply beautiful. The fingerpicking is mesmerizing.

Can't get enough of this song

This is how the song was supposed to be played. Just Sam and his beard.

LONG LIVE SAM BEAM

This song makes me happy

this is on repeat for me tonight... I want to watch a whole film based on these lyrics! same for most of his lyrics, though...

it's absolutely amazing song

beautiful song...christfire...beatufiul guitar...beautiful man with a beautiful beard.

So nice when he's singing alone!

I imagine that's how Jesus speaks

Mary Ann, do you remember The tree by the river When we were seventeen? The dark canyon wall, the call and the answer And the mare in the pasture Pitch black and baring its teeth I recall the sun in our faces Stuck and leaning on graces And being strangers to change The radio and the bones we found frozen And all the thorns and the roses Beneath your windowpane Now I'm asleep in a car I mean the world to a potty-mouth girl And a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds Time isn't kind or unkind, you liked to say But I wonder to who And what it is you're saying today Now I'm asleep in a car I mean the world to a potty-mouth girl And a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds Time isn't kind or unkind, you liked to say But I wonder to who And what it is you're saying today Mary Ann, do you remember The tree by the river When we were seventeen? The dark canyon road; I was coy in the half moon Happy just to be with you And you were happy for me

And great to see fellow Tak player :). Great song.

Sam Beam is epic :)

hell yes takamine!!! and sam beam!! love him!

I'm getting emotional because of his voice it's beautiful

Wunderbar !

esse cara me cativa desde a primeira palavra da musica, sem falar do som do violão.

@chuls2465 I think the tasteless have been either quietly & mysteriously hypnotized into forgetting to choosing... or they have been won over & have developed good taste... In any case, this is beautiful!

@openclose153 ...Thank you for sharing... You helped me. :)

Fuck this is so much better than the record version. I wanna see him in concert alone not with a band :/

EN 10 C I HAVE ONE JUST LIKE ...LOVE IT NEARLY 20 YRZ NOW , JUST WARMING UP ...:)'

Thank you! As simple as that!

i enjoy listening to this song ,it sounds awesome in acoustic :) if only i knew were to get this in a tab for guitar X(

@maddessehexje OMG that show WAS AMAZING! LOVED BRIGHTON!!!

Omg.. zZZzzZZzzzZ GOOD! i wanna sleep.. night!

haha no prob! his beard is harmonizing.. that's GOLD!

The guitar is tuned down a 1/2 step for anyone interested

The 7 people who "disliked" like this song, should go under a rock and never come out! :o

Has anyone found a better version of this song ? I have been searching all over KZread but couldn't find any that matched this very version.

205am, and you had me laughing!!!!

He and his guitar. End of story.

Regardless of his music career, The Hangover ruled!

Great song! For anyone who asked the guitar is a Takamine EN 10. Great instrument but not more produced. This model is from mid-90/2000

I think the main reason why I get out of bed in the morning is because I cannot listen to this kind of music while asleep.

Takamine! Whoo!

I think I like acoustic version better. either way it's such a beautiful song.

@MrNoahKira I listen to and like a lot of different styles, yes. I don't really listen to lyrics that often...mainly just the music, and the tones the words carry. That way songs can represent whatever I want them to in my life.

@lyhneniels I couldn't tell you at the moment, its with my bands equipment in my buddies garage.. I'll get back to you.

thx :))

Sam = God

@seanskyiscool The capo doesn't affect the tuning, genius.

Just saw him live yesterday at Ravinia, it was beautiful

@rob25222 theres a good tab of the acoustic version on ultimate guitar

The advert before this make AaaAARRgRGggHG : / The saong after makes me Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh : ) Not sure if i like the new album as much as his older ones... This version is by far and away the best but the soundcheck version he did is good too.. Oh and he's playing in london later this year.. WOOHOOO!

It's actually a choir of individual blessed hairs :p Just reminding ya you're reigning top comment over here : )

best two comments on youtube

@rob25222 Just watch and learn by ear! That's what I always end up having to do

looking at him, I would expect a gruff toned voice and then he sings sooo sweetly, mmm.

Am Mittwoch, 13. Juli 2011 live in der Katharinenruine in Nürnberg! Infos & Tickets: kunstkulturquartier.de

@TheOldSpirit ummm just a takamine electric/acoustic i guess. i have one just like it expet black

@MrJackieryanpatton Do you know which takamine that is? I'm thinking of getting one

Not sure I like this as much as his earlier stuff, but I've only listened to it once, so maybe it will grow on me. The major key tonalities give it kind of a "sunshine and rainbows" feel...ala where Jack Johnson went when he agreed to do the "Curious George" soundtrack. Not as much depth in my opinion.

is he the counselor from the 80's show freaks and geeks? im not joking because on the show he can sing and he;s in a band

christinapanzarella doubt it but it’s funny because he was in the education industry prior to music

@LibertySole Cmaj7 perhaps?

what is a vocal harmony stack?

can i keep him?

@SantoClaudy Watch his version on tiny desk. Its better

know someone which guitar he plays?

anybody knows whats the tuning for this song? :/

@OrpheusXII I agree he's amazing solo, I just love his harmonies though, but only when he harmonizes with himself so, fuck I dunno

i like his beard too

@TMcR92 unfornately i cant learn by ear -_-

Choice*

if you like iron and wine you should check out broken fences. myspace is /broken-fences

@openclose153 that's pretty useless information considering he's using a capo

pick guard???

I'm thinking of growing a beard just like his ... wanna join me in this venture?

Imagine Sam Beam and Aubrey de Grey in the same room. :O

Hey, that's a Takamine P3D as far as I can tell.

i like his beard..
