Iron & Wine // Minor Piano Keys
Iron & Wine // In Your Blue Eyes (unreleased demo)
Blue light setting lotus-style in your A-frame in the countryside
Stillness slides the door and walks inside
Candle on the windowsill burnt wickless through our low-lit meal
Heaven only knows what you hide
In your blue eyes, in your sly smile
Tangerine on both your hands smells strong as the tobacco-can
Roll me up a smoke if you don’t mind
Touch me like that afternoon when your friends would all be over soon
And you said, What the hell, we’ll make the time
With your blue eyes, in your slight smile
Blind Pilot // Oviedo
And maybe some things are better left unsaid
But if you wanted to test that, I will, yeah, I guess, I could’ve said
But there were nights in bars that I recall
Your breath was courage laced with alcohol
You leaned in, you said,
“Make music with the chatter in here,
And whisper all the notes in my ears.”
I didn’t know, I didn’t know the way of my tongue
I didn’t know, I didn’t know what I’d done
The Tallest Man On Earth // The Wild Hunt
I left my heart to the wild hunt a-comin’
I live until the call
And I plan to be forgotten when I’m gone
Yes I’ll be leavin’ in the fall
An acoustic song based on Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea. Which, incidentally, is one of my favorite books.
This one never fails to calm my spirit.
