(Behind) Closed Doors: Iron & Wine

[kristinbakersacres]

Love this.

[sphinxart]

Fuck'n. LEGEND.

[bladieblaat]

@BonIverSUCKS you funny, funny man :D

[ZombieBunny501]

@BonIverSUCKS you know something? you suck!

[MrNick2296]

HE IS FUNNY I DID NOT EXPECT THAT! did i spell expect correctly?

[napalmocean]

@MrNick2296 Yes you did.

[lesmerquita]

Most intimate performance ever! =)

[ohyeah320]

i like how he introduces himself "who are you?" "sam.. from iron and wine" so humble

[confessionsofagasman]

with or without the hair and the beard he is still amazingly talented

[audriejean7]

love the beard and love his music :) great voice and talent~

[SpamuelNeedbeef]

When I started watching this I thought to myself "who's that other person next to him..."

[trix2705]

He was AMAZING in Edinburgh on 11/3/11

[SuperNoobTroll]

HILARIOUS but Between Two Ferns is better in my opinion!!!!

[25Ragz]

@SuperNoobTroll im really tired of people saying he looks like zg he doesnt at all.

[SuperNoobTroll]

@25Ragz ok fine i'll admit.. zach gilfanakis and sam beard are two different people

[ecwork09]

what is the first song he plays?

[sgniwder99]

@ecwork09 It's called "Die," from the compilation "Dark Was the Night."

[growaliens31]

I thought John Denver died.

[wickedfun4419]

I love this man.

[clauhammer]

Love every thing by Iron & wine!...including beards!

[guyarusso]

If you like Iron and Wine you should check out Broken Fences. Myspace is /broken-fences

[sheilagreenfair]

Sam has a beautiful voice and great sense of humour. Writes and sings sensitively. BTW mouthpiecejet - Jesus was from the eastern Mediterranean .. the image of him as a white, blue eyed, bearded man is an invention of Renaissance artists ...

[atikker]

@sheilagreenfair he is hilarious. i just saw him a few nights ago, and he was cracking jokes the whole time... love him.

[owatonnamn]

he looks like the guitarist of suicide silence

[Tale077]

With great beards comes great responsibillity!

[snowboarderman37]

why are you so good at life

[owatonnamn]

At first I thought he had a clone

[theman2052]

this guy is super awesome



[MikeyFace21]

@fowlebm9 It's definitely not a seagul, the headstock is wayy to wide. Seeing as he isn't exactly a lesser known musician it's probably some european brand he picked up. That'd be my guess anyways.

[fowlebm9]

what is that guitar he's playing on..dreadnought obviously but the symbol on the headstock looks like a triangle at around 2:21. Obviously not his usual taylor...I thought it might be the seagull s6 but probably not...

[cor1080]

every time an elevator door opens i hope Sam Beam is inside.

[cor1080]

by far my favorite elevator music

[steebzs]

I like this... though he feels retarded, but puts down a most beautyfull set.

[Nevermind900426]

"it just feels retarded" haha

[yourherox]

the first time i heard this song i thought to myself 'he sounds like he's singing in an elevator' and what do ya know.. there he is!

[joshsellers7]

what's the name of the first song he plays?

[brycediedrich]

@joshsellers7 its called die... its from dark was the night album

[ericcartman89]

@joshsellers7 Die

[JimmyPage97]

@ericcartman89 some day.

[ChanceCooper125]

"Uhh.. Whuddya wanna hear? We're in a fuckin elevator.."

Hahah.

[hensly77]

this awesome you found a new subscriber

[drakonimetal]

Beautiful.

[orlytux]

@drakonimetal indeed 

[ChablesMan]

I want to spread his voice on my toast

[smilelikumnit]

@ChablesMan Yum.

[Ceilingkat13]

Jesus was made in the image of Sam Beam!!!

[el123iza]

Fantastic <3

[goodbyeseptember]

"Don't say we don't suffer for our art."

[aandybandy11]

BurningTheMasses , his talent like his beard is huge !

[sk8borderx]

his voice is like... a mixture of Fergie..and Jesus!. for a moment there..i thought he took the shape of a unicorn

[ericcartman89]

@sk8borderx I don't think that an elevator is a suitable enviroment to exspect this from him...

[DorothyDoll3]

it's so amazing when he plays boy with a coin that it's ONLY him

[buchsdrn]

neat idea. :) Great singing.

[bcard123]

that was bloody brilliant. sam beam is just simlpy genius

[yoyoyoson]

"we're in a fuckin' elevator.."

[willwolfgangschmidt]

Sam is my favorite song writer of all time

[summers15789]

Can you imagine walking into an elevator to see Sam Beam with a guitar...I would pray that thing got stuck.

[Alexanderisacoolcat]

Gotta love stoners with beautiful voices and beards ^_^

[garfunkelgrl]

sam beam made me like beards, and that was very hard to do.

[buryyourflames]

@garfunkelgrl I recently realized that a beard would complete my life because of Sam Beam.

[matthewcliftonvlogs]

Hey, guess what guys. This beautiful man right here. He was raised in a town an hour away from where I live. n_n

[maisieeeeeeee]

his voice is amazing. so lovely

[Haleysmokesweed]

I love Sam. he's beautiful.

[mfoust18]

Dude! Sam is totally high in this video!

[brandonmoped]

he is jesus.

[mouthpiecejet]

Jesus looks like him

[420Rebelz]

he looks like chris haslam..

[p0o7]

You mean Chris Haslam looks like him.

[surfer390111]

Is that his twin brother on his left?

[kronky2]

@surfer390111 it's called a reflection, lol

[megawert]

@kronky2 for real wow how could someone not know that it  was his reflection wow lol

[surfer390111]

It's called Sarcasm, thanks for playing dumb ass.

[ohnocabbage]

sssuuurrreee...

[ohnocabbage]

lmfao

[ikbenjitse]

wath is the name of the first song ?

[xLordOfTheFliesx]

Die.

[philofelinist]

the guy who gets on the elevator is so annoying and rude. "Are you scared?" what kind of a question is that?? I would feel like such an idiot if I said that after finding out who Sam is. I love that Sam is so down-to-earth about it though.

[sprstkr]

there is no guy.. it's the camera man saying those things

[philofelinist]

whoops yeah you're right! thanks for pointing that out.

he asks his questions with a strangely forceful intonation for the situation regardless.

[Jekameam]

"scared? no. it just feels retarded"

[poopturd159]

great great goodness

[09wilkmf]

he looks like chewbacca but i love him

[monoartmontana]

LOVE IT

[guitarguy182182182]

whats the second song called?

[lostXtheXplot]

Boy With a Coin, off the album The Shepherd's Dog

[ilovemutemath]

INDIE JESUS

[fishcheeks]

well it is a fantastic beard

[bigwaitsfan]

he seems like a pretty grounded guy (with the exception of being in an elevator lol). i`m soooo gonna buy some albums today!!!

[bwendell27]

LOVE

[duckbrandtapes]

He is amazing and his voice is so different and cool, I am in love. I think some of the beauty of his voice gets lost in some of his recorded stuff...but I guess that how it is with a lot of artists.

[atrainss]

that was totally F cool.

[Ritsel12727]

I think Sam Beam has one of the best male voices that I ever heard.

[punkyboy76]

The first song is "Stolen House (Die)"

[bfelic032]

the guy is amazing..whats the first song he plays?

[afromanrmb]

It's called 'Die' it's on the charity compilation 'Dark Was The Night'

[jonsloan09]

yeah the beard is cool i have one myself but, u guys need to be amazed by how hard it is to play boy with a coin and sing it at the same time!

[BurningTheMasses]

I like how everyone is commenting on his beard, and not his phenomenal talent.

[saosurvive126]

@BurningTheMasses Thats where his phenomenal talent comes from. hahaha. No, regardless of what he looks like he will always be my favorite singer/songwriter

[blakedawg76]

@BurningTheMasses It's a great beard. And he is amazing too. :-)

[ramrahc]

@BurningTheMasses his beard is a talent though

[Opotak]

his beard is an amazing talent

[satrsmndri]

@BurningTheMasses That's one phenomenal beard.

[AOAWHATSUP]

i want that beard!!!

[AySevinExEffOweBee]

oh wow,

his voice is so soothing,

this honestly made me cry how amazing sam is (:

[brownstain3000]

[johnwaynefantasy]

hey sam i want 2 "ghey marry u" bcuz im like super "ghey 4 u" and this song almost makes me cry. hope thats not creepy. i no ur married already just sayin i lyk u a lot. peace!

[Medium0Rare]

haha "we're on a fuckin elevator"

[TripNDazy]

i love his little laugh, right before he says who he is...

too cute!

[wernerslostblues]

he's an impressive guy even the simple fact that his wife is a midwife is amazing.

[wernerslostblues]

i love the way he called out how dumb the 3voor12 interviews are.

[joshkaraimusic]

The first song is called "Die"...it's on the Dark Was The Night compilation

[Shimmygirl5]

How awesome is he? Some guy asks him to play a song on a random elevator and he does it and sounds GREAT...Love it!

[kandm33]

Sam Beam is amazing.

[acountsandsuch]

Sam in Amsterdam? BEAST COMBO!

[jerekornder]

Scared, no. We're in an elevator.  It's retarded. Funny! Great songs.

[PepparPapper]

oh man, that beard rocks!

[nikezooms]

[thawkamac]

"Your not gonna talk?" thats hilarious

[thawkamac]

"Your not gonna talk?" he's so awesome

[muggle135]

he is such a wonderful musician.. listening to him makes me want to cry. i love sam beam.

[jimmyn54321]

i dont think he was enjoying that

[silkw0rm1982]

I agree....

[nirvomind]

towncenter !! good karma to you:D

[ThatSecondDude]

Sam's no Jesus, but he's my savior from bad music

[nirvomind]

[towncenter]

It's called, "Die."

[burtondevore]

im pretty sure its "Not afraid to Die"

[nikezooms]

[towncenter]

Well, I am certain it's called "Die."

[nnc07]

stolen houses (die)

[dc90enl]

love the mirror

[taylorsharneRAWR]

one of the greatest men alive.

[ramslak]

I thought jezus was dead :O

[jakeelindsay]

sam's far better than jesus.

[ramslak]

carrots

[ledzeppelinandthewho]

Most defenitely.

[al3x515]

i love me some beards and sweater vests...

[dudekc2]

die

[geusie]

sam beam FTW!

[zednotzee18]

Sam Beam is a God among men!

[jmaths117]

wow what a good song.

[catcrazy710]

what would you do if you happened to get on the elevator while sam beam was playing?

[TheresHellToPay]

shit my pants lol

[rents14]

how many emotions in a 1 minute song!

loved Dark Was The Night album

[robsteries]

second song : boy with a coin

[Draama20]

Great idea :D

[shapeslikedinosaurs]

This song is called "Stolen Houses (Die)" and it's on the upcoming "Dark Was the Night" compilation.

[getstuckindasky]

actually sam said it was called we are not afraid to die

[shapeslikedinosaurs]

well on the tracklisting for the compilation, it's called "stolen houses (die)"

[catcrazy710]

also: at 1:38, what a wonderful smile. you don't see it that often. also: 'we're in a fuckin' elevator'

[geusie]

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[TwiztidWoozle]

uhm, what is that first song, and why don't I have it??? I NEED it. NOW

[catcrazy710]

seriously! RECORD THIS SHIZ & SELL IT TO ME, SAM!

[123blue1]

amazing

its so cute, he looks so nervous (:

AWSOME!! XD

[YummyUkulele]

Lawlz. "Don't say we don't suffer for our art."

[byeaddison]

anyone who can do a song that well in an elevator is an amazing artist, no matter what music genres you like; he deserves some props.

[makaabeat]

does anybody know the title of the first song he sings?

[sjeg1987]

it's called 'not afraid to die', but it isn't released i'm pretty sure

[frappadappa]

Favorited.

[adgroupeditor]

Sam is baked.

[modestvermin995]

No, he's just southern.

[roblivious88]

"we're in a fuckin elevator ... scared? no, it just feels retarded"

haha, so funny

[Arkanix]

So Talented when you can make a song in an elevator sound like it was produced. Seriously, Ill always respect someone who can sing live, unrehearsed and in an elevator :)

Sam Beam forever!!!

[dmbkersh]

haha. it is rehearsed....hundreds of times....But yes they're great songs. Same with Iron & Wine.

[Arkanix]

Yeah your right it is probably rehearsed, but still he sounds amazing. I have watched some of the other Behind Close Doors sets and I think he did excellent. Some of the other ones they could not sing live. Although he is an folk performer generaly, so the accoustic apect is probably easier for him than say a rock band 4 on the floor type.

I&W is great.

[dfghslk]

i agree.

it IS like velvet lol.

:D

i love them

[dreaming2day]

Sam's voice is like velvet!

[greenplanet2400]

I like this a lot!

[SJlllMOFO]

wow i like this alot

[grappleroffdale]

does anyone know what album "not afraid to die" is on. i cant seem to find it anywhere

[ZBroder]

it's not on any album. he made it up in an airport, never recorded it

[fuckyoucar]

Sam: What do you wanna hear? We're in a fuckin elevator.

Elevator dude: Are you scared?

Sam: Scared? No, it just feels retarded.

Haha this guy's so calm, me92me92 said it all, I just wanna sit down and have some beers with this guy.

[KismetDividan]

My favorite to this day is Boy With a Coin!
