this is total escapism. the world is not full of valleys and whiskey rivers anymore. there are no more rural values. instead we have mcdonalds and bestiality porn. if you dislike this, fight it, don't try to escape it.
i played this song when i was in inpatient treatment at hospital during music group and it moved everyone to tears. it still moves me to tears. it really describes so much about life.
For anyone searching for this song, it is available to download free at Amazon. You can get the song by itself or download the SubPop Sampler Album "23 This Year" (which is also free and I highly recommend grabbing it).
i could listen to this song all day and not get sick of it. In fact that is what i have been doing all day! :) love this song and i could also see this in a movie.
It gives me chills to hear real music. When you can feel the genuine nature coming though the music, how can you doubt their importance? A great balance of the right mood, simplicity and meaning.
@ukelivia Is that a bad thing? You make it seem like I mean bad to everyone. Hehe, it's okay if I'm a hipster with my music, I love cherishing things that matter to me and music is one of them. I also am not into Mainstream music, it's too repetitive and "pop-like".
DON'T READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS YOU WILL BE KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DON'T POST THIS TO AT LEAST THREE VIDEOS OR YOU WILL DIE WITHIN TWO DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READING THIS DON'T STOP THIS IS SO SCARY PUT THIS ON AT LEAST FIVE VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVER NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN THE BIG LETTERS THIS IS SO SCARE CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS
Saw you guys in Des Moines,IA on Thursday. We were lucky enough to be right up front! Amazing!! My love and I were completely blown away. Memorial night. Thank you so much for the evening and memories.
I was there too! XD for my birthday. They were great! So was Iron and Wine. I bought one of The Head and the Heart t-shirts and they all signed it for me. I love music like this..
if this is country, then I'm offically a country fan. Going to their show this Saturday (4/30/11) in Seattle @ the Moore theater! Tickets still available. Bring your cowboy hat.

@royconway I disagree, you can't really say this is the way a whole genre should be. Country music is very varied, and although this is good you can't say all of it should be like this :)
