Beautiful version of this song. Personally i prefer this one to the "opera" version. @incontexttv Any ideas what the piece of music between 0:01 and 0:25 is? Thats also really good!
I prefer this version to the album version by far. Saw him play it at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in 2008 and could hardly contain my tears.
How does one man live with so much passion? I am overwhelmed every time I hear his voice and in this case two voices. Hi, my name is Tanya and I am addicted to Sam Beam :D
At times when I think the world has gone to hell, there is no good in the world, and everything that once was cherished has been taken by vapid commercial materialism, I hear something like this, and it brings me back
i had that exact thought while listening to Around the Well for the first time last week. A well needed reminder that true beauty still exists in this ugly world.
I absolutely love it when the trumpet comes in at the end. This song builds, and is CONSTRUCTED, which is such a rarity these days. In fact, both Iron & Wine's and Calexico's songs build to a wonderful apex, which is, of course, why they are gorgeous and timeless, in my opinion. Absolute beauty.
no need to mention that calexico and sam beam are awesome, but i really like the camera movement in this video... it makes the whole experience even more special. would love to hear the other recorded songs!
That is the value of radio. That is music for different people. You are looking in the wrong place if you are looking there. This stuff is out there and can be found. Best wishes to you and everyone here, this music is for people like us.
@willsing4shelter Ugg I hear ya, it's sickning, it's what's happened to the world, lost it's soul somehow, we need to all try to re-connect or we are surely doomed.
@willsing4shelter The industry is turned upside down. The big record labels are dead or dying and because of that they can't keep music like this from being made. It is there for the finding and we have found this. Beautiful.
What is the name of the string instrument used in the background of the majority of sam beam's songs? The one that is shown being plucked and controlled by a metal (what looks like) ball
There are 4 more songs we shot. All sitting there waiting to be edited together. It drives me crazy too, but there just hasn't been any time to get to it.
@MGSIke The footage is owned by the Austin PBS station. If I had it in my personal possession, I would certainly love nothing more than to put it together. I'm very sorry. maybe a miracle will happen and the tapes will fall off of a truck and I'll happen to find them and post them anonymously one day. I've crewed many great shows from Depeche Mode to Willie Nelson to Bowie... and I'd say the feeling in the room while recording this was among the 3 or 4 most magical. Hair-raising wonderful.
@incontexttv This is an awesome recording/video of two excellent artists. But can you tell me what the piece of music is between 0:01 and 0:25? Sounds good as well! Thanks. Would also love to hear the other four songs that were recorded during this session.
@deejayw I'm so happy you like it. It's by myself and a friend from high school. He's playing the cello. Me on guitar. It's to a soundtrack for my indie feature called 'The Incurable.' At the moment I'm playing guitar on a project for an artist named Chrysta Bell. We're putting together a live show of her music with David Lynch. Parts of 'Incurable' music may show up in the live set. We'll see.
This song almost makes me cry everytime I hear it. It reminds me of a love lost... One more kiss tonight from some tall stable girl....
