my favourite bit is between 0:00 and 7:22. (check out my channel for an incredible cover of this song by Jack Palmer.)

[elliottoberst]

I hate this because im gay and liam

[fuzzbuzz8778]

I hate when people cheer after he says "and fuck the man" because its harder to hear my favorite lyrics of the song "tell my mother not to worry".

[Concretshky]

I remember the first time I herad this. It was at a I&W concert i Stockholm, and I hadn't heard it before. It was the second song of the concert, and it was 100 % quiet in the hall, before the explosion of applause afterwards. It was a haunting moment, a certain atmosphere that was undescribealbe. Fucking poetry.

[jmInDreams]

beautiful

[StephenDefinition]

I've got all of his albums and they are beyond description but listening to him live...its just magical.

[graceland32]

I don't know why, but I love how the filmer kind of gasps at 4:14. It might be something completely different, but I thought at first that he was reacting the song and the beauty of the words,. Either way, it makes me shiver..like it amplifies the affect of the song for me.

[culhandluk]

Silence exists between the notes, thats what creates music - The silence, enjoy the silence, without it, music just runs together and is a jumbled mess

[jimmykellar]

what the hell are you talking about?

[mattypeters4]

I think its funny when people cheer for that and I have no problem with those who do...I just wish they didn't because it makes it hard to hear when he says "tell my mother not to worry" which is definitely my favorite line!

[doorman422]

messiah was a trip. i was at this concert. when he said fuck the man ppl cheered cuz it was so edgy HAHA

[ciarawesome]

I love everything about this, my breath is in this...

[blackelk1206]

It's heavenly, isn't it love? "Someone told me that God was in the space between the notes of this song" So true...

[kebeen77]

this reminds me a bit of dick gaughan's version of "song for ireland" maybe i'm just dreaming though

[saosurvive126]

You know, it kinda does a little...

[disconnecktie11]

this song gives me shivers almost every time

[Volt55555]

I saw Iron and Wine in Richmond a few weeks ago and a girl fainted during the show. He opened with this song, that's probably why. Haha.

[luhario]

in nebraska?

[Volt5555]

Virginia. I drove down from Maryland to see the show.

[blackelk1206]

Haha, I was at that show

"It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt"

That was an amazing concert...

[AngelicVice]

Someone told me that God was in the space between the notes of this song. I can see what she meant.

[wonderlustqueen]

I like how throughout the song, you hear people sniffling in the background. That's what this song does to me.

[123skard123]

@wonderlustqueen They could have a cold... But yeah, it does have that effect.

[archwizard822]

this man is nothing short of one of the most amazing singer song writers ever.

[diabloman91]

He's amazing, and now i want a kick ass beard like that.

[chipdevourer]

I want to erupt in applause after hearing this.

[NateMcMurph]

5:30, is heavenly

[raoultodally]

Sam Beam is a golden god.

Tears. That is all. Tears.

[kylesyl2]

i love this man

[Ahithophella]

The other video is better quality--it looks official or something--but I kinda like listening from within the bawling crowd. It feels more...immediate.

[JonathanLundell]

A masterpiece. But hey, is the cameraman crying? =) cute ^^

[boomjch]

RYAN DUNN + JESSE RYAN = IRON AND WINE

[chipdevourer]

uh. + a million times their 'talent'

[tinkkiou]

I think I might explode from his amazingness if I ever was so blessed to see him in person. <3 <3 <3 x a million

[shawnruby]

the other video is better.

[hehetube]

i remember when i was a kid.. i was crying when i heard this song! makes me remind of anne :((

[hehetube]

amazing!

[limewire410]

omg... The most beautiful song i ever heard xD... so sad T_T...

[nimbunimbu]

my God, this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. My eyes always water when I hear it.

[NickStalin1212]

... I used to think this song was beautiful, and just that. Now I'm listening to it more and more and seeing just how.. honestly, divine, this man is.

[thescarlets78]

My ex-boyfriend (who was my ex-boyfriend at the time) put this song on repeat as we laid together to fall asleep and he sang it quietly in my ear. Ugh I love this song but hearing it puts me in such misery.

[Thorreth]

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

[contempt2600]

he was really risking is with falsetto, i didnt really care for that.... but the rest is amazing

[PerrinAybara3]

Sam is the greatest singer songwriter to ever come out of the South. I cant wait to tell my daughter about him when she grows up. So we listen to him together and let here know what real music is. I cant help but cry everytime i here this.

[chipdevourer]

is the video taper crying?

[contempt2600]

he has every right to, sam beam is beautiful

[kateamericana]

when was he at messiah??? i missed this??????

[spenpee]

this is a great video

thanks for putting it up!

[diuladybug]

"please, remember me, my misery and how it lost me all I wanted".... divine music :)

[stockman214]

gives me the chills each time i watch it....

[Muthatrucka46]

hahaha seven and a half minute song, my arm would've started getting tired too

[tenderloingutter]

And the pearly gates had such eloquent graffiti like, we'll meet again, and fuck the man, tell my mother not to worry

beautiful

[diggy75]

sah-weet

[zetasu]

lo mas hermoso es que en lo subjetivo se ajusta a tu contexto...places..graffiti ...history..lost and found

[rocklobster910]

love this dude.

[BadlyDrawn7]

He said "fuck"! Let's cheer!

Christ.

Great song and awesome sound quality, by the bye.

[stockman214]

finally a FULL live version of this masterpiece. Sam Beam is one of God's true gifts to this world. Thank you very much for posting.

[willw444]

best song writer of our generation

[stockman214]

truly truly masterful. he's a gift to our generation from God above.

[bigbobmegadeth]

That falsetto was pretty sweet. I envy you for being there. Thank you for sharing this.

[deucescorner]

Simply Amazing

[peanut4656]
