Iron and Wine - Boy With a Coin (Live)

[sprite3517]

This makes me want to cry and fly a ticket to see the next show :o

[yourdeadmother]

ok this song is brilliant. but its just gay if you think the guitars in this song is hard.

[Bananapielord]

@yourdeadmother It's pretty difficult to play AND sing this, bud ;)

[username0727]

um come to chicago please I wanna see you in 2012 along with a few others on my to see list

[emilyownsarat]

What an amazing musician. He is one man and he is creating something so beautiful. It makes my heart melt.

[algerath]

The guitarplaying on this song is hard. Playing it whilst singing is virtually impossible.

The beard's proof: Sam Beam is God.

[capishx]

love this song, the guitarplaying is fucking awesome!

[JumpJennyJumpp]

his beard is biblical

[DanielSiwekMusic]

Sam Beam is such an inspiration for me!

[machdiehl]

That's a beard.

[sackalackaa]

great guitar in this song

[em1lyz2]

he totally owns that stage, he's brilliant

[christoballlller]

i find myself tapping the beat in the beginning :)

[AndrewlovesMUSE]

i wish i had a beard like that.

[econtadini]

I can't See His MOUTH

[JohnnyRocketPants1]

I think he's much better to listen to live. However, the clapping on the album version just perfected this song for me. But still, a great performance.

[joshcaprai]

He changed the lyrics on the third verse, or maybe he messed up

[twilightchik11]

@joshcaprai no, they were right.

[ftwmiller]

does this mean zach galifinakis won't be in the next hangover movie?

[ericsbuds]

im not saying i wouldnt listen if he didnt have the beard, but im so glad he does

[ericsbuds]

great sounds

[ElBeoBob]

@samuelshepard He is harmonizing with himself

[KatarzynaP88]

My favourite man in the world. He seems so gentle, and kind hearted. The kind of person you'd never forget if you met him.

I love you!

[birdmanblues34]

R.I.P Ryan Dunn

Wait..

[Tha1calledjoe]

I didn't know Jesus was a musician!

[justmissj]

<3Thumbs up if you hit the replay more then once on this song <3

[ErixReeze]

That Galafanakis is such a talent

[samuelshepard]

is there someone harmonizing with him or is that just my imagination???

[dougiedeathx]

that guitar has the voice of an angel and his voice is just tunes soo well

[BeanerOverTheBorder]

dear God/Buddha/Allah/"insert being of choice" this is like the idk how many time now that I've found Iron and Wine video with less than 10 dislikes. I'm sorry but HOLY HELL OF SATAN PRAISING GOD that's just not supposed to happen on youtube. This is supposed to be a place of haters and trolls and people that talk about pop stuff that wont matter in 5yrs. I'm glad I found this after the rapture announcement or I might have believed it lol

[shalkamere]

Bonnaroo cant get here soon enough 

[highlandsanlowlands7]

This song is beautiful in a sad sort of way

[Alqadim]

Burn me if you want, but this song gets sooooooo much worse and boring without the studio arrangements.

[YETIVIDS]

@Alqadim i will not burn you, i will politely disagree :)

[disseminary]

@Alqadim hah, yeah, even you know that youre dumb and wrong

[caramelsquid]

AMAZING.

[lax80684]

holds up live. he's got the stuff. very impressed.

[SketchesofCasper]

2:28 gives me chills every time.

[stellyyyyy]

when did they ruin the quality. booo.

[TheOldSpirit]

With great facial hair comes great responsibility, and he has delivered.

[krantzer]

@TheOldSpirit I had to scramble to get my username and password just so I could give this a thumbs up!

[TheOldSpirit]

@krantzer yaay =D

[henryflow52]

@TheOldSpirit Youre brilliant dude!!! That was the funniest comment I've read yet!!

[Astraphobic]

Guitar snobs get off this video.. let us normal people fucking enjoy this majestic piece of music. Thanks.

[HybridFalcon]

Was going to see him tomorrow, but someone took my ticket. :/ That ruined my vacation off..

[cvallet2]

what an epic beard

[Gremlin295]

200:1 like / dislike ratio - Highest rated music video i've ever seen and after hearing that its WELL deserved.

[ramsteina]

just because he's not using many chords doesn't mean the song isn't complicated or hard, you can integrate tons of picking patterns on simple chords that are both rather difficult and great sounding. i think the fact that he uses something like two chords should be a testament to how good of a musician he is....two chords is all he needs to make a beautiful sounding song...not everyone can do that

[beccamck26]

who the hell would dislike this?

[SuperNoobTroll]

so the hangover or due date? which one showcases this guys talent more?

[rockerguyex]

Dude this guy I jam with looks like him but with red hair.

[ballsofsteel547]

Looks EXACTLY like my geometry teacher from freshman year

[beautyxobsessedxo7]

This is kind of the anthem to my life.

[TheCompleteGuitarist]

I noticed he drinks wine on stage. Does he also eat Iron?

[revolie]

@TheCompleteGuitarist

No,he is Iron :))

[wafflesandbeer]

@revolie I thought the beard was the iron. I must have been mistaken.

[BeanerOverTheBorder]

@TheCompleteGuitarist Hey gotta have your iron to be healthy right

[die22Trying]

@TheCompleteGuitarist ....yes, when he eats spinach

[econtadini]

@TheCompleteGuitarist iron > Steel > strings > guitar...

[SteveTheWonderLlama]

@econtadini Actually brass or nickel.

[awheelhead]

@TheCompleteGuitarist he plucks the iron

[sSimeoon]

@TheCompleteGuitarist Yep. I'm pretty sure it's magnetized his beard too. I saw a paper clip dangling from one of his golden facial Jesus lochs once.

[jakem4444]

@TheCompleteGuitarist his badass beard says yes lol



[urxsoxluvrlyx3]

Wow this is so much better than the actual recording

[slashergnr482]

thats just retarted how good this is. FUCKING. SILLY.

[spitre1000]

who cares if Jesus was real or not or if this guy looks like him? The point is the music's amazing.

[japxican91]

Man, that crowd sucked. I woulda been singing along at least.

[pseudogenesis]

@japxican91 Really, the only polite thing to do would be to remain in awestruck silence. Singing along disturbs the artist's true vision of the song. I hate when people clap their hands or try to sing and yell and make a fuss during a live performance. If the artist wants that, he'll say so! =3

[japxican91]

@pseudogenesis

But it's such a beautiful song D:

I wouldn't be able to just sit quietly lol

[pseudogenesis]

@japxican91 :3

[TrevRaw]

Does he have a sip of wine at the end? Gosh, i'm a fan already.

[cjhoubre]

This isn't even music anymore. This is art, in its purest most absolute form.

[YourFurnace]

@cjhoubre music is not art?

[kikyou322]

@YourFurnace It is an art, because through it, it expresses something..."Art is the product or process of deliberately arranging items (often with symbolic significance) in a way that influences and affects one or more of the senses, emotions, and intellect. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, photography, sculpture, and paintings." as Wikipedia says ^_^

[YourFurnace]

@kikyou322 Of course it is an art (notice the ? mark in my original comment) I was responding to a comment (which I don't see anymore) which said that this performance wasn't music because it was so good it was art, as if music weren't art. I was Sam B at the folk festival and he transported the whole audience completely to another world, absolutely amazing.

[kikyou322]

@YourFurnace Sorry....my apologies =(...

[mielkeway8]

Chances are very very slim that Jesus, if he truly existed, was blonde, white, and had blue eyes.

He lived in the Middle East, for crying out loud!

That being said, Sam Beam is just amazing. Enough said

[myquest666420]

@mielkeway8 this is true. but if jesus came back, i think he'd model his own look after Sam Beam. probably voice and guitar picking, too.

[aemerson0425]

@mielkeway8......jesus wasn't real in the first place, so who gives a shit?

[bandedcat10]

@aemerson0425 Actually, Jesus WAS a real person. What may or may not be real are the "miracles" he performed. Inb4Christianfag.

[benandreas369]

Sad to find out that Subpop is owned by WMG... there goes all the independent labels letting artists create the music THEY want to create!

[777dasar]

as much as i like this guy i wish people would quit making the jesus comparions,don't you realize the greater number of present day cristens hate guys that look like this

[DrummerLee978]

@777dasar Also.. jesus was black.

[asorrowedsoul]

@DrummerLee978 Ummmmm?!?!..... Jesus was a Jew. Which most likely meant that he had very dark, tanned skin.... Not black OR white...

[PivotAmeture08]

@asorrowedsoul fuck off this is beautiful music

[kwalker5150]

amazing song, amazing guitar.

[loverfromalaska]

haha :D im cristian and he is so similar to the images of Jesus in my head..

Maybe Jesus is in heaven waiting for us with a guitar too !!! :D

[nagourd]

hes an amazing guitar player!!!!

[Snodgers3rdclass]

he drank wine at the end :p

[eternal8pcurr]

@Snodgers3rdclass and he spiked it with Iron

[liverpoolfcfan08]

I can't believe how beautiful his voice is. Absolutely fantastic. Iron and wine are amazing, and he is really really good live!

[1niloc3]

@liverpoolfcfan08 so true. considering that not many artistes sound good live, his voice is amazing. i think his cd's would make great gifts.

[captownsoldier]

i like this version way better than the real version.

[beautiful0soul]

@captownsoldier awww you don't like the clapping?

[zigglezworth]

when I saw this guy in Maryland a couple years ago, he kept forgetting all of his lyrics. I mean, he stopped 3 different times in one song alone...lol great talent, but be a professional, please. i want my fucking money'z worth bubba! phenomenal singer/songwriter. just to much of a patchouli stank pothead I guess to remember his own songs, butchering a golden opportunity to sing in front of so many people. When he's on, he's on, but don't be so sloppy when there's 5,000 people watching u brah

[ohdangemma]

@zigglezworth how about you get up there in front of 5,000 people and play the guitar by yourself and remember about 15 songs.

kthanks.

[1niloc3]

@zigglezworth i am sure all performers have their moments. wait, are they human as well???!!!

[Flintagin21]

i really think this is the best song in the world and he is great live

[jeePittyRock]

Fodastico......Música de qualidade

[rednoseroxy]

Funny how so many dipshits relate long hair and a beard to that asshole Jesus.

[Cowzer09]

@rednoseroxy what the fuck man? Sure people may make lame jokes at others exspense, But jesus was no ass hole,

[ryangiesbers]

@rednoseroxy HAHAHAHAHAHAHA



[Jessannah]

@rednoseroxy You're my hero. "that asshole Jesus" hahaha. People got mad about it too. GG

[blackpleg28]

Extremely repetetive, but somehow kept me entertained???? Wtf?! I hate repetetive music, how is this possible?!?!

[Bayview05]

@blackpleg28 sam beam is an amazing songwriter, that's why

[androo4salez]

@blackpleg28 Repetition can be good. It depends on whats being repeated. Sam Beam does repetition right. It's mesmerizing.

[capel11111]

@blackpleg28 what are you saying? every song has a repeated refrain.

[blackpleg28]

@capel11111 No not at all, just some music tends to be more repetetive and I hate that, but Sam Beam just has something about his music, that not only keeps me entertained, but I also enjoy it.

[pigeonwing9172]

whats to dislike about this video lol? i laugh at the idiots who "for the sake of it" pressed the dislike button.

[natman1945]

Magic Man,long may you shine.

[Moolah47]

indie jesus at best

[thedoctorssimple]

4 people that can kiss my ass

[KFCBUCKETS]

this man sure does know how to invoke tears

[killerkandi133]

i know its only 4, but who the hell could dislike this song?

(i love how hes drinking wine)

[killerkandi133]

i know its only 4, but who the hell could dislike this song?

[garrethdavis]

this man is incredible.

[yozolio]

Wow.



[ladydance41]

pure talent. amazing!!

[TamerahSkies]

If I never get to see him live I will consider my life a colossal waste.

[SuperNoobTroll]

@TamerahSkies i saw this 1 time it was pretty boring, so i guess ur not missing much

[finalhaven36]

@TamerahSkies come to chicago :) hes playing a free concert june 6th ^^ your life will no longer be a waste :D

[beautyxobsessedxo7]

@TamerahSkies samee <3

[bschilling6]

@TamerahSkies I saw him on Friday, it was amazing,

[Hello3THAN]

My Absolute favorite

[ZeppelinFromtheLake]

it's not Iron & Wine's Sam Beam...Sam Beam is Iron & Wine, it's his stage name

[newbornpony]

4 people are Justin Bieber fans.

[DerrickSchmidt7]

Iron & Wine will create world peace with music

[lbjgrad]

guess were he resides now?!?!?! in austin texas, my home town! awsome rite

[davegrohlfan12]

Does anybody else notice him mess up at 2:38? He was supposed to repeat that A minor again. Hah. Not bashing on Sam in any way though, I am a HUGE fan. :)

[seagullofsongs]

@davegrohlfan12 It could be a problem with the video. Sam is shown from a different angle at that moment.

[tiololo69]

this live version is better than the "dancing" video...much better...

[killerkandi133]

i love than he's sipping wine:)



[Dkolps]

who knew jesus was such an awesome guitar player?

[stilt37]

@Dkolps this is exactly what jesus would sound like if he did in fact play guitar and sing

[steelerfnjim88]

@Dkolps Damn straight

[jippzmcghee]

@Dkolps LOL Sam Beam really is folk Jesus! ^_^

[travis8301]

@jippzmcghee no. he IS Jesus. o shit. im goin ta hell.

[giwrgosYR]

@Dkolps i wouldnt say so .. the whole song is a C cord .. thats chlids play

[llamamusicman]

@giwrgosYR it isn't childs play. it isnt just a C chord you numpty! theres also an E minor that you could of heard in the bass line if you werent too busy just looking at his hands and seeing that hes staying in the C major position.

[giwrgosYR]

@llamamusicman as i said .. just a C chord .. fyi i didnt have to look at his fingers

[llamamusicman]

@giwrgosYR no it isn't just a basic c chord. you clearly think you're some kind of expert but that still doesn't give any the right that something is child's play! especially if you don't truly understand something. and the dude above saying that using only two chords to write an amazing song is a big thing is seriously right!!! writing a song with just two chords is truly impressive and he can do it (i suspect giwrgosyr can't and feels he must troll about to make him/her feel better)

[giwrgosYR]

@llamamusicman dont missunderstand me , i like this song , i like its simplicity i dont know what you find so complex about it that is all , i learnt it in 5-10 minutes on the guitar and no im not an expert i dont know jack about theory just the very very basics so say whatever who cares , it is a good simple easy song ..

[llamamusicman]

@giwrgosYR oh now youre full of appraisal! i like how you measure the degree of complexity in something by how quick you learned it on the guitar! I learned sweet child of mine - guns n roses in 10 'idiot minutes' it must be simple!! or Pachelbel's Canon!! and YES i will say whatever cos i don't go about saying something simple just cos i cottoned on to how to play in a few minutes!!

[giwrgosYR]

@llamamusicman oh who's trolling now .. you said he was an awesome guitar player i said he doesnt have to be its an easy song thats all .. youre so full of yourself guitar hero , give it a rest

[llamamusicman]

@giwrgosYR you no what, you're an idiot. dont try and flip this on to someone else because im not the one saying im a guitar hero! you said "oh i learned it in 5 minutes!! im awesome and this song is SOOOO simple!!" get a girlfriend douche. I wont be answering to any more of these stupid comments of yours.....dick

[giwrgosYR]

@llamamusicman nice really mature of you .. what r u like 5 ? i said this song is easy and you got so offended ? get a girlfriend you said ? really ? thats your answer ? lol you are so damaged little dude

[j815wilkinson]

@giwrgosYR It comes back to the c chord, yeah. But he's also sliding with a sixth harmony, alternating the Em, walking the Am into the bassline in the chorus, trilling, playing fingerstyle, and singing. Good guitar player.

[elewewhy]

@giwrgosYR I look forward to your album of much more complicated and great songs. Let me know where to find it.

[gsucka]

I'd stroke that sexy beard, yes I would, and I'm a straight man, yes I am, and he could serenade me anyday, yes he could.

[PSFDeadcold]

@gsucka agreed.

[AlexanderHamilton201]

@gsucka I would stroke that sexy beard too, and look at those fit legs and bulging biceps...I'm straight too btw....I just think it's so sexy for a woman to think it's so sexy for a man to think another man is so sexy and i'm hoping that a woman reads this and thinks its sexy and then I will too.

[Slonceism]

Amazing! I can't stop playing this song!

[Uzonamo]

In the music video i thought his voiced was autotuned to sound like that (which it probably was) but his vioce is freakin amazing.

[allybellas]

Is...is he drinking wine?

Is the guy from Iron and Wine drinking WINE?!

[Hesthrim]

@allybellas

The "iron" is indicative of the guitar strings (even though they're steel now).

[jake6346]

@Hesthrim I don't think guitar strings were ever made of iron. Nice try though.

[pseudogenesis]

@Hesthrim The whole title of his stage name "Iron and Wine" was taken from a dietary supplement called "Beef Iron and Wine" he found while working on a film.

[Hesthrim]

@pseudogenesis Actually? That's pretty random. Awesome, but random.

[pseudogenesis]

@Hesthrim Much like Sam Beam. Interesting and not very well known. =P

[CorBinKaY76]

Finishes his song, Then takes a sip of Wine. Awesome

[pseudogenesis]

I had no idea Jesus could sing so well...

[kissmequick07]

I love this song. It's amazing how it can still be as powerful with just him playing solo. Look at how quiet the audience is!

[CailoFilms]

how could anyone dislike this?

[yobster2]

such beautiful music

[denisio94]

he is stunning!

[AndyJK45]

Love this guy...lolz I'm on my dads account, dont worry ^.^

He's amazing, he doesn't need his voice to be cooked...

copyryan, I agree with you, his voice puts them under a spell O.o

[cleancutamerican]

This man is blessed. God has given him a beautiful gift.

[acebrawler73]

@cleancutamerican true. But don't let that discount the work he has obviously put into his craft. Not only is he talented but also very skilled.

[larvenzful]

hahahaa he sips the wine at the end classic and classy

[Janzah]

this looks like it's from the 70's. awesome!

[Volkkanik]

Please god let him stay with us for as long as possible,

You already took Nujabes(Jun Seba) From us :c

[RealDefKilla]

AWESOME!!!!!!
