Cinder and Smoke

[MrKillAllTheLawyers]

I saw in your info that when you uploaded this you mentioned the compression caused the quality to suffer. Just thought with higher Res there would be less compression necessary on an upload. I really dig this video either way. Great job! Thanks for sharing

[MrKillAllTheLawyers]

Is it possible to upload a higher resolution copy now that you can upload for 1080p I believe? That would be sweet indeed!

[issouldoubt]

@MrKillAllTheLawyers I don't know that 1940's camera footage would benefit much from 1080p. I could be wrong though

[MrKillAllTheLawyers]

Great vintage footage. Nicely put together and very thoughtful. Was that the invention of break dance I witnessed? Not sure exactly what the animated images were from? Very cool though. This video definately enhances the quality of a song that didn't need anything. Good work my friend.

Thank you both

[aliceayers007]

I love watching these old clips and imagining what life was like before the world was in color. Been coming back to this video for years. Thanks for making it.

[llinaa90]

wow this song is so beautiful <3

[RainbowPaint]

This song is beautiful just like the others. Also the scene chosen to start the video out seemed perfect.

[daydrinker]

give me your hand

[nayners]

This is really wonderful. Excellent job!

[clutchcrippler]

I jam this song ALL THE TIME on my guitar. along with about 6 other of his songs. and I'm still learning a bunch of stuff! best music ever...

[daydrinker]

an amazing song, i dont understand how it doesnt get more recognition.

[benryan86]

nice video.. i wouldnt normally comment but i can tell your a good editor

[bgkob]

i wouldn't normally respond to someone on youtube, but i can tell you are a nymph.

[TheEternalSunrise]

I wouldn't normally respond to a response but I can tell that your hungry for attention. your a real witty jokester huh? u think ur real koy huh? Ur a real character y know that..

[boy82killer]

i think this song is based on the chicago fire! i mean... just listen 2 the lyrics!

[JohnLocke31]

cinder and smoke is the jump-off

[numenal22]

I'd love to know what/when the footage of the guys with the bandanas where one is doing what looks like b-boying. Please tell me!

[kmich101]

@numenal22 aww I really don't know, I found that clip soo long ago... It's my favorite part though :)

[francesglass87]

This video made me think of those old old pictures in my grandparents' photo album enriched by their comments on how they lived in the early 1900s. They also would like your work! :)

(...and at last, but not least, I LOVE this song!!)

[NarinaNirvana]

God, I just keep searching on youtube for more and more songs from this guy. I can't stop. Everything else that I have to do just seems meaningless. This is what i love, this is what I search for all the time. This is music, this is perfection. I feel like a better person listening to it. It makes me cry and smile, and scream and jump, and makes me sad.. It's just... I cannot explain. I'm afraid that, as much as it sounds old and lame, there are really no words to describe this music.

[katakotia]

this is exactly how I felt when I discovered Iron & Wine in September. It's so much of an emotional swing throughout his songs, not that they differentiate much but because they evoke so much passion for the listening experience..really quite a wonderful artist.

[amriemer]

@katakotia , the rabbit hole only goes deeper when start to discover iron and wine lyrically

[schattenkind511]

love it..

[chaiapopaia]

Hmm...I think I like the video to this song. A black and white video seems to fit.

[LandieComments]

I just found this guy today. D:

Where has he been the last few years of my life? D<

[CordyBear1]

Theres one more song by Samuel that I REALLY like, but I cant seem to find the name of it. I know it had a strong drum beat at the beginning, but I cant find it.

[brknwingangl737]

That's probably "Woman King"- try checking that out :)

[CordyBear1]

Thanks!! Thats it!!

[ehhhhhhhhhh]

I want to hang out with Sam Beam.

[nexoudin]

[Jshuad]

this songs's a cold peice

[Minkey6]

heartbreakingly sad

[xdaniislaughterx]

Amazing~

[travislasanimas]

Okay, the little guy dancing at the beginning. That was great. Thanks for the video.

[Bigslick189]

the meaning of the entire song is in those 3 lines below.

epic stuff

[EtwilightJ]

You'll ask me to pray for rain

With ash in your mouth

You'll ask it to burn again

[ToSlatedaleWeGo]

(:

Great stuff.

[daniOsOStellaryo]

love it:)

[Irishcolleen92]

This song is absolutely mesmerizing.

It's a lullaby:D

Iron and Wine is genius.

[norysues]

[CUADVbook]

[AScotchAndABlog]

wow, people were so much more classy dressing and looking than the douchebags running around now

[dlldll]

great video mate. keep at it.

[AmurgAprins]

amazing video and song

[ballsmcguilicuddy]

Inner relection anyone??? Touching the fabric of who we are. Depth...depth.

[dwissba]

Kind of where we are today in America....unemployment, war and greed.

[dwissba]

Well, not my choice. I voted against the bastard twice.

[dwissba]

Sad tune but a good look at history...

[kaitlinvollmer]

I like it! :-)

[mytube543210]

yep good work

[FrozenSkyline]

Good song to attain focus on work.

[InNominus]

I have no idea what gave you the notion to make a video for this song, nor will I ask. All I will say is this. This is quite possibly, one on of the most haunting things I have ever seen. BRAVO!!!

[NorthSouth89]

Absolutely beautiful. I love his voice, it always relaxes me. I actually just discovered iron and wine a couple of days ago, and I can't stop saying how amazing his music is.

[rootsm3]

love this...the ending gives me chills

[rickzters]

where has the time gone... cool video!

[rpawar2]

one of my ten favorite songs of all time. no hesitation in saying that.

[54spiritedwill54]

great video! You rock!

[fodorzsuzsi]

Great work indeed!!! Yeah, this melancholic mood spiced with some crazy moments... our crazy world...

Really well done!!!

[Xxsoon2bxX]

fantastic video

this song and pix go perfect

[GDoatmeal]

how on earth did you find all this video? did you have to get permission for its use

[Nahfanmot]

I'm pretty sure most of the copyrights have run out after a small 100 years.

[Jahnka]

Fantastic - You need to contact Iron and Wine about distributing this with his next CD/DVD.

Who was that guy in the dark talking out the window?

I need a website to go and learn about all I was seeing.

[sahem62896]

Wow... nice job!

[lordstobbo]

really, really nice work.

[iima]

I really like this...the mood of the vid and the song go together well....

[FabriceDucret]

Good job, it's pretty neat to me and the song is really beautiful

[hizzzey]

i like this song too

[hybserge]

I like the song and it's good video. I never thought of this ... but when you listen to the song it makes sense.

[catfishred]

Lovely weaving in of Depression era - soft, sweet naivety juxtaposed against harder times. Beautiful tunes - beautifully sad.

[Melchisadec]

really well done

[sammyboy34]

the music goes well with the feel of the video. good job

[morningjane]

great video! You rock!

[BobLogan]
