Iron & Wine - The Trapeze Swinger

[BlakeMasonful]

@hehfilms oh, He prefers Zune? interesting.

[carbenham]

@hehfilms shut up.

[chamo2001]

flawless sound and lyrics, very emotive and seductive, music as motivation...

[synyztahkillah09]

The absolute sadness, calmness, happiness and finally elation is a fantastic journey I want to live again and again.

[doctord185]

Pure Masterpiece....

[beslyintryingtodefy]

18 people couldn't handle that feeling of pure bliss when this song went through them as if God himself blew new life into them. flawless.

[caitlinwilso]

18 people hate their lives.

[MGSIke]

And every time I listen to this, I tear up.

[ziper2400]

Crimen Sollicitationis

[sally180405]

favourite song for life!!

[clash44]

this was the first song of his I heard - 4 or 5 years later... and I still get chills and lose my breath when i hear it- I just don't quite know what to do with myself.

[KloEviEngP]

loveee this songgg!!!

[katieseitter]

definitely on my list of favorite songs ever. i'm not a HUGE iron and wine fan, but this song is just so good...

[katieseitter]

definitely on my list of favorite songs ever.

[SingerTina]

This song is beautiful

[rhcp4evar]

This was so much better live when I had first ever heard the song. I don't think I like the original.

As for the people who say this is the best he's done, that's bull feces. But feel free to choose from Naked As We Came, Each Coming Night, or Jezebel.

[CallMeCor]

I sang this to my girlfriend the other day and she literally cried.

[Ajdizzle4rizzle]

haters gonna hate... I doubt you know the entire song and sang it to her, but props if you do lol

[punkfilipina88]

Why does

love hurt so bad?

[hazmat151]

what's with all the noobs saying this is the best song they've ever heard? did you just discover iron & wine yesterday or something? naked as we came is still a lot better.

[veiledinferno]

@hazmat151 What's with all the noobs having their own opinions? Who does that, right?

[em09j]

The second verse stops me in my tracks...everytime.

[CastAThinShadow]

this is definitely one of the best songs ive ever heard. it catches my emotions so quickly

[ddk8006172002]

No matter what I seem to be doing, this song always gets my attention. It feels like all the important parts of my life are being relived in a few moments.

[littlerunaway09]

what is it about?

[toxiclittlewhiteboys]

i love this song its so beautiful

[bbrake]

well, now I want to see this movie, because it features at least one damn good song on its sound track.

[doctord185]

Brilliant! Just Brilliant!!

[ElizabethLMullins]

God has this song on his iPod

[BlueUlylisses]

Best song ever written..."who the hell can see forever"

[williamha]

this song reminds me of summer. so lovely. :)

[CharmCityDF]

This song is so beautiful.

[andyanyd]

Life is most beautiful when one is listening to this song. It is the musical equivalent of a sunset over the ocean.

[alexandriawa]

I want this song to just keep going. I guess nine minutes is a good compromise XD

[beaunaynay]

i love this song!! and the movie!

[ohnomrbrown]

I love listening to iron and wine when I'm riding a bicycle..... iron and wine on an ipod and a bicycle is the perfect combination.

[333bear333ify]

huhhh....

i've heard this song many times and just found out it's 10 minutes long...

never noticed it xD I still think it's too short =]

[rainst0rms]

Currently this song was played on my computer 114 times. Each time I've gotten chills from it.

[vpicket12]

I heard this song for the first time today and I cried. This song is simply too beautiful to not connect to!

[aphonemic]

this magic doesn't happen often. Enjoy it.

[Fyxd]

This song reminds me of someone I loved very much.

[s0alternativ3]

I want memories like this.

[drjackll420]

im with you on that 

[Chubzitrollable]

You can tell when a song is written from the heart.

It just grabs at you so.

This is one such song.

[peachypoo33]

god, this song is absolutely beautiful. reminds me of my ex.

this song is so meaningful.

[claruchaspida]

Hermosa, simplemente hermosa.

[takanuvathegreat]

i never want this song to end<3

[BigPaulEntertainment]

I'm a rap fan... but this man has made some beautiful songs and this is one of them...

[ClassicKalo]

Simply Beautiful.

[TheMistermuppet]

this is right up there with living la vida loca and ice ice baby standards.

[krabbman]

@TheMistermuppet what?!!

[Opoulosaki]

I think this song has been floating around for some time now ... like an eon or something similar. This song is an emotion in music that I cannot name ...like he pulled it out of the air and gave it a kiss

[sophieanne1984]

Great!

I love this song!

[MorningTheft888]

je t'aime !

[ANTIQCOOL]

Lovely song. People have said some of our music sounds like Iron & Wine, can't see it myself but I'm not complaining, He is very good :-) follow the link to Antiqcool and Judge for yourself.

[Nospherith]

i heard this was a song... they play it on M83 radio on pandora like a while ago

[dizzlar]

I absolutely love this song x

[AlishaChristineeee]

god i love this song. its like sex for my ears

[Giefan]

I just heard this song through the wall of my apartment. Very nice song. A good way to spend 10 minutes!

[theugene]

thats awesome.  i recall finding things like that. like money in a winter jacket? kind of

[Giefan]

@theugene I usually hear really bad (by my tastes anyway) country music. Yes. The analogy is sound!

[ColtonKazaam]

@Giefan I'd say its more indie with a southern flair, but to each their own. Never-the-less, its still an amazing song.

[allinsecret]

i've always loved this song

[slapntheface9198]

Love that bass line.

[HpTwilightJb]

im a spanish speaker.. and i wish to know an hispanic singer as good as sam bean is

[petercort42]

jose gonzalez.

[theugene]

ricky maritin

[funkinmonky]

sam beam. god's gift to the world.

[theugene]

great song.. check out my cover... its fast and folky... let me know what you think

[phunkroller]

This song is great, and will be played at my funeral.

[danwithoutyou]

How many albums does he have? Im having trouble finding any

[lyletuck]

LP's: The Creek Drank the Cradle, Our Endless Numbered Days, The Shepherd's Dog, Around the Well (b-sides), Norfolk (live), plus some decent EP's.

[Sedated11]

Hmm, the ones I own are 'Our Endless Numbered Days', 'Shepherd's Dog', and their EP titled 'The Sea and Rhythm.' None of which, unfortunately, include this song.

[ghostlodge]

why is his best song a B-side, I don't get that at all

[GENERICSCREENNAME777]

Well.. ehh, on I-tunes I believe that this is only an "Album Only Download" so you can't really buy it. I wouldn't really call it a B-side. Either way, it's a freaking amazing song. All you people have awesome taste. :D

[ghostlodge]

it's deffo on the unrealsed thing he put out, and obv was in that film but what a song wish he did more like it, Fever Dream is a crackin Iron And Wine track also

[akisgr8101]

i listen to this song whenever im tense i feel better after it :)

[jadielee09]

God I could listen to this song over and over..it's the epitome of amazing

[doeboy736]

this song makes me choked up every time i listen to it, this was my girlfriends song about me :/

[alecaization]

This is probably the most relaxing song ever...I really like this song..it makes me feel..me..

[hijbluerton28]

I really like this song. I find this song to be very emotional and powerful. It is one of few songs I can sit and listen to over and over again and not get sick of listening to. It also carries a significance with it ... it was one of the songs along with let me be myself (3 doors down) that helped to shape the person of whom I am today. I have discovered my self-worth and who I am and who I want to become. I would also consider this to be one of the best songs ever written.

[saispu]

i realy do prefer this version ,....i like the live one too but this one ....me donne la chair de poule!

[jamaisquejamais14]

I am d'accord avec toi :)

[emakne]

this is probably the most relaxing song ever. i can listen to it over and over and never get tired of it. the lyrics are so beautiful, and of course the guy's voice= amazing!

i love iron and wine.

[crankdatunowho]

this is just an incredible, beautiful song. i Love iron&wine, and i have to learn to play/sing every single one of their songs haha.

[dave1176]

This is quite possibly a contender for the best song ever written.

[NothingED]

@dave1176 agreed

[dannyjar100]

good call, i think it is.

[ProudToBeAGunner]

@dave1176

For sure it is!

[beerecan1227]

@dave1176 way up there on the list

[JiminyJ3W]

@dave1176

It's funny that you say that. This is the song for the soundtrack. The original is different and (arguably) not as good. Why is it funny? This 'better version' is cut in a way much different than how it was actually written.

I still watch this video 20 or 30 times a year when I need a friend and one is unavailable...

=)

[resi500]

but i think the live version is better.

I LOVE IRON&WINE

[DraftBeerNotMe]

Some planes depart, others never arrive.

[CumminsAddict]

I can't stand how good this song is.

[beta2w]

i'm an avid hip hop and rap connoisseur but i fell in love with this song after i saw the movie =) such great heights from iron & wine is also good.

[LkzChiC]

me tooo! i fell in love after the movie!

[Saltheigh]

Such Great Heights is originally from The Postal Service, but yes, Iron & Wine makes incredibly beautiful songs and covers too. :)

[Atheisen582]

you have it backwards, Iron and wine originally wrote such great heights which was inturn covered by the postal service

[Saltheigh]

wait, seriously? hmm. I've checked the Wikipedia for Such Great Heights - it's probably reliable enough for this type of thing - and it says that the tracks were written by the Postal Service, and that album included tracks that were just covers by other artists. if you have a more reliable source of information, I'd be glad to be reinformed.

[FreethinkingFun]

The Postal Service wrote the song, and Iron & Wine covered it. I have no authoritative source for this...except that this is how it really went.

I was annoyed to admit it because I'm not really a Postal Service fan and Iron & Wine's version destroys theirs, but it is certainly the case that Iron & Wine are doing the cover

[dave1176]

Ben Gibbard of Deathcab for Cutie while writing in correspondence with the artist behind Dntel wrote it for a band they were working on called "Postal Service" Sam Beam covered it (literally before it was even released) all rights to the song still belong to Ben Gibbard, although when Ben performs this song acoustically he often references Sam Beam's version, which adds to the confusion. :) Honestly though both artists are great and it fits both of their idioms in different ways.

[KNWProductions]

these guys and two gallants= the greatest ear candy ever concieved

[AstronomyRecords]

This is just a beautiful touching song. Thank You!

[mistervalls]

"And the hairs on your arms will stand up"

Remember my misery and how it lost me all I wanted... That's the best advise a human being can give to others.

Smile, and doors will open my friends

[misfit1978]

Lovely song :-)

[HomesickChic]

This is potentially the most beautiful song I've ever listened to.

[naughtyfrom]

I agree, this song is good stuff.

[MrrANDOM34]

I have to write an essay on this song.

[gabbe7]

[BlackHawk2029]

@GodspeedingCar  this song actually has every right to be all damn night long. best song EVER to fall asleep to.

[lacvieux]

I remember when "The Creek Drank the Cradle" came out...I thought "how could this get any better"...here's the answer. Sam Beam just keeps getting better.

[KenzieLikeRawr]

This song is the most amazing song ever.

[dillarooke]

Without a doubt some of my favorite lyrics of all time.

[andyanyd]

Just how amazing it is, totally reshaped my concept of the perfect song. Showed me new heights of just how beautiful a song could be.

[MRHARDY84]

[mrtonya69]

[anentris]

bt-way way?

[MRHARDY84]

[bealgirl27]

[yesboss2000]

[ContrastImage]

Can't complain

[thejza420]

baby making music for white people lol

[Aaron3636]

better yet, just download the song and edit out that part with audacity or another editing program.

[Protoguy1]

Does anyone know where a clean version could be found?

[TheBoneLESS]

Not sure what you mean by 'clean' but the song can be found on Iron and Wine's latest album (Around the well).

[donswald]

I think he means, a version without the phrase "fuck the man."

[Aaron3636]

i doubt it man

[trippinballs15]

Haha. Funny. (not sure why so many Neg. marks).

[philichinoman93]

until now ive never listended to the entire thing...its so beautiful, it brings tears to my eyes =] and rightfully so

[philichinoman93]

listened*

[gliteranddisaster]

I honestly only watched this move (In Good Company) because I heard that there was a lot of the Iron And Wine songs in it. :)

[mgaines1943]

I have played this song many times after my son Nathan died of brain cancer at age 20. I cry each time thinking both of the good times and the incredible loss. This weekend marks three years. I miss you Nathan but I will see you when I get there.-Dad

[Antiiiie]

Im sorry for your lost. Your words made my cry. Nobody can really move on after losing a child, but i hope you some day can find some inner peace.

[nguyen1025]

This made my day.

[fuuudzx]

wonderful. i love his voice !

[trippinballs15]

reminds me of "for the longest time" by William Joel..only more sad...

[CuckingFracked]

Awesome song. Makes me smile..and cry just a little though. ;)

[rainbowgorilla]

beautiful song xxx

[dablabawala]

You rock the free world for posting this song. Been trying to find it forever. Spiritually uplifting and simultaneously melancholy. Makes me happy while it reminds me of sad moments past, mistakes made, and friends lost. I hope there really are Pearly Gates. Sgt. W. rest in peace. We'll meet again.

[lwirbel]

The song is the last on the new double-disc of Iron and Wine rarities. What a closer.
