Music Monday: Iron and Wine round two

Hello Mondains. It feels like a long time since we've had this little chat of ours.

Today's music is a curious case. The magic of youtube has proven invaluable to me. It is incredible that I can search for pretty much anything and it will pop up right in front of me in video form. Whether it is professionally done or some sort of weird home video I pretty much know that someone has put something out there for the topic I am interested in. Magic. It is also magical because we get to see amazing snippets of peoples lives. In this instance I am referring specifically to live musical performances. Usually if I hear someone play a song I like live it very rarely holds its ground to the recorded version. There are too many variables for someone to nail a song anywhere they play it, every time they play it. In this instance I feel that this group nailed it. I like this version much much more than their album version.

You can be the judge if you have the album or want to look it up on the youtubes.  This is Iron and Wine with "Upward Over the Mountain"



Can I also add that I can usually mimic people's voices or at least do a decent impression of them but Sam Beams voice is untouchable for me. I can't even come close. When I sing along its like I'm out of tune but not with the music, just with his voice. He makes me feel like I'm croaking instead of singing.

Until next time; keep your pups in the pantry.
