| Iron & Wine – Walking Far from Home Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song definitely reminds me of Dylan's "It's A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall". It has the same lyrical structure and revolves around one chord progression. It could even be influenced or an homage. Although it does contain biblical references, I think a lot of them could be taken more literally or figuratively. It really seems to me like it's just about a man's experiences in a foreign (and probably poverty-ridden) land. My favorite lines? "Saw a prisoner take a pistol And say, 'Join me in song, join me in song' " "I saw hungry brothers waiting With a radio on, radio on." |
