Iron & Wine – Communion Cups and Someone's Coat Lyrics 14 years ago
I am in love with this song. It makes me cry, how beautiful it is, how much it reminds me of things.
My own opinion about this song is maybe, someone who hates her past and how she wished it could just be erased. When it comes to talking about her past--"yesterday"--she will ignore you and hope that it just goes away, that it all blows over, that she can move on. But when the future--"tomorrow"--is mentioned, she will listen, and talk about all her hopes and dreams for the future. She is secretly optimistic and there's only one person that mentions "tomorrow" and she opens up to him/her about how she hopes it will be.
But that's just my idea. (:

Iron & Wine – In Your Own Time Lyrics 14 years ago
I don't really know why, but the impression I get from this song is that someone is trying to "ruin" their life or is starting to go down a path that they know is self-destructive but they find themselves surrounded by people who just won't leave them alone/let them do what they want. So they're stifled by people that love them and say they want to help but don't really understand anything about the world. It reminds me a lot of my life. It's like... there are some people that just know more about the real world, the darker things of it, and the more naive people think they can fix everything and do everything right and that everyone has a problem if they're not as happy as them. I don't know. Just an idea. It's like churchpeople not understanding a druggie's problem, but having known them forever they think that a little prayer will do the trick when in reality, the druggie needs real help, psychological help, rehab, etc, and not just religion.
This one isn't my favorite Iron & Wine song, but it's a good listen(:

Iron & Wine – California Lyrics 14 years ago
I love this song. <3 I think it might be about a guy trying to convince his girlfriend to move to California with him? I don't know, just my interpretation, I think it's a pretty simple song though the phrases "magnified abandon" and "vivid truth" are amazing. (: Sam Beam is my hero!
