Iron & Wine

It took another boring evening of watching a tiresome movie for me to remember how much I love Iron & Wine. The movie was "In Good Company" with Topher Grace and Scarlett Johansson. Like a good husband, I allowed Fabienne to choose what we should watch.

The movie has a terrible ending, but when the credits began to roll, "The Trapeze Swinger" by Iron & Wine started to play, and it instantly was like medicine to my tortured soul. Above is a video of Sam playing the song live at Messiah College this past February.

I had the 'pleasure' of watching this movie on one of my long bus rides from Patzcuaro to Mexico City the other day. I agree that the movie wasn't the best, but the soundtrack was really good. If I remember correctly, it sounded like Peter Gabriel, The Shins, Damien Rice, and, of course, multiple songs from Iron and Wine. Fortunately the songs weren't dubbed in Spanish like the movie.
