Been listening to a lot of Iron & Wine lately. This is my favorite song of theirs.
I do not know who Cole was but he uploaded this song to youtube and later took his own life. Since we're archiving soon, here's to remembering Cole.

I've played this and a couple of live versions of it >1,200 times in total. I've not worked out how many hours' worth of listening that is, but I do know that it's an awful lot. And I never tire of it. I consider it pretty much perfect as a song.

"So please remember me, finally. And all my uphill clawing. My dear, but if I make the Pearly Gates. I'll do my best to make a drawing of God and Lucifer, a boy and girl, an angel kissin' on a sinner."
Cant wait until April to finally see Iron & Wine in concert. Heres hoping he plays this song ...
