::: Every Other Way :::

Well friends and loved ones, here is the moment you’ve been waiting for.

After 7,222 views in around 48 hours, you have earned about 3 min of music based on our Twitter contest rules (500 views=12 seconds).

I am in a generous mood, and well, since the chorus happens almost 5 minutes into the song, here is 6 minutes of Every Other Way.

I must say, there are some huge surprises in this track in the second half. You’ll just have to wait for the album to hear them. Thank you all for the kind words and tweets. What a fun 2 days.

Consider this Tumblr my official location for album countdown. More to come…soon. Lots more :)

Iron and Wine - Such Great Heights

I am thinking it’s a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they’re perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
And true, it may seem like a stretch, but
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you’re away when I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road for
Several weeks of shows and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great
Heights, ‘come down now,’ they’ll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
‘Come down now,’ but we’ll stay…

I tried my best to leave this all on your
Machine but the persistent beat it sounded
Thin upon listening
And that frankly will not fly. You will hear
The shrillest highs and lowest lows with
The windows down when this is guiding you home
