Okay, I just love Iron & Wine. Never seen them live unfortunately, but sometimes close my eyes and pretend I'm there when I listen to NPR concert coverage.
Maybe some of you who have actually been to a show can have better input, but I think my favorites are
1. The Trapeze Swinger
2. Carousel
3. Naked As We Came
4. Boy With a Coin
5. Each Coming Night
6. Peace Beneath the City
and 7. Sodom, South Georgia
... that list goes on. I just really like those the most I think. Any other opinions??
At this point in time...and maybe not in this particular order...
1. Upward Over the Mountain
2. Freedom Hangs Like Heaven (especially live)
3. Walking Far From Home
4. Lion's Mane (live)
5. Love Song of the Buzzard (live)
1. Walking Far From Home
2. The Trapeze Swinger
3. Faded From The Winter
4. Fever Dream
5. Passing Afternoon
It's hard to pick, but I think my favorite album was Endless Numbered Days. That one contains a lot of really great songs.
Great songs. Mine would be:
1. Resurrection Fern
2. Communion Cups and Someone's Coat
3. The Trapeze Swinger
4. Boy With a Coin
5. ...and every other song :D
All epic song choices, but for me its gotta be the following:
1. upward over the mountain
2. passing afternoon
3. walking far from home
4. 16, maybe less
5. belated promice ring
A hard list to write, but I'll give it a go:
1. Biting Your Tail
2. The Trapeze Swinger
3. Her Tea Leaves OR Postcard
4. Jezebel
5. Southern Anthem
Wolves (song of the Shepherd's Dog) makes a VERY close sixth, for it's incredible lyrics.
1. Such Great Heights
2. Walking Far From Home
3. Me and Lazarus
4. Die
5. Each Coming Night
6. Lion's Mane
7. Southern Anthem
8. Naked as We Came
9. Passing Afternoon
10. Resurrection Fern
I completely agree on your first. That song is superb.
1) Monkeys Uptown
2) Me and Lazarus
3) Jezebel
4) Dearest Forsaken
5) House by the Sea
Twice in the last year luckily enough!
The Norfolk live album is superb - you can even hear glasses clinking on some songs.

my top 5 are
1. flightless bird, american mouth
2. resurrection fern
3. each coming night
4. tree by the river
5. such great heights
1. Jezebel
2. Communion Cups & Someone's Coat
