Iron & Wine Quotes:
I had all these songs lying around. They had all these woman characters, and I thought the idea of the Woman King would be a good way to tie them all together.
-Sam Beam
It sort of depends on the song. Some of them are pretty easy to write, and others take a while. I do a lot of writing in the morning.

"We play some smaller songs larger than they are the record, and vice versa. It took me a while to get used to playing live."
