很难说清楚Iron and Wine的音乐风格。蓝草和另类乡村的根基,田园牧歌般的沉思默想,从某种程度上与Nick Drake、Sparklehorse遥相呼应。以诗意隽永的语言表达极为个人化的生活感受,思想的内向性。纯粹的空心吉他加上清澈的声音,这便是 iron and wine,很简单的旋律,让人慢慢地安静下来,可以让自己静下心来思考,,抚平混乱思绪,很奇妙的音乐。
这首boy with a coin 有弗拉明戈的调调 听着歌者的吟唱 合着拍子 仿佛可以想象到地中海蔚蓝的天空,清澈的海水 还有温和的日光
当然 弗拉明戈的本质是炽热的
吉普赛人总爱说:“弗拉明戈就在我们的血液里!”的确,在我们这些异族人眼里,弗拉明戈就是吉普赛,就是卡门就是那些来自遥远异乡的,美丽而桀骜不驯的灵魂。

歌词
“A Boy With A Coin”
Lyrics by Iron & Wine
A boy with a coin he found in the weeds
With bullets and pages of trade magazines
Close to a car that flipped on the turn
When God left the ground to circle the world
A girl with a bird she found in the snow
Then flew up her gown and that’s how she knows
That God made her eyes for crying at birth
Then left the ground to circle the Earth
A boy with a coin he crammed in his jeans
Then making a wish he tossed in the sea
Walked to a town that all of us burn
