My God that was an incredible rendition of this tune. This is my favorite Iron & Wine and/or Calexico song ever recorded. I could listen to this one on repeat endlessly.

Gosh... this brings me back to my college days. I used to listen to this EP constantly back then, and this tune was probably my favorite song of 2005. Just a beautiful song, and this rendition of it 15 years later is amazing.

[@Gigi82knits]

One of my favourite songs of all time 😃😃😃

About as close to perfection as a live performance can get.

Awh man, that horn in the end is class. Now I really wanna hear a Beirut version of this song

[@everwake2689]

Great rendition of one of my favorite songs.

[@helanthros]

One more drink tonight as your gray stallion rests
Where he lays in the reins
For all of the speed and the strength he gave
One more kiss tonight from some tall stable girl
She's like grace from the earth
When you're all tuckered out and tame
One more tired thing the gray moon on the rise
When your want from the day
Makes you to curse in your sleep at night
One more gift to bring we may well find you laid
Like your steed in his reins
Tangled too tight and too long to fight

Thank god for these two awesome band 🙏🏻.

[@thestonedsurfers9174]

Amazing song, beautiful version. Thank you

[@gandalfshakur8235]

This was the best modern era EP (original version) I've ever heard. It felt like an entire album without ever feeling it wilted by those soft touches. Enter this: so much better even, the perfect go-to atmospheric-focused artists for the modern era.

[@lloolloollooii]

this is better than the studio version, so emotional

When I saw these two perform in Montreal circa 2004 while they were promoting the first collaboration, there was an old mariachi dude who was singing the chorus on stage and he had this appropriately loud Spanish/Mexican baritone. The crowd lit up when he began singing, I recall. Might it be that older gent in the group with a white ponytail?

[@lenievanmourik-poelen9802]

No, the man you mean is Salvador Duran.

[@thefunlovin]

Fuck ... GREAT ! Incredible ! 😃

[@kggreen6714]

Is the audio of this available for purchase or download anywhere?

[@MichaelAcurantes]

[@ganmaanja]

i accidentally read this as "he lays in the penis" and i've never been more confused

[@sobrevivenciaurbanamx1856]

Its a god version, but i prefer the radio edition

[@lastofthemohicans1]
