the following consists of quotations by sam beam (a.k.a iron & wine) at his concert on november 6, 2013.
"this next song is about a man who was living with his heart on the outside of his rib cage."
"i'm going to play you a constellation."
"i can't promise that this next song will make you happy, but isn't it funny how sad songs can sometimes make us feel better?"
"this song is about death. but don't worry. it isn't morbid."
"... however, this song contains explicit morbidity. maybe I should have put a waiver at the front."
"i'm in the business of making a fool of myself."
"well this next song ... is a song ... thank goodness."
"last time i was here at the great salt lake, people were freaking crowd surfing. so if you're feeling the need to crowd surf, just jump on up there. no fighting. someone will catch you."
"i hope that wasn't too rough for you guys .. but saying the f-word a bunch of times in my song seemed like a good idea at the time."
*someone requests a song* "oh, you guys are just full of good ideas!!"
*someone randomly whoops* "is that you mom?"
*someone shouts that sam is sexy* "oh dude you have no idea."
"you don't even know what i've lost in my beard. meals... songs... fans......
.......children."
*backup comes back on stage* "alright guys let's quit this funny business, and get to work."
"this last song is because my parents put drugs in my baby bottle."
"i can't promise that this next song will make you happy, but isn't it funny how sad songs can sometimes make us feel better?"
