Such Great Heights - By Iron & Wine
TITLE: Such Great Heights
ARTIST: Iron & Wine
GENRE: Indie Folk
MOOD: Nostalgic / Romantic
SIMILAR TO: The Milk Carton Kids, Bon Iver
Originally recorded as an indie pop song by The Postal Service, Iron & Wine transforms “Such Great Heights” into an intimate lullaby evocative of Sunday afternoons in the summertime. If The Postal Service’s version is late night drives through the city with neon lights rushing past, Iron & Wine’s is the morning after when you stay in bed together until noon with countryside sunlight streaming through the windows. The warmth of the instruments is reminiscent of gentle, giddy love -- the kind where you’re aware of how mushy and sappy your thoughts and feelings are, but you have no wish to try and stop them.
