Currently have a girlfriend who I will have to leave in two months...she loves Iron & Wine as well. We make love while I play my entire Iron & Wine collection on shuffle. I'm really glad that I didn't have to discover this song while watching a network television show. Really cheapens the whole thing I think. How to resist ? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/30/09 I found this music thanks to House md, as many people here, and each time I listen to this music, tears are about to fall, I can't stop seeing the hospital room with Wilson and Amber on the bed, seeing each other for the last time ... Thanks for the lyrics, even if I don't understand everything (I should ask my english teacher to work on this text before the "baccalauréat" come) ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh | Reviewer: cameron | 4/26/09 Like everyone, i too heard this on house. I am a house addict. I started to hate amber at first, but then i just started to like her character when wilson and her fell in love. I cryed my eyes out when I watched that episode. Amber did such a goos job of acting, and this song really brought out the hurt. That episode was amasingly filmed with the bus crash and amber. this is an amasing song!!!!!!!!!!!! (can u believe that amber is coming back?) tearfull | Reviewer: Annie | 4/10/09 So... i won't be original. I also heard this song in House's final and I also cried. I cried so, so much. Not only because of that situation - Amber's death - but this song... It's made me so sad. And I just had to know, what song was that. So, here I am. Wow | Reviewer: Jonno | 4/2/09 Like many others, I first heard this song on House. At first I thought it was just a well chosen song to sum up how it feels to lose someone. Listening to it again without the image of Wilson being ripped apart, I've realised it is simply an absolutely lovely song. You find yourself hanging to every lyric. Every single line is beautifully crafted, painting a story of extreme hurt. Its one of the only songs Ive ever listened to that hits everyone on a personal level in one way or another. Not many songs can cause a room full of grown men in a pub to begin crying when someone puts it on the jukebox, but Passing Afternoon does just that. If anyone is interested, there is a Scottish songwriter/musician called Colin Hay, quite a few of his songs (in particular Overkill and Waiting for my real life to begin)have a similar effect. Any fans of Iron and Wine, I would recommend Colin Hay. old abandoned cd find | Reviewer: anonymous | 3/24/09 I found this song on one of my dad's old abandoned cds and thought that it was one of the sweetest most meaningful songs i've ever heard. Iron and Wine is now my favorite music to listen to. it is so honest and beautiful. love the way sam beam sings. so sweat. simply breathtaking. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/15/09 this has always been one of my favorite songs by Iron and Wine, right up there with Jesus the Mexican Boy and Bird Stealing Bread. perhaps it's me projecting my own experiences onto this gracefully subtle song, but i've always seen it as a lonely man talking about the woman he loved but could never have. he knows in his heart that she must be married and have children by now, and has contented himself with knowing that she sometimes sits and thinks of him as well. no matter what you think he wrote it about, it's enough to break your heart. Sam Beam is one of those rare people in the world who are a perfect mix of songwriter and musician. the stories he tells are so beautifully embellished with imagery that sometimes, it doesn't really matter what it may or may not be about. "there are things that drift away, like our endless, numbered days..." Inspiring | Reviewer: Andrea | 12/27/08 When i first heard this song it was also durring the season finale of House. The way the song connected with Amber's death and the pain Wilson would feel really struck me. This song reminds me so much of the love that i have lost. The lyrics are increadibly versatile, they could be interpreted to fit almost any situation, and in the most poetic way. Every time i hear it i find a new symbolic meaning in the words, and gain a deeper understanding of how i feel. It's truly beautiful. wow | Reviewer: Cuddy | 12/26/08 being a house addict, i almost cried my eyes out when i first heard this song on the season 4 finale. but listening to the lyrics more carefully i can't help but be amazed. i mean, it's ambiguous as someone pointed out earlier. But it definitely is about losing someone, and that's always hard. it quite frankly just speaks to you because everything they say is so true. i would just like the point out the incredible talent of the person who wrote this, look at the second line of each stanza: summer, autumn, springtime and winter. all i can say is WOW. Exfoliating | Reviewer: Analiese | 11/29/08 Like many others, I first heard this song on the season finale of House, season four. I cried then, more so because Amber was dying and Wilson was falling apart, but now listening to this song I cry (at least on the inside) every time I hear it. It's intensely beautiful and it makes you feel a plethora of feelings so that even if you're crying you'll be smiling and laughing through your tears. I'm 15, and while you may not think I am capable of understanding death/lost love, I assure you I am. As far as "Such Great Heights" goes, I can't get used to the Iron & Wine version. I first heard the Postal Service's version and I can't get the fact that Iron & Wine's version is so much slower to cooperate with my brain which is spitting out lyrics a mile a minute.
