Stole me a map with a corner.

The big pill looms
Crazy plunder is imminent.
Now I am a fat domestic cat.

The mouth of America
Big pill (plunder), stick to it.
May the pain be plundered and not continue. ...
Note: According to the information on the Internet, the song mainly describes that the innocent dream of youth was replaced by the reality of adulthood, and lost the direction of life and kept looking for it. In the end, I became numb and indifferent to the world, allowing ugliness and corruption to prevail in this world, just like a domestic cat. Beautiful and sacred land has been trampled and plundered and cannot be returned. As the Internet said, it is a sad song of "American Dream". This song is quoted in Twilight, perhaps more to express the pure and beautiful feelings of Edward and Bella, who are infatuated with each other and suffer from loss.
Miami, Florida is the southernmost metropolis in the United States. In the late last century, a large number of immigrants poured into the Caribbean basin, and the problem of urban aging became more and more serious. The spring of rapid economic development came to an abrupt end, which seemed to cut off contact with other prosperous southern regions. It seems natural that iron and wine suffering from homesickness appear in such a city.
Iron and Wine is actually a one-man band of Samuel Beam, or just his stage name. This late bloomer is a film teacher. Before he became famous, he taught at Florida State University. 1999 Liang got a four-track machine, so hiding in the bedroom and playing with some lo-fi gadgets became his great hobby.
If he hadn't listened to super pop music occasionally, Tie and wine might still be entertaining themselves in his bedroom. As professional fans, Sup Pop's top people were completely conquered. Out of their professional acumen, they immediately understood that this was the long-awaited voice of the public. After months of persuasion, Liang finally gave his accumulated works enough to make two albums to Sop Pop. The company's original idea was to make two CDs as they are, still out of professional acumen, and they realized that it seemed too generous to fans. With Liang's help, twelve tracks that felt compatible with each other were carefully selected, so the debut of Iron and Wine in 2002, Drinking Cradle in the River, was produced.
The musical style of iron and wine is difficult to tell. Pastoral meditation, the foundation of bluegrass and alternative countryside, echoes Nicholas Rodney Drake and Spark Horse to some extent. Expressing extremely personal life feelings with poetic and meaningful language, the introversion and profundity of thoughts remind people of Connor Oberst and Elliott Smith's urban folk songs. "Before I gave many interviews, I never thought about how to classify my music," Beam said. "I think I like the label' Folk Songs'. I recently realized that folk songs are music except classical music. Whether rap or rock, folk songs are music from the people. "
In fact, the classification of music is just something similar to the introductory guide for fans. When the music of iron and wine does not stick to the pattern, I believe you will have your own judgment. Music is good, who cares? Cool summer night, quiet beach under the starry sky, that was the first time I listened to Iron and Wine. In the reinforced concrete jungle, we can still find a place to release our emotions, and some delicate and fragile feelings can still be comforted. Fortunately, there is music. At this moment, there are not only notes, but also homesickness of deja vu.
