Iron & Wine’s Who Can See Forever is an accompanying live record to
the film of the same name. Captured at Haw River Ballroom in Saxapahaw,
North Carolina, the soundtrack features nineteen songs from the twenty
plus year career of singer-songwriter Sam Beam. Having found inventive
ways to re-invent his catalog live over the years, Who Can See Forever
offers new and fresh versions of Iron & Wine songs including “The
Trapeze Swinger”, “Boy With a Coin” and “Naked As We Came.” The film -
initially intended as a live concert film - evolved into a visual
portrait capturing Beam during a creative outburst that earned him four
Grammy nominations in four years. Like his music, the film touches on
universally personal themes as Beam juggles being an artist, husband and
father. Taken as one, the soundtrack and film are a fascinating
first-time glimpse behind-the-scenes of Iron & Wine.
