If you were home, sick, with Iron & Wine on PBS, snuggling with your girlfriend and dog family, and all the memories of places and times you’ve heard this hushed, beautiful music come rushing back, reminding you of the placeds you’ve been and why you were happy to be the place you are–even if you were sick?
