Video: Iron & Wine – “Tree By The River” (from Take-Away Shows)

In a video that surely many have struggled to find an appropriately witty headline for, La Blogotheque looks through a camera borrowed from the Mary Tyler Moore Show to watch Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam perform “Tree by the River” below a flight of stairs in a Paris cellar.

The site has a discussion of the video in French. A little help from Google Translator renders a description that reads like tender and awkward prose:

While we do not know what to do: push you, flatter you, encourage you, promise you … Ants waving around your beard, your smile, which invite you to taste a wine, try to find a way to close the horizon around you, creating a cocoon, find a back stairway. Finally hear you sing.
