It was performed by the band last night on The Jimmy Fallon Show (along with the brand new song “Godless Brother In Love”, featured below). “Love V

Who : Iron & Wine When : May 17th 18th Where : Abrons Arts Center On Sale : Soon? More Dates Thoughts : Last week I admitted to having never seen Bonnie "Prince" Billy and this week I have to admit to never getting my ass to an Iron & Wine show.
