I love Iron & Wine in about a dozen ways. And a video with flamenco dancers to indie alt/folk music? Brilliant and beautiful.
There is something so haunting about flamenco's lovely intensity - or ferocity, even? I think it is a perfect match for the song. (I must say, though, the students have a cooler part than the teacher.)
Oh. OH! My. I still have chills running through me. That is impossibly beautiful and wonderful and fierce. Fierce beauty.
ReplyDeleteoh, i love iron and wine! and those were some seriously fierce dance moves.
ReplyDeletep.s. i think you'll love this poem about a spanish flamenco dancer.
Odessa - Oh, so evocative! I especially like the bit about her arms...
ReplyDeleteI think I have a new favourite song! I love music, Im so glad you introduced me to this!
ReplyDeleteThis is spectacular. I once wrote an entire novel about flamenco dancers in Seville at the end of the Civil War (never published). I couldn't get enough of the dance, haunted all these flamenco places in Spain. This is gorgeous. Thanks for posting this.
ReplyDeletei was just watching this video the other day. it does have an intense ferocity, absolutely...
ReplyDeletei would say something too, aside from the fact that i see nothing but a blank white box. but im on a school computer right now and they stink, so yea
ReplyDeleteOh I agree, I find Flamenco music and dance to be so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIron & Wine is the perfect autumn music. I'm just a little bit in love with Sam Beam.
ReplyDeleteBeth - Unpublished? Oh, sad...
ReplyDeletemiamaria - Ah yes, school computer syndrome. I know it well.
Gretchen - Ditto.
