But this little diner — a shiny sanctuary hidden in the midst of dust and rubble — is where you can be alone and invisible, a rabbit in the brush.

'The Best of Us' is a tale filled with the television-type-of-love that we‘re all familiar with and a sadness we may not know but grow to understand, in order to show us that even when love is not simple, it can still be good.

I look back now at that night and think about my own brown-eyed naivety and having a bad idea of what bravery is, but aren't we all that way at nineteen? 

The first name I ever had was Seung He Ahn. It was originally given to me in the thick of camphor trees and camellias in South Korea — the name meaning “rising” or “ascent”, but the origin of who chose this name and why is still a secret, even to me.

For the first time, Iron & Wine has released an album of only himself through his record label Black Cricket Recording Co. and is standing on his own two feet with that familiar folk guitar.

I intended to scream and howl and defend my actions to the death, but instead I heard something like a sad-man cry — so I revised.

In 119 minutes, 'Stronger' reveals the sacrifice of responsibility and the threat of deteriorating relationships, the plight behind the glory of resilience and how muscle memory can move you forward.
