The bit at the end. "Black hoof mare, broken leg," horse with a broken leg. "Age old dog, hornet nest," old dog stung by hornets. They both have their "Eye on the shotgun shell." Because "A woman king, Bloodshot eye, Thumb down and starting to weep." She had to pull the trigger and put them down, out of their misery. But she loved them and it hurt to do so. That's what it seems to mean to me.
One time I was at work on a gorgeous sunny day and we were driving out to make a delivery to a vineyard that was out by vast wheat fields and old houses accompanied by this song. Truly magical.
When I think of a Woman King I envision Dionysus and being they're called "Iron and Wine" I think might be right. Also Lillith is a beautiful deity. I think they're just pagan inspired musicians who fucking rock! 93.
Talismans maybe... things you'd put on a chain and wear around your neck. Ancient societies used talons, claws and things like that as a symbol of status sometimes.
this one time i had a vivd dream wherein my girlfriend was dancing to this song in a VERY seductive way. ever since then it has been a personal goal of mine to arrange it so that my dream comes to life.
I'd wager it's more because iPods were once useful products; and now they are simple money vacuums. Think about it; I have a friend who still is rocking an iPod circa 2001 or so, monochromatic screen. Yet a modern iPod lasts two years before it's time to replace. And let's not get into DRM. Hipster worries? *eye roll*

for some reason, I always have an urge to listen to this song, as I'm walking, with the wind dramatically blowing at me. This actually happens. :)

this song is so ill..def makes you feel like you can do almost anything and that alone is a gift!
I love this song. It inspired my cyberpunk adventure novel series, Phoenix Undying. Thank you Iron and Wine. ❤
I'm so glad Pandora introduced this artist to me, so grateful T_T
Got tickets for tonight's show in Bloomington Il. Sold out standing only. It's gonna be a great one. One of my favorite non Metal bands out there.
This song is so fucking badass
yes, yes it is
I love the guitar in the beginning, feels so magical
Iron and Wine is so great. Thanks for the post.
i'm intrigued by the fact that this album starts with woman king and ends with lillith's song. I think it's about the mythological Bad Mother.

This song is so good
@AugustKrueger claw just means pointed nail. So yes birds have claws. (not to be confused with paws)
This song is so badass.
this made me think of Fable. It just feels so epic
Makes me think of Joan of Arc...and this beautiful woman I'm in love with.
This song is so addicting!
This makes me want to fight, Idk why, I just feel like getting up out of my chair and fighting for something.

this song reminds me of Empress Matilda
i love you girl
Arturia Pendragon or most commonly know as Saber :)
I thought the same! Ahahah
@silentpinecone Oddly enough, this song makes me think of the PLA loading theme in Battlefield 2.
Now, I know two songs called Woman king (roblox) :D
I am going to make a symphonic metal cover of this song.
Yara Greyjoy, anyone?
i just learned this song :0
Intro reminds me of The Who's 'Magic Bus'. It's a far cry, but a cry nonetheless.
singer sounds familiar *insert sideways knowing glance*
Happy birthday you handsome devil
Luv dis chit
this one time i had a vivd dream wherein my girlfriend was dancing to this song in a VERY seductive way. ever since then it has been a personal goal of mine to arrange it so that my dream comes to life.
Well?
tabs anywhere?
Hmm.....What is this song about? It seems simple, but there are several things it could be about, but I cant come to conclusion..
Glad this hasn't been on Skins. Yet.....
Arya stark man "sword in hand"
Makes you want to stamp your foot on the ground all kinds of hard.
Can't wait till the day there's actually a woman king
+Wreck Tangle Same. Leaders of the past have been overwhelmingly male and look at the state of the world right now. Bring on the women kings!
+David Maris So....a Queen regnant?
***** Haha apparently it is today!
Elizabeth II, the reigning monarch of 15 countries? She so happens to be a woman.
Elizabeth I was pretty much a woman king.
Too mainstream and it supports big corporation, right? *eye roll*
Years later and people still getting here from roblox
Mini watsit ?
+Sam Brewin I got here from Blue Sky Portal.
Lol

I like the cover by Lord Fowl better
It's woman king, get your shit together and say that to your ipod for me
are you really so arrogant to believe that just because your ipod says something it's true? lol
