Sam Beam is an amazing person. His music calms me, and simply makes me happy. He is a hero in my book.

[@bcard123]

[@arkanix1074]

So Talented when you can make a song in an elevator sound like it was produced. Seriously, Ill always respect someone who can sing live, unrehearsed and in an elevator :) Sam Beam forever!!!

[@Tanru2000]

How amazing would it be one day to walk into a lift and there is Sam Beam playing "Boy With A Coin"! :D

[@Ritsel12727]

I think Sam Beam has one of the best male voices that I ever heard.

[@ToneJovak]

Best comment of all time..

[@el123iza]

Fantastic

[@SaileAway]

I love Sam's laugh.

[@hensly77]

this awesome you found a new subscriber

[@Aphexslim]

Sams my hero.

[@BurningTheMasses]

I like how everyone is commenting on his beard, and not his phenomenal talent.

[@tablajason]

I'm floored. Seriously, good sh*t!

[@Draama20]

Great idea :D

[@BEBAH205]

"Boy With A Coin" a personal favorite

[@sektr7g]

was released on his new album under the title "boy with a coin"

[@wernerslostblues]

i love the way he called out how dumb the 3voor12 interviews are.

[@jmtands]

I personally love Rob Zombie. AND Sam Beam.

[@dfghslk]

i agree. it IS like velvet lol. :D i love them

[@brycediedrich]

@joshsellers7 its called die... its from dark was the night album

[@arkanix1074]

Yeah your right it is probably rehearsed, but still he sounds amazing. I have watched some of the other Behind Close Doors sets and I think he did excellent. Some of the other ones they could not sing live. Although he is an folk performer generaly, so the accoustic apect is probably easier for him than say a rock band 4 on the floor type. I&W is great.

[@philofelinist]

whoops yeah you're right! thanks for pointing that out. he asks his questions with a strangely forceful intonation for the situation regardless.

[@snowboarderman37]

why are you so good at life

[@punkyboy76]

The first song is "Stolen House (Die)"

[@aandybandy11]

BurningTheMasses , his talent like his beard is huge !

[@HughBurgessSinger]

He was AMAZING in Edinburgh on 11/3/11

[@Jamesfrancosdog]

He once said at a performance that it was called "not afraid to die"

[@napalmocean]

@MrNick2296 Yes you did.

[@Thorreth]

"We're in a fuckin elevator" xD Great Tunes Sam.

[@afromanrmb]

It's called 'Die' it's on the charity compilation 'Dark Was The Night'

[@thawkamac]

"Your not gonna talk?" thats hilarious

[@melodel2]

you know how lucky you would be to get to have Sam Beam do a personal concert in an elevator for you? lol!

[@mfoust18]

Dude! Sam is totally high in this video!

[@user-ht4gb2fw4e]

5/5!

[@DnMZen]

damn right

[@sk8ncre8]

great voice, and song. Kept waiting for him to smash the acoustic, and start going richter to end the song, and it just faded away. Still really good.

[@TheVeedubb]

that was awesome lol

[@goodbyeseptember]

"Don't say we don't suffer for our art."

[@wezzlyn]

Why, thankyou

[@ledzeppelinandthewho]

Most defenitely.

[@wernerslostblues]

he's an impressive guy even the simple fact that his wife is a midwife is amazing.

[@nirvomind]

thanks towncenter !! good karma to you:D

[@YummyUkulele]

Lawlz. "Don't say we don't suffer for our art."

[@megawert]

@kronky2 for real wow how could someone not know that it was his reflection wow lol

[@MikeyFace13]

@fowlebm9 It's definitely not a seagul, the headstock is wayy to wide. Seeing as he isn't exactly a lesser known musician it's probably some european brand he picked up. That'd be my guess anyways.

[@sjeg1987]

it's called 'not afraid to die', but it isn't released i'm pretty sure

[@manuelturcios]

I like the hanging out with sam beam idea....fuck if anyone told m e what guy I wanna get drunk with it would be sam....another reason why sam is the shit

[@dmbkersh]

haha. it is rehearsed....hundreds of times....But yes they're great songs. Same with Iron & Wine.

[@DutchPilot007]

What about passing afternoon? I think it's one of his best songs too.

[@Napalm93]

Buddy's beard is epic.

[@atikker]

@sheilagreenfair he is hilarious. i just saw him a few nights ago, and he was cracking jokes the whole time... love him.

[@Geistkeller]

what is the name of the first song?! and where i may find it?! ??? not afraid to die ???

[@guyarusso]

If you like Iron and Wine you should check out Broken Fences. Myspace is /broken-fences

[@nirvomind]

whatthe name of the fisrt song please

[@SuperNoobTroll]

@25Ragz ok fine i'll admit.. zach gilfanakis and sam beard are two different people

[@burtondevore]

im pretty sure its "Not afraid to Die"

[@garfunkelgrl]

sam beam made me like beards, and that was very hard to do.

[@09wilkmf]

he looks like chewbacca but i love him

[@Floki1624]

what is that guitar he's playing on..dreadnought obviously but the symbol on the headstock looks like a triangle at around 2:21. Obviously not his usual taylor...I thought it might be the seagull s6 but probably not...

[@joshsellers7]

what's the name of the first song he plays?

[@7tilsleep]

anyone know what kind of guitar sam is playing? it almost looks like an Alvarez.

[@ikbenjitse]

wath is the name of the first song ?

[@guitarguy182182182]

whats the second song called?

[@thenightdescending]

does anyone have the lyrics for this song

[@TheInfamousRinny]

"we're not afraid to die".... or maybe "we are not afraid to die," one or the other.

[@shinofan18]

whats the first song

[@Ceilingkat13]

Jesus was made in the image of Sam Beam!!!

[@orlytux]

@drakonimetal indeed

[@ecwork09]

[@robsteries]

second song : boy with a coin

[@PbZeppelin6]

whats the 2nd song?

[@yoyoyoson]

"we're in a fuckin' elevator.."

[@Jamesfrancosdog]

Haha..silly sam, he said "a boy with a coin he found in his jeans" it's "crammed" but it's ok. He is a genius so it's ok. P.s. " Don't say we don't suffer for our art" haha!

[@smilelikumnit]

@ChablesMan Yum.

[@Tale077]

With great beards comes great responsibillity!

[@bladieblaat]

@BonIverSUCKS you funny, funny man :D

[@surfer390111]

Is that his twin brother on his left?

[@TheresHellToPay]

shit my pants lol

[@sk8borderx]

his voice is like... a mixture of Fergie..and Jesus!. for a moment there..i thought he took the shape of a unicorn

[@brianbranham1977]

that's fucking awesome haha. it's totally obvious it's a ridiculous idea. scared ? geez.

[@Forsythie]

I would like to eat cookies with him someday..

[@Doombot2point0]

his twin O.o

[@ThatSecondDude]

Sam's no Jesus, but he's my savior from bad music

[@jakeelindsay]
