A heartfelt, folky love song about a partner who brings out the best in their person, like a curator saves a faded painting.

You repair all that you touch
You already have saved so much

You restore the oil I’m made of
You’re the curator
I need your love

You see through how bad I seem
You give life back to my dream

You’re the keeper when push comes to shove
You’re the curator
I need your love

The care you give is so high
Colors dull but you bring them back to life

You restore the oil I’m made of
You’re the curator
I need your love

You’re the keeper when push comes to shove
You’re the curator
I need your love

10 MISSED CALLS

I've been playing this a bit in my recent sets. Such a beautiful piece by Iron & Wine.

Iron & Wine - Naked As We Came (Veo Voom Cover)

“Golden” by These Guitars Say Sorry is an acoustic folk ballad that blends warm guitar tones with emotive, singer-songwriter storytelling. Featured on the artist’s third album, the track is lifted further by harmonies from The Choir of Phantoms.

The lyrics move between fleeting golden mornings, rose-filled gardens, and shared struggles in “the same sinking boat,” offering a bittersweet reflection on beauty, hardship, and resilience. Despite the rain, ruin, and distance, the song carries a persistent optimism — a reminder that the best is yet to come.

For fans of Billy Bragg, Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake, Bright Eyes, Damien Rice, Iron & Wine.
