Iron & Wine have covered The Innocence Mission’s “Tomorrow On The Runway.” Sam Beam talked with NPR about how the cover came to be:
“Stephanie approached me about a particular scene in the film and asked if I could write an original song,” Beam writes via email. “Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to commit to that, but when “Tomorrow on the Runway” came to mind, it seemed like a wonderful match. The song feels like an elegy, which was appropriate for the tone of the movie, and it’s long been a favorite of mine because the melody is so beautiful. Working with Stephanie was a pleasure, and I’ve been an Innocence Mission fan for a long time, so getting a chance to record one of their songs was a real treat, as well.”
