Mumford & Sons cover The National

[1967adayinthelife]

both songs and both bands are amazing. respect the music

[avidia8]

I love both of these bands and this just makes me happy all over.

[karenknn]

Whaleguy... Nope, YOU are

[Stride278]

Its all about opinion. I prefer mumford & sons all the way. But I simply dont understand how people believe they're shit.. The play very well. If the covers not to your satisfactory then ok. But they are all very talented musicians and writers.

[karenknn]

Ok, I LOVE The National.

I can't stomach Mumford and Son.

Of all of the National's songs, this is one of my LEAST favorites, but still, it's like a gazillion times better when done by the National.

Mumford and Son should just pack it in, cause they are horrifying.

[whalestail1955]

@karenknn U r an idiot

[crookedrain771]

awful.



[AlexKesslerMusic]

the national are like my favorite band AND i like mumford and sons. and it's okay. cuz this is a great cover.

[Annedoeslie]

I love both bands but no, The National songs are for The National.

[BlueBuzzards]

I love the national. I hate mumford and sons. But this is one of the best covers I've heard for some time. Would you snobs rather they covered a shit band?

[zachesherman]

Good cover, but it just isn't the same without Matt Berninger's voice coming up from below and permeating your body.

[favamuse]

no dai.

[CounterwaightContina]

if someone wants to play a song because they love that song, what gives you the right to the hurl abuse at them? The dare to play this song because the love it. No other reson. No hidden agenda no atempt to steal it or call it their own. Simply out of pure respect for The National and there music.

[bandgeekbabe822]

@CounterwaightContina Couldn't have said it better myself. I worship Mumford and Sons and I'm not afraid to admit that I love them and I think they did this well.

[TheOissin]

How dare they? HOW FUCKING DARE THEY????

[allmonjaceful]

this is terrible.

[MrObviouslyJesus]

Can't get past how they fucked up the lyrics at the end. RAAAAGE

[thestormlscoming]

covers aren't supposed to sound like the original; stop complaining.

[HeartfeltDawn]

Fuck Mumford and fuck their posh English hillybilly version of a fabulous song. 

[willzer808]

@HeartfeltDawn i totally agree, they make England look bad, so contrived, it is sickening

[willzer808]

@HeartfeltDawn they are so contrived, how I haven'd vomited yet is beyond me.. Sorry, but they are bloody sickening

[HeartfeltDawn]

@willzer808 Contrived is a perfect word for them. Kudos! I can't think of a band ever that I've disliked more than them.

[0412lennon]

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[carswell98]

They took a great song and completely destroyed it, and don't get me fucking started on that shite back-up singing @ 3:56

[furrybumper]

A great band covering a great band... EPIC! that is all.

[wbsMullet]

This is like taking a fine wine and adding Tesco value lemonade to it. Why?

[HeartfeltDawn]

@wbsMullet It's more like a fine cider in a beautiful handled glass and then Marcus Mumford opening his slacks and taking a huge dump on top of it. After he's wiped his pious backside clean, he asks 'So what do you think of our version?'.

[vinny20100cote]

Los Angeelees cathedral??? Aaaah, scotish accent...

[alwaysandeverful]

@vinny20100cote They're from London.

[vinny20100cote]

Los Angeelees cathedral??? Aaaah, scotish accent...

[vogelhuiz]

Is this the only cover they've made?

[maggieshalloe10]

@vogelhuiz ha no they made loads

[logan84burton]

I would love to buy the album from this VH1 special, is it available on iTunes, Amazon, etc.?

[joceery]

I love this cover so much.

but this video sucks. look at pop.md at the archive in June 2011 is the video. the same, but better quality and there is an interview of them before the song comes.

[benlulz]

What is this sacrilege?

[elliecoffey]

HOW DARE THEY COVER THE NATIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! bastards!!

[Handitar]

@elliecoffey I'm just mad they got the lyrics wrong...

[maggieshalloe10]

@elliecoffey :O calm down pet :O

[elliecoffey]

@maggieshalloe10 Haha sorry I love The National ;)

[maggieshalloe10]

@elliecoffey i do too now that i saw this :P

[elliecoffey]

@maggieshalloe10 Yesss! The National are immense. Good times.

[SergeantOtter]

Is it afraid of the height, or afraid of the house? Sounds like he's saying house, but sounds like Matt Berninger says height.

[levesque133]

@SergeantOtter it's afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners

[kristiancheyenne]

!!

[sistermadlyus]

jsut saw this on VH1 Unplugged still favor The National version

[Its141Me]

Thank you so much for posting. I'm also not in the US so could not see it! .. I have a huge favor to ask. When this full show is televised could you record it like you did this? It would be GREATLY, GREATLY appreciated!!

[alwaysandeverful]

Oh, this is so beautiful. I'm so annoyed we can't see the proper version in the UK, thanks for this!

[TheZombieHorseZ]

this is great, do you think you could post some of the bonnaroo interviews for us in england ( we cant view them here!) it would really be great :)

[danceluvr1000]

[KeSoze2]

Dan, you f#%&ing rock.

[ratioetfides]
