Lover of the Light - Mumford & Sons

[xXGears2FTWXx]

I have come back to this video so many times :)

[roflcopter5497]

Yea, sorry I don't know why I said Lover's Eyes... it hasn't been recorded! I must have been delirious or something haha. The things Mumford and Sons music do to me...

[melindasueboucher]

I don't think either Lover's Eyes or Lover of the Light have ever officially been recorded and released. I think they are both locks to be on the next album though. They first played Lover's Eyes at Clive Davis' Grammy Pre Party last year. So I don't see how it could have been on a previous EP.

[roflcopter5497]

@DhakkanProduction I actually think you're thinking of Lover's Eyes which is a song off of an earlier EP. Lover of the Light is indeed a new song. I've heard them say it several times.

[brno32]

yeah that was greatest thing I've ever seen

[c4io11]

Even if it was in an earlier EP it HAS to be in their new album, it's too fucking awesome

[roniQ2112]

Print out lyrics and sing, sing, sing with Marcus it's so much fun, my smile stretches from ear to ear, 'They are the lovers of the light and I adore them!' :-)

[roflcopter5497]

Well yea... it could be a bonus track... I wish it would be on the album! And at 3:25 and at 4:19 I know it's sweat but it looks like tears on Marcus's face(:

[DhakkanProduction]

This song is from one of their earlier EPs... it shouldn't be on their next album. One hell of a song.If you listen to the other versions of this song, its really calm.. I love how they change it and make it amazing. The crowd could've been a little bit more excited..

[roflcopter5497]

@fifteenyearsyoung lol I did that too! I was like oh NO until I remembered that I was facing him and that it was his right hand :) haha. Great song! This one needs to be on the album... it has to be!!

[cajovej]

This is the best version of this song!!! Howk!

[WhootWednesdays]

The bassist looks like a mixture of Hugh Laurie, and the guy that played Billy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest....

[WhootWednesdays]

I love you, Marcus Mumford.

[2013Evie]

That awesome moment at 4:01 when half the band is headbanging in unison. Love it!

[FourTwentyAdventures]

this live version is better than the studio.

[cocopearce]

bennnnn at 4:44 sooo coooot

[cocopearce]

if this were a dress, it would be a really awesome dress. like super pretty, but like epic at the same time.

[fifteenyearsyoung]

Every time this video starts, I think "GOD DAMNIT BEN IS MARRIED?" Then I realize it's his right hand and everything is okay again.

[misslantana52]

Mumford and Sons~~your music exhilarates me beyond belief!

So addicted but no cure needed! (*_*)

[RichardFeynmanRules]

What an amazing group! (The lead singer reminds me a bit of a young Alec Baldwin in his looks!) Hope to see them live some day.

[dclown50]

@RichardFeynmanRules It's the best thing ever. Best band I've ever seen live.

[majkl642]

@RichardFeynmanRules He reminds me more Tom Hardy. When I was watching Warrior I really waited that he starts singing ;). At the end I had to make sure who was actually staring there.

[dogchow56]

These guys create more than music...they create hope.

[gQuaresma07]

bang that head baby... 4:02

[ElmerDurrer]

a ghost moved the microphone at 4:19

[thicketwings05]

4:23 I LOVE BEN

[Musiq4amor]

Incredibly amazing. Wish there were more bands like Mumford and Sons these days. This is what you call music.

[RikDergis]

Perhaps they're too humble to say it but I will, Best Band Evah!

[clasharrr27]

@irishlymad american speling of colour: color.

[drew70684]

god damn he makes the banjo look cool haha

[carly13r]

@drew70684 the Banjo is cool ..............duh thats why i play it

[Pondebong]

I can't wait until the studio version comes out.

[LittleLionGirlMS]

2 dislikes? Who are these monsters?

[TheMandolineer]

While we're on the subject of trains, I am convinced that every steam locomotive in the U. S. is a time machine. They recently lowered their operating speed to 80 MPH, presumably because the last time that an engineer exceeded that limit, the Railroad Revival Tour arrived in San Pedro 135 years ahead of schedule. Fortunately Marcus was able to relay the news to their band manager because of the release of the new iTelegraph 2, to which he replied lol, or more accurately .-.. --- .-..

[TheFryersmuck]

Beware that the Light you are drawn towards isn't an oncomong train.I talk from experience and at this point I would like to tip my proverbial hat towards Doctor Phickser,the eminent surgeon who put my head back on my shoulders.Nice work Doc,who said that??

[BlahBlahBlahBoise]

@TheFryersmuck

Was this supposed to be funny?

[blobbob7586]

gotta say i love how marcus is just casually swinging in his chair

[michellejam12]

kdjcvbsdkh! Is that an electric banjo??? It sounds fantastic

[ZtDreamRider]

I have never heard of this Mumsfoot band before, Are they welsh. Here is LA we like real music. Heard of Van Halen?

[maxwell2722]

electric banjo... the shit

[TheRobot021411]

@maxwell2722 That's electric dobro, also the shit.

[TheMandolineer]

@TheRobot021411 Incorrect, it's a 5-string electric banjo with a mandolin-inspired body and headstock.

[TheMandolineer]

In this video, Ben has a goat on his keyboard.

In Episode 6 of Mumford & Pals, Ben IS the goat on his keyboard.

[thekevorchestra]

@TheMandolineer I'm still waiting that Ghosts That We Knew tutorial! Haha

[slash148]

Two people are not Mumford sons

[thekevorchestra]

1070 to 2. That's a pretty good ratio nowadays.

[TrueLiesOfficial]

press 1, he is.... 

[zaccy12341]

cant wait for the new album!

[GetAGay]

I think all their songs should have drums in them... Sometimes there is just a little thing that's missing and that would be drums... but that's just my opinion

[Poloman134]

@GetAGay I see where you are coming from, and I once thought that when I first heard this at Reading Festival 2010

But I just think drums in any of the Sigh No More set would hinder the other instruments, which are absolutely quality

My thoughts on that

(CAN NOT wait for their new album in the next couple of months)

:D

[JemFinch312]

I love that effect on the Banjo.

[jamessfromtx]

A solid group of musicians, singing well-written songs about love, character, values. And achieving mainstream success. I believe we have a winner.

[sbarlage88]

2 people have never been kissed by someone of the opposite sex or the same sex (thats ok too if thats what your into) or in this case maybe thats it.

[Greenslime300]

Lead singer on drums (and not Atreyu).... this is just too awesome.

[ineshilariog]

They are fucking brilliant!!

[queeny584gmail]

real singers like this are amazeing ....unlike people who call them selfs singers who make there voices sound better with electronics ..... he sounds the same in his cds and in real life unlike othere people

[Joeyxcook]

@queeny584gmail amen

[followtaylorism]

good. fucking. music.

[clasharrr27]

i can't express the beauty mumford and sons brings to my life....

i could be sitting in a blank white room. but if i'm listening to mumford; the room comes to color.

[ineshilariog]

@clasharrr27 Oh, how I understand that feeling.

[IrishlyMad]

@clasharrr27 *colour



[TheHamsterFang]

@clasharrr27 Same thing bro... same thing... :)

[TheMule93x]

@clasharrr27 haha i feel the same way!! I can't wait for their new album!

[jads324]

@clasharrr27 That's gay!

[biffygreenclyroday]

@jads324 Whats wrong with Gay people?

[LombardiTree]

@clasharrr27 Yeah. I feel a lot better about the world, listening to a band that is so consistently amazing and so consistently passionate. This is probably how everyone felt about the Beatles way back when.

[cocolek3]

Wow. You know a person can really sing if he's playing drums and doing that well.

This just proves even more that Mumford & Sons are amazing.

[Pondebong]

@cocolek3 Most people can't sing half as good live without a instrument.

[KingJemma]

I am in love with this song, seriously in love

[CaliverMusic]

In the middle of the night...listen to Caliver!! Just put up a new song called "In Memory" Check it outttt

youtube.com/watch?v=3j9IahpRHB­0

[hello83558]

it takes serious skill to do what Marcus is doing......

[hello83558]

@hello83558 playing the drums and singing is not easy.......

[MusicLuverAJ228]

I am in LOVE. This is their best song yet, and it's LIVE?!!! Oh my. I think I am having a heart attack from loving this so much. Screw the light, I am a lover of Mumford & Sons!!!!

[BoatMasterful]

It confuses me why people who dislike this actually bother to watch or comment on it.

I love it, incidently.

[MrPilleMcCoy]

E-Banjo ! HELL YEAH !!!

[MrsTedDwane]

Drumcus!

[diggydog1231000]

One word........WOW

[TheRealBethFekete]

head-banging banjo solo?! this video makes the song even more awesome!

[FelipeNecro]

Well, I think that the real folk song is the protest song, like Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and others. This band is cool, but I don't really like this.

[vann247]

have yet to find a song i don't like

[Bunnididit]

How could anyone dislike this!?? Wow!! Its beautiful and outstanding!! My fav now! besides Home. God bless them

[adammason1983]

@nickodood man, they're the musical saving grace for my generation.

[Spartan2240]

Who is this ONE fool who disliked such an awesome song...

[Amitknight123]

@Spartan2240 some possiblities...

Someone Without ears. maybe completely or partially deaf. a sure moron, intellectually challanged, musically challanged, illiterate (maybe did not know which one in the "Like"), some rapper or POP artist,

OR Simply..It could be an accident

I would say 'Lord Forget all of his/her sins'

[thekevorchestra]

I swear I'd be gay for Marcus.

[hookedonMuSe]

I have to share the most AWESOME version of this song, played in San Pedro as part of the Railroad Revival Tour this year! Watch Ben FLY!! Watch the joy in their faces! Watch Marcus on the drums!! In one word: EARGASM!!! (BTW, I'm lucky to get to see them again tomorrow here in LA!! Going to try to bump into them having a beer in the courtyard!!)

Won't let me post the URL so look for "Mumford & Sons- Lover of the Light, at Railroad Revival Tour- San Pedro, CA" YOU'LL LOVE IT!! <3

[Ryan5m1th]

@hookedonMuSe I like this one better. That one's good though. I just feel like this one's sound quality is a little better.

[hookedonMuSe]

@Ryan5m1th I miss the horns and the fiddle though! They give a nice dimension in my version! Plus, BEN SMILING TRUMPS ALL ELSE!! *heavenly* haha BTW, Ben took off flying again last night here in LA during this song! LOVE IT, LOVETT!!

[Carrie96M]

i guarantee i have at least 100,000 of these views.

[blobbob7586]

holy shit i just realized i have that guitar that ted is playing

[theproudicelander]

When an audience is quiet like this it means they like the music and stop screamin like 17 bieber fags

[Beastify9pointO]

amazing is all .

[Carrie96M]

love the electric banjo! is there any band better than this? no.

[TheFryersmuck]

I have just returned from a serious accident which was fixed by my local hospital.I have been down on my luck recently and have been living in my employers barn and one night I realised I had been sleep walking when I awoke to find that I had got into the bulls enclosure and had him in a headlock.To cut a long story short the bull pinned me down and attempted to mate with me, which brought tears to my eyes, I can tell you!! Anyway I would like to dedicate this song to that bull,

[diciannove1100]

@TheFryersmuck CSB

[steve1287]

@TheFryersmuck WTF???

[sqekcx]

@TheFryersmuck

i love your comments

[brigide1988]

@TheFryersmuck whatever ur on, it should be legalized ;P

[zespriAdiction]

4:50  worst part

[username5thousnd]

What! He plays drums? Amazing, he is just beautiful

[gymastphelpsphanatic]

Going to their concert in six days!! Sooooo excited it's ridiculous.

[MsAishwarya92]

@gymastphelpsphanatic Where are they playing?

[gymastphelpsphanatic]

@MsAishwarya92 Saw their show in Portland. It was INCREDIBLE.

[7heMitch]

@gymastphelpsphanatic They were phenomenal!

[ultimateisdumb]

omg it is SO HARD to sing and play drums. mad props to marcus

[FRINGEPROMOS]

Time to clean the keyboard off...just spewed everywhere

[QuietQuill]

I love the goat featured at 1:11!! Classic! =] Mumford and Sons fails to disappoint =]

[CanucksLuo]

They lack steady tempo at times (probably going to get dislikes for this, but its the truth), but still orgasmic! :D

[rabitman700]

by the looks of it he is playing an electric banjolin... doesnt get much more badass then that XD

[polinstrum4]

@rabitman700 its a banjo..

[Kmann2202]

they sound the same recorded as they do live.. incredible(ly) (rare)

[13ohip]

This is the greatest band ever... of all time

Thumbs up if you get the reference!! XD

[13ohip]

"oh god yes, that was great"

Those were the words that ran through my head as soon as the song finished

[gutiec126]

Dam you the person that disliked this video! DAM YOU!!

[8Way2Go8]

The goat is Ben's spirit animal... obvi.

[pearl2227]

I wonder if they'd be willing to accept a girl Uke/violin/piano player into their band? lol... anyway I just love these guys now. They're so soothing to listen to after a long week. Thanks M&S.

[thekevorchestra]

This could save us from an alien invasion.

[rodrileo1234]

I ment to say they dont

[rodrileo1234]

Holly crap.. they have one freaking bad song. ONE! They all are just as good as each other.. if anyone knows one bad song them please tell me

[chaitea347]

Ok Marcus, let's cut the crap and make babies already.

[jgarvy44]

this is just fucking badass

[Jcreek11]

What's with bens goat?

[johnnyq1992]

@Jcreek11 What isn't with it?

[TheGusgus2012]

I pretty much want to marry that singer.

[hichimichi]

ted is a beast!

[nickodood]

I really hope my generation will be remembered for music like this

[Carry2Sky]

@nickodood prolly not sadly :c

[jackvegas47]

@nickodood It won't be.

We will be remembered for the crap pop music, such as katy perry, lady gaga, and the beiber craze.

and the fucking awful autotuner bullshit.

Bands like mumford, the avett's, langhorne slim, appleseed cast, and so on will only be remembered by the fans that love them. which is good enough for me. fuck society's shitty music. I've got mine.

[MrDubstp]

@nickodood not rebeca black... eww

[Amitknight123]

Sincere and genuine…

[UnlikelyHero11]

You can see these guys just love what they do.

[metadude12]

they sound so much cooler live :D

[et2334]

distorted banjo. enough said.

[avatar1fan]

electric banjo is fucking awesome

[calebmatull66]

Tim Tebow.

[AdoptAPet44]

they love their jobs

[carrotsandnutella]

4:26  SHIVERS.

[jheartsa1]

so different from the recorded version, either way they are absolutely amazing and so full of passion

[natchilupin]

oh my God! That's so... I mean... Gosh, it's so fleshy and alive, completely different from the sweet cuddly version I used to listen to. They're even more gorgeous than I thought them to be, and that was pretty much.

[MrDannyGraf]

And what does this video teach us?

ALWAYS WATCH VIDEOS TILL THE END!

Great performance...:)

[benglover4eva]

I'm seeing them in 25 days..they're the reason I live.. <3

[SanyaMae]

Can't wait for their new album...oh man.

[xCarlinee]

I'm not going to shoot the one person disliking it, but I'd just ask him politely to go back to whatever music taste he has. There are too many people lost in this world already.

[jeffrinck146]

Who's the human being who has just as much of a opinion as everyybodyy else who disliked this video??

[kablamaflama100]

@jeffrinck146 Someone who had their computer upside down and clicked the thumbs down thinking it was a thumbs up. I mean honestly, how can you not like this beautiful music?

[jslev78963]

this is incredible

[OpenupyourhearttoGod]

The only band that can have over 60000 views, with only one dislike. This is called music.

[blindboygrunt13]

marcus is one talented musician

[morgieemoo]

he's so goddamn emotional, and it's sooo HOT

[musiclovinggurl123]

He looks so cute with his hair in his face...Rawr :P

[TheCountDougula]

lovin the electric banjo

[zespriAdiction]

the 1 person who disliked this is probably not a lover of the light (vampire??)

[musiclovinggurl123]

Oiii Marcus is just so cute when hes spinning on the chair :P
