Mumford & Sons ft. Johnny Flynn - Banjolin Song / Awake my Soul

[YaYaMediaManic]

This is breathe taking :D 

[xSONNYx1000]

Mumford and Sons' music makes me so damn happy. If I could pick a band to score the soundtrack to my life it would be these bros.

[thomhwashere]

This is some good god damn music.

[FreedomThinkerKnight]

They are just awesome. Merci pour la version francais.

[kCallisch]

just knowing that they can play that kind of music on the spot blows my mind.

[zz904zz]

6 people didn't think they could be loved again :/....but over 2000 were glad to be themselves and use their hearts once. Over 2000 people decided to be a man/woman and love the person they adore :)

[HiyoruMikiyazoya]

ahhhh that moment in life when the thing that you have becomes the thing that you want

[Superchicka8]

I love that little nod Marcus gives to Johnny after "Banjolin Song". He's like "This is how we make and perform our music, pretty awesome eh?" At least that's how I interpreted it. :)

[MrLooopen]

This is alright. If you want to see the real deal check out The Felice Brothers, that's Felice not Avett.

[thestormsguardian]

I think it says something for the song and Mumford and Sons that they can change parts to French on the spot and doesn't have any sort of negative effect on how it sounds.

[HilJCus]

awake my soul and timshel..#BEST!

[terrybriody]

Typical arty French to invite them into her little yard - nice woman.

[mtbking02]

Real music with real instruments is so refreshing to hear

[MarleyHarper]

Everyday I add one viewing to this video, or maybe two or three . :)

[Maka1993]

Lucky Frenchwoman. :)

[mowipikre]

this is so beautiful to me

[DrewRyalsByrnes]

I wish Johnny Flynn would just join them full time!

[mrpunchy222]

what instrument is the lead singer playing?

[killingspeedrun]

@mrpunchy222 Mandolin,my good friend.

[thedeafandconfused]

why am i not that lucky woman????????????

[pageturner242]

JOHNNY PLAYS VIOLIN?!

[ameloudi]

give me goosebumps 

[96emilymarie]

Omg Marcus sounds so sexy singing in french!!! :D

[Jonasfan08]

I feel a lot better listening to this after crying over a great book. :)

[thekevorchestra]

I also want Mumford and Sons AND Johnny Flynn to play to me while I smile standing in my porch.

[shutupdeanna]

this is perfect

[LaughterShakesTheSky]

This sound makes life feel good!



[JordanHillification]

how... who..... WHAT? 6 PEOPLE DISLIKED THIS?!

[LastFrames]

Amazing, one of the most powerful video I've ever seen.

[hasyaxo]

Ted just can't help it

[zaschaelena]

These are real musicians. I'm glad they still exist. :)

[conorzzy]

That whole generation of London folk scene musicians is incredible. Together with Laura Marling, and Johnny Flynn they all inter-wind, playing together and doing covers of each others songs, and doing things like this, most them can play at least three instruments, it's brilliant. Real music if you ask me.

[jknewcastlelol]

@conorzzy I agree, but they don't call it a 'scene', they just happened to pick out their parent's records all about the same time.

[conorzzy]

@jknewcastlelol Oh I agree, I was just trying to find a term. It's true, they don't like labeling it, and rightly so. I've watched endless interviews of them all, and they all outline the same thing with that, in the words of Johnny Flynn, they're 'just people who are doing what they're doing'. That's what's so great I guess.

[ceciliaog]

I so wish I was that lady!!!

[JamieMiss1]

the second song.... changed my life.

[xtracerbulletx]

Talented and awesome.

[zombieshuffle666]

And I fell in love with this band all over again.

[kiddwiffplugs]

Marcus Mumford's voice !!! <3

[dancerox258]

that lady is so lucky Johnny Flynn and Mumford and Sons! it does not get much better than that they are both so amazing

[SunFlower29100]

Where was it filmed?

[JohnnyLop87]

@SunFlower29100 i guess in......France?

[ghostie7790]

lol His brittish accent is so strong.. even i can tell that he said "Wi" wrong. (At the end). He said it like "weh". lololol

[birdschainedtothesky]

@ghostie7790 the way he says it is a more causal way of saying "oui" (spelled ouais) :)

[Lotrfan99]

@ghostie7790 his pronunciation of oui is more colloquial. oui is proper whereas ouias is used in a more non-formal setting.

[babyindiann]

imagine walking down that street and just stumbling upon this, you'd think you'd died and gone to folk heaven

[MrThomas75]

This woman doesn't seem to realize how lucky she is...

[deedledorph]

I never thought Marcus could get any sexier. Then he started singing in French.

[PokemansAtTheDisco]

I was struggling to hold back tears of joy at around 2:15

[florencedarling]

Wow... I'm in love <3

[polarapes]

i guess i'm dead .. this is paradise

[HelloLava]

I would give anything to be that woman.

[xhanzybamx]

johnny flynn rocks that fiddle

[JAIMEDANSERDISCO]

@BarrowmanGeek

If I'm not mistaken, the lyrics are:

Dans ces corps, nous vivons ( In these bodies we will live)

Dans ces corps, nous mourons ( In these bodies we will die)

Où tu mets ton amour, tu mets ta vie ( Where you invest your love, you invest your life)

Reveille mon âme ( awake my soul)

[JAIMEDANSERDISCO]

@JAIMEDANSERDISCO Listened to it again... tis nous vivrons... nous mourrons...future tense. haha..

[ScarbroughsaurusRex]

@JAIMEDANSERDISCO

yeah pretty close. mets is literally 'put' but i think it works just fine there.

thanks for the rest!

[JAIMEDANSERDISCO]

@ScarbroughsaurusRex  I wasn't translating the lyrics. Haha, if I did, I wouldn't use the verb mettre. I was writing what I thought I heard him sing... and put the original English lyrics in parentheses. ^-^ Merci!

[MarjoleinBOEM]

I love how he smiles in the beginning. <3

[WEAREANIMALS]

I watched this video and heard reveille mon ame before I listened to awake my soul, and I have to say I like the french version better! it's so romantic and beautiful en francais <3

[coleallclassy]

half of these views must be from me.

[ericawazhere]

2:17 my god, the voice!



[LanceSeraniTheseira]

If they made that much noise behind my house everyday I'd leave biscuits and milk out for them.

[TheSpaghettata]

i would have kidnapped them all if i was that woman..and then..i would have forced them to play for me..everyday!!!

[yayinay]

@TheSpaghettata I would like to do the same, they are more than amazing ...

[Homgzrave]

i saw them at bonnaroo and the sheer passion they have for writing and playing music that matters is absolutely outstanding, they are so in love with music it's inspiring. this band makes me feel things i didn't know i was capable of feeling.

[itsben674]

All of them play instruments without looking at music to read, Marcus has a wonderful and such a soulful voice..and they are a band who sing because it's they're passion..not because it will get them money and wealth..and a bonus..this is prove that they can sing in french! Ahhh bliss.

[itsben674]

WHY CANT I BE THAT WOMEN?

[HRedshaw1]

I. LOVE. THEM. ALL. 

[mangamania200]

im so jelous of that french woman right now!!!

[mfole21]

i wish mumford and sons would walk into my alley and play for me..

[Rosie081707]

omg! He can speak FRENCH?!!?! *swoon* I swear if I ever saw Marcus Mumford in person my ovaries would explode and I would die on the spot. lmao <333333

[hichimichi]

i would kill to have these guys just randomly show up outside my house!

[crnani]

no 720p for seafty reasons.

[kilair182]

♥♥

[iv5620]

i love mumford and sons and johnny flynn equally. i think you should just listen to their music and appreciate or move on, without questioning who's "bigger" or whatever. it's probably just due to circumstance that mumfords are better known than johnny flynn, and i doubt johnny really minds, he has a big dedicated following anyway. ok moving on from my opinion, I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH!

[jadorevangogh]

Oh my gosh, Marcus Mumford singing in FRENCH!!!

[kibhr]

@jadorevangogh oui - oui sa magnifique?

[mrgoldenbird97]

Im glad im taking french classes..

[yaretzi1511]

I read the title and had a spontaneous orgasm

[CallMeMantou]

@yaretzi1511 too true. two of my favourite bands

[caraszmatic]

4 people have no soul to awake.

[HSftw100]

Their harmony is incredible!

[desabell815]

This is uh-maz-ing!!! Makes my heart happy =)

[THEbassist1234]

These guys are so cool. <3

[kirstykustard]

*French Accent*

'Ok let's go!'

[hertz688]

how does this not have more views - i've been watching this video from time to time for a few months! it never seems to lose it's magic.

[mumraaaaa]

Johnny Flynn has more talent in his little finger than the entire Mumford lot have collectively, and has more natural style and posture than they could ever dream of having. They're not even in the same league. A gifted and genuine songwriter, and a bunch of pseudo folk scene monkeys playing predictable, meaningless, soulless shite. The fact that he supported them is a joke.

[MrIcarusflysagain]

@mumraaaaa Must admit I agree in part with you. Although I don't dislike Mumford & Sons, I'm surprised they seem to have broken through before Johnny Flynn. I also like Laura Marlin, but once again feel that Johnny has more talent - their is something special about his songs and his voice. Muscus Mumford;s vocal style sounds a bit, I dunno, contrived in some way, like it isn't natural.

[mrspaix]

@MrIcarusflysagain don't agree, sounds ver natural voice !

[cboyle1905]

@mumraaaaa Snap out of your hipsterism.

[deeproots2010]

@mumraaaaa i dont see you on the screen ya duch

[jknewcastlelol]

@mumraaaaa I went on that tour, and I must disagree with you. I love Johnny Flynn and all, and he was surprisingly good and warming, but he couldn't create the sheer electric atmosphere that Mumford could. You can probably blame them for their lack of musical and lyrical skill, but they can get a crowd jumping and having the best time of their life in minutes.

[phriesen]

@mumraaaaa thanks for sharing. we now all know how much better you are for holding that opinion. you come across as a bit of an elitist, and its annoying as fuck.

[mumraaaaa]

@phriesen elitist how?

[rmorrow1989]

@mumraaaaa Johnny Flynn better than Mumford & Sons? Are you on crack?

[wahay636]

@rmorrow1989 It's a legitimate opinion to have...just because Flynn refused to sign onto a record label that took away production rights, like Mumford did, it doesn't mean he's any worse a musician. I'd rather have Flynn's talent.

[tpheil34]

@wahay636 and just because Mumford signed with one doesn't make them any worse

[wahay636]

@tpheil34 True, but it does devalue their credibility as musicians.

[pjt1996]

@rmorrow1989 haha totally agreed, mumford are the freshest band in the world right now, and the haters saying they're good at creating an atmosphere but have no talent are talking bollocks, all 4 have 4x the amount of skill than Johnny Flynn, and i like him, thats how great mumford and sons are.

[rmorrow1989]

@pjt1996 Same, I REALLY like johnny flynn too, he's got so much talent, and I realise music is based on peoples opinions etc etc, but what that mumraaa person was spewing out was just pure garbage. How can you say that mumfords stuff is souless?! Unreal.

[ferguson543]

@mumraaaaa Actually you are a joke. If you were to talk to Johnny Flynn, he would say that Mumford and Sons inspire him, and vice versa. Why do you think they are playing together in this video? They both have the same appreciation for music, and therefore want to create something beautiful like this video. Mumford and Sons are very unique, and no wonder they are one of the most popular bands in the world right now. If you weren't so narrow minded, maybe you would see that.

[beJOYfulyo]

@mumraaaaa He supports them because he's friends with them.

[anitaeopipi]

3 people have no soul.

[Nvsion07]

stumble to find any truth in your lies

[sugarnspicetv]

ddnt even know this song exsisted !!! xxx

[tosserin]

theeeeeeere's Johnny

[amandinesitael]

The initial song had me falling in love with the band, this French version just sent me to Nirvana... Réveillez mon âme quand vous voulez lads! ;)

[thesunflowerwarrior1]

wat language r they singing in awake my soul?? this is definately not the way im used 2! CHEEZUS! lol, still luv them :3

[KyleBowman123]

@thesunflowerwarrior1

Ils parlent le français

[rory12345g]

@thesunflowerwarrior1 French.

[thesunflowerwarrior1]

@rory12345g ah... thts wat i thot, lol... thx 4 assuring my guess :3

[selisek13]

wow - this gives me butterflies ! <3

[thesunflowerwarrior1]

@selisek13 ikr!? omg, LUV mumford and sons!

[thiscalculation]

OMG



[musicisinmeforever]

Those five guys sound like more than five voices and less than five voices at the same time. Magical and purely amazing.

[piccamumford]

Ahhhhhhh! Don't I wish I was that girl... <3

[LTSalz002]

It's truly a mystery how this video has such few hits

[nicksterdatrickster]

listen to this everynight before i go to sleep.. does wonders

[nyb3017]

Real music !!!! 

[museandstone]

I wouldn't just be saying 'Bravo!' If Mumford and Sons and Johnny Flynn were serenading me outside MY window!

[SssandraK]

@museandstone I would probably be more like ".........FUCK YEAAAAH !". Hahah.

[Zakhar10203]

1:00 always impresses me in this video. That cannot be 5 people.

[maxandjulie2008]

@Zakhar10203 goosebumps!

[awsinger1]

Wtf? 3 dislikes?

Sure, some people are interested in different styles of music but it is impossible for this video not to make you smile. Even if you hate mumford and sons and love justin beiber, this video must still bring happiness to everyone.

Except those three emotionless loosers.

[Zeclan48]

I would have parachuted out my window at them.

[heartdrama09]

I don't know how she plays so cool...if it was me i would probably have fallen out of the window from excitement!

[MissStevie123]

If i was her, i would simply run out of my house and kiss them.

[machdiehl]

this is amazing.

[lilhoodah]

british dudes. singing in french. playing instruments. too. much. hotness.

[Ytih21]

There's some progress to be made in french :p

I had to read the comments below to find out they were saying "Réveille" !

[awsinger1]

holy fuck. eargasm.

Johnny should join mumford and sons

[awsinger1]

holy fuck. eargasm.

[iv5620]

i love at around 3:12 when the girl lowers her camera and like frowns then smiles like she's realising how lush the song is. mega jealous of her.

[museandstone]

If I casually glanced out of my window and saw Mumford and Sons and Johnny Flynn, I believe I would just faint. Or believe that I can have gone insane. Because reality can't be that beautiful!

[goodsirphelps]

Can you believe how awesome that must have been to look out your window and bam, it's just mumford and sons AND Johnny Flynn!! That would be a dream!

[graceandheidiinlove]

Nothing sexier than french speaking folk instrument playing men.

[MusicGivesmeasmile]

THIS music is REAL music. REAL music makes the DIFFERENCE. Thanks to those awesome artists for making the difference.

[Poky789]

At the end, does anyone know which chords Marcus is playing on the mandolin? I've got everything else down, I just can't tell what he's switching to at the end. Thanks in advance. :D

[chordacrosstheriver]

@Poky789

Can you give me the chords? Would be great.

[ToTheFaceHa]

Is that laura marling in the window?

[awsinger1]

@ToTheFaceHa No I dont think so Hahaha!

[tinpanalley89]

what model of rayban sunglasses Marcus is wearing?!?!?

[letuslove16]

@tinpanalley89 i do believe they are the clubmasters

[tinpanalley89]

@letuslove16 ty :)

[TheLillyGee]

Holy shit. This is awesome.

[srwa0061]

Sing a French song to a French woman...just got added to my bucket list.

[RebuildYourHeart]

OMGOS-- I LOVE THIS

[madmadhatterful]

i fucking love johnny flynn

[baileemekenna]

this is considered folk music. amazing hypnotizing folk music. i didnt think i could love them anymore than i did... i was wrong.

[amandinesitael]

@baileemekenna : totally agree!

[GCOOPS16X]

banjo's weren't cool before mumford<3

[photoluver89]

gaaah! how is it possible for this song to be even better??! every time i listen to this i fall even more in love!

[underrunhm]

just your every day alt rock band - sporting a banjo, an accordion, a cello and a mandolin (and thx to Johnny for adding in a violin)

[Zakhar10203]

This video makes me happy in ways unexplained..

[awsinger1]

Wow. So much talent

[aducale]

This is amazing! I would die if this was happening behind my house!

[WebsterCody99]

Why in the right mind disliked this :( i think the mouse slipped and they clicked the wrong one :(

[h4un1]

man, every time i hear this... i can't even describe the feeling. 

[DPSSProductions]

@h4un1 You get that tingly feeling too?

[h4un1]

@DPSSProductions Every time I hear it, never fails!

[animepl0x]

My favorite English men <3

[IrishlyMad]

this is all i can say

[birdcalledhope333]

what I would give to have these five men sing to me outside my window...
