  • I just watched the movie adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing...had to look this up. :) brilliant.

  • I love the harmony Ben adds in this version.

  • Wonderful!!

    

  • I sort of just discovered that band, and was super excited and bought their cd. Must have listened to it 10 times in a row. I was excited and showed my family who usually has pretty good taste in music. Put on this song and a minute or two in my mom said she hated Marcus's voice. Felt like I was punched in the stomach, guess you can't win them all. But thanks Mumford and Sons, I am forever grateful for your music.

  • @jsndms123

    Many of us have moments, as we grow older, where we go from thinking "if my parents say it, it must be true" to "I've just realised my parents are idiots!" I know I've had mine... that's all I'm saying.

  • lol he makes accordions sexy....

  • this song is my alarm in the morning

  • floored

  • Amazing talent

  • These guys blow my mind; EVERY time I hear them. How is that possible? Every time?!?

  • Thank God for Mumford And Sons

  • Brilliant beyond belief!

  • Perfection.

  • I have such a thing for harmonies in music, and this song pushes all my buttons. They're amazing.

    /watch?v=jIOZipTLUdc&feature=c­hannel_video_title

    Thank you!! :D

    Mumford and sons <3

  • I love how they always sound exactly as they do on the record. that's true talent right there.

  • 3 people are def and blind so they could not see or hear the beauty of love as it was made to be.....

  • I could listen to this for the rest of my life. <3

  • I'm so in love -3

  • I pride my self in not having many regrets in my life. One of my biggest however is having the opportunity to see them before they were to big here in the US and letting it slip through my hands. now there sold out by the time I hear there coming to town. regardless this is my favorite song of your album, you guys freakin rock!

  • if you like the cave check out my bands live cover!!

  • Free Album Download @ PakkOut [dot] com

  • marcus mumfords voice is utterly beautiful !!!

  • @hmsmail you're damn right! lol

    

  • True passion!

  • These guys have definitely become my favorite group lately, their entire album is just perfect and so passionate

  • yes, the need to add to their online shop! I love their logo w/ the horses, I want a hat with that!!

  • Truly extraordinary.....

  • When they all start singing it's utterly remarkable man....

  • marcus needs to bring back the mustache

  • Hammer was die jungx drauf haben

  • I just want to drink and dance.

  • amazing, they sound amazing.... definitely need to check them out live

  • I am so infatuated with this band! I have never been really into music specifically (except for Elvis, can't resist him), never gone to gigs, festivals or what not. Think tickets cost way too much, live performances not being worth it.

    But oh my, what I wouldn't give to see these guys live! They reach straight into my very being, their songs mesmerise me. Never would have thought music could do that to me.

  • @Vexating  I too am a HUGE ELVIS fan....I love these guys...haven't even wanted to see anyone else....so I know exactly how you feel :) !

  • @MLynnJo Great, another Elvis fan :D I wish M&S would add belt buckles to their online shop, so I could give my Elvis one a rest once in a while and wear theirs :)

  • beautiful message, beautiful messengers

  • wow i love Marcus. and Ben's voice is pretty amazing too. i love how close you are to him. i would die to have been there. they are all so talented and awesome. M&S you have my heart!

  • I would give my anthing and everything to see these boys live. Mister Banjo player needs to have a few babes and teach them a thing or two about the sstrings. Im sure I could assist him with that :)

  • I actually love that Marcus' moustache. I love the whole of him. U.U

  • "Love it will not betray you, dismay or enslave you, it will set you free..."

    Stunning words.

  • @Mavrakakis

     indeed. its a Shakespeare quote

  • I thought it might of been actually, thank you for confirming my suspicions!

  • @Mavrakakis no prob

  • @bobsmalls Much Ado About Nothing? I might give it a read! xx

  • One person was so amazed by this songs that he went crazy and missed the like button!

  • Comment removed

  • These guys are great but to say they're the greatest is a lil far fetched. The avett brothers destroy these guys and as a matter of fact the avetts are prob a big influence to these guys. Just sayin

  • this is awesome - but its not acoustice.. hence the acordian, cello, and electric guitar.

  • @toboein bango

  • @keenkp banjo

  • @toboein Maybe you're confusing acoustic with acapella... the fact that acoustic instruments are amplified by the microphones doesn't mean the performance is no longer acoustic (and that's an acoustic guitar, not an electric one).

  • why did you have to say it was acoustic it's Mumford and Son's we know it's gonna be acoustic

  • I think the mustache is sexy. 

  • perfection

  • ok so I have kind of a strange concept for you all.... they are most amazing singers/performers w/out the need for any electronic devices (BURN IN HELL AUTOTUNE) or taped music....that is PURE 100% TALENT!!!!!!!! Which makes them just the best.. Ever. Period.

  • Yay for the mustache! :) and oh man there amazing <3

  • thumbs up .. best song on the album .. easily!

  • im in love  :)

  • Ah Benji. What a lovely voice.

  • I'm lovin the Shakespeare references to Much Ado About Nothing :)

  • @KrayolaKProductions Yeah, Marcus said if you steal from Shakespeare no one will chase you down with copyright issues lol ;)

  • Thankfully Marcus took my Advice after this Video and Lost a Slab of Weight and that awful Moustache!!!

    I told Him he had 'Morphed' into the spitting image of Oliver Hardy!!!

    Everytime he Got Up On Stage the Crowd were wondering where Stan Laurel was!!!

    I was Rewarded By the Band for my Input By having My Eyebrows Removed as I was Deep within a drunken Stupour!!!

    No-one could tell If I was Upset because without My Eyebrows I had No Facial Expression!!!

    They caused me to Sigh!!!

  • @Fryersmuck

    YOU MY FRIEND are an AWFUL PERSON to tell a man to shave. how dare you. If i had a leather glove I'd slap your eyebrows back on

  • @Fryersmuck fryersmuck you are so creative. god damn you

  • @Fryersmuck We miss you... :( Come back!

  • Thank you Mumford and Sons. Simply my favourite song. Perfectly structured and always performed with a passion that cannot be matched. Oh and of course the best line ever written, Man is a giddy thing.

  • This video actually just made me tear up. Amazing.

  • 3 lads from my school say that at our schools christmas carol service :P its a deadly song . :P

  • how can you dislike this?

  • Just amazing. Marcus' mustache, that is. Well done, sir. The song is great too :-)

  • 1 persons finger slipped. How embarrassing. 

  • They may (I hope) win a Grammy , but nothing is more beautiful than 4 souls expressing their souls spontaneously! 

  • I wish I could "like" this a hundred times... love it.!!

  • Incredibly smooth. Great lyrics. Amazing sound. I can listen to them over and over and it never gets old. They make my heart smile.

  • Just saw them in NYC and it was amazing. So weird knowing I was literally able to grab his leg if I wanted to. HAHA! Also funny that theyre using the same instruments. So good!

  • Wow, they are absolutely incredible live. Such a great trait for bands to have.

  • WOW! How did I miss this?

  • what other band will you find nowadays with an accordian? badass.

  • Fantastic!

  • mustache. awesome.

  • Marcus need to bring back the stache

  • A bit like the Stone Roses they have tinked and re-invented the (folk/bluegrass) scene best album I have heard for a while!

  • Over a year now and it still gives me chills

  • They were amazing at Reading festival, they were definitely the best band on Friday night.

  • "But love it will not betray you, dismay, or enslave you, it will set you free." GENIUS!!

  • BEN IS SO HOT!!!!!!!!! Really good band. Hope they are nominated and win best new artist at the Grammys.

  • i love the words to this song. just beautiful...

  • When they begin the build in the lyric "Love that will not betray you, dismay or enslave you it will set you free.." I have this huge desire to dance. People must think I'm loco when they see me in my car, but I can't help it. It is so good!

  • 200th thumbs up!!! 200-0 perfect record!!!

  • love this band but dam am i glad he lost dat tash , lol

  • i live in sweden so it took a little longer time for them to come here but when i first heard them it was like "This is it! This is the music I've been wating for my whole life" ;-)

  • 'love it will not betray, dismay or enslave you it will set you free- the beauty of love as it was made to be'

    my favourite lyric of all time! it speaks an incredible amount of truth

  • epic

  • Honestly so daaamn good. amazing at leeds festival.

  • 1.45....so crisp and clear - quality!!

  • I appluad the excellance these men have. It's about time the world had some passionate talent. I hope these men succed and live long enough to become the greatest band of all time.

  • The same passion for music as Arcade Fire

  • AWESOME

  • My girlfriend defines the man on the right as the most attractive accordian player ever.

  • i'm sooooooo looking forward to see them live in a couple of weeks!!! this helps bridging the time till then.

  • How many people fitted into the venue?

  • @123seanieb

    About 40. Saw them later the same evening in Bath Moles club. M&S twice in one night in two different cities. Not bad.

  • @nicquest deadly!! im dying to see em when they come to Ireland but of course I'm too young to go the festivals! :(

  • You are too young to go the festivals and i am too blooming old! Just shows the power of M&S - they appeal to all ages.

  • @nicquest They sure do! my mam and dad have a small theatre that different groups and bands come to play! you never know, maybe someday mumford and sons will be playing there! :D

  • @nicquest You are never to old to go to festivals and enjoy music !

  • @nicquest just wanted to sat that no one is too old to go to festivals. I am a bit young but still go, and i know loads of people of all ages that go.

    Just keep going and have fun :)

  • they are all so damn talented! and their lyrics are so powerful! i want to marry them all! their music makes me so emotional

  • @123seanieb I'm from Ireland too, but too young to go to the festivals :( Lets hope M&S come over soon :)

  • @Careful278 I was sickened when I couldnt get tickets to any of their shows in March.....some day I'll see them!

  • @123seanieb I couldn't get tickets either :( I was literally in tears like, it was unreal. I dont even care about any other artist all i want is to see these live. Hopefully they will come back over soon :)

  • @Careful278 Yeah, I see that you saw my videos....thanks by the way. Me and my friend Kieran made it our goal to see them..

  • @nicquest your so lucky xxxxx

  • @nicquest See Mumford and sons with only 39 other people? You sound like the luckiest person on this earth!

  • @123seanieb fit*

  • They are just absolutely amazing!

  • ...could someone please explain the song's meaning to me as I'm still clueless. Judging by the comments, it means a lot to people so I would appreciate it.

  • To those who replied to my comment: What I wrote was merely my view of the song and was not intended to offend anyone so sincere apologies if I did. Yes, you are right that I am ignorant in not knowing that the words are from Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing but coming from a family of musicians and being a lover of classical, choral and many other types of music, I'm not sure that I can be classed as not being able to understand good music (and reporting it as spam seemed a little OTT).

  • ahhh they are amazing. there is a cover of this on my page.. :) x

  • I don't want to appear rude but that is the most boring and tuneless song I have ever heard, plus the words make no sense.

    'Man is a giddy thing?'

    'There is a desire, an alignment to cry?'

    And FYI man is a creation, not a 'thing.'

  • @TheNannylauren

    Don't worry, you don't appear rude, just ignorant. "Man is a giddy thing" is from Shakespeare (an English poet and playwright). I happen to think this song is awesome, but I imagine the songs you write must be a lot better.

  • @TheNannylauren your knowledge for good music with heart and passion is quite dismal. you dont understand it because YOU cant. learn to appreciate good music.

  • @TheNannylauren I find that opinion confusing. You speak of man as a creation, which implies that you believe there is a Creator--something you and I have in common. What confuses me is that this song is packed with truth and you think it's boring and senseless. Man IS a giddy thing. Think about what "giddy" means. Also, seeing "the beauty of love as it was made to be" is probably THE key idea in Christianity, a creationist worldview. That line is sung with dynamics for emphasis. Not tunelessly.

  • I liked this video in the first few seconds just from the vocal harmonies

  • i hate the stache.

    also they are amazing.

  • average song up until about 1:30 then it becomes immense !

  • REAL music!!!!!!

  • I absolutely love this band, album and song! I agree with the comments, this is one of the best albums I have bought in a long time. I am sooooo choked I missed them in Vancouver and not seeing them in europe this summer. LOVE Mumford & Sons.

  • Their live performances are so amazing. They sound exactly like the recordings. Possibly better.

  • Friggin aweosme

  • I've been looking for an escape from metal music..and i think i found it :) beautiful song

  • @321zippo123 I've been doing the same thing! cheers! :)

  • Sheer poetry.

  • Best band around by far. Cant wait to see them at Glastonbury :) front row here i come

  • wirklich fantastisch.

  • you guys are great! i love the sound! see you at bonaroo! hopefully

  • There's a certain breed of musician that don't come around very often, but when they do, they go on to be so amazing. They don't make the mainstream charts, but their music is so much better. Mumford and Sons are one of these types. They fit together perfectly and show emotion in their music through their harmonies.

  • This is so fucking fantastic.

    Every once in a while, there comes a song that for whatever reason strikes you and resonates with you, that you end up listening to on repeat for days on end.

    This is one of those songs.

  • @ChrisRedfield I listened to this 8 times in a row once :P

  • he looks terrible with the mustache:o

  • I am a prisoner of their music! What an incredibly gifted band! Can't get enough of them. They just lift my spirits like no other music - what a blast.

  • I wish these guys would come to NZ!

  • these guys are awesome! So so talented

  • Definitely the best new band I have heard for 40 years!

  • Best album of 2010 with out a doubt. Fresh, emotive, intelligent... just bloddy talent... more please.

  • Aaah so beautiful. Even though i know everyword sound etc, i still love it. It just makes me feel peaceful and happy

  • Best live band i've seen in years.

  • the harmonising reminds me of crosby stills nash and young.
