i love mumford and sons, this is my fave from the album. i saw them live at hyde park when they were supporting Arcade Fire, they were awesome then too :)
i hate people who point out stupid things and ask for thumbs up or search for attention. but over 1000 likes and under 5 dislikes is seriously impressive! brilliant song, love mumford and sons
I think the poor picture quality lends to the seriousness of the song. I think it represents, the song that is, that there is a fine line between generosity and stupidity.
i was listening to this for the first time and was like oh yeah great song you know starting to tap my foot the usual symptoms and then it got to 1:28 . bloody hell , this song is so rhythmical . its hypnotising , its actually *painfull* to listen to anything other than mumford and sons now .
We've started a youtube channel to get real music back. Our plan is to gain subscribers, and have bands sending us demos. We'll feature the best songs on our channel, so people can stay updated on new bands. we will accept from all genres in order to get new bands signed
Their album is my favourite album EVER and i love every single song! <3 highly recommended to anyone who hasn't already discovered them. Lots of talent and passion in every song.
These guys have such a strong sound. It really envelops you.
I've been trying to model a lot of my music around this sound. If you have a moment, I'd really love to hear what you think-- I have a new music video up on my channel. Thanks!
I love these guys and i love their music. its weird to think Mumford has no mum he seems to understand the female mind enough to rock the female world. Mumford rocks!
By the way - I am livid I could not get tickets to see you guys (MUMFORD & SONS) tickets sold out in 4 minutes for the Dingwall gig, and i was on the dot at 12pm, but still... am upset I could not get to feel this music closer...
@lukereaume I wonder the same exactly thing and im afraid that he is just a douche lying :( .. i really hope he's not because he says amazing things :)
Mumford & Sons and Coldplay are both great bands. But they are nothing alike... I'm not sure who said that but their music, their lyrics, themes... Nothing alike. I love this song so much, by the way.
@isadiee14 This is great music , but to say that people should realize that this is true music is a bit close minded. True music is for the individual to decide. True music is whatever moves you whatever touches your heart or impacts your life in some way, weather it's this, Beethoven or 50 cent.
it must have been what i want heaven to feel like, standing in the audience, listening to this from only a few feet away. lucky i found this. thanks so so much for sharing!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
they are really great, but they are not as good as coldplay! come on! Coldplay is much better. Chris Martin has amazing voice and what is more he sings absolutely the same in reality like on the CD :) M&S have some good songs, but Coldplay's every song is fantastic! :P
he sounds nothing like chris martin... chris martin just tries to be thom yorke, when this guy sings straight from the heart and can sing amzingly live, unlike chris martin.
His voice reminds me more of Dave Mattews but with an awesome folky, lyrical twist to it.
Mumford & Sons are so inspiring, simply beautiful and talented. I'm so happy that a friend showed them to me :) Cant wait for their second album already.
rockinxl - the guys play The Troubadour in L.A. on 9 Feb 2010 & Pop Scene in San Francisco on 11 Feb 2010. Ticket link can be found on the band's website.
@rockinxl the closest I know is Lollapalooza, Chicago, IL @ Grant Park. August 6-8 they play Sunday from 3-4pm (Playstation Stage)...I only know all this because them and the Black Keys (Dan auerbach particularly) are the REASONS, I'll be there!
was just thinking along the same lines while blasting this song in the car on the way home. My thought process was something like this: "He sounds like Chris Martin a bit at times. Well, I guess except with a more powerful, more ... good voice. And the whole 'the band itself isn't shit' thing. Ok, maybe they have absolutely nothing in common with Coldplay except for where they're from."
There is a vocal similarity. Maybe Coldplay have done so well because they've tapped into a desire for music that is vulnerable, melodic, and even anthemic. They've provided this in a shiny, easily marketable way. Whereas M&S go straight for the heart of whatever they're trying to say and are happy if anyone is able to come along with them.
In a way Coldplay has made it easier for bands like M&S to get a chance at proper distribution.
But yeah, both singers have lovely expressive voices.
They sound like dave mathews band

This great song was written about a Landlord who Continually Gave free Beer to the Poor and Needy In his Village.
He was asked by the Local Police to Stop his Kindness because the Excess beer was causing a Crimewave.
The local People had Unwittingly become Alcoholics and Needed to feed their Need so they Broke Into the Landlords Tavern and Stole his Beer.
On one Occasion desperation Forced the Police to Lock Up the Landlord and he was heard Crying" Why do you Hate me I Gave You Ale"
