his voice is a phenomanon!

just wish that they would play without the violin and cello, just to let the piano be more significant. this and white blank page are awesome!

@Faragnigskni Personally I like the cello & violin on Thistle and Weeds! But if you prefer it without strings, check out my video of Mumford & Sons playing Thistle and Weeds & Dust Bowl Dance at Rough Trade in November 2008. It is in the related videos to the right of this screen. Early performance of both songs.

@SeeGigFilmGigPost I freaking love your vids-especially I Gave You All; the b&w is perfect!!

[SeeGigFilmGigPost]

@guiness76 Thanks! It seems funny now to think that I almost didn't upload I Gave You All because it was soooo grainy. I love the b&w too though, seems to suit the song somehow.

[MatthewMullan]

Excelent, Also.. Do you have any footage of Johnny Flynn from the night?

[SeeGigFilmGigPost]

I wish. Sadly not. I only have the 3 clips posted already.

[MONTBLANCFC]

it makes my soul hurt.

[bynyboop]

yup. My 'new' favourite band.

[ayethen420white]

I can hear some definate Neil Young-vibes. I love his voice. It.... I cant expain... It just does...

what? I dont know! but it does!

[BranberryMuffin]

somehow this song reminds me so much of silverchairs emotion sickness.... it has the same vibe to it!!!

[HM3Giggles79]

@SeeGigFilmGigPost I agree w/o the violin or cello that part would fall a little flat...it drew out the emotions of the song perfectly! Altho I love their music regardless :)

[awsinger1]

Thankyou soooooo much for this.

[1998FuzzBall]

[clllee]

I particularly love when the vocal harmony joins at 2:08

[chicherito14]

I hope this guys never die.

[MeghannPiercy]

I love this song. I wanna learn the piano part! Marcus rocks back and forth like he's got to pee

[NoName21234]

@DaddysLittleGirl4197 I know. this song is so good it is beyond them as individual artists. it's its own seperate...'thing'. it has a life of its own
