Mumford & Sons - The Boxer

A great cover of the Simon & Garfunkel classic.

I don't know why people get so butthurt about this. A band liked a song and wanted to cover it. Why does it need to be better or worse when you can just like it or not like it and then stop complaining either way?

I adore this. As a long time Simon and Garfunkel fan and a recent Mumford and Sons fan, I cannot help loving this. Mumford and Sons are just perfect for this song.

I will now obsess over this song forever. That is all.

It doesn't have to be but this just doesn't work for me.

I'm sorry, but why must a cover be exactly like the original? NOBODY will come close to Simon & Garfunkel's original, but this is a nice approach to what is one of the best songs of all-time. Job well done I say.

Fantastic. Just fantastic

Too much country flavor in what is essentially a soft ballad.The lead singer doesn't come close to the perfection of Simon and Garfunkel's delivery.Highly disappointing.

I love Simon and Garfunkel, but this is also pretty amazing(: ...Mumford & Sons definately did this song justice.

[Mike Nikulin]

Never really liked Mumford & Sons, but props for this cover. Really like it.

CHILL will ya, you DON'T have to caps lock every FIFTH word to get your point across.

Plus you're standing up for a country which introduced Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne to the world, so you're argument is, kind of, void.

I should also mention I haven't heard of any English covers of the artists you said.

Seeing as America has six times the population, they do definitely not have six times the talent...

[Kyle James]

Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Dave Matthews Band, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Louis Armstrong ect ect

Now let's see who ripped them off BADLY....Robbie Williams, Olly Murs and Co.

The US invented MANY Musical genres and got many MUSICAL GENIUSES from all over the country.

People who got ripped off by many british artists and most of the time AWFULLY.

So take your anti US propaganda and stick it straight deep into your british snotty ARSE and go back uploading CRAP Vids...

I love mumford and sons...they are such a great band and are amazing live....they did an amazing cover of this song but nothing beats the original...so everyone complaining about it chill out....why can't we all just enjoy the music and save the arguing for something outside of a good video
