Sometimes something just reaches out and grabs you by the shoulders, and shakes you and makes you look and appreciate what's happening. This is just a treasure. Amazing.
WOW!!! I am so glad I stumbled across this video. Simply awesome! A collection of vocal musicians (notice I didn't say "singers") that have a love for the music and a desire to create something amazing. I would love to see/hear this live or at least have them maybe do this on one of the awards shows.
Covers are NEVER meant to compare to the originals. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mumford. And this song. Mumford is full of angry emotion and passion and is just gorgeous. They have super emotion. BUT. This cover is ALSO amazing, as a separate piece from Mumford's original! (and I don't even like country music!) I don't understand how people say there is no emotion. They are COVERING it, so the emotion has changed/transformed. But just LOOK at them sing...SO much emotion. Don't knock musicians!
this is one of those covers that is actually VERY good. I was surprised, cause I'm protective of my Mumford songs lol lol. Rock on Sugarland and Little Big Town!!!
Saw this in Charlotte NC a few weeks ago and all though they have nothing on Mumford and Sons IMOP - It was awesome to see this country power house cover on of my favorite bands.
That was awesome! I love Sugarland and LBT together... fabulous. What talent on that stage! I wish this one would have made it in time for "The Incredible Machine" as an added track on the deluxe album or something. I love it!!
mumford and sons make my life complete. so of course i hear this and say whaaat are they doing destroying my music but honestly this is good i dont like these bands personally but I cant deny that Im glad they can look at bands like mumford and sons and be inspired enough to cover there music. thats my two cents atleast.
I'm not sure if we're watching the same video because all I see is passion!. It's an amazing cover! Is it different than M &S? Absolutely, but it's still great in its own right.
OMG I LOVE these two bands together.. I say they put out a CD of their favorite covers: including LIAMT , WIM and this one... And any ones they want cause I KNOW whatever they record it will kick butt!! Rock on SL and LBT!!! LBT was not in Asheville,NC which ticks me off cause I see what I missed!!:( thank goodness for RUclips.. :)
Great cover of a damn good song by some very talented people in my humble opinion. To all you that say it is awful...you are entitled to your opinion for wrong or right. Its a cover and as we all know, covers are not meant to be exact copies of the original. I personally love their harmonies but then again I am a big LBT fan. Oh by the way..if you google the lyrics...there are at least four different lyrical versions floating out there so lighten up eh?
I was VERY skeptical when I saw the title to this video. I am a huge mumford and sons fan and not a big mainstream country fan. But they really do a decent job.
I see the point, I just find there are certain songs that can't be covered, and I understand it is a sign of respect and lsiten to both of the groups present in the cover, What I am saying is that to me the song will always remian a mumford and sons song and can't truly be covered while capturing the passion in their music
Dylan- actually- what you are seeing is editing. If you'll notice, this one song has them in several different outfits!! I didn't notice it at first. So what you saw was them trying to line up that footage with whichever one night they pulled this sound from.
It's sad that videos like this only have 79k views, while craptastic songs/videos/bands like Nickelback's new monstrosity of a song have 18 million. People really need to get out more...
Since I'm a fan of music in general, and I don't base my judgement off of pre-concieved notions and actually judge by the performance itself, I have to say i like both versions, and both are good. Doesn't matter whos is better. Tehy didn't ruin it, they did a friggin cover. If you were a muscian and you wanted to cover a song you loved, you'd get criticized no matter what.
@BentonOglesby Hm, lack of passion? All I see is passion in these musicians! Sugarland puts heart and soul into everything they sing - grab any of their albums. Personally, I think it's fabulous that they covered this song. M&S was a group I wasn't familiar with at all, but I had a chance to be exposed to their music through Sugarland and LBT. I love this collaboration - here's hoping for many more!
@ Strongbad: I know that. Love Mumford and Sons. These bands performing it here are country. It was a compliment. I don't like Country- but liked this version anyway!
I personally am anti-sugarland. Mumford and sons is one of the greatest bands i have come across and I love them dearly. I watched this expecting to be disappointed and annoyed but this is actually very good and I am so proud of mumford for the recognition that they are receiving.
@ajcoaster Stop being a hater. Why would one talented group (like the Mumford & Sons) complain about another group of talented magicians like LBT (who could sing the phone book in four part harmony) and Sugarland covering their song.
Not lip synced and you hit the nail on the head...the video is from 3 different nights performances and the audio was synced to it..it may not be perfect but they did sing it live...
Sometimes something just reaches out and grabs you by the shoulders, and shakes you and makes you look and appreciate what's happening. This is just a treasure. Amazing.
Absolutely love this cover...I don't understand how you can say there's not genuine emotion in their performance. Brilliant.
I love when you guys do songs together. It always sounds so amazing. :D
i really didn't want to like this. really, really, really. alas, it gave me chills. hats off.
I needed this to be like 5 minutes longer.
WOW!!! I am so glad I stumbled across this video. Simply awesome! A collection of vocal musicians (notice I didn't say "singers") that have a love for the music and a desire to create something amazing. I would love to see/hear this live or at least have them maybe do this on one of the awards shows.
Your voices are like magic together...flawlessly beautiful
Covers are NEVER meant to compare to the originals. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mumford. And this song. Mumford is full of angry emotion and passion and is just gorgeous. They have super emotion. BUT.

All of these collaboration videos are incredible. Amazing chemistry.
They were touring together and one segment of the performances was both groups together...
I knew that they were touring together, but didn't get to see them. Definitely wish I did.
this is one of those covers that is actually VERY good. I was surprised, cause I'm protective of my Mumford songs lol lol. Rock on Sugarland and Little Big Town!!!
wow sugarland and little big town are amazing togather! I hope they come on tour togaher in portland some day!!
Saw this in Charlotte NC a few weeks ago and all though they have nothing on Mumford and Sons IMOP - It was awesome to see this country power house cover on of my favorite bands.
Absolutely amazing so happy I got to see all of you in Cincinnati OH!!
Not a country fan and don't know these bands.
But this was a joyful version!
I enjoyed it!
Love the sounds from this ensemble.
I love that you all look like you are having so much fun!
probably one of the best covers i have ever heard.
Sugarland making a cover of Mumford and sons, doesn't get better than that! :)
I got to see them do this in Dallas! AMAZING!!
I love what this song stands for. And I love that these guys get it.
Thank you for sharing this with us, SL. Big Love!
I have goosebumps, that was wonderful!
I would pay the price for a whole album just for this cover.
I wish I had a speck of the talent I'm watching
That was awesome! I love Sugarland and LBT together... fabulous. What talent on that stage! I wish this one would have made it in time for "The Incredible Machine" as an added track on the deluxe album or something. I love it!!
This is INCREDIBLE
there is [...] an alignment, "A" cry of my heart to see
This is ridiculously amazing!
This is so wonderful. please record this.
please record it!!!!!!!!!!
love this.
i love sugarland and little big town
mumford and sons make my life complete. so of course i hear this and say whaaat are they doing destroying my music but honestly this is good i dont like these bands personally but I cant deny that Im glad they can look at bands like mumford and sons and be inspired enough to cover there music. thats my two cents atleast.
Ridiculously Talented!!! Sugarland, LBT, & Mumford & Sons! Please, Please, PLEASE perform this at the SoundStage performance on Tuesday at The Fox :)
This is two takes (at least!) spliced together. But it’s seamlessly edited and really exciting.
Why have these guys never done a live album? Come ON!!!!
awe-awe-AWESOME.
For all you people hating on this, open up your mind to something other than just the one style you listen to. please and thank you.
Goosebumps!
That was a damn good cover.
This still gives me the chills, the original is so good, but this is better I think. It's just so good
kattekaren let me get some of whatever you’re smoking
I also love how you guys are practicing in a bathroom!
18 people are stupid... This is so good! A great tribute to Mumford & Sons

Love their harmonies..
Amazing Talent!!
I'm not big on country music OR covers, but this isn't half bad. The harmonies are what get me. Nice.
I was VERY skeptical when I saw the title to this video. I am a huge mumford and sons fan and not a big mainstream country fan. But they really do a decent job.

you made this song even better then the original
wow, LBT and sugarland are amazing, they made this a great song.
Dylan- actually- what you are seeing is editing. If you'll notice, this one song has them in several different outfits!! I didn't notice it at first. So what you saw was them trying to line up that footage with whichever one night they pulled this sound from.
that gives singing in the shower a whole new meaning!
singing in the shower! you will never get this kind of caliber anywhere else. everyone cares about one another here. love singing.....WITHOUT AUTOTUNE
The whole southern accent thing just kills it
What fun 😊!
Love it ! :D
was this filmed 2 different nights? because i noticed different outfits. other than that your cover is really good :)
it was already a great song :) M&S are the BEST
@Tustin2121 I have to agree with you. Their version just seems so polished. I for one love their harmonies. But everyone likes what they like right?
oh my god so epic
I like how their on-stage outfits change from shot to shot haha
Chills!!!!!
Thank you!

Ok ok.. I have to say this: I sing with them! LOOL
@ Strongbad:
I know that.
Love Mumford and Sons.
These bands performing it here are country.
It was a compliment.
I don't like Country- but liked this version anyway!
I think you missed the point on this one. The cover is a sign of respect while at the same time well done.
@bulok69 I totally agree with you, but it is a really good polished performance :) they did a great job
It was filmed between two different concerts
their clothing keeps changing
I personally am anti-sugarland. Mumford and sons is one of the greatest bands i have come across and I love them dearly. I watched this expecting to be disappointed and annoyed but this is actually very good and I am so proud of mumford for the recognition that they are receiving.
OH HELL YA!
Nice background ;)
The I love this
Notice how this is from 3 different performances. Their clothes magically change. :)
@Trifecktaify
if you would have seen the rest the concert sugarland, idk about lbt but they put a lot of effort in to their shows
Where can I buy this? WHERE?!
*LIANT
I actually didn't find this boring at all. The first part was kind of slow, but the rest was rather exciting.
@jkeyes7 I couldn't agree more.
The video was made out of 3 different sets of footage, thats why at least 3 of them look like they changed outfits in the middle of the song.
@ajcoaster Stop being a hater. Why would one talented group (like the Mumford & Sons) complain about another group of talented magicians like LBT (who could sing the phone book in four part harmony) and Sugarland covering their song.
This is good, but I guess Mumford and sons' version (or Marcus anyway) touches my heart a little more.
@jakerpbj me either. i did not want to like this. but i do.
Mumford and sons is folk music
this sounds like a glee'd up version of a great song...
Yes, it looks like lip synching at times because this not one performance. Notice how their clothes change from shot to shot?
Not lip synced and you hit the nail on the head...the video is from 3 different nights performances and the audio was synced to it..it may not be perfect but they did sing it live...
a-ma-zing
for the acoustics.
...I have a fever. And the only cure is more banjo...
are they in the bathroom?
Yeah. Probably good acoustics in there or just escaping the noise of the crew setting up.
+Madimo 1 Yep. Best acoustics!
there's something about singing in the showers i guess.... even the pro's do it
@Compass427 Yeah me too. lol
no autotune required...
it is being covered by country bands
@natedoggld182
no, i'm not joking ;) i simply prefer this version ;)
banjo?
Power to Truth NEED MORE BANJO!!
