The fact that they made it so huge in this era is amazing. They're an old town string band and they managed to make it impossible not to love their tunes. Marcus Mumford also has an uniquely amazing voice.
I was in the darkest chapter of my life when I first heard "the cave" and that song moved me so much it became my anthem as took back all I lost got clean and slowly rebuilt my life. Saw them in Chicago on the Gentleman of the road tour for my 6th year anniversary of being clean and it was the best show hands down ever.
I remember: December 2012 this song was brand new, my friend Emilio plays it at a juke box at a hole in the wall bar called JD's Saloon we used to shoot pool at and the whole bar was stomping our feet in unison with that kick drum. It was such a time.
Saw this band /live in Bury st Edmunds, 2012, with my husband,and not only were there absolutely brilliant musicians, they can sing too ! They also had alot of empathy for their fans too ! Due to the fact that alot of people were not as fortunate as my husband and I were, to be given VIP Tickets, the band decided, that there were equivallent people waiting outside the theatre as there was inside the theatre watching them, So they went outside after the "Gig" and played live 4 songs to the people waiting in the cold, ! How many Bands would do that for their followers ? mmmm
More artists and bands than you might realise would do that sort of thing. Not to take anything away from M&S for doing that (it's mighty awesome) ... but they're definitely not alone with that kind of appreciation for their fans. Just off the top of my head I can think of both Prince and Eddie Vedder playing regularly for free at schools for the disabled, and I know Tori Amos usually shows up sometime (outside the venue, for free) during the day before a nighttime show to meet fans and sign their stuff (plus she takes requests for songs to cover during her encores in her own special style) ... and those are just the examples I can think of. Variosu artists over the years have thrown together some kind of free (or nearly free) show to play for fans after festivals got rained out too.
Oooo - how the hell did I forget all those sets Johnny Cash played at prisons too ... as have a pretty long line of well-known blues artists over the years :)
Seen them live at Phoenix park in Dublin.. best concert I've ever been to.. the even done a cover of galway girl.. it's on RUclips check it out. Pure class band.
Lyrics! 'Cause I know that time has numbered my days And I'll go along with everything you say But I'll ride home laughing, look at me now Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons And I know their choices colour all I've done But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son I ain't ever lived a year better spent in love 'Cause I'll know my weakness, know my voice And I'll believe in grace and choice And I know perhaps my heart is farce But I'll be born without a mask, woo Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride I stretched my arms into the sky I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl As all we see will slip into the cloud So come down from your mountain and stand where we've been You know our breath is weak and our body thin Press my nose up to the glass around your heart I should've known I was weaker from the start You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part To tear, tear them down Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down 'Cause I know my weakness, know my voice And I'll believe in grace and choice And I know perhaps my heart is farce But I'll be born without a mask
So this is what i love about Mumford & Sons: 1. I got chills everytime i heard their songs 2. I love how the lead singer never stands in front so he can shines and take all of the glory, but instead he stands beside them and sometimes he let them to stand in front of him (can everyonr understand? my english suck. lol)
Damn it's been too long since I have listened to these gentlemen. They're some of the best talent the world has to offer now. Bravo Mumford and Sons. Please keep on writing your own material and proving that this world still has something beautiful left to offer.
Lyrics I know the time has numbered my days, And I'll go along with everything you say But I'll ride home laughing, look at me now, For the walls of my tower they come crumbling down And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons, And I know the choices color all I've done But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son, I ain't ever lived a year better spent in love 'Cause I know my weakness, know my voice And I'll believe in grace and choice And I know perhaps my heart is fast But I'll be born without a mask Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride, I stretched my arms into the sky I cry Babel, Babel, look at me now For the walls of my tower they come crumbling down You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl Is all we see we'll slipping to the cloud? So come down from your mountain and stand where we've been You know our breath is weak and our body thin Press my nose up to the glass around your heart I should've known I was weaker from the start You'll build your walls, and I will play my bloody part To tear, tear them down Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down 'Cause I know my weakness, know my voice And I'll believe in grace and choice And I know perhaps my heart is fast But I'll be born without a mask
The older you get you’ll find that Real Hip Hop music is Rock, Jazz, Afrobeat, Electronic, Soul, Blues, Funk, Reggae, Latin, Folk, Asian, Heavy Metal, Bossanova and a hundred other styles of music in one. Peace
I absolutely love the religious+historical undertones and feel to this song. It makes me want to change my life for the better, admit all my mistakes and love my friends and family harder than ever. I want to wander the fields and the forests near me and find something new.
I freaking love it when he goes "woo!" It cracks me up, they make songs about serious subjects and then just a little "woo!" Ik its dumb but it makes me happy
I think this is the band with the most substance when it comes to music. Actual talent, genius. So so underrated and yet still popular. Cant wait to see them live !
I don't get why is a lot of people complaining that this album sounds exactly the same as the other... so what if it sounds like the other one? that is the style that recognices them, thats the sound I love and that is what they like to do.
Never heard such nonsense, Sigh no more was way better and it doesn't sound exactly the same, of course they have the same style but it's the same damn artists, of course they sound like themselves??
The 4/6 feel is crazy. The first time I heard this I was alright another 4/4 song with a triplet on the fourth beat. But the more I listened to it, I realized it was in 6/8. Love it!
Coming back to listen after hearing them & falling in love with their music 8 years ago and for some reason I stopped listening.. Still SENSATIONAL, like the first time hearing the songs again ❤
I love all genres of rap but seriously give these guys a ton of credit because they are the ones who have the talent to ACTUALLY PLAY THEIR OWN INSTRUMENTS
They look like they're having a blast whilst they're making this video. I also saw the video for "I Will Wait", when they were at Red Rocks, and they were getting into it there, too. That's why their live shows are so electric. When they're enjoying it so much, you can't help but join in the fun. Oh, and in regards to the "hipster" comments; I'm not a hipster, and neither is my dad (heck, he was a "greaser" when he was a teen), and we're both Mumford and Sons fans. He actually made a remark that they sounded like the Everley Brothers and called them the "Mumford Brothers".
does Marcus ever read this ? can you remember talking to a guy at queens hall Edinburgh before you became huge? I told you there and then you will make it you said I dont think so . brill
after a rough day at work I come home put mumford on and in a few seconds I am a happy men again. that's the power of mumford and son's bless them. greetz patrick
This is 100% TALENT. Not just some DJ fool pressing some buttons and getting paid millions of dollars to do something that I am doing right now on my laptop. In this song, there is so much passion in the lead singers voice, as well as the sweet music played no just by the lead singer, but the others as well... Mumford and sons are a proper band.
JayHolyCrapSoAwesome It depends on what DJ we will bring up. someone like David Guetta or Calvin Harris is acceptable, but someone like Major Laser or Route 94, they are both crap.
Press my nose up, to the glass around your heart I should've known I was weaker from the start, You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part To tear, tear them down, Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down
Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down 'Cause I know my weakness, know my voice And I'll believe in grace and choice And I know perhaps my heart is farce But I'll be born without a mask!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
" Press my nose up, to the glass around your heart I should've known I was weaker from the start, You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part To tear, tear them down, Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down " :) Great line
Wha tyou have to appreciate is how many times they played that to get allthsoe different scenes, and put the same energy and emotion into each time for it to blend properly, credit to M&S for that but also credit to the production team who put it together
The fact that they made it so huge in this era is amazing. They're an old town string band and they managed to make it impossible not to love their tunes. Marcus Mumford also has an uniquely amazing voice.

Very few would. They are, indeed, exceptional
Seen them live at Phoenix park in Dublin.. best concert I've ever been to.. the even done a cover of galway girl.. it's on RUclips check it out. Pure class band.
The banjo is an under rated instrument
The songs you can make with them...
And Winston is an underrated banjoist
100%
U rite
Patrick Townsend Oh my goodness yes!
I'm into heavy metal, grunge, thrash and alternative rock as well as blues and country. Mumford encapsulate all genres brilliantly. Great singer too.
Mood
Also a fan of metal and alternative rock, also like folktronica, house, folk and country
Great comment. Couldn't agree more!
Lyrics!
'Cause I know that time has numbered my days
And I'll go along with everything you say
But I'll ride home laughing, look at me now
Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down
And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons
And I know their choices colour all I've done
But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son
I ain't ever lived a year better spent in love
'Cause I'll know my weakness, know my voice
And I'll believe in grace and choice
And I know perhaps my heart is farce
But I'll be born without a mask, woo
Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride
I stretched my arms into the sky
I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now
Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down
You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl
As all we see will slip into the cloud
So come down from your mountain and stand where we've been
You know our breath is weak and our body thin
Press my nose up to the glass around your heart
I should've known I was weaker from the start
You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part
To tear, tear them down
Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down
'Cause I know my weakness, know my voice
And I'll believe in grace and choice
And I know perhaps my heart is farce
But I'll be born without a mask
I love their passion as they play the instruments.
🖤
definitely took 2008 - 2013 for granted... Only now compared to today's shit do I realise how diverse mainstream music was at the time
Word. We never realized that we were living "in the good times" back then...
I really don`t care what anyone says but i think this is one of the best songs ever, simply amazing
Still listening 8 years later?
Literally approaching perfection😃
So this is what i love about Mumford & Sons:
1. I got chills everytime i heard their songs
2. I love how the lead singer never stands in front so he can shines and take all of the glory, but instead he stands beside them and sometimes he let them to stand in front of him (can everyonr understand? my english suck. lol)
ye
+Reiko Misaki lol ya
Reiko your English is perfect and yeah.....
+Suq Madiq thanks~~
+Mike Phillips yayyy!~
This track never fails to bring the house down
Or the wall 🤷🏻♂️
Damn it's been too long since I have listened to these gentlemen. They're some of the best talent the world has to offer now. Bravo Mumford and Sons. Please keep on writing your own material and proving that this world still has something beautiful left to offer.
Same here
The world needs this band back
Lyrics
I know the time has numbered my days,
And I'll go along with everything you say

I ain't ever lived a year better spent in love
'Cause I know my weakness, know my voice

But I'll be born without a mask
Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride,
I stretched my arms into the sky
I cry Babel, Babel, look at me now
For the walls of my tower they come crumbling down
You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl
Is all we see we'll slipping to the cloud?
So come down from your mountain and stand where we've been
You know our breath is weak and our body thin
Press my nose up to the glass around your heart
I should've known I was weaker from the start

And I know perhaps my heart is fast
But I'll be born without a mask
my heart is farce.. hes saying his intentions may not be pure even he thinks they are
Homie got a lot of this wrong
Talking from experience, this is one of the most fun songs to play on guitar
This has to be one of their best songs.
Zarah Geniva Never. Is horrible.
One of them, just go through sigh no more
Who's here still listen this song a masterpiece ❤🔥
Coming from someone who listens to rap, this is actually really good
I wish my friends were like you
The older you get you’ll find that Real Hip Hop music is Rock, Jazz, Afrobeat, Electronic, Soul, Blues, Funk, Reggae, Latin, Folk, Asian, Heavy Metal, Bossanova and a hundred other styles of music in one. Peace
Should make my friends listen to this then
Good music is just good music anyone can appreciate that
@@tsakeboya honestly same
I absolutely love the religious+historical undertones and feel to this song. It makes me want to change my life for the better, admit all my mistakes and love my friends and family harder than ever. I want to wander the fields and the forests near me and find something new.
There should be an award for reviving music, and they should be the first recipients.
real music
I love the passion he uses to sing.
Love this song, absolutely.
I freaking love it when he goes "woo!" It cracks me up, they make songs about serious subjects and then just a little "woo!" Ik its dumb but it makes me happy
i just love the energy in this voice. a blast to hear
These guys are absolutely underrated
How come this song and this band isn't THAT famous? They're one of the best.
One of the best bands ever. Their music, instruments, lyrics, everything.
I think this is the band with the most substance when it comes to music. Actual talent, genius. So so underrated and yet still popular. Cant wait to see them live !
Nearly a decade has passed since this song released but it’s still relevant today. This kind of songwriting is timeless.
I don't get why is a lot of people complaining that this album sounds exactly the same as the other... so what if it sounds like the other one? that is the style that recognices them, thats the sound I love and that is what they like to do.
Never heard such nonsense, Sigh no more was way better and it doesn't sound exactly the same, of course they have the same style but it's the same damn artists, of course they sound like themselves??
ok
K.
O
***** Is it Sarcasm?
real music just some guys and their instruments and voices what more could you want its how music should be humanities greatest invention!
too bad music is subjective and many people will disagree
+Maxwell Dendter Amen.
Maxwell what a pointless comment lol
So many instruments , so many WINS!
Mumford & Sons is just how I roll..
These guys are the best thing to happen to the music world...
ummm ... don't think so. They really are awful
@@yahs808 and yet you're here
@@yahs808 shut the hell up bro
Im not kiddin', this song so fuckin' GENIOUS.. Can't stop to hear this..
Fell BACK in love with song in 2024. I would do anything to be able to see this song live.
And this my friend, is what we call Mumford and Sons ... ❤️
I wish they would go back to this style music!
J
pressed my nose up to the glass around your heart...
Kenny Douglass
i should have known...
Yeah, that made me feel somethig
The best song from Mumford and sons. I became a fan of this band after listening to this song.
and if I feel melancholic.. i listen to them, and if I feel great.. I listen to them. this is the good thing!
All I want for Christmas is the existence of more bands like this one, they're magnificent 🙏
One of the greatest bands, and one of the greatest songs.
the way he carries the guitar in the end is so badass
Cause I know my weakness, know my voice,
And I'll believe in grace and choice
Mumford and sons are just awesome great music that just gets you in the mood every time you hear them
The 4/6 feel is crazy. The first time I heard this I was alright another 4/4 song with a triplet on the fourth beat. But the more I listened to it, I realized it was in 6/8. Love it!
Coming back to listen after hearing them & falling in love with their music 8 years ago and for some reason I stopped listening.. Still SENSATIONAL, like the first time hearing the songs again ❤
I love all genres of rap but seriously give these guys a ton of credit because they are the ones who have the talent to ACTUALLY PLAY THEIR OWN INSTRUMENTS
My friends call the banjo the 'country sounding guitar', the cello the 'big violin'.
Yea lol theres no cello a chello is a much smaller instrument or am i wrong too. (Slightly bigger or smaller than the violin)
Ashley Wong dat is'nt a cello its a double bass...
Ashley Wong "A Banjo: A guitar whose parents are cousins" - John Oliver
+Ashley Wong The "Country sounding guitar" you hear in westerns is actually just an Acoustic guitar with the player using a slide.
thats an upright bass, not a double or a cello.....
He plays the living he'll put of that banjo. Great song
They look like they're having a blast whilst they're making this video. I also saw the video for "I Will Wait", when they were at Red Rocks, and they were getting into it there, too. That's why their live shows are so electric. When they're enjoying it so much, you can't help but join in the fun.

This song has honestly changed my life and I feel that this is the best Mumford and Sons song ever.
This is littarly the best music to listen with family and playing cards at home
00:43 "There goes my string"
Good catch man!
wow i didnt see that until i played the video again
Did Marcus say that?
@@tabithaclapton6958nope
I am so addicted to M&S's! This is insane, unreal! Love it!
Wish I was in their concert right now. Can't stop tapping my feet, nor nodding my head while listening this...Can't stop the feeelin' !!!!
"I stretch my arms into the sky"
This song is what keeps me sane.
didn't realise how much power a song could have until now.
My mom played one of these guys songs and they’re now my new favorite band
Yessssss!..Music is alive and well AGAIN!!
I KNOW THAT TIME HAS NUMBERED MY DAYS AND I FLOW ALONG WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAY 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
So powerful. I had only heard a couple songs by them, but I decided to listen to more of their songs... I am NOT disappointed. They are beautiful
Marcus strums so damn aggressively. Its great.
I can't wait to see them tonight!!!!
This song live its the greatest ever
Mumford & Sons is one of my absolute favorite bands:)! They have so much passion and speak the truth of our hearts that we are too afraid to say.
I have spent the past hour trying to find this band and this album happy I was finally able to remember them, brings back my teenage years
Never stop saying you are a inspiration to me you brought me out of my darkest days thank you
These guys love their music, it is a nice thing to see
great song! from Florence, Italy
Beautiful as always
Gotta love Winston on that banjo ^^
I've listened to this song like a thousand times now!
I miss their banjo! This song will always be one of my favourites for the banjo!
THIS IS MUSIC!!!!!!!
No, this is Patrick.
Jaime Durban and the other three;)
My little brother, my bf(also his cuz), my mum, my dad and I all love your music
does Marcus ever read this ? can you remember talking to a guy at queens hall Edinburgh before you became huge? I told you there and then you will make it you said I dont think so . brill
White lion bar
These guys jam super hard. I love to listen to their music while trying to come up with design concepts.
I always get that "YES!" feeling at around :45 when Marcus jams on his guitar so hard that he pops a string on camera. So much passion.
Who could thumbs down this?!?!
Wow ! This is music, I thought we've stopped few years back, so reliving
after a rough day at work I come home put mumford on and in a few seconds I am a happy men again.
that's the power of mumford and son's bless them.

I love Mumford too. However i also love dance music and by saying what some Dj's do is not talent is wrong
JayHolyCrapSoAwesome It depends on what DJ we will bring up. someone like David Guetta or Calvin Harris is acceptable, but someone like Major Laser or Route 94, they are both crap.
+5M1THY lmao! your opinion is so delusional. once you mentioned Guetta, your opinion is trash.
Such a bullshit thing to say, if it's that easy you go make 10 million, after all it's only 'pressing buttons'. Shut the fuck up you fool.
+JayHolyCrapSoAwesome haha wow this is ignorant
SO MANY DRUNKEN NIGHTS PARTYING AND LISTENING 2 THIS
Legend has it that if you listen hard enough, you can still hear the music being played in the building.❤
Press my nose up, to the glass around your heart
I should've known I was weaker from the start,
You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part
To tear, tear them down,
Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down
I love this song so much.
It always makes my bones vibrate.
It's so visceral!
Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down
'Cause I know my weakness, know my voice
And I'll believe in grace and choice
And I know perhaps my heart is farce
But I'll be born without a mask!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

most influential artists of 2013
David Farrell and of all time it's 2018 now and they still inspire me
All of their songs are about history that's so cool!
one of the greatest bands ever....
love the way this song just takes off, and then falls again...only to fly again!!!
Saw them live back in 2013. One of my first concerts, they put on such an epic show!!!
Feel the passion, I sure do! 💖
these guys are amazing! Best music these days seems to come out of south africa.
They went to South Africa and made music with some groups there! Check out johanessburg!
you just can't beat this
AMAZING BAND 😎 MUMFORD AND SON'STOTALLY AWESOME SONG 💓👍 THIS BAND😊!!!!!!!
This song makes me feel sad and then hopefull. And I just love it :D
Wha tyou have to appreciate is how many times they played that to get allthsoe different scenes, and put the same energy and emotion into each time for it to blend properly, credit to M&S for that but also credit to the production team who put it together
i just felt in love with this marvelous band and especially with this song "Babel"

It`s been year i left this comment, and I still stick to it, this song is greatest creation for my ears!
