My daughter took me to their concert for my 38 th birthday...It got us through some tough times.... she's been gone 4 months now.24 and gone way too young...I miss you Shelby.
my hear goes out to you brother. Lost my brother when he was a few hours old, people say "you didnt know him it should hurt less" but that aint how it works. i think of all the things we could have done the places we could have seen, the things i could have taught him. over the years i learnt the only way to cope is to live your life well. if your ever unsure of something, do it.
What I love most about this song is how it gets increasingly hopeful. It's all calm and somber at the beginning, then the notes keep rising, and at the end it's almost happy.
I listened to this at work in a charity shop, when I was in a domestic abusive relationship, which lasted 5 years. I've just come back to listen to this 5 1/2 years after leaving him, now married to my new partner, happy, free and far away from my ex, living a beautiful beautiful life. Thank you Mumford and Sons - you formed part of my prayer with this song and helped me and my daughter escape.
This song reminds me of one of my closest friends from middle school. Our marching band played on stage with them at SXSW in 2011 and 2012. I never actually got to go, but after he killed himself in 2015, I wound up listening to a lot of Mumford & Sons. Especially this song. I miss you, Nolan.
this is that vibration that my soul unwillingly recognizes as the sillouet of itself in another form, free of shame, pride, and matter as a whole. this is like a chant, a spell binding myself to myself, a calling for my soul to fulfill a promise to my heart.
Turn my back from my recent disgrace and give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light.... These are the word's that brought me back from the depths of the worst of all drug addictions and in to the arms of the good Lord. They did did lead me south from that place where my children came to hear me roar. These men have been annointed in their music and are an inspiration to many. God bless your precious heart's.
I'll be honest; I only knew Mumford&Sons since "I Will Wait" came on the radios, but since then I've been searching their songs like crazy. This song was the second I listened to, and I've been listening to it every day on my iTunes. It makes me relax, and just because the voice is strong, but also broken. It's been a while since I've been listening it on RUclips, but seeing the lyrics makes me think about my life. Thank you Mumford&Sons for making me relax and love music more and more.
this song reminds me of my dad who left me,my mum and my brother 2 years ago and we think of him as a ghost that we knew and this is our song to him and because of munford and sons i have been able to get through tough times.
I was in so much pain 6 years ago from bullying. Hearing this song now, it makes me feel so happy that I got of there and that I’m still here not more broken than I was.
Showed this song to my friend Jacob when I was training him at work. He was a drug addict and flatlined three times from three separate overdoses. He met a girl named Haley and because of her, he got off the drugs and hasn't looked back. He cried because it hit him so hard. We drove around and must have listened to the song about 10 times in between jobs.
This was my wife and i’s wedding song. One of my most cherished memories was coming down to two songs to pick before the wedding and having my mother listen to both, we both broke down crying when she heard this. She has since passed and now is a ghost that I knew.
what i got from the whole Babel album was a man that wanted to be with someone but was constantly being knocked back and his attempts to get the one he wanted.
Seen these when I was 29 in 2009 when they were playing at universities in the UK as an unknown band. How their music has stayed with me through those good and bad years of my life. Phenomenal ❤
I honestly hate that people only noticed their song this year, 2022, when this song exists and it's been here long ago. The song is so beautiful, it deserves more attention than "I will wait" if I'm honest.
This song which was shared with me by a very dear friend, brought me back from the brink of madness of addiction and the most unhealthy relationship that one could ever imagine. I think I met and fell in love with the devil. She tried to destroy and kill me, or was it me? I will never know what happened but this song helps me come to terms with and let go of it a little bit more everyday. I try to share it with others I come into contact with who go through the same experiences to give them strength to carry on with these struggles. God bless these guys and their inspirational lyrics and beautiful music.
I am so sorry for your loss. I have had a similar experience, and this song speaks to me because of it as well.... My heart goes to you. I wish you all the peace that may be wished.
The pain and the loneliness of life still haunt me now that you have gone the pain grows harder each every other day but they say time heals a broken heart i wonder..
Thank you that someone finally understands me and what I've been through and true pain and what it's like to be broken and to begin to heal. Thank you for hope.
mumford & sons= best music for any situaton! if I'm happy, Mumford & Sons. if I'm sad, Mumford & sons. if my friend was a little down, tell her to stick Mumford & sons on, and give her over-the-internet therapy. Best music EVAR!
The war was finally over. The little boy headed to his bunks, and gathered his things. He looked around and saw all the wounded laying in their cots. He noticed something though. They were smiling. Smiling that all the hell they had just gone through was worth something. And the little boy knew it. He didn't need to ask. For he felt the very same way. At the age of 14, he was drafted to fight. He was taken from his parents, sister, and most terrible of all, his dog. His little white, scruffy, dog. He loved that dog more than anything. Every day he would go outside and play with it, bit the dog was old. By now, he expected, his poor old dog was already dead. So, the boy gathered what little belongings he had left, and set out to, well, wherever he may go. He said his goodbyes to his few friends, and left the camp. The boy was 17 now, without any idea where he was, or where his family may be, if they were alive. The young man had enough rations to last for about a week, but not any longer. The boy had suffered a serious injury that left his left leg incapable of very much movement. He was hit with a price of shrapnel from a mortar, and just narrowly escaped death. But now, the boy didn't know what he was going to do. So he headed west, without the slightest notion of where he would find water or food for the journey. After about 3 days, the boy reached a city. Except this wasn't any city. This was his old hometown. Except there was one big difference. The place was empty. From what he could tell, the place had been bombed. He made his way down the familiar street he used to live on. His friend Jason used to live in a house across from his. And he knew all too well that Jacob was dead. As he neared his old house, he heard a light clicking noise. Before he realized what had just happened, it was too late. He had stepped on a mine. He didn't even feel the blast as he was flung into his back yard by the force of the explosion. As he lay on his back, struggling for air, he heard a noise. He forced himself to look over, and what he saw astounded him. Heading over to him, panting with a floppy red tounge, was his old white dog. Except the dog seemed brighter than usual. In fact, the dog looked almost like a beacon of light. He was overjoyed to see the dog. He forced himself up in what little of his body he had left, and crawled up to his old pal. He felt with his bloodied hand the soft fur of the dogs ear. And then he remembered. Remembered when life, was, well, life. He remembered playing out in his backyard, waiting on mom to call everybody in to eat. He remembered dad sitting at the kitchen table, drinking his coffee. And yet here he was, petting the same old dog from his childhood. And all the while, the dog seemed to grow brighter. Finally the boy could not resist any longer. He pulled the dog closer, and gave in to the bright light that was his dogs fur.
My friend luke showed my Mumford & Sons 3 years ago. I didn't cared much, but when it became more known to people, I started listening. I should've done that before this. I mean listen closely.
They are! They can get a crowd of thousands dead silent with only one song, just to get everyone dancing 2 minutes later! They are awesome!!! I've seen them in Belgium a few weeks ago
"You stood beside my hope torn apart". The STANDING is the focus not the hope. the standing is the acceptance. You cant do anything but stand and accept.
I lost my brother in July and then a life long friend in September and then my Best friend in February I found this song and it helped me music is all I have it’s the best medicine 😇😇😇😇😇
This was played at my brothers funeral… nearly a year ago…. I heard it but my head was so fucked… i couldn’t listen…. I knew this was the song… haven’t had the strength to listen to this Til today ….. very beautiful…. I miss you bro taken way too fucking soon man 03.08.90 - 15.12.2021 x

To @TheMacocko, this is my opinion: the song talks about a married couple, that had problems in their marriage and they decide to divorce but in midnight the wife dreams that her soul went out and traveled to their past to see their good tomes and to convince her not to divorce. she is afraid of that travel and she (the wife) explains in the first paragraph why she wants to see their past. and when she says "But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view and will live a long life" is when
the person who helped me like this is gone now, but ill always be in love with him . I wished you would have stayed eli, you are my angel. I love you forever and always

This music makes me feel worse, but it feels good to know im not the only one thats lost someone they abtually cared about. the worst part for me is no knowing if she even cared back. if she even cared back at all. theres not drink or drug ive tried to ease the heartache and thats the truth.... ive tried alot too believe me
All I think about is Signless or by then known as the Sufferer and just ughhhhh. Mumford and sons songs remind me so much of Signless, Disciple, Psiioniic, and Dolorosa.
I am writing a book as well and this song is perfect for it. Even down to the whole turning south part. It's almost like they were right there in my head. Somewhat creepy. Best wishes for your writing!

Today I buried my mother. And as a farewell I used this number. Had honestly never heard of this group. But have become a fan forever.
I lost my Beloved Brother Dec 29, 19. Made sure Beloved was played for the closing of his celebration of home going 💖 Jonathan Hutchison
I hope you are doing better today Peter

I’m sorry for your loss

@@TheDeathSinger Sorry for your loss :( God rest your little brother in peace and in the Light He is. And Shelby, too.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Sending you love and strength for your broken heart, from Germany ♥️✌🏻😘🙏🇩🇪
I don't know if there's an emotion in me that Mumford and Sons haven't captured in one of their songs. Truly a beautiful group.
What I love most about this song is how it gets increasingly hopeful. It's all calm and somber at the beginning, then the notes keep rising, and at the end it's almost happy.
+peachypreacher you nailed it!
Similar thing with ‘the cave’ really
@@antoniakelly8605 I agree
Yes

💚
I had a mental break down a moment ago and this is the only thing keeping me calm. It's so peaceful, but I relate to it so much.
+Ann Elaine be safe
+Luca Dullaart it's nice to know people care.
of course people do c:
Don't kid yourself. There are many people who care.
The important thing is, is that you have to care.
this is that vibration that my soul unwillingly recognizes as the sillouet of itself in another form, free of shame, pride, and matter as a whole. this is like a chant, a spell binding myself to myself, a calling for my soul to fulfill a promise to my heart.
Amen.

The way this song makes me feel. It is fucking insane. I will forever love you Mumford and Sons. For making my life just that much better.

Amen to that

Been listening to them since 2014. Was fortunate to see them perform live.

Mumford and sons is my absolute favorite band. No words could decribe how moving their songs are.

Love this song, it touches my heart and shows how vulnerable we all are.
If you sing along the best you can, you feel better.
My favorite song on Babel. Mumford and Sons are simply incredible. I've seen them twice in concert and both times were unforgettable.
I sing this to my husband. we both found each other in a very broken state...I found this, it's perfect.
You make that lazy fuck sing it to you!......;)
+TheMacocko haha u were drunk
I listened to this song constantly while going through a custody battle (I ultimately won). Still cry every time.
I think that this song displays a human being's undying ability to love unconditionally. "You saw no cracks in my heart" explains just this.
Gwyn Noah you would get 2 points on any istep test with that answer (thats the max amount of points for a question)
what i got from the whole Babel album was a man that wanted to be with someone but was constantly being knocked back and his attempts to get the one he wanted.
Gwyn Noah hi I agree with you
These guys have saved my life countless times!!
totaly agree, too bad they make shitty music now.
yeah sure whatever
Real talk^^^^^^^^^^^ x2 for me
Absolutely beautiful lyrics with profound meaning, a Mumford masterpiece
Seen these when I was 29 in 2009 when they were playing at universities in the UK as an unknown band. How their music has stayed with me through those good and bad years of my life. Phenomenal ❤
Man, I love this song. And Winston, you'll always be my favorite son.

This song still means a lot. To many people. We love you Marcus. And the rest of you.
This song is so beautiful, it makes me cry and not a lot songs make me cry
Such healing music. I know from the place they are coming from. Nearly brings me to tears listening to them.
Best. Band. Ever.
Mumford and Sons are just amazing. Like, seriously.
I miss you Doug Arrow. When I need my big brother the most, I know he is there. I just wish...
This song cuts me so deep. I lost my best friend to a bullet six years ago, and his soul still haunts me to this day. RIP
I'm writing a book and this totally fits with the theme of it. I
Right now this song is healing.
When I started this song. I was thinking of what this song was titled. I instantly thought of my grandfather. I then started to cry. I give this 15/10
this song hit me. its such a good song
first time listening to mumford & sons, llooovvee it

really great band....watched them in Dusseldorf and they're great live performer.
They are! They can get a crowd of thousands dead silent with only one song, just to get everyone dancing 2 minutes later! They are awesome!!! I've seen them in Belgium a few weeks ago
this is a very touching song specially after losing such a close friend a few days ago...
This truly is the best band ever... Their songs make my world..
One word to discribe this song ``BEAUTIFUL``
The sadest song I've ever loved!🤗♥️🙏
But the ghost that we knew will flicker from you and we’ll live a long life wow x❤️
This is the concert took my child to.
the title of this song alone tells all. I love it.
most beautiful and angelic voice ever
"You stood beside my hope torn apart". The STANDING is the focus not the hope. the standing is the acceptance. You cant do anything but stand and accept.
PTSD really fucks with your life, not just your mind.
PTSD has fucked with my life for 3 years and now at the age of 17 there is nothing more I can do than to hear this song
LOVE THIS SONG AND MANY MORE
I love this song so much... Words can't describe...
This song would be for you daddy. I love and miss you more everyday.
Love you Tasha, may your children(CHILD) hear you ROAR. 🦁❤👩👧
I lost my brother in July and then a life long friend in September and then my Best friend in February I found this song and it helped me music is all I have it’s the best medicine 😇😇😇😇😇
Sorry for your losses. I too lost my brother in Jan 2021.

Painfully beautiful
It almost brings me to tears.
You said it all !
My all time favorite song 💕 It means a ton to me.
To @TheMacocko, this is my opinion:
the song talks about a married couple, that had problems in their marriage and they decide to divorce but in midnight the wife dreams that her soul went out and traveled to their past to see their good tomes and to convince her not to divorce. she is afraid of that travel and she (the wife) explains in the first paragraph why she wants to see their past. and when she says "But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view and will live a long life" is when
Why do all of these songs describe my life almost perfectly?
This song sums me up
This song makes me miss someone I loved even more. I just hope he is well and happy.
You saw my pain washed out in the rain, broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins
Let's hold on tight to each other... We will make it.. We will see the light... We will be alright💖💖💖💖💖💖💜💜💜
the ghosts that we knew will flicker from you, and we'll live a long life!!
in love with mumford and sons songs, just amazing!
This song helped me through so much pain
One of my best bands ever love this song 🎵 ❤ xxx
All of your songs touch my heart and soul💜💜💜

This music makes me feel worse, but it feels good to know im not the only one thats lost someone they abtually cared about. the worst part for me is no knowing if she even cared back. if she even cared back at all. theres not drink or drug ive tried to ease the heartache and thats the truth.... ive tried alot too believe me
"Bury my heart on the cold" Should be "bury my heart on the coals." Great video! :)
All I think about is Signless or by then known as the Sufferer and just ughhhhh. Mumford and sons songs remind me so much of Signless, Disciple, Psiioniic, and Dolorosa.
I am writing a book as well and this song is perfect for it. Even down to the whole turning south part. It's almost like they were right there in my head. Somewhat creepy.
Best wishes for your writing!
