This song saved me from the worst suicidal depression of my life. 13 years later, it's a reminder of my resiliance, what i can overcome, and power of the right music at the right time. I did hold on to hope and i did change my ways, and i know the woman i am today has the strength to make it through anything.
I'm happy for you, this band made me got into music and wanting to be an artist since 2015 when I was 10 and 2 years ago I was 17 making very stupid decisions like drugs and alcoholism getting drunk almost everyday until the point I thought this is it until I was listening to Little Lion Man and that changed me and I was like what am I doing and since then I have been trying to clean myself, I'm doing ok, I am more responsible with alcohol , not on drugs anymore. And I'm glad people relate to me and who has similar experience. and thank you for sharing your story so I wanna share mine ❤❤❤❤
Mumford and Sons represents the era of folk pop that I miss terribly. Such a feeling of bittersweet nostalgia. I can only hope that another similar era of music is upon us soon!
I’m approaching the age of 30 and I feel this comment so deeply. This era of music was riding the crest of the wave just as I was becoming a young adult, and I have so many beautiful and exiting and powerful memories to it. Bittersweet nostalgia is the perfect descriptor.
Yeah you don’t hear bands like this, Guster, Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire anymore… at least not in the mainstream. Really gotta dig. We call it an era because a lot of people liked those sorts of bands and there was a lot to choose from. I also wish for a revival of Folk/folk pop. I think some people decided it was “hipster” music and was cringe or something and the demand went down, but bands like Fleet Foxes and others in that genre are SO underrated. ❤
I’m 22, I used to listen to this with my twin brother every morning on “jump start” on MTV in the mornings. We used to dance around the living room and thought this was such a great song. He since then has passed away and the words mean a lot more today. Awesome music
I just had the urge to listen to some of mumford's songs, it's hard to believe this is 14 years old already. My mom and I used to listen to them because we loved their music. She passed away several years ago but hearing these songs makes me both happy and sad at the memories. I'm thankful that mumford and sons exists though, for having those moments with her.
When this song was on the radio I was living alone with my alcoholic mother. When we finally got evicted she lied to me and told me we had to move in with her boyfriend (who I barely knew) because she had a stalker, and that we'd have to empty my bank account to do it. I was working for barely more than minimum wage at the time. I knew she was lying because that's just what she did. I packed my stuff into my car, ignored her screaming the whole time, and drove off and that was the last time I saw her for 2 years. This song came on just as I was getting on the highway. Today I'm doing very well: I have a good job and a nice apartment and I'm learning how to cultivate healthy relationships. And to this day I still can't hear this song without breaking down in tears: for me it commemorates the single biggest turning point in my life.
My friend used to go through similar crap and I always picked him up and let him stay at my place. We laugh now on those old, tough times. Still such a good song. We love this song.
My ex-wife was an alcoholic as well, Amanda. She made me feel so worthless that I basically felt like I HAD to stay with her or I'd forever be alone because no one else would could possibly care about me. This song always reminds me of her BS and I completely understand you on the "turning point" in life. Just over 3 years apart now and feeling much better. I truly wish you good luck on patching things up with your mom. A marriage can eventually be gotten over and forgotten about, a mother-daughter bond can not.
It certainly nudged in me in the right direction and encouraged me, but it can not hold a flame to the word of God in the King James Bible. 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 KJV Romans 10:2-13 KJV Proverbs 30:4-6 KJV John 14:6 KJV John 14:22-24 KJV John 17:17 KJV Psalms 12:6-7 KJV
Yes, they have great music. But don't get too far ahead, masterpieces like rolling stones and currently masterpiece Life is Strange (songs) are bounds and heaps above this music video.
I've been dealing with an abusive a-hole boss for the last 15 months and have been tolerating it out of pure fear of the unknown. Hearing this song has given my the courage to walk in and resign tomorrow. I have no idea where I'm going but I will find strength in pain, change my ways, and know my name as it's called again if it kills me!
Ha! Just trying to get away from a narcissistic ex I was with for 12 years myself guess we all get drawn to certain songs, anyway good luck with your "The only way to deal with narcissists is :"no contact"
@@muddydog6605 Well what are the chances of that?! I’m sorry for what you’re going through. If you need a hand (or if you haven’t seen already) Dr Ramani is a blessing! I know its tough and I get what you’re going/gone through. Hang in there, keep strong 💪
I can relate. I just had to break up with a crazy ex who I used to love but used pot as self medication for bipolar who tried to use her siren's call on me but I would not hear what she had to say. She was great in tbe beginning but over the past year, she gaslit me, emotionally and mentally abused me, and even slapped me, knowing my past with an abusive ex gf, tried to stab me in the face with a fork during a fight, and insulted the gf I dated before her, who passed away in 2018. Even saying she looked like a B-based slur that's used towards Latinos. Both the deceased ex and I are of partial Spanish and Portuguese origin so this was extremely insulting. Same goes towards her saying I had a "Dann J3w nose" while I am also someone who has a bit of Ashkenazi heritage. I can relate to you in this sense 100% and hope you find better days
This song was a staple of my young adult like and only now do I see the impact it has had on my world view. Life is hard, it is tragic, it will beat you down and tempt you to fall into despair. Find strength in the hardship, joy in something better and learn what it means to life as you should, not how you want.
I joined the Mumford and Sons fan group way to late. I only discovered them about 6 months ago. They deserved so much more fame then they got. They put so much passion into their music. They don’t sing terrible lyrics like the current pop singers do. They made deep lyrics like Simon and Garfunkel used to. Their current music just isn’t the same. There are some good ones like forever, but it is missing the vibe these old songs have. I don’t know if there are many people like me, just wishing they could have been around to hear them play their old songs like where are you now or there will be time. I doubt there will ever be a band quite like them again.
Love to read all the stories about how this song changed lifes. Mine is changing right now.. Feels crazy.. This song will remind me of these times.. I‘m 23 now. I‘ll reply to this comment when I hit my 30s. Wish me luck folks❤️

The darkest time of my life, 20+ years ago, never had a song that summed it up until I heard this for the first time. The pain, suffering, and eventual triumph of light over darkness, all encapsulated in a simple melody and lyrics. Every couple years I fire it up again to remind myself of what I endured and survived. Rock on survivors, look at and appreciate every new day as the miracle it is, and every sunset as if it might be your last. Drink deep from the cup of life and make the world a better place for having you in it.
Thank you for sharing. God bless you. I have an addicted son, he showed me this while struggling. He's clean and much better now. This song still makes me cry though...
I still get so happy every time I hear this song...it's impossible (even with a broken heart right now) to not smile and sing along with good spirits 🥲
I was with a very abusive man during Covid 2019- 2021. I was so stuck and this song was the only thing that made me feel free and understood. I'm just reuniting with it now and I am full of tears, strength and love. I hope artists like this know the power they have to help those who feel so alone during hard times. 💓
This song was my anthem as I left my ex. She was abusive on all fronts.. I even quoted this song as I delivered the final blow while breaking up with her with the Siren's Call part of the song. I'm in a healthy relationship with a fellow autistic girl and my ex sits at her friend's house smoking dabs and drinking like the unemployed and unemployable loser she is. Like I drink moderately and I think the green stuff should be legal in all 50, but damn if you don't work, then you don't need to be getting fucked up all of the time.
I was 17 or 18 when I first heard this song. I'm 31 now... and just heard this song in a random FB short after so many years, and god does it hit different now... I miss this Era of music 💯
What an amazing and timeless band! These songs give me such a strange sense of nostalgia and hope... I hope people will once again rediscover just how amazing this music genre is!
"It's empty in the valley of your heart, the sun it rises while you slowly as you walk away from all the fears and all the faults you've left behind" I think this is about the clarity you get after you find closure
Someone emptied your heart so there’s nothing there to harvest. Left you nothing. Then it’s like this ah ha moment where you realize this and get your closure. The sun still rises and you walk away from the pain you left behind
I believe the "you" in this song is an abuser. In my opinion you have to look at the next line to make sense of the first one: "the harvest left no fruit for you to eat, you cannibal, you meat-eater." In other words, they have nothing that belongs to them because of their self-destructive tendencies and they have to become predators to the fruits of labor to those around them.
@@amandadube156 "'Cause I need freedom now And I need to know how" certainly seems to be about escaping from an abuser. I hear those words and I think of what you said/wrote about escaping from your abusive alcoholic mother. (Congratulations and brava on that one by the way. 👏👏👏👏👏)
5-6 years before I used to GOA frequently..But can't go now because of life commitments and work...I always cherish GOA with this music...... Cheers to Goa and this great band
I can't help but remember sitting in the car with my family, until my mom turns this on. I just sat in the back and listened as we drove in our van. Mumford and Sons was part of my childhood and always will be.
we all share an identical piece of childhood experience and it feels amazing what can’t be taken away from us but to be reminded at any given time. even today, we continue to build new experiences… memories… treasures 🤍
Absolute masterpiece. This song stays as good forever as when it came out. Words can not describe how much I miss this band. Thanks so much for the art you brought out tho.
Ever since I was 6 I loved Mumford and sons. And this remains as my all-time favourite song. It helped me through a rough point in my life (I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and my dad played this for me in the hospital). And I will always love this song the same way.
I love how the people we do not know are shining so much and are actually enjoying themselves in this video. Idk this pretention is genuinely making me happy
I grew up in a fairlly Christian country but my parents and none of my surrounding adults were religious, if anything they were theologists and ethymoloigsts. When I first listeneds to this song it reminded me of the greeky myths I read as a child, including Odysseus / Ulysses escaping the Cyclop by either crawling among sheep or hanging upside down from their bellies by clutching onto their wool. And while I know there are many Christian and also Mythical influiences on their music, Mumford and Sons gave me a push towards defining divinity for myself with songs like this. There is a certain divine presence in ourselves and we, as human beings, get to decide what that means. But by the end of thje day what is most important is to keep anything alive alive and that while we might have different ideas, we are all human and we want other humans happy and healthy. Imho, what makes us human is kindness and kinship. And I don't care if my life only influences a single human to make their day better. I want to be a positive or happy influence, even for just a second :3
you find a new purpose sometimes spiritually it can come from growth but recognizing it happens its the first step foreword because now what else is possible if you were able to create this new door.
Thus song helped me prevent myself from killing myself, I wake up every morning to this and cry because I have found the best life and healed and God has been so great to me, I never thought I would make it to this age, and have had multiple near death experiences, I am lucky we have good people on this earth!
Im 15 now and ive been listening to mumford and sons since i was 7 or 8 i was introduced to them from a disney ad with winter winds playing on it, me and my dad loved the song so we looked it up and were introduced to mumford and sons, they have played such a large role in my life as alot of their songs carry with them valuable advice on life. Thank you Mumford And Sons
The very first time that I had seen this song on MTV, it got me excited. Something which no one notices. The entire video is short at Goa, India. The scooters used are local scooters for hire by Tourists in Goa. The men dressed as the band players are Goans. Well the music is theirs but the video scenes belong to Goa. Fond memories, as how Goa was so peaceful in those years.
I love _Sigh no More_ and _Babel_. These albums and their songs remind me of the awesome time I had raising my amazing son born in late 2008. Truly a special time filled with very special music.
I remember waking up one summer morning at my dads with my tv on and this song was one and I remember watching and loved it I’ve never forgot this song it’s been 11 years later my father passed away I have my own son and this song will forever be part of my life ❤
I am 12 and I first heard this song when I was 9. I love this band so much. I'm currently learning how to play this song on guitar and it is been a journey
I know I’m way too late for this but I needed to say something, with is my favourite song, as it was my sister‘s, she isn’t here anymore so whenever I hear this song it brings her back for a little while and I feel like she’s singing it with me, and I cannot thank you guys enough for making such a song, thank you for bringing my best friend back to life, even if only for a few minutes, I would never be able to repay you for this debt.
I was in the car on my way to London, my cousin and me singing to this on repeat alongside mr brightside, very different songs it makes me sad to think of what once was, were very different people now, it's sad but it makes me happy, you don't understand the great moments until they're gone.
Hey, just reminding you if you still listen to this, heard it few years ago, didn't make much of it, grew up, found Little Lion Man by random mix on Spotify, came back, obsessed again as I was when I was a child, now listening to Marcus's solo album too
I don't know why, but the shot of the elderly man at around 3:40 is my favourite moment in the music video. Not necessarily the song itself, but the video. There's something with the energy in him.
Ano Nym his name's Albin, I think, owner of "Pedro Fernandes" Goa's oldest music store I think. I was born and raised there, he sold me a fender stratocaster, a couple of years ago, got an amazing deal on it.
I was having a breakdown at like 4am in my room and this song came on and it makes me feel like there’s a chance and this song gives me so much hope to never give up
back in 2014 asked a friend of mine to recommend some bangers and he recommended this song it was a very emotional when I heard it for the first time as I was working illegally to help my family plus danger of getting deported from Saudi Arabia " born there" at any time. today I'm safe and sound in London living my life as I always dreamed of not thinking of how much of a Shithole Saudi Arabia was. thank you for reading this I hope your life goes very well cause you deserve better. LOVE
Wish you well good sir. You have a great taste in music. I'm glad you found happiness and are way from Saudi Arabia, Great Britain has a lot of potential and I hope you enjoy it's a great place to live.
a lot of their songs were the only thing that got me through my childhood, I'm coming to these about 7 years later and it still makes me so damn happy to listen to them play
Chat mentioned this one when i asked for a song to go with the Odyssey esp the part w the Cyclope... reading that this one saved a dude's life (i mean id myself love to be able to listen to it years later, such voice & tune, both great ^^) makes it way way more gorgeous ❤ Now i can confirm its a great song ❤
I was casually sitting with a group of friends who know I like music, but more stuff like the Blixemi originals and songs from the 80s. Then I perfectly perform this and the looks on their faces was priceless. I even got a new friend out of it. So yay.
I heard this song when i was homeless in Portland and my neighbor in a tent had a am radio and i heard it and never forgot it..I'm no longer homeless but it reminds me of a life i was and changed
3:36 - 3:44 This song, and specifically music video, got me through some tough situations back in the day. As time goes by almost a decade later, I'm just more and more grateful for this
at first I didn't like folk music once I heard mumford and sons I got addicted they are an amazing band and trust me im a guy that like rap and hip hop but after hearing them im very lucky to hear about them
This song makes me cry To me this song means a lot, I am a survivor, a survivor of anxiety, depression.. And cancer. I hide all my feelings and I need to come out of MY cave. When I was little I told my dad I took a depression test and had 98% (Severe Depression) and because I hid my feelings for a while actually, he said “No, your to happy” I ran to my room and started crying and saying to myself “This is what you get for not telling him sooner, you deserve this” I ran away from home and ran into the woods, I found someone doing suicide and they tied themselves on a rope, and died, it had been the worst day of my life, I ran back home and my dad found me running in, of corse he got mad and started yelling, he didn’t listen to what I said, he just yelled. At the time I had no friends but the next day at school, there was someone new in the class, we got to know each other and up to this day, we are still best friends, and we sing this song to each other when we’re feeling down ever since we were little, it sounds childish to others but when you do something for a while, you stick to it. We actually live together in an apartment and I’m at my first year in collage, I’m stressed about it, but it’s working out, and she has a part time job at McDonald’s. I hope whoever is reading this has a great day!
This song saved me from the worst suicidal depression of my life. 13 years later, it's a reminder of my resiliance, what i can overcome, and power of the right music at the right time. I did hold on to hope and i did change my ways, and i know the woman i am today has the strength to make it through anything.
glad you made it and that you're still here today! keep going c:
Mumford n sons is what keeps me grounded and stops me from the stupid decisions I might make
I'm happy for you, this band made me got into music and wanting to be an artist since 2015 when I was 10 and 2 years ago I was 17 making very stupid decisions like drugs and alcoholism getting drunk almost everyday until the point I thought this is it until I was listening to Little Lion Man and that changed me and I was like what am I doing and since then I have been trying to clean myself, I'm doing ok, I am more responsible with alcohol , not on drugs anymore.

Im glad you’re still here.
Mumford and Sons represents the era of folk pop that I miss terribly. Such a feeling of bittersweet nostalgia. I can only hope that another similar era of music is upon us soon!
Yup. I think the folk pop and EDM pop of 2009-2011 and the experimental rock pop of 2012-2015 were some interesting eras
Stomp, clap, and say “hey!”. Congrats. You revived this era of music
I’m approaching the age of 30 and I feel this comment so deeply. This era of music was riding the crest of the wave just as I was becoming a young adult, and I have so many beautiful and exiting and powerful memories to it.

This song gave me hope when I was around 15,I'm 26 now and I'm crying as I'm reunited with it.
It’s like coming back with your younger spirit that was unafraid of confronting life.
Yes for sure. I was so close to suicide, I had just turned 14 and this song it helped me.
CLASS
I was searching for hope there too, like old times.
@@TheFello93 this is exactly what I felt but didn't know how to express.. thanks mann
I am 67 years old and I love mumford and sons❤
the indie folk era of the early 2010s was unmatched
I miss it
This song is like reciting the Bible. Mumford and Sons taught me to never give up. I changed my ways.
It certainly nudged in me in the right direction and encouraged me, but it can not hold a flame to the word of God in the King James Bible.

It’s been a month since you commented. How are you holding up? Hopefully the resignation went well and you’re off to bigger and better things now!
Hope you OK
Take care mate 👍
Funny how songs have a new meaning after you go through and experience life.
Certainly do are you ok ?

There is nothing better than a group of real musicians producing real music. So rare today.
What?😂 there is enough real new music out there. Explore woman!
2024 ❤ it’s been 8 years since I heard this beautiful song for the first time. Love it.
Love them all
For some reason this song finds me in the hardest times of my life…. And lifts my ass back up 🤘🏼

I have been a fan since 2009 still have their original two CD’s hasn’t been as good since then.

Aye. I feel the same

I'm just reuniting with it now and I am full of tears, strength and love. I hope artists like this know the power they have to help those who feel so alone during hard times. 💓
I'm glad you're out of that situation and safe. And yes, music has enormous power to sustain you and help you heal emotionally.
Glad you're still here :)
so make your sirens call girl because it sounds like you needed freedom.

I'm in a healthy relationship with a fellow autistic girl and my ex sits at her friend's house smoking dabs and drinking like the unemployed and unemployable loser she is. Like I drink moderately and I think the green stuff should be legal in all 50, but damn if you don't work, then you don't need to be getting fucked up all of the time.
I was 17 or 18 when I first heard this song. I'm 31 now... and just heard this song in a random FB short after so many years, and god does it hit different now... I miss this Era of music 💯
You tell em hamburgler! That era was just unmatched.
Same man senior year of high school when this came out
What an amazing and timeless band! These songs give me such a strange sense of nostalgia and hope... I hope people will once again rediscover just how amazing this music genre is!
Folk lives on!
This song is the sountrack to my daughter and I trying to heal from a trauma she went through.
Can’t express how much of a jam this is rn. So grateful to have been lead to it.
its been 12 years and this song still hits
Yes. Exactly.
"It's empty in the valley of your heart, the sun it rises while you slowly as you walk away from all the fears and all the faults you've left behind" I think this is about the clarity you get after you find closure
Someone emptied your heart so there’s nothing there to harvest. Left you nothing. Then it’s like this ah ha moment where you realize this and get your closure. The sun still rises and you walk away from the pain you left behind
I believe the "you" in this song is an abuser. In my opinion you have to look at the next line to make sense of the first one: "the harvest left no fruit for you to eat, you cannibal, you meat-eater." In other words, they have nothing that belongs to them because of their self-destructive tendencies and they have to become predators to the fruits of labor to those around them.

"'Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how"
certainly seems to be about escaping from an abuser.
I hear those words and I think of what you said/wrote about escaping from your abusive alcoholic mother.
(Congratulations and brava on that one by the way. 👏👏👏👏👏)
THEY SING DIRECTLY TO MEEEE FOREVER!
Long time no listen. I'm laying here in my bed listening to it exactly 10 years after it was released. Epic
Me to I love it
Now 11 years?
‘ I need freedom now
And I need to know how,
To live my life as it’s meant to be ‘
This song is so amazingly powerful, and touches the deepest of my souls.
Thank you Mumford for this piece of art, one of my favorite songs ever!
Been listening for years.. never gets old and still my fav song forever I suppose..
Aaah!!! I'm so happy I have found this song! 🎉
5-6 years before I used to GOA frequently..But can't go now because of life commitments and work...I always cherish GOA with this music...... Cheers to Goa and this great band
Amazing band
I can't help but remember sitting in the car with my family, until my mom turns this on. I just sat in the back and listened as we drove in our van. Mumford and Sons was part of my childhood and always will be.
I have a similar memory of slowly falling asleep to this album going to my grandparents's house a couple hours away.
we all share an identical piece of childhood experience and it feels amazing what can’t be taken away from us but to be reminded at any given time. even today, we continue to build new experiences… memories… treasures 🤍
I can't thank Mumford and Sons enough for reviving true music.
rue music never went away, and certainly if it did some hipster band like this wouldnt be the ones to do it.
@@David_Downs If you think calling them a hipster band is an insult, it isn't. Don't embarass yourself.
Lmao shut up
Mumford and sons just hits different. Can’t explain it😞.
Absolute masterpiece. This song stays as good forever as when it came out. Words can not describe how much I miss this band. Thanks so much for the art you brought out tho.
Commenting where I can always come back and be reminded of this song … 👍
Ever since I was 6 I loved Mumford and sons. And this remains as my all-time favourite song. It helped me through a rough point in my life (I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and my dad played this for me in the hospital). And I will always love this song the same way.
🤔🤔
I love how the people we do not know are shining so much and are actually enjoying themselves in this video. Idk this pretention is genuinely making me happy
Whenever I hear this song I cry
It was the main song at my friends funeral
Hope you are better 5 year's later
Going through the same at the moment pal
I grew up in a fairlly Christian country but my parents and none of my surrounding adults were religious, if anything they were theologists and ethymoloigsts.
When I first listeneds to this song it reminded me of the greeky myths I read as a child, including Odysseus / Ulysses escaping the Cyclop by either crawling among sheep or hanging upside down from their bellies by clutching onto their wool. And while I know there are many Christian and also Mythical influiences on their music, Mumford and Sons gave me a push towards defining divinity for myself with songs like this. There is a certain divine presence in ourselves and we, as human beings, get to decide what that means.
But by the end of thje day what is most important is to keep anything alive alive and that while we might have different ideas, we are all human and we want other humans happy and healthy.
Imho, what makes us human is kindness and kinship. And I don't care if my life only influences a single human to make their day better. I want to be a positive or happy influence, even for just a second :3
I wish I could tell these guys just how much this song meant to me. Got me through the roughest stage on my life.
You're not alone friend
I think you have with simply writing this comment. I hope you’re well
Mumford and Sons, every chord they strike, every lyric they sing, is simply melody personified
This song came out the year I got sober. I found strength in pain. More importantly I found God!
Are you still alive?
you find a new purpose sometimes spiritually it can come from growth but recognizing it happens its the first step foreword because now what else is possible if you were able to create this new door.
Amen brother hope you're doing okay
You are living your life like it’s meant to be, that’s what freedom is. God bless you
Thus song helped me prevent myself from killing myself, I wake up every morning to this and cry because I have found the best life and healed and God has been so great to me, I never thought I would make it to this age, and have had multiple near death experiences, I am lucky we have good people on this earth!
Im 15 now and ive been listening to mumford and sons since i was 7 or 8 i was introduced to them from a disney ad with winter winds playing on it, me and my dad loved the song so we looked it up and were introduced to mumford and sons, they have played such a large role in my life as alot of their songs carry with them valuable advice on life. Thank you Mumford And Sons
The very first time that I had seen this song on MTV, it got me excited. Something which no one notices. The entire video is short at Goa, India. The scooters used are local scooters for hire by Tourists in Goa. The men dressed as the band players are Goans. Well the music is theirs but the video scenes belong to Goa. Fond memories, as how Goa was so peaceful in those years.
a song of fearless triumph against ones self to sustain hopefulness
good song
I love _Sigh no More_ and _Babel_. These albums and their songs remind me of the awesome time I had raising my amazing son born in late 2008. Truly a special time filled with very special music.
I remember waking up one summer morning at my dads with my tv on and this song was one and I remember watching and loved it I’ve never forgot this song it’s been 11 years later my father passed away I have my own son and this song will forever be part of my life ❤
The best song in the world❤❤❤
Every time I listen to this song it makes me want to cry because of how good it is
I am 12 and I first heard this song when I was 9. I love this band so much. I'm currently learning how to play this song on guitar and it is been a journey
Keep it up youngster!! 🎉
👍
I know I’m way too late for this but I needed to say something, with is my favourite song, as it was my sister‘s, she isn’t here anymore so whenever I hear this song it brings her back for a little while and I feel like she’s singing it with me, and I cannot thank you guys enough for making such a song, thank you for bringing my best friend back to life, even if only for a few minutes, I would never be able to repay you for this debt.
I'm sorry about your sister Kota. But I'm sure she's happy that you found a way to constantly remember her, even in the afterlife.
@@Vladik-0930 Thank you, your words mean everything
I was in the car on my way to London, my cousin and me singing to this on repeat alongside mr brightside, very different songs it makes me sad to think of what once was, were very different people now, it's sad but it makes me happy, you don't understand the great moments until they're gone.
This brings me back when my middle school art teacher would always play this.
this was my first ever mumford songs and it is still my second favourite, closely behind lover of the light. xx
Hey, just reminding you if you still listen to this, heard it few years ago, didn't make much of it, grew up, found Little Lion Man by random mix on Spotify, came back, obsessed again as I was when I was a child, now listening to Marcus's solo album too
Don’t you love how Mumford and sons just has that sound that can’t be replicated?
I don't know why, but the shot of the elderly man at around 3:40 is my favourite moment in the music video. Not necessarily the song itself, but the video. There's something with the energy in him.
Ano Nym his name's Albin, I think, owner of "Pedro Fernandes" Goa's oldest music store I think. I was born and raised there, he sold me a fender stratocaster, a couple of years ago, got an amazing deal on it.
After all these years... 💯💯💯
A truly inspiring song
Mumford and sons if you guys are reading this THANK YOU.
mumford and sons are one of the bands that got me into music
wtf are u onabout u absolute wrongen
GameZedd01 same to be honest
Shaun Maguire what im saying is that growing up they were one of the first bands i listened to, along side Queen and AC/DC
Snow Patrol too, queen, ac dc, toto, the eagles, and large etc
I was having a breakdown at like 4am in my room and this song came on and it makes me feel like there’s a chance and this song gives me so much hope to never give up
Hang in there buddy.
Remember watching this on MTV jamz before school. Still a classic.
This is my first time listening to this son and I’m speechless. This song hits different
This song is pure joy. Whenever I feel down, the energy of this song brings me back up.
back in 2014 asked a friend of mine to recommend some bangers and he recommended this song it was a very emotional when I heard it for the first time as I was working illegally to help my family plus danger of getting deported from Saudi Arabia " born there" at any time. today I'm safe and sound in London living my life as I always dreamed of not thinking of how much of a Shithole Saudi Arabia was.
thank you for reading this I hope your life goes very well cause you deserve better. LOVE
mo os wish you all the best man, great music taste ;)
I hope you've heard Woman by Mumford and Sons.
❤
The best 4u 🤗
Wish you well good sir. You have a great taste in music. I'm glad you found happiness and are way from Saudi Arabia, Great Britain has a lot of potential and I hope you enjoy it's a great place to live.
I am glad I was born around this era of buitiful music
I don't know why but I love when the old guy is shouting out "Iiiiiiii..."
Great song, has so many different meanings to different people.
a lot of their songs were the only thing that got me through my childhood, I'm coming to these about 7 years later and it still makes me so damn happy to listen to them play
I can’t believe this song is ten years old, I can still remember clearly when it came out.
Chat mentioned this one when i asked for a song to go with the Odyssey esp the part w the Cyclope... reading that this one saved a dude's life (i mean id myself love to be able to listen to it years later, such voice & tune, both great ^^) makes it way way more gorgeous ❤
Now i can confirm its a great song ❤
everyone in 2021 this is true music pure talent ‼️👏🏾
This song brings me back so many memories!
same
Same
Same bruv
Same, not all good. But most
I was casually sitting with a group of friends who know I like music, but more stuff like the Blixemi originals and songs from the 80s. Then I perfectly perform this and the looks on their faces was priceless. I even got a new friend out of it. So yay.
Good for you, really. It's an amazing song.
Who cares?
Come out of your cave ....Thank God ....Sober
i didnt even hear this song ever in my childhood but it just has that flare that makes it really nostalgic despite having only discovered it now
I heard this song when i was homeless in Portland and my neighbor in a tent had a am radio and i heard it and never forgot it..I'm no longer homeless but it reminds me of a life i was and changed
am i the only one who's dad used to play mumford and sons, whenever i listen to them i tear up it brings back memories
3:36 - 3:44 This song, and specifically music video, got me through some tough situations back in the day. As time goes by almost a decade later, I'm just more and more grateful for this
@@stardust86x 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💯❤️
Thanks friend 👏🏾❤️
I learned of this band just a few days ago and I am addicted to this album and just saw the video and realized it’s shot in my homeland of Goa!
mumford and sons never makes bad songs this is one of my favourite songs ever made in my opinion
Still bumping in October 2023!!!! 🔥
Here I am 13 years after seeing this on MTV back when they played music videos in the early morning and I still listen to Mumford and Sons.
at first I didn't like folk music once I heard mumford and sons I got addicted they are an amazing band and trust me im a guy that like rap and hip hop but after hearing them im very lucky to hear about them
i'm a teenager that loves drum and bass/dubstep/hiphop... but strangely also this :p
Who is listening to this song during the pandemic. I love this song
Me! 💞
There’s a pandemic!?
@@floppycheese7 yes you know the virus that is going around
@@plantwitheli4892 woooosh
This song makes me cry
To me this song means a lot, I am a survivor, a survivor of anxiety, depression..
And cancer.
I hide all my feelings and I need to come out of MY cave. When I was little I told my dad I took a depression test and had 98% (Severe Depression) and because I hid my feelings for a while actually, he said “No, your to happy” I ran to my room and started crying and saying to myself “This is what you get for not telling him sooner, you deserve this” I ran away from home and ran into the woods, I found someone doing suicide and they tied themselves on a rope, and died, it had been the worst day of my life, I ran back home and my dad found me running in, of corse he got mad and started yelling, he didn’t listen to what I said, he just yelled. At the time I had no friends but the next day at school, there was someone new in the class, we got to know each other and up to this day, we are still best friends, and we sing this song to each other when we’re feeling down ever since we were little, it sounds childish to others but when you do something for a while, you stick to it. We actually live together in an apartment and I’m at my first year in collage, I’m stressed about it, but it’s working out, and she has a part time job at McDonald’s.
I hope whoever is reading this has a great day!
you are a living miracle.
Stay strong my man. Nothing can stop you!
Hope things are going good for you mate ❤️
wish you all the best
Really good song brings back nostalgia for me
