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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 TH-cam, 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 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 song still ignites so much emotion in me… from my addictions healed- 18 years sober- to the lose of a husband, my father , my mother all in six months- I was blessed to see these creative creatures at ACL- the year they marched the Austin HS Band on stage with them… so encouraging and such a spiritual journey… as music always is… thank you for your gift of harmony in so many lives- for such a long time… how blessed we are… Gentleman of the Road…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ❤
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.
Funny how Matchbox 20 songs affected my when I was younger. Begged and got tickets for my 2nd concert. Everything in life at time. Been oblivious for years and here this song comes when cancer hits. Beautiful song. Hits deep. Nice. Love❤ it
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..
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!
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.
My son graduated from college He was attacked in West Des Moines Iowa... Was on life support his whole personality change never did drugs or alcohol and that was a nightmare cause that's where he turned And he was homeless for more years than I want account and This is the song he would send me in text message to let me know he was okay... In 13 days I am going to Missouri to his wedding with this fantastic woman that he's gonna Marry ...God has answered all my prayers.
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 Dave Guy 03.08.90 - 15.12.2021 💔
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 😇😇😇😇😇

"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.
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
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.
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
As all mother's we love our child no matter wat my dad's favourite was red red wine been 6 yrs now and I miss him still xxxxxx
So sorry to hear you lost you mam,this band is just amazing
This was my mum's favourite group and she passed away, then this album came out and I heard this song and it broke me
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.

@@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 ♥️✌🏻😘🙏🇩🇪
These guys have gotten me through hell and back peacefully.

Haha hell yeah, amen.
Tip my hat to you, high fives and salute, both of you; Taran Robs and Coo kie.

you say it man
Yes indeed ... Same Here!!
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 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.
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 song still ignites so much emotion in me… from my addictions healed- 18 years sober- to the lose of a husband, my father , my mother all in six months- I was blessed to see these creative creatures at ACL- the year they marched the Austin HS Band on stage with them… so encouraging and such a spiritual journey… as music always is… thank you for your gift of harmony in so many lives- for such a long time… how blessed we are… Gentleman of the Road…
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.
Mike Welch I
Amen to that
Absolutely beautiful lyrics with profound meaning, a Mumford masterpiece
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
lovely... so give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light. Thank you my friend.
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 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
Love this song, it touches my heart and shows how vulnerable we all are.

Am going through the same thing now....ill never know why he is divorcing me..i feel so much guilt, questions not answered, unheares alone and scares
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.
Mumford and sons is my absolute favorite band. No words could decribe how moving their songs are.
Been listening to them since 2014. Was fortunate to see them perform live.
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.
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.

Man, I love this song. And Winston, you'll always be my favorite son.
My favorite song on Babel. Mumford and Sons are simply incredible. I've seen them twice in concert and both times were unforgettable.
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
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.
Such healing music. I know from the place they are coming from. Nearly brings me to tears listening to them.
Funny how Matchbox 20 songs affected my when I was younger. Begged and got tickets for my 2nd concert. Everything in life at time. Been oblivious for years and here this song comes when cancer hits. Beautiful song. Hits deep. Nice. Love❤ it

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.
I listened to this song constantly while going through a custody battle (I ultimately won). Still cry every time.
This song still means a lot. To many people. We love you Marcus. And the rest of you.
Best. Band. Ever.
I’m glad the lyrics and passion in the words and how they sing them cheers me up all the time
I'm writing a book and this totally fits with the theme of it. I

Truly beautiful song. I never get tired of listening to it .Thankyou you guys are are great xx❤
I love all of their song. A wonderful group.
This song is so beautiful, it makes me cry and not a lot songs make me cry
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 truly is the best band ever... Their songs make my world..
My son graduated from college He was attacked in West Des Moines Iowa... Was on life support his whole personality change never did drugs or alcohol and that was a nightmare cause that's where he turned And he was homeless for more years than I want account and This is the song he would send me in text message to let me know he was okay...

No matter where I am, who I am, what I am, or what I am doing or how strong i am feeling... this song will always make me cry.

this song hit me. its such a good song
Right now this song is healing.
"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.
this is a very touching song specially after losing such a close friend a few days ago...
All of your songs touch my heart and soul💜💜💜
