"Let me die where I lie, beneath the curse of these lovers eyes." Getting those words tattooed on my shin tomorrow for my 22nd birthday. No one will ever know how much these words and this song means to me. But it's ok, because I do.
For me, it really hits hard when the Chorus starts: " I do not ask the price I pay, I must live with my quiet rage, tame the ghosts in my head that run me wild and wish me dead"...
Once again a British band sweeps the floor with all the rest. When will you guys stop making such amazing music? I hope never. God knows it's needed these days.
Hey hey, hold up. What about the good American bands? Imagine dragons, if you like rock. I don't know about country, but instrumental, TSFH is amazing. I think they're based in CA, if you dig, though, you can find good music from anywhere. Germany, England, America, Russia, just anywhere.
I am fifty 54 years old, and this song is making me cry! I have just been through a divorce after 10 years of marriage. Two children, and I don't know whether this woman loved me or not, and I don't know whether I loved her or not, but I tried my best to make t work! Maybe she did too!
Moral of the story, don't get married. It is a scam by the government to get people into DEBT, to have control over people with mortgages etc. Marriage is a SCAM
For a while I lost my faith in the direction of "today's" music, Mumford and Sons has brought back my faith! Truly the voice of a generation, great band....great lyrics and creativity that goes above and beyond!
There's a part in all of us that screams out when we hear music that speaks to it; I believe it's the soul. This band speaks to the soul; their popularity is simply a result of that ability, not becoming a sellout.
Everything about this is perfect. From the slow build up of the song, to the artfully played banjo, right down to Marcus saying "And I heart radio" in the most beautiful voice ever.
mumford and sons fans are the best. no one trolls just because, were all nice to each other. mumford ans sons made us this way and for that i thank them.
I just came across this beautiful band last night as I was listening to Allison Krauss and Gillian Welch AND WOW OH WOW just amazing GODS given talent they have! Just simply beautiful AND profound. God bless you gents.:D+ xxx boo muah!
Love the chorus! But do not ask the price I paid, I must live with my quiet rage, Tame the ghosts in my head, That run wild and wish me dead. Should you shake my ash to the wind Lord, forget all of my sins Oh, let me die where I lie Neath the curse of my lover's eyes. Can really personally relate *Smiles* :)
This song is amazing because it's a work of art crafted and catered that everybody can apply to in some way or another. It's about struggling to lead a good life and that no matter how easy it may seem to be a 'good' person, it never is, but that doesn't mean it was for nothing. It means that you can always have an impact in this world. This song is amazing in it's message alone As opposed to songs that are too preachy and lack a sense of raw passion and emotion. Mumford never ceases to amaze me
To all the guys who've come here and derided this band's music. Eat your hearts out, but you can't do a thing about the fact that this band has Class. Top Class. Their music is truly unique. Mumford & Sons Rocks
so relatable. I love these guys, each song is better then the last and if you have ever experienced, hope, dispair, depression, and or faith you love the words of each song!
Sheri Pritchard we will be empty and searching until we turn from sin and trust in Christ. Our conscience convicts us, we're aware of the day of Judgement and we need righteousnes. We need to start doing everything we know we should and stop doing everything we know we shouldn't and we'll never find peace until it has been done. A peace which surpasses all understanding. A clear conscience. Confidence in death and boldness in life. God bless you and I love you sister.
but do not ask the price I paid, I must live with my quiet rage, tame the ghosts in my head, they run wild and wish me dead, shake my ash to the wind, forgive all my sins
Saw their first Kentucky show in Louisville. They opened with this song. I can easily say it's the best show I've been to in years. The way they connect with their audience is insane.
I am a huge Avett Brothers fan & I didn't think it was possible for me to love a band as much as I do them....but Mumford n Sons does the same thing to my heart & soul as they do. I would give just about anything to see both bands play together, they compliment each other so beautifully. Thank God there are bands like these, it gives me hope.
And some maintain there are no great music talents out there today. These guys are great! I guess that not all current music is shit in the form of Kanye West...
+David Johnson Aside from a few very up tempo numbers they are often a bit sullen but the lyrics are amazing and the band is very, very talented. For me it is the lyrics by far. I love this band.
+robert glenn i agree with m&s, but actually kanye west isn't that bad. He may be a complete jerk but just from his music, he's doing a great job and is one of the few hiphop artists that actually comes up with some new and innovative stuff.
BeX302 I guess I just don't get the attraction to hip-hop..As one who can't get enough of three driving rhythm guitars during a three hour Springsteen concert, I imagine it ain't and never will happen...most over the top production and video antics than music, hip-hop seems to this 60s guy.
hooked up on M&S for a while, their performance is amazing and organic, very talented group of musicians and one of those bands that most (if not all) of their songs are amazing
LYRICS: Love was kind, for a time Now just aches and it makes me blind This mirror holds my eyes too bright I can't see the others in my life Were we too young? And heads too strong? To bear the weight of these lover's eyes. 'Cause I feel numb, beneath your tongue Neath the curse of these lover's eyes. But do not ask the price I pay, I must live with my quiet rage, Tame the ghosts in my head, That run wild and wish me dead. Should you shake my ash to the wind Lord, forget all of my sins Oh, let me die where I lie Neath the curse of my lover's eyes. There's no drink nor drug I tried To rid the curse of these lover's eyes And I feel numb, beneath your tongue Your strength just makes me feel less strong But do not ask the price I pay, I must live with my quiet rage, Tame the ghosts in my head, That run wild and wish me dead. Should you shake my ash to the wind Lord, forget all of my sins Oh, let me die where I lie Neath the curse of my lover's eyes. And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow Take my hand, help me on my way. And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow Take my hand, I'll be on my way. And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow Take my hand, help me on my way. And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow Take my hand, I'll be on my way. La la la, La la la, La la la, la la La la la, La la la, La la la, la la
But do not ask the price I pay I must live with my quiet rage Tame the ghosts in my head That run wild and wish me dead Story of my life right there... i struggled with suicidal thoughts for as long as i could remember i'm stable now i guess ,but i never did relate to any band more than i did to this band no more emo rock no anger issues guess i can say there was light at the end of the tunnel.
Lex Gonzalez i know it's not easy, if i can give you little advice, here's what works for me: watch stand up comedy on youtube, smile or wink at yourself in the mirror and repeat you're amazing. I wish you the best!
omix090 will try that, comedy always works though even if it's for that little moment you and you get to forget all the sadness, how can i say this thank you for being kind have to say even some people close to me never understood the sudden mood changes thanks bro, i also found solace in people who understood and didn't judge me but helped me through it all.
I´ve seen them with my girlfriend at Hurricane this year, was the best performance this year so far. Also the crowd was the best one I´ve ever experienced. You will never forget this moment seeing them live... Was one of the most beautiful moments in my life...
i wish i could catch and bottle up the feeling that mumford and sons' music gives me and share it with the world, for it is quite possibly the world's best feeling.
Marcus is absolutely brilliant. He is a brilliant artist. He puts so much heart into his music. I think that the banjo is a even better part to the song.
This song speaks to me on so many levels. Mumford & Sons gives me a lump in my throat along with butterflies in my stomach at the same time in the same song. In my opinion, that's musical perfection right there.
every time, I open you.tube, listening to this & that melody, then, well, it's not because I do want to listen to U, folkes, It simply comes the way, U're pleasing my mood, THX
Probably one of my more favorite M&S songs. Was in an incredibly bad mood about 5minutes and 18 seconds ago but now how could I be mad. Love M&S and I cannot wait for more songs too come out from them.
THANKS TO THIS WEDDING I KNEW THE SUBJECT AND AFTER THAT, I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THEM. BEAUTIFUL TOPIC !!!!!! DESDE ROSARIO ARGENTINA ; BRAVOOOOO !!!!
Going through life I've always felt Evil was mocking me through The Living Beings I Love So Much.. In Every Lifetime I Will Fall Loving you and Never Truly being Seen by You As I Was and will Always Be your Neighbor.....
Dear Mumford & Sons, Please stop being so awesome. I keep almost getting in accidents searching for your songs on my iPod while driving. Thank you. _Adam
i just want to go see them in concert there music does alot to me it calms me takes me away to another place make me forget the bad and remember the great times of my life God i thank them for there wonderful songs :)
I'm in love w their voices! Love it!! You have to be a very intune with sensitivity of life to enjoy there artistic singing. I would just love to be in the studio and listening to them for a whole day!
I'm so glad I found this band. I originally heard of them from my sisters and I saw them in the paper, so I decided to look them up and I love every song of theirs that I hear. :')
Mumford and Sons is my favorite because it takes my mind away from my life for a few minutes. Thoughts turn into a music video.
"Let me die where I lie, beneath the curse of these lovers eyes." Getting those words tattooed on my shin tomorrow for my 22nd birthday. No one will ever know how much these words and this song means to me. But it's ok, because I do.
You must be 30 now. Did you tatto those words? I also love this song!!
@@andresvinueza713 haha and same
We need to know?!
the question still continues friend
For me, it really hits hard when the Chorus starts: " I do not ask the price I pay, I must live with my quiet rage, tame the ghosts in my head that run me wild and wish me dead"...
Haha just sent the chorus to someone and said at least someone gets it’s 🤣
I absolutely adore this song, and just Mumford and Sons in general. They're fabulous:).
Once again a British band sweeps the floor with all the rest. When will you guys stop making such amazing music? I hope never. God knows it's needed these days.
+jennifer collins they must be Irish to make that good music
+jennifer collins They're from London. A simple google search would have saved you the trouble in correcting someone other than yourself. lol.
Hey hey, hold up. What about the good American bands? Imagine dragons, if you like rock. I don't know about country, but instrumental, TSFH is amazing. I think they're based in CA, if you dig, though, you can find good music from anywhere. Germany, England, America, Russia, just anywhere.
+pádraic1998 i don't get it
theyre not irish
Can we all just take a moment to reflect on the fact that everything mumford and sons writes is amazing.
All the feels...
Every time I listen to a Mumfords and Sons song I get shivers through my body. Their music is just so powerful and moving
SAME

Jesus agrees! :P

Been listening to this song since it appeared on TH-cam, and I still cannot believe it is live.
you can not only feel the emotion from his voice but the instruments as well. This song is straight from the heart.
For a while I lost my faith in the direction of "today's" music, Mumford and Sons has brought back my faith! Truly the voice of a generation, great band....great lyrics and creativity that goes above and beyond!

great song, great band. Wish there were more out there like these guys
I just came across this beautiful band last night as I was listening to Allison Krauss and Gillian Welch AND WOW OH WOW just amazing GODS given talent they have! Just simply beautiful AND profound. God bless you gents.:D+ xxx boo muah!
i love and i lost yet i am grateful to have loved just the same
Very little music actually touches me.....Mumford & Sons is a group that does it every time! Thanks guys for making such amazing music!
Love the chorus!
But do not ask the price I paid,
I must live with my quiet rage,
Tame the ghosts in my head,
That run wild and wish me dead.
Should you shake my ash to the wind
Lord, forget all of my sins
Oh, let me die where I lie
Neath the curse of my lover's eyes.
Can really personally relate *Smiles* :)

Going to see Mumford & Sons tonight in Little Rock in less than 5 hours and I'm so excited I might just die oh dear God
+Kayleigh Ross going to see them in new orleans tomorrow. so excited
How'd it go?..
I see them at the o2 in London 7 years ago unreal best I've ever seen. Off to see them at the o2 November 2018 can't wait
Kayleigh Ross I’m going next week was it good xxx
Love all their songs!! They are an awesome group with a unique sound. Would love to see them in person.
way to wrap up the last 5 years for me guys. I love this
To all the guys who've come here and derided this band's music. Eat your hearts out, but you can't do a thing about the fact that this band has Class. Top Class. Their music is truly unique. Mumford & Sons Rocks
This pretty much sums up my thoughts to a loved one ...
Same
so relatable. I love these guys, each song is better then the last and if you have ever experienced, hope, dispair, depression, and or faith you love the words of each song!
So good so good so good!!!!

This band is gold ! respect from France
When you can't tell whether this is live or the studio version is when you know you're listening to a good band.
Exactly! I had to check the description whether or not this was the studio version or live version because they're just so good.
The only band that can get me to fan-girl at any given time of any day. I love them so much :)
but do not ask the price I paid, I must live with my quiet rage, tame the ghosts in my head, they run wild and wish me dead, shake my ash to the wind, forgive all my sins
Let me die where I lie,
'neath the curse of my Lover's Eyes
*D chord played aggressively*
Saw their first Kentucky show in Louisville. They opened with this song. I can easily say it's the best show I've been to in years. The way they connect with their audience is insane.
I hope they come to Canada soon
+NISBET BAZELEY They are
Jason Nisbet They came to Quebec. I hope they come to Canada again soon
No songs give me more goosebumps than Mumford and Sons.
I tell ya what, from 1:27 to 1:55 that shit touched my soul
I am a huge Avett Brothers fan & I didn't think it was possible for me to love a band as much as I do them....but Mumford n Sons does the same thing to my heart & soul as they do.

And some maintain there are no great music talents out there today. These guys are great! I guess that not all current music is shit in the form of Kanye West...
+robert glenn This is a good song but let's be honest, all Mumford and Sons songs sound the same.
***** I haven't heard their entire collection. But, this song I came across quite by accident and it hit the spot.
+David Johnson Aside from a few very up tempo numbers they are often a bit sullen but the lyrics are amazing and the band is very, very talented. For me it is the lyrics by far. I love this band.

Love was kind, for a time

This is the first time i am hearing a Mumford and Sons song. Most beautiful voice I have ever, ever heard. Ever.
But do not ask the price I pay
I must live with my quiet rage
Tame the ghosts in my head
That run wild and wish me dead
Story of my life right there... i struggled with suicidal thoughts for as long as i could remember i'm stable now i guess ,but i never did relate to any band more than i did to this band no more emo rock no anger issues guess i can say there was light at the end of the tunnel.

Stay strong and keep smiling. im a random stranger who knows so if u want to chat the offer is there

These men are wonderful people. Your music takes me to a happy place. Thank you.

Brings peace inside of me. People today need to be touched by this music. pures the soul alittle.
OMG I LOVETT!!! (Chatch the pun?) ;)

And I'll walk slow, I'll walk slow.

BIG like :D take my hand, help me on my way
I´ve seen them with my girlfriend at Hurricane this year, was the best performance this year so far. Also the crowd was the best one I´ve ever experienced. You will never forget this moment seeing them live... Was one of the most beautiful moments in my life...
What version of the song is this? It is not the one in the Babel album and neither the one from "The road to the red rocks"...
chessmanu1 I've been wondering that for years lol
its the them live on i heart radio back in the day
I'm 99 per cent sure it's their set from Live on Letterman
i wish i could catch and bottle up the feeling that mumford and sons' music gives me and share it with the world, for it is quite possibly the world's best feeling.
the british are the best
Talk about a proud pappa. This is my 11 year old son's favorite song. Talent rules.
Just hare because I've had my heart broken!
Marcus is absolutely brilliant. He is a brilliant artist. He puts so much heart into his music. I think that the banjo is a even better part to the song.
this is the shit
rock on
+Stephanie Bridges folk on
This song speaks to me on so many levels. Mumford & Sons gives me a lump in my throat along with butterflies in my stomach at the same time in the same song. In my opinion, that's musical perfection right there.
The hell is wrong with user 'THEWALRUSBALL'? Is he constantly drunk or something?
i think he'd just a Doe Dick!!!!!!!
Paul S. Weikert True that
William Bishop probably... or maybe he lives in colorado and is really, really high 24/7
Every word used, paints a thousand pictures. How i love this band!
Here because it's Katrina Kaif's most favorite song.
Jay Kay me too ^_^ just because Katrina love it
every time,
I open you.tube,
listening to this & that melody,
then,
well, it's not because I do want to listen to U, folkes,
It simply comes the way,
U're pleasing my mood,
THX
He can't hit the note lol, but I don't frikin care.
what do you mean?
Hahaha what?? Are you deaf?
Is it just me, or do they just not have enough songs. I know every song by heart! I LOVE these guys. Best band out there in my opinion.
Mumford and Sons are real musicians adn their fans are people who can really appreciate music at it's best.
It's better to have loved than to have never loved at all
Fffff not any word will ever be able to explain how I feel when I listen to you guys. Never. Love your songs !
Saw them live on PinkPop 2012, loved it! Were in front row the whole time. They're awesome!
Your family? Mate the whole world is cheering you for listening to this song!
Probably one of my more favorite M&S songs. Was in an incredibly bad mood about 5minutes and 18 seconds ago but now how could I be mad. Love M&S and I cannot wait for more songs too come out from them.
saw them live today. They opened with this. One of the most incredible nights of my life
They have such an enormous amount of class. Everything they do is just so fantastic.
I think this is one of the most beautiful songs I've EVER heard.
the lyrics pull me, their voices, this music reaches beyond my grasp. Love their music.
This music is so amazing and riveting on so many levels for me. I love this group so much!
These dudes stand the test of time for real. Love it still.
Once in a while you encounter a song that describes your exact situation so perfectly it startles you into reverent speachlessness. Wow.
I love it how his voice cracked a bit in the end.
now that is real singing.
THANKS TO THIS WEDDING I KNEW THE SUBJECT AND AFTER THAT, I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THEM. BEAUTIFUL TOPIC !!!!!! DESDE ROSARIO ARGENTINA ; BRAVOOOOO !!!!
No matter who posts a song from Mumford and Sons, it has more than a Thousand Hits
Marcus' voice is unique and the band just adds the music like adding cream to coffee.
So smooth!
Going through life I've always felt Evil was mocking me through The Living Beings I Love So Much.. In Every Lifetime I Will Fall Loving you and Never Truly being Seen by You As I Was and will Always Be your Neighbor.....
Love...that is all I can say! You make my heart sing....and I am an old woman, but, you all are amazing!
I love how raw they sound and how amazing they are. Cannot wait to see them live.
Dear Mumford & Sons,
Please stop being so awesome. I keep almost getting in accidents searching for your songs on my iPod while driving. Thank you.
_Adam
i just want to go see them in concert there music does alot to me it calms me takes me away to another place make me forget the bad and remember the great times of my life God i thank them for there wonderful songs :)
M&S, A brilliant beacon of light and sheer musical bliss from a music industry on it's death bed. There is hope my friends...
SEE THIS BAND LIVE.
It makes me appreciate their music so much more, which I didn't think was possible.
Whoa, listening to this with your headphones in really helps you appreciate the harmonies in the chorus.
aaahhh!what a band!saw them in montreal this year live!best concert ever!
Man their just too good, nobody can compare. I've been waiting for their new album for too long, i hope they release it soon.
Mumford and Sons gives me the same sense of love and happiness that Dave Matthews Band does.
That show was beyond incredible.
I'm in love w their voices! Love it!! You have to be a very intune with sensitivity of life to enjoy there artistic singing. I would just love to be in the studio and listening to them for a whole day!
Love this group they are exactly the type of music I love to hear. god bless them.
So glad that this song is going to be on the new album!! Can't wait!
I'm so glad I found this band. I originally heard of them from my sisters and I saw them in the paper, so I decided to look them up and I love every song of theirs that I hear. :')
Mumford & Sons is one of the best sounding and best lyrical band in my opinion...
I can not put into words my love for this band.
I am love with this band, I cannot even describe how their music makes me feel.
