I recently came upon a new band called Mumford and Sons, a really inspiring group from the United Kingdom. When people associate folk rock to a band, I normally don't go out of my way to listen to them but Mumford and Sons were a definite exception. They're honestly the most genuine band I know of at the moment. So unique and full of melodic ideas all tied into one. It was hard to pick one song, but I think i'm going to go with ' After the Storm ' the only song they didn't make on stage but actually in the studio. It's really powerful and moving & the lyrics are really up lifting. "And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears. And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears. Get over your hill and see what you find there, With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair." When you listen to the song, you can tell that the writer has been through a lot and is trying to say that you need to experience the bad and sorrow in life in order to know what happiness is, which to me means a lot because I know exactly what he means. I really like this band & I'm so glad I came upon them. (:
I like the subject you chose for your blog entries. I can relate to your passion for music and I also really love this song as well as the band. I didn`t know that this was the only song they recorded in the studio, they`re sick!
