Mumford & Sons is a band that just gets under my skin. In the best possible way. From the sweeping songs like Babel and Holland Road to the simple ones like today's choice. There are few bands that really feel like a part of me. And I know that's an odd thing to say, but the music and lyrics to almost all of their songs resonates deeply with in me.
I am forever grateful to my boss out in Illinois for sharing them with me. Thanks Richie!
Song 69
"Reminder" Mumford & Sons, BabelI love to sing along with this song in the car. I don't sing well, so...I just kinda crackle along, but hey, the people riding with me don't seem to mind. Oh wait, no, that doesn't happen.
This song kinda breaks my heart a little, and sometimes I need that. But it has this whole upswing of hope, which if you've been reading, is very important to me. So heartbreaking but hopeful. Yes please.
Then there is the plea for his love to not fade away, as it is the beacon that leads him. There are far worse things to follow than love. I don't hear this song just as a man loving a woman, or a memory of her. But that love is what he doesn't want to fade. The ability to love.
Least that's what hear. Enjoy some lyrical beauty...
A constant reminder of where I can find herAlright folks, that's it. Go forth, enjoy. Share. Love.
A light that might give up the way
Is all that I'm asking for
without her I'm lost
But my love, don't fade away
grace, peace + hope
-Jesse
