I remember when I first heard this song... One of the first few weeks at a new school. My mom was driving me to school. It was a classic spring morning. Dew on the grass, sun shining bright, but quite afternoon bright. Rows of cornfield to my left and just lots of grass and the occasional house to the right. This song came on the radio and ever since then Ive never forgotten it. Sorry about the over descriptivness, but I just remember it so well for some reason.
I loved your "over descriptiveness" !! I have songs like that from when I was younger and moving to a new state, etc. Your description sounds like the state I grew up in - Iowa. For me being much older, the song actually always makes me think of my son as a teenager -- I guess he listened to this song when he was younger. It's truly one of those soul grabbing type of songs -- a life affirming feel to it!
I was like 1 or 2 or 3 when I first heard this, I have a feeling would be humanly impossible to remember that moment as vividly as you did. Also, your over descriptiveness has made me inspired to work on my book, thanks!
No, no, I'm not saying that. I know that some of their songs aren't based on their faith. I'm just saying that I love the majority of their songs, whether it be based on their faith or not. I just think their music is really beautiful overall.
I was introduced to this song by my history through literature teacher. We read Plato's allegory of the cave in his class. For a test I wrote about how this song is so similar to Plato's writing. If you like the idea of this song or if it's a bit confusing to you, you should definitely read The Allegory of the Cave. They're so similar, it's almost scary.
anyone who wishes to argue its not about Jesus just choose a few lyrics and google them with the words "scripture about..." in front...eg "scripture about widows and orphans"..."The makers hand" or like in their I will wait song...do that for almost any line in that song and it has come from a scripture. "Tethered mind" "Fix my eyes" they are such an awesome band. LOVE THEM
"You can understand dependence when you know the makers hand." "And I need freedom now, And I need to know how to live my life as it's meant to be." I don't understand how I can relate so much to these lyrics. All I know is they are true and beautiful :)
Hannah Bowtie this is the only part I heard when I first ever heard of this song and it was off a Eddsworld Tord flipnote... you should have seen what I thought the song was called 😝
My dad used to play this all the time back ten years ago. What I wouldn’t give to live just a day back then, just an hour. I loved this song when I was younger and my love hasn’t dwindled in the least!!!
Im 16, and lately ive been feeling a little depressed and down. But this song made me change it all. I learned that i must hold on hope, and that i cant let myself hurt myself, and that I can find my strength, and live my life as its meant to be. Thank you Mumford and Sons :)
And I will hold on hope And I won't let you choke on the noose around you neck And I will find strength in pain Those words are deep down. Find that strength in your pain.
I first listened tothis in English cuz we were reading the Odyssey, and, you know, this song has a lot of allusions to the Odyssey. Thank you, Mr. Nevins!
Reminds me of the strained relationship ive had with my Gf and how ive tried everything in the past to fix things. But now its up to her, and im holding onto hope, and shes doing an amazing job, shes truly changed for the better. I love her.
I don't know why, but this is the best version of this song i have heard! It's probably because the background music is so clear. It's just a shame that the music is so low.
When Allan my sisters boyfriend went missing last year, My sister heard this song, She began to flood with tears as the lyrics explained everything that was going on at the time.Now everytime i hear this it reminds me of him, RIP Allan Graham, Forever in my heart
I believe this was their best song. Before my interest in Mumford and Sons, I use to listen to this song a lot, and it was this very song that introduced me to the band and their many other hits (Sigh No More, Little Lion Man, Blank White Page, I Gave You All, and so on)!
In literature class, today, we listened to this song and parts of it remind me of The Odyssey. Which is what we did. I forgot how much I love this song
Okay so this was the song i listened to on my 19 hour trip DRIVING to Florida i literally only played this song and another song the WHOLE trip. That shows you how truly amazing this song is..really. i love them
Love. Love. Love. This does reference the Odyssey at parts, but, hey, that doesn't mean it has to be taken for more than what it is-a simply amazing song.
Actually, there are many different reasons a person can get depressed; many different theories and interpretation. You're right, hormone imbalance is an explanation in some cases, but not all. Think before commenting.
Strength comes from agape love. (for you that dont know what agape is) word represents divine, unconditional, self-sacrificing, active, volitional, and thoughtful love! Love.... it just works
They played this at my friend's funeral on Wednesday. R.I.P. Joshua Moore. You spent a good 16 years on this Earth, and I'm proud you call you friend.
Hope you're doing good, and sorry about the death even though it was long ago.. :/
Bearcake EPW I'm so sorry for you, may he rest in peace. (Even though this comment's pretty old)
Bearcake EPW 😢
sorry to hear that, hope you are better. I would hope so because it has been 3 years
I'm so sorry i know what it's like to loose someone

it's the best song out there, i don't blame ya for descriptivness

It was kinda the same to me.

Even though I'm not Christian and this is a Christian band, I love their music.
+DraconisAurora Join the Christian Church, brother. Join us, one of us!
+DraconisAurora Their music doesn't have to be about Christianity if you don't make it so.

I love how these guys sing about the Lord without being in peoples face about it. Very clever, and very humble. Love your music guys

Did you think “my broken mind” or “let me at the truth” 💀💀

And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke on the noose around you neck
And I will find strength in pain
Those words are deep down. Find that strength in your pain.

Thank you, Mumford & Sons for this message of truth that should help people awaken from their slumber
This was my dads song. He died 4 months ago. Always in my heart and my mind. Love you dad.
This song saved my life. I has a special meaning to it. I love it.
There aren't many songs that make me want to cry every time I hear them.
But this? This is just perfect.
This song makes me feel so good about... everything. I love all of Mumford and Sons songs!

I don't sing... They make me sing! lol One of The Best bands out there. Hands down!
Love this song... Got a bluegrassy sound to it. Got goosebumps the first time I heard it. Not many songs do that!
This song has so much meaning. It's so thoughtful and catchy.
We sang this at camp. We only used one guitar and one banjo and 75 voices singing at once. Best. Time. Ever.
The only song on youtube with absolutely no hating in the comments! Mumford & Sons fans are the best!
Very powerful and poetic song. I've found a new favourite band.
I believe this was their best song.
Before my interest in Mumford and Sons, I use to listen to this song a lot, and it was this very song that introduced me to the band and their many other hits (Sigh No More, Little Lion Man, Blank White Page, I Gave You All, and so on)!
Oh god Mumford & Sons are growing on me! ♥

MUMFORD AND SONS ARE AWESOME I LOVE THEIR SONGS
I love this band ! Simply amazing. Just love his husky voice :D
I love how Mumford and Sons have such great words in their songs.. ^-^ Truly amazing.
My orchestra teacher plays this song on the piano, and it's amazing! It takes everything not to sit u and sing the lyrics during class when he plays.
These guys are my new fav band!
In literature class, today, we listened to this song and parts of it remind me of The Odyssey. Which is what we did. I forgot how much I love this song
i love the sound of the lead singer...so unique
and for some reason since i first heard of them, im liking folk more
I love this song. I love their style. I love them unconditionally...
Just here to remind people that this song is still great
All this time, I had no idea how amazing this song is. Man tears: ACTIVATE!!

Mumford and Sons is the only band in which I will willingly listen to songs with banjo in it.

i was never into music until these came along, they just make me want to sing along a stomp my feet to the beat
i couldnt get enough of this song!
And IIIIII Find myself crying...:D Hehe I love this song, thanks for posting!
i think you did an awesome job with the lyrics and timing i could fallow along just fine :)
I remember this song from when I was like...6. I couldn't find and now that I have it brings back so much nostalgia
Probably the best song ever.
This music is great simply because it has way more depth than so many other bands out there
This was on my music GCSE and im so glad it was. I love it 💕
Does anyone beside me know that this song was based off of Plato's the Cave theory?
I thought I was the only one!
What is that?
Oh the same Plato that spoke at a statue with the exception "TO THE UNKNOWN GOD "
No, you’re the only one :)
Can't. Stop. Listening.
I very much agree. Little Lion Man is my favorite Mumford and Sons song.
Looking at the lyrics, this seems like a song for drug addiction? This song has a strong meaning to it.
Love the song~ Excellently done.
LOVE THIS SONG helped me get through tough times :/
Mumford & sons
i love singing along to this :D nice vid.. you got the timing perfect.. the others ive looked at are shocking :s
I keep hearing this magnificent song at work during the nightshift.
Love. Love. Love. This does reference the Odyssey at parts, but, hey, that doesn't mean it has to be taken for more than what it is-a simply amazing song.
man, this is great, i thank you very much for this creation, and i would like to request Dust Bowl Dance by Mumford Sons :}
Been trying to find this song for a long time now! Cool
Just saw saw them in concert... they were AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
You obviously can't see whats infront of you. This has such a big philosophical meaning.
One of their best songs i think :)
Along with "Pumped Up Kicks" and "Good Life", it reminds me of my summer in Seattle, the "Click" 98.9FM kept playing those over and over again... :)
My english teacher played this song in the lesson.. I can't stop listening now :)
I like this version so much better than the more popular one.
