Mumford & Sons - Lover of the Light

I'd never forgive myself if one of my first few posted weren't about Mumford & Sons. When I found these boys on the interwebs a year or so ago, I wasn't prepared for the connection they would make me feel with not only their music, but also with the music of the bands they lead me to find. Their music is everything I love: powerful lyrics, gorgeous vocals, acoustic guitars, mandolins, banjos, dobros, and, best of all, their recordings are meant to sound like their live shows. Yes, I have seen them live, but knowing each song inside and out could not have prepared me for what I was about to behold. Though my ticket was for the balcony, I snuck into the ground floor area and shoved my way to the front, where I stood in awe for 2 hours and watched the masterpiece of four English men playing their hearts and souls out in a magnificent musical medium I felt was only meant for me. This band is the God that reins over my collection of favorites; some may climb close, but it's hard to reach something so divine. Search youtube for more songs. Enjoy.
