MUMFORD AND SONS

Hello!!!!

Today I was listening to Mumford and Sons' new album, Babel; I love it, I like all the songs, for example "I will wait", "Not with Haste", "Babel", "Hopeless Wanderer"... I couldn't possibly choose one as my favourite.
However my "problem" with Mumford and Sons is that their music is so beautiful that I sometimes forget to listen to the lyrics!And that's unfair,because they are incredible too!

So today,I was completely amazed by the beauty and the power of "Below My Feet":its lyrics made me cry!
Have you listened to it?
It's so complex and full of meanings..I went on listening to it so many times that I can now sing it with him :)
I don't know why it gets me so much,but I really feel it's expressing many things I've got in me..

So here is the song:

And here are the lyrics (I've underlined the sentences I like the most):

"You were cold as the blood through your bones
And the light which led us from our chosen homes
Well I was lostAnd now I sleep,
Sleep the hours that I can't weep
When all I knew was steeped in blackened hopes
Well I was lost
Keep the earth below my feetFrom my sweat, my blood runs weak
Let me learn from where I have been
Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn

And I was still but I was under your spell
When I was told by Jesus all was well
So all must be wellJust give me time
Well you know your desires and mineSo wrap my flesh in ivy and in twine
For I must be well

Keep the earth below my feet
From my sweat, my blood runs weak
Let me learn from where I have been
Well keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn

Keep the earth below my feet
From my sweat, my blood runs weak
Let me learn from where I have been
Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn
Keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn"

Well,isn't it amazingly beautiful?I know,I've used the words "amazing" and "beautiful" far too many times :)

I'd like to hear what you think!
Thank you for listening!
