Somber Mood

My brother has recently gotten me hooked on the band Mumford and Sons. They are an English folk rock band. To tell the honest truth, I'm sort of having a love affair with them. To say i'm obsessed would be about right. There is something about the lyrics that I just get lost in. They are so poetic and deep. I actually find the folkiness (if they is even a word) somewhat soothing even with the melancholy that surrounds the lyrics. Little Lion Man was the song Chris played for me that got me hooked. I find myself playing it over and over and even singing it at the top of my lungs from time to time. Who knew that singing "fucked" over and over was quite enjoyable ;) Actually, I listen to the entire album on repeat, and there are not many albums I can do that with. This probably does not help me in my quest for happiness by loving a band whose songs are full of depression and death, but oh well.

Little Lion Man

Weep for yourself, my man,
you'll never be what is in your heart
weep little lion man,
you're not as brave as you were at the start
rate yourself and rake yourself,
take all the courage you have left
wasted on fixing all the problems
that you made in your own head

but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?
didn't I, my...

tremble for yourself, my man,
you know that you have seen this all before
tremble little lion man,
you'll never settle for any of your scores
your grace is wasted in your face,
your boldness stands alone among the wreck
learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck

but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?

but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?
didn't I, my dear?

but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?

but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?
didn't I, my dear?
