I wrote about the English bluegrass band Mumford and Sons recently and have been listening like crazy since discovering them. Their driving, stomping, thumping style is often countered by intensely gentle lyrics. Growling vocals soften into deeply romantic proclamations.
On "Hold Onto What You Believe" Marcus Mumford sings "This land means less and less to me without you breathing through its trees," which instantly conjures an image of my grandparents' farm, modest acreage in the heart of South Western Ontario, a cluster of trees in the distance. I love this song.
