Whilst I haven’t yet had the opportunity to listen to Babel, the newest musical offering form Mumford and Sons, in its entirety. I have, like the rest of you, been bombarded by the ghastly debut single ‘I Will Wait’. But rather than waiting around for a better single to be released, I fished around and found this diamond in the rough. That’s not to say that there aren’t other great tracks on the album. I just haven’t gotten round to hearing them yet. So in the meantime, I’ll leave you with ‘Lover’s Eyes. It’s been around now for over a year so most of you have probably already heard it. But for those of you who haven’t, it’s well worth a listen.
Below is a live version they performed last year for iheart radio. Enjoy!!

Love these guys!
They have been so refreshing amongst such “tuned” music.
I love the new album but still my heart goes out to the first…

Missed MMM, but this makes up for it right. Smooth and nice.

Thank you for sharing! I think you helped me find another band on my list of people that I listen to.

Sad to say this is like the Editors – the second album is a poor attempt at remaking the first. It has the elements without the coherent urgency of heart.
I remain hopeful for part 3 🙂

I feel the same as yomicfit about this. The new album will grow on me though, to be sure. I have been in love with Mumford and Sons for quite a while now.

I was a bit ‘meh’ about Mumford & Sons until I heard this song, and it really was the gateway which introduced me to their charm. Such a gorgeous song. I actually prefer the live version to the album – so much more evocative.

Anything I’ve heard so up to this seemed like a rehash of little lion man, this may change my mind and make me look at the new album. Thanks.

Hopefully, you’ve had time to listen to the whole CD now, the song, “babel” is good as well
