I resisted liking Mumford and Sons for awhile because I don't like to like things other people like. It drives my wife crazy.
I had to give Mumford a chance after asking too many times, "What band is this?" I just wanted to share this song and video because I like it, and maybe you like liking things other people like. I tried to look up the meaning behind the song because, of the few things I do like, writing is obviously one of them and I know there is always a meaning behind the written words. Message boards had people saying, "I think it means (and then typing in lyrics from the song)."
They were no help. My take on it is a story about a prodigal, having lost everything familiar to him, gotten into some trouble and now searching for answers anywhere he can.
Also, this live version is cool because Mumford goes crazy on the drums.
