It's song from quite a while back, so he probably tinkered with it a lot. This version definitely says "I'll never be camera shy." - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1TfdHn4WuU&feature=related |

They do sing both. I've a live version where they sing 'consign' but I based this on the studio version (Little Lion Man B-Side) in which I'm pretty sure it's 'subscribe' that they sing. |

Could be Jo, I transcribed these from the original Love Your Ground EP version in which I always heard 'and the hole', but listening to the B-side version on the Winter Winds single it could be really be either, depending on what you listen for. But yeah, fantastic band. |

| Mumford & Sons – Timshel Lyrics

I've just read John Steinbeck's East Of Eden and have done a lot of thinking about this song since. Too much thinking, actually. The word 'timshel' is Hebrew and translates into English as 'thou mayest', according to East Of Eden. This will explain it a lot better than I can - http://timshel.org/timshel.php
I read on YouTube (I think!) that this was written after falling into the sea at the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. This relates to the start of the song at least. After this, I get lost a little. If we stick to the 'thou mayest' interpretation, what I get is that the the singer is reaching out to someone and saying that the help is there if they want it, it's their choice.
The lines "And you have your choices/And these are what make man great/His ladder to the stars" are basically taken straight out of East Of Eden, and are proof of sorts that the song's meaning is hidden in there somewhere.
I'm aware that I haven't really done a great amount in helping to interpret the meaning of the song here, but there's plenty to think about, if theres anyone out there to do it. Only one previous comment!!? - Scandalous for a band of this quality.
The song itself is simply breathtaking, I'm gonna see them in Dublin next week, can't wait! |

All in all, I actually like Around The Sun, but I'll cede to the critics that either this song or High Speed Train are probably REM's worst. |

I think the singer in this was overly affectionate or moving things too quickly for the other person and so she broke him off ("Where was my fault in loving you with my whole heart"). Now she's with someone else and this is who is addressed in the first verse.
I might just think that though because something similar had just happenned to me the first time I heard this song. Several Mumford and Sons lyrics are creepily reflective of the goings on in my own life. |
