| Mumford & Sons – Where Are You Now? Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Laura Marling and Marcus Mumford speak back and forth a lot in songs. I am a HUGE HUGE Marling fan, and you would have to know her lyrics to catch on. She writes about him, and he replies. He references two of Marling's songs. "Alpha Shallows" and "Darkness Decends". "Alpha Shallows" He could fall and she can weep But as holy are my feet and hard with mention That dear they may not speak We feel tight when there is tension And our eyes can make us weak And his heart was full of fire at the man he had become And his soul seldom higher with the falsities of fun Could embrace sweet desires and moments as they passed But he feared it ever more, when he saw it didn't last We walk up Holland Avenue And watch the rich as they consume Their product made our hearts exhume an emptiness unrivalled by A hunger that I could control, he'd pray up to his God That he might save their soul The grey in this city is too much to bare The grey in this city is too much to bare And I believe we are meant to be seen and not to be understood And I want to be held by those arms I want to be held by those arms You'll work your thumbs they are sore And you'll work my heart till it's raw And you'll call and you'll call but you'll never be told And I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall We are basic lives We are basic lives Mumford references the city streets and his weakness from "Alpha Shallows". This isn't the only time he responds tho. He responds Marling's "The Beast" with "The Cave" and "Lover's Eyes". There are so many references to her songs, I feel kind of bad for his wife. ;) |
