Dust Bowl Dance Lyrics

Cover art for Dust Bowl Dance lyrics by Mumford & Sons

I don't think it necessarily matters exactly which event this song refers to. It has such a deeper overall meaning of justice being served in the face of utter disparity. It has elements of story telling from the beginning of time: Good vs. Evil, Revenge, Pride, etc. To squabble about exactly which event in history this is-well, it's just ridiculous. There are more than hundreds of events that have similar circumstances. But alas, I could listen to this song until my ears bled-and even then I think I'd continue to listen to it despite the bloody mess.

In truth, with bloody ears I would still listen to this song and it would still be worth it.... I think some people delve too deeply into what the song could be inspired by that they miss the song entirely.
