Cover art for Reminder lyrics by Mumford & Sons

Reminder is a short song and not as popular as some of the others, but from of my favorites from Mumford & Sons

In my opinion, Reminder is a about what someone goes through after a breakup. Specifically about one person in the breakup still loving the other person but also trying to give them space.

The verse.."So I watched the world tear us apart A stoic mind and a bleeding heart You never seen my bleeding heart." Indicates someone to me that considers them selves vapid during the relationship. They regret never showing emotions or love to the other person, and now all these feelings are coming out but they person isn't there to see them. Now they are holding on to all hope that the other person will one day see that they truly love them and that they can try again. Metaphorically they are holding onto the "light" of the other person...they hope that their love will not move on or "fade away" and become just a memory.

My Interpretation
