Mumford and Sons - Nothing Is Written (I Will Wait) with lyrics

*Update: On the new album this song will be called 'I will wait', but it will be slightly different than this version of the song.
This song was formerly known as 'Untitled', now often referred to as 'Nothing Is Written'.

My lovely four legged friend of 13 of her 15 years, went to sleep today. Even though it broke my heart, I knew it was her time. But being the selfish human that I am, I asked for a sign. This is the song that was playing on Radio 1 today as I drove to pick up my daughter. Not a station I listen to, and would normally have tuned out. Thanks for the sign. xxx

[@KezOmalley]

this isn't just any music, this is beautifully written, passionately sung M&S music...

[@ShotInStillWaters]

My favorite line in any song ... "You forgave, and I won't forget."

[@Grafeaux]

Oh my goodness...this band is just so amazing...song after song after song after song after song...they just hit you right where you live...lyrics, music, emotion, rhythmn...why don't they have more albums out with songs like this on it...I only have Sigh No More...what other albums do they have out that I need to get my longing ears on??? God bless Mumford and Sons!

[@luckylucy3658]

My friend put "I'll be bold as well as strong and use my head alongside my heart" On a drawing/letter he gave me in the mental hospital thing and I sob every time I see the drawing or hear this song. I hope he's alive. He is the greatest friend ever and he deserves the world. I hope he'll see this I miss him so much and I kept every drawing he gave me they're so important to me. I hope someday I'll get to see him again. I miss you!

[@KarmaHoax]

In love with Mumford & Sons, Since I began listening to them I have not skipped a day without listening to at least three of there songs. I gave you all, Liar, A white blank page, Thistle & weeds.... wait a second.. I love them all!!

[@7000_Skeletons]

I swear every Mumford and Sons song has an epic ending

[@IrishTechnicalThinker]

Thank you Jesus! You forgive but I won't forget! I'll kneel dowm and now I'll be bold as well as strong! I will wait! I do believe this is the song is crying out to Christ, for the second coming of Christ. The Apocalypse.

[@TyWatters47]

I absolutely love these guys! I can put their CD on and not skip one song, I love every one of them! I even want see them live, and I never go to concerts.

[@ivankovacevic1910]

You still listening?

[@elizabethdiaz8409]

They're both great. I wish there was more music like this :)

[@Willlive032]

I am honestly torn between this version and the newer one that came out because they are both just so good

[@vandrade92]

Man... No words to express my feelings about this song...

[@MrsBaird23]

lovee mumford and sons and all their songs

[@mikes1200]

It speaks to she and I, and all that transpires tonight.

[@kidatash]

this song is from the book of life my favorite movie

[@19dec1981]

treasure mumford and sons. they're our little secret gem

[@benparker1041]

Fantastic version.

[@tennhllblly]

@jupiterkid100 This is the first time I have heard this song, but it is clear to me... It is about turning your life over to Jesus Christ, and your journey through life as He molds you as the potter does the clay... :) Praise and glory to Him...

[@mackenziefisher-bach881]

His/her stories were always the best.

[@17LilSouljah]

Nothing Is Written was on “The Cave” EP in 2010. Last year, in Canada, they re-wrote the lyrics a bit and added the “I will wait” part into it.

[@jrshull1]

I don't believe that this is about marriage, but spirituality. However, the wonderful thing about music is it can be subjective, so can mean many things to different individuals'. Regardless, beautiful song, love them and their ingenious music!

[@liamt2oo8]

@Grafeaux sigh no more is their debut album and to date their only album. They have been recently touring alot and have written loads of songs on the road so a new album should be out soon hopefully! absolutely love this band, as you said their lyrics, emotion and music are just beatiful! glad others share the love.

[@dursley100]

i wish that song could go on for ever...

[@icerosecrb]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@topherpetrole1136]

I cry inside every time

[@Hydrocinamatic]

@Lil106692 hopefully i can explain this. haha. with anything mumford it is quite beautiful. i think the best way to do so is to start with the overall structure of the song. i think this song is explaining different stages in life, and the chorus is separating the stages he is trying to express. and after every stage he is taken back to prayer "and i'll kneel down.." i think the stages this 1. being embraced by the arms of a Savior who rescued him from heavy burdens "chorus"

[@AnnoyinglyIrish]

So this stupid spartacus ad at the start has a twitter post in the BG and when you click it ( like I did by mistake ) it takes you to facebook. Great logic. But anyway once I finally got passed that 30 second must-watch non-skippable ad I finally got to listen to this amazing tune. Mumford and Sons I'm hoping will never change.

[@michellewilshaw6558]

Alright, I'm way late on this, but I have to know... when and where was this version recorded? It's like a whole different song, but no less amazing.

[@usbcaufhdmi]

I don't know the exact date.. but their voices sound younger tbh.. in general it was definitely way before they brung out "I will wait".. there are some more studio record from the pre written songs that they've optimized

[@bobjob66]

Some where between Sigh no more and Babel...Marcus said he thought it was crazy how many people bought the album because you could basically peice it together on youtube.

[@meherbs36]

Awesome--this is a great version! (P.S. Did anyone else initially click on this one thinking it would be a Lawrence of Arabia tribute video?)

[@TheWanderlustWolf]

Right?? (Turns out there is a song called "Nothing Is Written" by Phantom/Ghost which IS about LoA, but I love this song as well :D)

[@georgiapaylor5212]

nice begining to the song, also the lyrics are sang with meaning lovee it

[@Lil106692]

Some of those songs are b-sides, some are just unreleased songs they did at concerts of other performances. The new album is in the making, I believe it is nearly done, but I don't know when they will release it! ;) They also made some songs under the name 'The Wedding Band', I recommend checking those out as well! :)

[@fancyshawl11]

This song makes me bawl my eyes out!

[@JhullyAmilly]

I am obsessed with Mumford & sons ;*

[@lismar6566]

there is a new album comming up in sept 2012.as they announced on pinkpop 28-5-2012 in the Netherlands.whoop whoop yea!!

[@smitaminda1]

@Grafeaux These guys have changed my life..they're so much more than just songs. Yes, I'm so proud for flying half way around the world to see them live. I WOULD HAVE NEVER DONE THAT FOR ANOTHER BAND. Another album of their's called ' LOVE YOUR GROUND ' came out even before sigh no more ..so u can go get it :) Hold on to what you believe and sister..etc are on that album :)

[@xBlueEyesCryingx]

I ♥ Mumford and Sons, they can do no wrong

[@Lil106692]

I'm very dutch; tulips in my garden, living next to a windmill, all that stuff (I'm not even making that up haha)

[@Prernamehta12]

awesome! awesome!! awesome!!!

[@dDo0t]

i i i just love them so much.

[@Rushell7]

love this song !!!

[@rRunTheGun]

I needed this. Catharsis.

[@jonsfunkytube]

@Grafeaux i totally agree!! i am learning to sing in this melodic way with rich emotion

[@dDo0t]

My favorite version!!

[@kidatash]

Book of Life!!!!!

[@ritishrestha5447]

one of the best animated movie ♡♡

[@HoodyBoy85]

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW ALBUM!!!

[@Bronydom22]

The Lumineers have been around since '05, M&S only since '07, but The Lumineers only released their first album back in 2012, M&S released their debut in '09.

[@luke-il7lc]

Bronydom22 And your point is?

[@jco765949]

i love mumford and sons so much. they havnt made a bad song yet!

[@FantaUkelele]

Sooo beautiful!!! These guys are brilliant! I love everything they play. I would probably even love the worst song in the world if they did a cover of it

[@PeruvianPrincess3]

OMG ME TOO!! My friend told me about After the Storm and I'm HOOKED! I listen to them while I'm doing my virtual school :) EVERYDAY

[@kmsizzle666]

I think what they've done to this song in terms of the new album is amazing. The changes gave strength to an already powerful song.

[@jmar834]

I miss him so

[@Tobbo2]

I still like this version.

[@JoshJackmanMusic]

I loveeeee this version of it

[@shiggidydig]

This is a heavy-chested song if ever I've heard one, and in the best way.

[@Grafeaux]

@Lil106692 Thanks Lil! While I am glad that they are just at the beginning of their career I can't wait to own more of their music...esp this song! I could listen to it all day...amazing!!! We are truly blessed to have them grace us with their music. :)

[@Tayyzza]

I feel bad that I haven't told any of my friends about this band...They are so good!

[@T1U2C3C4]

@Lil106692 "I'll kneel down and wait" and "you forgave and I wont forget" could be a reference to the acknowledgement of God and that they will serve him. They've made other references about kneeling before the King in other songs

[@Zkamper]

Indeed my friend, indeed.

[@mptheawesome]

This beautiful! 👍

[@CompassRose21]

i love that guy, but sometimes I do wonder. But hey keep writing!

[@LuvForBeauty96]

I LOVE this version

[@Loreman72]

Genius!

[@HoodyBoy85]

I like both versions; even with 'I will Wait' available I come back (obviously) to this one.

[@JayWhitehead]

Music to heal the soul. :)

[@cloudrunner11]

I like that it has the faster, driving part that a lot of the "Sigh No More" songs had, if anyone gets what I'm talking about. I love their new stuff, but it doesn't seem like a lot of it is like the driving fell that makes you want to dance or jump or sing or generally make a nuisance of yourself. Don't get me wrong, I think the lower intensity songs are still very powerful.

[@LittleGuido7]

???? dont know where you are from, but the avett brothers and mumford and sons rein as folk heros in the south.,

[@intply777]

This song takes me back to a time when I would take my soul mate tight around the waist and pull ever so closely to my heart and with the stars standing still in the back whisper ever so softly in her ear that she has stepped into my heart and left footprints to last forever....hope she is doing well

[@Lil106692]

@Grafeaux I agree :) When their album is released here in the netherlands, I will immediately buy it :D They got me through some rough times, like no other music ever did for me :)

[@hybridchild0o]

Agreed 110% This was the first one I listen to years ago and when I heard the over produced version I was disappointed.

[@TheSerpentineOffring]

They played this song in Toronto Oct 23. the ending was WAYYYYYYY better! look it up. slow build entire song till the end. the climax marcus belts out " I will wait, I will wait for you!" its FUCKING EPIC!!!!!!!! they need to make the song exactly as toronto's performance

[@Lil106692]

Oh, I saw the name on the tracklist of the album, but didn't made the connection with this song! I will check it out! :)

[@ConspicuousPeach]

I was jut thinking the same thing, I miss him or her.

[@ashleymeyer1366]

New album in September, 22nd or 24th I read somewhere.. In Afrikaans - Ek kannie wag nie!!

[@monkiaable]

okay that makes sense. i was so confused when they released "i will wait" i thought they forgot about "nothing is written"

[@smelly651]

absolutely beautiful :D great video

[@Lil106692]

@Grafeaux They don't have any other albums, but they are working on a new one. You could search for 'The Wedding Band' Under that name, they released a few songs too :)

[@Lil106692]

I think that if that's the case, it would be the other way around :) As far as I know existed Mumford and Sons before the Lumineers started

[@maggiesam7]

OMG!! That's so amazing.. I can so resonate with that

[@eleaneluvsu]

I love this version! 3:14 to the end is amazing.

[@Lil106692]

Yeah you are right, I deleted 'untitled' from the title. I think it would get a bit too confusing with all those names! This is a demo version of I Will Wait

[@taquitodebuchev8435]

and i'll will wait, i'll will wait.. for you...

[@TrailingSolo]

they announced the new album will be released on September 24 2012 ! (:

[@BalancedTrust]

Anyone out there that sees this say a prayer for Bond DJ

[@pascalnuevayork]

Great version of an ever greater song . I never saw played it in one of their concerts or heard it in a CD. Where is this coming from and available ? (if not a secret)

[@camymac8270]

I think it's a very early version of I will wait, which is available on the 'Babel' album, but I don't think they have released this version.

[@pascalnuevayork]

You're right, not on Babel or any other of their CDs. Hello Lilian de V., where did you find this gem ?

[@Lil106692]

Hi! I think CamymaC is right, it's an early version of I Will Wait, which was called 'Nothing is written' back then. I found it here on youtube, but not sure if it's still around! It really surprised me when I heard the Babel version of this song haha

[@ellendeboer4223]

As said above; it is an early version! :)

[@Lalaith23]

They've changed the chorus, but this is now "I Will Wait" and is going to be on their new album :)

[@Lil106692]

@weetabixish Thank you :) This postcard was a 'stamp' in Photoshop, that I got from the Internet, so I hope indeed no one lives at that adress, cause everyone could get a hold of it! But if you look at the stamp it says '1947' so maybe that's a good sign, that's a while back ;)

[@SailorMoon432]

I like the background theme :)

[@emuellerx]

As far as I know, "Nothing is Written" is "Untitled"...just with a title. "I Will Wait" is a new version of Nothing is Written. 2 songs, 3 names.

[@OfManyLove]

This song it way better than I Will Wait. It just doesn't give the same power as this song does...

[@Lil106692]

@jupiterkid100 I don't know, never thought about it that way. But you could be right! Maybe it's just about two people making a new start.. It's depends on how you look at it.

[@ghostie7790]

i admit i miss this suttle version.

[@PhilCrossbow]

Its catchy:)

[@theichthusfish]

All chuckled at the Fool’s jibes but one dankly dressed dame saw he was wise. She’d read plays as her boots rusted and knew that the wise Fool spoke gems under smears of lunacy but no one listened for while she was a lady of much distinction brought up by the Finnish Finches in the lost art of mustard making she was a bit unbalanced. She gazed into the starry sky as lamps shone on her opera glasses and told the Fryer he was gifted and needed a new outlet, saving him from death by electrocution.

[@Lil106692]

High-five!

[@jessicaweeks1703]

I'll wait for you even though you'll probably never come into my arms..😔👫

[@jessicaweeks1703]

+Downtown clown I've only just seen this lol

[@richardhobson197]

Some parts are nicer, but some parts aren't...AAAAAHHHH

[@stanleythemanley44]

I dunno, I think the new version is better. It has more raw energy I think. And I would say the Mumfords like the new version better too haha, since they are putting it on the album

[@hockeybeest24]

you know it's a good day when you see that TheFryersmuck has both top comments

[@The1977Punk]

If you like Mumford & Sons, you should check out TED DUCHAMP - TIME BOMBS, think you'll enjoy it, cheers!

[@harliediamond]

This song will always be known as 'Nothing Is Written' to me.
