Mumford & Sons playing "Broken Crown" at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN on 3/7/12.

How can someone yell when he's singing this song? Just shut up, listen and cry.

[@megasauruss]

It’s a concert.

[@andyg3]

people that dont shut up are so fuckin annoying

[@benchase5797]

Because of different people being different, this is a workout song for me. It gets me pumped

[@PocketMonster317]

People he's performing for you stop, shut up, just listen and enjoy.

[@joeleewoods1382]

HE BROKE HIS GUITAR STRUNG AND STILL SOUNDED PERFECT ❤️

[@joelancon7231]

He didn't necessarily need that string

[@crimzonart1269]

When l was 9 l was hipe when l was listening this . This is one of the greatest song l have heard shout out for this man whose playing this. I will not stop listening

[@natalienigel4493]

I have so much respect for Mumford and Sons. Every one of their songs, is a masterpiece and they are so passionate when they sing. Best music group I've ever heard.

[@lucadullaart6118]

+Natalie Mogel all the lyrics are so deep aswel, that's (apart from the brilliant composition aswel of course) what gives the songs so much heart.

[@natalienigel4493]

+Luca Dullaart Definitely!!

[@TheDallasDwayne]

A show with The Oh Hello's as an opener and Mumford and Sons headlining would be enough for me to die happy.

[@AggroBindestrichJoe]

Bet u never heard of KREATOOOR

[@lea-rw5cb]

But they haven't had much success regarding singles in charts a very underrated band there music is brilliant,if the charts were based on talent they would be no 1 everytime compared to some of the music now all about image and about the actual talent of the singer

[@laylahassan704]

I don't know why I listening to this. I always get a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes from this song. the pain in his voice is overwhelming. I'm not particularly religious either, strange. 🤷

[@teku412]

I love how he breaks the string and just keeps going :) This is real music

[@christianrodriguez1527]

This is my favorite song of all time. The whole lyric of this song is awesome!. This song inspired me to write a fragment for my future book: "And when all her injustices were discovered under her reign, that was the day she lost all his loyalty and he swore to himself that would not follow anyone else and from now on, he will forge his own destiny. Finally, he prepared all his things and thus entered the abyss without turning to see everything he was about to leave behind ... "

[@AslanW]

Fucking amazing, and the string breaking at the very last strum before the last lines were a perfect finish to the crescendo, intense.

[@Sunnycrackers528]

You can feel their passion for the songs, their insturments, and the music when they play. Truly amazing.

[@aliciamays6777]

Their best song.

[@crippledcrusader1321]

with how he plays 2:23, you can tell he has a wholehearted passion for music.

[@Rhoso7]

I just broke the exact same string while tuning my guitar for this very song.

[@Mustafa-xd6jz]

I'LL NEVER PLAY YOUR BROKEN STRING!!

[@jeeb2244]

@@Mustafa-xd6jz how... just... why...

[@An-Alien-On-Earth]

Cool story bro

[@ryenneritchie8503]

I think he looked so emotional because this is a very personal song that he specifically said he wasn't going to give anyone the true meaning of it

[@ericm8917]

What an underrated performance, this belongs millions of views

[@duffyzigfreid6417]

What a piece!! This music speaks to my soul. I recently purchased Babel, of all of the tracks this has to be my personal favorite.

[@FearEeatsTheSoul]

The people talking in the background while having the oppurtunity to be there and see this is just ignorant. That chick's not getting invited ever again!LOL

[@Haesslicherblaubarsch]

This song is the most precious piece of gods heart that ever existed.

[@mrgoldenbird97]

Man this song is, just amazing.

[@VeronikaCullen]

Best song ever!

[@davi86poars]

totaly agree!

[@StaXks_Gaming]

I super totally agree!

[@landonsommers9589]

This song is so amazing!!!!! I love how he broke the string at the end😂. Just shows how passionately he was playing

[@JelArts]

Yeah, they should be a bit more respectful.

[@bcfcpker]

some people are just too lucky to be there! I'm the biggest fan of Mumford & Sons ever and I've been to unlucky to get to a show! LIVEN UP PEOPLE!!!!!

[@kathrynharris7589]

I think, as music fans themselves, they can understand and appreciate how someone can be so moved by the music of a bunch of "ordinary guys". There must be a band/artist that moves you!? Consider that perhaps not everyone feels that way about that band/artist but if you do, that's all that really matters. That's what makes the "relationship" between musician and fan so amazing.

[@hhutcheo]

and now it's purely brilliant!

[@Haesslicherblaubarsch]

This is literally the best song I've ever heard in my whole entire life!

[@happylmk]

I saw them sing this live last night and immediately fell in love with this song. Oh god they're so freaking good live:D

[@perlzwazhere3]

I will be buried to this song !!! I freaking love this song !!!

[@niryana73]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mumford & Sons. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!

[@Braendis666]

Just got "Babel" It's so awesome!!! Love that song

[@monical4]

One of my absolute most favourite songs from these guys. Still can't believe that I get to see them next month.

[@alexussharp4850]

i pray that this will be on their new album

[@metalgear1826]

one of very few bands whos quality only intensifies when played live rather than falters like so many others.

[@nedproblems874]

oh my bloody life !! seriously I think I've been living under a massive shi...g rock how am I only just discovering this absolute GEM !!!!!!

[@jordynb420]

i love how their live versions always sound as good as the studio versions! :)

[@ruthjohnson4380]

I don’t know why I love it so much when musicians break the strings on their guitars.. I guess it’s shows how hard they’re playing.

[@Nichole2228]

my favorite song ever...so mad I can't get tickets for 2013 tour :(

[@franciscoalegria8218]

That broken guitar string says it all

[@achinmit1]

I just keep waiting for the Rajasthani folk to kick in. You cant unhear that version if you listen to it once. Dharohar project is something out of this world...

[@IsaacEstrada12]

This song makes me feel strong. Love it.

[@VegetaSoup]

Just saw them a few days ago and damn, they are just as good as they were in 2012. I think the best part of them performing live is just how into it they get with each song.

[@madkeen87]

Best song on the Album! i was shattered when they didn't perfom this on live at the Brisbane, Aus concert :( OR the Road to Red Rocks dvd :(

[@vaidehidesai6527]

Holy shit, this next album is going to be badass!!!!!

[@thunder-hedge]

It was indeed haha

[@bballerash12]

first time hearing this song live, amazing show!

[@TheOneAndOnlyCAAnna]

I just got their album today! So excited!!!! Love it so much! This song...brings me to tears! ;w;

[@erinw13]

Saw them last night and can't get over how amazing they were live

[@SalemGamorrah]

I agree with you, This just happens to be a song filled with anger or resent perhaps, particularly in the studio version. Very aggressive and very beautiful.

[@CaseyReads]

This is my favorite song ever!!!!!!

[@tavo.B]

Their version of this song with Dharohar Project and Laura Marling is soooooo epic! Look it up. Guarantee to blow your mind.

[@An-Alien-On-Earth]

I was there this night it was amazing

It's just because he destroys his strings when he plays songs like this. I love it!

Great song. This camera captures an awesome image and typical sound.

[@brod565]

AWWW Broken Crown it's been awhile since they have played this live I LOVE IT !! Marcus said he has an incredibly "strong " right arm that's why he's always breaking strings LOL

Broken Crown Mumford & Sons Album: Babel Touch my mouth And hold my tongue I'll never be your chosen one I'll be home, safely tucked away Well you can't tempt me if I don't see the day The pull on my flesh was just too strong It stifled the choice and the air in my lungs Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie 'Coz when I open my body, I breathe a lie I will not speak of your sin There was a way out for him The mirror shows not Your values are all shot But oh, my heart was flawed I knew my weakness So hold my hand Consign me not to darkness So crawl on my belly til the sun goes down I'll never wear your broken crown I took the road and I fucked it all the way Now in this twilight, how dare you speak of grace So crawl on my belly til the sun goes down I'll never wear your broken crown I took the road and I fucked it all the way Now in this twilight, how dare you speak of grace So crawl on my belly til the sun goes down I'll never wear your broken crown I can take the road and I can fuck it all the way But in this twilight, our choices seal our fate Written by: BENJAMIN WALTER DAVID LOVETT, EDWARD JAMES MILTON DWANE, MARCUS OLIVER JOHNSTONE MUMFORD, WINSTON AUBREY ALADAR MARSHALL Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group ℗ 2912 Glassnote Entertainment Group LLC under license from Mumford & Sons, distributed by AWAL

done with uni work, now it's time to listen this magical song, look at into his eyes and smoke a cigarette till morning.

[@solomonsignet]

This song is beast..

[@luktheduk68]

I love To Darkness, and I love this song. I hope this is on their 2nd album

[@regularfin6623]

Marcus is like "fuckin high E broke..."

[@Matttized]

It's a D in this song. He tunes it to an open D minor tuning.

[@IgnoreMyName]

Matttized Funny thing is that even if it was in standard, it wouldnt be the high E. He broke the G string, which in open D is F#.

[@heavensshareholder]

IgnoreMyName The song is tuned to open D minor so that would be an F not F#

[@IgnoreMyName]

Sorry mate, it's F#, Marcus has said it himself

[@heavensshareholder]

That's the case for most of their songs...but for "I Gave All" and "Broken Crown" it's F. For songs like "Babel", "Holland Road", "The Cave", and "Lover's Eyes," it's an F#, as they're open D tuning. Although "The Cave" is capoed to open E tuning.

[@rachelgreiser]

I love this Mumford & sons and worry about new Mumford without banjos. :(

[@allyrickert4074]

I was at first too but they're still really good. It's different, but I still love their music.

You can tell the ppl who r not fans of M&S. cuz they applause early at 3:52 and 4:08 also WTF AUDIENCE WAS ASLEEP. Mumford & Sons r the best. My top fav group artist ❤💚🤍💜

[@Paintbl99]

Broke that string! Such a good song

[@PatrickMeehan1982]

Yes, they reworked it and named it "Broken Crown".

[@alexandermason60]

The audience weren't as good as I expected them to be. But man the song is one of my top favorites.

[@stephaniediane23]

He is a FREAKING BEAST! ahhhhhhhh.

[@JaniceArrington]

Thanks great show great night great sharing

[@zachjamz]

The harmonies in this version remind me of system of a down, so freaking cool

[@charmainehodgkiss239]

1:25 of this song gives me goose bumps every time! I love how he sings this so passionately. Anyone talking during this song does not deserve to be at a Mumford concert. I am American and utterly ashamed. Please, respect the artist on stage!

[@TheGorgatron515]

I agree a few of them were being obnoxious but you have to remember really good musicians can be fueled by the crowd. Some band to deal with it well some don't. Take red hot chili peppers for instance, I don't really like most of their music but seeing them live was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. They feed off of each other's energy in the crowd's energy so well that it makes the experience so much better. I do feel though that some of them could have waited until the end of the song for the loud screaming. I guess it's possible they didn't realize there was more to the song. But as I said a good musician uses the energy of the crowd never lets it hold them back.

[@mikasangrillz]

This crowd is way more calm than I'd ever be if I was that close to the stage

[@cayde-6144]

2 words, fucking amazing

[@davidwalker228]

It's in Open D minor actually, (DADFAD) - previously used in 'I Gave You All' and 'Thistle and Weeds'. Like a lot of Mumford & Songs, the sound is mainly through just fretting the lowest bass string, and the 3rd string (what is normally G), leaving the others open to ring out. In this tuning, watching the videos it should be relatively easy to figure out.

[@TokyoKazama]

Its actually one of the most bad ass things I've ever seen during a live performance. A string breaking, luckily it was towards the end of the song so he could finish. The cool part was afterwards, when his B string got out of tune. Poor Marcus, lol.

[@joetorres9866]

Amazing regardless the audience M&S always rock.. This is bad ass along with lovers eyes, hold on to what you believe, babel, sigh no more, I will wait, white blank page, roll your stone away, the cave, and of little lion man

[@MisterFortunate]

I wanna more song, like this

[@eimsand]

That song is pretty epic.

[@jpfaguiar]

I have 1 big dream: to be in front of marcus mumford in a concert of them. And I will realize this, don't matter what I do!

[@zimmerwoman62]

I can't help laughing at the man headbanging and playing keyboard at around 2:40. It's awesome that he's getting into the music like that, but... I can't help that it's so funny to me.

[@christophernodine2274]

Broken String is more like it

I spent 3 hours trying to find this song off of Triple J. It was worth it.

[@dreameroftheblue]

obsessed with the keyboardist just going HAM on the left

[@joetorres9866]

And many more they just keep getting better and make feel like music has hope, and bring back a little sense of what led zeppelin did in the 60's and 70's of course different age different music same feeling and passion

[@senchingo]

TOTALLY! can't get that version outta my head... and i thought they said something like "this is gonna be on the next album" or so... and now i got babel and it's this version?! i like REALLY liked that indian version! and the lady with the tamporine kinda thing made it so complete :(

[@tateguy]

Than you for posting this Patrick. Tell your kids I said hey

[@monkeymeat0]

i appreciate your input on this matter
