[@darrianfoster1283]

One of those songs that everyone who likes it wish it well never end !!!!!!!

[@marcellejones5058]

so many memories come with this song i became their biggest fan as soon as it came out, makes me cry with nostalgia

[@Owennnnnnnnnnnnmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm]

So true😊

[@jujubee2141]

[@jujubee2141]

Such a good video

[@AndreKosinski-yx7rg]

[@mikemoreno3271]

I have a love hate relationship with songs that make my eyes sweat

[@peterwatthy8282]

Love you still listening in 2024

[@SasafrasYT]

almost 11 years later and its just as good but with a pinch of extra nostalgia.

[@BorisandHP]

Listening to this song after 6 years makes me cry for two reasons. First is that it's one of the best songs I've ever heard, Second is that i was an idiot for ignoring this band for 6 years

[@brookebethel8915]

I share your pain, and enlightenment!

[@austinpadalec1435]

I feel you. This band is amazing. I love there first two albums. The only reason why i would wanna go back to 2010 to 2013 is cuz this band

[@subtopewdiepie2025]

I found it 8 years late so I get it

[@john-zz6qo]

They are pretty immoral though. As a Christian I feel guilty for listening I shouldn't contribute to their success they stand for some pretty wicked stuff ya know?

[@emmalinsofie5300]

The song that started it all , my obsession.

[@TheJonahATM]

Emmalin Sofie 4 years ago for me. Found this song then replayed it about 100 times before realizing that they have more music and then I pretty much didn't listen to anything else.

[@annie-sulalonde4388]

This never gets old.

[@epicmonkeydrunk]

When it does it will become a legend

[@totalba69]

Annie Hall

[@TheOpinionater]

It was old, about 5 sec into the song.

[@totalba69]

TheOpinionater lol troll

[@subtopewdiepie2025]

Annie never

[@7Smoked1Around3]

"and i will live my life as its meant to be"

[@hellinvador]

"cuz i need freedom now!"

[@Capdiablo]

I was in the 7th grade when this song came out and I hated it. I just remember MusicChoice showing the video every morning before school but now I’m 26 and it’s one of my favorite songs ever. Time flies people change. 💯

[@baberthebeast]

one of those songs that I wished never ended..

[@dwightschrute3712]

It doesn't have to. If you're on a computer just right click the video and click 'replay'.

[@randallmitchell9164]

Wicked Rad lyrics!!

[@SarahSmith-vi7wj]

"I'll find strength in pain and I will change my ways. I'll know my name as it's called again" so powerful. Taking your fears and hardships and growing stronger. That's really the key to life. Keep pressing forward. And re owning your own name and become the person you want to be. I really love this song no doubt.

[@Ozepyon09]

Spot on, friend.

[@hauntedhaunter6148]

I agree completely

[@jackknauff2566]

Sarah Smith OMG YOU GOT HEARTED!

[@bigtux11]

"moving forward" always reads facetiously to me. Of course we move forward, but our past, present and future are ALWAYS entwined.

[@Laserboykillerbacon]

This mans voice is beautiful beyond belief

[@ethanklindt7926]

Laserboy787967/killerbacon78 yep

[@amyliawright494]

Laserboy787967/killerbacon78 sizzles my heart

[@kidlitfanful]

And the harmonies are amazing!

[@craigo9481]

First mumford song i heard and now I never forget

[@thenerdiestegg9414]

Last summer I spent a month at my grandparents lake house and eventually I just ended up sitting on the boat at the dock with this playing along with little lion man and just stareing at the night sky. It was AWSOME and for some reason I got really nostalgic.

[@ooooooooo9548]

TheNerdiestEgg Missouri gang

[@unclerick3310]

every single one of their songs is so inspirational, its incredible

[@kalikoshaw6811]

Can't get enough of this song.

[@Mayniacmetals]

Listening to this gives me the chills

[@Mrsmilanvr5]

This song has always made my heart happy.

[@aimeeg476]

I am forever grateful for this beautiful music. For someone like myself who struggles with severe anxiety and depression, and often finds it difficult and sometimes impossible to put my feelings into words, much less actually communicate those feelings with other people, music is always there and no music has ever done what Mumford and Sons has done for me. 3 years ago when I found them they helped me through my first real battle with depression when I thought there was no way I could ever go on living. Next they were there for me all throughout my battle with anorexia in ways that no one else could be. In the times since then that I have been able to say that I was happy, they were there to validate those feelings as well and make the happy times even better. And today, I sat here crying because I couldn't find the strength to finish out my first semester of college. I instantly turned to this song and I have been reminded of a time where I didn't think I could even make it to college in the first place, and the fact that I have proves quite simply that the constant mental warfare taking place in my head is in fact a battle that can be won, and I will win again just as I have multiple times in the past. I guess my point is, this band will always hold a special place in my heart that I can't really put into words. I want to say they have saved my life (multiple times), but in reality they have time and time again given me the strength that I needed to save myself. And that is the greatest gift I could have asked for. Thank you, you wonderful group of human beings.

[@jamesnw]

+Aimee Gerger I know, it is an awesome song the gets one quite inspired. I'm really glad to hear it is helping your life. ;) Stay strong...

[@TheUkester69]

+Aimee Gerger I've been there and struggled with chronic depression. And I'm long since out of college. A few years ago, I was in a bad way, and there was nothing anyone could say to help. But my best friend, who lives far away, called me and told me to listen to this song, that there was something really special about it. And it was uncommon in that I liked it and "got it" the first time I heard it. I come back to this page to see how others react to it and it's good to see that so many people have had the same reaction to it. But really, I guess it's not so much that I "got it" the first time I heard it, but more that it got me. Good luck to you and thanks for sharing your story. I know this isn't therapy, but still...

[@Stickand]

Stfu

[@jwlapham8154]

I feel ya. I'm not very good with words, never had been. So I can't express my feelings unless they actively sought out to, yet it's always kind of awkward around anybody.

[@marijn177]

That is so great to hear Aimee!! you seem like a really nice person and i am so glad that the music is there for you, bless you Aimee!

[@jyotsarup8303]

I remember watching a music video of this band during my VH1 days when I was 15-16 probably. I remember being glum for some reason but when I saw the video my mood instantly changed. I am still trying to find that video but in the process of it, as I’m going through all their music videos, I’m just filled with this warmth in my heart.

[@LK-qk8fm]

Reading these comments I realize exactly how brilliant this song is...1) the individual message it sends about depression, anxiety, and self doubt. And the inspiration this song gives to fight our inner demons... 2) the societal message. How we as a collective are killing ourselves and our earth. And the inspiration that we shouldn't give up on that either. That we will one day collectively decide to do better.

[@Belerofonte64]

Plato, the cave myth. Just saying.

[@mycalilouis8015]

I'm a recovering addict and this makes me smile my life is new everyday. And to those so called friends good redins smiling face's they all were.I am reborn

[@shiffman53]

This song immediately takes me back to summer of 2010...it's incredible

[@lauraadams1769]

This song is so significant because my mom always listened to this song before she died. This is my first time listening to this in a while and this has brought so many tears to my eyes.❤️

[@daniellebauer3678]

The song i send to my Abusers. I forgive, and without the pain, I wouldn't have broke wide for the freedom i know today. ❤🙏

[@DavidPrice-z4z]

What a testamenony ! ! ! You survived the fall, now come walking . . .

[@helygg8892]

More of a song about the allegory of the cave and the burden enlightened can bring along side the Freedom

[@carumsarene]

This was the first of their songs I listened to. I couldn't stop listening to it, singing it all the time. :) It made me happy. I listen to Mumford and Sons whenever I can, especially now since I need music to calm me down as I go through my rite of passing.

[@brochu4927]

Same !

[@kolekacon7457]

Same!!! What a great song!

[@heavenkept]

"It's empty, in the valley of your heart." But, I will hold on hope, . . .

[@billthortone7320]

Heavenkept I WILL DO THE SAME ! YOUR WORTHY NESS HAVE SURPRESSE THE YEARS YOU ARE ! TO HOLD SO MUCH POWER IN ONES HAND is A GIFT TO NOT ONE I WISH TO NOT HAVE !!!

[@bigtux11]

perhaps it's empty because, scarily, some people are incapable of feeling love, and real empathy, and care, among other human traits that are very important to be a fully functioning happy human being.

[@livaxy10]

I'd just call them my babies, my favorite band ever forever, I'm literally in love with their music.

[@rick3227]

I love this video so much! The 4 guys playing on the beach are the best part for me, the singer is my favorite. He shows so much emotion, I can watch it over and over again.

[@Mysteriousheadlines]

Two years ago my brother showed me Mumford and Sons and this exact video. I had never heard of them before and couldn't believe it. I instantly fell in love with their music. That a group of artists could be this talented with all the instruments they play and the lyrics they write. I was so amazed and still today I love every single one of their songs. I hope to see them in concert some time soon!

[@lordbarristertimsh8050]

I remember first hearing this song back around the summer 2011, my Grandfather and I were in a café when this started on the radio, as soon as we got home, I spent a good amount of time looking for this song, later that afternoon I found it. I got the song for my iPod soon after, but I still come back to this music video on occasion.

[@xriptidez7980]

The guys the band gave instruments to, the singer in that group how he moves his lips was my favorite part of this

[@Treebard]

I love him, too!😘🤩🌹

[@mysticaleve]

The time when I was younger and watch Mumford and Sons on vh1 and thought they were greatest band I've heard.

[@REFoUoG]

I love seeing the older man jam out and sing out loud happy af! Good ish man!😂❤👊

[@rootedtogrowwny]

I love their take on music. A very clever group of blokes.

[@joshuapyatt5168]

So, I'm going deaf slowly and I think your music is going to be one of the things I'll miss most. you guys rock!

[@nnddrrjj]

That banjo part of the song is awesome!

[@daelorspecht7554]

I heard this song on the radio and I got instantly hooked.

[@Treebard]

Me too! Never heard anything by M&S before, but I was an instant fan!

[@charmaynesmylee8800]

My all time Favorite song "The Cave"

[@thesophisticatedvelocirapt7320]

I am sad I found this in 2023... But happy that I found this

[@Littlebigant23]

randomly just cried listening to this band for the first time. Idk what the fuck just happened

[@DaleKellner]

They have that effect on many of us

[@karlas4446]

I remember a friend of mine in high school used to listen to this song nonstop when it first came out, I came to associate it with him. I don't even talk to him anymore and listen to it again makes me feel so nostalgic.

[@broganmcleod4958]

Just perfect. Nothing else to say.

[@oliviarodriguez66]

I still think this is the most beautiful song ever created :') thanks Mumford

[@BIkopsking]

I hope they make more music soon. I'm not able to like every single song of bands these days. But I like every single song Mumford & Sons has produced. Best band ever!

[@joysean21555]

check out young the giant. i've got a feeling you'll like them. check out their track named "apartment". peace.

[@Old-Smoke]

They do have new music! Check out their new albums 'Babel' and 'Wilder Mind'!

[@vinnykumar3704]

Still that goodness in this song. 2024

[@paulnnate]

This album was my CD while driving through the Daintree in FNQ Australia. Lovee you guys!

[@victorbugarin5409]

This band is amazing and the banjo screams great music for the band to come to life...Whose here for 2018,2019,2020?

[@aufschnitt111]

For me, this song marks the time in my life when I moved out of my parent's house. Living in a shifty house, working a thankless job, unsure of what was going to happen next.

[@richelleeasley6492]

For me, this song represents leaving an abusive long-term relationship, after growing up in an abusive home and finding the strength to stand on my own while also learning more about the person I am and appreciating the good inside of me. Needless to say, this song often leaves me in tears.

[@moneysigno9342]

That's exactly how my my big vro was he is now better than he was before

[@moneysigno9342]

And he loves Mumford and Sons and he has been to a concert before

[@BecauseMayhem]

Best film clip EVER

Hey, I really like your profile picture and if you let me, I would make such an amazing mural out of it! If you don’t mind one of your pictures could be my inspiring muse for an art project i’m working on for a client. You will totally get paid for it as well as a bonus also get credits.

OMG YAS.

[@idkmynameyet7589]

Is it still? It’s been two years.😁

[@davidbeaver21]

Still good and I think holds up

[@monicajoy77]

It's empty in the valley of your heart The sun, it rises slowly as you walk Away from all the fears And all the faults you've left behind The harvest left no food for you to eat You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see But I have seen the same I know the shame in your defeat But I will hold on hope And I won't let you choke On the noose around your neck And I will find strength in pain And I will change my ways I'll know my name as it's called again Cause I have other things to fill my time You take what is yours and I'll take mine Now let me at the truth Which will refresh my broken mind So tie me to a post and block my ears I can see widows and orphans through my tears And know my call despite my faults And despite my growing fears But I will hold on hope And I won't let you choke On the noose around your neck And I will find strength in pain And I will change my ways I'll know my name as it's called again So come out of your cave walking on your hands And see the world hanging upside down You can understand dependence When you know the maker's land So make your siren's call And sing all you want I will not hear what you have to say Cause I need freedom now And I need to know how To live my life as it's meant to be And I will hold on hope And I won't let you choke On the noose around your neck And I will find strength in pain And I will change my ways I'll know my name as it's called again

Thank you

This is such and amazing video! Its been years since I listened to this and it brings back so many memories first time I watched this I was just a kid..

To Giuseppe, always missing you. Your little sister.

[@abbylegale]

The guys playing need their own video, I love the emotion and feel of how that guy was singing even though it was Mumford singing

[@KayaAurora420]

I dedicate this song to my son's bio father. He gave me the greatest gift and one who has not only given me so much happiness but led me on a path that has given me everything I have always dreamed of. Sucks for him that he has chosen not to be apart of it and has chosen to destroy the lives of every women he goes near. My life is better off because of meeting him. I will have everything I ever wanted because I did find strength in my pain and I did change my ways. I feel bad for him because his sirens call falls on deaf ears. I am a better person for what he gave me. Thank you for giving me the life I always dreamed of. It sucks for you that you will never be apart of it.

[@Dan-qy6zv]

Damn. That's like, the most savage "thank you for the memories"I've ever heard.

[@M3Lucky]

9mil views? This song was nominated for 4 grammy's!

[@oceanblueskybeach2844]

It's disappointing of the lack of views but they are a great band.

[@domib.3924]

Finally a Grammy given to a GOOD song

[@hattorihanzo2275]

Our conversation proves Mumford and Sons have the best fans! it has restored peoples faith humanity and will go down in history Thank you:) hahah

[@Marijuana698]

Yunno.. When I was younger and saw this for the first time, I thought the Middle Eastern guys were the band.. I thought that for 2 years. Then when I looked them up on Google for the first time, I realized the band was the people on the motorcycles xD

[@Marijuana698]

Scooters*

[@rethsogan251]

Ben Cervera I don’t think those are middle eastern guys, I think they are Afro-Caribbean.

[@QuagmireLXIX]

Since you see those things as "motorcycles", it is totally understandable you couldn't tell the actual singer(s) as well. Rock On Ben!

[@VineetKumar48]

The video has been shot in Goa, India - a popular tourist destination. And the people you see playing instruments are the locals of Goa. Indians. Not middle eastern neither Afro-Caribbean.

[@russelltolbert4284]

Plot twist, they are all the band lol jk

[@grayghost20000]

Great song! I love ❤️ the peculiar sound this group has.

[@mousez7668]

This song brings back so much old memories with my mother. Rest in peace mom.

[@purpledanklady5905]

These guys killed it live

[@oppressive1770]

Where did the time go? Years later, and this song brings back so many memories.

[@Sherman_13]

Wow this song has been playing in the back of my head forever and I have not been able to find it...finally.

[@queenlamby9968]

I left a comment on this video about depression a while ago. I removed it because I don't need the support anymore. I was numb. I spent all my time alone, thinking, hurt. I actually thought I was messed up for good and that I'd never get better. if anyone feels this way; go and explore. No matter who you are you'll find someone who'd be your friend (hopefully more than one person). someone to distract you and someone you care about. Go and explore. There's a whole world of possibilities and you'll never know what they are unless you look.

[@TheCarbonMirror]

+Sydney Welch Hey Sydney, I like the name. Congrats, on at least seeing some sunlight. it gives hope to the rest of us.

this is a great reflection

[@sbriggs_22]

@Crispy explore the world, you may be surprised to find who or what will actual bring you happiness.

[@memaybeyou6276]

+@Crispy His experience could be true for others and false for you. So being it is a subjective rhetorical. comment. you're not wrong

[@Ozzmaster2112]

heard this song for the first time when i saw the video on VH1 a few years ago, loved it ever since!

[@iizzak6002]

+Ozzmaster2112 Same! I think it was on "Jumpstart", or whatever it's called, early in the morning. You can always find good bands/songs there before they become popular.

[@sosihyun9980]

I used to love this song so much back in the day, I still do, I'm glad this trip down memory lane brought me here

[@kikigoodwin2142]

Mumford and Sons are that one band that you will love if you appreciate REAL music. Now I'm not just saying that because I love them. in saying that because they use REAL instruments. Not computers. They not to mention sound the same live as they do recorded, which these days is a rare trait to find. I wonder why their songs aren't on the radio, but then I realise that's it's because radio stations want to play trendy music not good music. M&S have some of the best out together and sounding songs out there, and I feel that they deserve more recognition then they get. I can jam to them when happy and when sad. You can just always relate to their songs in some way, shape, or form.💕

[@billmclaughlin181]

well said

[@vj6499]

soothing and calming. the melody and his voice, so nice. ❤

Yea, I didn’t learn about allegory of the cave until college :(

[@desertoutlaw3317]

I hope everyone knows that this is based of the odyssey

[@a.s.h.5774]

I think that's part of, rather than obstructing, why the song is so powerful to so many people. Because I think most people have had their own odyssey, the only question is what chapter they are on.

[@RobInTDot]

The Odyssey, yes... and the Allegory of the Cave in Plato's Republic.

[@ravenlowes1830]

[@matthewkleinlein738]

There's multiple references in here to different things. I'm not sure what the song is about but allusions to some of my favorite shit certainly don't hurt the appeal.

[@subtlechas6442]

The whole song is not based around the song as there are many other references as well
