Mumford & Sons - Mumford & Sons and National Geographic Present: Delta

[@johnaidan6197]

Just an interesting detail about this song and video. While deltas are landforms created "where the rivers run into the sea" by sediment. Delta is also the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet and is represented by the triangular Δ symbol. The Δ delta symbol is also commonly used in math and science to denote change. You'll notice that when the music in the song changes up at around 2:15 the triangular transitions in the video begin to play. Pretty cool editing and concept!

[@ihavesomethingtosay9270]

Illuminati confirmed

[@BradyLMarshall]

And Delta is their 4th studio album!

[@rendistian360]

And the song is in the key of D

[@adbeelbalaguer8518]

thanks a lot!

[@jipoudeweernink9364]

I like this song ten times better now

[@dbrano74]

Awesome lyrics...I’m glad I can read along with the song thanks to Mumford & Sons and my grandma’s bifocals.

[@xmyrelly]

dbrano74 hahahahahaha omg

[@joleenbaynes2852]

This one goes out to all the optometrists out there

[@emilysosa]

How can you *not* love this??

[@pauljones2033]

You guys saved my marriage with your music, have you really split cos I'd like to have you play at my renewal if possible

[@latonyakirklandmba8472]

After seeing their performance on SNL and being left in tears; I decided to see if there was video. I am absolutely DESTROYED RIGHT NOW! Absolutely Beautiful

[@StachuThe]

From 5:20 I have this strange feeling, like the music is definition of my life - happy and energetic, full of hope and I would call it "warm" (?), so thank you Mumford for defining it in 40 sec of fantastic bit of music I love.

[@Junglefenderflares-shop]

The idea to join Mumford&Sons song with National Geographic footage is really great !

[@M.i.a.A1919]

The fact that you guys collided with National Geographic with the music videos just leaves me so full of joy! I thank you guys for this and your beyond beautiful music! Thank you!

[@CdaliXenZia]

This is the album you listen to after you finished a camping in national park where you tried to relax from problems and thinking about your life positively

[@kikamica8]

Wow. This video makes me feel even more dedicated to preserve our beautiful planet.

[@rayray5911]

Made me want to Live.

[@sophieandsmile]

Best song on the album (IMO) ... love it ❤️

[@HamzaKhan-ez5ib]

i'd say guiding light with this in second

[@fayw7329]

Sophie C agreed! Beloved is awesome as well. Both are so good live

[@blessedtruther8024]

I feel like this song is about family and the building those relationships because our lives will eventually end and what will we have to show for it if we don't have love.

[@LauWiegand]

I can’t believe how much I’m loving this song 💕

[@wearealljustclowns]

Truly feeling both good or bad will bring tears or nearly to a being that has evolved into that understanding

[@gwendolyn2001]

Breathtaking . . . but why does it bring tears to my eyes?

[@humannotcorpskel7377]

With all my heart thank you, I’d lost hope in humanity. I watched Babel and cried. I’m with you, we are one. Xxx

[@matthewpottker3303]

This album is sooooo good I can’t wait to see you guys in DC in 11 days

[@Tjhun3]

Just saw them at MSG last night. INSANE. and Maggie Rogers was brilliant too!

[@marielinha80]

ugh, lucky ... have fun tonight

[@elliotrook6063]

Saw them in Leeds a while back, best live music I’ve been to

[@cotyclack]

This song is a damn masterpiece.

[@chloeterry5892]

this song makes you feel alive...

[@WildSawyer]

Thanks Mumford for putting animals in your video clip, they're real loves !

[@Howler258]

What an amazing video, the editing and lyric appearance is beautiful, and of course delta sounds incredible!

[@andreagonsalves7788]

This is absolutely STUNNING.!!!!!!!!!!

[@_IK3LZ3Y_]

Wish I could blast this - can't make it loud enough - so beautiful.

[@ninadjadhav925]

Woww this is so beautiful

[@phoebczar]

I LOVE THE VIBE OF THEIR NEW ALBUM. 💕 waiting for the live session tho. 😍😁

[@simonebolner9321]

I would have written the lyrics just a little smaller

[@Junglefenderflares-shop]

ROFL

[@jessecoc6247]

Go listen to maiden a bit, start with "when the wild wind blows"

[@mrmcgibblets54]

Bruh I didn't even know they added lyrics....

[@mouija1450]

It's an artistic choice. The words are small against the the massive diversity of our little planet, but if you focus in on the minutiae you will be rewarded with knowledge.

[@fayw7329]

I know I shouldn’t have laughed but damn...that cracked me up 😂

[@dlm8763]

I couldn't love Mumford and Sons any more...... Challenge met....

[@SisABofficial]

I’m in a creative block for a while. And this just INSPIRED me. ALL THE LOVE ❤️❤️❤️

[@ikhlas_sal]

sameeee

[@jakebaanders9749]

absolutely beautiful!

[@jochenfeizer1496]

Omg how beautiful ist this Song...

[@carminacastellanotejedor4329]

Beauty, magical and inspiring song. Big like from the heart and the mind!

[@roserodrigues7065]

Apaixonada é pouco. Amooooo vocês!

[@tinacamacho1123]

Dayum that's beautiful 😻❤

[@josehenriquefs888]

This song is so deep, so meaningfull... And the video fits well, because while the lyrics talk about the meaning of life and the true nature of love, the video shows us the beauty of the life in our planet (and also the love of God reflected in his creations).

[@lufejbal]

Just can't handle this! Amazing work. 😍

[@noralights3997]

Glorious!

[@hubball6017]

Always Amazing

[@davidkeller6718]

[@bethpreston7372]

[@mouija1450]

If you can imagine, they perform this song better live.

[@scottnicoltv]

brilliant

[@JC-rm6tm]

I just wish the lyrics were a little bit smaller so I could really enjoy the animals and landscsape

[@marisnabruwer4655]

Your comment made me laugh sooo much. Thank you

[@trinefj11]

Yessss 😍😍

[@yapeeshdiddy2685]

Mumford & sons and Animals🐥 ?? U canny beat it!

[@jakehobbs]

It sounds really cool if you set the speed at 0.75 around 2:00

[@mrbossftw3670]

This makes me want to just run with these animals with no stress lol

[@coerbin]

yes

[@adamcallaghan2135]

Nice tune. Work jams

[@Inconscienteaceuaberto]

What's happened with the video clip of this music? I haven't seen anywhere!

[@cacheadman9670]

Leeds was fucking brilliant, love you all ❤️

[@ThisUnifiedField]

❤️💖❤️

[@mariotorrez2915]

Where is your video in the London Arena?

[@ohbadgewhuh4129]

no 4K? Come ON NatGeo

[@daianacorrea3228]

Amazonas

Does anyone knows what's about the children voice in the background?

[@Sara_Beltran]

It’s Marcus kids talking about volcanoes. In some interview Marcus said it, and that he thought it would be appropriate in a song about casos.

[@profevandromrocha]

Tem uma voz de bebê no vídeo? Is there a baby voice in the video?

[@maramara.andrea]

Yup, Marcus' kids, Evelyn and Wilfred and they are talking about volcanoes, which is pretty fitting ❤

[@davethiessen2455]

[@zoraz4867]

[@julianaperes4041]

Como não amar?

[@ivanespinosa5841]

Live +

[@communistpanda7506]

If at 2:00 you put speed 2 on

[@cleisonarmandomanriqueagui9176]

Where is that place ?

[@Batfemme639]

Could be the one in the national park in Botswana.

[@Batfemme639]

But, to add to my reply, not all photos are from Africa. Some are from the Great Plains of the USA, for example. Also, "the delta" could be a metaphor for a meeting place of water or of people.

[@ReynoldsChacin]

Brutal.

[@Schilvert1]

Delta from??

[@Batfemme639]

I believe it's in Botswana, but also metaphor for a meeting place.

[@FKBUSH1]

Should've done the Mississippi Delta 🤷 just saying

[@aspecreviews]

The lyrics are lost in compression artifacts...

[@lovehellohello]

The vido to this song sicks, but music is amazing

[@juliettenini]

weird thought but that is how i want my architecture to sound like

[@camila-in3jc]

please tell me someone else read delta from sharpa ghost and is crying rn

[@breneditz8829]

Next time make the lyrics smaller please, they were way too big really distracting.

[@Jukelikesgames]

These music videos are just kinda bizarre to me. Thought this was a love song, what’s Africa and animals have to w anything.

[@JackGuy]

Everyone has a different interpretation of these songs, but I feel pretty strongly that this song is about God. Elsewhere on Delta Marcus sings "I think it's the wild, puts the fear of God in me". The words of this song "when it's all just dust to dust, and that's how it will be. When it's all just nothingness, that means nothing to me" is Marcus singing that to him creation needs to have meaning beyond just being born and dying (dust to dust). I believe to him the wonder of the wild is a demonstration of a God with power to bring meaning beyond that. He'll meet Him (God) at the delta, but what lies beyond is beyond himself.

[@StachuThe]

@@JackGuy You are on point Jack - this album has this God-ish feeling / vibe to me. Not all of the songs have to be about love between two people.

[@jenniferhately2423]

Delta is the 4th letter of the Greek alphabet, and has a triangle for its symbol. The Greek delta symbol is also the scientific denotation for change. It's not a love song in the aspect of 2 lovers, it's a love song in the sense of humanity to its life sustaining planet, through change. The change comes in loving ourself, as a species.

[@josehenriquefs888]

I think this song is very existentialist. The writer wonder about the meaning of life, and about love in a general way, not just romantic love. He makes allusion to 1 Cor. 13 whe he says: "What am I if I don't have love? I'm a waste" and in the chorus he emphatize that love it's not just about feelings, but also about actions, altruistic actions (just like the Bible says). The video fits well, because as it show us the life in the planet, we wonder about the beauty of the life and about the love of God reflected in his creations

[@smokeylovelady5987]

No sir, clearly Shirley!!

[@WoodyBarrelson]

That first scene was shot by an AC-130

[@joseavila5034]

Lmao. Enemy AC-130 above

[@mrbossftw3670]

How do u know?

[@sixty-nine3574]

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!!!!!

[@matthewpottker3303]

First

[@wearealljustclowns]

Truly you know to say this outwardly tells you inside your last. Put yourself first more often but share and find the kundalini within you. Good job being so fast..now put it to use in meaningful ways

[@darklard]

Can't get over the mouse being used to highlight text to overwrite it... so sloppy ctrl + a or shift + home would have been cleaner, entirely took me out of the video and was annoying.
