New Music Monday: Mumford & Sons cover White Lies

Before getting ready to hit the gym and work off the equivilant of the entire pizza I ate for dinner last night in a silly contest I thought I could win, I needed to get some new music.  An hour plus of cardiovascular activity this morning fueled by some bumping new tunes is needed.  I perused the “iTunes recommends” section and got some golden oldies, including John Mellencamp’s “Cherry Bomb” and some new pop hits.  Nothing too worthy of a “New Music Monday” post however.

Then I started searching to see what my YouTube had to offer and the following Mumford and Sons video was suggested for me:

A friend of mine really turned me onto the White Lies this summer and who doesn’t love Mumford and Sons?  I was excited to see the two combined in this driving video. (check the original)

I like the intense poetry behind the White Lies lyrics and always find Mumford and Sons’ escelating rythm to be stimulating.  Ever since Mumford and Sons’ Bonnaroo performance last summer, thousands of fans, including myself, have been eagerly awaiting their new album.

In my search this morning I also stumbled upon these new songs, “Home”, “Ghosts That We Knew”and “Lovers Eyes,” all pulling at my heart and having me even MORE excited for their new album. Marcus Mumford makes me melt, truth!
