Hell On Wheels - Timshel - Mumford & Sons - As Brothers We Will Stand

"Timshel," a word that loosely translates as "thou mayest;" the word suggests that we as humans, with the consciousness we "achieved" by eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden, can in every moment CHOOSE our behavior; we can choose between good and evil."

Is it just me or is Cullen Bohannan deff the MOST underrated badass tv characters in history?? I'd argue for him to go right up there with Walter White, Jax Teller etc...

This series was my grandfathers fav series. I couldn't sit down long enough to watch it cause I have bad adhd. And can't sit still but I finished it. I miss you grandpa. Ill talk to you about it soon.

Because of Hell on Wheels, I discovered Mumford and Sons. Best show ever. 

[denniswalker]

the sad part is how the song says as brothers we will stand but Joseph has to kill his real brother.that part always gets to me.truly touching scene.

Dieses Lied hörte ich die ersten Male während meiner Konfirmation vor über 50 Jahren. Es war mein Weg Begleiter, Trost und Hilfe in meinem ganzen Leben bis heute.

I remember when this episode 1st aired. It opens with this scene, I think. The brutality of it mixed with the melancholy of “Timshel” is just beautiful. Maybe the best scene of the whole show

[Lakin]

it didn't glorify violence-rather it showed how often we hurt each other, our brothers of every race, creed, and religion.

Just finished the series, this scene was the best and I can't get over how much pain Cullen Bohannon went through, I couldn't help but tear up on that last railroad spike being hammerred down, he lost so much, friends, lovers, wives and children, thank you Anson for this masterpiece. This series touched my soul

[TheShadowedOne]

I absolutely love Hell on Wheels. I loved it from beginning to end, season 1 to season 2. A true, epic western series...

[armitage]

I too was surprised when I heard Mumford & Son's song start up for this scene. I turned my Volume to max..! Luv Mumford..!!

[alanrieken]

Awesome fight seen. Well put together. Mumford & Sons, Timshel  made the scene work Bravo !!!  Hell on Wheels fan.

[ThosePelicans]

Honestly this scene is really what hooked me officially to the series; there's such an elegant sadness in this scene that is such a rare gem for the show

[patsquach]

Great series. Watched it a couple times. So far !

[joycewhyte]

The most awesome opening scene of any TV programme ever. The track is beautifully haunting.

[SPDemon]

My favorite show on TV, hands down. I watched this like 5 times in a row when I first saw it. Pretty powerful, the song makes it.

[PianoMoverSmith]

This is possibly the best moment of Hell on Wheels. The way this season was building with tension, to see the heros of this season, Cullen, Elam, and Joseph completely dominate Pawnee Killer and his boys was perfect. Out numbered but it wasn't even close.

[randomwicked]

Such a powerful scene. The music is of no other. Synced perfectly to exactly what is showing

[wind-upbird]

Perfect song for the scene listen to the lyrics. I also like how there is much violence going on and this calm song reflects on the scene and makes you notice the violent details in slow motion.

[owenhalverson]

Playing Red Dead Redemption 2 right now was doing a call to Arms so I needed some music to pump me up

[tonymickens]

GRET FUCKIN SHOW! DAMN, Now I gotta Benge watch it Again!!!!
