"Tout reposera ensuite sur la joie, l’enthousiasme et la décontraction so British d’un groupe dont la puissance se nourrit d’un plaisir évident à jouer. Sur une musique étrange, une musique de transport quasi religieux, pastorale et fervente, qui s’est abreuvée de dizaines de folklores différents. Sur un Johnny Flynn qu’on avait embarqué là sans presque lui demander son avis et qui improvisera ses parties de violon comme s’il avait élevé ces chansons qui n’étaient pas siennes. Enfin sur cette jeune femme qui nous ouvrira sa porte, sa cour, et pour qui les Mumford chanteront en Français. "Réveille mon âme...". C’est peu dire."

Back again, listening to this for the time and wondering when this band is coming back. I miss the old Mumford

[Kodamair]

Years later, this video still touches my heart.

Johnny Flynn and Marcus Mumford changed my life as a teenager.

[nicholasbanos]

I love how years later this is still a hidden gem.

I am not the same person after watching this. This was life changing. Mumford and Sons forever

Not sure if anyone has the same feeling as me at 3:44 but I’ll always get chills down my spine. Have for years. This is such a refreshing video. Thank you Mumford and Johnny. You guys are incredible.

F*cking incredible, truly a gift these boys. Wish they would stick to their darned beautiful acoustic roots!!

[dazzasaulog]

Wow I used to listen to this in high school. Been belting out the French version of Awake My Soul in the shower ever since!

How have only 22, 000 people found this piece of gold...

Saw these chaps at a free Amazon concert in Munich 10+ years ago, just before the became famous. Tiny place, acoustical performance. Nobody had a clue who they really were and what they could do. I remember the goosebumps hearing him sing the first time.

[meus]

So sweet to return to these blogothesque videos a decade later. this video still hits me in the feels. Such a gem.

[lucastm]

Finally I can like and share the original video, from La Blogotheque! This was my favorite video and the reason I started loving Mumford & Sons.
