Awake My Soul
Thursday, August 12, 2010 It is rare that I am introduced to an new artist and I immediately envelop all of the music that that artist produces. I usually like a song or two based mostly on reasons that don't make sense or seem to be connected. When I first heard Mumford & Sons I was amazed an addicted at once. I downloaded all of their music that was available. Awake My Soul is my favorite so far. It's a song that does what it proposes to do. It awakes my soul. Here is the original version:
How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles on things I don't know
This weakness I feel I must finally show
Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all
But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep, totally free
Har har, har har, har har, har har
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life
Awake my soul, awake my soul
Awake my soul
You were made to meet your maker
I'm not sure who uploaded the song and called it "Awaky My Soul" but the song is the right one anyway. I think this song is genius. And in case you were worried that Mumford & Sons are not really amazing musicians here is an amazing Take Away Concert with out fancy sound equipment. I'm amazed how their sound builds and is so full with out amplifiers and electronics. Fascinating! This concert is partially in French but the sound is the same. The Banjolin Song is first, and great, but if you don't have time to watch the whole thing skip it to 5:30 and listen to the live Awake My Soul. Amazing!
And to ensure that they can also make beautiful and visually appealing music videos:
