This is my interpretation of a song, not a diatribe of any sort I do not deserve a diatribe in response. Please don't ream me out for seeing Biblical imagery if you don't see it. I think the song shifts in perspective, being a hopeless wanderer in the portions that are 'leave that click in my head' and God/Jesus/Holy Spirit in response 'When your hope's on fire.I will share your road.' I see it as a moment of re-conversion, so to speak. The 'click in my head' can refer to how some Christians choose to remember scripture as a way to return to the right course (Prov. There are other moments in the Bible when people were joined on the road by Jesus. 'I will call you by name/ I will share your road' is reminiscent of Saul's conversion into Paul when he is called by name on the road to Damascus. I think the first verse refers to the Garden of Eden and how Adam and Eve felt shame and wanted to hide, but ultimately it is better to be known fully than to hide. My InterpretationTons of Biblical imagery in this song. I could say more, but that's the general idea I get from it. It also seems like they have a long and strange history. It sounds a good deal like someone who is struggling to combat depression, and is presently reaching out to someone they love who also is. Hold me fast, hold me fast, 'cause I'm a hopeless wandererĪnd I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I wander Hear my voice: I came out of the woods by choice!Īnd I will remember the words that you said.Īnd I must remember the words that you said. We may all be listening to different recordings. Lyric CorrectionI think you're all very close, but I'm not sure. I than God every single day that she forgave me for what I have done to her! Real love is the most beautiful thing on earth and when you find it, don't let her go! You will regret it forever! No other girl will take her place! Love this song! I was 25 when I lost her and now I'm 35 and I am the happiest man in the world. She was one of a kind and she was the one for me, God brought her to me! It took me a very long time to get her back, I worked really hard to prove to her that I changed and I never stopped until today. It was the most stupid thing I've done and it was a waste of time. I was so stupid that I used to think that I can get someone similar to her, first I tried to get a girl that looks similar to her from the outside and then I looked for a girl who had a similar personality to hers. I broke her heart, I felt so bad that I made her feel so much pain because I was immature and it was hard for me to realize that I was so stupid to not realize that soulmates do exist and she was the one for me. I agree with you! Very good Interpretation! This song really speaks to me, I was just that guy that the song talks about, I fell in love with a wonderful girl, deep inside I knew that she was the one but I was scared of that feeling and so I was still going out with other girls on the side. I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I'm underĪnd I will learn, I will learn to love the skies I'm under Sam Jones directs watch it below.You heard my voice, I came out of the woods by choiceĪnd I will remember the words that you saidĪnd I won't remember the words that you said Forte’s fake scraggle-beard is obviously amazing, but don’t sleep on Sudeikis’s fake earrings. oh wait,' the band tweets, along with a link to the above video. 'We are delighted to present you the new video for the song Hopeless Wanderer, featuring Mumf. Though the actual Mumford & Sons members dont even appear in it once, their comedic doppelgangers certainly do. Either way, whether you enjoy liking or detesting this band, it’s a fun video. Well, the bands latest video somehow manages to be even better.

And honestly, isn’t it a little bit brave for a band to hire famous people to make their whole thing look stupid in their own music video? I think it is. The video stays pretty straight-faced most of the way, which only serves to further skewer the band’s deathlessly sincere old-timey pose. First, there was Idris Elba in “ Lover Of The Light.” And now comes the “Hopeless Wanderer” video, which features an all-star cast of famous comedy bros - Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman, Will Forte, noted bluegrass aficionado Ed Helms - all doing their best Mumford impressions and making what might be the most Mumford video of all-time. (I do like them, though.) And yet, they’ve pulled at least a couple of moves that seem directed toward making you, Stereogum reader, like them at least a little bit, including the repeated casting of people you already like in their music videos. British banjo-folk pastiche-kings Mumford & Sons are more famous than a motherfucker, so they don’t have to care whether you like them or not.
