Mumford and Sons is folk music and has been new to the music industry. These four English men are making their way to the top with their music that creates an Indian upbeat fold type of mood when they play. Love, hate, laughter, is all portrayed through the music of these four talented men. This band is not like most other bands where you have loud booming bass and rock sounding drums but they have a mellow tone with the sound of guitar, bass, vocals, piano, and only the bass drum. They find that having an actual drum set is useless to them so they only use a kick drum to keep tempo. Weird but very effective, and most people like it. I especially like because their music is very real, it doesn’t just stray from little things but it does capture what they are trying to say through music. One of their songs that very much enjoy is “Awake My Soul”. This song is one of their most popular songs, dues to the fact that it truly does get the point across. He wants his soul to awaken from all the hardships he’s had so that he may find something right in this world to him. I think that this band is great and will continue to be great in the next year or so. Still they are new but they are rapidly getting attention from big music records. Whenever I feel I want to hear something that will be fun and simple I turn to Mumford and Sons. In my opinion I think that it is worth my money because the music that they make is something I enjoy so I would invest in their music. Not only do they make great music and the lyrics are from the heart but they inspire to show that life isn’t that great but you have to make the best of it.
