Track on Tuesday: I Will Wait

Artist: Mumford and Sons

Genre: Folk and Roll

Label: Glassnote

Released: 25 September 2012

My Review: This track really speaks for itself.  First released a few (like two and a half-ish?) years ago at a Toad Session under the moniker “Untitled” and then later, after fans had live recordings it garnered the name “Nothing is Written” But I have to admit, "I Will Wait" has a special ring to it.  I can’t talk about Mumford and Sons enough, they truly are a remarkable band, and I love them with all my heart.  This track is truly a gem.  The video is incredible because it gives you the opportunity to really focus on the music.  The track had its world premiere on Zane Lowe’s BBC Radio 1 Show (one of my favorite shows to stream – seriously check it out) last Wednesday, and I think it’s safe to say I’ve had it on constant repeat since.

Well I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of dust
Which we've known
Will blow away with this new sun

But I'll kneel down wait for now
And I'll kneel down
Know my ground

And I will wait I will wait for you
And I will wait I will wait for you

So break my step
And relent
Well you forgave and I won't forget
Know what we've seen
And him with less
Now in some way shake the excess

And I will wait I will wait for you
And I will wait I will wait for you
And I will wait I will wait for you
And I will wait I will wait for you

Now I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So tame my flesh
And fix my eyes
A tethered mind freed from the lies

And I'll kneel down
Wait for now
I'll kneel down
Know my ground

Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Feel my heart slow

Cause I will wait I will wait for you
And I will wait I will wait for you
And I will wait I will wait for you
And I will wait I will wait for you
