Mumford & Sons - Lover of the Light
Let's be real here, folks. Here is a music video you can watch with the sound off. I would happily pay money to watch Idris Elba watch paint dry. What a gorgeous, gorgeous man.
But if you, you know, actually care about music and stuff, this is a wonderful song and a wonderful video. It perfectly captures all the emotions I feel when listening to Mumford & Sons - being alone on a cold, beautiful day, the simple sadness that comes with being alone that is almost rapturous, frolicking with deer, almost cliff diving, breakfast.
Then I read the comments on the video, realized that Idris is meant to be blind, and had to restart the video and actually pay attention to something other than his beautiful, beautiful face.
It's funny how that single plot point can turn a video of seemingly nice if random images into an incredibly moving story with serious depth. I thought this was just a great song with a beautiful (BEAUTIFUL) video, and now I'm near tears. Thanks a lot, Mumford!
