This is my favorite song off of the newest Mumford and Sons album and it is truly a masterpiece. One of the things that drew me towards it is that I find it relatable. Most people have tried to help a friend ( in a romantic relationship or not) and found it difficult. Norman Maclean explains this as “if anything, is needed? For it is true we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don’t know what part of ourselves to give or, more often than not, the part we have to give is not wanted. And so it is those we live with and should know who elude us. But we can still love them – we can love completely without complete understanding.” This song is touching and greatly exhibits his vulnerability.
