I knew Marcus (Mumford) and family at primary school. He’s in a band that’s doing very well and is making some really top-class music.

You can find them on spotify and myspace amongst other places.

I particularly wanted to reproduce the lyrics to the song “Roll away your stone” just so I could hyperlink the bit below. Those wanting unambiguous positive propositions will be disappointed and though there is a reflective complexity about the  writer’s experiences to the messages of the songs I’m pretty sure that one of the stories this song refers to is this one and that’s a great place to start if you want to know more and if the link below seems a bit in-depth. Enjoy:

Roll away your stone I will roll away mine
Together we can see what we will find
Don’t leave me alone at this time
For I am afraid of what I will discover inside

You told me that I wouldn’t find a home
Beneath the fragile substance of my soul
And I have filled this void with things unreal
And all the while my character it steals

Darkness is a harsh term don’t you think
Yet it dominates the things I see

It seems that all my bridges have been burned
But you say ‘That’s exactly how this grace thing works’
It’s not the long walk home that will change this heart
But the welcome I receive with every start

Darkness is a harsh term don’t you think
And yet it dominates the things I see
Darkness is a harsh term don’t you think
And yet it dominates the things I see

Stars hide your fires
For these here are my desires
And I won’t give them up to you this time around
And so I will be found
With my stake stuck in the ground
Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul

And you, you’ve gone too far this time
You have neither reason nor rhyme
With which to take this soul that is so rightfully mine
