Task #2: media favourites1Lover of the Light - Mumford and Sons.
          This song is unreal. The feel of it harmoniously meshes folk, Celtic, as it is being nudged into the more popular division of iTunes/downloads. Even the mere sound of the instruments with Marcus Oliver Johnston Mumford's added powerful lead vocals adds so much to the song. The lyrics are profound, and leaves the interpreter open to different ideas about the song.  Here are the lyrics for your own interpretation: 

And in the middle of the night
I may watch you go.
There'll be no value in the strength
Of walls that I'll have grown
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown

But I'd be yours if you'd be mine

Stretch out my life and pick the seams out
Take what you like but close my ears and eyes
Or watch me stumble over and over

I had done wrong you built your tower
But call me home and I will build a throne
And wash my eyes out never again

But love the one you hold
And I will be your gold
To have and to hold
A lover of the light

With skin too tight and eyes like marbles
You spin me high so watch me as I glide
Before I tumble homeward, homeward

I know I've tried I was not stable
And flawed by pride I miss my sanguine eyes
So hold my hands up 
Breathe in and breathe out

So love the one you hold
And I will be your gold
To have and to hold
A lover of the light

And in the middle of the night
I may watch you go.
There'll be no value in the strength
Of walls that I'll have grown
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
You may not trust the promises of the change I'll show
But I'd be yours
If you'd be mine

So love the one you hold
And I'll be your gold
To have and to hold
A lover of the light

So love the one you hold
And I will be your gold
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
