The Boxer - Mumford and Sons

Nathan posted a link to Mumford and Sons covering The Boxer on facebook earlier this morning, only it was a tumblr and for some reason I can’t play those anymore at work, and when I got here I discovered my iPod is totally flat, so in my music-less frustration I went looking on youtube. I do love this Simon and Garfunkel song, and for some reason it takes me back to 4th year at University, sitting in my room studying for exams in the top of the old Catholic seminary (which the Presbyterians bought), as I believe that is the year I got Simon and Garfunkel’s greatest hits and became a fan. I also like Mumford and Sons and I do like how they sing this, with that little descent on the end. I keep wanting to insert the drums from the original near the end, but it’s good (here is the same concert from a different angle, one night later).

And then I came across this song, called Ghosts that we Knew, which is quite beautiful.
