It follows Mumford & Sons, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and Old Crow Medicine Show as they ride an old-fashioned train across the U.S., stopping for shows along the route and jamming together as they ride. Not Mumford & Sons, I know, but I think any fan of the Sons would appreciate it’s simple beauty.Ī month or two ago, I watched the vignette/documentary-style film called Big Easy Express. “Dear Believer” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.

“Learn Me Right” featuring Birdy, from the Brave soundtrack: Now, excuse me while I go listen to it again. It’s like the movie version of an “Easter Egg,” a little nugget of information that isn’t essential to enjoying the piece, but adds a little spark for those who know about it.Īnd I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s only in the version entitled something else, that we hear those lyrics. Interestingly, the words “Learn Me Right” are not found in the version of that title at all.

“Not With Haste” is like the big sister of Brave’s “Learn Me Right.” Or maybe, the mother… Either way, I believe it’s more or less the same song except the movie version uses only one of the verses from “Not With Haste.” However, it also has it’s own, unique verse. So, regardless that the movie version of the song is completely wonderful, I still wanted to hear it performed by Mumford & Sons alone. I thought to myself, “How did I not know about this? I was so surprised when I read about it somewhere else. And while I’m not surprised I didn’t recognize Marcus Mumford’s voice in the background, I really wish I had.

The singer’s voice is beautiful and the feel is perfect for the movie. On the soundtrack, it’s sung by a young British songstress called Birdy with the boys providing the instruments and background vocals. I had dreamed of listening to Mumford & Sons sing the song they wrote for the movie Brave by themselves. I literally jumped up from my seat and started dancing around in excitement. I am just listening through their new CD, Babel (Yes, a week late, but that was through a little negotiation with myself) and the very last track is called “Not With Haste.” It was very pretty, as are most Mumford songs, but it was a quarter of the way through when I started to recognize some lyrics. Nicely done, Mumford & Sons, nicely done.
