Two of the most brilliant musicians of the last 50 years collaborated on this gut wrenching song of pain and sorrow. God bless the musicians for they are the voices of our soul.
Holy shit. What a vulnerable song and performance. Absolutely broke my heart… but in the best way. Pulled tears right up from that place where I too shove down and seal up past hurts so I can go on functioning in life. Marcus and Brandi… you have my eternal gratitude. Thank you.❤
Marcus did a profound interview with Zane Lowe recently. He said the solo album was about actually facing, dealing with and recovery from sexual molestation at six years old. He emphasized the predator was NOT a family or church member. Such a gifted and brave man. This album was a huge step in his healing.
don’t give up, somehow when he says “i guess for years i just carried on, didn’t feel much of a choice to suppress” makes me feel worse but great at the same time just to see someone else feeling it.
@mcroli the way this song connects so well to so many people in so many different situations is beautiful. Hating oneself is so unfortunate yet so so real, and that’s a brave battle to fight. And while it’s awesome that this song forges a pathway between negative emotions and hope, it’s even more awesome that you’ve been able to find that hope in your own life. I’m so so glad that you’re still here with us 💜 I don’t even know you, but I do know that there’s so much more beauty to experience in this life, and I’m excited that you still have opportunities to see it. Thank you for inspiring a random stranger today. I’m sure it won’t be the last time you do.
I hope this was cathartic for him on some level. It was beautiful and painful to hear. Brandi is keen to nurture him through this so it must have been a one of those experiences that we fight to keep down but eventually have to put to rest. Thank God for music, it has healed so many people along the way. These two are the real deal!
I've read the comments not knowing M Mumford's personal history. But it's intimated something happened to him and the song is his healing. I have to say this song hits on a Universal level. We all have that thing, be it lover, parent, child or friend that has put us right in that space that he is feeling. The beauty is the chorus. It's my new mantra now.
I adore both of these beautiful humans so much. They have both created so much beautiful music that has continued to touch my soul over the years. I love that they're friends and now collaborators - they way Brandi looks at Marcus is so special and full of love. This song is stunning and it hurts. It sounds like Marcus and I have some shared lived experiences, and I'm so grateful he has put things into words I couldn't say.
I don't know what he lived through but obviously the pain is soul searing. These are two of my favorite artists in the world. They are my favorite because they make me feel in a world that numbs you.
This is one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. Brandi Carlile and band have such a gift and a humbleness behind them that is so refreshing. So grateful I got to witness these beautiful souls.
Marcus. Thank you so much for releasing such powerful, important, true music. It is such a relief to hear these words. I am also a sexual abuse survivor. And also a Musician and music saved my life. I have written songs on the topic. If anybody knows how to get them to Marcus, please pass them on to him..Thank you again! I feel such gratitude to you for putting this music out into the world. Truth is Light! 1.This Dirty Old River 2. I'm Not The Only One 3.Thank you for Not Being There 4.Can't You Just Forget It
I tried to forgive my abuser only to find I wasn't his only victim. I heard he became involved with the scouts years later & continued after his son left, so I reported him as a danger. I had tried to ask why but without remorse he said "I tried to do my best for everyone". The responsibility for repeated emotional damage doesn't warrant forgiveness, a child is totally vulnerable. Move on without guilt or shame, you were an exploited, abused child left with scars & confusion.
i'm so sorry you went through that, this made me cry. i can't find forgiveness in me for my abuser. it's something i struggle with, but i'm trying to forgive myself. thank you
Here's a go at the lyrics of this powerful song: (please reply with edits, my hearing is good enough for many things, but not good enough to be sure of lyrics, lol) I have wondered what was done to you To give you such a taste of flesh I guess for years I was just carried on Didn’t feel much of a choice to supress I hope your memory is less vivid than mine And is free from that awful maple light I have to say I wish you had just done it in the dark So the pictures didn’t burn so bright But I'll forgive you now, release you from all the blame I know how And I’ll forgive you now, as if saying the words will help me know how Please help me know how I’m afraid it will take a turn I make my case to the Shahen shah as I bring him his cup And I tell him best I can what I need to build the walls of my Jerusalem back up And I have reckoned with what you have taken from me And I killed that liar in my head I buried him beneath the maple tree There’s no joy in dancing with the dead But I’ll forgive you now, release you from all of the blame I know how And I’ll forgive you know, as if saying the words will help me know how, how, how.
@@jennyb5385 good one! Changed from express to suppress, I think you're right. It never clicked it could be about surviving rape, I can see how that works.
This is clearly an amazing story amd song, can't understand half of the lyrics (can't wait to see them...). Apparently, the Trascript can't figure it out either. It seems amazing, whatever he's singing.... I look forward to the liner notes and lyrics- love both of these songsters! How many brilliant song writers and singers need/would love/appreciate a famous visible Brandi - friend that believes in us? So many! At least we have social media now !
I think I caught about 90% of it I had wondered what was done to you To give you such a taste of flesh I guess for years I just carried on Didn't feel much of a choice to supress I hope your memory's less vivid than mine And is free from that awful maple light I have to say I still wish you had just done it in the dark So the pictures didn't burn so bright But I forgive ya now Release you from all of the blame I know how And I've forgiven ya now As if saying the words will help me know how Please help me know how I'm afraid it will take a turn I make my case to the .... ...bring him his cup And I tell him best I can what I need To build the walls of my Jerusalem back up And I have reckoned with what you've taken from me And I carry my (?) in my head I buried him beneath the maple tree There's no joy in dancing with the dead But I'll forgive ya now Release you from all of the blame I know how And I'll forgive ya now and I sing the words to help me know how How How
@@jj9903 thanks. I’d caught most of it but that clears up parts I didn’t get. That line “I’ll forgive you now as if saying the words will help me know how” is so powerful.

I'm obsessed with this song, I watched it so many times. I kept waiting for Marcus to look at Brandi during the song (min 1:44 to 5:08) and lock eyes with each-other. Which could have made this duet even better as she was focused on him the whole song. It's okay though. I am going to keep listening to this sing, they are superb.
AA D, I think, perhaps, he was feeling so much, he had to keep his eyes closed just to keep singing. She watched him, just to make sure he was okay, ready to catch him if he faltered. Brandi did this for Kris Kristofferson at Joni Mitchell's 75th bday celebration in LA when they sang "A Case of You". She just overflowed with gentle, caring love & support for both of them.
Wow. I put this on while I was getting ready in the morning. Stopped what I was doing to listen. Started crying. Just amazing. Bless them both ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
A. Wilcox, look through the comments. Some people have made an attempt to capture the lyrics, and apart from a couple that are just really hard to understand, they seemed accurate and really helped me understand the song

Funny.. I can hear every word. My husband and I listen to music and he can't hear lyrics unless he reads or like a song until he sees a video. I can hear every word and feel every cord... music feeds my soul 🥰

I don't care what the song is about exactly but for me after two suicide attempts it gives me some closure with myself I needed for a while

I love Brandi Carlisle so much. A national treasure. LGBT leadership. A strong, beautiful, talented Lesbian woman.❤
I forgave my father after 57 years of pain. I felt like my heart flew it became so light.
I hope this was cathartic for him on some level. It was beautiful and painful to hear.

The heaviness in my chest realizing what this song could be about… this is so brave of him.
What is it about?
@@chillfangirl264 child abuse
Such a vulnerable song, full of brokeness...Tears in my eyes...
This song gives me tears and chills. You can feel Marcus's emotion in his words and his voice.
Every time I hear him sing this song I cry..every time . .
If the true measure of music is to make you feel....something, anything, this is hard to measure, it's so far off the charts good. More of this.
I love how proud of him she is ❤
I went to see Marcus in Birmingham Saturday when he sang this he broke me, what a masterpiece.
Stunning in the depth of truth. Oh! The power of forgiveness. Ho'oponopono for the world. May we all meditate on its power.
How is the perfect song to end his solo album. Brandi is so incredible. 💔
Seeing these two together is incredible - two musicians I loved from the first second I saw them both
Saw or heard?

Amen to that Meg.
Even if I could. cover this song. It would be done with a shakey voice and tears streaming down my face.
I'm so happy I was there this night! Incredible:)
Oh my God two legends absolute beautiful music collides here.
this is simply stunning on every level, maybe music can shine a light on this insideous problem that needs bringing to light
Pulled me right into his pain.
I felt it .. wow
So incredible. This was a beautiful song and to hear Brandi’s beautiful harmony just made it even better.
He is beautiful. I cry just looking at him and I know what an artists is in there.
I don't know what he lived through but obviously the pain is soul searing. These are two of my favorite artists in the world. They are my favorite because they make me feel in a world that numbs you.
This is one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. Brandi Carlile and band have such a gift and a humbleness behind them that is so refreshing. So grateful I got to witness these beautiful souls.
Lucky !!!!
She never ever disappoints. Seen her many times, even when she started out, she was amazing. Knew she would be on the big stage!😍
I feel so blessed that this collab is happening.
This is just…..powerful. The suffering some men put us through.
It’s just a wow song.
Marcus always write good songs. This makes me very emotional. I can't wait for the album.😢
Good God. A miraculous performance of a brilliant song.
I was just there last night and remember it was the best music I had ever heard.
Where was it ?? Lucky you ❤️
OMG - no words - just chills.
Blown away

Finally my 2 favorite artists together..❤
This song is incredible, as is “Cannibal.” Absolutely amazing piece of work.
Good to have that Mumford magic back :)
Amen to that! 🙌🏼
Whoa! What a powerful duo!
Cry so hard you think it might put the crushing fire of pain out inside.
Amazing song you 2. ❤
Still one of my favourite live recordings. keep on coming back
What a beautiful song and performance,hope there is more between Brandi and Marcus.
@Julie Reiman Is Marcus still married?
Goosebumps
That song is butter.
Good man! Thank you
Brilliant and meaningful hitting the soul
Wow! Goosebumps while listening to this! Brilliance!
Wow what a fabulous collaboration....hope there is more to come from this 'duo'!!
AMAZING.
And we just saw a classic born.
I tried to forgive my abuser only to find I wasn't his only victim. I heard he became involved with the scouts years later & continued after his son left, so I reported him as a danger. I had tried to ask why but without remorse he said "I tried to do my best for everyone". The responsibility for repeated emotional damage doesn't warrant forgiveness, a child is totally vulnerable. Move on without guilt or shame, you were an exploited, abused child left with scars & confusion.
i'm so sorry you went through that, this made me cry. i can't find forgiveness in me for my abuser. it's something i struggle with, but i'm trying to forgive myself. thank you
It looks to me like the real Mumford & Sons sound is back. Marcus is a once in a generation vision.
No Winston, no “& Sons”. Every verse he’s talking about him
whoa. what a beautiful recording. thank you for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful🤩😭
Oh my fucking god
I enjoyed this concert so much, best ever.
Perfect thing to do on my birthday!
Thx for posting…💜

The sound is awesome on this. Thanks for posting.
Here's a go at the lyrics of this powerful song: (please reply with edits, my hearing is good enough for many things, but not good enough to be sure of lyrics, lol)
I have wondered what was done to you
To give you such a taste of flesh
I guess for years I was just carried on
Didn’t feel much of a choice to supress
I hope your memory is less vivid than mine
And is free from that awful maple light
I have to say I wish you had just done it in the dark
So the pictures didn’t burn so bright
But I'll forgive you now, release you from all the blame I know how
And I’ll forgive you now, as if saying the words will help me know how
Please help me know how
I’m afraid it will take a turn
I make my case to the Shahen shah as I bring him his cup
And I tell him best I can what I need to build the walls of my Jerusalem back up
And I have reckoned with what you have taken from me
And I killed that liar in my head
I buried him beneath the maple tree
There’s no joy in dancing with the dead
But I’ll forgive you now, release you from all of the blame I know how
And I’ll forgive you know, as if saying the words will help me know how, how, how.
Great, thanks. Think it's "didn't feel much of a choice to suppress", not "express." It sounds like it's about being a rape survivor
@@jennyb5385 good one! Changed from express to suppress, I think you're right.
It never clicked it could be about surviving rape, I can see how that works.
@@oleeotv seeing your lyrics really helped me understand the song, so thank you. It's pretty harrowing

Courage
Jesus I’m at loss for words. Every verse he’s talking to Winston. Soul crushing
Really listen to the lyrics and look at the lyrics for Cannibal. He’s talking about something much heavier and traumatizing on this album.
he owes a major apology to Winston and I hope Win gets it but this is not about him.
Harrowing song. Is it about forgiving a rapist :(? That's what I'm getting from the lyrics. Heartbreaking
That’s what I’m hearing. An abuser.
That’s what I think to. Healing Realist.
I mean the words are so true and real. Song nicely captures emotions for being on a journey to heal.
It’s about Winston, Mumford & Sons is dead.
@@Krazylegzz wrong. Listen to his new song Cannibal, then come back and listen to this.
Haha
What's so funny?
I like how you can't make out a single word Haha
Funny.. I can hear every word. My husband and I listen to music and he can't hear lyrics unless he reads or like a song until he sees a video. I can hear every word and feel every cord... music feeds my soul 🥰
