Rumor has it this song is about the decaying relationship of former couple Marcus Mumford and English folk musician Laura Marling.
We will run and scream
You will dance with me
They'll fulfill our dreams and we'll be free
And we will be who we are
And they'll heal our scars
Sadness will be far away Mumford & Sons – Not with Haste
You will dance with me
They'll fulfill our dreams and we'll be free
And we will be who we are
And they'll heal our scars
Sadness will be far away Mumford & Sons – Not with Haste

Here’s the official announcement of the sonic upgrade – when the title track from Sigh No More hit your speakers, it never sounded poor, but it didn’t sound like it was being performed live in your living room, the way Babel does.
