Seldom does Jon Stewart have rock performances on the Daily Show -- but last night, he had Mumford & Sons mumble what seems to be their big new song.
Not great guitar work -- flailing, really. Drummer -- well, hell, a drum-machine could do that. And, since I couldn't understand word one from them, I just checked the lyrics on-line. So, here is the banal chorus (to be repeated FOUR times!):
Been wondering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanting waves
I want to learn to love in kind
'Cause You were all I ever longed for
Not impressed, guys -- Joanie Fucking Mitchell wrote better shit, and that's not saying much. At least SHE would have consistently spelled "You" with a cap-Y, OR not: not four "You" and eight painful iterations of "you/your"...
