Roll Away Your Stone by Mumford and Sons




This is probably one of my all-time favorite Mumford & Sons (and I apologize in advance for reviewing to many songs by then. I'm an avid fan).
Most of the songs in the album, "Sigh No More" include some banjo - their trademark instrument of choice - but "Roll Away Your Stone" features the banjo more prominently than most of the other, which is one of the best characteristics of the song. Many seem to disagree with me, however...
This isn't related to the musical side of the song, however, this song features what I find very powerful lyrics. Not like "Oh, let's save the world and fight bullying" or anything, but I can really feel the emotion in the lyrics and also the great vocals of Marcus Mumford.
Also, Mumford & Sons songs are like mash-ups - there are so many different parts of the song that it feels like they just put two or three songs together. Now, is this a good thing? Yes - I love it.
