Heard: Mumford & Sons & Birdy

So imagine my delight when my favourite female vocalist paired up with one of my top ten bands. Birdy does a Mumford & Sons track for the 'Brave' OST with Mumford themselves as backing vocals. I absolutely love it. The fact that she is only 15 years old with the voice like that makes her all the more interesting to listen to. Her voice is soulful, crooning and I'm so excited to watch her grow as an artist. 

The lyrics by Mumford & Sons are pretty special too. 

Though I may speak some tongue of old
Or even spit out some holy word 
I have no strength with which to speak
When you sit me down and see I’m weak 

We will run and scream 
You will dance with me 
We’ll fulfil our dreams and we’ll be free 

We will run and scream
You will dance with me 
We’ll fulfil our dreams and we’ll be free 

We will be who we are
And they’ll heal our scars 
Sadness will be far away

So I had done wrong but you put me right 
My judgement burned in the black of night 
When I give less than I take
It is my fault my own mistake

We will run and scream
You will dance with me
We’ll fulfil our dreams and we’ll be free
We will be who we are
And they’ll heal our scars
Sadness will be far away

If you're a Disney fan, 'Brave' is a great one to watch. I'm loving the fact that the theme of Disney movies isn't so much about a prince swooping in to save a little princess from harm all the time. The theme of this movie is around a strong-willed young woman and her relationship with her Mum. Lovely!
