VIDEO: Mumford & Sons "Lover Of The Light"

Only five artists released albums in 2012 that went on to sell over 1 million copies. Mumford & Sons is among them. Using the term "rock band" very loosely, Babel's 600,000 sales debut in its first week was the biggest for a rock album in four years. And it was the biggest debut week of 2012 until Taylor Swift doubled the mark a few weeks later. Either way, Mumford & Sons are on a roll.

The U.K. folk group picked "Lover Of The Light" from Babel for their next single. Idris Elba - best known for playing drug-kingpin-turned-legitimate-businessman Stringer Bell on HBO's acclaimed drama The Wire - portrays a blind man slowly navigating his home and then running through the woods at a pace that is probably unsafe for someone who can't see. The folks at Spinner give more selling points for watching the clip, "Filmed in Wales, it's a beautiful video that'll definitely tug at your heartstrings (there's also a cute dog). So, check it out below."
