03/27/19 — Grab the tissues, you're going to need them. 'Beloved' is the fourth track on Mumford & Son's latest album Delta. The song is about expressing your love for a loved one before losing them. The touching video follows a young boy enjoying life with his mother before revealing in the end that she passes away.
Marcus Mumford explained in a statement, "Everyone knows loss in one way or another, this song is about that. I'd never sat with anyone as they died before, and it had an effect on me. As it does everyone I know who has experienced it. But there's wildness and beauty in it as well, and a deep honouring, that became the beginnings of this song that we worked up called 'Beloved.' I feel determined for people to take whatever they want from it, and not to be emotionally prescriptive."
UGH I’M TOTALLY BALLING NOW.
