For their latest music video, Mumford & Sons teamed up with the acclaimed British actor Idris Elba (The Wire, Prometheus). He directed and starred in
the clip for "Lover of the Light," from the band's latest release, Babel. The video follows Elba's character, a blind man, through his rigid morning
routine, which he disrupts suddenly when he leaves his walking stick on a coathanger and bounds out into the world on his own. Elba's four senses take
him on a wild journey through fields and woods and right towards the edge of a cliff – and set to Mumford & Sons' stirring song, the video is as
poignant and triumphant as you'd expect.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.
There was a story today in the Chicago paper...a blurb really about some guy that's robbed a bunch of gas stations (maybe it was something else...but
it matters not) and the police were calling him the Stringer Bell bandit "after the character in the wire"...but didn't mention at all WHY the hell
they were even calling him that.
It's like "lets arbitrarily pick a name to call this guy that will get people interested!"
