White Blank Page - Mumford and Sons

Picking any one song off of Mumfords cd is difficult in itself, as every song speaks to me in a different way, but White Blank Page especially is incredible, and his vocal delivery in it is beautiful. It may be the fact it's written in 3/4 that especially makes it stand out, as it has a very unique feel on the album. The song is about deceit, in the fact that he can't lay next to his lover and feels the weight of giving everything to naother with no return. The part of kneeling before the king is giving the chance for confession of sins ( in the live versions, he usually says "this king" making the song far more personal I think.) The second part is about his prgression of trying to turn this anger and hurt into a song, which I think is a huge part of my writing as well. It's an old story of man loving girl, and girl loving someone else while the former is left to deal with his emotions.
