mumford & sons has a funny way of rearranging my heart.

i shattered my phone once upon a time while running from a flood in my basement.

and replaced it in an unfamiliar mall in boston just 1 day after i’d left for the road trip.

for 35 consecutive days, i bounced between the 5 songs i’d managed to transfer to my new overpriced phone and the radio stations that changed formats as frequently as i changed zip codes.

m&s was one of the lucky 5 that made the transfer and carried me across the country.

[along with a talking heads tune that brings new meaning to classic and oh.hell.yes.]

beginning officially on an open highway on the east coast.

and ending somewhat broken in a parking lot on the west.

[but the good kind of broken. because we know this is possible.]

whenever i hear this song, like i did tonight, i’m right there.

and i am thankful.

there are not words to describe how much.

even though i think you already know . . .
