For years, I didn't have much of an opinion on the British rock band, Mumford & Sons. While I had a few of their top hits in my music library, the songs were rarely played. This all changed on May 4th, 2015 with their release of their new album, "Wilder Mind."

No, these aren't the kind of songs that make you want to steal the AUX cord at a party and dance on an elevated surface. The songs are so, so much more than that. They are the kind of songs, however, that you want to listen to when you're driving at night or hiding in you room upset with the world; when you're having that weekly dramatic moment where you feel no one understands you and nothing is okay. These songs bring us back to reality, anchoring us with solace, reminding you that everything is going to be okay.

For those with a wild mind.

Let's start with the title: "Wilder Mind." As much as no one wants to admit it, from time to time we all feel like we're losing our mind with slight insanity. Even the sanest of us, the calmest of us, have moments of feeling unanchored, feeling astray. We all have at least some minuscule part of our brain that's wild.

And for those of you, like me, who have a mind that's much more wild than it is tame, the lyrics of the song, "Wilder Mind," will make you feel like you can conquer all. The song starts with a bang:

"It's in my blood, it's in my water. You try to tame me, tame me from the start."

Instantly, you think of your inner passion, your inner charisma and you think of any person who hasn't understood you before. The chorus then says,

"I had been blessed with a wilder mind."

And you think to yourself, "You're right Mumford & Songs, I am blessed." I love my wild mind, my unruly life. Whoever tries to tame me, to alter me is not worth the time of day.

For those ending a relationship.

"Tompkins Square Park" is a song portraying a couple meeting in a park, and they both know that this is likely their last meeting. They both know that as the sunrise comes so their relationship will go.

The song, "Believe," reveals the denial we all have to come out of when we realize a relationship has actually come to a close.

My favorite song of the album, "Ditmas," is an empowering song for someone who's facing the end of a relationship. It's upbeat, an intentional choice to uplift the listeners. The lyrics express,

"But this is all I ever was, and this is all you came across those years ago... Don't tell me that I've changed because that's not the truth and now I'm losing you."

This makes the listener relate to the lyrics while creating a kind of "screw you" attitude toward the person who thinks you're not good enough for them.

"The world outside just watches as we crawl, crawl towards a life of fragile lines, and wasted time"

THIS. This perfectly expresses the fragility of a relationship that's on thin ice, and the disabling effect that heartbreak can have on someone. This is so relatable; often one of the most crippling aspects when losing someone is feeling like you wasted so much time on that person.

For those with a never-ending relationship.

My second favorite song on the album, "Just Smoke," is about being stuck in a relationship; the painfully relatable concept of a couple not being able to let go of one another, no matter how unhealthy the relationship gets. It starts,

"Tell my thoughts to resign, and lift you from my mind."

If you can't relate to the frustration and sadness that comes with not being able to get someone out of your constant thought processes then you clearly have no soul. The lyrics continue:

"I thought we were done... But as you left I was calling your name at the night."

If those lyrics don't speak to you immediately, I may need to translate into the language of today's generation: it's that 2 a.m. text saying "hi" to your ex that you had promised earlier in the night to ever speak to again.

"Cold Arms" captures the pain one feels when they are with someone they know they are going to lose, someone they know they shouldn't be with:

"But in my cold arms, you don't sleep. In my cold arms, your fear beats."

This is so relatable for anyone who has experienced this situation.

For those longing for someone they can't have.

One of the more upbeat songs, "The Wolf," refers to the longing, the excitement, the exaggerated passion people feel for one another when they know they can't be together for various reasons. The lyrics express,

"Been wondering for days, how you felt me slip your mind... cause you were all I ever longed for."

The idea that someone can actually feel another person slip their mind is so unreal yet so relatable at the same time.

My failure to mention all of the songs on this album does not mean I want to intentionally undermine some of the songs. The entire album is amazing — every single song. However, unfortunately, one could write a novel on every song and every lyric on this album. I just wanted to draw your attention to the album as a whole and highlight some of the amazing lyrics. The release of this amazing album came and went much too quickly; it's underrated and almost forgotten. Well I won't forget it, and hopefully now, neither will you.
