Delta.

I don’t have much to say regarding my current state of mind. Because of this, this blog will be about something that enjoyed this weekend. I heard a new album from a band I love. The album is old now I never got to hear it. The album is “Delta” from Mumford & Sons. Music has always had a relaxing effect on me. I think there is a song for every moment in which we feel a strong emotion. A song can describe our feelings and we can relate to them. It may be the lyrics or the melody; it depends on the person.

Delta is the last album from Mumford & Sons. The band still hasn’t gone back to its roots of more folkloric instruments like their iconic banjo. They are still experimenting with their music through the use of more modern instruments, especially those that fall in the electric category just like they did in their previous album “Wilder Minds”. The album has had mixed reviews from critics. To every person, their own opinion. But I enjoyed the album to a great degree personally. The album is soothing if I am going to describe it. 

My favorite songs so far have been “Woman”, “Picture You”, “Forever”, “42”, "Wild Heart" and “Guiding Light”. I haven’t heard the album many times so my opinion might change in the future. I think the album is a great thing to hear for people dealing with a hard moment since according to Ben Lovett, a band member, it deals with themes like death, divorce, drugs, and my personal nightmare, depression. So hearing soothing music like this just makes me feel good and calm.

♫ Where do I turn to when there's no choice to make?
And how do I presume when there's so much at stake?
I was so sure of it all

But what if I need you in my darkest hour?
And what if it turns out there is no other?
If this is our last hope
We would see a sign, oh
We would see a sign ♫
