I think it was a reminder that nothing really mattered. Yeah, I think there’s probably an extra element of how grateful we are that we can keep doing it does feel a bit different, a bit more special. So we’re kind of going straight at it and not holding back at all.ĭoes it feel extra special now because Ted is back?
#Hopeless wanderer full#
We are starting the full English tour in two weeks and that’s gonna be the end of touring for a bit at the end of that next round of dates. Smashing the glass, obviously a regular occurrence.Īnd how is the tour going? What’s it like to be on the road again? So that part of the video made a lot of sense. We normally just go down to a good old pub and throw beer around and sing songs together. I didn’t know that there was another level to it.ĭid it hit close to home, the images of you guys in the pub drinking? I think he was literally trying to imply that we make out. Sam told me he wanted to poke fun of the camaraderie or bromance that you see in videos like Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child ‘O Mine” when the band is on the road together all the time and hanging out. I think we just gotta accept that bromance is there and sometimes guys just gotta kiss, you know?
To be fair it does fairly reflect what goes on in Mumford & Sons. That was definitely kind of a wow moment. What did you think when you saw the kiss? And it showed why they’re so good at their jobs. So it made a lot more sense to put other people on the screen who are very watchable and much more qualified than us. We can’t stand having our photo taken or doing a video because that’s not why we’re musicians. We’ve never ever ever liked any of our music videos. I think having fun with it is probably the only way forward. Music videos are ridiculous things that bands do for their music, trying to get it right. And it felt pretty important to remind people that most of the time we’re just goofing around. We do our music that we care about and it is from an earnest place but you know we don’t just sort of sit around in basements with the curtains closed crying about things that inspired songs in the first place. Anyone who has spent some time with us knows that we really don’t take ourselves that seriously.
Well, we do that shit all the time though. People seemed surprised that you were poking fun at yourselves so much. Marcus Mumford Reveals He Was Sexually Abused as a Child But there was no mention of a banjo dance until the final edit, which was a pleasant slash horrible surprise. We worked on the idea ith Sam a bit before they did the shoot. They’re not only very well known comedians, they’re also four of the best improvisors in like the comedy world…So they basically spent a day just messing around and what they came out with just blew us all away.” Lovett gave RS the band’s first interview since the video’s release, and also chatted about Lollapalooza, being back on the road and the return of Ted Dwane after having a blood clot removed from his brain.ĭid you have any idea that Sam and those guys would take it as far as they did? “It was just a lot funnier than I think any of us had expected, ’cause the guys were totally just riffing. What have we done?'” says Mumford & Sons’ Ben Lovett about the band’s new video for “Hopeless Wanderer.” The hilarious clip, directed by Sam Jones, was released earlier this week and stars Jason Bateman, Ed Helms, Will Forte and Jason Sudeikis.
