"White Blank Page"

My favorite song this week is “White Blank Page” by Mumford and Sons. This song is about a relationship that revolves around sex. In the opening line of the song a question is asked, “ Can you lie next to her and give her your heart as well as your body?” Throughout the song it is known that the man is actually being used instead of the woman, which is an unusual circumstance. The man gave his all to a woman and in the end got his heart broken. The thing I like most about this song, and Mumford in Sons, is the complexity of the lyrics. The lyrics are not cliche and do not give the usual, “I love you but you broke my heart,” simplistic lyrics. Their style is so intriguing and every song leaves you pondering its true definition. For example, within the second verse of the song the artist says, “ You did not think when you sent me to the grave.” This is implying that when the girl left the guy she also took his life with her. It’s a little dramatic, but very meaningful. The idea that when someone leaves you, they leave with your life and you’re left with nothing is fascinating to me. I recommend this song to anyone who enjoys listening to music that makes you think above and beyond.
