Having just finished Much Ado About Nothing, and recognizing even more lines used by Mumford and Sons, I decided to go listen to Sigh No More again.  Obviously, the name comes from the song in the play, but they also borrow lines from the end of the play for other songs.  Interesting to consider the song as a whole, in light of the message of the play and specifically the character of Benedick, the man who swears to be a bachelor forever, and then pronounces happily at the end of the play to his remaining, single friend, "Get thee a wife!"  It is interesting to me the fears we hold of love, or more so, marriage and commitment.  It seems the older we get, and the longer we're single, the bigger they become.  And while I usually assume this fear of commitment is specific to our generation, or at least magnified in it, this play of Shakespeare's lead me to suspect otherwise.  Man's tendency has always been to isolation and independence, it's only that we finally think we really can do it on our own.  They say we're fools in love, but I think we're more fools to think we need it not. Two quote another of the greatest lyricists, "Sometimes you can't make it on your own."

I don't think this is their official video, but it's pretty cool. Watch. ;)  (Yes, Morgan, balloons.  But when there's also a bit of a Heroes feel to it, with the whole waking up in a desert and the meanings that can all be deduced from the handcuff to the suitcase... it's suddenly creative, just watch.)
