My Top 5 Favorite The Lumineers Songs

Ever since The Lumineers released their self titled debut album in 2012. I have been obsessed with their lyrics and music style. Their musical style is a mash of Americana folk, country and rock genre. Every song tells a story that reverberates in my daily life

So These are my top 5 favorite The Lumineers tracks

5 Cleopatra

But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

A song about love and loss. This is a beautifully crafted song that tells of a woman who was not ready when love found her, and when she was finally ready, the love was inrevocably gone. You can have a listen here: https://open.spotify.com/track/2ToW7zhGCrVrLU4fiKj9U1

4 Stubborn Love

And I don't blame ya dear
For running like you did, all these years
I would do the same, your best believe
And the highway signs say we're close
But I don't read those things anymore
I never trusted my own eyes

This song tells of how love blinds us about the blindness of love to imperfections. It is bliss and agony tightly intertwined. You can have a listen here: https://open.spotify.com/track/3ekNuTF3UpOvIZCfiejpnC

3 Sleep on the floor

Pack yourself a toothbrush dear
Pack yourself a favorite blouse
Take a withdrawal slip
Take all of your savings out
'Cause if we don't leave this town
We might never make it out
I was not born to drown
Baby come on

The songwriter tells the story of two lovers eloping for love and finding happiness on the road. Throwing off the shackles of expectations from our parents and the regrets that come with it. Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/track/5MMZJtHOiH1RmQSSe3DJdg

2 Angela

The strangers in this town,
They raise you up just to cut you down
Oh Angela it's a long time coming
Oh Angela spent your whole life running

Angela tells a story of Angela who I guess is the writer's prospective lover. But she seems to not really be interested in his love. Listen here: https://open.spotify.com/track/5bodDpPolC3xlame0SVcDY
