A young boy watches over his dying mother and fantasizes about better times with her in the video for Mumford and Sons\u2019 new Delta<\/em> single \u201cBeloved.\u201d The son and mother, who\u2019s still wearing a hospital gown, run around, go shoplifting and ride horses on a beach. \u201cBefore you leave, you must know you are beloved,\u201d Marcus Mumford<\/a> sings against a serene backdrop of synths and guitars, \u201cand before you leave, remember I was with you.\u201d It all builds to an emotional finale.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone knows loss in one way or another,\u201d Marcus Mumford said in a statement. \u201cThis song is about that. I\u2019d never sat with anyone as they died before, and it had an effect on me. As it does everyone I know who has experienced it. But there\u2019s wildness and beauty in it as well, and a deep honoring, that became the beginnings of this song that we worked up called \u2018Beloved.\u2019 I feel determined for people to take whatever they want from it, and not to be emotionally prescriptive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlotte Regan, whose 2017 short film Standby<\/em> was nominated for a BAFTA, directed the clip, and shot it in and around Port Talbot, Wales. \u201cPort Talbot was an amazing place,\u201d she said. \u201cTo be honest it was somewhere I hadn\u2019t thought about until the band mentioned it. I used to visit my nan up north in Redcar where she lived for a little while and remembered looking down long streets and seeing kids playing football or curby with these big industrial buildings in the background, and initially, that was where I had in mind. But as soon as we started looking at pictures of Port Talbot, we knew it was perfect. It was a proper beautiful place with an amazing sense of community but still maintained that kind of grit we were looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group is currently touring the United States through March 31st. At a recent gig in Cleveland, the band covered Nine Inch Nails\u2019 \u201cHurt.\u201d<\/a> They\u2019ll return to North America in August<\/a> for shows along the West Coast and in the Rockies.<\/p>\n
