Mumford & Sons’ Heartfelt Cover of Gracie Abrams’ ‘I Love You, I’m Sorry’
Marcus Mumford’s Live Lounge Performance
Marcus Mumford recently showcased his talents at the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, delivering a captivating cover of Gracie Abrams’ song, “I Love You, I’m Sorry.” This performance marked a special moment for Mumford & Sons as they embraced the charm of Abrams’ guitar strums and vocals.
Performance Highlights
During the live session, Mumford passionately sang, “That’s just the way life goes/I like to slam doors closed,” embodying the raw emotion of the song. The lyrics resonated deeply with the audience and displayed Mumford’s vocal prowess.
A Musical Connection
In addition to the cover, the band performed their own track, “Rubber Band Man.” The connection between Abrams and Mumford & Sons has roots going back to last November. Abrams, alongside her co-writer Audrey Hobart, shared that they once played a rather explicit version of their song “That’s So True” to the band.
A Memorable Writing Session
Abrams recounted the experience of writing “That’s So True” on the roof of Electric Lady Studios. They were unaware that another roof existed above them, making for a hilarious situation. “We were a little drunk in a great way — in a light, fresh way,” Abrams recalled. Hobart added, “We weren’t like sloppy,” highlighting the joy they felt during their creative process.
When they received a text from Lee Foster, who operates Electric Lady, they learned Mumford & Sons were conducting an interview right above them. “It was bad!” the text humorously proclaimed.
Concert Connections
Mumford & Sons and Abrams further solidified their bond during a pre-election concert for Kamala Harris in Wisconsin last year. At this event, they both performed, with Abrams singing “I Love You, I’m Sorry” and “Free Now,” while Mumford & Sons graced the stage for a four-song set.
