Cold Arms

Over barebones electric guitar, Marcus Mumford sings here of a relationship left "all torn up" by something he said. Mumford bass player Ted Dwayne told the story of the song to The Music.com: "The writing of that felt pretty swift; it came together quite naturally," he said. "It used to be a really big song, we layered heaps of stuff over it, and we basically took stuff away and away and away until it was just the harmonies."

The recording that you hear on Wilder Mind was the band's first take.
