She'll lie and steal and cheat, and beg you from her knees
Make you thinks she means it this time
She'll tear a hole in you, the one you can't repair
But I still love her, I don't really care

When we were young, oh oh, we did enough
When it got cold, ooh ooh, we bundled up
I cant be told, ah ah it can't be done

It's better to feel pain, than nothing at all
The opposite of love's indifference
Pay attention now, I'm standing on your porch screaming out
And I won't leave until you come downstairs

So keep your head up, keep your love
keep your head up, my love
Keep your head up, my love
Keep your head up, keep your love

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

When we were young oh oh, we did enough
When it got cold, ooh ooh we bundled up
I can't be told, ah ah, can't be done

So keep your head up, keep your love
keep your head up, my love
Keep your head up, my love
keep your head up, keep your love

Reading through quite a few of the comments for this song, it feels like much of the negativity stems from the idea that The Lumineers are using tricks to get people to react to the music. But that's the thing about pretty much all music: a large portion of EVERY SINGLE SONG is trying to get you to react to it. That's the point of music.

Look at it a different way - when you like a particular artist or a particular style of music, oftentimes you barely even notice all of the tropes & hooks that are taking place in the song. Or you may acknowledge them and remark that they work. Then someone else comes along using the same songwriting tricks and the tunes don't hit the same way, and now the manipulation within the music is apparent to you and you dislike the tactic. It's not necessarily that the trope is tired or awful, but that you're aware of the trick before it has a chance to work and you're annoyed that they tried to manipulate you.

When you were a kid, you listened to and probably enjoyed pretty simple music. Maybe you got introduced to more mature stuff through your parents. As you grew older, the tunes got more complicated, more nuanced, more novel. Chances are that you may have grown to a point where new music similar to what you heard as a youth no longer has the pull that it once did. (For some people, that hold never lets go and they don't "evolve" as a listener.) You learn about new & varied styles of music, your knowledge about song construction expands, and your expectations for what you want out of what you listen to grows.

This song by The Lumineers is finely constructed and strongly performed. You may or may not like it, but I doubt RP would have added it to the playlist if it wasn’t well done. It works for a lot of listeners on here and many more in the general populace because it has catchy hooks, interesting lyrics, and a good energy that can sweep you up with it. I love singing along to songs at a concert; I’m that annoying bastard that sings his ass off the entire night and goes home hoarse. I don’t need “hey-oh” portions to get me to participate, but I like this song and a lot of other similar stuff on here. I also love more introspective stuff like Talk Talk or Brahms or Miles Davis or whatever.

If you don’t like this song or other ones similar to it, that’s fine. There may be some aspect to it that doesn’t work for you and the songwriting tropes that work for many other tunes, including ones you probably enjoy, are painfully aware to you as an educated listener. For others, those nooks & tricks are immaterial or are the very things that claim their interest and their enjoyment is completely legitimate.



Abbb sooo lute ehh ly!!!!!!

I believe this sound first originated during the Civil War.  The Confederates made this sound when they charged Union positions. Well, at least the musically inclined and "hip" rebels who worked out and had trimmed beards did, anyway. This happened after they ate their avocado toast and drank their craft pour-over coffee for breakfasts. Gen. Lee always insisted they eat healthy breakfasts and besides, the troops attacked better after having caffeine. And then they had craft beer at night, but possibly also hard ciders and seltzers. 
A nice song and a great production.
'It's better to feel pain, than nothing at all
The opposite of love is indifference'

I don't know a more depressing - yet painfully relatable - lyric than that.

For those confused about what exactly the "millennial whoop" is, it isn't the stomping and clapping stuff that bands like this do, but rather a vocal pattern, alternating between the fifth and third note of the scale. In this song it appears in the "oh-oh's" and "ooh-ooh's" of the chorus section after "when we were young" and "when we got cold."

I've heard it called the "millennial yell" - but where did it come from?  What band invented it?

Mr UbersmartGuy, which anesthetic would you recommend for the pain caused by a broken heart?



In my case, bourbon and a variety of women worked well.  Got tired of the transient feeling of that life style ...  after 8 years.

And I'm commenting because the Lumineers aren't holding my attention.

These guys are the second wave of fake-Americana / hipster-folk.  They are to Mumford & Sons what Creed is to Pearl Jam.

RP always grades on a curve.

The opposite of love's indifference



Leonard Cohen revealed the "secret" to be "Do dah dah." or in this case, "oh oh ooo ooo."

rubbish, for too many reasons to go into here.

THIS garbage after the great JJ's anthem, Call Me The Breeze?

Stubborn Love, as with most of their other pathetic offerings, rates a lousy 2. I'm not twirling in my kitchen, I'm running to hit the skip button.

Yes, plenty of my favorite songs have places to sing along, like Hey Jude. But this feels so manipulative.

I haven't heard it in a while so I was happy to hear it, plus they are from Denver where I live.

Not a fan of the hey-ho mucho audience participation bands. I paid to see you perform and you're making me sing?

Agree completely and frankly I can't tell these guys apart from Mumford sons, Avett brothers.  All interchangeable to me.

No, but it is a damn good indicator unless it is a college radio station.

The technical name for street lights is "luminaires."  Wonder if they misspelled something.
we're a mumford band!  {#Cowboy}

Heard about the Lumineers early Thanks to one of our local blogs.  Always thought this was one of the best songs.   Commercial radio pretty much killed Ho-Hey

seems like there are numerous bands going after that sound.  5 and drifting down.

Nothing wrong with being compared with Mumford OR Phil Phillips....

What is Elbow doing in that list? Their music is nothing like this. And they've been around for 10 years.

Play on RP! Great tune. I love it, you've been playing great music this morning. You can count on my continued support.
Good !
braziiiillll ! 
Great tune, one of my favorites. Thanks radio paradise!
 Agree.

Less annoying the M&S, but still not very good. Like the Avett's best of this genre.

indeed, nice song but getting annoying from all the overplay

is this song on a car commercial or something?

i agree, much nicer than avett's or m&s.

There is another mumford wannabe out there for all you radio junkies like me who like won American Idol or something and you know what? it's really good better than this even.  {#Cheesygrin}

Same here. Just moved from a 7 to an 8.
What a voice. It's best when he's belting it out.

..it does sorta, sans the wall of banjo..i'm not gonna hold it against the Lumie's, though (besides Mumford doesn't irk me as much as some)..

..nice enough lyricality & varied tuneage here (imho)..
The more I hear it the more it sounds like Mumford...which is NOT a good thing.  My rating is sliding...

Indeed
Sounds a bit Florence-and-the-Machine-ish (except the singer is a bloke). Not bad on a first listen though.

This one has grown on me. Love the energy in the drums. Solid 8 for me.
Thanks for turning me onto them. I've been listening to this song everyday recently.

Yup, 'cept without the faux Dave Mathews voice.
So many verses too long it's not funny.  Solid 2

Agreed.  The first couple chords always fake me out the same way, and I go dashing for the mute/PSD button.  Not quite as painful as M&S though; I can just tolerate.

How could you say that?  Obviously Tom Petty.
Sounds like mumford.
totally diggin these folks can't wait to hear more on RP
Hey, this locally-based band is ON THE RISE! and what a positive, energetic, catchy sound they have going here!  Thanks, RP!
How refreshing.  Great lyrics and organic sound.  Go RP!  8{#Hug}

I have no idea what your saying my French Canadian friend but goddamn, I like the way you say it!
Loved seeing them at HSB12 in SF.  the Rooster Stage audience loved them, and when everyone sang along it was so perfect!

Reminds me of my ex-wife

Has an Edwin Sharpe and Monsters and Men sound. I like it. And maybe it's a lot like what Arcade Fire *should* sound like if they weren't busy creating such a racket. 
The more I hear from these guys the more they move up the board of awesome.  
I LOVE this song…great band :)

"Ho Hey" off this album is getting substantial air play here in SB. 8.
*Plays in last 30 days: 10*......REALLY????.......first time for me........
....start with a 7......think,its gonna be 8 after next hearing....
I like the style and the sound and the song and well I guess what I'm trying to say is I like this.
His voice and phrasing in spots sounds like old Tom Chocrane. Similar to in the song "Boy inside the man"
Oh I like this!
