Folk Music Spotlight ~ The Lumineers

As one of my absolute favorites, this song by The Lumineers has been in my writing mix for a long time. Just last week a good friend messaged me with the video saying how much it reminded her of Lonnie and Gideon…

*smile*

…and wondered if I heard it. She said it could be their theme song. I couldn’t have agreed more! If Gideon were to write a song, I do think this would be it.

If you’ve read Though My Heart is Torn…you just might know what we’re getting at. 😉

So without further introduction, here is a song you may very well have heard recently on the radio. It’s topping the charts like crazy around here: “Ho Hey” by the Lumineers. Enjoy!

This song is so addicting and catchy, and SO Gideon. Hooray for another excuse to listen to it! And your description of the stomping had me cracking up. 🙂

Oh yes, I’ve heard this. It’s been used in commercials. I’m glad to hear the whole song. Like Amanda said, very catchy.

Very fitting for Gideon and Lonnie.

Thanks, Lori!

And that’s fun to know 🙂 We don’t have TV, so I never would have known it was in commercials.

I’ve heard of this group before, but I’ve never listened to them. I really like this song. I could SO hear Gideon singing this song. Very catchy tune. Hugs and God bless.
