Winter Winds

"Winter Winds" is the second single by the London folk quartet Mumford & Sons, released from their debut album, Sigh No More.

[2] Fraser McAlpine of the BBC Chart Blog gave the song a positive 5-star review stating that it would serve as an "amazing Christmas carol equivalent" for a 'winterval' type holiday, as "it's quietly optimistic, pleased without being smug, melancholy but uplifting" and "sure of itself, but only because all the lessons learned have been hard-won, and generally reflective of times gone by".

"We didn't want to make something that had multiple interpretations and ideas coming from every side.

Fighting a losing battle, going against the wind" Mumford has stated it is his favorite song to sing live.

"Winter Winds" debuted on the UK Singles Chart on 30 November 2009 at number 99.
