My dad have been in the music industry for well over 40 years and heard everything. When I discovered the Lumineers, I watched the entire concept-album of the Ballad of Cleopatra. Then I called my dad and said, "You need to see this." He went in and we watched the entire thing. My dad isn't very emotional, he's 70 now, and he was taught to hold it all inside. He smiled, he cried, he laughed, and in the end, he didn't had to told me this was the most moving thing he had ever hear or seen. I just knew. There are many bands in this world - a lot are better on paper, have better equipment, and play in big stadiums, in front of bigger audiences, and rack up hit after hit. But the Lumineers are special. Not because they're virtuosos nor because their songs speak for our generation, not because they are sexy or weird or cool. The Lumineers are legendary because their music, quite simply, sounds like life.

In 2012, my friend gave me an extra ticket to see Brandi Carlile in our little resort town of 1000 people in northern WI. He told me he was going so he could see the opener, a band I've never heard of called The Lumineers. I swear my friend and I were the youngest people in the audience but once The Lumineers came out they had the whole audience singing, even at one point with a three-part harmony. After the show, they were standing around outside the venue awkwardly so my friend and I bought their CD and got it signed by them. I ripped that CD straight to my MP3 player and listened to it that summer on repeat while biking to my job washing dishes at a restaurant. I don't listen to them as much as I used to but that first album always brings me back.
