Mumford & Sons Cover Gracie Abrams’ ‘I Love You, I’m Sorry’: Listen

Marcus Mumford channeled Gracie Abrams‘ guitar strums and vocals while visiting the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. On Monday, Mumford & Sons visited the Live Lounge to perform a cover of The Secret of Us favorite, “I Love You, I’m Sorry.”

“That’s just the way life goes/I like to slam doors closed,” sang Mumford. “Trust me, I know it’s always about me/I love you, I’m sorry.”

The band also performed their own song “Rubber Band Man” during their appearance. Abrams and the Mumfords have been connected for a while. Last November, she and her co-writer Audrey Hobert revealed that they once played the band a “very vulgar” version of her song “That’s So True.”

Abrams explained that she and Hobart were writing “That’s So True” on the roof of Electric Lady Studios, and they didn’t realize that there was another roof above them. The pair were “a little drunk in a great way — in a light, fresh way,” as Abrams put it. “We weren’t like sloppy,” Hobart added. And they “were just doubled over in tears, laughing so hard, saying the most horrific shit to song,” Abrams continued.

And then Abrams got a text from Lee Foster, who runs Electric Lady: “He’s like, ‘Mumford & Sons are doing an interview right above you.’ … It was bad!” 

Mumford & Sons and Abrams connected last year while performing at a pre-election concert in support of Kamala Harris in Wisconsin. There, Abrams played “I Love You, I’m Sorry” and “Free Now,” while Mumford & Sons performed a four-song set.
