Lover Of The Light, a song that has been a favorite in the band’s live set for a little while now, has finally received some light of its own.

The video, directed by Idris Elba, debuted at midnight last night; Elba tweeted:

I want to share this with you… I wrote & directed this video for @MumfordAndSons Very proud amazing song -> http://t.co/TE85Vflt

Lover Of The Light will be officially released in the UK on 3rd December but is available now as part of Babel, the band’s sophomore release.

At the 54th Grammy Awards, Mumford & Sons revealed, “We’ve been fortunate to work with some great directors but we’ve never really enjoyed being in videos. Talking to Idris and Dan (Cadan, scriptwriter) about making a video that we’re not in made it a lot more fun.

“They wrote the treatment after our ale-infused conversation in a pub in London.  What they directed we are proud to present.”
