The Lumineers are an American folk rock band
based in Boulder, Colorado. The
founding members are Wesley Schultz(lead
vocals, guitar) and Jeremiah Fraites(drums,
percussion, piano). Schultz
and Fraites began writing and performing together in Ramsey, New Jersey, in 2005. Cellist
and vocalist Neyla Pekarek(cello) joined the band in 2010,
and was a member until 2018. The Lumineers emerged as one of the most popular
folk-rock/Americana artists
during the revival of those genres, their popularity growing in the 2010s. The
band's stripped back raw sound draws heavily from artists that influenced
Schultz and Fraites such as Bruce Springsteen,
Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. They
are known for their energetic live shows and several international hit singles
including "Ho Hey", "Stubborn Love",
"Ophelia",
"Angela"
and "Cleopatra".
The band has become one of the top touring bands in the United States and is
also popular in other countries.
The Lumineers have released four albums on
American independent label Dualtone Records(Dine
Alone in Canada and Decca/Universal worldwide). Their self-titled
first album was released in 2012 and peaked at Nº
2 on the U.S. Billboard 200. It has
been certified triple platinum in the U.S. and Canada, platinum in the U.K. and Ireland, and gold in Australia. Their second album, Cleopatra, was
released in 2016 and debuted at Nº 1 on the Billboard 200, and also on the
Canadian and British album charts. It is currently certified platinum in the
U.S. Their third album, titled III,
was released on September 13, 2019 and debuted at Nº 2 on the Billboard 200. Their
fourth album, Brightside,
was released on January 14, 2022. The Lumineers have publicly campaigned to ban
mobile phones at their concerts, providing a locking pouch for people to hold
their phones in during live performances.
Cleopatra is the second studio album by
American indie folk band The Lumineers. The album was released in the
United States on April 8, 2016, and contains the singles "Ophelia", "Cleopatra", "Angela" and "Sleep on the Floor". The
album received positive reviews and commercial success, debuting at number one
on the UK Albums Chart and the Billboard 200.
It is the last album by the band to feature Neyla Pekarek,
who left in October 2018 to pursue a solo career.
When you left this
town, with your windows down
And the wilderness
inside
Let the exits pass,
all the tar and glass
'Til the road and sky align
The strangers in this
town
They raise you up just to cut you down
Oh Angela it's a long time coming
And your Volvo lights
lit up green and white
With the cities on the signs
But you held your
course to some distant war
In the corners of your mind
From the second time
around
The only love I ever found
Oh Angela it's a long time coming
Home at last
Were you safe and
warm in your coat of arms
With your fingers in a fist
Did you hear the
notes, all those static codes
In the radio abyss?
Strangers in this
town
They raise you up just to cut you down
Oh Angela it's a long time coming in
Oh Angela spent your whole life running away
Home at last
Home at last
Vacancy, hotel room,
lost in me, lost in you
Angela, on my knees, I belong, I believe
Home at last
Home at last
Home at last
Home at last
Home at last.
