| "Forever" | Delta | 2018 | The first electric song that the band laid to tape for Wilder Mind. Marcus Mumford described the song as, "Really exciting, a very garage rock kind of song", adding that the demo, “was like the gateway drug to the rest of the record ...We took what Forever had done and worked with that ...The song set the bar for the others to come”.[5] “Forever” was due to be on the record right until the end, but didn’t make the album as it was technically a road-written song and "didn’t quite fit sound-wise, style-wise”.[6] The song was first heard when played live in Düsseldorf in May 2016. |
