Sigh No More is the title of Irish newcomers Mumford & Sons and has so far gained major critical success. One of the key reasons for this critical success is in the band’s use of incredible lyrics and thought provoking phrases. One may also notice in many of the lyrics a certain familiarity with some of them. That is because Mumford & Sons borrows heavily from classic literature to make their music, and the combination comes off brilliantly.

The album title itself, Sigh No More, is a reference to Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. In the play Balthasar plays a similar song by the same name, and Mumford & Son's song borrows heavily from the Shakespeare version. The title-track often borrows entire lines from the lyrics in the play or from other parts of the play in general. Some of these lines include, “One foot on land, one on shore” “Man is a giddy thing” and “Serve God, love me, and mend”.

From wikipedia:
Minoru Yamasaki (December 1, 1912 – February 7, 1986) was a Japanese-American architect, best known for his design of the twin towers of the World Trade Center, buildings 1 and 2. Yamasaki was one of the most prominent architects of the 20th century. He and fellow architect Edward Durell Stone are generally considered to be the two master practitioners of "New Formalism."

Yamasaki was born in Seattle, Washington, a second-generation Japanese American, son of John Tsunejiro Yamasaki and Hana Yamasaki. He grew up in Auburn, Washington and attended Auburn Senior High School. He enrolled in the University of Washington program in architecture in 1929, and graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) in 1934. During his college years, he was strongly encouraged by faculty member Lionel Pries. He earned money to pay for his tuition by working at an Alaskan salmon cannery.
