![]() ![]() The song is about someone seeking to explore the world. The best lyric in this song is “To the ends of the earth would you follow me?” This song has a really happy and upbeat tone. It picks up around 50 seconds with faster tempo and beat added. ![]() The beginning of the song starts out slow like many of Lord Huron’s songs. This is the most played song from the Lonesome Dreams album. This is a good song but it doesn’t keep you interested enough to fully pay attention to it. This is also a good song to have on in the background while you can still jam out to it. This is because it is a continuation of the song before, “The Yawning Grave.” The song finally picks up and has a new beat, while still carrying on the original start in the background, at around 15 seconds. The song has a strange start that doesn’t seem to match the rest of the song. This song is from the Strange Trails album. Lord Huron sings, “Yes I know that love is like ghosts” in “Love Like Ghosts” then sings, “I don’t know what I’m supposed to do haunted by the ghost of you” in “The Night We Met.” “Love Like Ghosts” is almost like a long intro for “The Night We Met.” I ranked this as 10 because even though it is still a good song, it seems repetitive next to “The Night We Met.” “The Night We Met” and this song have many similarities including the motif of ghosts. It is almost foreshadowing what the song will be at the end because it has the same melody as “The Night We Met” which is at the very end of the album. This song starts out slow and has the same melody as “The Night We Met.” This is also from the Strange Trails album and is the first song in the album. Lord Huron makes amazing music and I attempted to rank them from worst to best (in my personal opinion) and why. Let’s be honest, ranking these songs is not easy. Lead singer and guitarist Ben Schneider founded the band. The band is composed of Ben Schneider, Mark Barry, Tom Renaud and Miguel Briseno. If you find yourself in the mood to separate your mind from your body, just a bit, I suggest plugging this music into your ears for a little while, especially on a peaceful summer night.Lord Huron is an indie rock band based in Los Angeles. This is but one example of the ethereal lyrics performed by Lord Huron. ![]() “If I can’t touch your body,” he asks, “can I touch the sky?” The speaker’s hope of reaching his love is met with resignation that, if he can’t reach her, he’d rather melt into the universe than live without her. “Ancient Names” is an exciting, faster-paced song about a man visiting a fortune teller rumored to be named “Lady Moonbeam.” One can only assume, based on the lyrics, that what she has to say to him is less than optimistic.Īnother stop on the journey of “Vide Noir” is “Wait by the River,” a beautifully bittersweet song about waiting for a lost love. My personal favorite stops on that journey are “Back from the Edge,” “Secret Life,” the title track “Vide Noir,” “When the Night is Over” and the two-part “Ancient Names,” which is eight minutes in total and waxes and wanes as an eight minute song should. A search for meaning amidst the cold indifference of The Universe.” No wonder the music provokes such a spiritual feeling. It did not disappoint.įor a bit of background on the album, “Vide Noir” is French for “Black Void.” The band’s front man, Ben Schneider, claimed to draw inspiration from his nighttime drives around Los Angeles, imagining the album as an odyssey through the cosmos and “a journey along the spectrum of human experience. In the following days, I felt an unignorable itch to hear as many of the band’s songs as I possibly could, and a quick Google search revealed Lord Huron’s most recent album, “Vide Noir,” released in 2018, which I ravaged like an animal. There was something about the song that felt familiar, like I had heard it before.Īlso on that night’s fated playlist were “Meet Me in the Woods,” “The Ghost on the Shore” and “La Belle Fleur Sauvage.” I was drawn in and sunken by the band’s distinct indie-folk-rock sound. The first song I heard, “The Night We Met,” a waltz-ballad about regret, faded love and the 20/20 quality of hindsight, is enchanting and nostalgic. I honestly can’t think of a more accurate way to describe it. My discovery of Lord Huron felt like a spiritual experience. This week, I’d like to share my thoughts on Lord Huron. That evening, two bands carried me through my existential journey, both of which were new to me, and both became obsessions for me: Lord Huron and Grizzly Bear. Sometimes, you just have to drift through time, carried by music. This is one of my favorite hobbies, as well as one of my least productive. During one particularly peaceful summer night this past July, I spent a few hours sitting in my overgrown backyard with nothing but a drink, my bluetooth speaker and my own thoughts.
