How This Album Can Change Your Life - Lord Huron - Long Lost Album Analysis 

Lord Huron is a salvation in today's neutral, meaningless music. Their songs are full of emotions, lyrics with meaning. They touch you where no other bands can do nowadays.

My favorite line from the album is, “I destroyed my health searching for myself, but there ain’t nothing there to find”. It hits so hard and I’m glad this album finally pushed me to finding my own meaning of life

From the moment Spotify suggested Love Like Ghosts to me in 2015, I have been a Ben Schneider disciple and Lord Huron superfan. When they released Vide Noir, I was there at midnight. When they hit Tulsa on their Vide Noir tour on October 1, 2018, I was there. When they hit Las Vegas on the Long Lost tour on my 21st birthday, I was there, too...belly on the barrier, singing along to every lyric, so thoroughly fortunate. The staff were able to give me Ben's guitar pick from that night and I currently have it in a locket. Thank you so much for giving words to the amazement that I feel towards Lord Huron.

I went to see them live with my sister 2 years ago without hearing any of their music previously and I instantly fell in love with the music. It feels like I can listen to their music forever.

Vide Noir is a must. It is so powerful and live in concert it was so immersive.

I first head Lord Huron' song Long Lost. It was freaking Amazing. Its like someone found an old record under a sofa.

Fantastic album and fantastic interpretation of the album! May you live until you die 👍

I am very happy I clicked on this video and finished it.

lord huron has been one of my favorites, if not my favorite band for years now, i started listening to them with the album strange trails when i was struggling with staying alive, and their songs with their theme of someone being "cursed" and not finding an answer to what's beyond are so haunting and beautiful. they helped me accept better mortality and really enjoy the small things in life when everything else is falling apart also the album lonesome dreams and vide noir are so great, i want to get a tattoo themed around them someday

They are the best band around, for sure in the States anyhow. I first been aware of them in 2015 and all of their albums and tours have been stellar..Vide Noir live? Huh were waaaaaaaay out there brotha

Your videos are so well made! Thank you for your perspective and I hope to see a lot more from you

It’s weird that so many of us missed the existentialist aspect of this when it was right there. I was even taking an philosophy class when this came out and didn’t even notice.

You have summoned me. The lord huron target audience!!! I love your perspective and this is honestly lord hurons best work and yoursss 👏🏾

I remember this album came out during peak Covid. It’s incredible.

I loveeee this video! You've explained each song and its mood so articulately. Night we met has always been one of my most favorite songs. Thank you so much for introducing me to this album!

Beautiful video essay. I haven’t heard this album before but I’m on my way to listen to it. Subscribed.

Absolutely amazing work. With Lord Huron and Modest Mouse you’ve already covered two of my favorites bands. I can’t wait to see what you cover next and I hope that your channel rapidly grows in its following as it definitely deserves to.

Their RU-vid series Alive from Whispering Pines really ties the story together, especially the last episode uploaded today!

Incredibly well done! thank you for the video, I'd love to see more lord huron content!

I have been listening to Lord Huron since 2016, and they have stuck with me through a lot. I can't ever get bored or think I've listened to them too much. I can suggest way too many songs, but to start, I would suggest listening to these songs: Emerald Star Ancient Names (Part I and II) Lost in Time & Space Moonbeam Vide Noir I could keep going, most of these songs are from their album Vide Noir. Do check this album and their other stuff out.

I only know Long Lost, the track, never listened to the whole album :[

What do it mean? My way with dealing with it is to read Camus in one hand and the poetry of St. John of the Cross in the other. "nada, nada, nada" Be emptied so that you may be filled by God. I look forward to getting my copy of this album.

When you're familiar with Lord Huron, words fail to capture his artistic essence. This generation should value the music he creates. Thanks for sharing this fantastic video.

Strange trails is one of the best Albums ever made. From start to finish it’s top notch

Lord Huron speaks to my soul in a way I never thought possible. I’m a delivery driver and I listen to Strange Trails and Long Lost daily while working.

I have searched up story of lord huron every other month to see who the first person to tell the crazy story of long lost. you win!

This album did really help me with the idea of my own mortality. The themes of growing old and regretting life helped me gain perspective on our short lives here. I got "may you live until you die" tattoed on my arm. To remind myself that life may be meaningless but we can make our own meanings from it.

Thank you for this! When I first started listening to Lord Huron seriously, it felt like discovering an amazing treasure, a rich imaginative world I could get lost in. The albums are all truly works of art, meant to be listened to start to finish because they tell such a complex story. The Lord Huron universe has definitely become my niche obsessive interest and I know there is still so much I haven’t discovered! When I saw them live last summer, it was such a magical experience I will never forget. They are not just musicians, they are storytellers on and off stage. I try to tell everyone I can about Lord Huron because almost everyone knows The Night We Met, but almost no one knows that that song closes a powerful thematic album - it’s just a tiny piece of the larger puzzle. If everyone realized Ben Schneider’s creative genius I think they would be the most famous band in the world!

I seriously am struggling to find the words to describe how amazingly crafted and thought out your analysis is of this album. I've been an avid listener to Lord Huron for almost 6 years now, and I've never seen such an in depth video delving into the meaning behind the album. You, my friend, have created what I truly believe to be a one of a kind masterpiece. Keep making astonishing videos like this, and I'm sure you'll be a hit RU-vid channel in no time.

I actually found this album first out of all of them, I’m glad I clicked on it. I hold this album dear to my heart.

Lord Huron’s music is just beautiful. The lyrics and story-telling are amazing, and the music is gorgeous and ethereal. I would describe it as life-changing, certainly. No looking back once you’ve listened to their music. Favourite band ever. ❤

Thank you for making this! It’s beautifully done. I’d love to see more Lord Huron content!

This album is excellent from start to finish. That's a rare feat.

I want you to review other Lord Huron albums, including the upcoming one.

I saw lord Huron live in 2021 and it was a transcendent experience. I understood in that moment nothing mattered, but I can still feel everything.

I started listening to these guys a week ago and they’re genuinely all I’ve been listening to. Haven’t got tired of them yet and don’t think I will anytime soon

Americana cowboy esque at its peak. Storytelling with style. Not to mention Ben’s hair and style is fantastic.

I am so in love with this band. My favorite album is Vide Noir. But I love Long Lost OF COURSE. Everything is perfect about this band

Far and wide my favorite band of all time. I cannot wait for the next release.

Ben's philosophy regarding "What do it mean?" was exactly what I perceived when I first listened to the song. It's my absolute favorite song of theirs. Good choice of words! I felt you missed regret and growth aspects of songs like "Love me like you used to", "I lied", "Twenty Long Years" and "Your other life". Overall, a wonderful review👍

Can't express my love for this album. Probably a top ten all time for me personally.

One of the themes of this album that really struck me was Lord Huron's departure from an idealistic view of love in what I felt were traditional "love stories" in Lonesome Dreams and Strange Trails. Previously the characters in their albums embarked on quests either with the intention to return to their lover (Lonesome Dreams) or because they were looking for love along the way (Strange Trails). The loss of a lover at the end of Strange Trails is tragic, but the love itself wasn't tarnished. Vide Noir (both the album and the film) set up a similar story but in the end Buck is left to realize that, even after completing the quest that brought his life meaning, the love he thought he shared with Lee wasn't real. In this way, I feel like Vide Noir sets up a more realistic depiction of love stories that we see in Long Lost, in which partners can lie, cheat, be jealous/possessive, or fall out of love altogether. They propose getting lost instead of questing for a person or a specific goal. Long Lost forces the audience to depart from finding meaning in love and find it instead within the self.

Now do THIS with Gregory Alan Isakov. "This Empty Northern Hemisphere" or "The Weatherman" start there.

Thank you for making this!! Lord Huron is such an underrated band and its a shame they're only really known for the one song. Their music is wonderful and they story they tell is fascinating

Lord Huron so to speak 'gets it', or my perspective on life if it had a soundtrack. (Pisces thing perhaps?)

The first time I heard this album in full was when I saw Lord Huron live during their Long Lost tour. Listening to it live genuinely changed me forever. Long Lost transports me into this alluring, intricate world Lord Huron has created. "What Do It Mean" and "Long Lost" are two of the most beautiful and emotional songs I have ever listened to. The pure passion and sincerity Lord Huron's work holds is unmatched by any other artist I know, and this essay perfectly conveys this belief. I'm so thankful that this album is receiving the love it deserves!

What do it mean is one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard

Love their music so much. I have all their songs on repeat

This video was able to eloquently say what I've been trying to say for the longest time! Maybe the meaning of life is simply to *live it*, experience it, to have joy and sadness. This is my favorite album of all time. 💕💕💕

They actually saved my propuse in life

Only a video like this could truly capture the essence of an album like Long Lost! It’s pure art - both the album and your work. Thank you for this! This has been my favorite album for the past couple of years; in fact, it’s one of my all-time favorites.

One of my most favorite albums of all time. And if you dont listen to the album all at once you really ruin it.

This is one of the best videos i ever seen

Long Lost was the soundtrack for me during the time my mom was dying from cancer. I basically listened to it on repeat and became obsessed with the existential themes, especially the incredible lyrics on What Do It Mean. It's is one of the all-time concept albums, a monumental artistic achievement. Thank you for putting this together, really well done!

Finally got round to watching this and I just love it. Beauty - that's the word that comes to me when watching this - the music your writing and the video production - beauty. I'm a big fan of Lord Huron's earlier stuff so I now feel properly prepped to dive into this one great work as ever!

This album might have an interesting concept but Vide Noir, their previous album, musically speaking, was much more of a life changer for me. It came at the perfect time when I was uprooting heading to the Great lakes after 38 years in California. Something about having your life in your car when you listen to that in the desert hits different. I found this follow up to be pretty good, this video makes me want to give it a second chance and see if it can do some "changing" but it certainly going to take more than a cool concept.

There's this peace, once you learn to live with uncertainty. It's that trust, that whatever will happen you'll figure it out. So it's okay not to have meaning, it's okay to just experience things. Whatever they'll lead to you'll be fine. Not always better, but that's okay

I was literally looking for just one video which talks about the album properly. Thaks for being the one and represent it immaculately! I feel like you should've discussed the song "Love me like you used to".

As a fan of lord huron, this video is a pure banger 🫶

for me strange trail is all time fab album .

Ugh I love them so much 😫💚💚

wow, now that was a great video! keep it up man, loved your work.

This album is brilliant

Okay fine I’ll listen to Long Lost again

Why is it that people so often concieve of meaning as needing to be something large and overarching and external to one's self? Isn't the meaning that we create/find for ourselves in life good enough? I think it should be, because that's the only meaning we will ever find in life - the meaning that we create within our own lives. The people we love, the experiences we have, the lessons we learn, the causes we champion, the goals we realize or fall short of, the profound insights and mundane observations, the heights of joys and connectedness, the depths of despoair and lonliness, etc. etc..... From these we forge meaning within and for our lives. The human mind is in many ways a meaning-making machine. There is no particular overarching meaning imposed upon us from without - but that fact doesn't diminish the meaning we create from within.

❤

10/10 video. Fantastic commentary and visuals which help piece together why this band is so important to me and so many others.

I love lord huron, they are so good!!! This album is BEAUTIFIL!

For me, there's (Before )LH and (After) LH. Changed my life forever. Incredible live, an absolute joy to rock out to in the car. Every album is an experience, every song a puzzle piece to depict the journey of life. Emotionally synced to the music, forever devoted to such a gift of a band.

This band changed my life so much, and the lore is so in depth. Hell, i can barely understand whats going on in the LH discord server. I love this band so much, brought me back to who i truly am 💖

Fantastic video, I've been listening to Lord Huron since Lonesome Dreams, and I love every song and every album

Long Lost is their masterwork. No other album has spoken so viscerally to my soul since Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream.

My boy Camus always gets misrepresented… absurdism is not existentialism.

Indeed, it’s a beautiful album, but life-changing? 🤔

Thank you for this amazing video, you truly nailed it with the album's interpretation I think. Ben Schneider is a such a treasure to our Universe. May we live until we die

how they make music that sounds legitimately from the time....

DO THE REST OF THERE ALBUMS (Lonsome Dreams, Strange Trails, Vide Noir)

This Album was my companion when my lover abandoned me during the pandemic and my grandma died. It helped me mourn so much loss. Thanks for the video. I am alive today and I’m grateful

Thank you for this, been going through changes and learning to let go, what happens happens, and ive loved Lord Huron for maybe 8 years now, never does his music become old to me, its fed my soul, im so happy to have his music in my life, i truly feel it has guided me

Finally an explanation for these brilliant ideas💡 for these tunes

When I first discovered Lord Huron, his songs doesn't just get me in my feelings, but they also evoke me to think in a better perspective. To live with past memories and regrets are always the things we do as humans, but how we deal with it is something that is always in our control. Regardless of the decisions we make, we are conscious and alive, constantly moving forward with time. So through him, I figured out what to do with those memories as I used to grief for the past and now I cherish them despite how bitter it was, to leave it behind in time, to look forward in the moment and just live.

I've been waiting for someone to make a video about this album!! It's one of my favourite albums, especially its storytelling aspect. You analysed it so perfectly and made me notice things I didn't pay attention to before. Great job!!

"What do it mean" is a song I don't listen to often anymore. But it absolutely is the most important song in my life. It has given me clarity on my struggle with meaning after leaving faith and trying to figure live out all over again.

Thanks. Lord Huron is so good. Even their RU-vid channel I like to get lost in the Texan narrator character in the Whispering Pines videos leading into different versions of songs performed live.

Great Video !!!

in fact the universe is providing you answers through every moment, a person might have forgotten to aware. precisely a person is a universe.

While i dont agree with the conclusion of this existential piece, i still find it to be an amazing album. I am and have been a fan of Lord Huron for a couple years now and despite coming to different conclusions about life and meaning, i can still listen, enjoy, and think. I love their music.

I'm going to make it easy for you all.. this album is talking about me.

please do the lord huron strange trails album! my fav

Ive been listening to Lord Huron since 2016, I was 16 years old and they have been an integral part of my journey and life for many years. I mostly started loving to listen to them while driving through the mountains (i live in washington) and since then in every aspect of life. I never ever tire of their songs and still think of the deepest most beautiful parts of life while listening. I dont know any other music that makes me feel this way and i will love theirs forever 💚🤍💙🏞

Sou aqui do Brasil é conheci o Lord horon em 2021 procurando por bandas de folk e achei o som deles simplesmente incrível. Obrigado por trazer esse conteúdo valioso! Poucas pessoas conhecem a história desse grupo aqui no Brasil! 🇧🇷

Everytime i heard Long Lost album it feels nostalgic of those dark ages of covid pandemic, and it become my fav album of this band. Thank you for making this story, i wish they had more attention than just the single song

I already loved this album, but you’ve made me love and appreciate it even more. Thank you!

This guy is one of the greatest artists in history no doubt

It's a brilliant album.

This video has been on my search list since the album was released.
