Such a beautiful song, with such fatalistic, despairing lyrics; and how perfect is that? This band are something else, and I don't even know where the something let alone the else are at; but it feels like home. Man I'm drunk.
i'm from Bali , a small island located in Indonesia, i feel this song has to do with balinese tradisional music as the music starts , the pattern , the vibes , i knew it , i think Lord Huron got inspired from it.
You, sir, are my hero. I'm prepping for a 2015 AT hike. I just discovered this band too. Glad they helped you on your journey and here's to hoping they help me on mine!
5 of there songs were used in a movie about the AT, A Walk in the Woods. One of which, the birds are still singing, they wrote specifically for the movie and they said it was suppose to represent the awe and humility that the AT causes
Congratulations! We in Australia have little like your trail, but we do have a pilgrimage to the Kokoda track which is tough and rugged! But it is only a 6 day trip. Well done buddy! What's next!
Every song I hear by this band brings me to one specific place in my mind....dancing on a beach around a bonfire without a care in the world. Love it. This also reminds me of Paul Simon, I hate to make comparisons though.
Tell my family I had to leave I'm going away Tell my friends for me They all agree That I gotta get out of here Gonna sail that boat right into the sun Cuz everybody knows that's how it's done Now don't you cry and don't you wait If I meet my end, well that'd be my fate Gonna sail that boat right into the sun Cuz everybody knows that's how it's done Now don't you cry and don't you wait If I meet my end, well that'd be my fate Give my things away Forget my name I'm leaving today If you see me again It'll be my skeleton Cuz I won't be back alive You are as soft as a feather You are as gorgeous as ever You are exactly what I should want But I don't want you No I don't want you So I'm going Away Yeah (repeats) I won't survive one more day I wont' survive one more day (repeats) Gonna sail that boat right into the sun Cuz everybody knows that's how it's done Now don't you cry and don't you wait If I meet my end, well that'd be my fate
All their songs just make me think about stuff in my life. In this case it makes me think about a girl I know. We have that weird relationship where we both know each other really well and we both kind of like each other, but both know in our hearts it would never work out. It's a constant head against heart sort of thing. "You are as soft as a feather You are as gorgeous as ever You are exactly what I should want But I don't want you No I don't want you So I'm going Away"
Since I came to find you via Longmire, and Ends of the Earth couldn't have been more perfect for the series ender, loved it, I'm so enjoying all your other tunes.
The elephant is a strong spiritual representation in Hindu culture. If you watch the “lonesome dream tales” quite a few of the settings for them are in India. Lord Huron could also believe in Hindu cultures, seeing that Hindu manuscripts can quite clearly explain universal law. Which is basically cause and effect, but that in itself is so entropic because there can be multiple effects to one cause.
"Their music is about what you feel and it's real, not like all that mainstream shit that sounds like fucking twats screaming. This music goes into your soul, it's here for those who want to listen to something amazing." That's EXACTLY what makes it hipster. It's the opposite of mainstream. That's the point. Now you know.
I first heard this group on Leno and thought that Time To Run sounded pretty good but couldn't understant a word they were singing. Now that I have heard a few of there songs they all sound very similar and I still can't understand what the hell they are singing. Add some lyrics to the videos so I can get an idea what these songs are all about.
Sorry haha what has this got to do with hipster? Lord Huron is opposite? Their music is about what you feel and it's real, not like all that mainstream shit that sounds like fucking twats screaming. This music goes into your soul, it's here for those who want to listen to something amazing. The fact that you tease it for hipsters is offensive. Hardly anyone knows these guys for it to be hipster anyway. They are neither Indie nor hipster, they are music.
