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

[@domenicreyes4756]

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

[@withinmotion]

Beautiful :)

[@levimason9219]

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

[@bodhi419]

100%

[@BoomRoasted3]

Best folk indie rock album in my opinion, every song is great top to bottom like you said

[@irooki9857]

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!

[@withinmotion]

Aha thank you :) I feel a bit bad for letting you wait so long! The album has been out for over 2 years after all haha.

[@baileykellogg9140]

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.

[@bodhi419]

Check out the other albums they are great too, Strange Trails is my favorite though

[@bodhi419]

Lonesome Dreams, Vide Noir and the short albums Into the Sun and Mighty

[@baileykellogg9140]

@@bodhi419 I know all of their music those are just the only two albums I own on cd at this point but I like pretty much every era, least favorite being vide noir but it’s still good

[@bodhi419]

@baileykellogg9140 agree about vide noir, I actually am listening to the new song The Comedian right now that people think will be on the new album, pretty good has a strange trails sound

[@kristyp2585]

Strange Trails is my fave, then Long Lost, They absolutely speak to my soul as well. No musician or band has ever made me feel the way I feel when I listen to them.

[@ehsanreghabi]

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.

[@withinmotion]

Thank You!

[@Attila_Dori]

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.

[@stevieuglie8329]

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.

[@withinmotion]

Amazing to read! Thank you for sharing!

[@cabnbeeschurgr]

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.

[@withinmotion]

Very nice..

[@makrams35]

I DID TOO!

[@07Potterhead]

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!

[@withinmotion]

Beautifully said :) thank you for your comment 💚

[@miguelcampos1460]

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.

[@rumo510]

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

[@goodvibes4317]

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 KZbin channel in no time.

[@withinmotion]

Reading this means the world to me. Thank you so much!

[@schylarwilliams2512]

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

[@GeoffreyJamesKing]

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.

[@withinmotion]

Amazing to read ♥️

[@TravisGunn]

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

[@Alan-rw3ez]

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

[@northeasternfly]

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

[@lucyamclarenauthor]

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. ❤

[@withinmotion]

💚🏜

[@blingblay]

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!

[@arianaarnold1226]

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. 💕💕💕

[@stupifydisturbed7657]

Life changing. I have found myself while listening to Lord Huron. Thank you so much

[@mattwhite1035]

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!

[@withinmotion]

So sorry to hear that. Glad to read you found some solace in LH's album during that time.. Thank you for your comment.

[@benodaboy]

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

[@ampatrao]

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

[@annsopirate]

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

[@mrnuke_dnd7069]

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

[@logibear2002]

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

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

[@mythicbiscuit0178]

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

[@Gui_Sieg]

This is one of the best videos i ever seen

[@withinmotion]

Wow, it means the world to read that. Thank you!

[@damelceri1009]

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

[@ThermoWrld]

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".

[@withinmotion]

Thank you!

[@Oone1991]

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.

[@withinmotion]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it 💚

[@StayCalm_DoArt123]

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.

[@shadow3142]

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

[@withinmotion]

Thank you and I agree! 💚

[@goldytwatus1674]

The Stranger has always been their best song, better that the NPCs don't find their other songs

[@BartBasquiato]

I found them high on shrooms "when the night is over" then a different time on shrooms right when the shrooms were kicking in they dropped AFWP ep 423 so I was like ima watch this & at the 1 2 1 2 3 4 the shrooms kicked in hard & I went on a journey w LH (423 helped me get over my x the lost of my dad & other mental problems) then I bought their blanket w some merch & AFWP DVD "Ghost on the shore" & "when the night is over" craziest DMT trips expirence listening to them songs.. LH only artist that has made me cry

[@Mystifrost]

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

[@withinmotion]

So sorry to hear that.. Thank you for your comment 💚

[@stephenduffett8340]

Its amazing to me a child of the sixties to find what i long lost was found in the lp long lost thank you to lord huron for restoring my faith in music as a true art form.

[@danaelee5121]

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 💚🤍💙🏞

[@withinmotion]

Beautiful 💚

[@mal3762]

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.

[@keithsprowl1097]

This album is brilliant

[@hazenewman3558]

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

[@Kiera065]

[@domenicreyes4756]

Okay fine I’ll listen to Long Lost again

[@Kara-so7gf]

"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.

[@joaomafra587]

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

[@gatgatgatgat2839]

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

[@Kara-so7gf]

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

[@greendaleforever]

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.

[@MadlyMesozoic]

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

[@withinmotion]

Thank you!

[@nicholasrighi6923]

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.

[@matttarry8847]

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

[@withinmotion]

Thank you!! I hope the video will help in more people discovering Lord Huron 🙂

[@friskybriskyy3997]

I'm so glad I found this channel.

[@withinmotion]

[@tundrabee119]

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.

[@MichaelKingVids]

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

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 have always loved the story telling part of Shneider's songwriting. The world has moved on to rap and trap and these kind of music have a really limited audience so it's always great to see chatter about lord Huron.
