I've lived in the Mojave desert my whole life, and I've never heard a band's sound encompass the mystery, loneliness, and beauty of a dark desert night like Lord Huron does for me. My favorite band, ever.

[@ravram1317]

For me they take me to the forest I've been going hiking in all my life. That feeling when the forest goes quiet... And when I am snorkelling in a clear deep lake and look down but can't see the bottom. Light is just eventually consumed by the void.

[@andrew5184]

You both nailed it. You put words to something that’s difficult to name, which is also what their music does for me.

[@mortemoccasus2412]

To all people who love lord Huron, we can admit that we are proud to have found the music of such a great band. Their songs expresses how uniquely we feel. Many people say, "what, never heard of'em" can't blame them, they hadn't been conjuring ghosts from a different dimension like us. Thank you Lord Huron.

[@ryandevoe9155]

Very well said.

[@elskeletor3566]

Most people have never heard of them because the radio is owned by corporate companies who only play the same shit from the last 40 years that was top 40. Today you actually have to find good music.

[@kirstenlogan5175]

I sit alone in the dark, and I try to remember The words you spoke when you summoned the Ender You chained my life to an ancient master Will the curse be reversed if I say it backwards? What you crossed was a line at the edge of the void And you can't crawl back without making a choice But then something escaped when you opened the gate You cheated death and sealed your fate Put on your new dress tonight And look to the west, the moon's in the sky I wanna get at least that high Wanna leave the Earth and my things behind You told me you're never gonna die How am I supposed to sleep through the night? You showed me the secret of life I can't forget that look in your eye Been a long time gone, living out on the coast It's a long way back from the edge of the cosmos Truths once known never come unknown I learned that lesson lives ago To die for good, it must be earned The ways of death can never be learned And the life I've lived is only dust The darkness comes for all of us Put on your new dress tonight And I look to the west, the moon's in the sky I wanna get at least that high Wanna leave the Earth and all things behind You told me you're never gonna die How am I supposed to sleep through the night? You showed me the secret of life I can't forget that look in your eye

@@SGSG0815 Covid, more than likely. I can’t imagine these guys have a massive budget to pay for the movie and all the safety equipment. My guess is that it’s been sidelined until covid passes over

[@Jacob-rd2qx]

Well good news, someone on Reddit posted a new article about the film and the actors in it, and apparently it is being screened currently. The two reasons it was delayed was obviously covid, but also they didn't want to go fully independent (I'm assuming for financial reasons) so they've been waiting for it to get picked up by someone. But if screening goes well, im gonna guess it'll be out around spring time, early summer.

This is Great. That said, Chris Cornell Euphoria morning has done the same for me. "when I'm Down" "Disappearing One" and "Say Goodbye" are amasing and completely UNKNOWN songs. Hope this helps. Max. PS, I wrote a book before ALL of this, about this.

The edge of the void is where creation and imagination live. These guys surf the edge of the fractal of human consciousness! I dearly love the balance they have achieved. The occult nature of their lyrics mystify me. These guys are bearers of the light. They've seen the emerald beam of the human heart and their pain has been transmuted to wisdom by the black ray of the dark one. They share what they have learned in the void and people can see it! Highest blessings to the seeker.
