Lord Huron - The Stranger

[@M3iscool]

I don't know what the actual message of the song is, but this song makes me think about myself a couple years ago. Haunted by things of my past, full of trust issues, detaching myself from people I used to really love to hang out with, and just feeling so alone because of my fear. Eventually I met someone who took my hand and brought me back. Life has a weird way of having dramatic ups and downs.

In 2011 you were only 11 Respect those who have lived many years before you and know of life lessons. Called Respect. Raised to show respect to my Elders, always tried to learn a thing or two from them. Those that came before me and an interest in their longevity... Lessons lost on today's processed food youth.

“Who is the third who walks always beside you? When I count, there are only you and I together But when I look ahead up the white road There is always another one walking beside you Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded I do not know whether a man or a woman -But who is that on the other side of you?” -The Wasteland by TS Eliot

[@alanbarksdale6774]

See the Wikipedia article "Third Man factor" about "reported situations where an unseen presence such as a spirit provides comfort or support during traumatic experiences." T. S. Eliot refers to an example in Sir Ernest Shackleton's book _South_ (1919) about Shackleton's second expedition to Antarctica.

*It genuinely pleases me to see Lord Huron getting what they deserve. I told at least 20 people to check this band out, took 5 of my friends to see them live when they came to town in… 2013/14. They played to a crowd of a 200 max. Now I get on KZbin and their videos have 230 MILLION VIEWS? God damn. Thats great. The exact same shit happen with Tame Impala. I was a super fan in 2010 when Innerspeaker came out, told a ton of people about them, took 9 people to their show, cut to a decade later and Tame Impala is fucking huge. I don’t like either of the bands newer releases, and prefer that first 2 album zone of pure bliss. But those 2 near perfect albums are more than enough to have my life long support.*
