Hi boys!!! Thank you so much for trusting me with your incredible song. It’s been an honor to get to know you all and make some great friends out of it. Congrats :)
It was a truly lovely rendition I’m lucky and to live in a time where folk music in its most beautiful form can come forth. This is a truly beautiful work.
This isn’t drunk teen heartbreak. This is a song about real love for someone you’ve made promises to and the earth shattering feeling of finally acknowledging it crashing down.
It hurts... I found the love of my life and lost her after 4 years together because...well... I lied to her. If you are lucky enough to find your girl on the first try, take my advice and give her everything you possibly can. Don't let her go.
Agreed. This song is very mature… the last verse really resonates me, as a woman who survived an abusive relationship, and I didn’t handle it well. I left him for another man. I couldn’t handle his drug habit. And I’ve never been happier… but now that my ex is sober and has apologized and started paying me back, I realize that I handled it terribly. Maybe I wasn’t strong enough.
@@OtterThanMostI feel that. From the other side, but I know. Just remember, we mostly were just trying the best we could, the only way we knew how, at least for a while…I’m glad you’re happy. I’m glad he found light and sobriety ❤️🩹❣️
Two years ago I played "The Night We Met" at my wife's funeral. After 17 loving years of marriage, I didn't know if I could still live a complete life without her. This song gives me hope of moving on in spite of what was lost.
As a piece of art, I love this song: for me it makes me realise that we keep repeating traditions passed on to us that we don’t even question if they are right for us. The next thing we commit ourselves to people who have no real aim or goal to sacrifice on their part to make us work. Then you realise, wow, I better be selfish here or I’ll be left in the dust. I must have lied then. I don’t wanna be with someone like you. I definitely don’t want to spend the rest of my life with them.
What a cathartic acknowledgement of the end of a relationship. My divorce just finalized and this song hit me like a truck. There are always the broken promises that prickle your brain from time to time and make you angry that the person you used to love couldn't live up to what they said. But every day, you let that go more and more until you are finally free for good. You'll wake up one day and look in the mirror at a person who has survived deep rejection and pain and embrace that's you. You are stronger and more capable than you gave yourself credit for and you're going to live on and on.
As a guy who messed up his marriage to woman he thought He would spend the rest of my life with and who was the most amazing woman He had ever met, yeah this song hits so close to home .
Q. How th' hell did Whispering Pines manage to attract a goddam CAT from the late Fifties? A. They didn't, they substituted one from the early Sixties.
This week couldn't get much better, Gregory Alan Isakov and The Lumineers on my release radar - now this. Also if any of you guys would like to support an independent musician who's a huge fan of Lord Huron, it would be much appreciated - it's called 'Taking Your Sweet Time' - let me know what you think of it too
As much as this song is a haunting ballad of lost love, it is a reminder to those who still have love, to value it deeply because it can all be gone tomorrow
@@tluangttt6722 it’s about the mutual acknowledgment of the relationship ending. At the end of a relationship you think about the whole relationship, the highs and the lows, and while reminiscing you realize the things you said weren’t lasting. Perhaps the recognition that you weren’t lying in the moment about the way you feel, but as time went out those promises didn’t hold. This song invokes a powerfully strong sense of nostalgia for me.
She's great, and they work really well together (would love more duets from them!) but for me it's still Ben that makes this. The way he enunciates his words to give it that extra melody and feeling (especially on phrases like 'but it died', and 'I told you I'd be coming back again for you, but I'm not/Going way out were the world will never find me') really hits deep for me. Damn romantic cowboy!
Agree. I was in the kitchen, came running to the living room (where it's playing) paused it and started from the beginning so I could sit here, with my eyes closed, head down❤️🩹
Lord Huron is one of my deepest addictions...song after song they touch your soul every damn time...no other group that I Know of can create such haunting performances...soul wrenching and seductive at the same time... This is a stunning collaboration more...PLEASE!
I think the reason why we like this so much is because it’s haunting , smooth nostalgia. The retro romanticism of Country Western tinged music is a relief to the plastic soulless digital music of today ....
@@newh9259 Check out the Honeymoon album by Lana Del Rey. Very reminiscent of 40s and 50s string and orchestral nostalgia with some of the songs having a western feel.
Dear Lord Huron, I’ve commented on your song “take me back to night we met” about my friend who committed suicide, I’ve recently got out of a 6 month relationship and I’m hurting pretty bad. I put my everything into that relationship and it’s been hard for me to cope with it but your music has been helping me and I just wanted to say thank you so much
Keep finding solace in the music and good memories and let your heart mourn, grieve, and grow. Losing a loved one to suicide is one of the toughest things to endure, but know that by keeping their memory alive and living your best life, you will be honoring their soul and keeping them close forever.
Keep the faith Jay. Can't say that everything's gonna be alright, but as a person who experienced the same pains as yours, I can say that you are a strong human being who can overcome anything. Just wanted to encourage you my buddy. God bless you 🙏🏻
Im 33. Its been the first time a song made me cry. I was dancing in the room with my 2 months years old little girl. It was pure, perfect thank you for that, Artists ❤
I swore that I'd become a better man for you and I tried I tried to change my ways and walk the line you follow I bore a flame that burned a thousand suns for you but it died I told you I could never love somebody else but I lied [Chorus: Lord Huron] Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2: Lord Huron] I told you I'd be coming back again for you but I'm not I'm going way out where the world will never find me I made a claim that I would dance until we're bones with my bride I told you I would never leave you all alone but I lied [Break: Allison Ponthier] Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh [Verse 3: Allison Ponthier, with Lord Huron] I read your letter in the morning by the lake and I cried They were tears of joy, my chains are finally broken I made a vow to stand beside you 'til the day that I die Told you I could never live without your love but I lied Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied
I see the last verse more as a humorous twist subverting the expected trope - which is why it feels happy and sad at the same time. We/the singer expect the subject of the song to be all torn up, disconsolate for her lost love, but she turns it on its head at the end and the melody and feeling of the song changes from downcast regret into optimism and bittersweet relief. And some laughs with hindsight at the cluelessness of the letter writer. Pretty black humour for a love song lol.
Such a darn good song. Fully encapsulates young love for me. Embracing someone else before knowing one's self. Offering false promises and whispering sweet nothings, emulating love stories we've absorbed from movies, television, books, music, (and for the lucky few) parents. Love is so many things. Always hard and often times unsuccessful. This is the quintessential break-up song. Well done Allison, Ben, Mark, Miguel, and Tom. BRAVO!!
@@swingersonian the fifth guy that you perhaps may be referring to is Brandon Walters (backup vocals and guitarist). He's not a permanent band member but rather just a touring member. Same goes for Misty Boyce (keyboardist and backup vocals).
that sounds like surface stuff, superficial... What matters is the subconscious dreams and the real person in there. If they can't love that, they never loved you. Most relationships that exist are all in a false pretense or societal expectation.
Lord Huron's songs have an unfamiliar effect on me - they lift me up by their dreaminess, but at the same time bring me back to reality and make me rethink my life's choices. I didn't even know that such a feeling existed - being caught up in your imagination and being down to earth at the same time...
I am 45 and have always been a HUGE FAN OF MUSIC! I just happened to scroll across this song last night, and I immediately fell in love with it! This band is INCREDIBLE!!! I will forever be a fan of LORD HURON!
Mine wasn’t perfect. And I knew it, but I pretended it was. He abused the shit out of me. He was a drug addict… we were both poison for each other. My favorite line in this song is “.. and I cried; they were tears of joy, my chains are finally broken!!”
Lyrics: I swore that I'd become a better man for you and I tried Tried to change my ways and walk the line you follow I bore a flame that burned a thousand suns for you but it died Told you I could never love somebody else but I lied Mmm, I lied Mmm, I lied I told you I'd be coming back again for you but I'm not Going way out where the world will never find me I made a claim that I would dance until we're bones with my bride Told you I would never leave you all alone but I lied (She/Her) I read your letter in the morning by the lake and I cried They were tears of joy, my chains are finally broken I made a vow to stand beside you 'til the day that I die Told you I could never live without your love but I lied Mmm, I lied Mmm, I lied Mmm, I lied Mmm, I lied Mmm, I lied Mmm, I lied
the man i thought was the love of my life turned out to be the hardest lesson of my life. This song perfectly encapsulates our story. He lied when he said he would do better and i lied when i said i would never stop loving him. 1 year later and im going on my first date since then tomorrow….. and im listening to this song thinking of how far I’ve come. the chains are finally broken. thank you Lord Huron.
Lord Huron killing the game with all of the new videos lately. The consistent frequency of the content, on top of the quality of the music, is incredibly impressive. Keep this up, your peers should be looking up to and emulating you. Add to that the running 80's dollar store Western-chic theme throughout all of of these videos and the blurred out faces...just wow. Now let's get a video in theme as a She Lit a Fire part 2 👌

This is perhaps the most beautiful song I have every heard in my entire life. It's excruciatingly sad yet absolutely beautiful. Allison has the voice of an angel, she is truly blessed.
2:36 I read the letter in the morning when I first woke up and I did cry. They then turned into tears of joy when I realized those chains holding me back were finally broken and I was free -------------- I’ve been constantly coming back to this song on a daily basis ever since last week. Sometimes you just don’t know the words to explain and validate how you’re feeling until it hits you through a song lyric. The time we had apart really changed me; I grew into the strong and confident person I needed myself to be, and yet, throughout all this time, I was still holding out until the very last moment in case things would change, and we’d pick up where we left off. I soon realized, however, that they’ve spent that time moving on with another person instead. I’ve caused them a world of pain and hurt (and they did their fair share, too), yet I fully and naively believed that time could mend anything and that our love would prevail in the end, just as they had promised me it always would. I wouldn’t like to think that any of us necessarily lied; it was more of a lack of showing up on both ends and being there for the other during moments that mattered most. Now, I’m left with these feelings I’m trying to process instead of just shoving them aside like I usually do. I don’t know if my love will ever abate, or even wilt altogether (maybe love doesn’t ever go away, but eternally freezes until time immemorial). What I do know is that my trust in faith is stronger, and I am meant to move through this life - one heavy step at a time.

Just a masterpiece, from the first line to the last, one of my all time favourite songs. Sends chills down your spin, goosebumps down your arms and tears down your face.
Just spent the last few hours listening to this gem on repeat on my apartment balcony post breakup. After copious amounts of bourbon and deliberation, decided to keep this train running for better or worse. Thank you, Lord Huron and Allison Ponthier. 👍
Been there brother, this too shall pass. Nothing I say or do will make you feel better, its going to suck for awhile, then youll wake up one day not giving a fuck, and that , believe me, is the greatest feeling in the world. Dont waste your time with someone who doesnt value how great you are, remember that. Value yourself
Keep on hanging, man. Please, I care. I really, really do. And you should know that there are others as well that will be heart-broken if you are ever to be gone. I hope you're doing well now. :')
Hits home for me personally, but only because I wish this were the case for me. I never lied about my love and devotion, but I find myself wishing it was a lie now..for then it would be exponentially easier to let go and forget. Forget that I am invisible to the woman I love. Forget that she'll never get to see and know who I am..now. Forget that she's not coming back. 🎶🎶Another Gem. Beautifully done L.H. & A.P.👏🏻💯
There actually _is_ a possibility that Allison tours with them to concerts. There are listings of names of artist and in some of them Allison (maybe) might be with the band! So let's hope!
Only 4 times in my life have I listened to a song that gave me goosebumps. That number is now 5 times. The style of Lord Huron is difficult to describe but it certainly is amazing.
2 months ago my ex of almost 2 years left me. Not without reason, and neither of us were solely responsible.... but lord huron was always an artist we listened to. and this song hit like a truck, and im happy it did. We both have our paths in life, and unfortunately they didn't line up.... and i wish her the best in life.... and anyone reading this going through a breakup or what have you, life gets better. It hurts, it sucks, it drags ya down, but everyone can make it through. I hope everyones doing alright, or feels better by this :)
There are things we can do about it, but often they are not what we want to do about it. So we stay with the pain because we know it and are afraid to move on because it could get worse.
It's a request to all the lovers of this song...pls pls pls pls don't let anyone know about this song through reels and pls let's keep this song low profile pls...lord huron songs are precious and i can see the night we met is exposed to the world which gave me heartache...so pls keep this song low profile..
NGL, I would love a cowboy like Ben! 😍I was always a sucker for the old westerns 50s -70s I grew up watching, and the romantic ideal of it all. It's sad that the love for it has sort of died off, so I feel really lucky to have discovered Lord Huron; recapturing the nostalgic dream of wide open skies, freedom, red dust, and riding your horse wherever the wind blows you.
I feel like when people listen to certain music, it puts them in such a state of peace and comfortability in which they somehow just manage to be more deep and emotional. It's a great feeling to feel so vulnerable to the greatness of songs and tunes. I dont even understand what I'm typing but maybe someday I will. But for now, I will listen in on life's greatest gift to me that has helped me escape the curses of life. Thank you
My wife and I split up after nine years on Xmas eve. While we are still friends, the hurt doesn't go away overnight. But, your music has helped me in many ways. Between Strange Trails to Long Lost, your guys music has been a great guide to healing. Thank you for making the music you do. Here's to many more albums to come!
I feel the same way. Split from my partner of a decade 3 years ago during quarantine. It was the most emotional pain ive ever been in, but it was necessary. He was an addict and the lies and chaos was excruciating. Happier now but thinking of him breaks my heart.
This is probably the most beautiful happy sad song I've ever heard. Yea its a bit of a breakup song but the message is actually a happy one, and an adult one.
I am a film maker. This is an art I can only aspire to! THEY HAVE ELAVATED MY CRAFT, w this production. God bless them for their servitude to humanity. Thank you, Creative content makers of this project! YOU ARE ARTISTs! Your art is for the ages!!
I cried during Allison’s verse. I first listened to this song freshly out of a breakup, now that I’ve found someone else this hits even harder when I think of my ex.
Thank you "YOU" for using this masterpiece. I cannot stop listening this song. It gives me goosebumps from the beginning till the very end. Lord Huron, you are the best, your "take me back to the night we met" was legendary. This song is even more emotional! Love you JOE and LOVE!!!!!
أعيش الشعور ذاته بحذافيره في كل مرة اسمعها، ليس شعور مؤلم كما كنت أظن…بل شعور بالدفء يدغدغ قلبي ويُذكّرني بضعف الإنسان أياً كان، وأن المشاعر أحياناً معقدة بشكل لا نقدر على استيعابه إني حقاً أشفق على الحياة في كل الأحياء
This song is amazing. Feels so personal. I take the perspective of someone who was very much in love with someone who broke my heart. So many lines of this song are just acknowledging, “You weren’t the end of me”.
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine such a song could be written and yet it exists. Not everyone can relate but those who can know damn well how baffling it is to even imagine the existence of such a song and how perfect it is for those who find love again when they think they’d never love again and could never replace the love they ultimately leave behind.
I kept wondering why I connected with this song even though Ive never broken up with someone. Still love and together with my husband. But I realized why now, its how I feel about my parents. I tried my hardest to please them and told them that I would never leave them, that I would take care of them till they died. But I lied. I realized late as an adult that I wasn't happy. I wasn't being true to myself. I finally rebelled against them at 35. They couldn't accept the real me. We just hurt and fought each other. So I moved far away from them. I still sometimes think about me, as a little child promising never to leave them. And the fact that I lied and it makes me feel sad sometimes. Sad it has to be this way, but I needed to be happy too.
Very touching story. I too broke free from my entire family. We just couldnt align. Im not sorry for breaking ties. We have to do what is best for our selves. Im glad for you, that you had the strength to move forward.
Hi boys!!! Thank you so much for trusting me with your incredible song. It’s been an honor to get to know you all and make some great friends out of it. Congrats :)
You were amazing!
It was a truly lovely rendition I’m lucky and to live in a time where folk music in its most beautiful form can come forth. This is a truly beautiful work.

This is the most accurate UA-cam comment I've ever seen
Existence is strange, isn't it?
Man its the slow and calming songs of Lord Huron I live for. This is also their first collaboration song and its absolutely mesmerizing.

I tried to change my ways and walk the line you follow
I bore a flame that burned a thousand suns for you but it died
I told you I could never love somebody else but I lied
[Chorus: Lord Huron]
Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied
Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2: Lord Huron]
I told you I'd be coming back again for you but I'm not
I'm going way out where the world will never find me
I made a claim that I would dance until we're bones with my bride
I told you I would never leave you all alone but I lied
[Break: Allison Ponthier]
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
[Verse 3: Allison Ponthier, with Lord Huron]
I read your letter in the morning by the lake and I cried
They were tears of joy, my chains are finally broken
I made a vow to stand beside you 'til the day that I die
Told you I could never live without your love but I lied
Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied
Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied
Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied
Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied
Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied
Mm-mm, mm-mm, I lied
How is this song so sad but yet so beautiful at the same time. Like it makes me feel good listening to it but the lyrics are so so sad😥
@@shady8084 I interpret it as a mutual break. 2 people who fell in love and are now out of love without the pressure to make each other happy anymore.
Death and rebirth. It’s sad that the relationship is over but it’s for the best and now they are freed from their shackles
I see the last verse more as a humorous twist subverting the expected trope - which is why it feels happy and sad at the same time. We/the singer expect the subject of the song to be all torn up, disconsolate for her lost love, but she turns it on its head at the end and the melody and feeling of the song changes from downcast regret into optimism and bittersweet relief. And some laughs with hindsight at the cluelessness of the letter writer. Pretty black humour for a love song lol.
@@cpf2566 I think I prefer your analysis to mine haha
Such a darn good song. Fully encapsulates young love for me. Embracing someone else before knowing one's self. Offering false promises and whispering sweet nothings, emulating love stories we've absorbed from movies, television, books, music, (and for the lucky few) parents. Love is so many things. Always hard and often times unsuccessful. This is the quintessential break-up song. Well done Allison, Ben, Mark, Miguel, and Tom. BRAVO!!
Wait, aren't there five guys in Lord Huron, or did another guy leave?
Thank you for this comment, it cleared a lot up for me
@@swingersonian the fifth guy that you perhaps may be referring to is Brandon Walters (backup vocals and guitarist). He's not a permanent band member but rather just a touring member. Same goes for Misty Boyce (keyboardist and backup vocals).
that sounds like surface stuff, superficial... What matters is the subconscious dreams and the real person in there. If they can't love that, they never loved you. Most relationships that exist are all in a false pretense or societal expectation.
Permanence doesn't often exist. But the moment is still true. Love can be lost, and still be love.
Lord Huron's songs have an unfamiliar effect on me - they lift me up by their dreaminess, but at the same time bring me back to reality and make me rethink my life's choices. I didn't even know that such a feeling existed - being caught up in your imagination and being down to earth at the same time...
Fuck’d me up w that description of LH
try listening to cigarettes after sex or mazzy star. same effect
Sounds heavenly, hurts like hell.
relationships sound good too, but hurt like hell
the feeling i get each time i listen to any lord huron song is peculiar. they're the only ones that can make me feel this way
Everyone's asleep. you're in your room. the light's are off. this song's playing. life is simple.
You're right I'm gonna try
It was 1am
2am*
Literally in a pitch black room with headphones listening to this, currently 4 am, really takes all the stress away for a while doesn’t it
With a nice down pour outside
I love/hate how honest this song is about love. It's never so simple but this song purveys it's perfectly.
I am 45 and have always been a HUGE FAN OF MUSIC! I just happened to scroll across this song last night, and I immediately fell in love with it! This band is INCREDIBLE!!! I will forever be a fan of LORD HURON!
I could listen to all their songs back to back
Have you listened to The Night We Met? omg so good
Who else is thinking of their past relationships when everything seemed perfect, and then suddenly it wasn’t. Such a real and heart breaking song.
That was me when I realised after I got out of my relationship it was toxic and was very abusive
Kinda think this about the current relationship I'm in.
@@onemoretime106 time to move on my friend, she's replaceable. She really is, but u won't know if u don't try
just got out of one
Mine wasn’t perfect. And I knew it, but I pretended it was. He abused the shit out of me. He was a drug addict… we were both poison for each other. My favorite line in this song is “.. and I cried; they were tears of joy, my chains are finally broken!!”
The melancholy of breaking a promise of love is perfectly captured here
Heard this song in ‘You’ and immediately knew it was Lord Huron 🥰🥰
same!
Never heard of him until that episode and had to immediately look this song up. Glad I did.
@@crackerjackrappr if you watched ‘13 reasons why’ he had a song in there too I think ‘the night we met’ it’s soo good 😊
The lyrics are kinda similar to the show. The 'I'd become a better man for you', joe must've repeated that like a 1000 times 😀😄
Same here
How it became the best song I've ever listened to in one night. 😢 thanks for making such a beautiful song.
Lyrics:
I swore that I'd become a better man for you and I tried
Tried to change my ways and walk the line you follow
I bore a flame that burned a thousand suns for you but it died
Told you I could never love somebody else but I lied
Mmm, I lied
Mmm, I lied
I told you I'd be coming back again for you but I'm not
Going way out where the world will never find me
I made a claim that I would dance until we're bones with my bride
Told you I would never leave you all alone but I lied
(She/Her) I read your letter in the morning by the lake and I cried
They were tears of joy, my chains are finally broken
I made a vow to stand beside you 'til the day that I die
Told you I could never live without your love but I lied
Mmm, I lied
Mmm, I lied
Mmm, I lied
Mmm, I lied
Mmm, I lied
Mmm, I lied
Thank you for this!
Thanks ❤
Thanks for the lyrics
Thank you so much❤️
Thank you for this 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
the man i thought was the love of my life turned out to be the hardest lesson of my life. This song perfectly encapsulates our story. He lied when he said he would do better and i lied when i said i would never stop loving him. 1 year later and im going on my first date since then tomorrow….. and im listening to this song thinking of how far I’ve come. the chains are finally broken. thank you Lord Huron.
I hope you find true love and always know that you are loved
Yeah mine was bas enough where it's 5 years no dating yet
Lord Huron killing the game with all of the new videos lately. The consistent frequency of the content, on top of the quality of the music, is incredibly impressive. Keep this up, your peers should be looking up to and emulating you.
Add to that the running 80's dollar store Western-chic theme throughout all of of these videos and the blurred out faces...just wow. Now let's get a video in theme as a She Lit a Fire part 2 👌
Time is causing the blur, you should look up the lore if you haven't already! They've crafted a incredible tale
@@woooooo0w Any good resources you recommend for reading up on it? I am finding buts and pieces but nothing complete and official.
@@Desert_Gump we have an official Discord just for Lord Huron, and more! Join it, and the lovely members shall explain to you everything there is to Lore Huron!

If you don't have Discord, you can just download it.
This is perhaps the most beautiful song I have every heard in my entire life. It's excruciatingly sad yet absolutely beautiful. Allison has the voice of an angel, she is truly blessed.
These guys are from another dimension, the music hits in ways I've never felt before, Bless LH
2:36 I read the letter in the morning when I first woke up and I did cry. They then turned into tears of joy when I realized those chains holding me back were finally broken and I was free
--------------
I’ve been constantly coming back to this song on a daily basis ever since last week. Sometimes you just don’t know the words to explain and validate how you’re feeling until it hits you through a song lyric. The time we had apart really changed me; I grew into the strong and confident person I needed myself to be, and yet, throughout all this time, I was still holding out until the very last moment in case things would change, and we’d pick up where we left off. I soon realized, however, that they’ve spent that time moving on with another person instead. I’ve caused them a world of pain and hurt (and they did their fair share, too), yet I fully and naively believed that time could mend anything and that our love would prevail in the end, just as they had promised me it always would. I wouldn’t like to think that any of us necessarily lied; it was more of a lack of showing up on both ends and being there for the other during moments that mattered most. Now, I’m left with these feelings I’m trying to process instead of just shoving them aside like I usually do. I don’t know if my love will ever abate, or even wilt altogether (maybe love doesn’t ever go away, but eternally freezes until time immemorial). What I do know is that my trust in faith is stronger, and I am meant to move through this life - one heavy step at a time.
LYRICS:
I swore that I'd become a better man for you and I tried
I tried to change my ways and walk the line you follow
I bore a flame that burned a thousand suns for you but it died
I told you I could never love somebody else but I lied

Mmm, I lied
I told you I'd be coming back again for you but I'm not
I'm going way out where the world will never find me
I made a claim that I would dance until we're bones with my bride
I told you I would never leave you all alone but I lied

Beautiful melody. One of the best songs I've heard for a while.
Just a masterpiece, from the first line to the last, one of my all time favourite songs. Sends chills down your spin, goosebumps down your arms and tears down your face.
Just spent the last few hours listening to this gem on repeat on my apartment balcony post breakup. After copious amounts of bourbon and deliberation, decided to keep this train running for better or worse. Thank you, Lord Huron and Allison Ponthier. 👍
Been there brother, this too shall pass. Nothing I say or do will make you feel better, its going to suck for awhile, then youll wake up one day not giving a fuck, and that , believe me, is the greatest feeling in the world. Dont waste your time with someone who doesnt value how great you are, remember that. Value yourself
I hope you’re doing okay
Keep on hanging, man. Please, I care. I really, really do. And you should know that there are others as well that will be heart-broken if you are ever to be gone. I hope you're doing well now. :')
Same it's been on repeat since last night crazy been drinking sum bourbon too
I hope you’re doing ok
This song is such a great reminder that life changes so quickly and sometimes we need to move on from the hurt. 😪❤
Hits home for me personally, but only because I wish this were the case for me. I never lied about my love and devotion, but I find myself wishing it was a lie now..for then it would be exponentially easier to let go and forget. Forget that I am invisible to the woman I love. Forget that she'll never get to see and know who I am..now. Forget that she's not coming back.
🎶🎶Another Gem. Beautifully done L.H. & A.P.👏🏻💯
Allison's voice works soo well with Lord Huron's sound. PLEASE BRING HER TO RED ROCKS COLORADO IN JUNE!!!!!!!
I was totally thinking the same thing!
@@bhamilton493 I hope we hear more with her!
There actually _is_ a possibility that Allison tours with them to concerts. There are listings of names of artist and in some of them Allison (maybe) might be with the band! So let's hope!
Oh shes touring with them and she sounds AMAZING
Only 4 times in my life have I listened to a song that gave me goosebumps. That number is now 5 times. The style of Lord Huron is difficult to describe but it certainly is amazing.
Hey Nathan, hope you're good. Do you mind telling me the other four songs that gave you goosebumps ?
2 months ago my ex of almost 2 years left me. Not without reason, and neither of us were solely responsible.... but lord huron was always an artist we listened to. and this song hit like a truck, and im happy it did. We both have our paths in life, and unfortunately they didn't line up.... and i wish her the best in life.... and anyone reading this going through a breakup or what have you, life gets better. It hurts, it sucks, it drags ya down, but everyone can make it through. I hope everyones doing alright, or feels better by this :)
Sometimes love dies and there is nothing you can do about it.
😢
There are things we can do about it, but often they are not what we want to do about it. So we stay with the pain because we know it and are afraid to move on because it could get worse.
Goddam. After hearing Long Lost and now this, I fear this is going to be a crushingly beautiful album.
Shivers, man...
@@honestmanmusic You joke but I will probably actually do this lol. Call me crazy but I still enjoy making mix CDs and listening to them in my car.
And after all, it was.... 🥲
I teared up first time I heard Long lost
His music always puts me in a good mood
LH shares yet another masterpiece with us mere mortals and I have hope for humanity once again...
It's a request to all the lovers of this song...pls pls pls pls don't let anyone know about this song through reels and pls let's keep this song low profile pls...lord huron songs are precious and i can see the night we met is exposed to the world which gave me heartache...so pls keep this song low profile..
...I came here from seeing this on tik tok, haha im so thankful to of found it though 😊
2:07 ❤ My mind, soul and heart explode at this part.
It literally iss ❤
This will be their next 'The Night We Met' in terms of popularity. Calling it now. Such a beautiful song
It'll all depend on if a popular show or movie uses it or not. That's why Lord Huron blew up in the first place
@@mmockridge1 Well, you called it lmao
@@mmockridge1 it definitely got popular because of the show "YOU"
NGL, I would love a cowboy like Ben! 😍I was always a sucker for the old westerns 50s -70s I grew up watching, and the romantic ideal of it all. It's sad that the love for it has sort of died off, so I feel really lucky to have discovered Lord Huron; recapturing the nostalgic dream of wide open skies, freedom, red dust, and riding your horse wherever the wind blows you.
I close my eyes, dream about Lord Huron coming to Mexico and the world suddenly seems a better place. 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Espero que ese día llegue pronto. Lord Huron you touch my hearth again. Love you guys💛
Señor Huron
Fri Cv~ for ur sake, I hope he does..
I feel like when people listen to certain music, it puts them in such a state of peace and comfortability in which they somehow just manage to be more deep and emotional. It's a great feeling to feel so vulnerable to the greatness of songs and tunes. I dont even understand what I'm typing but maybe someday I will. But for now, I will listen in on life's greatest gift to me that has helped me escape the curses of life. Thank you
This song came on Sirius today and I had never heard it before. I swore it had to be a 60s song. I was blown away to find out this is a newer song.
I am hooked on this song. It's beautiful, sad, haunting somewhat. Lord Huron is on another level. Never heard a bad song from them.
I have associated so many of Lord Huron's songs with major events in my life, and this one is hitting close to home...
I made a vow to stand beside you 'til the day that I die
Told you I could never live without your love but I lied
Noodle
I miss you
Just discovered this song and Allison's verse is now playing on repeat in my head. Pure ecstasy.
My brightest discovery in 2023 so far is LORD HURON.. thank you for sharing your voice with us.
Amazing how it combines sadness and hope,darkness and light..
"You" thank you for playing this track. Would have missed out on this legendary track :)
That steel at the top is so weepy and melodramatic.
In other words, it’s perfect.
My wife and I split up after nine years on Xmas eve. While we are still friends, the hurt doesn't go away overnight. But, your music has helped me in many ways. Between Strange Trails to Long Lost, your guys music has been a great guide to healing. Thank you for making the music you do. Here's to many more albums to come!
I believe you're a strong man Edward, You're going to emerge an even stronger man.
@@Allisori thank you, I appreciate the kind words!
It gets better with time Edward promise
I feel the same way. Split from my partner of a decade 3 years ago during quarantine. It was the most emotional pain ive ever been in, but it was necessary. He was an addict and the lies and chaos was excruciating. Happier now but thinking of him breaks my heart.
💪❤️
I've listened to this song several hundred times, while editing a project. I consider it to be perfect. It's simply everything that a song should be.
This is probably the most beautiful happy sad song I've ever heard. Yea its a bit of a breakup song but the message is actually a happy one, and an adult one.
I am a film maker. This is an art I can only aspire to! THEY HAVE ELAVATED MY CRAFT, w this production. God bless them for their servitude to humanity. Thank you, Creative content makers of this project! YOU ARE ARTISTs! Your art is for the ages!!
Love your songs, looks, and authenticity, You are a beautiful true self!!!!
Almost unbelievable how perfect this is. 🙏
I cried during Allison’s verse. I first listened to this song freshly out of a breakup, now that I’ve found someone else this hits even harder when I think of my ex.
Thank you "YOU" for using this masterpiece. I cannot stop listening this song. It gives me goosebumps from the beginning till the very end. Lord Huron, you are the best, your "take me back to the night we met" was legendary. This song is even more emotional! Love you JOE and LOVE!!!!!
Man, this song hits me somewhere deep in my soul & I love it.
أعيش الشعور ذاته بحذافيره في كل مرة اسمعها، ليس شعور مؤلم كما كنت أظن…بل شعور بالدفء يدغدغ قلبي ويُذكّرني بضعف الإنسان أياً كان، وأن المشاعر أحياناً معقدة بشكل لا نقدر على استيعابه
إني حقاً أشفق على الحياة في كل الأحياء
This song is amazing. Feels so personal. I take the perspective of someone who was very much in love with someone who broke my heart. So many lines of this song are just acknowledging, “You weren’t the end of me”.
this is one of my fav song and i’m so hype when this song played in YOU season 3😵💫
me too! I was like "oh my God, I know this song... is it playing on You????" And then I started smiling lol
I did, it was so shoking. It's a shame that they didn't put the part of Allison
@@alexianogueira7935 jajajaja yeeeah, I put a stupid smile for the rest of the episode
Put on* jajaj I'm learning
☹️☹️☹️yes right
No other band sounds like Lord Huron. I love the dreamy vibes of every song.
Here from You season 3 and this song is amazing! It's stuck in my mind right now
This song touches my soul
😢😢😢😢 LORD HURON'S Songs Hit Harder When u Get Older😢
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine such a song could be written and yet it exists. Not everyone can relate but those who can know damn well how baffling it is to even imagine the existence of such a song and how perfect it is for those who find love again when they think they’d never love again and could never replace the love they ultimately leave behind.
Allison was such a perfect choice for this. 😭🥺 AFWP was so incredible. Thank you so much for all the incredible things you boys put out.
Her voice just makes me want to cry 😢
How can hearing a song the first time being so much nostalgia and memories?! 😢
I kept wondering why I connected with this song even though Ive never broken up with someone. Still love and together with my husband. But I realized why now, its how I feel about my parents. I tried my hardest to please them and told them that I would never leave them, that I would take care of them till they died. But I lied. I realized late as an adult that I wasn't happy. I wasn't being true to myself. I finally rebelled against them at 35. They couldn't accept the real me. We just hurt and fought each other. So I moved far away from them. I still sometimes think about me, as a little child promising never to leave them. And the fact that I lied and it makes me feel sad sometimes. Sad it has to be this way, but I needed to be happy too.
I’m really proud of you. I hope things get easier with time and you find all the happiness you deserve ❤️
@@shaunbarrie2263 thank you
Very touching story. I too broke free from my entire family. We just couldnt align. Im not sorry for breaking ties. We have to do what is best for our selves. Im glad for you, that you had the strength to move forward.
Thanks YOU for letting us know this masterpiece.
