#LordHuron #WaitByTheRiver
The Vet recommended this when my buddy died. I understand why, now. I miss you Boy.
I dedicated this song to my little furry companion when she left us also.
Don’t cry cause he’s gone just be happy he’s was born
I also found Bronte by Gotye to be helpful. I'm sorry you lost your friend
im so sorry for your loss....
Single-handedly ripped my heart out and fed it to me
Will never forget when they played this song live and Ben saying, “this song goes out to all you lonely lovers.” Absolutely gorgeous song + performance
this song really transports you somewhere. Sad and sweet at the same time...
I first heard this song live in a crowd of 20,000 plus people but for those few minutes I was all alone with this soulful heartbreaker with tears streaming down my face, unashamed. I don’t think I will ever recover from that. I don’t want to, either. Music is magic.
I will wait by the river
In the light of the moon
At the edge of the city
I will wait for you
No I can’t wait forever
Someday I’ll be dead and gone
And I won’t be forgiven
For what I’ve done
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will cry out to heaven
As it it rains down on me
I will beg for forgiveness
Get down on my knees
If I can’t change the weather
Maybe I can change your mind
If we can’t be together
What’s the point of life
Baby, I didn’t mean the things I said
I don’t honestly wish you were dead
I’m a fool, I’m just a man
If i only could hold you again
As the stars fill the river
As it flows into the sky
And the mind leaves the body
And floats higher and higher
If we can’t be together
I will leave this world behind
If I can’t touch your body
Can I touch the sky
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
James Morton I think it’s “Though I can’t wait forever” instead of “No I can’t wait forever”
thanks cutie ;)
James Morton Non i
Muito obrigado!
Thank you for the lyrics it makes it easier for me to learn this song. And, add it to my singing list
His voice sounds like what it feels like to eat your favorite food after you haven’t had it in a while
What a gifted singer and songwriter and band. They never disappoint.
This song is for all the broken hearts out there who’ve lost someone they wish they could have back 😢😭
Or just the loss of someone I’ve never had :/
Not necessarily for me I just lose her day by day…
Yes just lost someone special and it hurts so much but this song hits the ❤️
Ain't that the truth love these guys
This song is a masterpiece. It gets me everytime.
The worst part about Lord Huron is that I never know which song to show my friends when I introduce them to this band. They are all equally amazing.
I, personally, would go with The Night We Met, but I agree it's a hard choice 😅
When the Night is Over is my go to. I showed it to my boyfriend’s sister and she texted me a few days later that it was, “her new favorite song” and I almost shed a tear 🥲♥️🕊🌬🕯🌳
I start with something upbeat, "Meet me in the Woods" & "Fool for love"
Maybe a push for a newer song, but I find they tend to discover the sad songs on their own.
Heard this on the radio and couldn't get it out of my head now I'm here.
Alex TheAsianSensation Which amazing radio station do you listen to that plays Lord Huron?
San Diego has 91x which plays alternative music, I honestly would have never discovered this band if it weren't for that station.
Your picture perfectly describes your obsession with this song haha!
Same.
KTAO in Taos NM plays it
I'm falling in love with this type of music I feel high
They would drop a love song the day after Valentine’s Day.
This song gets my imagination going. Two humans from different planets in the future. The man is waiting for the woman to meet him on the river on some other beautiful world, as they are madly in love and had planned it for so long. The man had to give up and risk everything to meet her there and in the process, hurts her badly. He cannot be forgiven, but the man waits and waits for her but she never shows. The man realizes this, and in his sadness, he knows that he would rather die than be without her. He drowns himself in the river, and it carries him up into the heavens.
....good weed yer smoking by the sounds of it.......great tune from them, seen them play Glasgow on the Strange Trails tour......what a show.......
Darrin Stevens mmmm... your song interpretation gave me soulbumps. Similar to goosebumps but tied to words eliciting a beautiful and deep response. Many thanks for sharing! Be well
Haha! No weed smoking here buddy. My imagination runs wild sometimes lol.
....aye only in jest Darrin, sign of a great band that creates soundscapes in the mind, paints a picture with the music & lyrics and let yer imagination run riot, good on ye.......
wright that, just draw it out along 5 to 6 hundred pages,movie/book deal right there.
Rolling in my 97 Towncar blasting this right now.
Fuckin a calijuan I did earlier in a explorer st hope life is well 🔥
Lyrics
I will wait by the river
In the light of the moon
At the edge of the city
I will wait for you
Though I can't wait forever
Someday I'll be dead and gone
And I won't be forgiven
For what I've done
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will cry out to heaven
As it rains down on me
I will beg for forgiveness
Get down on my knees
If I can't change the weather
Maybe I can change your mind
If we can't be together
What's the point of life
Baby, I didn't mean the things I said
I don't honestly wish you were dead
I'm a fool; I'm just a man
If I only could hold you again
And the stars fill the river
As it flows into the sky
And the mind leaves the body
And floats higher and higher
If we can't be together
I will leave this world behind
If I can't touch your body
Can I touch the sky?
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river
I will wait by the river.
Taco Bell thank you
Saved my life
Thank you
Different in other way SAME and this is why music matters. We still connect through music. It helps. Makes the pain ease. I am losing to cancer and 2 rare diseases. This song is on repeat. For we should NOT fear death, I've learned it's a door to all that is beyond our most glorious imaginings. Be well!
Maria Carlomagno
I'm let down I'm not you. I would like to feel a breath of death on my skin. I'm after suicide attempt so I'm not scared of death at all,but it's other feeling
Imagining a vintage movie 😊😊😊
It has a very 50s prom vibe to me
It sounds like something straight outta Twin Peaks
You should check out the music video
I hope I never lose the person who introduced me to this song.
I swear this will be my first dance at my wedding one day! So beautiful ❤️
Damn me too❤️
Omg yes
@James beyond tragic
If we all be alive till that
Yesssss
i will wait by the river for the whole album to come out
These past two song have changed my life for the better. It made me revisit strange trails and made me understand just how masterfully crafted Lord Huron is. I don't dig top 40s because it is all the same music, repetitive and tarnished over time. It's been 6 yrs since strange trails and it isn't tarnished one bit. Lord Huron is the greatest gem I've ever found and will forever keep. It is a shame the general public has not found you yet. But they will. Music is a dying art but this just continues to revitalize it. Lord Huron if you read this, know that you are unique. You are something truly special. Music will not be the same for me when 4/20 hits. I will forever hold your albums close to me. This new one however, now that will be held the most close. Music won't be the same for me for one good reason,...... I love you too much. This album will become part of my daily routine. I will wake up and all asleep to it. I love your voice Ben. Never stop. I will never stop listening. We all will never stop supporting you.
I think every generation has good music, of course nowadays there is "less" quality music. Having said that, remember that is subjective- nothing more then opinion. I would say the 2 best "eras" of music was obviously the mid to late 60s into the early to mid 70s (basically 1965 to 1975) ....all the greats were kicking off, music was revolutionary, new genres were being created, guitars were being smashed for the first time, we had the acid rock, the jam bands, the improv/progressive rock..it was all being created new & uncharted territories. From the beatles to...led zeppelin, and pink floyd and black sabbath to the doors and the grateful dead to santana and jethro tull to the guess who and CCR, to eric clapton and the yardbirds, as well as CREAM. The rolling stones, to the who, smashing guitars to jimi hendrix setting his guitar on fire, even Aretha Franklin (despite being motown and the 50s) she was still a force to be reckon w/ in the 60s. Even country back then was "real" - the real outlaws of country, and the 70s with the big arena rock bands getting their start (Rush, Bad Company, Van Halen) even the late 70s wasn't bad into the early 80s...metal and protopunk, and of course all the goth/electronic/fusion stuff going on (The Cure, Talking Heads, Flock of Seagulls, U2, Depeche Mode, The Clash, King Crimson, Devo, among many others). And then we had the mid 80s...hair metal and pop-metal was getting big (all that pyrotechnics and masters-of-the-universe type shit...wasn't my preferred style / genre - but music trends come and go...the music itself is what matters, and what a person likes (like moods) can change. BUT some bands never cease to exist, certain albums are timeless. When you hear Eric clapton and The beatles do a 1968 rendition of "As my Guitar gently weeps" nothing compares. Or when Pink Floyd does "Pigs" or "Dogs" from Animals (1977) ....classic/creative/introspective/all those "feely feels" that good music gives.
Of course the 2nd great wave of rock came in the late 80s/turn of the decade into the 90s...even if GRUNGE was a fad/trend...theres no doubt the 90s revitalized good classic "home-down-roots" rock n roll. Pearl Jam, the power-trio that was Nirvana (cant deny the power of that band) even if its "trendy" to have a Nirvana shirt, I remember in 1991 (being 12-13 years old) WHEN they were new, when the band was just exploding onto the US and European market...when nevermind came out...you KNEW there was going to be a major shift in music...it was powerful, it was pop, it was slightly punk, the lyrics were ingenius, the music was straight ahead, the music moved you (and 25 years later) it remains timeless...something about Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, all the Seattle bands, and those "clumped" with them as well (Sonic Youth, Mudhoney, Butthole Surfers, Weezer, among many others). Then you had mid 90s...all the grunge knockoffs, the Soul Asylums, and Collective Souls, the Bush's and Days of the News, and Silverchairs..>STILL not bad music...but a bit derivative at the time...then we had the industrial revolution (at the same time Green Day & Offspring were breaking big in 94, 95, and 96 - IE my high school years) Marilyn Manson and NINE INCH NAILs (basically Trent Reznor & company) were creating something new, dreary, despair, yet powerful, and SOLID (cant deny The Downward Spiral, or BROKEN) POWERFUL albums...albums that could just as well been made in the 70s or 80s, or 2000s. Again timeless music. Even HIP HOP in the 90s was powerful...STORY tellers, not all rap / hip hop is recycled garbage, some of it (Mos Def, Talib Kweli, early Wu Tang, Gza-liquid swords, Jeru the Damaja, Nas, Rakim, ) was powerful, TOLD a story...had real emotional beats...that got you thinking, that got you uplifted & motivated...that is what GOOD music does, gives you those electrical beams down your spine. It moves, it motivates, doesn't matter if the practitioner is a black guy with baggy pants, and a "mic" or a industrial goth rocker with black makeup and nylon stockings, or some grunge tooting, pot smoking, hippie long-haired rocker with a vintage guitar. The late 90s saw "nu metal" (the rage against the machine stuff from the early 90s was returning) Metallica was changing (no longer the band they were in the mid 80s...with classics like Master of Puppets, or ...and justice for all) now we had "LOAD" and "Reload" ...still you cant deny it...but nu metal the rap/rock hybrids of STAIND, and Linkin Park, (and Linkin Park was great) then you had that vintage rock revival sound (The White Stripes, The Black Keys, The Arctic Monkeys, The Arcs, Dead Weather) and the STONER rock (dreary desert metal) "california stoner desert metal" bands like The Machine, Kyuss & of course Kyuss 2.0 version Queens of the Stone age. Then you had progressive rock like Mars Volta..psychedelic, long-jams, mind-bending music. Then you had "lo fi" a style of barely electrified introspective lyrics...like Modest Mouse, Death Cab for Cutie, and Arena "anthemic" rock like Coldplay and Muse. Of course no band has had the impact that RADIOHEAD has had (Jonny Greenwood can play like 72 instruments) and 2nd guitarist O'Brian is equally ingenius, and Thom Yorke on vocals and pianos...I mean that 5-piece band, has been together 34 years, and produced 9 studio albums over the last 30 years. They are one of the most innovative, thought-provoking, HAUNTING, electronic, yet rock, yet fusion, you cant really IDENTIFY what Radiohead is...its progressive ? its rock ? its electronic/fusion ? its all of it, its orchestral/arrangements...somewhere between early Daft Punk, and 70s Pink Floyd...."sonic exploration" is the best way I can explain it...
THAT is good music, music that doesn't just have you beating your head, but also it reverberates long after the song ends...you are thinking about it days/weeks/months (if not longer)....that is good music. Music isn't a dying art, it goes through changes, 80 shades of 1 color...it doesn't "die" pop, country, rock, hip hop, metal, classical, vintage, speed - it goes through cycles, sometimes good, sometimes bad, sure its an industry, and its about MONEY, but it can also be about art, and creativity, of course today there is more recycled, mainstream pop "trash" (but lets face it, there has always been TOP 40, or BILLBOARD HOT 100) there has always been pop, there has always been mainstream....there was crap 50 years ago, there is crap today, the big difference is, today there is ALOT MORE crap. But...that doesn't mean good music doesn't exist...this band right here Lord Huron, and Cage the Elephant, and Awol Nation, and Arcade Fire, and Silversun Pickups, and Autolux, and Klaxons, and Radiohead, and (the list goes on) are STILL crafting great songs, great singles, great albums, great concept albums, great live performances, great live/studio performances...infact some of my favorite albums are from the 1999-2007 era. Despite all the classic stuff, theres good music in EACH generation. YOU just gotta know where to look, The Shins / The Vines ? The Strokes ? The Raconteurs ? The Arcs ? 10 Ft Ganja Plant ? Johns Browns Body ? Plastic Nebraska ? I worked at a record shop nearly 8 years...and I've seen DOZENS of bands from Aerosmith to R.E.M (the best of college rock radio, IMO Radiohead and R.E.M are the 2 most innovative, boundary-pushing bands of the last 35-40 years) infact I'd go as far as to say R.E.M (with that college rock and jangle pop) and Radiohead w/ their constantly exploring new sonic territories...are the 2 most "important" bands in modern music (even though REM called it quits in 2012 the 90s & 2000s were an era of so many diff trends, and styles...I mean we even saw grunge slightly return with bands like Seether, and Three Days Grace, and Chevelle. ...so it all comes down to where you look. OR what you are looking FOR, what styles you enjoy, what genres, and what bands/musical acts, from Motown and Elvis, and early rockabilly of the 1940s and 1950s....and blues and psychedelic rock of the 60s...to arena rock, and progressive rock and arena rock of the 70s, to metal, speed, thrash, and hair metal/pop of the 80s, to the grunge of the 90s, and vintage rock revival and protopunk/fusion of the 2000s. to lo-fi and industrial of the mid 90s to the electronic/punk/pop of the early 80s, to the 2010s and pop/country. So...there are so many styles, so many genres, again not to sound redundant but you just gotta know where to look. Not everything is Katy Perry, or Lady Gaga, or Lil Wayne, or Cardi "B" and hot recycled trash. Sure that stuff exists for the mindless masses...but there is always something more...like Lord Huron....there is always something to behold, to treasure. It is true what Dick Clark said many ...many years ago...music is the soundtrack to your life.
"If we can't be together,Iwill leave this world behind"
Woah bro thats deep
Wow!...there’s a lot of deep emotion hidden in this song. Makes you want to listen over and over while you wait...
Something to cure my depression today
Red Dragon ...
Diego Espinoza 😊
in solidarity with you .... try to take it easy...
This song is literally about a girl killing herself and he wants to be with her again. What?
Not really....she only becomes a ghost.
Absolutely LOVE this, heard it this morning... It has that beautiful "throw back" sound that my Daddy liked... We play a game, I share something new with that throw back sound... He shares something old, with that sound...
I lost my Daddy, a few weeks ago..I heard this.. And wept. Partly because it's so beautiful, partly because... The game we played is over. I did share it in his memory.. Beautiful, beautiful song!
I've been trying to find this song for so long! Little did I know it was by the great Lord Huron.
Best accidental click ever
Absolutely 🙏🏼🎵✨
Welcome!!
No doubt!
Hmm 520 people did the accidental click
Happy for you
Listened to Lord Huron through plenty of active war zones. Even in the worst of times and the best of times his music calms trembling hands.
If we can’t be together what’s the point of life? Best line ever.
Some make music, some masterpieces, this is one of them❤
so much emotion in one song
Every time I listen to this I get a weird feeling, especially when he says, "if we can't be together, I will leave this world behind"
This song is amazing!
What a voice🔥🔥🔥
I’m waiting by the river for the new album
Blue Wizard Animations boiiiiiiii
1:54-2:12 is just amazing. It is performed with such emotions and it fits immaculately with the rest of the song.
This is beautiful, can’t wait for the new album
true story in my life...painful yet beautiful, gives HOPE musically... subliminal lyrics, which I LOVE💜
"If I can't change the weather maybe I can change your mind. If we can't be together.. what's the point of life?" 🥺
Underrated artist I ever meet 😃
The shear and utter hopelessness when I hear this song, it kills me every time I listen to it. I keep coming back to it, even though I know what it does to me. If you're out there somewhere, feeling like I do, I hope you're hanging on, even if it's by a thread. Peace.
can't get this song out of my head...but I love it there........so retro and my love life loves it
Oh YAASSSSSSSS, more of the band I love...
smooth as silk.. sitting here swaying with the beat!
I love how the music is evolving great work guys!
This reminds me a lot of something I just went through. I wanted to meet up with a few friends who were going to hang out. One of these friends was someone I was planning to ask on a date. I messaged and asked them to tell me when they got to the place. I waited in the parking lot for an hour without ever receiving a reply before finally getting out to check to see if anyone had come. When I got out, I saw them having a double date. I'll never forget how invisible I felt. It was raining and I was just staring through the glass window from across the street, all alone. They had completely forgotten about me.
Ugh, that sucks... But I really feel it.
I'm sorry to hear that, man, they sound like awful, selfish people.
You sound like you made it to the heavens though???
F them. You will end up better, if you have not already. You aren't forgotten.
beautiful ~
ITS ABOUT FREAKING TIME. what a gift 💙
Just beautiful, LOVE IT!
best summer night song...slow breeze of the wind under the warm moon light.
And LH does it again... uses all their gifts to bring a sound unlike any other. Best storytelling from start to finish. Thanks Ben and Co. Just got more VERY depressing news about the cancer eating me alive. We have tix to your show at Fox Theater Oakland. Not even yet another chemo round will stop me from following the Emerald Star to you. Only LOVE
Maria Carlomagno So sorry to hear that! Good luck with everything! I know that LH helped me through some troubled waters and i'm sure they will do the same for you. I went to their concert in Tilburg 2 weeks ago. It is worth every penny and every minute!
❤
Best wishes!
Come join this LH fan club. facebook.com/groups/111408359510470/
Cosmic Drifter hello my friend the Cosmic Drifter. I hope you are well! I would join the fan club but I do not have a Facebook account. I did once upon a time but my profession (CPS Director) did not lend well to Social Media. Death threats were a near constant reality. Now with terminal disease, reactivating my Facebook account would be difficult. I have great difficulty typing and seeing. Is there another medium/means for the Fan Club? It would be wonderful to be a part of it. There is not ONE thing that I do not adore from LH and the LH family. Do let me know! Only love and light... see you in the stars above!
The lyrics are so deep in this song.
Thank you god for this, good stuff right here
Precious, beautiful, marvelous!! Please, give us more songs!!... This kind of music feed my soul
Lord have mercy... this is unreal.
Absolutely beautifully perfect. Just as I was expecting.
I LOVE YOU LORD HURON! PLEASE PLEASE CONTINUE TO ENRICH ME AND MY FAMILIES’ LIVES WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS!
I am so excited to take a trip to Kansas City to see them! Thank God for venue upgrade!
Yeah! The original venue sold out in about 2 days!! I'm thinking Lord Huron underestimated their following in the Midwest! Can't wait for the show!
I love this song so much I listen to it every second I get!!!
god i love this new track, one of the few bands consistently doing amazing work, thank you
I feel like waiting for someone i don't know yet, as this someone is waiting for me. And so we are, waiting for each other, waiting by the river. The river of our tears.
Heard this at their Utrecht concert last month... already my fave song
Oh my gosh this is great.
absolutely magical
Looking forward to the new Album. I'm seeing them live in April. Should be a great show.
Beautiful song and beautiful artwork
I've felt this whole song😭

If Vide Noir is anything like Strange Trails, I'm gonna do nothing but listen to it this summer
Hope its more like Lonesome Dreams
I just love this song it’s amazing
Hear this song everyday at work & it comes off dreamy, time goes by when this comes on.. Love
When you need to get to bed, but can't stop hitting repeat.

This reminds me of all the bands with a dreamy tone that were popping up left and right back in the good old high school days , back when all you needed to do was chill , smoke bud and do homework ...

Queen Moggies come to the Fox Oakland show in June. You can help twirl me around in my wheelchair.
Love this song❤️❤️❤️💕
Lord Huron, this is somewhat eerie. You know, it's hard to write and explain what your music means to me. I found you and also made a good friend I became very close to in 2015. He passed away in November of that year. I was working at a camp where the only place I would get cell reception to talk to him was sitting on a certain part of the dock by the lake. We both grew up and loved going to the lake so we'd reminisce about it all the time. I listen to my Pandora nearly everyday, and on the days I was (or am) missing him badly, one of your songs would come on. I don't remember how the association started initially, but shortly after it stuck. On anniversary days. At the same exact moment I saw the same lyrics scrolling through Pinterest. In the Wind and She Lit a Fire specifically. Sometimes I'd just instantly start balling, but then also smile because it felt like him reaching out to me. Rivers and Roads by the Head & the Heart was another song that would play. Many of the songs talking about meeting again one day by a lake/river. So that became the image in my mind. I don't know what happens after we die. But maybe I'll find him there somehow someday. I miss him so much. It's still hard, Kyle.
Thank you, Lord Huron
He also told me once he had a dream where I was teaching him ballroom dancing on a dock with 60s era rock music playing in the background. Haha. That still makes me smile!
Aw, that's a really beautiful story!
Thank you :)
That’s great, I hope that you are able to meet him again someday.
