The stripped-back instrumental and lonesome vocals really sell this song, making it sound both like a nostalgic song from your grandfather's radio and a song to sing around a bonfire with friends. This song is a tearful goodbye in which two lovers struggle to part. There is hope in their goodbye one reminds the other that in their mind they're always going to see them as theirs.īoundless love and an acoustic guitar dominate this song, describing both the girl the narrator is in love with and the journey he takes through mountains, deserts, forests and seas to see her again. The only way the feeling of "I Lied" can be described as is a sad relief. Both lovers are ending their dull relationship and finally saying goodbye to one another and coming to terms with their lack of love for each other, creating a sad tune for heartbreak.ĭespite the change in pace from folk-rock to progressive rock throughout the entire "Vide Noir" album, it was done well, exemplified by the final track "Emerald Star." The narrator's heartbreak of finding out that the love of his life doesn't love him anymore, combined with the dark, dramatic instrumental, makes for a great song. Mysterious in tone, "Way Out There" feels like a dark fantasy story, in which the narrator describes his attitude towards death and its inevitability as he slowly drifts away from the world and the life he once inhabited. This track takes a slightly romanticized look at regret. The narrator regrets leaving his lover, and no matter where he goes, he comes back to them, asking them to love him the way that they used to. Im the lord of the lake and I dont want to leave it. This surprisingly upbeat song tells the story of a man in love with a woman who is engaged to another, and his attempt to win her affection by fighting her fiance.

Lord Huron - The Ghost On The Shore (Letra y cancin para escuchar) - Im just a man but I know that Im damned / All the dead seem to know where I am. The Ghost On The Shore Lyrics by Lord Huron at Lyrics On Demand. Unfortunately, her fiance is a massive man who easily beats him, leaving him to die as he realizes he was destined to lose either way. Upbeat and energetic, "Hurricane" is a change in pace to a summery tune, talking about the fun of living life on the edge. The narrator describes his restlessness and his love for thrills, making it a cheerful song for the rebel in all of us. Anyways, based on the previews and other stuff, I think their next album is closer to my tastes and I look forward to checking it out.The poetic lyrics of the song take a look at existential dread, and the fear of the unknown after death, sung over a catchy combination of loud and fast guitars and drums. Honorable Mentions: Lullaby, Man Who Lives Forever, and their version of Auld Lang Syneĭecided not to rank Not Dead Yet though I really dig it, I dunno where it'll end up in my eventual rankings and I want to compare it to the rest of the album when it comes out before I make a "final" judgment.Īs is probably obvious I wasn't much a fan of Vide Noir, not that it's objectively bad, and it's cool they experimented with a different kind of sound, but it just wasn't my cup of tea - except for Lost in Time and Space, partly because it sounds closer to their previous work and because it came into my life at such a perfect time it's a scary coincidence.įor the other two main albums, I think for Lonesome Dreams the average of my rating for each song is higher, but Strange Trails is the one with more heavy hitters for me and I like its vibe more for various reasons - Fool for Love is probably one of my top favorite songs of my life and I pretty much listen to it everyday for the last few years (also came into my life at a perfect time).
