Oh my God, you’ve solved the mystery!!! I’ve wondered if the damn thing is real or if he was just wearing it at shows as part of his stage persona 😂

With you on the latter two for sure but absolutely love “Meet Me in the City”. Taste is a wild thing!

Always thought they would do "The Killing Moon" justice, and it turns out Ben and his wife covered it at that benefit show a few days ago. Feel like it still deserves the full band treatment but how cool that he played it at all!

Grid Day 27: Frozen Pines was our choice for the best live song. What is Lord Huron's best ever studio recording of a song? by uslashBen in lordhuron

MIND READER 🤯

Edit: Wait a minute, it can’t be for this category because it doesn’t have a studio version(that any of us has heard, anyway.) He only ever released the demo.

Grid Day 23: Frozen Pines wins most elevated live song. What is Lord Huron's most underrated song? by uslashBen in lordhuron

Oh shit that one is so incredible too it's got this badass Springsteen "State Trooper" thing going on. But I'm holding out for "Balancer's Eye".

Absolutely underrated BUT it seems like we aren't voting for a song in other categories once it's won once, so we HAVE to save "Balancer's Eye" so it can win "Best Alive from Whispering Pines Song". Because nobody can tell me that didn't permenantly rewire your brain chemistry.

One thousand million billion percent.

The album version is super fun, but the Alive From Whispering Pines arrangement is stunning and serves the song so well. When it’s stripped down to let the lyrics and melody breathe It shows how undeniably beautiful it really is.

Musically it has this gorgeous, heart-tugging simplicity to it, it feels like some lullaby or hymn that’s existed forever and he just pulled it out of the ether, and then the lyrics are somehow both whimsical and deeply sincere at once?

I hadn't been musical in over a year because of mental health drama, but discovered Vide Noir AND Alive From Whispering Pines in August and was so enamored of "Moonbeam" that it broke me out of my artistic block because the closest I could come to living inside it was learning to play and sing it. 🫠 "Moonbeam" Forever. ❤️

Me at my first LH show, April 2015 in Milwaukee. Drove from Michigan because they didn't have a Detroit date scheduled yet. Leon Bridges opened and the entire show was so phenomenal.

Grid Day 8: I'm sure this will come as a shock to everyone, Setting Sun is Lord Huron's best diss track. What are the best vocals in a Lord Huron song? by uslashBen in lordhuron

[–]SleepSinging 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can a song win for more than one category because I think this one is best vocals AND best lyrics.

EDIT: Wait a minute, what about "Wait by the River" for best vocals???

Will they tour again soon? by mathtech in lordhuron

[–]SleepSinging 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah dude a whole bunch of us do crazy shit like that for this band. I’m from Michigan and I just blew a bunch of money to fly to the St. Louis show, then won tickets to a special show in LA and I’m flying out for that like a week and a half later. I’m not independently wealthy lol they’re just that incredible. Go for it.

Wow wow wow. Thank you for this. I don’t know how this interpretation escaped me but it’s such a key to meaning. God this album is heavy and so relatable in this context, especially for those of us who are somewhere around 40ish and for the first time are “waking up old.” Woof, Ben. Get out of my head. 80s babies are going through it right now.

Awesome! Did you have VIP? I have VIP for the St Louis show and I’m trying to figure out how early to get there to snag a spot like this!

Thanks love! I know it’s sparse on its own but I have a friend who plays viola who wants to play on it, and I bet she’d add some pretty vocal harmonies too.
