Album Review: Long Lost
Have you found yourself needing some peaceful music with a genre mix of folk and indie? Well, Lord Huron is the perfect band for you and they have recently released a new album! The album goes through heartbreak extensively with a lot of the songs.
“Mine Forever” goes over the feeling of heartbreak as it talks about a broken relationship. There is this feeling of sadness after the initial heartbreak. The song keeps an upper beat as it talks to show that the relationship made them happy. They long for this love, repeating the line, “In my mind, you’re mine forever,” which shows they have not gotten over the relationship. This song is perfect for those who need a song to reflect on during hard times after a relationship but need a good boost.
“Love Me Like You Used To” brings this longing for a pastime, highlighting heartbreak in another way. There is this plea for days to come back, that the singer will treat and praise them right. This song is perfect for adding to any heartbreak playlist when you just need a song to think of old times. Though it is meant for relationships, it can be held true for past connections of any kind.
The titular song, “Long Lost,” brings this idea of finding yourself after a breakup. The singer talks about exploring the forest, fields, and mountains as the person feels lost. This song opens the idea of being lost after a relationship with no idea of what to do, which many can experience during their college years. The song becomes this perfect reflection of how it can feel after a breakup and bring up the thoughts of recovering from it.
This album takes on the meaning of being lovelorn as the listener pays attention to the lyrics and beat. The songs open up the idea of other people’s experiences and how they develop. This album becomes a representation of heartbreak through the years. One great thing this album does is separate the ideas of love and heartbreak. There is this work toward getting past the pain of a failed relationship and working toward the goal of love. This is one to consider if you are looking for an album to add to any heartbreak playlist.
