Origins
In the spring of 2010 Schneider traveled from Los Angeles to Northern Michigan. At Lake Huron, he developed songs for the first Lord Huron EP. He named the recording, Into the Sun. Upon his return to L.A., Schneider set to work putting a band together. The first to join him was his percussion-playing childhood friend Mark. Each of the band members of band hail from Michigan.
Into The Sun and Mighty
Lord Huron released two EPs in 2010, Into the Sun and Mighty. Pop & Hiss, the LA Times Music Blog, described Mighty as "full of lush acoustic guitars and Midwestern-accented harmonies as warm as a winter fireplace, but it's the Caribbean-influenced percussion that fans Lord Huron's folk sound into flame,"and Pitchfork could only classify it as "a stylistic superball, bouncing off any wall you put around it." NPR's World Cafe wrote "the band's lush harmonies are backed by a hazy whirlpool of polyrhythmic tropical drums and folk guitars."
Despite the fact that Schneider played all of the instruments on both EPs, he has gathered a band for live performances, which have also gotten positive reviews. "The totality of the experience was like being on hand for a combination drum circle, chamber performance, and Calypso street party," wrote LA Weekly.Some of the larger shows the band has performed at include Lollapalooza (2011) and Outside Lands (2011), as well as a marathon ten shows in four days at the SXSW (2011) music festival.

Lord Huron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna see where it leads
Oh, there's a mountain that no man has mounted
I'm gonna stand on the peak
Out there's a land that time don't command
Wanna be the first to arrive
No time for ponderin' why I'm-a wanderin'
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me
There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me
If you will have a say my goodbyes to me
Oh, there's an island where all things are silent
I'm gonna whistle a tune
Oh, there's a desert that size can't be measured
I'm gonna count all the dunes
Out there's a a world that calls for me, girl
Headin' out into the unknown
Well if there are strangers, and all kinds of danger
Please don't say I'm going alone
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me
There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me
Well if you want, I will say my goodbyes to me
I was a-ready to die for you, baby
Doesn't mean I'm ready to stay
What good is livin' a life you've been given
If all you do is stand in one place
I'm on a river that winds on forever
Follow 'til I get where I'm goin'
Maybe I'm headin' to die but I'm still gonna try
I guess I'm goin' alone
"Ends of the Earth" by Lord Huron is a song that speaks of adventure, wanderlust, and taking chances in life. The first stanza speaks of a river that winds on forever and a mountain that no one has ever climbed. The singer intends to follow the river to its end and climb the mountain's peak. The second stanza talks about a land without the constraints of time, and the singer wants to be the first to reach there. The chorus asks the person accompanying the singer to follow them to the ends of the earth to see a world that's meant for their eyes to see. The song's tone is optimistic and adventurous.
The song is about stepping out of one's comfort zone and taking risks in life. The lyrics ask the listener to follow them to the ends of the earth, to see things that they wouldn't usually witness, and to experience life to the fullest. The singer is willing to take on all kinds of dangers and strangers, but they don't want to do it alone. The song reminds listeners that life is short, and if all we do is stand in one place, we don't experience it fully. The chorus repeats with more urgency at the end, giving the idea that the singer has made the decision to go on this journey alone.

Would you journey with me to the edge of the world?

Please don't say I'm going alone
Please do not tell me I am taking this voyage alone
I was a-ready to die for you, baby
I was ready to perish for you, darling
Doesn't mean I'm ready to stay
However, that does not imply I am ready to remain in one place for eternity
What good is livin' a life you've been given
What is the point of living a life if you do not take advantage of the opportunities presented to you?
If all you do is stand in one place
If you do nothing but remain stagnant in one location?
I'm on a river that winds on forever
I am currently on the aforementioned river that seems to have no end
Follow 'til I get where I'm goin'
I will follow it until I reach my destination
Maybe I'm headin' to die but I'm still gonna try
It's possible that my voyage will result in my death, but I will still give it my all
I guess I'm goin' alone
Ultimately, it appears that I will be going on this journey alone
