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 ↴
Aimless drifting in a far off place
Hurtling through the vast unknown
Staring straight into the pure, black void
Drowning in the sea of stars
Lost in a galaxy of cocktail bars
Blinded by the neon lights
I guess she's gone for good
She don't call me like I thought she would
She went west to chase her dreams
She took my money, but she didn't take me
Why go wander unknown worlds?
Stay right here and let the cosmos twirl
Blind without her source of light
I light a flame and say her name into the night
I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am
Lost in time and space
Aimless searching for a long, lost face
Haven't got a thing to lose
If I don't find her, gonna tie that noose
I quit my job and packed my car
Left in a hurry, and I've sure come far
Driving fast with no headlights
I'm wide awake, I say her name into the night
Oh, I'll find a way, I say your name into the night
I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am
I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am
I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am
I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am
The lyrics of Lost in Time and Space by Lord Huron tells a story of a man who is lost without his loved one. He is aimlessly drifting in a far-off place, hurtling through the vast unknown, staring straight into the pure, black void. He is drowning in the sea of stars, lost in a galaxy of cocktail bars and blinded by the neon lights. He lies awake thinking of her and says her name into the night. He doesn’t know who he is, where he is, or even where he is heading. He is lost in time and space, aimlessly searching for a long-lost face, and he hasn’t got a thing to lose. If he doesn't find her, he says he will tie that noose.
The man in the song quit his job and packed his car and left in a hurry. He is driving fast with no headlights, and he's sure come far. But he's still lost without her. He’s wide awake and says her name into the night. It's a sad and hopeless story of a man who has lost everything, and he doesn't even know who he is anymore. Despite the uncertainty and pain, he still believes he'll find a way and says her name into the night.
Overall, Lost in Time and Space is a song of hopelessness, heartbreak, and longing for something that was once there but is now lost. It speaks to the human experience of love and loss and the overwhelming feeling of being lost without the one you love.
Line by Line Meaning
Lost in time and space
Feeling directionless and disoriented, far from any familiar surroundings
Aimless drifting in a far off place
Moving without purpose through a distant and unfamiliar location
Hurtling through the vast unknown
Moving quickly through a vast, mysterious area
Staring straight into the pure, black void
Looking into a vast empty space, devoid of light and color
Drowning in the sea of stars
Feeling overwhelmed by the multitude of stars in the sky
Lost in a galaxy of cocktail bars
Feeling lost in a world filled with distractions and superficial pleasures
Blinded by the neon lights
Unable to see through the bright, artificial lights of the city
I lie awake and say your name into the night
Unable to sleep, thinking about someone who is no longer present
I guess she's gone for good
Coming to terms with the fact that someone has left and is not coming back
She don't call me like I thought she would
Realizing that expectations of communication have not been met
She went west to chase her dreams
Recognizing that someone has departed in search of something more fulfilling
She took my money, but she didn't take me
Feeling used and taken advantage of, but still left with a sense of self
Why go wander unknown worlds?
Questioning the purpose of exploration and risk-taking
Stay right here and let the cosmos twirl
Advocating for staying in one place and observing the natural world
Blind without her source of light
Feeling lost and without direction without the presence of a significant other
I light a flame and say her name into the night
Trying to find comfort in speaking someone's name and keeping their memory alive
Lost in time and space
Still feeling disoriented and without a clear path forward
Aimless searching for a long, lost face
Continuing to search for someone who is no longer present
Haven't got a thing to lose
Feeling as though there is nothing left to lose by continuing to search
If I don't find her, gonna tie that noose
Expressing the desperation of not knowing what else to do if the search is unsuccessful
I quit my job and packed my car
Taking drastic measures in order to try and find someone
Left in a hurry, and I've sure come far
Having left quickly and traveled a long distance in search of someone
Driving fast with no headlights
Moving quickly through the darkness without much guidance
I'm wide awake, I say her name into the night
Unable to sleep, still consumed with the search for someone
Oh, I'll find a way, I say your name into the night
Holding onto hope and determination to find someone, even if it seems impossible
I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am
Feeling lost and unsure of one's identity and surroundings
I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am
Repeating the sentiment of feeling lost and uncertain
I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am
Continuing to feel lost, without a clear sense of identity or location
I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am
Still unsure of identity and location, despite efforts to find someone or something to anchor oneself to
