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 ↴
Once the dew has dried
I will say it to her face
"You're a conjured lie, a figment of my mind
Baby, I don't mind
Are you dead or are you alive?"
She was gone without a warning
I will paint the perfect face
I will draw her eyes with the pigment of my mind
I will trace her lines
'Cause I have traced them thousands of times
All my days are filled with mourning
All my nights are empty
I just stare out into space
Searching for her eyes in a never-ending sky
Leave me where I lie
I don't care if I live or die
I will never ever love another one the way I loved her
If I ever learn to love again
I will wait until the end
'Cause I don't know where, I don't know when
But maybe, I'm gon' see her again
I will never ever love another one the way I loved her
If I ever learn to love again
I will wait until the end
'Cause I don't know where, I don't know when
But maybe, I'm gon' see her again
I will wake her in the morning
I will wake her in the morning
The lyrics of Lord Huron's song "Never Ever" depicts a person who is deeply in love with someone who is no longer with them. The singer talks about the impending action of waking her up in the morning, but in reality, she is no longer there. The line "You're a conjured lie, a figment of my mind" indicates that the singer is still holding onto the idea of their loved one, even though they are not physically present. The lyrics convey a sense of loss and mourning, with the singer struggling to come to terms with the reality of the situation.
The line "All my days are filled with mourning, all my nights are empty" shows how the singer's life has been affected by the absence of their loved one. They are unable to move on and are constantly searching for her eyes in the endless sky. They are willing to wait until the end to love again, as they struggle with the uncertainty of not knowing when they will see her again. The song depicts a deep sense of longing and a willingness to hold onto the memory of their loved one, despite the pain it brings.
