Secret of Life
Lord Huron Lyrics
I sit alone in the dark, and I try to remember
The words you spoke when you summoned the Ender
You chained my life to an ancient master
Will the curse be reversed if I say it backwards?
What you crossed was a line at the edge of the void
And you can't cross back without making a choice
But then something escaped when you opened the gate
You cheated death and sealed your fate
Ooh, ooh, ooh
One, two, three, four
Put on your new dress tonight
And look to the west, the moon's in the sky
I wanna get at least that high
I wanna leave the Earth and my things behind
You told me you're never gonna die
How am I supposed to sleep through the night?
You showed me the secret of life
I can't forget that look in your eye
Been a long time gone, living out on the coast
It's a long way back from the edge of the cosmos
Truths once known never come unknown
I learned that lesson lives ago
To die for good, it must be earned
The ways of death can never be learned
And the life I've lived is only dust
The darkness comes for all of us
Put on your new dress tonight
And I look to the west, the moon's in the sky
I wanna get at least that high
Wanna leave the Earth and all things behind
You told me you're never gonna die
How am I supposed to sleep through the night?
You showed me the secret of life
I can't forget that look in your eye
La, da, da
La, da ,da

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.
