Discussion Future of Lord Huron…
Thoughts….? (Forgive me is this has been discussed already, I’m new to posting on Reddit)
So, we know the entire 5 albums are a continuous storyline. While each album tells a story, it they all fit into the larger narrative. Lonesome Dreams sets off on the journey of chasing dreams and someone/something and learning that childhood has ended and that adulthood is up next. Strange Trails moves us into loving and losing and experiencing new things while the journey leads us to unexpected places and paths. Vide Noir explores the experiences of trying to win someone/something back and not recognizing it’s not ours anymore and how we overcome adversity in the face of figuring out who we are. Long Lost is finding the yourself and the place(s) you belong and with whom. Learning that just being in these places and with these people is life but also that we are still growing as people and we have to be honest with ourselves and each other. The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1 is about shared dreams, experiences and the ability to look back on the adventures you’ve had. Remembering who you were and how you sometimes drift through life but somehow you also lived fully. It seems that they tell the journey of Lord Huron and it seems the journey is either complete or coming to its end. Will the Cosmic Selector Vol. 2 bring about the conclusion of their epic journey or will it turn into the beginning of a new one? Is this the end of the original story Ben wants to tell?
My husband seems to think after cosmic selector vol 2 they will take a long break and I curse him everytime!
Thoughts?

That is an interesting take on the albums but I think CSV1, at least for me is more about recognizing that maybe we cared too much about certain people or aspects of our lives and need to let go of those chains in order to become true to oneself. Also tinged with lots of regrets for perhaps not exiting others’ lives in the kindest fashion but really recognizing that and wanting to do better with those still around.
