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'
Nowhere the buses lay
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 world that calls for me, girl
Headin' out into the unknown
Wayfarin' 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)
Lord Huron is an American indie rock band based in Los Angeles. The band is composed of Mark Barry (drums, percussion), Miguel Briseño (bass, keyboard, theremin), Tom Renaud (guitar) and its founder, Ben Schneider (guitar, lead singer). Following some solo and self-produced EPs, the group's debut album Lonesome Dreams was released in 2012 and their fourth and most recent album Long Lost was released in May 2021.
Lord Huron combines country, western, folk rock, rock and roll, pop melodies, and the surf rock genres with soundtrack and new age influences to produce a sound described by The Wall Street Journal as having "a decidedly cinematic flair, heavy on mood and evocative imagery. Lord Huron brings to mind the high-lonesome sound of antecedents like the Band, Neil Young, My Morning Jacket and Fleet Foxes".
Ushuaia - one of the "ends of the Earth" on two counts I can think of:
1. Southernmost city in the world (yeah, yeah, I know about Puerto Williams - not a city)
2. Chronological endpoint of human expansion across the globe (final continental landmass to be reached)
Ushuaia. One of my favourite places on the planet! Great place to propose. Good tune too.
It worked out too!, She said yes...The entire plan actually was hatched around hearing this song on RP. We hadn't settled on a vacation spot, but Ushuaia was in the running. Heard this song, got inspired, and the rest of it came together!
life changing read imo

me likey
The more I hear this album, the more I like it. This cut, 'Time to Run,' 'She Lit a Fire.' Strong work.
There is also the earlier Into The Sun EP that is worth a listen.
Perfect for cold winter days.... reflecting on ... all the things that never were and should have been.
