The 10-year-old song that keeps getting bigger

Cultural reporter

La Group Lord Huron’s second album was Flyed Flyed under the mainstream radar when it was released in 2015. Ten years is one of the most unexpected success stories in music.
Beyoncé and Dua Lipa could be two of the best pop stars in the world, and both of them released new albums last year, but their biggest songs in 2024 did not fit the popularity of a 10 -year -old part of Lord Huron, according to the official Billboard Global year Singles graph.
And Charli XCX may have ruled Brat Summer, but his biggest hit wasn’t as big as the night we met by Lord Huron in England last year.
(The night we meet 35. Billboard’s global graph for 2024Prayer’s 37 -year -old is above Houdini and Beyoncé’s Texas is 41 years old; And 60. UK Official Graphic Company’s year -end washingCharli’s prediction was the largest hit single in 73.)
Meanwhile, the Lord Huron song is a club that Taylor Swift is not yet available in the special track club that collects three billion Spotify.
According to music data audience Chartmetric, the videos containing the night we met had three more billion in Tiktok.
“This is incredible,” says Lord Huron front man Ben Schneider, who has made a snowball in recent years and has not shown a sign of slowing down.

It is not unusual that old songs are perennial favorites on the flow and social media (see Killers, Fleetwood Mac and Tom Odell).
What is much more rare is that it happens to a part that was not a stroke for the first time. And the night we met wasn’t close to anywhere.
Painful Ballad closed the second LP of Indie Halk Strange Trails, who was well welcomed by Lord Huron’s loyal fan base and critics, but only the US album graph.
The song is written as “a sad reflection of a relationship, perhaps the sense of regret about where it finished and where it started”.
“I remember writing this song and feeling like a very concise way to finish a record. And I remember saying that my wife thought it was really special. But years have passed and it wasn’t like a hit or anything.
“And then things just started.”

The first thing to happen was the use of Netflix Teen Drama in film music 13 reasons in 2017.
At first, Schneider was not sure whether he would allow him to be in film music, but his wife said to him: “Just do it, put a show.”
The couple was far in France at the time. The singer said, “We went for a few months and when we came back, my manager was like ‘something happening in this song’.
“I thought there would be a rapid increase and then you would disappear, but instead of falling into anything, there was this strange and unheard of long tail that he fell and slowly returned. And it just seems to continue.”
In 2018, Schneider recorded a duet version with Phoebe Bridgers because of why the scene is 13. Most of the next life rent came from his popularity in Tiktok.
Since then, he has become more popular every year and challenged musical gravity. In 2024, Spotify had almost a billion streams – 57% more than Chartmetric than the previous year.
The lyrics of the song return to the beginning of a sour relationship: “I had all of you, and then most of you / some, and now none of you / don’t take me back to the night we’ve met.”
The song was used in various tiktok memes and Cosmopolitan put it on the playlist. Sad songs to explode while feeling Hella Moody. However, it can comply with a series of emotions and situations – Molly-Mae Hague used this for film music In 2022.
“I think everyone can establish a relationship with this kind of story and add their own biography.” “This is a ship that fits the personal stories of many people. Maybe that’s why it had a permanent and slow -burning effect on people.”
The singer says that the success of the night we met came in a good moment in the group’s career, because we founded ourselves in many ways.
“We already had a very loyal fan base, so we didn’t locked up a single -stroke status by this song.
“Although we leave our other songs behind in terms of flow and everything, we continue enough not to feel that we are known for that singular moment, it’s great.”

The group really has much more than a song.
Lord Huron started in 2010 as a solo project before Schneider collected a full series.
Four Özlem, Spiritual and Musallat American ranked on Friday.
His albums shows Schneider’s talent as a storyteller, as well as a songwriter with a working thread of a story often.
Magic Jukebox
The new LP is a music box of the 1950s, which can carry people to alternative universes, Cosmic Selector Vol 1 – that the past small decisions emerged in a different way after putting them in different ways.
“I think I have grown up a little for the last few years, I thought that my own life could go or still go or might have grew up.”
“More, not with any sense of regret, but rather, the pure randomness of everything and very little, with a sense of curiosity, how different things could happen if it had gone in another direction.
“That’s why I started to think about a collection of songs representing this randomness – the Lottery of his life’s Piyango.”

However, the controls of this magic music box “caught,” he says.
“Everything is wrong label. What you think you choose can send you a completely different way, and everything is in the menu – sadness, joy, fear, love – all the ways for a life can go.”
Various characters, including an actress Kristen Stewart, are passed through this size jump, life scratch retro randomizer. Some are based on Schneider himself, others are just fabricated.
Everyone has their own sliding door moments where life can be different. For Schneider, there was a time of jazz combination in a parliament in primary school.
Orum I remember watching the bassist and ‘I could be in a group one day’ and a bulb opened in my head, or he says. “I think there are countless moments that I can choose such a thing and I can’t do, so it’s fascinating to think about it.”
In France, the moment his wife convinced him to allow him to use him 13, why was another turning point.
Schneider shot the bonus in the lottery of life with that sleeping kick. Now he hopes that his popularity will turn people to the rest of their music.
Orum I want to continue to progress and try to do new things, or he says. “And I hope something we do will have the same effect of the song.
“And I think over time, the things we already do will, I hope.”
