I think it’s great that The Night We Met became the song that Lord Huron has become known for…but in my opinion it’s not even their saddest song. That title goes to Emerald Star.
TNWM is about losing something that used to be beautiful. Someone who loved you too much. It’s full of memory. There is a sad conclusion, but a conclusion nonetheless.
While Emerald Star is loving someone so intensely, so deeply that it literally kills you, only to learn that person never loved you at all. You wasted a lifetime trying to make a person happy, all for nothing. There is no bittersweet goodbye or conclusion. Only a black void of regret.
