#nonorthvember Day 8 - Long Lost

EY GUYS! 

Here's day 8, a short animatic made for Long Lost by Lord Huron. This song is tied to my heart, so no way I could make only one illustration for this day!

Music speaks to us in such an intimate level. Whenever I hear a song I love somewhere unexpected, the feelings I related to it hit me before I can even remember the song's name. It's like a lost piece of myself just found its way back to me.

Lord Huron has always had this power. When I first found the band in 2012, it felt as if they "spoke" of all of my voiceless longings. Of all the lonely places of the earth and its mysteries, of the unknown and whatever lies beyond. 

I'm an intense person with very specific tastes. That means I hardly ever find something to fall in love with (believe it or not, I'm worse than Martin irl). So I can't help myself from writing another love letter to this song. It truly means this much to me. 

I'm beyond excited to hear your thoughts on this! Thank you all so much for being here and for being part of this journey! You're all incredible!!!

Once again, I'm struggling to find words for this. It's short, but beautiful and so incredibly well done! I don't know how you do it. These animatics of yours are like some kind of mysterious magic to me. I think the way you describe Lord Huron's impact on you is very much the same effect your art has had on me since I discovered you five months ago. It's hard for me to explain or to even fully understand, but I feel it touches something very profound and personal, buried deep within myself. I've seen a lot of great artists over the years, but you're the first who's had this kind of effect on me.

Lord Huron! I also discovered them on a whim a few years before they became mainstream (it was either 2013 or 2014). "Lonesome Dreams" captured my heart and imagination and hasn't let go. That song, much like "Long Lost" for you, has an incredible effect on me. There's no end to this one band's talent
