I Lied - Lord Huron & Allison Ponthier - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Genre-meddling indie-rockers Lord Huron have spent over a decade carving out a unique sound that draws upon wistful folk, new age and lonesome country. Released as the fourth single from their fourth studio album Long Lost (2021), "I Lied" condenses ethereal vocals from US singer-songwriter Allison Ponthier, and swooning, quivering country into a haunting tale of emancipation. "I swore that I'd become a better man for you and I tried / I tried to change my ways and walk the line you follow / I bore a flame that burned a thousand suns for you, but it died / I told you I could never love somebody else, but I lied," sings Ben Schneider. The song, which Lord Huron and Allison Ponthier performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in May 2021, paints the picture of a husband who decides to leave his wife, however, there's a satisfying twist; "I read your letter in the morning by the lake and I cried / They were tears of joy, my chains are finally broken / I made a vow to stand beside you till the day that I die / Told you I could never live without your love, but I lied."
