How to Practice The Night We Met

Lord Huron's 'The Night We Met' became one of the most-streamed indie-folk songs of the late 2010s thanks to its placement in '13 Reasons Why.' The simple chord progression, the haunting melody, and the regretful lyric have made it a cornerstone of indie-folk repertoire and acoustic open mics.
