Lucy Dacus: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
July 29, 2016 by BOB BOILEN • For Lucy Dacus, a 21-year-old with a warm and deep voice, singing comes as naturally as talking. As an adopted child in Richmond, Va., she was raised by a piano-playing mother; now, she writes songs that can be thoughtful, playful and powerful, with tremendous arrangements from guitarist Jacob Blizard.
Dacus and Blizard have been working together since Blizard asked her to be part of a college project he was working on; now, on the strength of her current album No Burden, they've just signed to Matador Records. So consider this Tiny Desk concert a taste of the talent we'll be celebrating for years to come.
No Burden is available now:
iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/album/no-...

Set List:
"I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore"

can you imagine being such a great lyricist, vocalist and instrumentalist at 21? Lucy Dacus did THAT

You shouldn't hold age as an outlier for success or talent.

Judging by how she's tweeting in her late twenties, I actually cannot imagine this.

@@allielyke1057what does that even have to do with this?
What a perfect human being. Nothing about her is forced; not her lyrics, her singing, her stage presence, or her appearance. Everything just flows out so beautifully and in such an honest way. Gah.

I thought exactly the same thing from the first time I listened to her music. She feels so true. This happens when you have real talent and make music because you really need to express yourself.

Creep.
I Don't Want To Be Funny Anymore is a grossly underappreciated song. It really resonated with me. When the chorus and the interlude hit one after the other it was a very muted "whoa". Thank you for posting. I'll be keeping a close ear out for Lucy Dacus and Boy Genius more now.
please get her back on tiny desk to play songs off historian

I’m perpetually in love with every member of boygenius in very different ways
Lucy Dacus has the most soothing voice I've ever heard. She has the most warm and familiar music, and she is such a talented song writer... I love her music
"Honesty is like a kiss on the lips, come over here and I'll tell you how it is." GENIUS
Such a genuine gifted writer. Historian is my favorite album of 2018 thus far. Every song is a gem. Takes a few listens to really hear it all. So excited to have discovered Lucy. Night shift kills me everytime

What how that is so cool
Her voice is so gorgeous and I haven't something like it for a while. The way she is able to articulate her thoughts through her lyrics is amazing. I'm so glad I found her music through Boy Genius.
I love the line..."if not, then I'll be the biggest fan..."
I saw these guys live when they opened for Daughter and immediately bought their album!!!!! So freaking good!
Her voice really has this tender patina well, well, beyond her years and yet it's entirely timeless and if she was a siren I would drown for her ❤
her voice is so warm and ethereal it feels like a hug or like floating on a cloud
Set List: 0:05 "I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore" 3:38 "Direct Address" 7:11 "Green Eyes, Red Face" much love for Lucy Dacus
I'm spreading the word about Lucy over here in England. Fantastic.
Been watching this for 3 days straight now, I wish they’d allow more time for top tier up and coming artists like Lucy. Can’t wait to catch her on tour in a few months!
I like how she rests her hands on her guitar when she's done playing
I'm so grateful to have found her music. I never used to venture out in my music taste and I can't imagine. So talented.
They are incredibly talented - she is incredible. Some of the best talent I've seen in some time. Please keep going!
A truly beautiful soul. Every time one of her songs come on the radio I just stop and listen.
I just adore her voice. I have a squeaky first soprano voice, so I really appreciate the resonance of her low notes.
Your music captivated my soul and your appeance tucked it into a soft blanket and I knew everything was going to be okay. Absurdly adorable AND talented.
baby lucy!
Love how she folds her hands over the guitar at the end of the song.
I love love loveeee her, all her lyrics resonate with me on another level

yeah they're really good. its been a while someone wrote like this
this arpeggio version of I don't wanna be funny anymore sounds way way better than the official version
Her dynamics. The Bands dynamics. Wow just wow.
What a winning performer. Really nice. She is wise beyond her years.
I saw her live in Charlotte when they opened for daughter! I bought their CD as soon as the concert ended
love how she writes and the vocal melody, thank you Lucy!
Her voice is literally my favorite thing in the world right now
Had me clapping all alone in my room
She always looks so unbothered and for real haha, i love it
What an unexpected deep voice. Amazing !
This is really fantastic. Love her voice & phrasing.
Damn-- where the heck have *I* been ??? She's really wonderful!
I love Lucy's first album, and I'm glad to hear she got signed!
Great to hear good new voices out there, thank you Lucy and the Tiny Desk crew for making this happen.
Wow she just has such an beautiful and unique sound
Loved it. Her voice is amazing.
Can't wait to see where she goes, both times I've seen her, she's shocked and impressed me.
Lucy Dacus you are a singer. Thanks for sharing yourself with music. Keep doing it. Bless you!
I let my mind get turned inside out Just to see what the kids were laughing about And it wasn't worth understanding Something I could have gone my whole life not knowing some of my favorite Lucy lyrics
bring her back
Guitar Harmonics at 2:11 was suprisingly creative
I absolutely adore her! And I love how she commentates between the songs. Speaking forthright and with soul, a woman after my own heart
You know it's unfair that I am here and you are there. I feel short in the exchange- I show you mine you walk away. I'm wearing mine out on my sleeve, you're wearing yours where I can't see, but I'll remember your face for years to come and wonder what you thought about when you got home. Honestly is like a kiss on the lips. Come closer and I'll tell you exactly how it is. Now I'm barely breathing, I'm moving ahead, but if I see you smile, it's gonna knock me dead. I'm stiff in my tracks trying to recover from whatever drug you used to put me under. I don't believe in love at first sight. I don't believe in love at first sight. It's hard enough for me to not fall in love with every person I see. I let my mind get turned inside out just to see what the kids were laughing about. It wasn't worth understanding something I could've gone my whole life not knowing. You know what they say about curiosity. That murderer had his chokehold on me. I ran away without looking back, but every now and then I want what I can't have. I'm still thinking of a man from years ago- eyes open wide in the front row, dark features, leaning on the doorframe. I would've sold my soul to know his first name. I don't believe in love at first sight. I don't believe in love at first sight. I don't believe in love at first sight. Maybe I would if you looked at me right.
REALLY love this performance. So mellow, but she has power in her voice.
I love everything about her and this set.

Such an easy daily watch I ❤ her
