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-...
Amazon: www.amazon.com/No-Burden-LUCY...
Set List:
"I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore"
"Direct Address"
"Green Eyes, Red Face"
Credits:
Producers: Bob Boilen, Niki Walker; Audio Engineers: Suraya Mohamed, Josh Rogosin; Videographers: Niki Walker, Morgan McCloy, CJ Riculan; Editor: Claire Hannah Collins; PA: Marissa Lorusso; Photo: Claire Harbage/NPR.

    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.

    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.
