Lucy Dacus - "Night Shift" (Official Music Video)

[@lona7540]

You can tell this song is really personal to her since she waited 5 whole years to bring us this video.

[@gustavolpfr]

maybe it's because she was hoping that in 5 years this song would feel like a cover

In five years, I hope the songs feel like covers

[@rachaelpoole2169]

in 2021 it was five years since the breakup and she posted on instagram that the songs kinda do feel like covers!

​@@bellahadidnt.she released the song 5 years ago. And just released the music video now

[@jazz_turtle]

Absolute madlass

[@TheAelishify]

​​@@bellahadidnt. I take it as meaning that she hopes that with more time the feelings that lead to the songs she has written in the past will have diminished enough that it wont feel like she wrote them. That they'll be so completely separated from the memory of the person that she wrote them about that she can listen to them sweetly and have them make her think of the new person in her life

[@shslcatb0y931]

writing "in five years, i hope the songs feel like covers" and then waiting 5 years to drop the music video is actually diabolical shes evil

[@bugbrain5815]

HELPP

[@panghahawakan]

The way this song vividly paints the dynamics of people post-breakup: the spite you want to begrudgingly hold onto, the little graces you afford each other to move forward, the stray hope found in the aftermath. It’s insane actually

[@hellajellatv9418]

Yup. The dynamic of a post-break up couple who stay friends is tantamount to keeping Shrodinger's Elephant as a pet: is he in the room with us or is it just me?

[@zeean531]

[@ottersintuxedos4981]

Very elegantly put, I've always thought there's something really powerful about the way she belts the last part, you can really tell this is a person she doesn't want to know

[@aliviamariegrace]

lucy, julien, and phoebe are masters at writing about forgiveness “i feel no need to forgive you but i might as well.” - night shift, lucy “i don’t forgive you, but please don’t hold me to it.” - kyoto, phoebe “i’d do anything knowing you’d forgive me.” - bloodshot, julien “emily, forgive me, can we make it up as we go along?” - emily i’m sorry, boy genius they each have their own way of viewing forgiveness and voicing how they see it and it’s truly amazing 🥺

[@denji1701]

don't forget the best of it all I came prepared for absolution, if you'd only ask So I take some offense when you say, "No regrets" - cool about it, boygenius

[@girl_idiot]

the contrast of julien always asking for forgiveness is heartbreaking

[@formerfatboy90]

I get emotional every time I try to describe this song to someone. The sadness of the first half, the rising intensity of the three choruses, and that spirit of "I can't leave your space, but I can leave your time" makes this simply incredible.

[@alece]

well said !!

[@olly9685]

i know i'm not the one singing this song, but it does feel like a cover. i'm 22 now, not 17. when i first listened to historian i was in the worst state of my life and couldn't imagine lasting for the next 5 days, let alone 5 years. 5 years on i'm happy and in love and i don't want to die anymore. the kid who used to listen to this on repeat didn't think he'd ever make it out. i proved him wrong. thank you lucy.

[@canary4873]

I did not catch that at all! Insane observation. Nice!

[@subaruyagami2327]

I think it was the music video director who did it

[@francismaness585]

I really think it was an homage to Barbie as well and the flat foot/heeled foot transition. Especially with all the homage to wizard of oz, which Barbie had as well. The meanings continue to unfold with each shot. She’s so intentional it’s beautiful

[@Barry_Garza]

And then it ends as the line “why did I come here, to sit and watch you stare at your feet?” concludes, as we the noticing audience were staring at the tin man’s feet (who doesn’t have the heart to speak up).

[@Techn0Fox]

This song hits me on so many levels, and the fact the music video is being released 5 years later according to the final lyrics is just.... wow

[@homesigns]

Night Shift is a perfect song, one that still elicits a primal yell from me there at the end, every time these past 5 years. Like Lucy, a gift that never stops giving. I can't wait to see Lucy, Phoebe, & Julien this summer! 😍 💙

Lyrics [Verse 1] The first time I tasted somebody else's spit, I had a coughing fit I mistakenly called them by your name I was let down, it wasn't the same I'm doing fine, trying to derail my one-track mind Regaining my self-worth in record time But I can't help but think of your other in the bed that was mine Am I a masochist, resisting urges to punch you in the teeth? Call you a bitch and leave? Why did I come here? To sit and watch you stare at your feet? What was the plan? Absolve your guilt and shake hands? [Chorus] I feel no need to forgive, but I might as well But let me kiss your lips, so I know how it felt Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down Walk for hours in the dark, feeling all hell [Verse 2] Don't hold your breath, forget you ever saw me at my best You don't deserve what you don't respect Don't deserve what you say you love and then neglect Now bite your tongue, it's too dangerous to fall so young Take back what you said Can't lose what you never had [Chorus] I feel no need to forgive, but I might as well But let me kiss your lips, so I know how it felt Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down Walk for hours in the dark, feeling all hell [Refrain] You got a 9-to-5, so I'll take the night shift And I'll never see you again, if I can help it In five years, I hope the songs feel like covers Dedicated to new lovers [Refrain] You got a 9-to-5, so I'll take the night shift And I'll never see you again, if I can help it In five years, I hope the songs feel like covers Dedicated to new lovers [Refrain] You got a 9-to-5, so I'll take the night shift And I'll never see you again, if I can help it In five years, I hope the songs feel like covers Dedicated to new lovers
