Maggie Rogers • "In The Living Room" • Hackney Empire | London • September 5th 2024

Maggie Rogers with Izzy Fontaine, Bryn Bliska, Junior, Jordan Rose, Brian Kesley, and Shannon Lauren Callihan performing the unreleased song "In The Living Room" at Hackney Empire, London, on the 5th of September 2024; Sound: Bob Boyle.
This was the second and final of her two "intimate shows" in London, following her European adventure as opener for Coldplay in Munich, Vienna, and Dublin. It marked the last summer gig before the second leg of the "Don't Forget Me" (arena) tour kicks off in North America in October.
Although this song didn’t make it onto the current album "Don't Forget Me", it will certainly be released as a single soon, with a music video also announced. The song premiered and was performed a few times immediately prior in Dublin, which can likely be seen as a warm-up for presenting it to her own audience in London over these two nights - the city she will always have a very special connection to (for anyone deep in the fandom and lore: Omeara veterans Dylan and Ife were present this night).

My attempt at transcribing the lyrics: You trace your steps back to the start See the clock there slowing The ones that's been The waters flow Hurts to see you going I remember late September Your silhouette on blue wallpaper In the hallway You drew a line and pulled me under But do you ever stop to wonder About me? All of the things we pull apart Let it go, it doesn't matter The seasons changed, it broke my heart But I will always remember you We were dancing in the living room I see it now Who I was back then So young and so green You loved me so you were my friend When my world felt empty I remember sentimental Sleepless nights spent off the table We're just waiting All the love I would've given Every summer neverending Just to spend all day with you All of the things we pull apart Let it go, it doesn't matter The seasons changed It broke my heart But I will always remember you We were dancing in the living room But I will always remember you We were dancing in the living room Ooooh And when you think of me Oh baby, hope it doesn't freak you out And when you're with somebody new I hope you say it out loud All of the things we pull apart Let it go, it doesn't matter The seasons changed It broke my heart But I will always remember you We were dancing in the living room But I will always remember you We were dancing in the living room Ooooh [?] All the time I will remember you Ooooh

We're in Maggie's Lilith Fair season and I, for one, am not mad about it.
