Lucy Dacus - The Shell Lyrics
I'm a ghost
Walking in a boring dream
You are there
Talking and I'm not listening
I am busy doing nothing
It's a myth and now I see it clearly
You don't have to be sad to make something worth hearing
Now I'm calm and content
One more burden off my back
You don't wanna be a creator
Doesn't mean you've got nothing to say
Put down the pen, don't let it force your hand
Walking on an empty street
No name anymore
No need to call for me
I'm a long-lost hometown hero
Late to legendary past lives within me
If I had the offer to do it again
Make me invincible, invisible, or brain dead
If the body and the life were two things that we could divide
I'd deliver up my shell to be filled with somebody else
You don't wanna be a creator
Doesn't mean you've got nothing to say
Put down the pen, don't let it force your hand
You don't wanna be a leader
Doesn't mean you don't know the way
Hold your own hand, walk on without a plan

Lucy Dacus The Shell Comments
Lucy I absolutely adore you!
She has a good taste for choosing guitar. Luvv
Love Timefighter! What a track.
i love her so much, lucy dacus just touches my soul
I can't express how much I agree with you. Listening to Lucy wraps me in a timeless stream where I just exist.
The last song went straight from ears to my heart. I don't even remember any of the lyrics.
Es maravilloso el concierto 😃 lástima que no dure dos horas.
This might me the 5th time i watch this. Lucy is amazing
I think this is my very favorite version of Timefighter that I've heard. The 5% extra violence in the guitars really sets it apart.
I saw this song live and the guitars were breathtaking!
@Raw Banana I'm jealous. I'm really hoping to see them live for the first time in Chicago in October.
@Alex Stewart Did you go to see her at Park West? I saw her that night and then the next day in Madison. She and her band were amazing.
@Mauro Agreed on Timefighter. She has so many great songs but it's Timefighter that I listen to the most right now. What a jam, and the lyrics are so true.
entre el 12:50 y el 19:00 casi me lo hago todo encima
wow the violin and guitar on Body to Flame was incredibly impressive great way to hear that song for the first time
i`d love this...if it weren`t for my hatred of cymbals being splashed
theyre mixed too loudly and overpower the vocals during the louder distorted rockout passages, otherwise this was engineered really well
Overrated precious indie twaddle. The Juno soudtrack already happened. I hate the new indie. All this Courtney Barnett, Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus stuff is so bland and self conscious. Matador records is on a mission to sign every super white early twenties girl dressed in Urban Outfitters with a Fender Mustang and a composition notebook full of sappy poetry. At least Liz Phair had some attitude.
It's a tele, innit m8?
I'm always really curious to ask this when I encounter an opinion that runs completely counter to mine. What album have you listened to most this month? I promise no judgement. I'm just hoping for some insight.
lmao ok. then don't listen to it. it really is that simple!
move along insect
Julien Baker is god actually
24:47 this line
That's my favourite too.
She's so good
amazing album, so glad to finally have a live video...someone w something to say.
wow what a cute bassist
Far and away my favorite album this year. Love this!!
"Night Shift" is a fucking anthem.
Oo lawd she is so good
Fuck Pitchfork
Agreed! This shit is a snorefest!
Hahahaha. Hottest supergroup in town right now.
She's such a cutie
Thank you for making these videos!
great live, the guitarist sounds amazing
They sound amazing live, better than the albums
@Jacob Blizard Hey Jacob! Love your work with Lucy. You provide the perfect background for her voice and songs. Kudos to the rest of the band of course! Keep on rocking guys
@Ameer Chughtai Hey! the song is in g minor/B flat major. when it's just bass drums and vocals, it's g minor and b flat major chords, then when the guitars come in it goes Gm, F, Eb a couple times. the chorus is Bb, Eb, Gm, Eb, Gm, Eb, Gm, F, Eb and then the rock out section is just Gm, F, Eb, with one rogue B flat in the outro instance. There's some funny business during the first solo w chromatic passing chords that i have played so many times i don't really remember what to call them. more or less Gm, D/f#, F, C/e, Eb and replace the C/e with a d major the second time around. sorry for the rambling answer, and thanks for the kind words about the guitar playing :)
@Jacob Blizard Thank you so so so so so so much!!
@Jacob Blizard such a straightforward and humble response, how many pro touring guitarists would take the time to outline their music direct to a YouTube commenter? Great work you guys sound amazing, look fwd to seeing you live at the social in Orlando!

man this chick is garbage. so sick of these industry plants
what do you think an industry plant is? just because you don't like someone's music doesn't mean there is some conspiracy to force you to listen to them
you deserve wet socks
Industry plant? It’s not like she’s getting top tier spots at festivals.
What? Lucy is like the least corporate singer out there
lol, she’s much less of an industry plant than Phoebe Bridgers
Where is CHVRCHES' show? We want it so much❤
CHVRCHES was not part of this event.
@Matthew Allen oh sorry, i was thinking this event was Pitchfork festival, where they are.
