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.
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.

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
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
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
I used to listen to this all the time many years ago this is a newer TH-cam account how does the internet know I’m falling apart today enough to show me this
can you imagine being such a great lyricist, vocalist and instrumentalist at 21? Lucy Dacus did THAT
Genius
really amazing
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?

Fun fact: if you listen to night shift while looking out the window of a car at night it’s impossible not to cry
The Shell is music goals!
literally hearing Night Shift for the first time was like. a life-changing moment
Night Shift was my gateway drug ❤
Same
SHE IS SO CUTE MY HEART IS IN COMBUSTION
Good thing it has multiple chambers
SAME!
I’m perpetually in love with every member of boygenius in very different ways
She came and preformed at my school. Pretty cool
What how that is so cool
I love the line..."if not, then I'll be the biggest fan..."
please get her back on tiny desk to play songs off historian
Elliott Spriggs yesyesyes
this
YES
Yeah, I would love to see her perform songs off of Historian. What a record...
Yes! We need that!
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 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.
Set List:
0:05 "I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore"

much love for Lucy Dacus
Her voice is literally my favorite thing in the world right now
her voice is so warm and ethereal it feels like a hug or like floating on a cloud
I saw these guys live when they opened for Daughter and immediately bought their album!!!!! So freaking good!
I just adore her voice. I have a squeaky first soprano voice, so I really appreciate the resonance of her low notes.
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!
Love how she folds her hands over the guitar at the end of the song.
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!
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.
I like how she rests her hands on her guitar when she's done playing
She always looks so unbothered and for real haha, i love it
she's so gorgeous, so is her writing, so is her voice.
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
I saw her live in Charlotte when they opened for daughter! I bought their CD as soon as the concert ended
A truly beautiful soul. Every time one of her songs come on the radio I just stop and listen.
This is really fantastic. Love her voice & phrasing.
What a winning performer. Really nice. She is wise beyond her years.
love how she writes and the vocal melody, thank you Lucy!
Her dynamics. The Bands dynamics. Wow just wow.
What an unexpected deep voice. Amazing !
Great to hear good new voices out there, thank you Lucy and the Tiny Desk crew for making this happen.
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!
Wow she just has such an beautiful and unique sound
this arpeggio version of I don't wanna be funny anymore sounds way way better than the official version
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!
Had me clapping all alone in my room
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
I absolutely adore her!
And I love how she commentates between the songs.
Speaking forthright and with soul, a woman after my own heart
Guitar Harmonics at 2:11 was suprisingly creative
You know it's unfair that I am here and you are there.

Loved it. Her voice is amazing.
REALLY love this performance. So mellow, but she has power in her voice.
Well what a nice surprise never heard of Lucy before, just starting out in the grand scheme of things. Keep going Lucy don't give up! You Are Good.
I used to listen to this all the time many years ago this is a newer TH-cam account how does the internet know I’m falling apart today enough to show me this

Weird flex, but okay
