Loading the chords for 'Lucy Dacus - "Yours and Mine" (Live at WFUV)'. Another moment like this follows a couple of tracks later with 'Next of Kin, ' in which Lucy pens the brilliant line, "I'm at peace with my death / I can go back to bed. How does the metaphor of 'The Shell' figure into that? Take a track like 'Yours & Mine, ' a song inspired by the 2015 Boston riots following the death of Freddie Gray.
You certainly get a sense of that in 'Yours and Mine', the repeated phrase "this ain't my home anymore" is quite gritty and determined. You sing about "you" when you say "you threw your books in the river/ told your mother you're a non-believer, " but you're talking about yourself? This album understands how to be patient, but never has even a bar of music without something going on- most often, guitar solos, bass lines, and vocals, and some other instruments make appearances, too.
