boygenius - We’re In Love (live from the studio)

Live video of "We're In Love" featuring scenes from recording 'the record'.

lyrics:
You could absolutely break my heart.
That’s how I know that we’re in love.
I don’t need the symbol of a scar,
so put down the knife.
We’re not swapping blood.

Isn’t it enough
that we stripped down to our skin,
cold and porcelain
like bathers in a painting,
and I told you of your past lives,
every man you’ve ever been.
It wasn’t flattering
but you listened like it mattered.

I feel crazy in ways I never say.
Will you still love me if it turns out I’m insane?
I know what you’ll say
but it helps to hear you say it, anyway.

Some October, in the future,
I’ll run out of trash TV
and I’ll be feeling lonely,
so I’ll walk to karaoke,
sing the song you wrote about me,
never once checking the words.
I hope that no one sings along.
I hope that I am not a regular.

Damn, that makes me sad.
It doesn’t have to be like that.
If you rewrite your life, may I still play a part?

In the next one, will you find me?
I’ll be the boy with the pink carnation pinned to my lapel
who looks like hell and asks for help.
And if you do, I’ll know it’s you.

I can’t imagine you without
the same smile in your eyes.
There is something about you
that I will always recognize.
And if you don’t remember,
I will try to remind you
of the hummingbirds.
You know the ones.
And the baby scorpion.
And the winter lunar halo.
And the walk we took in the Redwoods.
I could go on and on and on and I will
go on and on and on until
it all comes back.

There is NO FUCKING WAY that Lucy Dacus just sang that incredibly moving song for the first time and then the last word she said before exiting the studio was "oof" 😭😭😭

[mrwellick]

Lucy Dacus has one of the voices that hits the soul entirely, her music means so much to me ❤

[cassie]

the unreleased songs, the extended verse. im gonna be sick. her voice is so angelic. the memories are like so specific yet just enough to be relatable. they make me think of my old friends i don't have anymore. i hope one day to feel this way about the people in my life.

[Mariya]

Lucy may be the most underrated well-rated artist of all time

[scarlettamelie]

seeing the early recording of this with alternative lyrics is so raw and sincere oh this is so important to me.

[ameliacurran]

“i feel crazy in ways i shouldn’t say, will you still love me if i tell you anyway” i am so normal about this (bawling right now)

[psychometryy]

we're in love has got to be one of my favorites off the record, it's just so personal and beautiful, it feels like a warm hug from a friend

[jennydomani]

boygenius is one of those bands who will walk with me throughout my life, and I am so excited about that.

[nicolleanne]

Can we talk about how Phoebe’s brother did such a great job with filming and directing this?? I love seeing the boys in such a comfortable environment. Thank you for sharing!! Happy New Year!

the record had 12 songs and the rest had 4, basically what i’m getting from this list is there are (at least) two unreleased boygenius songs from when they were recording the record and believe me i will never stop thinking about them now that i know they exist

[Mariya]

Literally the best boygenius song of all time

[skw_x]

i’m not surprised julien found this heavy i would bawl if lucy sang this to me

[StealthyMuse]

I love all the members of Boygenius's voices and songs, but I have to say, something about Lucy's voice in particular gives me this nostalgic feeling, like i'm listening to an artist from a past era reincarnated to sing once again

[itskisstime]

"there's something about you that i will always recognize" will never fail to make my heart swell jeez lucy :'))

[george.]

I swear, listening to her voice just makes me wanna ascend to another dimension or something, it's like honey being poured straight into my soul and covering me with the saddest blanket of loveliness. I love it so much

[audrey_exists]

i hope this means we’ll get a full documentary from them at some point! this is such a beautiful video, and happy new year everyone

[Barefoot_Breather]

“There’s something about you I’ll always recognize” 🥰

[luludiangelo]

the added chorus reads,

I feel crazy in ways I shouldn't say
Will you still love me if i tell you anyway?
And I know what you'll say
But it's not the thought that counts in every case

im gonna ***

[corvidrose]

"IT'S NOT THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS IN EVERY CASE" IS BREAKING ME
