Night Shift - Lyrics:
The first time I tasted somebody else’s spit, I had a coughing fit.
I mistakenly called them by your name.
I was let down it wasn’t the same.
I’m doing fine, trying to derail my one track mind,
regaining my self-worth in record time,
but I can’t help but think of you other in the bed that was mine.
Am I a masochist, resisting urges to punch you in the teeth, call you a bitch and leave?
Why did I come here? To sit and watch you stare at your feet?
What was the plan? Absolve your guilt and shake hands?
I feel no need to forgive but I might as well,
but let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt.
Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down.
Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell.
Don’t hold your breath. Forget you ever saw me at my best.
You don’t deserve what you don’t respect.
Don’t deserve what you say you love and then neglect.
Now bite your tongue. It’s too dangerous to fall so young.
Take back what you said.
Can’t lose what you never had.
I feel no need to forgive but I might as well,
but let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt.
Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down.
Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell.
You got a 9 to 5, so I’ll take the night shift
and I’ll never see you again if I can help it.
In five years I hope the songs feel like covers,
dedicated to new lovers.

"In five years I hope the songs feel like covers
Dedicated to new lovers"
Happy five years to this song :)
Happy 5 years!
you either listen to this song for 30 seconds or 30 times in a loop.. there is no in-between..
I realize Im quite off topic but does anyone know of a good place to watch newly released tv shows online ?
Brodie you’re 100% in the wrong place.
@@aaronpatrick4190 It's actually really funny you decided to come here. Sadly, Aaron and I just don't know where you should go
@@brodierussell74 soap2day but u didnt hear it from me
been looping it all day
When she and her guitar starts screaming, it's like ignition of a tower of matches that has been quietly piled up for a long, long time
Why did this comment give me chills
Nice Alice, perfect description of the emotion
This comment perfectly describes how I feel 3:26 onwards 👌🖤
What a beautiful way to put it
we need the remix to ignition
found this song in a mitski spotify radio and it blew my mind ... ive had the song on repeat everyday since
omg bro same
literally just bought historian
Fun fact I went weeks without crying, i was numb for that whole time. Then I lay down and listened to this song for the first time and jesus I’ve never cried that hard.
This song brings out real emotions
I haven’t been crying since January this year. Something happened that makes me hate myself when I cry, punish myself when I shed a little tears. I’m feeling numb at this moment, I forgot how to feel really sad and happy at the same time.
@@MsAkbar14 uch im really sorry you feel that way. You aren’t bad for crying, it’s a natural thing and all people do, when you need to cry you cry. I appreciate you, I promise it is okay to cry and please try to let yourself, you deserve to feel stuff you know. I hope things get better for you
That's catharsis!!!
I didn’t think i could ever cry over my last relationship again then i found this song and it reminded me of her.
I love the moment when the guitar fuzz kick in. It takes the song from 90's coffeehouse music to 90's indie rock, a much needed shift.
DevilMan1977 it may be one of the best. As good as the distortion chi-Chung in Creep.
a much needed night shift could you say?
the vocal scream sounds like Muse at the end
This sounds like breaking up and being stuck living together until your lease is up. Everything might be sweet and cordial. But you need to get your time away from them.
this is oddly specific
@@yakinjaleta7076 happens pretty often though. I would rather say that it is oddly relatable
This.
I know I'm a year late but god did I feel this comment like 10x more than I wish anyone ever will.
@@jabariweathers309 Same.
The guitar at the end sounds like someone actually screaming. So beautiful
So true
Also sound like flames
i'm pretty sure that actually is her voice (but heavily filtered), in live performances she sings there.
@@NishantSarkarits her actually, the part when se goes like “oooh oh ooh ooh ooh oohooh AAAAAAH…”
My brother played this song for me in my most abusive relationship, not knowing it was my most abusive relationship.
Years later it just reminds me of my brother and I love my brother so much.
i hope you’re doing well sophia
That’s a good brother
I’m hope I can make my sister proud like that one day
Yeah I just cried a little on the bus reading this. Wish u and your brother every good thing there is
“you don’t deserve what you say you love and then neglect” wow. ouch.
i love how this feels like such a story, like there's three mini songs in this one masterpiece that really take you through the feelings of a ruined relationship. it's like those poems written in sets that are all the same but just a different perspective of the subject, but more lyrical and set to rocking guitar lol
I have listened to this song at least 15 times in the last couple of days. I love how it builds to something. So many songs are so static.
Beautifully put
If you like music that evolves and builds up to something throughout a song, you might like:
Wiretree
Family Crest
Dirt Poor Robins
HelloGoodbye
Two Door Cinema Club
Coyote Theory
The Modern Electric
Lucy also kinda reminds me of Julia Nunes.
I'd say Wiretree is one of the best, at least among these, at building, and evolving beautifully throughout a song 👌🏼
you should listen to Mitski's Bury Me At Makeout Creek
me too
Mono and other post-rock bands might interest you just as well. More cinematic but really nice and cathartic.
I'll never forget first hearing this song on my drive back home after graduating college. I had just said goodbye to my friend-with-benefits, and I think I knew deep down I would never see him again. Or at least if I did it would never be the same. So many emotions.
i’m literally in the same situation right now lol
@@blvvitch I'm sorry. It sucks.
another college student in this situation here glad to know I’m not alone
i felt this when i moved away from my ex which caused the breakup. It didn’t really hit me until i listened to this song i felt so guilty for moving, this song really is emotional
this song is a journey
TRUE. SO TRUE!
Months after a break up this still hits every nerve.
In the midst of one now and this song is almost overwhelming
same :/
Stay strong
Consider yourself lucky. I’m an incel who would give anything to experience the regular tumult of emotions that regular people who are able to form relationships do. Instead I live in this state of constant emotional numbness.
@@chiefchimp4377 it’ll get better
he showed me this song, and it’s always been my favorite. i made a mistake and he left, it was a valid reaction. i miss him but i don’t expect him to come back. but i still have part of him in this song.
What was the mistake
Refreshingly bitter.
Like beer.
I wish that was my nickname
@@davenotdoug8394 well said doug
@@annevanity3922 Thanks Annie. I like red wine too.
whats up i got chills around 5:50 when those high notes came out
what power, what control, what raw emotion
Read this, looked up, 5:30, got chills.
Music really does move people.
First exposure to Lucy Dacus was "I don't wanna be funny anymore". That was a revelatory experience, and with each successive song I've just been more and more impressed. I love "Night Shift" in particular. Classic break-up song. Puts into words better than I ever could EXACTLY how I feel about my ex. This song, "Cold Apartment" by Vagabon and "I'm a Mess" by Bebe Rexha have been like my go-to songs when I think about him... I'm such a basketcase, getting choked up just listening to this song as I type this (lol... goddamn breaking up)
Hey, great comment, BaB! Subjective reviews where someone tells *everyone* the song is so good for them, and those disagree are dim - totally suck. Subjective reviews where someone says the song is so good for *themselves*, and why - can be great to read. Your review is lovely! :-D
that was really cute to read. hope you’re better by now :)
Is it just me or I can't stop listening to this song. I CAN'T STOP!!!
same here! just cannot
Me too.. These memories taste like salt.
same
Let's dedicate the comments to new lovers.
😂😂😂😂
In five years
in just 5 years ...
Shut up 🙄🤣 I'm happily in a loving relationship for the first time in my life after a few unfortunate first disasters lol
Two years more until this song is dedicated to new lovers.
it is now
[Verse 1]
The first time I tasted somebody else’s spit, I had a coughing fit
I mistakenly called them by your name
I was let down, it wasn’t the same
I’m doing fine, trying to derail my one track mind
Regaining my self-worth in record time
But I can’t help but think of your other in the bed that was mine
Am I a masochist, resisting urges to punch you in the teeth
Call you a bitch and leave?
Why did I come here? To sit and watch you stare at your feet?
What was the plan? Absolve your guilt and shake hands?
[Chorus]
I feel no need to forgive but I might as well
But let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt
Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down
Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell
[Verse 2]
Don’t hold your breath, forget you ever saw me at my best
You don’t deserve what you don’t respect
Don’t deserve what you say you love and then neglect
Now bite your tongue, it’s too dangerous to fall so young
Take back what you said
Can’t lose what you never had
[Chorus]
I feel no need to forgive but I might as well
But let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt
Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down
Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell
[Refrain]
You got a 9 to 5, so I’ll take the night shift
And I’ll never see you again if I can help it
In five years I hope the songs feel like covers
Dedicated to new lovers
[Refrain]
You got a 9 to 5, so I’ll take the night shift
And I’ll never see you again if I can help it
In five years I hope the songs feel like covers

And I’ll never see you again if I can help it

I just discovered this song on Spotify...Didn't take long to fall in love with it. Love the story and structure of the song and...oh, that crescendo!
According to her instagram, today is the day of her breakup. 5 years ago. Neat to see the closure and that she's doing fine.
I’ve been listening to this on a loop for 3 hours and still get goosebumps every time. This song is making me feel so much better about my recently ended relationship and it makes it feel like I will get through it all. I’m just so in love with this song
Going through a breakup of 4 years, listening to this, makes me feel like I can get through it.
WHY IS THIS SO UNDERRATED?
Panlert Bent Because if everyone starts listening she's gonna become very well known and convert to the cult of mainstream.
Cuz if it wasn't it wouldn't be so good and uniquely fresh.
Busy Phillips's Insta-Story brought me here! Just sublime perfection!!! I'm blown away in every beautiful way!
cos everyone's busy listening to Post Malone and Cardi B and horseshit like that
People are dumb.
Holy shit. This was reviewed on NPR as the dude’s favorite song of 2018 yesterday. That’s how I found out about it. Glad I did!! Such a powerful song. I love it!
I heard it on NPR yesterday as well during one of my deliveries.
Crazy small world.
Same here...heard NPR talking about best songs of year during work delivery.
Looked her up here on a whim, idk if it was power of persuasion but tune grew on me and stuck in my head.bought it on iTunes day later.
Literally on my way to work, they played it on NPR so I immediately looked it up and I love it
I wish i could write like that n convey my feelings and pain in a way that sounds so good... Shes incredible...bravo lucy...bravo
she did THAT
found this song on spotify 2 weeks ago and since then its been on repeat every single day
this song is fucking insane, i felt more emotions listening to it than i felt in ages
the way this song is like "you've got a nine to five so ill take THE NIGHT SHIFT" is touching
That sweet voice and THAT distorted guitar work perfectly with your lyrics.... WOW !
It's just incredible
I am addicted to this song.
So glad its one of The Rolling Stones best 2018 songs. ❤
I never had a breakup but I sing this everyday like I've written it and that's powerful
The crescendo starting at 5:37 reminds me a lot of Brandi Carlile’s “The Story”.
Both songs are so beautifully poignant.
OMG YEAH ME TOO! HEARD THAT FROM GREYS ANATOMY AND I AM SO GLAD I HEARD THIS SONG
This song feels like being slowly stabbed by butter knife through the heart yet u end up feeling better in the end. #quarantineplaylist
thats exactly what it is
Hey bae just checking on how you’re doing
I had a knot in my throat the whole entire time listening. Every single line from this song is felt!
this is a bit personal but i honestly love this song.
this year marks 5 years since i started a 2 year toxic relationship that left me emotionally broken, my old partner made me think i didn't deserve to be loved, he isolated me and controlled me 'till we broke up and i cut any contact with him. 3 years after that breakup, These few days, i've been talking with this girl i just met last year, and she just told me she likes me back.
"in five years i hope these songs feel like covers
dedicated to new lovers" hits hard right now
Almost a year after my break up and I can say that this song was what really helped me push through. It perfectly described my situation, thank you Lucy.
That ending part...wow
Also the instrumental sounds like Escape by Muse and these are both beautiful songs
I'm quite familiar with Phoebe's solo stuff and her new project with Conor Oberst (Better Oblivion Community Center). I looooove all of Julien's work. Finally decided to dive into Lucy's solo stuff, and so far it is fantastic!
i've lost some of my three longest and most close friends, it's the month completion of a year of my first ever relationship and break up, im behind in college, i have no idea where i'm gonna be in year from now, my depression is creeping back, and i'm feel more like myself and less like myself than ever. this song is like some core memory that crept it's way back into my mind today and it's the most relieving shit to hear. the guitar breaking, the never seeing you again, the anger for things happened to you, the slow build of both want and regret, and realization, and breaking, is so g o o d. she wants reconciliation, realizes she won't get it, reconciles with herself and the lack of answers, so i'll take night shift!!!!!! in five years i hope the songs feel like covers????? dedicated to new lovers????????? goddamn lucy
Utterly captivating, not to abuse a cliche.
listening to this while doing homework for an art class i didnt even want to take makes me so happy
Thank god for Boygenius because it's introduced me to Lucy, Julien, and Phoebe as solo artists as well. Incredible talent all around.
the night shift is such a sad metaphor. « regaining my self worth in record time » and her changing her entire life around just to avoid her ex. she’s just pretending to be over someone she clearly isn’t. being in such a strong state of denial and so angry because deep down she knows she’s still in love is just such a helpless feeling.
I think I've listened to this song at least 200 times since it was released. I never get tired of it. It's a rare perfect song.
i dont know, but im literally crying rightnow, :( this songs randomly played on my spotify yesterday and now i keep playing it , T.T
That's exactly how I ended up here, came on a Spotify playlist, and now I'm obsessed ❣️
Sammmeeee
Same, and felt the same way
Idk when did I put this song in my playlist, it might been by mistake, one day it started playing and I was like “what the fuck is this? It’s so boring” but then I was very intrigued, so I listened to it till the end and now it’s stuck in my head, great fucking song
Jesus, that was stunning...
I've listened to this so many times over quarantine... If anyone asks me what my lockdown was like I'm just gonna play this.
Can't wait to come back when this song gets the listens/views it deserves
Those are some god damn amazing lyrics
Of all the six minutes indie songs I know, this one is surely my Fav!
I can't stop listening to this song!
Same :) Its lovely, she's lovely.
I used to see a guy I worked a nightshift and he ended things at the beginning of COVID when we were laid off, and I stumbled across this song. It made a lot of sense at that time. It has another meaning now that I'm dealing with another, much more painful loss.
This song is so well written, composed beautifully! This is a true gem.
The fastest 6:30 minutes I have experienced...so amazing
The first time I tasted somebody else’s spit, I had a coughing fit
I mistakenly called them by your name
I was let down it wasn’t the same
I’m doing fine, trying to derail my one track mind
Regaining my self-worth in record time
But I can’t help but think of your other in the bed that was mine
Am I a masochist, resisting urges to punch you in the teeth, call you a bitch and leave?
Why did I come here? To sit and watch you stare at your feet?
What was the plan? Absolve your guilt and shake hands?
I feel no need to forgive but I might as well
But let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt
Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down
Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell
Don’t hold your breath, forget you ever saw me at my best
You don’t deserve what you don’t respect
Don’t deserve what you say you love and then neglect
Now bite your tongue, it’s too dangerous to fall so young
Take back what you said
Can’t lose what you never had
I feel no need to forgive but I might as well
But let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt
Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down
Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell
You got a 9 to 5, so I’ll take the night shift
And I’ll never see you again if I can help it
In five years I hope the songs feel like covers
Dedicated to new lovers
You got a 9 to 5, so I’ll take the night shift

In five years I hope the songs feel like covers
Dedicated to new lovers
My ex got my bed in the split and now he's with someone new. He was also a 9-5er and I was the night owl. So... Yeah, this song. 💚
you deserve better. praying for you
An absolutely brilliant song. The second part really has a Grandaddy sound musically. Love it..
What’s a grandaddy sound?
Historian is a great album
I’ve been listening to this non-stop for 3 days now and im still not tired of it
I'm literally addicted to this woman's voice wtf
Just saw her live a couple nights ago. Went for bright eyes and was just blown away and so thankful to hear her too.

A look into a broken heart and battered soul with lyrics and music making it hauntingly beautiful. Thanks.
I remember when i first listened to this i fell in love with it and knew the lyrics by heart. But i never thought i would go through a heart break and relate to this song at a deeper level. I'm finally over it and i love this song even more. Everything in this song i felt deep down. But i'm finally free and this song helped a lot for me to grow as a person. I'm finally free and this is the happiest i ever been 🙂
This is a true masterpiece.
She will break through big time, incredible how deep and good, and fresh, and never boring ...
This and Body to Flame are so good. I actually like her the most out of all the musicians in her genre.
a BBC piece brought me here (along w other greats like John Prine and recently Rina Sawayama etc) and im gratefuly muscially/culturally richer for it for introducing me to Lucy Dacus' music (a truly beautiful talent) 🙂
This is one of the very few songs that give me multiple bouts of goosebumps from beginning to end.
Every time i hear this song i get chills down my spine, i love this song soooooo much.
I love the tone of her voice.
Matador sure has a strong lineup. They're doing real music over there.
And in a Pitchfork listing of albums that influenced her, she said she signed with Matador Records because Yo La Tengo, a band she’s a huge fan of, is on that label. Matador also has Snail Mail, boygenius and Julien Baker as well…
One year ago I lay here on this bed talking to you while you played me this song. Only now do I know this song was not a message but a prophecy. Only now one year later do I know what this song means.
Happier than ever but good
Jk hte is still good
First time: wow, that's a very good song.
Second time: wait... what's going on? wtf it'amazing!
Third time: *crying*
Can't stop listening.
Lucy is very under rated
I found this song in best song list of 2018 on 'Rolling Stone'. This is just perfect.
My sister saids she sick of me listening to this on loop 🔁
Either way I’m happy to know I’m not the only one stuck on this song
i heard her play at a phoebe bridgers concert recently, and omg this song was so good. i had no idea who she was at the time but i’m glad she was there because now i do !!!
Remember hearing this first time in probably early 2019, enjoyed the record and loved the song, but sorta had life going on and completely forgot about it.
Fast forward to late March 2020 - which was an amazing time for everyone for all sorts of reasons - and was going through an insanely painful break up as the pandemic began. This came on shuffle as I sorta navigated the fugue state I was in, taking two and half hour walks at night while the world was quiet and staying home.
The 'chorus' or refrain felt like someone had run a red hot poker right through my chest. Will never forget as long as I live which street corner I was standing on, as I exploded into tears when the distorted guitars kicked in.
5:29 this part makes me cry so hard everytime :(
I accidentally clicked on this but I’m glad I did
Stan Lucy Dacus y'all
absolutely soul cryshing
thank u spotify 🙏
Im on my lowest point on my life rn. Its been hard for me, when i heard this song it made me feel a bit better and made me feel emotions rather than being numb. its been on loop for days I always listen to this song whenever i had a heavy feeling.
Thank you for this song im surviving rn:)
This song is an example of why everyone should listen to and support KEXP
Her voice is so beautiful, she's so beautiful
thank you, spotify
Lucy was reading my mind when she wrote this song...classic...
doesn't hurt like it used to but i'll still take the night shift
Glad it's getting easier 💪
This feels like being stuck in an abusive relationship and not having any way out than avoiding them at work. You have no escape, so you overwork just to avoid them.
Can't stop listening to this song, like ten times in a row for a few days now
