Lucy Dacus has finally given ‘Night Shift’ the visual treatment, five years after it was released.The fan favourite track is lifted from her 2018 album ‘Historian’.
Incidentally, its chorus contains a reference to an event happening in five years: “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.”Dacus had previously told NPR that the track song was “the only break-up song she’d even written”, adding: “For a long time I didn’t believe expressing this sort of negativity was productive, but it’s less productive to resist the truth of a situation.
It’s a hopeful song.”The video sees Dacus working at the front desk of a venue where a Wizard of Oz themed party is taking place.
The visuals also feature an appearance from Yellowjackets’ Jasmine Savoy Brown, who is dressed as a witch.Check out the video for ‘Night Shift’ below:Dacus’ debut album with Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker as part of Boygenius, ‘the record’, will land on March 31.
