.lucydacus gets candid about her new album, 'Home Video,' and how it confronts her past, present, and future.
examines her past over the course of 11 nostalgia-fueled songs that re-analyze her formative adolescent years. But today, she’s here to confront her future.
“It’s kind of assuring to be like, yeah, the thing you’re afraid of is real. But it doesn’t have to be so bad,” Dacus says. Her focus shifts to a card at the center of her drawing: The Tower, commonly interpreted as meaning danger, crisis, destruction, and liberation, or, as Odyssey describes it, “You are in the tallest cell of the highest tower. You’re about to get blown out.”
When you write songs about your own past, like on this album, do you try to focus more on telling the real story of what happened, or how you personally remember it? Are you ever afraid that your memories might be clouded? Why do I do this? What is the point of this? Is it an action? Am I making something? Am I thinking about a reader? Am I the reader?Not often at all. I only did a couple of times when I was writing the record to cross-reference about some memories. But then about a month into lockdown, I started typing up from the very beginning, which I told myself I wouldn't do until it felt like the right time. And I was like, maybe this is a sign.
I think what I’ve noticed is that I have to plan when I’m going to be in the present. I’ll have a period of time where I’m planning, and then because I told myself it’s allowed and I carved it out and I protected it, I can actually do it. I think I’m getting better at it.
