Song Reaction: Night Shift - Lucy Dacus + MUSIC VIDEO 

"in 5 years i hope the songs feel like covers" and then the mv coming out 5 years later is so iconiccccc

You guys would love Preachers Daughter by Ethel Cain. So excited for this reaction u guys are great!

To add to the point about “in 5 years I hope the songs feel like covers” while boygenius was touring last year, they each took turns singing each others songs and Phoebe covered Night Shift.

I actually adore Emily’s new hair. It’s so mom from the parent trap, princess diana and I think it absolutely suits her face. You’re both gorgeous and your minds are amazing. Love you and this channel so much!

“this song feels like it’s really gonna build to something…” oh just you WAIT

Ahhhh what a surprise! I really REALLY hope you`ll listen to her Home Video album.... like the things that album did to me are simply unspeakable and BEYOND offensive. And also i feel like it's much closer to "the record" sound and lyrics wise so i think it would be easier to start there. Thank you for giving Lucy a chance!

you should do home video (lucy) --> little oblivions (julien) --> historian (lucy) --> turn out the lights (julien) !!!

emily’s hair is my favorite haircut on her like she makes it look SO good

yesss i love lucy !! i recommend listening to her album home video it’s so good !! 💗💗

the synchronized swaying at 8:50 is too cute

em and bonny you both look so beautiful 🥹 don’t ever doubt it

Historian in my opinion it's Lucy's masterpiece, a perfect album!!

I will never forget hearing her for the first time in 2016, her song "I Don't Wanna Be Funny Anymore" - I needed several business days to recover from the lyrics.

home video its definetely the way to go‼️ even though historian has really great songs, home video feels like a better introduction since its more of like a concept album, so i think you guys would get a better impression from there

IM SO HAPPY YOU GUYS FINALLY DID THIS VIDEO!! I obviously wasn’t expecting a just night shift reaction, but I think you guys should definitely react to home video!! It’s the album with the best following story/concepts throughout, but historians would be iconic to react to because of timefighter. If I could give you 2-3 songs to react to from each album, I would say from No Burden “I don’t wanna be funny anymore” and “Green eyes, red face”, from historians “Timefighter” and “The Shell”, and from Home Video “Christine” and “Going going gone” just if you want another brief overview of her discography before reacting to any of the albums. If you do Julien Baker next, PLEASE REACT TO FAVOR!!! I feel like you guys would like “Turn out the lights” the most out of her albums, an offensive song from it is Sour Breath if you want to listen to a song from that album first.

I'm SO thrilled you reacted to this. I saw boygenius in 2018 on their first tour, which was a triple headline tour, so all three of the boys played solo sets. I had only heard Phoebe before that show, but when Lucy played Night Shift, I became an instant superfan. One of the best shows/performances of my life.

BON & EMMMM, you did it!!!!!! I've been waiting and waiting as a ChatsReacts Stan for my circle to complete as an all things boygenius Stan! Fun fact: Lucy always says of the boys that she conceptualizes Julien as the musician, Phoebe as the artist, and herself as the writer, while she obvi experiences that all 3 of them are all of those. And they've often said that since they toured and made their EP in 2018 (PLEASE REACT TO THAT TOO!!!), even through their solo projects, they've been storytelling with each other. That's how many easter eggs in their albums since then have featured all 3 boys, and shared the same subject matter. They call that their secret 4th boygenius project! Lucy storytelling forever though!!

Sprained Ankle (Julien's first album) is also my favorite album of all time

lucy is the most underrated musician and i’m not just saying that, her voice, her lyrics, the production…literally perfect

If Night Shift has million fans, then I'm one of them. If Night Shift has one fan, then I'm THAT ONE. If Night Shift has no fans, that means I'm dead.

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate a Lucy Dacus reaction on your channel! I highly recommend her album Home Video! You two do awesome reactions, and I know you'd have a lot to say about Lucy's lyrics on that album 😊 It kind of feels like going home for Christmas, and visiting all your old haunts. Truly beautiful and nostalgic.

emily you are GIVING diana spencer meg ryan natasha richardson realness with this hair. u are literally so beautiful i could cry about it

The thing about this being her only breakup song, historian definitely contains a few breakup songs, maybe not necessarily traditional heartbreak songs but there’s definitely reminiscing on past relationships

YESSSS I've been WAITING for this one! This is one of my all time favorite song of all time! Love your reactions, you should totally do all of historian and home video!

I think you will be pleasantly surprised by Juliens solo work, I recently went down the rabbit hole and I haven’t stopped listening since

Soo glad to get to see your reaction to this!! A Muna reaction when?

you guys should ABSOLUTELY listen to julien's albums "turn out the lights" and "little oblivions", as well as boygenius's debut ep! all absolutely fantastic tracks :))

Emily's hair really suits her, she looks very elegant

hearing this randomly on spotify in 2019 changed my life

OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS REACTED TO THIS SONG????!!!! I literally love this song so much, it holds such a near and dear place in my heart! Last summer, when I was especially obsessed with it, I had such a cinematic breakdown in a park with this song blasting from my car while fireworks went off around the whole valley at dusk- it was truly incredible and I'm so glad you guys have heard it now!!!!!!! YAYYYYY

you girls are literally the reason i became a swiftie, i never understood or appreciated music or lyricism the way i do now until i listened to folklore when it came out and was like...omg i think ive become a taylor swift fan.. then i watched your reaction and breakdown and. iwas like this woman is a MASTERMIND and these two woman are GENIUSES. i must stan both. and here we are 4 years later, happy anniversary girlies❤

emily’s hair looks sooo beautiful!! reminds me of elizabeth james in parent trap, i’ve always loved her hairstyle

If you guys are doing non Taylor stuff I’d love to see you guys go back and do the deluxes for the good witch by Maisie and the deluxe of Noah kahans album!!

THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY you're gonna LOVE lucy's discography!!!

definitely react to the full album and especially to Home Video! for julien, Sprained Ankle is my favorite album but they're all amazing and SA is definitely the most stripped back one while her third album Little Oblivions is more diverse. her second album Turn Out The Lights is amazing too and somewhere between the two stylistically

yeesss, Night Shift you will always be famous

THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

Fun fact, for anyone who wants to be a bit more devastated by the lore around this song!! At the last show of boygenius' tour this year at the hollywood bowl each of the boys sang a solo song of someone else, and Phoebe sang Night Shift (wearing Lucy's jacket from the first boygenius tour in 2018)... literally a cover dedicated to new lovers 5 years later 🫠 (Julien sang motion sickness by Phoebe and Lucy sang good news by Julien)

Historian is a PHENOMENAL album! I LOVE it SO SO much

its so funny to see the girls vibing and smiling while im sobbing and feeling touched by every damn lyric. I love you girls. hope you keep reacting fully healthy

OMG! Emily is looking GORGEOUS! So is Bonnie ♥️

IM SO GLAD U GUYS HAD ACTUALLY MADE A REACTION TO THE ROLLERCOASTER OF A SONG😭😭😭🎀🎀‼️🩷‼️🩷

I also got into Lucy's music through Night Shift and its music video sooo I believe you'll love her other songs for sure!

Emily you look absolutely beautiful! And I'm so happy you finally reacted to Lucy, she's my favorite 🤍. I'd do Home Video, her most recent album. It's her peak at songwriting and I can see you two crying with the song "Please Stay"

I've been WAITING for this you have NO idea! I need to see y'all fathoming home video, that album took a part of my soul lol

i’m SO here for this !!!!

I love her work, Home Again album is so amazing!!❤

Emily’s hair looks so cool on her

OMG YES I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS TODAY I’M SO EXCITED

this is my superbowl I've waited so long for this!!! 😭😭😭 hope to see the whole album soon!!!

Omg you two introduced me to boygenius when I saw ur reaction to the record! And as soon as I saw u were reacting to Night Shift I went and listened to it immediately and watched the MV! Love ur reactions and you’ve helped me find new artists that I haven’t listened to before! I was already swiftie but now I listen to a lot of different artists! Thank you so much for introducing me to new music ❤

i think you guys would really love her album home video!!

oh my GOD I cannot believe I missed this when it came out I’m SUCH a Lucy girl!! loved this and love y’all

I NEED you guys to react to either Paramore’s album or boygenius self titled EP if you haven’t already heard it🙏🙏🙏plsssss

Omg captions are available - thanks both 🙏💙🙏💙

I screamed when I saw the thumbnail, this is one of my favorite songs ever!!!

PERIOD!! home video is an amazing album haul!!

Omg slayyyy, given your reactions to this i simply cannot recommend her album home video highly enough!!

I've been waiting for this vid so bad

I'm not sure if you mention it in the video but the music video was released 5 years after the song because of the line 'in five years I hope these songs feel like covers'.

omg what a lovely surprise 🖤🖤 I love all my boys solo music so much, but I would recommend Home Video (by Lucy) and Little Oblivions (by Julien) as a first introduction, but trust me, any album of them is an amazing listen❤️‍🔥

I’m so happy you’ve reacted to this!! I would love to see you react to the self titled boygenius ep, Home Video by Lucy, and Sprained Ankle by Julien ❤

OKAY BUT YOU BOTH LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL??????????????? I SWEAR you guys look so pretty!!!!

patiently waiting for them to react to preachers daughter by ethel cain

stop i was just watching your phoebe album reactions the other day and thinking abt how awesome it would be if you did lucy too 😭loved this one! i really want to see y'alls reactions to home video now lol

OMG I clicked on this video so fast. Lucy is an amazing songwriter and it would be great if you would like to react to more of her albums! Your hairstyles and colors are immaculate as always

oh, i second the petition for snow angel (deluxe) reaction that I've seen in the comments definetly do... the beginning was so cutee

I loved this reaction

Love this songgg

You should listen to the land is inhospitable and so are we by mitski it’s amazing and her song writing is insane

LOVE THIS!!! I really recommend listening to Home video it's so good

I love Lucy's albums, this reaction is so iconic !!!

omggg cant believe you guys are doing this song

I wonder if you would ever wanna listen to Luke Hemmings album When Facing The Things We Turn Away From. I know. A mouthful to say, haha. He has such a beautiful voice and the sound of the album is just superior. He's in the band 5 Seconds Of Summer and this album is the first time he's explored making a solo record. He wrote it in lockdown when he was "forced" to finally calm down and actually process all the things he had pushed to the side while on the road. The band started touring from a young age and hadn't really stopped working till the pandemic happened. It's such a great album and his writing is fantastic. I really think you would enjoy it! :)

i am so excited when you guys get to Home Video

You should definatly listen to the rest of the album, its amazing and the best album to start with!

the first 10 seconds is girlhood and i love it so much 💝

omg yess full home video reaction please

YESSSSSS I SCREAMED LITERALLY

Omfg Emily is stunning in those videos like whaaaattt

IVE BEEN WAITING

I'm not familiar with Lucy Dacus (I'll look into it more) but I literally clicked the video to comment that Emily, you look really amazing with that hair and the black top and they're already saying you do ☺️ seriously red and black suits you both really well with those hairstyles 🥰 Happy New Year 🎊

Endgame on the Eras Tour was so spot on. I think I saw a TikTok edit with song from Argentina Night 2

Favorite song of all time

Great video! Home Video is my favourite. Best written album next to Folklore. It’s also storytelling.

Loved this. If you do another Lucy single before her albums, it absolutely has to be Thumbs

ughhh another freaking banger of a video 🥹🥹😅 you guys truly are the angels sent from above... you mean the world to me 😂😂😂😍😍 I wouldn't be the boy... no.. MAN.. I am today without your inspirational, moving videos.... 😘 keep being your amazing selves you freaking iconic fools !!! 😁😁🥰✌🏼✌🏼👍🏼

I am here for Lucy and especially Julien content, thank you girls 💛

Thank you for the video!! Historian is such a good record and Night Shift will always be an iconic album opener I don't know if you've ever adressed this album before but I'd love to see you react to Preacher's Daughter by Ethel Cain!

And thoughts on navigating: id start with home video, her most recent work, i feel like its the easiest 'in' and it has some songs that will kill you dead. All her albums are gorgeous, you obviously must finish historian but its a little more enigmatic than her other stuff in my opinion. And her first album is wonderful but might be a slower burn
