Lucy Dacus Wants to Be on Survivor

"This is a trick question, because you're not supposed to eat or drink anything before going to bed. But a few of my band and crew members did have a little secret tradition where we would eat ice-cream sandwiches before bed on tour, so that's pretty cute. And my dad told me to take magnesium pills, so I'm going to start doing that."

"When I was in high school - so just take this with a grain of high school - I had this thing called "posi-nihilism," where it was like, Nothing matters and nothing has meaning, but that's not so bad; that's very freeing. We can do anything - or if we want to make our own meaning, great! That was my ethos as a teenager. So maybe something similar to that, or some sort of tree-root-systems worship."

"Maybe collagen? Actually, I wouldn't do this, so don't reach out to me, collagen people. But I started taking it on a whim, and then when I stopped taking it, I really noticed, which let me know that it is real. I feel like my joints feel better when I take it, and all my friends I've told to take collagen are like, "I can't believe this is real.""

The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter released a companion album, Forever Is a Feeling: The Archives, available to stream and due on vinyl in December. The musician usually avoids eating or drinking before bed but recalls a tour tradition of eating ice-cream sandwiches with band and crew and plans to start taking magnesium pills. In high school the musician embraced a "posi-nihilism" outlook that views meaninglessness as freeing and allows individuals to create their own meaning, and also imagines a playful tree-root-systems worship. The musician has tried collagen, noticed joint improvements when taking it, and recommends it to friends. The musician's recurring fear is that people in their life will die without peace, and a personal anxiety involves imagining danger in dark rooms. A recent event included rewriting a song with children.
