    "comment": "Lucy described the song as, \"the only breakup song I've ever written.\" It was inspired by her relationship with her former bassist, with whom she broke up after finishing the tour for her previous album 'No Burden'. She said that her decision to include it as the opening track on the album was:\n\n\"Very deliberate! A breakup song is so immediately relatable. A first genuine heartbreak is a look into reimagining what your life is going to look like. If you accommodate somebody else and you think they’re going to be part of your life and then they’re not, you have to reform. The rest of the album has that reforming quality — having the rug pulled out from underneath you, and coming back.\"\n\nhttps://www.thefader.com/2018/02/13/lucy-dacus-historian-night-shift-interview-matador",
