Hi. I am Alisa Ali. Thank you so much for tuning in to our non-commercial public radio station. And now, I’m going to get to our NY Slice; it’s our local music feature.
Up now it’s Lucie Bernheim, born and raised in NYC, Lucie Bernheim is a 21-year-old singer-songwriter with a penchant for story-telling. Growing up on an eclectic range of music, her inspirations include Kacey Musgraves, John Mayer, and Joni Mitchell, and she combines country, folk, pop, and alternative to create her own unique sonic universe. She’s in her last year of college in Connecticut, where she’s studying music, and she sent us “Threes,” which is the title track from her new EP, and the song is inspired by the patterns and cycles she sees in herself, her mother and maternal grandmother, and she wrote this one, just a few weeks before her grandmother passed. And says that, “Sometimes you have to grow up to realize the adults who raise and protect you are people who have the same struggles as you.” We’ll listen to “Threes” right now. Here’s Lucie Bernheim, on WFUV.
Larned to hold her own haFit
She speaks in small talk
It’s her native tongue
Learned to hold her own hand
Fits like a glove
Drugstore polish
Can’t shine me bright and new
I learned from the best
How to paint my blues
My mother’s mother misses the ocean
My mother misses who she used to know
On a beach collecting shells of a person
I miss everything that I’ve outgrown
Inside every woman
Is a little girl
Leave it all behind
For the real world
Is it raining too
When you look outside
Do you close the shades
Close your eyes
My mother’s mother misses the ocean
My mother misses who she used to know
On a beach collecting shells of a person
I miss everything that I’ve outgrown
I had a dream where I let you down
Gripping steering wheels couldn’t turn around
I wake up and nothing’s changed
But then I blink, then I, but then I blink, but then I, but then I blink
