Lucy's Song
Soundtrack: Suffs
Lucy's Song Song Lyrics
Do you remember that rally back in college when we met?
I never told you this 'cause I know you'll be upset,
but it was actually by accident that I was even there.
I happened to be headed to the grocery store across the square
When you made me stop to hold your banner while you yelled at that cop.
Then before I could protest, we were under arrest.
Remember how he only had one pair of cuffs,
so he cuffed us together like I was one of the suffs?
And ever since, I've been here by your side
'cause I just really love being along for the ride.
But I've done my time. I fought my last war.
I'm not marching anymore.
Please don't try to change my mind
'cause I'm sure I'm not marching anymore.
For the last ten years, we've marched and we've thrived.
We've planned and we've screamed. We've starved and survived.
We beat every odd and my God, look at all that we've won.
But I'm tired and sore. I've settled my score. I'm not marching anymore.
Let the next girl have her world changed forever on her way to the store.
I'm not marching anymore.
But I hope you know, even though we haven't, even though you didn't,
Even when you drove me to my wits end, the best thing I've ever been is your friend.
Sorry if you never knew that before. Alice, I'm not marching anymore.
But I'll never be far from you.
You'll find a way, you always do.
Track Listing
The Role of Lucy
Lucy's introduction in the musical needs a distinguishing musical tune.
She is a constant presence, especially with Alice. During the creation period, the team was unsure of her character's purpose. The refrain "Who is Lucy?" resounded throughout the procedure. However, the promise of a defining song in Act II maintained the audience's trust and expectation. This song was designed to shed light on her character and deliver the clarification that everyone had been waiting for.
The composition
The song is written in a melodic 6/8 time signature. It elicited strong emotions from its first performance, which Ally Bonino beautifully delivered, leaving the audience moved and often in tears.
Leigh's Insight and Unfinished Lyrics
A proposal by Leigh, highlighting Lucy's unspoken feelings, became a watershed moment in the song's development. This resulted in the addition of unfinished words, creating a melancholy pause in the song.
"I hope you know..." Although we have not... Although you didn't... Even when you drove me to my wits end, the best thing I've ever been is your friend.
These unfinished words give a raw, emotional element to the song, revealing Lucy's internal struggles and deep thoughts, which resonate with viewers on a profound level.
