Song of the Day: “Me & My Dog” by boygenius

Me & My Dog

Earlier in 2018, Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus joined together as boygenius to create a self-titled EP. The three, who have had some success separately as singers and songwriters, joined together as a group after booking a tour together. Now, they are receiving rave reviews for their collaboration.

One of the tracks on the EP is “My & My Dog,” written by Bridgers, who sings the verses before being joined by Baker and Dacus on the chorus. The recording illustrates the wonderful blend of voices that the three create. The song itself is not really about a dog, but about love and the loss of a relationship.

I wanna hear one song without thinking of you;
I wish I was on a spaceship,
Just me and my dog and an impossible view.

Check out boygenius performing “Me & My Dog” live at the WFUV studios from November 2018.
