Lucy Dacus Releases Cover of “La Vie En Rose”

Lucy Dacus has shared a cover of Edith Piaf’s “La Vie En Rose” in honor of Valentine’s Day. Singing in both English and French and accompanied by an insistent guitar and percussive rhythm section, Dacus offers a modern take on a cherished classic. “From the first time I heard it, I thought ‘La Vie En Rose’ was a perfect song. Hearing it, I knew that, one day, I would fall in love,” says Dacus, adding “I want someone to listen to this while running at top speed to the doorstep of the person they adore, ready to profess their deep, undying love. (PS, there’s a longer story about singing this song as a duet with my middle school janitor, but it is not concise).”
