Welcome back to Shay & The Good People podcast. Livvy Marcus, who performs under the moniker, Morninglory, was one of the FIRST guests on Shay & The Good People. Livvy is an unbelievable songwriter. I have been a fan of her tunes since 2018 when I cried listening to her play songs on a living floor in the Berkshires. Her songs make me feel nostalgic for a long drive across the Midwest that I’ve never even taken before. I’m super grateful for Livvy’s friendship over the years and am always inspired by her commitment to good music. You should stream her album, Livvy Marcus Eats Her Shoe, immediately after this interview.
In this ep, we discuss:
Being from Massachusettes
Is memorizing scripts hard…or are the scripts just bad?
Using tarot cards and drawing as a morning spiritual practice.
The balancing act of theater and music careers.
Babysitting. Always babysitting.
How obsessed I am with her album, Livvy Marcus Eats Her Shoe.
Livvy shares with us a really tricky and traumatizing experience with a music manager. What happens when you’re so close to getting what you want? How do you navigate the fallout of it not working out the way you thought?
When writing lyrics keep your Notes app open. All the time.
“Feeling rushed and feeling old is the number one reason why I don’t get sh*t done on time.” - Mornglory
