For up your music, you're connected to all songs.

Considered I'm Bob Boylan, I'll begin today's show with Lucy Dekas, one of my very favorite musicians making music these days.

Lucy is a fabulous storyteller and singer.

Last year's album, Home Video, told intimate tales from her childhood and teenage years.

Now an unreleased song from that album is out.

It's called Kissing Lessons, and here's Lucy with the song's origin story.

Kissing Lessons is about basically what the lyrics say. It's about practicing kissing with my friend Rachel when I was seven and she was eight.

I was so stressed out about my first kiss for some reason when I was younger and I thought since she was older than me,

even if by one year she must know more about it and she definitely let me believe that.

And she gave me lessons and we always pretended to be the other person's crush.

So there wasn't really any idea of being gay at the time. I don't even know if anyone taught me about being gay by that point in my life.

So it was always for the future men in our lives, but it did happen to be my favorite activity.

So in retrospect, yeah, I think of it as a very sweet and innocent formative queer experience.

Rachel was a year older when I was in the second grade.

I thought she might know everything. I took a word like a golden ring.

I asked her how to win my men and she said, I know just the thing.

She called me by the name of a crush. I couldn't decide if she was cold or just in.

I think I called her a baby, a darling, was the time.

She told me to take a chance, be sedish. Imagine me the day you were coming to use. Imagine me the day you would start picking hearts and taking days.

She called me to three-starry house. I wanted to let my body go on air with my children and father.

Three sons and a beautiful darling.

The sons of Lucy Dekas and the song Kissing Lessons.
