about

Banjo Lucia is a passionate singer-songwriter steeped in a deep love for the craft and tradition. Her songs reveal a wisdom and sophisticated turn of phrase that belie her age, revealing an insight into the human condition that is at once heartbreaking and uplifting. Her ability to turn mundane details into profound familiarity and transport the listener into the centre of her experience as if it was their own, is the mark of a truly gifted writer.

Drawing influence from luminaries such as Frank Ocean, Björk and Julia Jacklin, the metamorphosis of this is evident in her debut single; That’s Not Loving, a song “about realising that even though someone may have an explanation for their poor behaviour, that doesn’t excuse it. It’s about learning that you can be sympathetic and have boundaries around how people treat you at the same time”.

lyrics

Words spill from your mouth like they’re honey
Every time that I’m thinking of running
And you like to blame it on your parents
I’m sorry that you find them overbearing

But don’t treat me like shit
Just cause you’re hurting
It’s not worth it
When it becomes the routine
You’ll pick a fight
Say it’s cause you love me
That’s not loving

And I know that you’ll think that you’re wise soon
And you know everything there is to be known
But your hands don’t feel kind anymore
A low tide on a rough windy shore

But don’t treat me like shit
Just cause you’re hurting
It’s not worth it
When it becomes the routine
You’ll pick a fight
Say it’s cause you love me
That’s not loving

And I’ll walk through the door and your hands on my shoulders
And I’m just not sure if it’s worth the exhaustion
Of waiting and singing you songs
Of asking you quietly what’s wrong

So don’t treat me like shit
Just cause you’re hurting
It’s not worth it
When it becomes the routine
You’ll pick a fight
Say it’s cause you love me
That’s not loving

So don’t treat me like shit
Just cause you’re hurting
It’s not worth it
When it becomes the routine
You’ll pick a fight
Say it’s cause you love me
That’s not loving
