Molly Pascal: 我和丈夫在恋爱初期无话不谈，建立了深厚的情感连接。但七年后，我们陷入了沉默的日常，像电影里那些‘餐厅死者’一样，失去了沟通的活力。我们意识到问题后，决定通过有意识的沟通和定期的徒步旅行来重新建立情感连接。在旅行中，我们远离了生活的琐碎，在自然中找回了沟通的乐趣，重新感受到了彼此的爱意。如今，我们依然会偶尔陷入沉默，但我已经能够坦然面对这些间隙，因为我们已经一起经历了很多，并依然在共同探索人生的旅程。 Lucy Dacus: Molly Pascal 的故事让我感触很深，因为我也在思考长期关系中如何维系沟通和情感连接。我的新歌《Talk》就表达了这种担忧，歌曲中描绘了两人在开车时沉默的场景，暗示着关系的结束。我认为在长期关系中，双方都需要愿意付出努力，坦诚沟通，并为彼此创造一些特别的时刻，比如像Molly和丈夫那样一起旅行。同时，我也意识到，接受变化，坦然面对关系中的间隙，也是维系长期关系的关键。重要的是，双方要感受到彼此的关心和理解，而不是仅仅停留在身体的需求层面。

Shownotes Transcript

On her fourth solo album, “Forever Is a Feeling” (out March 28), Lucy Dacus contemplates the fears and delights that go along with falling hard for someone. The song “Best Guess” celebrates the leap of faith involved in committing to a partner with the knowledge that both of you will change over time. And in another track called “Talk,” a couple realizes they’ve grown apart because they have nothing more to say to each other.

In this episode, Dacus reads Molly Pascal’s Modern Love essay “How the ‘Dining Dead’ Got Talking Again),” about a couple who sets out to bring conversation back into their marriage. And Dacus tells Anna Martin why she’s not afraid to put in the work for long-term love.

Lucy Dacus’ fourth solo album, “Forever Is a Feeling,” is out March 28.
