Fishing with You Lyrics – ​dacelynn | from “Nine Lives”

Dacelynn’s Nine Lives slinks out like a cat on a midnight prowl, her debut EP dropping December 12 via independent glow, and “Fishing with You” is that quiet hook that reels you into the deep end—half-whispered longing over fingerpicked strings that make rainy windows feel like old friends.

This unreleased gem, track three on the eight-song set, captures dacelynn’s knack for turning everyday aches into poetry you can hum in the shower. It’s indie folk with a soft electronic undercurrent—think Bon Iver’s intimacy meets Phoebe Bridgers’ bite, all acoustic guitar plucks and breathy vocals that build to a swell without ever shouting. Thematically, it’s a meditation on fleeting connections: casting lines into murky waters of what-ifs, where love’s a slippery catch you might not want to keep. She’s said in TikTok lives it’s about those hazy summer memories that linger like bait on a hook, pulling from her own rainy-day journals scribbled in Seattle coffee shops.

No big collabs here; it’s pure dacelynn, self-produced in her home setup, with subtle field recordings of lake laps adding that lived-in hush. Teased in a November acoustic clip that racked 300K views, fans are already calling it the EP’s emotional anchor, her voice cracking just enough to remind you she’s fishing for real.

Nine Lives lives up to its name—a sly nod to reinvention, nine tracks unpacking the selves we shed and snag along the way. It’s got the porcelain-fragile opener “Porcelain,” the raw gut-punch of “Dog Eat Dog,” monsoon-soaked confessions in “Monsoon,” and closers like “Russian Doll” that twist vulnerability into armor. Clocking around 25 minutes, the concept’s all about multiplicity: “We all have different versions of ourselves,” she spilled to Melodic Mag last month, drawing from therapy breakthroughs and cross-country moves. Recorded piecemeal between Portland gigs and late-night sessions, it ditches her early twangy folk roots for lusher layers—strings that sigh, beats that pulse like a second heartbeat—without losing that raw, unpolished edge.

Dacelynn’s stepping into her spotlight at 24, five years past her Twine EP whispers and PR!DE’s queer anthems, but Nine Lives feels like arrival: post-viral TikToks (those “armpit hairs not going anywhere” rants hit different) and open-mic lore turning into festival whispers. The Seattle-raised storyteller who traded corporate dreams for chord progressions is evolving—less wide-eyed indie kid, more wise-cracking sage who knows nine lives mean nine chances to rewrite the reel.
