Singers Unite to Pay Tribute to Timeless Love: Lucy Dacus and Chappell Roan Deliver Haunting Performance of The Magnetic Fields' "The Book of Love"
At the Artists for Aid benefit concert in Los Angeles, a star-studded lineup came together to raise money for relief efforts in Sudan and Palestine. While some notable acts made their scheduled appearances, an unannounced guest stole the show – Chappell Roan joining forces with Lucy Dacus for a captivating cover of The Magnetic Fields' 69 Love Songs classic "The Book of Love."
Dacus kicked off her set with her own poignant song "For Keeps," before inviting Roan on stage to tackle their duet. The performance, which took place at the Shrine Auditorium, was a fitting tribute to the timeless love anthem that has been covered by countless artists over the years.
The Artists for Aid concert featured an impressive lineup of talent, including Shawn Mendes, Clairo, Faye Webster, Blood Orange, Jazmine Sullivan, and Geese. With Pedro Pascal and Bella Hadid serving as hosts, the event aimed to raise funds for the Sudanese American Physicians Association and the Palestine children's relief fund.
In related news, Lucy Dacus recently made headlines when she sang "Bread and Roses" at New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's inauguration at City Hall Park. When asked about her thoughts on performing a song by another artist, Dacus confessed that it felt strange – "It's such a beautiful sentiment. The idea that you're not just fighting for your sustenance — you're fighting for your joy."
The Artists for Aid concert serves as a poignant reminder of the power of music to bring people together and drive positive change.

so nice that these talented singers decided to get together and do some good... meanwhile, I'm over here thinking about how long it takes for politicians to show up at charity events 
like Shawn Mendes, who's basically a nice guy but still shows up after everyone else is done playing 
and Bella Hadid as the host, because who needs actual talent when you've got a pretty face? 
. It's not often that you see two talented artists put aside their own songs to deliver a haunting performance of someone else's work, but in this case, it felt like the perfect union. The way they harmonized and brought out the emotional depth in that song was truly breathtaking 
. And I have to say, it's refreshing to see Lucy Dacus open up about feeling strange when performing another artist's song 
. It just goes to show how vulnerable artists can be when sharing their own thoughts on music 
. Overall, the Artists for Aid concert was a beautiful display of music's power to bring people together and create positive change 
.
i loved the impromptu collab between lucy dacus and chappell roan on that magnetic fields cover - it was like they were meant to sing together! 
. It's amazing how music can bring everyone together though! I love Lucy Dacus' new song "For Keeps" - it's so emotional 
. And Chappell Roan's duet with her was like a hug for my soul 
. I don't know much about The Magnetic Fields, but that performance of "The Book of Love" gave me chills! It just shows how music can make us feel things we never knew we could feel 
. And did you know that The Magnetic Fields' "69 Love Songs" has been certified platinum? 
It's crazy to think about how many artists have covered this song over the years... it just goes to show how timeless love songs are 
"the book of love" is such a beautiful song, it's amazing how these two talented artists made it their own 
. and i have to say, i was really impressed that they both brought their A-game to the performance... not just as singers, but also as storytellers 
. what i loved most about this song is its message of love & acceptance, which is something we all need more of in our lives 
. it's so great to see artists using their platforms to spread positivity & kindness 
. can't wait to hear what these talented ladies come up with next!!! 
. It was just another cover song, you know? I mean, what's so special about The Magnetic Fields' "The Book of Love"? Can't they write something original for once? And don't even get me started on the whole Artists for Aid concert thing... it's just a bunch of rich people throwing money at problems that'll still be there tomorrow 
. What really gets me, though, is the fact that this performance is not just about celebrating love, but also about unity and solidarity 
. And can we talk about how inspiring it is to see artists using their platforms to make a difference? 
!
, but let's focus on some good news... or so it seems 
. A concert in LA for Artists for Aid was actually just another opportunity for rich celebs to show off their philanthropic side 
Meanwhile, Lucy Dacus is having some weird feelings about singing other people's songs... good for her, I guess 
. At least she's trying to understand the message behind "Bread and Roses"... not like we have better things to do than ponder the meaning of life while world leaders are still mired in conflict 
when she talks about performing someone else's song, but in all seriousness, that tribute performance with Chappell Roan was SO hauntingly beautiful 
. But what if the original 69 Love Songs album is actually a masterpiece in its own right? We're not even talking about The Magnetic Fields here... I mean, have you listened to the whole album?
