Jeremy Messersmith
Jeremy Messersmith is an American indie pop musician, based in Minneapolis.
Messersmith is not only a musician is half-truth, but also a storyteller. His first full-length release The Alcatraz Kid is a moving collection of acoustic-driven lullabies with titles like “Novocain” and “Beautiful Children” that innocently question the purpose of things to come.

Messersmith is not only a musician is half-truth, but also a storyteller. His first full-length release The Alcatraz Kid is a moving collection of acoustic-driven lullabies with titles like “Novocain” and “Beautiful Children” that innocently question the purpose of things to come. The integrity of these delicate songs immediately struck a chord with critics and fans alike, and captured the attention of Semisonic’s Dan Wilson, who offered to produce Messersmith’s follow-up album, The Silver City.
The Silver City was a natural progression in sound and reflection: the compositions grew fuller and more dynamic with a classic-pop feel inspired by the Beach Boys and Beatles: While the topics focused on midlife struggles with tracks like “Dead End Job” and “Miracles.” Local and national attention soon followed with NPR and college stations around the country, followed by U.S. tours and sold-out shows in New York, Chicago and Minneapolis.
The Reluctant Graveyard bookends this trilogy of lifelong (ahem, literary) observations with songs like “Lazy Bones” and “Organ Donor,” and sonically continues on the ’60s chamber pop path Messersmith set out with his sophomore release. He continues to share stages with notables such as Sondre Lechre and The Watson Twins, and has been featured on MTV and Ugly Betty.

Jeremy Messersmith Lyrics
Lucy takes the long way home
Meets me in a field of stone
She says I don't know how I'm supposed to feel
My body's cold but guts a twist in steel
And I feel like I'm some kind of Frankenstein
Waiting for a shock to bring me back to life
But I don't wanna spend all my time
Waiting for lighting to strike
Ooooohhh
So underneath the concrete sky
Lucy puts her hand in mine
She says life's a game we are meant to lose
Stick by me and I with stick by you
'Cause I'm like a princess waiting in a castle high
Waiting for a kiss to bring me back to life
But I don't wanna spend my time
Waiting for just another guy
Ooooohhhhh

Lyrics:
Lucy takes the long way home
Meets me in a field of stone
She says I don't know how I'm supposed to feel
My body's cold my guts are twisted steel
I feel like I'm some kind of Frankenstein
Waiting for a shock to bring me back to life
But I don't want to spend my time
Waiting for lightning to strike
Underneath a concrete sky
Lucy puts her hand in mine
She says life's a game we're meant to lose
But stick by me and I will stick by you
I'm like a princess in a castle high
Waiting for a kiss to bring me back to life
But I don't want to spend my time
Waiting for just another guy

Lucy toma o longo caminho para casa
Me encontra no campo de pedra
Ela diz que eu não sei como eu deveria me sentir
Meu corpo está frio minhas tripas são metal retorcido
Eu sinto que sou uma espécie de Frankenstein
Esperando por um choque para me trazer de volta à vida
Mas eu não quero perder o meu tempo
Esperando por um raio me atingir
Debaixo de um céu de concreto
Lucy coloca sua mão na minha
Ela diz que a vida é um jogo que estamos destinados a perder
Mas fique comigo e eu ficarei com você
Eu sou como uma princesa num alto castelo
Esperando um beijo para me trazer de volta à vida
Mas eu não quero gastar o meu tempo
Esperando só mais um cara

I feel like the world would be a better place if we heard more stuff like this on the radio. Keep it up.

Thats how I found it! 👌

Ryan Clark
I couldn't agree more. Takes a special kind of talent to make a song this beautiful. Reminds me of Jose Gonzales - Heartbearts

@Jeremy Messersmith I know you probably won't see this, but i'd just like to say I found out about you from this song being featured in Chuck, and a friend of mine who was in the Violet! music video, and I'm quite happy I did.
MrWolfsbmw
I totally agree. We need more talent on the radio! Jeremy FTW!

If it wasn't for chuck I would have never discovered such a touching song from a amazing moving artist
Lyri Metacurl
I found this song in 2016 from looking up videos with the highest like to dislike ratio on YouTube.
Josh Healy
The amount of amazing songs I have discovered after rewatching Chuck is incredible.
Jose Marquez
The same here if it wasn't for Chuck I would have never have learned about so many wonderful different kind of music thanks for this great show that is gone
