1	Hungry Lucy is an AlternativeDance / DarkCabaret duo from Ohio. Most of their music contains elements of both DarkWave and trip-hop, in the vein of bands like ''Switchblade Symphony,'' but they've dubbed their own genre "gypsy electronica." It has nothing to do with [[Music/GogolBordello gypsy punk]]. They were originally a CreatorCouple consisting of a vocalist called Christa Belle and a producer/programmer named Warren who calls himself War-N. Unfortunately, they are no longer a couple, and technically also no longer a band. However, War-N has still been using Hungry Lucy's name and social media accounts to announce his new projects with different vocalists.

3	The band's name refers to the ghost story of Havoc House. A young woman Lucy Ryan died there in 1792; according to a psychic who claimed to have channeled her, the ghost of Lucy complained incessantly about being hungry.

16	!!! To trope a king:
17
18	* CoverVersion: Music/DepecheMode's "Blue Dress."
19	* {{Goth}}: The ethereal variety.
20	* IfICantHaveYou: "Could It Be?"
21	--> ''It's clear to me\
22	If I can't have you\
23	No one can\
24	And no one will''
25	* IJustWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: "Rainfall" plays with this.
26	--> ''Behind a wall there is a boy\
27	I've tried to reach for many years\
28	Each time it rains I see his face\
29	I offer shelter, he walks away\
30	May you have brighter tomorrows\
31	The past you had was shrouded in deceit\
32	May you be eternally beautiful\
33	The way you are, the way you are\
34	To me''
35	** The lyrics "Now when it rains / I can’t see his face / I am weak / And I have failed" imply that maybe the narrator shouldn't have left the suicidal boy who she was in love with, or rather allowed him to leave her.
36	* LyricalDissonance: Most of Hungry Lucy's songs. Christa Belle's ethereal-sounding soprano voice only makes the effect creepier.
37	* PerkyGoth: Several reviews have referred to Christa Belle as one of these.
38	* YouAreNotAlone: "Stretch."
39	--> ''Why not be happy\
40	With the things you have done\
41	Why not be satisfied\
42	You're not the only one\
43	...\
44	Stretch out and be brave\
45	You have your life to live\
46	Love surrounding you\
