Gus Dapperton - Post Humorous

Copied!

{verse 1}
Old friend
It's me and you again
And old boy
As me and you rejoice
Yeah, i can’t help thinkin' 'bout the way we joked
In those funeral homes, yeah, i could only hope it was appropriate

{refrain}
So make me laugh
As for my last request
If i don’t take it back
Would you ignore my last request?
Oh, would you make me laugh?
As for my last request
Babe, i won't make it back
Yeah, i am sure there's nothing left

{chorus}
But as a, a reminder
Ready when you find her
I repress the iridescence of a fire
And won't you mind him?
Steady when you find him
I confess the incandescence of a dying light
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Consume me through the night

{verse 2}
Old man
I'm done always abiding by the plan
And old boy
We knew you really never had a choice
But i can't help thinkin' 'bout the way we loved
I was cancer then, now i can hardly come to terms
Losing her

{refrain}
So would you make me laugh?
As for my last request
Babe, i won’t make it back
Yeah, i am sure there’s nothing left

{chorus}
But as a, a reminder
Ready when you find her
I repress the iridescence of a fire
And won't you mind him?
Steady when you find him
I confess the incandescence of a dying light
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Consume me through the night
Oh-oh, oh-oh (oh)

{bridge}
If i was the king of the thing then you could have it all
If you lied and called me your queen then you could have the dogs
If i was the swingingest thing then you could have a ball
Show me one more effort, boy, you know that i could make it better
If i was the king of the thing then you could have it all
If you lied and called me your queen then you could have the dogs
And if i was the only thing you couldn’t bear to lose
I'd set fire to the wood just so you wouldn't have to bury me too

{outro}
A reminder
Ready when you find her
I repress the iridescence of a fire
And won't you mind him?
Steady when you find him
I confess the incandescence of a dying light
A reminder
Ready when you find her
I repress the iridescence of a fire
And won’t you mind him?
Steady when you find him
I confess the incandescence of a dying light
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Consume me through the night
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Consume me through the night

Dapperton began making his own music after winning a songwriting contest in the eighth grade and then eventually released his first single “Moodna, Once With Grace” in 2016. He gained traction when his singles “I’m Just Snacking” and “Prune, You Talk Funny” went viral on YouTube in 2017 and he has dropped a project every year from then to 2020 with his debut album Where Polly People Go to Read. coming out in 2019.

Dapperton specialises in genre-bending music that contradicts itself and defies the norm and he describes himself as “a producer first and foremost”. Sonically, he often juxtaposes sunny-sounding beats with eccentric lyrics that discuss saddening themes and showcase his diverse vocals that range from velvety to gravelly.
In an interview with Another Man, he said:

There’s nothing I’m really trying to achieve except for making music to help myself, and sharing that with listeners…
