Starting out as a hip-hop producer at the age of 13, Dapperton made the switch to his current sound after a serious hospitalisation and the failure of his laptop.
Pairing infectious, nostalgia-laden tunes with high-concept filmclips, lauded for their high-concept cinematic execution, has proven to be a recipe for success. Blowing up through 2017, with two EPs dropped, and fans and the press alike taking notice, Dapperton's future looks bright.
Moodna Once with Grace
Gus Dapperton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why won't you open up your wings, The more I hope for trust
This day I search upon the storm, Woah
She told me all my worth is warm
Woah, where I lay I'll wait for you
Woah, stuck and stray, I'll wait for you
Oh no, woah I'm blind, girl I mayLove, If you hold my hand with grace
I miss your golden grin, now love is lost in search for him
I wish for cold these flames would smolder, peace runs awfully thin
Under my skin, woah
I seek to Live, woah
Woah, where I lay I'll wait for you
Woah, stuck and stray, I'll wait for you
Oh no, woah I'm blind, girl I may
Love, If you hold my hand with grace
Love
Love
Love, Woah
Oh, Love
Love, Woah
Oh, Love
(Gus, we need to talk. I'm just not happy anymore. I'm sorry)
In "Moodna, Once with Grace," Gus Dapperton sings about the loss of love and trust, questioning his own ability to maintain a fulfilling relationship. He opens with the imagery of a rose, which is traditionally associated with love and romance, before admitting he has lost his touch. The chorus repeats the phrase "Where I lay, I'll wait for you," conveying a sense of longing and desperation, as if he is willing to wait forever for his lost love's return, despite feeling stuck and blind in his search.
The second verse again expresses a desire to find peace and love, but admits that it is running thin. He hopes that his love will come back and hold his hand, again emphasizing the theme of trust and companionship. The spoken outro serves as a devastating realization that the relationship is over, and that the once cherished moments are a thing of the past.
Overall, "Moodna, Once with Grace" is bittersweet and introspective, exploring the complex emotions of lost love and the struggle to find it again. The poetic lyrics, combined with Gus Dapperton's dreamy soundscapes, create a haunting and emotional listening experience.
