My Favorite Fish

"My Favorite Fish", is a single off Gus Dapperton's debut album, "Where Polly People Go to Read". "My Favorite Fish", was released January 7th, 2019.

Meaning
"My Favorite Fish", is about Gus's relationship with photographer/director Jess Farran. Despite speculation that the title links to the expression "there's plenty of fish in sea", Gus stated it was actually something Jess said to him while they were swimming.

"The video/song means the world to me. The song captures what I feel at the apex of true love as opposed to most of my music which is generally inspired by heartbreak. It is about my girlfriend. The video mostly consists of visual innuendos that mimic the lyrics in the song."

Lyrics
Soft-spoken

Chipper and choking

Jess will lead the way 'cause she can mimic the motions

Off-axis

Sprightly and spastic

She said Jeopardy is fake my love

Live life like it's practice

Back on the sea and the scenery

Back on the blue that I'm speeding through

Doc get to work

I walk and it hurts my knee

Back to the scene and the scenery

Back to the blue that i see in you

I'm just for the night

But it was nice to meet

Soft-spoken

Chipper and choking

Jess will lead the way 'cause she can mimic the motions

Off-axis

Sprightly and spastic

She said Jeopardy is fake my love

Live life like it's practice

Back on the week and the weekly

Back on the shoot where I'm seeing you

Doc get to work

I talk and it hurts my teeth

Back to the dream and the dreamily

Back to the who that I'm speaking to

I broke through the night

So you were nice to me

Soft-spoken

Chipper and choking

Jess will lead the way 'cause she can mimic the motions

Off-axis

Sprightly and spastic

She said Jeopardy is fake my love

Live life like it's practice

You're my favorite fish

You're my favorite

I don't usually fall in love

I'm not used to fa-la-la-la

You're my favorite fish

You're my favorite

I don't usually fall in love

I'm not used to fa-la-la-la

Soft-spoken

Chipper and choking

Jess will lead the way 'cause she can mimic the motions

Off-axis

Sprightly and spastic

She said Jeopardy is fake my love

Live life like it's practice

Soft-spoken (My favorite fish)

Chipper and choking (My favorite fish)

Jess will lead the way (My favorite fish) 'cause she can mimic the motions

Off-axis (My favorite fish)

Sprightly and spastic (My favorite fish)

She said Jeopardy is fake my love (My favorite fish)

Live life like it's practice
