about

On November 3rd I'll be releasing a song called "Take a Bow" this song has become a flashpoint in my career. It marks a change not just working with exciting new talented people but also a reset in terms of my relationship to music.

This song taught me so much, to find peace in gratitude, to trust myself, and most importantly that art that feels urgent, that flows freely from some place greater than myself, is every artist's dream. It's that vision that I hope "Take a Bow", in its final form, represents. 

It released with a music video on November 3rd and I would seriously appreciate it if you took a second to pre-save the song to whatever streaming platform you prefer. 



Thanks so much, Des 

lyrics

It's okay
If today
You don't have the laundry folded
And dinner is a cold mess
You're still
Her 21st-century man
It's alright
If tonight
You're not selling out arenas
No one's calling you a genius
Jesus Christ
Is that what you require?
Is this thing
That you love
Killing you slowly
Then it’s time to close the curtains there’s no shame
Is setting this circus a flame
Cause better ones
Greater ones
Have been lit up with desire
To be thrown into the fire
Take a bow
Before you too go out
One day you will want out
But there won't be a door
If she's waiting on you
Then maybe it’s time
To take a bow (bow)
Take a Bow
Take a bow (bow)
Take a Bow
Take a bow
Take a Bow
Solo
verse 2:
You just want what you're told
Is the picture of a dream
But it's someone else's scene
And still, it keeps you up at night
You feel shame
Oh, such shame
At the thought of facing people
Who you can barely stand
saying goodbye
Letting it all come down
No one’s keeping score
No one but yourself
Take a little time
Cause maybe it’s time
Time
To take a bow (bow)
Take a Bow
Take a bow (bow)
Take a Bow
Take a bow (bow)
Take a Bow
Take a bow (bow)
Bridge:
And I know it's not ideal
It's not what you had in mind
But the price of doing otherwise
Is losing your mind
Take a bow
Take a bow (bow)
Take a bow
Take a bow
Mmhmmm
Take a Bow
