Shawn Bosco Fernandes (born January 12, 1982), better known by his stage name Shawn Desman, is a Canadian pop/R&B singer, songwriter, dancer, television personality, and actor of Portuguese descent. He is signed to Universal Music Canada.
Shawn Desman attended St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School in Toronto where he took part in many talent shows and events. In 1998, Shawn Fernandes was in the Boomtang Boys video for their song "Squeezetoy" as a dancer. He had a few recordings in English and Portuguese under his real name Shawn Fernandes before adopting the name Desman. According to his own account, he adopted the name Desman because in his youth his friends referred to him as "Dez, man" - thus creating his artistic pseudonym Desman.
His self-titled breakthrough album in 2002 featured three top ten singles ("Shook", "Spread My Wings" and "Get Ready") on the Canadian charts. The album went on to achieve gold certification in Canada. The single, "Spread My Wings", is a cover of the unreleased male group, Vega, featuring Chilli of TLC.
CHORUS
I feel shook, every time I close my eyes
And travel into the place in the back
of my mind
It's a place, where memories hide
and my thoughts combine
I see places and thousands of faces
all at the same time, now
Look, everybody close your eyes
And travel into that place in the back
of your minds
Now run, to the place
you're afraid to climb
That's where you'll find me
You'll always be two steps behind me
Outside, these streets are cold as ice
Never thought I'd have a chance to
come alive... again
See through Your eyes... again
(It takes me away!)
I've, never wanted in my life, like I did
when I stand under Your sky... again
Try... again
CHORUS
It all unwinds
But gets tangled up in time
When it hits like a train
runnin' through my mind... again
I can hear those lies... again
(It takes me away!)
And I've, never fallen in my life
Like I did when I fell
into Your arms... again
Sound the alarms... again
CHORUS
I can see things clearer, this time
Won't be long now 'till everything's alright
Take my hand, and let's walk into the light
I'm not dying here tonight, we will survive
