Take is a name of at least four … Read Full Bio ↴(For the Korean boy band, see 테이크.)
Take is a name of at least four other artists:
[1] A pseudonym Los Angeles, CA, USA, based composer Thomas Wilson (aka Sweatson Klank), who continues to push the boundaries of instrumental hip-hop music into new directions. After multiple successful EP's under his belt, Take finally unleashed his début full length player in 2007, Earthtones and Concrete. This music is nothing short of an epic journey with continuously evolving collages that lead the listener down a dust covered road of bit-crushed melodies and molested jazz samples. Songs coated in emotion and rich in cinematic quality who’s auras’ retain the heavy burden of urban streets. The 30 years-old multi-instrumentalist/DJ/producer describes his music as "rooted in hip-hop but on a spaceship headed for a new and better place... somewhere out there". After studying music engineering and composition at The Evergreen State College in Washington, Take returned to Los Angeles to dive in and focus solely on music. In the last several years, he has composed and produced multiple 12" EPs and remixes for labels such as ButterMilk, Poobah Records, Astro Lab, Eat Concrete and more. He also recently completed scoring original music for New Line Cinema’s King of Kong and Clint Eastwood: A Life in Film. Also, Take joined with the Dublab family for which he regularly delivers mixes and DJ sets. Take has long been at the centre of an ever growing scene of talented musicians/producer/DJs in the Los Angeles area. As a co-founder of the legendary beat showcase night Sketchbook, he has fine crafted his DJ sets for the last 10 years and also adapted his own compositions for an interesting live performance. Using a laptop, synths, samplers, guitar pedals and any gadget available to re-create his music, Take’s live sets strive to be more than just a guy staring at a laptop. He is also currently working with producer/keyboardist Black Monk to bring even more interaction into the live setting, aiming to eventually have an interchangeable group of musicians and producers performing these songs. Take has been fortunate enough to share the stage, whether DJing or performing live, with artists including: Prefuse 73, Mos Def, Daedelus, Caural, Nobody, Ammoncontact, Scienz of Life, Flying Lotus, Ta'raach and edIT.

[2] A Las Vegas, NV, USA, hardcore / metal band. Their lyrics send positive and honest messages to their fan base and contain strong political stands / beliefs.
[3] A Denver, CO, USA, garage / punk / synth / dance music project, with intense image-driven lyrics taking on politics, philosophy, religion, money, war, fear and the way people treat each other. Their eponymous first album was released in 2009. Take's dedication to the craft of songwriting, their multi-layered arrangements, and their frenetic live shows make them one of the few bands whose energy, appeal, and cultural relevance are equally matched. Band members are Erich Auber (guitars, synth, programming, bass, vocals), Adam Arscott (bass, guitars, synth, vocals) and Jesse Livingston (vocals, synth, guitars).

Always In My Heart
Take Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dress in normal clothes and I don't try to disguise
I'm looking out for love however it may seem
I never do return in the always winning team
Maybe I should try to live alone,
Or raise the flag of mercy to unknown
Maybe I should run and hide away
Another crack in my heart,
Another picture on the wall
Another way to spend an evening
When there's no one there at all
Another kiss to say goodbye,
Another cross upon a chart
Another suitcase at the door
Another crack in my heart
In my heart
I had my spills and thrills of love
And held it in my hand
I held on tight until it broke
And I crashed to the ground
Love cannot be on my side
It's clearer every dull
That every time I reach for love
It always runs away
Maybe I should try to live alone,
Or raise the flag of mercy to unknown
Maybe I should run and hide away
Until another day
Another crack in my heart,
Another picture on the wall
Another way to spend an evening
When there's no one there at all
Another kiss to say goodbye,
Another cross upon a chart
Another suitcase at the door
Another crack in my heart
In my heart
The song "Another Crack In My Heart" by Take That seems to be about a man who has been struggling with love. It seems that he has been unsuccessful in finding true love and has suffered multiple heartbreaks. He speaks of himself as just one man with his one pair of eyes and how he never returns in the always-winning team. This suggests that he has been unsuccessful in finding love and feels like he is always left behind.
He then considers living alone or running away until another day as he is tired of facing constant heartbreak. However, he acknowledges that love cannot be on his side and every time he reaches out for it, it always runs away. The man seems to be worn out and tired of searching for love as each pursuit has only resulted in another crack in his heart.
The song is relatable to anyone who has faced heartbreak and struggling to find love. It paints a realistic picture of how love can be a constant battle for some people, and they may feel like giving up at times. Overall, the song's melancholic tone and meaningful lyrics are a perfect mix that portrays a sense of sadness and longing for something unattainable.

I am just one man with his one pair of eyes
I am an ordinary person with limited perspective.
I dress in normal clothes and I don't try to disguise
I don't try to be someone I'm not.
I'm looking out for love however it may seem
I'm seeking love in all its forms.
I never do return in the always winning team
I tend to be unsuccessful in love.
Maybe I should try to live alone,
Perhaps being alone is better for me.
Or raise the flag of mercy to unknown
Or maybe I should reach out to unknown people for help.
Maybe I should run and hide away
Maybe I should escape and hide from the world.
Another crack in my heart,
Yet another emotional damage.
Another picture on the wall
Another reminder of my past.
Another way to spend an evening
Another pastime to fill up my loneliness.
When there's no one there at all
When there's nobody to share my time with.
Another kiss to say goodbye,
Another farewell to love.
Another cross upon a chart
Another failed attempt at love.
Another suitcase at the door
Another sign of my departure.
In my heart
In my emotions and feelings.
I had my spills and thrills of love
I had experienced the highs and lows of love.
And held it in my hand
And I held it tightly.
I held on tight until it broke
I tried too hard until it fell apart.
And I crashed to the ground
And I suffered the painful consequences.
Love cannot be on my side
I seem to be unable to find love.
It's clearer every dull
It's becoming increasingly apparent.
That every time I reach for love
That my attempts at finding love always fail.

One of the best damn vocalists to ever walk the face of the earth and we didn’t appreciate this brother in his prime and now we need his kind of vocals along with real R&B

Funny they gave Usher the album he was supposed to have.

Trill 5pill remember! Despite the fact that Tevin Campbell has hit songs, the industry was looking for singers who had more “sex appeal,” this is where artists like usher and ginuwine began to be the more prominent artists! But for my money! I miss old school vocalists like Johnny Gill, Tevin Campbell & Gerald levert !
