I guess lots of people only know DEXYS (previously named Dexys Midnight Runners) from their giant 1982 hit Come On Eileen (more than 806 million streams on Spotify), but the now 72-year-old mastermind Kevin Rowland has done so much more in his 52 years in the music biz.

The most recent Dexys album The Feminine Divine, came out in 2023. A masterly crafted record featuring a song called MY SUBMISSION, one of the best love ballads I ever heard.

Happy Valentine.

[Verse 1]
And I will worship and adore
In every way
And I will do as you will

[Chorus]
Oh I’m yours
I crave your smile
And I always will
You, you, you are everything
You, you, you are my world
And I, I will give you all you want and more, so please

[Verse 2]
Now you own me
I’m trusting all to you
I’m scared, but I’m excited
You could disown me if you choose
And leave me completely alone
I’m trusting all to you
You have the power now
I hope you will look after me and I will be your pet, to do with as you will

[Chorus]
Oh, I’m yours
I crave your smile
And I, always will
You, you, you are everything
You, you, you are my world
And I, I, I’ll dedicate my life to serving you
