The title
Desiderata: Latin for things desired. What we wish for, wait for, sometimes miss. The album lives in the gap between what we want and what life actually delivers.
DESIDERATA explores the contradictions of love, the distance between desire and reality, and the compromises people make with themselves and one another. Moving between French songwriting, melodic pop-rock and atmospheric compositions, Quentin Piepszownik creates a personal collection of songs about the beautiful imperfections of being human.
