With the new album, Sonder, Dermot Kennedy admits he’s never related to a word more. Sonder, “the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own,” encapsulates universal themes of love, loss & hope, with the platinum-selling artist evolving into an even more expressive and powerful storyteller
LYRICS
How it must feel to be a bird
Roaming lonely over sea air
How it must feel to be a bird
London, Paris underneath
I'll wait on my own here
And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry
And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you loved me
She's bringing the moon and stars to me
Damn permanent reverie
And even though this life, this love is brief
I've got some people who carry me
Wasn't it love as soon as we knew each other properly?
Living 'bout half right, until a certain person got to me
Nothing is secret, everything's sacred, How it ought to be
Under the moonlight on a clear night, on rooftops is where I want to be
Sometimes I'm like a child, It's something I can't release
Dreams of her coming home, sweet home
I'm telling you home's so sweet
Said you reminded me of the summer times, and I still mean that
In a full room I'm the only one she's smiling at
So wouldn't you let me know if you were thinking less of me?
That's what she asked me what was promised what we both agreed
But truthfully if you ever go, you'll drop me straight to Hell's 7th circle
And I was talking with you earlier
We were open and vulnerable, it was wonderful
I, I used to dream that you would talk to me
I used to dream that you would talk to me
And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry
And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you loved me
She's bringing the moon and stars to me
Damn permanent reverie
And even though this life, this love is brief
I've got some people who carry me
You know that feeling when you think your heart is gonna come right out through your shirt?
I get it a couple times a year but I've been getting it more often with her
Now when I'm face to face with death I'll grab his throat
And ask him, "how does it hurt?"
Up in those golden moments growing old too quickly
Was he thinking of her?
But she's bringing the moon and the stars to me
Damn permanent reverie
And even though this life, this love is brief
I've got some people who carry me - เพลง
This song makes me long for a place I've never been and a person I've never met, if that makes any sense.
it does.
Lisa Nicole u mean it makes u miss people you dont know and memories u never had ?
@@davidfeller1855 Yes. I want to feel the way he describes feeling in this song. I don't think I've ever felt that way about somebody or had somebody feel that strongly about me. What a connection. It's a beautiful song.
Absolutely.
There is even a word for this - fernweh (german) which is a feeling homesick for a place you have never been to
Dermot Kennedy does not sing song's, he delivers stories packed with emotions, unbelievable to witness and feel, don't ever change DK
You absolutely nailed it there with what you said... couldn't agree more. This man touches your soul x
100% 😍
YES 🤯🤯🤯
Donkey Kong!!??!?!
God please don't change. Songs that hit you at your core!!! ❤️❤️❤️
This song is what Ireland feels like for me. Somewhere inside longing and gratitude.
from an instagram live: "this is a song i wrote a long time ago and it's kind of about if there's a place or even somebody or somewhere you'd wanna be if you were having a really bad day or if you just weren't feeling so good. i know for me it's a place off the west of Ireland that i actually haven't been to in too long but yeah, i feel like everybody's got one. so this song is called For Island Fires and Family."
Wonder which Island he's talking about? One of the Aran Islands?
@@KevinBrady92 ireland
@@KevinBrady92 the Island he's on is called Inis Mhor, it's one of the Aran Islands
This is music! Nothing gives me goosebumps and chills like Dermot’s voice. We are so lucky to have this guy in music today. Go see him before he gets too big, because it’s happening right now! Shhh! He’s our little secret!
Nothing prepared me for how good he is live. One of, if not THE best I have ever seen, astonishing.
My wife and I keep saying this. He's about to blow up! We were suppose to see him in Detroit last summer @mopop but we had to cancel. Would have loved to see him at a small venue in his beginnings.
@@meangreenhatch1 I know! He gets around 5 million monthly views on Spotify. His concerts are allways fully booked.
I was lucky enough to find him at the of 2017. I got tickets for Oslo in January 2018. The venue held no more than 250 people in an old church-esque building. The setting was perfect. His voice is so raw and I worried mike dean would over produce. Thankfully he highlighted the abilities Dermot seems to have established from his busking days. Diamonds take the longest to form, hopefully nothing is rushed from him.
@@danbax76 Agreed, one of the few artists I've seen who sounds exactly the same live as he does here. Even better in a small venue because his voice carries through the whole place.
So many pass each other on the street and don't realise we all have these feelings. These hopes. These memories. We are all deep wells.

Honestly the best part - "when I come face to face with death, I'll grab his throat and ask him how does it hurt"
Hits you in the feels man
“Up in those golden moments growing old too quickly, was he thinking of her”
Every time
It's so good that I got a tattoo symbolizing the lyrics. ❤
You know that feelin' when you think your
heart is gonna come right out through your shirt?
Get it a couple times a year....
especially when listen to Dermot Kennedy
I started to get it alot this year, but never knew what it was, this song defined it, so beautiful, glad I came across this 😊
Does the song also mean that she was drowned in the sea by some one ? Or did she jump off the cliffs in the sea ??
But she's bringing the moon and stars to me... Damn permanent reverie...
I remember passing this guy busking on Grafton Street going to and from work all the time. Id now pay to watch him in concert. Fair play to him, hes done well. What a beautiful song.
Hi beautiful ❤️
“I used to dream that you would talk to me”
Sebas Knieriem 😍
That one hits me so hard evertime..
Same here
My life in one sentence
Sebas Knieriem So many emotions in those lyrics
I didnt know what goosebumps were until this lad came along jesus
You've never been cold?
go listen to his colors performance, its phenominal. Its what got me hooked.
Haha
I didn't know what goosebumps were until this lad came along Jesus
Yes becky
His voice touches deepest place in my heart
His music and voice touches my soul!! No one person nor thing has ever nor probably ever will! Idk how but it's the facts!!
"...In a crowded room, I'm the only one she smiles at..."
This song is deep, in its own way.
"... You know that feeling when you think your heart is going to come out of your chest?..."☝🏼🤩🤗💙🎶📱🎧🎶💜🤩🤗🌹🌹🌹🌹👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
“Even tho this life this love is brief I got some people that carry me”
Oh Ireland!!! Why do you have to be so beautiful?
My 2019 resolution was to stop crying at work but there we go
His music is deep just makes me you think future and past
oh my. same.
When you read a comment that is your exact moment in time. 😭
Girl don't hold back your tears. It'll make you sick, like actually sick.

Dermot, this song fills my heart with happiness and sadness at the same time, it makes me think of my fiance who passed away, all the things we said and didn't say. It also makes me think of all those who helped me through that loss. I miss him terribly
I’m so sorry for your loss. 😞♥️
Dermot Kennedy ❤❤❤
This is the sound of autumn, cozy blankets, forest walks surrounded by the beauty of nature, the vibrant orange colors of the falling leaves, and the crunchy sound when you walk through piles of them on the ground, cozy nights in with the sound of rain on the windows, the smell of freshly baked bread, the feeling of a dog lying beside you, candlelights and a movie with your loved ones, and lastly,it's the sound of home ❤🍁
I love how he posts the lyrics.
Dermot, you’ll gain 10 points for Gryffindor for this.
hi Profesor
Only 10 points!????
Hahahaha
You’re sure he’s a gryffindor?
Haha you're amazing ok, love this comment🤣👌❤
Always listened to the acoustic version, but my goodness this was an experience. Sensational talent.
This is poetry, a journey, a vision. This is life. What a breath of fresh air this is. He makes art with his voice, painting a picture with his words. Beautiful.
I went to see Dermot last night in Manchester and was ashamed to see so many people not listening, drunk, filming on their phones. We clearly don't deserve what he's delivering
Saw him perform over the weekend and DAMN!! Such a passionate and absolutely amazing show.
I was bummed this song wasn't on the list, but he delivered 2 hours of amazingness 🙏🙏
Your song reminds me who I am daily, protecting my heart, my loves, my life!!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Second verse is perfection
Beautiful as ever, Dermot. Thanks for making this video.
I feel so lucky to be alive in the same century as you. For centuries past this one, people will listen to you as one of the greats. Your connection to vocals and lyrics is breathtaking and your music is timeless. You're incredible Dermot.
He was great and still is . Forgiveness is the best thing as long as time doesn't repeat it self ✨️ 😌 🙏
So well said. It's amazing how well this entire albums still holds up and will continue to do so.
Wow. I felt my spirit fly and crash to earth at the same time. Made me think of loves lost and hearts i have broken and the love i live now.
Gave me a sense of remorse and hope.
Hard to put into words.
Well done brother...well done.
Home is definitely where the heart is 😊
It's crazy how songs like this makes you feel like talking to your soul
Everytime I listen to him I miss the good Irish live music in pubs. Good friends, a pint of good Guinness and the most amusing voices. Ireland you don't have equals when it comes to live music. But yet you always had this pinch of sadness, even in the most entertaining songs. There was always some sort of sadness hidden between words.
Dermot just can’t make a bad song
“And when I’m face to face with death I’ll grab his throat and ask him how does it hurt” god what a beautiful line
Had the pleasure of seeing him at the Fillmore in San Francisco in November. If you ever get a chance to see this man perform live please don't pass it up. It was hands down one of the most amazing and intimate concerts I've been to.
Lucky, I can't wait for the chance, just discovered him a couple of months ago. THANK GOD.
I feel like I lost something I've never had... I hate this feeling.
I love that feeling though 🤍
"I got some people who will carry me"
Protect what is yours, what is yours? ❤
Just discovered this and boy I’m so glad I did. In literal tears
His songs are stories
I came across you on this very comment section of George strait.his music have saved so many people from the trauma and difficult times in their lives and not just that he is a great singer but also an influential man who sing from the heart ❤
My father was a great fan of George strait...he bought so many tickets and have been on several concerts.
George strait is a man with so much honor 🎖 🥇 I don't often listen to country songs but I love this very one.
Are you from the United States?
One of the all time best
When he becomes famous I will tell people I listened to his music back in 2018
Can't stress how much I'm in love with DERMOT KENNEDY 😭
I really want you to gain worldwide fame, because you absolutely deserve it, but for now I'll just enjoy how you are my little secret sanctuary. Sublime lyrics, beautiful melodies and such soulfull performances! Keep it up Dermot!
Gina Giakoumi oh my god yes!
Worldwide fame, noo!
It's only a matter of time before he's exposed to the world....and rightly so, the guy is flawless
@@macgilli2585 Couldn't agree more! This kind of talent is very rare these days. He is indeed flawless and I hope he gets the recognition he deserves.
He just visited Australia where he played at Falls Festival and 4 sold out side shows. I'd say he's getting there.
P.S. He was amazing live.
Miss family time spent not enough 😢
Secrets are sacred, guess y'all aren't alone anymore wolves 🌹
the "hell, the seventh circle" part man its too good
Jesus Dermo you’ve gone on to be the most amazing youngster I’ve ever met !! Told you had it in you ♥️♥️♥️
Natural, primal, thriving environment.
Another rare jewel found in Ireland.
This man is a modern poet! His music is insane and his lyrics are so moving. I’m so glad I’m stumbled across his music 2 years ago ❤️
“I’ve got some people who carry me” yes youuuuuu Dermot 😭
This song got me missing someone I never met
Started with Power over me. Couple of days later ... Outnumbered and Lost. Now, Young and free. Love everything. Thank you !
I'm crying. It's so beautiful
Anybody else listen to this everyday?
#CONFESSiON__iDO..!!
I do
Me, still.
when this boy sings…I’m as close to heaven as I’ll ever be in my mortal flesh…
❤April 2024…
"Nothing is sceret,
Everythin's sacred,
How it ought to be."
Damn! Permanent Proclivity!
This guy is a genius! Totally in love with his words!
Ireland has away withh porety and words
Same
He is very good with language❤
“So wouldn’t you let me know if you were thinking less of me” 💔😭
i can feel him singing from the deepest of his heart
I'll keep saying it: One of the best songs ever created, hands down, no question about it
I agree!
I think of innocent and wild summers in Chicago w my first love. ❤ driving on the beaches, cops chasing, and us laughing to tears… over 30 yrs ago we still laugh about it. The ppl that shape/impact us no matter how brief the love stays with us our whole lives.
Hello beautiful 👋 can we chat if you don't Mind. I've had difficult times with relationship
We played this song when we drove around San Francisco that day. One hand on the steering wheel and the other holding my heart. I told myself this is what love is supposed to feel like. Damn I thought I got it right. I spent 5, long hard years healing and then he found me. Yesterday he proved that it was a lie. He was cheating the entire time. Living a whole double life. The part that hits the hardest is ‘ so wouldn’t you let me know if you were thinking less of me ‘. We promised each other if we fell out of love and our feelings changed we wouldn’t lead each other on. We know how that went. I was in love with a man that didn’t exist. He wasn’t real. He never loved me. This song always got to me now it’s hitting parts of me I didn’t know were there.
I know that
That's brutal. You will rise again!!
@@UtterSanctions thank you. It’s been almost 5 months now and I feel like I’m finally healing.
A masterpiece, that's all I have to say.
Dermot Kennedy please sing at my wedding ! One song ! I’ll pay whatever you ask !!??
goosebumps all around.... you legend
Cinematography here is absolutely next level. Amazing.
You're music is helping me soooo much right now. Goes right through my soul
Witnessing a legend in the making
No...no...not real!!! This feeling I just had for a few minutes...this just became my fav song of my life!!! Unreal!!!!!!!!! No more words...I could go on for about 5 books about what I felt listening to this song !!!!!!!
When I first heard it I felt the same even now after listening for the millionth time
“We we’re open and vulnerable, it’s was wonderful” oh man the feels! His voice, the lyrics, perfect ❤️
Hello beautiful 👋 can we chat if you don't Mind. I've had difficult times with relationship
A great Artist, with extraordinary Personality and Voice. He will be the next Grammy Awards Winner.
Absolutely take nothing away from billie eilish but she is no were near this man level when it comes to musical talent and took away 5 Grammys so something has gotta give 👍
this song is giving me yet another heartache, i loveeeee

Are you from the United States?
Ok Dermot’s the boss, that’s nothing we didn’t already know.. but what about how beautiful our little island is! 💚🇮🇪
Here in 2021 and I still sit in complete silence absorbing how wonderful this man’s voice is. INCREDIBLE
Awesome mate, nothing more cinematic than our Irish coastline and your music!! The shot you used for thumbnail made me pause the video, epic. Glad to have seen you in a small venue in Edinburgh last year as it wont be long before you're only doing stadiums!
Rosco Creative the liquid room Edinburgh?
Yea mate, have a few shots from it on my Instagram @@borgin2174
I flew up for that gig, do you remember someone shouting “show us your socks dermo!”😂
Fair to say I had a few that day 😂
Rosco creative what a beautiful place you live in. And so lucky to have seen him in person, he has so much talent to show the world.
This is the best one. Touch my soul, my heart, my everything.
''I used to dream that you would talk to me''. I remember that.
I love this song. I like the “ouuuu” “ouuuUUUU” “ouuuweeaahhh” in the very beginning of the song.
Most beautiful voice i have ever herd❤
i used to love this song anyway...but i used to hear it as a love song. my father passed away last week, and now him speaking through your beautiful words & voice. thank you so much for being a healer.
Hozier and Dermot. I’m totally happy with their voices in my head and in my heart
"When I'm face to face with death I'll grab his throat and ask him, "How does it hurt?"
Favorite line in the song. Love you Dermot. Keep doing what you're doing. This is real music.
"In a full room I'm the only one shes smiling at"
This is what a true music artist is. Beautiful voice, beautiful lyrics, beautiful story. With all the cardi b and Halsey going around it’s nice to find a hidden gem like this.
Hello beautiful 👋 can we chat if you don't Mind. I've had difficult times with relationship 🙏
'and I couldn't tell you enough that i'm sorry.' damn. All the words in this song are gorgeous, it sounds like poetry.
Literally i cant pic my favorite verse in any of his songs.
Idfc if you get in trouble at work. Put both headphones in rn😤
This isn't the most popular song of Dermot but I definitely love it. It gives me the peace that no other songs has ever done.
A couple of months back, I was talking with someone I really want to be with... describing the kind of music I like. He told me to go listen to this song. Even if nothing ever comes of it, it’s one of my favorite moments. And now it has a video. Thank you. 💕
Maggie Mae excuse me...can I have an update? 🙃
We all think of a certain person everytime we hear this song.
Listening to his songs, feels like time standing still.
This man. My goodness. I cannot get enough of him. Much love from Texas!
Why this song is so underrated😞 it's just so beautiful song 😭💖
Love from France 🇫🇷👽
Pure nostalgia and longing feels
Certainly has the most beautiful voice.
His voice along with the lyrics and the images put a hole in my chest. So much beauty!
I've literally been listening to this song all day long but, for some reason right now at 12:56am, I am crying my eyes out and I can't figure out why
I found this song three years ago driving from my father's funeral......I get something different from each time I listen to and I too am often left in tears. I absolutely love this song but am still baffled on the meaning of it or who it's for.
