Lyrics: See the killer was a coward Dark deeds in dark towers So he fled when they came Blowin' brass, carrying chains They wanna lock him in the dark They wanna kill what's in his heart But they left the town to hunt him down They left one man to hold it down But when they get back he's in the throne Looks like the killers fucking clone Says he's got ideas of his own But there's one thing he killed to know See there's a hero in the crowd And his heart starts beating loud Says the killer took his friend And decides that this is where it ends So the night the kings walk in the tower His eyes lit up with all the power And the hero is ghosting by the guards And his heart is carrying a charge He stabs him in his cunning heart The scream tore sea and sky apart So you want fears? We still got several At least the killer's dancing with the devil And the hero did it For days when you don't know if the moon will ever come, let it Blaze down and I'm telling you man it's sweet when it does and when I Think of you I think of spirit defined I think of all the love that we shared at a very dark time So the hero did it for the summer For long days with that sun in your hair For fires and family For the phrase "Don't ever leave me" The sorrow won't be finding me no more! (x3) When youre coming home now The sorrow won't be finding me no more! (x3) When youre coming home now
He is, without a doubt, one of the most talented artists out there. I've been to 2 shows in the States and planning on a trip to Dublin this spring to catch him there. The power in his voice..it's life changing.
Is it just me or does the fact that this song is not on Spotify make it all the more uniquely great. This song is amazing the lyrics are insanely good not just words but mini puzzles and poems that are hard to breakdown and fully understand, we all have one thing in common here, when we think of this song its this version we wanna hear...the killer was a coward 🖤
@@ausgam I didn't say redo. I said work with country. Can did a beautiful french song and I think he could do really well working with her. Where did you get where I said redo?
I cannot control my emotions, the tears, the way his words touch me. My daughter and I have spent countless nights, up til dawn, listening to Dermot, watching him as he relays his stories, his experiences, his raw feelings to us through such heart-felt, honest lyrics. You, Dermot, have made us celebrate, forgive, heal, love, cry, feel, find strength, etc. Thank you! Thank you for the gifts you have given me and Heidi!!! We love you! #diehards #truedefinitionofgifted #
You are just absolutely INCREDIBLE. I have never listened to an artist (who has so little songs as you do) soooo many times. Every time I listen to your songs they make me feel something I have never felt before. Thank you
Happy 3 year anniversary to this masterpiece of a performance!!! Everything about this song is gut-wrenchingly beautiful! The lyrics The softness of the acoustic guitar vs. the power and emotion in his voice This song, this video, this performance has gotten me through a really tough time I watch it at least 10 times a day. It makes me feel sad but hopeful, all at the same time It makes me feel things deep in my soul that I didnt even know I needed to feel Thank you Dermot for sharing your art with us ~Sorrow won't be finding me no more~
The hero did it ....for the phrase Dont Ever Leave Me...😢😫😫😫 waterworks when I heard that - outta nowhere !! . He weaves a tale of corruption murder and powerlust... with the hero becoming a killer ...in order to Save Love, Virtue and beauty🤯... all in
Been listening to dermot for a while now and it struck me very early on that this guy is first and foremost, a poet. And second, a singer/songwriter. How this guy isn't up there alongside the likes of Ed Sheeran is beyond me. For one hes a ten times better singer than Ed and also a better poet/songwriter
This song speaks to my heart on so many levels. It reminds me of my brother. It's beautiful. When you understand the loss of the heart you want to save this song takes a whole new meaning. Please keep writing and don't ever stop. You will be a legend. You shine brighter than the stars, serenade like waves crashing on the ocean, and soothe my soul like the wind on my face.
Ty Dermot! Your music is helping healing my soul, heart, body and spirit! You have such a pure soul with a golden heart! Big love bro❤ Pitty your tour is over in Europe. Saw you in Brussel. You are so special! Dreams blossoms in time
My God I am blown away by the passion in which you sing your amazing lyrics. I literally feel something, I get emotional every time I listen. My daughter and I stay up late, til wee hours in the morning listening to you. I am super excited to see you in St. Louis, MO March 16, 2020. I just have to "experience' Dermot live!!! I can't stop listening! I don't have a favorite!! How could anyone pick?? I am 51 years old and I have loved music all of my life, and all forms of music from country to the latest top 40, from Janis Joplin and Rush to Marvin Gaye and Zepplin!!! But you, my friend, YOU, I feel your music from deep within my SOUL. Please don't stop doing what you do!!! You are a genius at your craft! #Dermotkennedy #bestmusic #speaktomysoul
I found you surfing through song late one night and by the time the song ended I needed to hear everything that you had made! Never been disappointed once....your voice, your guitar playing and most importantly your lyrics are so moving. Thanks for sharing it!
I love that he's made it big time now. Headlining a world tour. I can't wait till he comes to Winnipeg Canada. I drove 14 hours last summer to see him open for Shawn Mendes. Stayed for him and few songs of Shawn and then left. So pumped for him and his tour! :) :)
Please put this on Spotify. Please? I mean it's an amazing story and song. I think the world would love it, and I want to add it to my Dermot playlists.
See the killer was a coward Dark deeds in dark towers So he fled when they came Blowing brass, carrying chains They wanna lock him in the dark They wanna kill what's in his heart And they left the town to hunt him down And they left one man to hold it down But when they get back he's in the throne Looks like the killer's fucking clone Says he's got ideas of his own But there's one thing he'd kill to know See there's a hero in the crowd And his heart starts beating loud Says the killer took his friend And decides that this is where it ends So at night the king's walking the tower His eyes lit up with all the power But the hero's ghosting by the guards And his heart is carrying a charge He stabs him in his cunning heart The scream tore sea and sky apart So you want fears?

My daughter introduced me to this song. I lost my boy to suicide my kids lost there brother and a part of themselves and security. This song hits me so much x
Ask him I'm sure he will. I'm sure he will as he is playing in his homeland. I aaked him to play Without fear for my birthday @ his Sheffield gig and he did along with Islands and fires
I love ya dude. Your lyrics hit me in my chest. I play your songs around gals that only listen to rap etc. When I play your songs and the gal is hole e shit who is this... That's when I know she is a good woman.
Lyrics:
See the killer was a coward
Dark deeds in dark towers
So he fled when they came
Blowin' brass, carrying chains
They wanna lock him in the dark
They wanna kill what's in his heart
But they left the town to hunt him down
They left one man to hold it down
But when they get back he's in the throne
Looks like the killers fucking clone
Says he's got ideas of his own
But there's one thing he killed to know
See there's a hero in the crowd
And his heart starts beating loud
Says the killer took his friend
And decides that this is where it ends
So the night the kings walk in the tower
His eyes lit up with all the power
And the hero is ghosting by the guards
And his heart is carrying a charge
He stabs him in his cunning heart
The scream tore sea and sky apart
So you want fears? We still got several
At least the killer's dancing with the devil
And the hero did it
For days when you don't know if the moon will ever come, let it
Blaze down and I'm telling you man it's sweet when it does and when I
Think of you I think of spirit defined
I think of all the love that we shared at a very dark time
So the hero did it for the summer
For long days with that sun in your hair
For fires and family
For the phrase "Don't ever leave me"
The sorrow won't be finding me no more! (x3)
When youre coming home now
The sorrow won't be finding me no more! (x3)
When youre coming home now
Fantastic and poetic, thank you
Thank you so much
Did you go to see him at Ilosaarirock, Arttu?
@@mattcu77615 Sadly nope, i was in the army during that time. I was bummed out, might go see him in Stockholm this year tho.
You'd love another Irish artist called Foy Vance another brilliant songwriter
This man saved my life, saved me from myself and my thoughts, he ripped me out of darkness with his words and voice. He is truly a gift
Same here my guy! Same here!
Same. Same. Same. Glad you found your way out, too! 🖤
Same here ❤️
same brother. glad you’re well mate.
Me too ❤️
He is, without a doubt, one of the most talented artists out there. I've been to 2 shows in the States and planning on a trip to Dublin this spring to catch him there. The power in his voice..it's life changing.
I'm planning to see him next week in Oakland, California. It will be my first time seeing him live. Every song makes me teary.
Good taste
I've yet to hear a song of his I dont like. This bloke is pure talent.
Anyone here since he announced today that Killer was going to be released officially?
But I think it will be released in a new "band" version, not in this brilliant acoustic, powerful setting!
I hope its acoustic like this, Id also love to get a version of without fear like the old one!
Is it just me or does the fact that this song is not on Spotify make it all the more uniquely great. This song is amazing the lyrics are insanely good not just words but mini puzzles and poems that are hard to breakdown and fully understand, we all have one thing in common here, when we think of this song its this version we wanna hear...the killer was a coward 🖤
this is the version that we all want. A remix/redone would be difficult to swallow.
@@ausgam I didn't say redo. I said work with country. Can did a beautiful french song and I think he could do really well working with her. Where did you get where I said redo?
Hes added it to his extended album!
Big man had the balls to curse in church. This dude is the shit👍🏼
Please never delete this vid
You can find the whole nite (audio) here on my blog for downloading:
niko-records.blogspot.com
all of his music sounds so cinematic... Like I see so many Disney movies ... He's an incredibly talented writer.
the parallels between this song and for island fires and family😱❤❤
Got me through hard times this guy so talented
I've been listening to this for two years now, and all I'm gonna say is THIS SONG HAD TO BE ON THE ALBUM, DERMOT, love u tho
Itzel Oh man, same. Was waiting with baited breath to see if it made the cut. 😫
@@DLopez1983 same
His voice is absolutely magical.
Who the heck ever clicks "dislike" on his videos?! Every single one is magic.
I’ve watched this hundreds of time, but it hits different on a Tuesday morning as it starts to rain outside
I cannot control my emotions, the tears, the way his words touch me. My daughter and I have spent countless nights, up til dawn, listening to Dermot, watching him as he relays his stories, his experiences, his raw feelings to us through such heart-felt, honest lyrics.

Not sure why he's not on the radio in Australia. Most of the mainstream music today is a joke. This guy is better than everyone in the top 100
Music with substance isn't highly regarded unfortunately.
Yeah. Most of the music here is shit. You don't hear guys like Dermot or Ben Howard here. Thank the nerds for utube.
A Dermot + Ben Howard colab or concert would kill me, and I would die very, very happy
Just saw Dermot and Ben together in New York. Amazing
Was so proud to see him on the hottest 100 this year ! Hopefully he just gets higher and higher every time 😊
You are just absolutely INCREDIBLE. I have never listened to an artist (who has so little songs as you do) soooo many times. Every time I listen to your songs they make me feel something I have never felt before. Thank you
Happy 3 year anniversary to this masterpiece of a performance!!!

The lyrics

This song, this video, this performance has gotten me through a really tough time
I watch it at least 10 times a day.
It makes me feel sad but hopeful, all at the same time
It makes me feel things deep in my soul that I didnt even know I needed to feel
Thank you Dermot for sharing your art with us
~Sorrow won't be finding me no more~
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.
Absolutely 💯 amazing 👏 again beautiful song 🎵 love it. THANKS Dermot 👏 😊 🫂 🙏 👏
Amen ☘️
He is quite an amazing artist and a beautiful song writer. His music isn’t forced. It’s real and emotional. Truly Gifted.
I'd love to hear more!!! I love to smile!!!

How have I only just found this??
Real music absolutely beautiful
One of my favorite songs. Really hope it makes the album. I listen to it here every day.
Lauren Sawyer Same. Same.

See the killer was a coward
Dark deeds in dark towers
So he fled when they came
Blowing brass, carrying chains
They wanna lock him in the dark
They wanna kill what's in his heart
And they left the town to hunt him down
And they left one man to hold it down
But when they get back he's in the throne
Looks like the killer's fucking clone
Says he's got ideas of his own
But there's one thing he'd kill to know
See there's a hero in the crowd
And his heart starts beating loud
Says the killer took his friend
And decides that this is where it ends
So at night the king's walking the tower
His eyes lit up with all the power
But the hero's ghosting by the guards
And his heart is carrying a charge
He stabs him in his cunning heart
The scream tore sea and sky apart
So you want fears? We still got several
At least the killer's dancing with the devil
The hero did it for days
When you don't know if the moon'll even come
And then it lays down
And I'm telling you, man, it's sweet when it does
And when I think of you I think of spirit define
I think of all the love we shared in a very dark time
So the hero did it for the summer
For long days with that sun in your hair
For fires and family
For the phrase "don't ever leave me"
Sorrow won't be finding me no more
Sorrow won't be finding me no more
Sorrow won't be finding me no more
When you're coming home now
Sorrow won't be finding me no more
Sorrow won't be finding me no more
Sorrow won't be finding me no more
When you're coming home now
This is amazing.
Beautiful!
Ooh I hope this will be released on Spotify!! Its such a beautiful and great song! This, and Dermots version of "The parting glass"..!
My daughter introduced me to this song. I lost my boy to suicide my kids lost there brother and a part of themselves and security. This song hits me so much x
Omg...shivers...
Amazing song, unreal artist. mon the Dermot up the Irish
