I. Can't. Stop. Crying. This man has single handedly dragged me out of heartbreak and depression and taught me how to feel places in my heart I didn't feel existed before. Each song is pure magic. I see him in 8 days in Boston!! Counting down since I bought tickets to the now sold out show. Traveling from Canada, I'm shaking.
I know exactly how you feel so immensely grateful for this music it's opened me up and taught me to feel again after years of heartbreak. Thank you Dermot and crew you have no idea of all that you do x❤️
@@WakaWaka2468 some of the greatest songs ever are only 4 chords. sometimes simplicity and relatable vocals make the most beautiful music. The fact that he wrote them himself makes it so much more valuable, he has actual talent unlike most modern "musicians"
Have you seen the colours video of him singing moments past? His voice was especially powerful in that recording, with more than a few people being startled by the strength of his voice right at the start. Someone even commented "I didn't expect to hear god" th-cam.com/video/rK6aMP-c8Gs/w-d-xo.html
I found him through Colors - blew my head clean off. Started the addiction to him... Same with very other one mentioned here tho! This one, Mahogany sessions but the 'Tiny Desk Concert' is outta this world stunning! I read the information underneath today and they couldn't have praised him any more than they did, explaining his plans, actions, his dedication to get the sound they wanted - Flew in early to do rehearsals with the (??) Gospel Choir that he'd managed to get also. EDIT - & Vevo lift. I always wondered why he didn't swear in that one, now makes sense. Seems such a good soul. Like 'Sophie's choice" to pick one...
My age is 65 so I reley on my neices to introduce me to music like this,on the way home from a Jethro Tull concert Tuesday night my niece played me A Closeness I was blown away,since than I cannot stop listening to this very gifted artist I hope more people learn about him. Thank you Dermott for the music
As a pure lover of all music. I appreciate that you went from Jethro Tull to Dermot Ward. It's such a drastic difference and yet the love for music is all the same between the 2.
My wife and I traveled to Ireland in February of 2019 for our 27th anniversary. We were in a small café in Enniscrone(sp?) when Dermot came on the radio. I asked the staff if that was him and if they could turn it up. I'd never heard this particular song before but his voice is distinctive. The staff was happy that an old hick from Arkansas in the States could appreciate great music. And I do.
Whenever I feel like I need comfort I pray and listen to this. I don't know how a man can have such a perfect voice. A guitar and his a voice are enough to make you feel so many emotions at a time.
That growl at minute 13… holy heavens. I’ve seen this man twice perform, met him and got a hug once… each time it was special… Dermot, I’m waiting for you to arrive at my doorstep on one knee any day now my love.. lol
I'd be nervous for him to get too famous... His songs and voice are so raw and true and you feel his emotion in every single note and word. Would never want that to change.
I think this is too pure and transformative for the mainstream. This music changes lives, it helps us process emotions and heal. I think he will have commercial success but I hope he keeps this essence whatever happens.
I feel like the world doesn't deserve such a beautiful treasure. They'll only spoil it and exploid it. I'd like the think that he keeps on making the music he loves and doesn't change just to be listened to by a lot of people
I'm an old man listen to a lot of different music through my life old metal, classic rock,hard core, the Dead,but something about this touches me right.just learning guitar wish I could play some of this.thank you for sharing this talent with us
I've always interpreted the pauses as him remembering and reminiscing on what moved him to write, sing, and play those songs in the first place. E.g: the long pause after Moments Passed to me feels like Dermot is remembering the relationship that originally moved him to make that song. Overall, just amazing music from a hard working artist that pours his heart and soul into every recording and loves every waking moment of it.
This man was born for greatness. I'm glad he sings to us. He makes the world a better place. There's an old saying "we will never see his likeness again". I disagree. Each of us can be that powerful in life. But he's definitely one of my heroes...for whatever that's worth
OMG!!! I've only just discovered Dermott Kennedy and I am SHOOK. I can't even describe how this set made me feel. What a talent, such a powerful, emotional voice. Wow, just wow.
The moment he spoke and I heard his voice I just couldn't control myself, I was crying already. The emotions in his voice are just so... real, raw. Breathtaking. I have no words.
If there was ever a musician to see live it’s this man .. heard him on the radio and although it’s great to hear him mainstream it’s just not the same..... this guy was made to hear AND see at the same time, will be seeing him in London in may literally can’t wait, “when your heart hurts days like today are the antidote” 🙏
He has such a unique sound - raw, strong, and beautiful in his own way. HE is not copying anyone. I just hope that labels don't make him try to be like other artist. I just heard about this artist a few months ago and I was amazed at what I heard. Its beautiful music and its his own.
I went for a pint with Dermot's parents and his girlfriend before one of his Dublin gigs. He's a legend and his family are lovely. As an Irishman and a musician, I'm so proud of his success.
I've discovered him couple of weeks ago (shame on me :) ) and I am a complete fan of his music. He is so underrated, his voice, his passion, the lyrics and feelings that I'm getting each time I listen to his art, makes me become addicted. He should be globally renowned! Amazing live session!
Out of nowhere 12 minutes in i just start fucking crying!? What is this sorcery? I liked the music, wasn't even listening that close to the lyrics. And emotions just start flood through me.. That is serious talent!
How it must feel to be a bird Roamin' lonely over sea air How it must feel to be a bird London, Paris, underneath And I'll wait on my own (Ooh, hmm, ooh) And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you love me But she's bringin' 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? Livin' 'bout half right 'til a certain person got to me Nothin' is secret, everythin'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, that's somethin' I can't release Dreams of her comin' home, sweet home And I'm tellin' you home is so sweet Said you reminded me of the summertime, and I still mean that In a full room, I'm the only one she's smilin' at So wouldn't you let me know if you were thinkin' 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, the 7th circle And I was talkin' 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 love me But she's bringin' 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 feelin' when you think your heart is gonna come right out through your shirt? Get it a couple times a year But I've been gettin' 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, growin' old too quickly Was he thinkin' of her? But she's bringin' 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
I came from a broken family, we get separated by our father since I was 4 years old. Though I came from a broken family and no one stands for us only my mom still God is good to me and to my family because He complete me as whole, He allow me to experience the love of the Greatest Father. And He is the One my Father in Heaven. Though there were time when problem comes I remember how my father left us and I felt some anger to him why he do this to us... and that's why we suffer.. but I realize everything.. I realized that to praise God even in bad times not just on good times.. I realized to worship Him despite of everything and to thank Him though whatever it happens.. I'm maybe a fatherless here in this earth but I have a loving Father and always there beside me that will never leave me nor forsaken me. A Father that will never change His love for me!
From listening to the songs on my radio to hearing a live version, you can really see the difference. On the recorded songs, you cant see how deeply he connects with the music. Yes there is emotion in those, but when you see him singing it now, it all affects him, and you can tell how deeply he means every word he's singing and I absolutely love that. Some artists just sing their songs how it is on the album, but he sings the songs with every ounce of emotion and rawness that comes through him with these songs. Its breathtaking.
It’s like you’ve sung parts of my mind for me , you have a beautiful gift . I’m singing with you , I stumbled across you while worked my early shift cleaning a bar at 5 am made me think of my beautiful family and my love , watched the sunrise and walked home eating a stolen croissant half hungover from too much wine the night before , but in a dreamy bliss from the few blissful minutes of escape . Thank you
Best performance of “An Evening I Will Not Forget”!!! That song is so special and extremely underrated. Shame Dermot doesn’t get more airplay in the U.S. 😔 I love this man’s music so much
He has the best voice I’ve ever heard and the way I can sit down in a room and create everything him self is truly amazing. I’ve never heared anyone so good live.
His voice, his perfect genius songwriting, his emotion, his raspiness, everything about him moves me in a way in every single song he sings! Much love from Morocco!
I didn't think I could love Dermot's songs any more than I already do-- but OMG this made me love him even MORE! I absolutely love Moments Passed on the piano. His lyrics, that voice and the emotion in his songs are perfection! I can't wait to hear more from him!
Angels voice beautifull i have teers in my eyes off his Sweet Angel Voice i hope all dreams and hope come true for him god bless you All All the love from The Nederlands Amsterdam, 💖💖💖
I found the song glory and since then ive been hooked! Not a single song i dont like. When i seen him live in Liverpool and seen just how much passion he puts into his music has now made him my favourite artist! Keep at it and soon you will be a mega star!!!!!
Been listening to dermot since I stumbled across “glory” on TH-cam completely by accident and it was honestly a life changer, I have a hectic life but every evening I take myself to van for an hour or so and I sing as loud as I can (if you’re reading this and you get restless in the evenings give it a try) never heard lyrics that I can relate too like his songs and this acoustic set blows my Mind EVERYTIME I play it.... “I’ve got some people who’ll carry me” 👌
How it must feel to be a bird Roamin' lonely oversea air How it must feel to be a bird London, Paris, underneath And I'll wait on my own (Ooh, hmm, ooh) [Chorus] And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you love me But she's bringin' 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 [Verse 2] Now wasn't it love soon as we knew each other properly?

I have loved Dermot for years now and I cannot wait to see him next month in Sydney AUSTRALIA, I'm beyond excited - really wish more people around me knew him. I don't care I'm the only one around - will be with all his fans soon enough :)
For island fires and family hits me differently than the rest of his songs. I love all of his songs but his voice in for island fires and family moves me like nothing else❤️don’t stop dermot❤️
Pure absolute talent. Some of the most beautiful songwriting & vocals I've ever heard. So happy I've had his music in the background of my life these past few years
Set list:
A Closeness 0:06
For Island Fires and Family 4:24
An Evening I Will Not Forget 9:45
Moments Passed 14:22
What happened to his full live show in Boston???
why did you delete his full show???
Amazingly Addictive
Has such incredible lyrics and voice
I
One day this man will be world famous, I can't wait.
i hope so but at the same time i like that hes not super mainstream - hes our secret haha. its like if he became an ed sheeran it would ruin it
We don’t want him to become world famous.. when they do the music usually goes downhill
#true
andeusmc 100% and all my friends will regret not wanting to see him with me this Thursday in Sydney! Counting down!
@@kailee-annecarr1290 jealous, i need him to come back to the US
“An evening I will not forget “ breaks my heart every time without fail
Every single time girl Dermot could sing me the ABCs n still make me feel better about life 😁
So captivating 😰😰😰
I still love you always
I. Can't. Stop. Crying. This man has single handedly dragged me out of heartbreak and depression and taught me how to feel places in my heart I didn't feel existed before. Each song is pure magic.

the interstellar fox117 how was it?????
Yeah, interstellar -- was he beautiful? I'm seeing him in Oakland, California next week. I relate to what you wrote, BTW. Peace ☮
This beautiful Man has got me through a lot of difficult times! He’s a true inspiration! Absolutely brilliant xxxx
I know exactly how you feel so immensely grateful for this music it's opened me up and taught me to feel again after years of heartbreak. Thank you Dermot and crew you have no idea of all that you do x❤️
did u enjoy it ???
this man is a poet. Give him a Grammy already! every time he sings, he is pulling on my heart strings. i always tear up! ALWAYS!
“Moments Passed” is the reason I’m here. It’s an incredibly powerful song
This isn't a music session, this is a spiritual experience. This could be the fastest yet most haunting 19 minutes of my life.
It’s literally a music session 😂😂
So beautiful. So painful. So poetic. Love the honesty and strength and weakness.
It's generic dogshit
@@WakaWaka2468 Your dogshit
The man speaks so honest l
Strength within the weakness and vice versa. The paradox
@@WakaWaka2468 some of the greatest songs ever are only 4 chords. sometimes simplicity and relatable vocals make the most beautiful music.
The fact that he wrote them himself makes it so much more valuable, he has actual talent unlike most modern "musicians"
A big middle finger to that one person who disliked this. This man has pure, raw, talent and puts so much emotion into all of his work
Lol
The guy who disliked it saw ur comment and called 3 of his friends to dislike to...lol
10 people with shitty musical taste
Jason Conrey welcome to the age of mumble rap...
Jason Conrey I second that
Dermot is slicing his soul open and most of the world is passing him by... We are the lucky ones. Getting it and being here now.....
He difinitly rips your hart open
Dang, this man is blessed with voice of god.
Have you seen the colours video of him singing moments past? His voice was especially powerful in that recording, with more than a few people being startled by the strength of his voice right at the start. Someone even commented "I didn't expect to hear god"
th-cam.com/video/rK6aMP-c8Gs/w-d-xo.html
Even better live 😍
@@usaftk730 I wish I'd had the pleasure
Jonathan Gibbs dude that’s what started me out Man, my jaw dropped so much passion
Jonathan Gibbs that’s honestly one of my favorite music performances ever by anyone
I always have the same feeling I get listening to Tracy Chapman as I do when I listen to him, both are amazing❤❤
This is my favorite Dermot Kennedy session thus far. He gives 110% every single time. This session feels so intimate and I love everything about it.
I prefer the Colors one that he did with Moments Passed. But yes indeed this one is lovely too. Seeing him live would be a dream come true
I prefer the tiny desk one, but it’s still moving .
Selvfølgelig er den ikke det værd. Der skal ikke ananas på pizza Kristy Selvfølgelig er den ikke det værd. Der skal ikke ananas på pizza
Check him out on Mahogany
I found him through Colors - blew my head clean off. Started the addiction to him... Same with very other one mentioned here tho! This one, Mahogany sessions but the 'Tiny Desk Concert' is outta this world stunning! I read the information underneath today and they couldn't have praised him any more than they did, explaining his plans, actions, his dedication to get the sound they wanted - Flew in early to do rehearsals with the (??) Gospel Choir that he'd managed to get also. EDIT - & Vevo lift.
I always wondered why he didn't swear in that one, now makes sense. Seems such a good soul. Like 'Sophie's choice" to pick one...
14:30 - 14:42 this probably the greatest little snippet of vocals I’ve ever heard in my life
Hearing him on my radio and on commercials gives me a sense of warmth. The world is coming to appreciate this mans soul
My age is 65 so I reley on my neices to introduce me to music like this,on the way home from a Jethro Tull concert Tuesday night my niece played me A Closeness I was blown away,since than I cannot stop listening to this very gifted artist I hope more people learn about him. Thank you Dermott for the music
As a pure lover of all music. I appreciate that you went from Jethro Tull to Dermot Ward. It's such a drastic difference and yet the love for music is all the same between the 2.
My wife and I traveled to Ireland in February of 2019 for our 27th anniversary. We were in a small café in Enniscrone(sp?) when Dermot came on the radio. I asked the staff if that was him and if they could turn it up. I'd never heard this particular song before but his voice is distinctive. The staff was happy that an old hick from Arkansas in the States could appreciate great music. And I do.
His Irish accent coming through just hits me right in the soul...so beautiful x
his music travels through me like i'm living different lifes.
100% agree
It's only one thing I regret in my life- not knowing Dermot's brilliant music earlier.
Just two words for You: thank you!
dermot sings whats in his heart and its helping me as im loosing my sister thank you dermot ....
Whenever I feel like I need comfort I pray and listen to this. I don't know how a man can have such a perfect voice. A guitar and his a voice are enough to make you feel so many emotions at a time.
That growl at minute 13… holy heavens. I’ve seen this man twice perform, met him and got a hug once… each time it was special… Dermot, I’m waiting for you to arrive at my doorstep on one knee any day now my love.. lol
😅 were all waiting for that day... he's in a long relationship and recently married, so I hate to say odds are that it will never happen unfortunately
Such a poet! Living up to that Irish gold heritage....
How the hell is this guy not famous as can be? His catalog is insane!!!!
I'd be nervous for him to get too famous... His songs and voice are so raw and true and you feel his emotion in every single note and word. Would never want that to change.
one of my biggest worries 100%
Don’t worry, the normies prefer their generic pop music.
Shiitttt it kinda happened and is currently happening
He literally just makes pop songs now
I think this is too pure and transformative for the mainstream. This music changes lives, it helps us process emotions and heal.
I think he will have commercial success but I hope he keeps this essence whatever happens.
Are you kidding me. I just now stumbled on this gem. A whole quarantine year later. we need help. His music is making 2020 great again.
For Island Fires and Family is one of the most beautiful songs, the raw emotion gets me every time!
Dermot at his best.. With his voice out front. I really like his band too but for me this is some of the best music on the planet
Dam straight, and everytime it seems to get better
Dermot Kennedy has all of the soul and creativity that the entire music industry is missing. He is the infinity gauntlet of musicians.
I'm so happy to see that other people love this guy's music. He definitely sings from the heart every time.
Dermot deserves the worlds ears
I feel like the world doesn't deserve such a beautiful treasure. They'll only spoil it and exploid it. I'd like the think that he keeps on making the music he loves and doesn't change just to be listened to by a lot of people
Some big ears eh
I don't know what to do with all the feels every time I listen to Dermott.
I was just hypnotized for 19 minutes
Ah ah ah, 19 minutes and 6 seconds.
One of the most gifted singer and songwriter of our time
I'm an old man listen to a lot of different music through my life old metal, classic rock,hard core, the Dead,but something about this touches me right.just learning guitar wish I could play some of this.thank you for sharing this talent with us
The pause he has at the end of his songs is really moving. It's like a head bow of respect & remembrance towards the lyrics and music just played.
Desi Albiniak !!!! Yes
I've always interpreted the pauses as him remembering and reminiscing on what moved him to write, sing, and play those songs in the first place.
E.g: the long pause after Moments Passed to me feels like Dermot is remembering the relationship that originally moved him to make that song.
Overall, just amazing music from a hard working artist that pours his heart and soul into every recording and loves every waking moment of it.
Reverence!
His music is a spiritual experience, this guy is tapped into a higher power.
This man was born for greatness. I'm glad he sings to us. He makes the world a better place.
There's an old saying "we will never see his likeness again". I disagree. Each of us can be that powerful in life. But he's definitely one of my heroes...for whatever that's worth
Yes he does. He helped my heart heal too. I'll forever be grateful for that
He's my Hero forsure!
For island fires and family! one of my favourite songs ever
Too
I’ve been very ill over last few years and there’s no cure for what I’ve got and I’ve been in really
Bad mental state but this guy helps a lot
I’m only 19 aswell
Joe Mole hope your still fighting on pal 💪🏼
@@joemole3142 If you ever need to talk - im here
OMG!!! I've only just discovered Dermott Kennedy and I am SHOOK. I can't even describe how this set made me feel. What a talent, such a powerful, emotional voice. Wow, just wow.
This version of Moments Passed is stunning. I like the production on the recorded version, but it's even better with just the piano and his voice.
Have you heard the version from his tiny desk concert performance? He's so good
How does this even have one dislike?? His songs are literally poetry and his voice is that of an angel!
The moment he spoke and I heard his voice I just couldn't control myself, I was crying already. The emotions in his voice are just so... real, raw. Breathtaking. I have no words.

I can't believe I'm just finding him.
So much emotion in every single word. I'm in love with his voice. Sigh.
Ayyyy you’re so amazing. Appreciate so much your words. All love to you and yours dude
Every song Dermot sings is a life, so much depth and love.
I went for a pint with Dermot's parents and his girlfriend before one of his Dublin gigs. He's a legend and his family are lovely. As an Irishman and a musician, I'm so proud of his success.
wow!!! cheers to that from Vancouver BC canada xo
Totally in love with his voice, but man.. Those lyrics are something else. Pure art. Sublime. Way to go Dermot!
I've discovered him couple of weeks ago (shame on me :) ) and I am a complete fan of his music. He is so underrated, his voice, his passion, the lyrics and feelings that I'm getting each time I listen to his art, makes me become addicted. He should be globally renowned!
Amazing live session!
I listen to this while sitting by the water, watching the sunset. Your voice and words, magic.
Out of nowhere 12 minutes in i just start fucking crying!? What is this sorcery? I liked the music, wasn't even listening that close to the lyrics. And emotions just start flood through me.. That is serious talent!
How it must feel to be a bird
Roamin' lonely over sea air
How it must feel to be a bird
London, Paris, underneath
And I'll wait on my own
(Ooh, hmm, ooh)
And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry
And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you love me
But she's bringin' 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?
Livin' 'bout half right 'til a certain person got to me
Nothin' is secret, everythin'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, that's somethin' I can't release
Dreams of her comin' home, sweet home
And I'm tellin' you home is so sweet
Said you reminded me of the summertime, and I still mean that
In a full room, I'm the only one she's smilin' at
So wouldn't you let me know if you were thinkin' 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, the 7th circle
And I was talkin' 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 love me
But she's bringin' 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 feelin' when you think your heart is gonna come right out through your shirt?
Get it a couple times a year
But I've been gettin' 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, growin' old too quickly
Was he thinkin' of her?
But she's bringin' 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

A real one, passionate. this means something to him
Those "oohs" in A Closeness... how much emotion can you pour into a word that carries no meaning in itself?
Amazing.
I have never heard anyone so talented.
I love those shivers you get when you hear a beautiful song for the first time.
It’s like you’ve sung parts of my mind for me , you have a beautiful gift . I’m singing with you , I stumbled across you while worked my early shift cleaning a bar at 5 am made me think of my beautiful family and my love , watched the sunrise and walked home eating a stolen croissant half hungover from too much wine the night before , but in a dreamy bliss from the few blissful minutes of escape .

I could listen to this a million times and never get sick of it
Best performance of “An Evening I Will Not Forget”!!! That song is so special and extremely underrated. Shame Dermot doesn’t get more airplay in the U.S. 😔 I love this man’s music so much
I saw him live last Friday- and I can honestly say he is such a talented man, the world stop turning listening to his art.
I think my heart broke listening to an evening I won't forget. Crying. He has such power in his voice.
i can’t even explain how much i love this man and his music.
thank you
His voice and passion is unreal. This session was one of the best he's ever done, it was so raw and emotional. I can't wait to hear more from him
He has the best voice I’ve ever heard and the way I can sit down in a room and create everything him self is truly amazing. I’ve never heared anyone so good live.
Every word Dermot sings touches the soul. Absolutely amazing artist!
The luck of the Irish 😊😉
Can't wait to see him in concert. I hope my son has as much compassion as he does.
this just leaves me weeping and speechless. holy hell is this man talented.
it saddens me to think that there are people that cannot appreciate this.
Me too❤😊
His voice, his perfect genius songwriting, his emotion, his raspiness, everything about him moves me in a way in every single song he sings! Much love from Morocco!
Only discovered this artist about 10 mins ago and I've already had goosebumps and tears, that is very rare!
I didn't think I could love Dermot's songs any more than I already do-- but OMG this made me love him even MORE! I absolutely love Moments Passed on the piano. His lyrics, that voice and the emotion in his songs are perfection! I can't wait to hear more from him!
Every single one of his songs if you give it enough times through are just incredible
Angels voice beautifull i have teers in my eyes off his Sweet Angel Voice i hope all dreams and hope come true for him god bless you All All the love from The Nederlands Amsterdam, 💖💖💖
I found the song glory and since then ive been hooked! Not a single song i dont like. When i seen him live in Liverpool and seen just how much passion he puts into his music has now made him my favourite artist! Keep at it and soon you will be a mega star!!!!!
goosebumps for the entire session
I’ve listened to this 6 days in a row. Something real special about this!
I’ve probably listened to this whole video about 10 times in the past day since I found it.. Each song is unreal dudes got a voice
This and his NPR Tiny Desk performance are the best two I've ever heard. I wish to be able to sing like this man.
Just went to his show in Calgary. WOW. Best show I've ever been to in my life; I've seen some world class concerts, too.
Wow that version of moments passed, stunning!
Been listening to dermot since I stumbled across “glory” on TH-cam completely by accident and it was honestly a life changer, I have a hectic life but every evening I take myself to van for an hour or so and I sing as loud as I can (if you’re reading this and you get restless in the evenings give it a try) never heard lyrics that I can relate too like his songs and this acoustic set blows my Mind EVERYTIME I play it.... “I’ve got some people who’ll carry me” 👌
The bird's love the music... Feed them every morning had one even dancing haha ❤ xox
I just discovered him, I'm blown away, in love. I want more, I can't get enough
"Got a thought for those who start to think of love
As the pursuit of a fool, it's a palace from ruin"
How it must feel to be a bird
Roamin' lonely oversea air
How it must feel to be a bird
London, Paris, underneath
And I'll wait on my own
(Ooh, hmm, ooh)
[Chorus]
And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry
And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you love me
But she's bringin' 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
[Verse 2]
Now wasn't it love soon as we knew each other properly?
Livin' 'bout half right 'til a certain person got to me
Nothin' is secret, everythin'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, that's somethin' I can't release
Dreams of her comin' home, sweet home
And I'm tellin' you, home is so sweet
Said you reminded me of the summertime, and I still mean that
In a full room, I'm the only one she's smilin' at
So wouldn't you let me know if you were thinkin' 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, the 7th circle
And I was talkin' 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
I have loved Dermot for years now and I cannot wait to see him next month in Sydney AUSTRALIA, I'm beyond excited - really wish more people around me knew him. I don't care I'm the only one around - will be with all his fans soon enough :)
I could watch this 60 times and not get bored, sooo good 😍
Unreal
For island fires and family hits me differently than the rest of his songs. I love all of his songs but his voice in for island fires and family moves me like nothing else❤️don’t stop dermot❤️
Pure absolute talent. Some of the most beautiful songwriting & vocals I've ever heard. So happy I've had his music in the background of my life these past few years
D Kennedy you are just brilliant the your songs and Words Merci mon amie and Pamela for this great singer❤😢😂🎉
how can only 70k people of viewed this? this guy is truly brilliant!
Had the pleasure of seeing him at the Fillmore in San Francisco recently. One of the most amazing live concerts I've seen.
True talent! Alone, just voice and an instrument. *I'm astonished about that piano version of Moments...
Please keep writing these songs. They speak to our souls. Thank you
This whole performance has raised, settled and comforted me in my time of need.
Love you VIKKI LM
