It’s bittersweet to watch his fan base grow. Part of me wants to see him get all the attention he rightly deserves, but another part of me wants to keep him all to myself. I’m so proud of him and the success he continues to have.
dermot’s music means more to me than anything i’ve ever heard. to hear the story behind it, in such detail, truly means so much dermot. thank you so much. no one does it quite like you
Dermot makes Me so proud to be Irish He not only has that raw gritty Irishness to the core But he has depth and soul and his lyrics and writing skills are Amazing He is a true Artist
Sorry for your loss! I also lost my mom last year and that’s how I found Dermot! The hope I feel from his hearing his music is such a big part of what gets me through most days.
Being a part of selling out Red Rocks for him is so magical to me. I remember being at work and looking at the clock and jumping onto the internet to get those tickets. It was something I truly knew I couldn’t miss within my soul and I’m glad we share that moment in history fondly.
This man deserves every ounce of success, his music, writing ability and power to convey feeling in his voice has touched so many. My wife and I came to see you play in Brighton in December last year and it was just so amazing to be in the presence of his voice and his band playing. I was so concerned about his voice this year and remember that time he is talking about in the video. I'm glad he got the help he so needed! Dermot, we havent stopped playing your music for 2 whole years, I think it's the longest I've been that obsessed over just one artist. The song, without fear is just incredible and I feel so so bad for any person who still hasn't heard it, this song will always be my number one song from you. Can't wait to be able to see you again. Please do many small shows in small towns rather than a few big shows in the typical places, London, Birmingham etc as big shows ruin the intimacy people have with your music. Stay safe!
If he doesn't get a Grammy or 7 I'll truly be surprised. Dermot's music to me is like listening to a symphony. There's just so much beauty!It's so cool to see the back story. Freaking love the IRISH! 🇮🇪 You represent the best storytellers well. Well Done.
Just listening to the first few minutes of this. It makes so much more sense why I resonate so much to your music. Grief is a part of our lives. Hope is always there within our grasp. Much love Dermot!
We're all here for you Dermot, just like you've been there for us when the times were tough, and we didn't see a way out. Thank you for sharing your art with us. Your music saves lives.
He can write. His phrasing in the lyrics and the music is just phenomenal. Not many people on earth that can do what he is doing. The acoustic stuff he is doing live is amazing
I am one who went to your gig for the first time, only knowing a couple of songs and I felt SOOO connected with the music, lyrics and incredible voice that 4 mos after I am still listening to your songs EVERY single day. Really cool insight into your process. Never change Dermot!!!! You stand out in this over saturated music biz because you do you. 👏👏❤❤❤
My favourite artist of all time without fear & complete version is the best album on earth, this man is truly iconic & so is his music, songwriting, artistry, and distinct one of a kind voice, I love his music
I like your mixture of being serious and not taking yourself too seriously. Genuine, open, not being too self- assure, I love you as well as I love your songs.
12:33 - My favourite part of the whole album, it really is the pinnacle and the perfect ending. "Now I really think you're heaven sent, cause you've been forcing all these hollow hearts to feel again, Now I really think you're heaven sent, there's a beauty in being broken I've been seeing it" The lyrics that meant the most to me and nice to hear it's one of his favourites too.
I think I’ve been watching Dermot grow as a musician now for about 2-3 years (I can’t remember exactly but it’s been a moment) & I have to say he is a force to be reckoned with. The style & versatility of his music, his lyrics, voice, everything is something truly special. I can’t resonate with each one of his songs and I can not wait until my friends and I can watch him perform August 2021 in Grand Rapids, MI.
I remember first being introduced to Dermot from an artist radio station on Spotify and ‘After Rain’ was the first song I ever heard from and now he’s my go-to feel good artist to listen to ALWAYS 🇮🇪
I had heard After Rain ....but at the concert I HEARD the song and by the end I singing “ You won’t go lonely” at the top of my lungs...tears streaming down my face
I am so glad that I was able to see him perform this album live. It was such an emotional roller coaster that night....I cried, I laughed, I felt alive!
When I listened to Power over me the first time I instantly clicked with your music style. 2020 has been a year of loses and lessons for me. But your music has been there to remind me that you need to live your life without fear. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Hey Dermot, You are a gift to the world 🌍❤️ Your talent is a bliss. Your passion is undoubtedly impressive. Thank you Mr Kennedy Sincerely from South Africa 🇿🇦
Ugh the bag pipes for sure!! The most beautiful wedding i ever been to was Scottish themed and with kelts and bagpipes! I was so young and dreamed of a wedding like that! But yes the bagpipes are absolutely fantastic 💯
It SERIOUSLY just boggles my mind how he’s not MUUUUCH bigger because god only know how much he deserves the recognition. I love this video and love your music Dermot, much love ❤️
My mother was diagnosed with cancer in early 2018, and not long after i discovered 'After Rain' and felt immense comfort. Since then your music has been everything to me and absolutely most listened to for a long time now. I really love this album reflection, gives the music more meaning, thank you for amazing music. 🖤
Literally obsessed with this man. His music and words has helped me. I found him over a year ago and his music has carried me through many things. Especially my brothers brother's suicide. I'm thankful to have his voice and poetry to be such a big part of my life.
Dermot, it is hard to properly describe what your music has done for me. When I listen to this album, it generates an almost euphoric-like feeling that gives me a sense of home within myself. Xx you are truly amazing and thank you for being authentically you
Your music has a beautiful poetic complexity, the balance between deep darkness and the hope and the light that you found in your struggle really comes through. I have been going through similar things recently and your lyrics really speak to me and resonate. Thank you for sharing your gifts Dermot
Deep deep explosion ofemotions in every your song! Youre living every your song and as you are singing about state of my soul and heart now! I really find myself in in those powerfull words of lyrics! Its pure poetry of a heart! Like we were song in the silence! Bravo! Respect from Europe,Slovenija!
As you grow, I hope you continue to stay as incredibly grounded as you are. It makes me so proud to be a fan of you and your talent and all the people you touch in the world with your music and words.
I’m loving the confidence in this interview. You were patient Dermot and you deserve all of this success. Your music is truly moving and enthralling and all of the big words one can use to describe something so incredible. Keep going, you deserve it all !!
The album just talked to me, it felt so authentic and heartfelt. It is reflected in that interview. Without fear is dark, powerful and beautiful !!! Absolutely love it!
it was so refreshing to hear you talk about your music in this way. your words hold so much power, and it shows in the way you express yourself as well as in your music. we appreciate you, we appreciate your words and thoughts, and all that you are dermot. keep creating, keep writing. you are an incredible artist and it shows
Every song this man sings hits me on so many levels. I am a self admitted music-aholic and I have NEVER been able to say I had a favorite until I found this voice and lyrics. So much respect for him and his talent 🖤 I need 2021 to be kind so the show in Michigan actually happens!! Edit: 7:33- mission accomplished 🖤
This was the 1st album I actually wanted to buy in over 10 years after only hearing 2 songs!! It has been played on repeat frequently. So many times I have gone to sleep or woken with lyrics stuck in my head. Thank you for sharing it with us 🥰
Amen Dermot... We are built by the layers of rubble on which we stand. .... Truly cannot appreciate anything without having survived loss.. keep being you. Your journey is blessed 💖.
I love when artists give the background to their music. To me, it always adds a depth that I couldn't necessarily just get from the song by itself. For example, i thought I new what Lost was about and I loved it by itself, then I saw the music video and it brought a whole new bigger meaning to it. That song is now one of my faves on the album. Grateful to watch these next 3 videos and maybe find a new new fave 🙏
Music should make you feel something, something real. And it's fair to say that I can really feel all the emotions through your music and believe it. That's a rare quality and that's why I adore you so much.
I love you dermot! Your music brings me to tears, makes me happy, feel like life will be OK and it's OK to let go of the past heartache. It's beautiful ♥️♥️ THANK YOU ♥️😘
Not only that I relate to his lyrics but man what he’s saying too ! I’m a serious and silly person at the same time I have the darkest thoughts sometimes yet I’m always throwing sarcastic comments and not taking life too seriously if that makes sense, I went through a lot of dark times that will always be a part of me but that grief and that pain I went through is beautiful in a way because it made me who I am today and I’m so grateful to hear songs and say omg I relate 💙
Thank u so much you've helped me get through dark times and u must have gone through a lot of things in your life to make these songs to sound so personal all I have to say is all the darkness I face music is the light that helps Me get through it especially hours thank u so much. :(
Apparently I'm in the 0.05% of Dermot's listeners on Spotify. I'm honored. The music he makes is so meaningful. I love it. Can't wait until my crew neck comes in the mail and the CD so I can blast it in the car!
I love his music because of it’s uniqueness and every song is somehow perfectly instrumented and shows pure emotion. No artist I’ve ever listened to truly expresses himself the way this man does 💕
Your lyrics resonates with me more than you can imagine! And getting to know the story behind your songs is a blessing. Can't wait for more videos like this one, and for more of your songs of course. Stay committed to the path you're on. Best from 🇫🇷
I’ve been through some shit myself and you’ve always been there to help! I agree you’re „an anomaly” - a unique, beautiful one, who can help so many people with your music. Looking forward to seeing you live again, when the world comes back to normal! Thank you!❤️
I feel incredibly lucky to be inspired by such a brillant and real musician. From the lyricism, to the dynamic and direction in each song, to the heart and rawness behind it. Class act, thank you Dermot!
People need to stop sleeping on him. He's brilliant.
@@sineadocallaghan3946 LOLOLOL
He truly is!!
AMEN!
For REAL though
It’s bittersweet to watch his fan base grow. Part of me wants to see him get all the attention he rightly deserves, but another part of me wants to keep him all to myself. I’m so proud of him and the success he continues to have.

Same especially giants
I feel every single word until my eyes get wet and my skin gets bumps
Absolutely mad how talented & well rounded this man is. 💚🇮🇪
Dermot makes Me so proud to be Irish
He not only has that raw gritty Irishness to the core
But he has depth and soul and his lyrics and writing skills are Amazing
He is a true Artist
Dermot and his gutair is my favorite, it's like a more personal level, it's so different, all he does is absolutely amazing!!
Really it's Dermot and the piano! I have finally decided, but both are absolutely breathtaking
Thank You for being You Dermot, Your music goes deep... I can feel it! I absolutely love your music.
It's refreshing to hear someone talk positively about themselves and know their worth.
Lost my Mum in 2019, and found you! Bro, you pulled me through some hard times, THANK YOU!!!
John Swanson I'm so sorry for the loss of your mumma 💕 music can ease a broken heart, and lyrics like his can heal a broken soul 🙏🏼
@@cary-annglastonbury8287 thank you for your kind words!! We can all come together with music and love!!
@@johnswanson8421 Absolutely 😊
Sorry for your loss! I also lost my mom last year and that’s how I found Dermot! The hope I feel from his hearing his music is such a big part of what gets me through most days.
Being a part of selling out Red Rocks for him is so magical to me. I remember being at work and looking at the clock and jumping onto the internet to get those tickets. It was something I truly knew I couldn’t miss within my soul and I’m glad we share that moment in history fondly.
I love how humble, open & candid he is. I hope he never changes.
I’ve not long heard of dermot and he’s on my playlist now everyday 😀😀
This man deserves every ounce of success, his music, writing ability and power to convey feeling in his voice has touched so many. My wife and I came to see you play in Brighton in December last year and it was just so amazing to be in the presence of his voice and his band playing. I was so concerned about his voice this year and remember that time he is talking about in the video. I'm glad he got the help he so needed! Dermot, we havent stopped playing your music for 2 whole years, I think it's the longest I've been that obsessed over just one artist.

Seriously talented, educated and down to earth legend ❤️ you make us so proud to be Irish ☘️🇮🇪
One of the best solo artist from Ireland,plus he doesn’t forget where he came from 💕
If he doesn't get a Grammy or 7 I'll truly be surprised.
Dermot's music to me is like listening to a symphony. There's just so much beauty!It's so cool to see the back story.
Freaking love the IRISH! 🇮🇪 You represent the best storytellers well.
Well Done.
His music can literally touch your soul.
Just listening to the first few minutes of this. It makes so much more sense why I resonate so much to your music. Grief is a part of our lives. Hope is always there within our grasp. Much love Dermot!

Keeping listening to you.. your Parents must be BURSTING with pride.. Big time!
Love his writing ability to make you get lost in his words and pulling you into his emotionally deep moments, parallel to your own.
I am in Zimbabwe Africa. .. and we are loving the music
I'm in South Africa 🇿🇦
I'm in SA🇿🇦
This man is one of the best singers. He knows and understands what he is doing very well. All the best.
My favourite artist of all time without fear & complete version is the best album on earth, this man is truly iconic & so is his music, songwriting, artistry, and distinct one of a kind voice, I love his music

Such a deep and profound young man! He always sings and talks from the heart ❤ So sincere in every song he writes. Just amazing!
His music really resembles his personality! So genuine!!
Ugh. I just don’t have the words. His music is SOO good. So real. Hits me in ALL the feels.
12:33 - My favourite part of the whole album, it really is the pinnacle and the perfect ending.

Hearing him describe the process seems so simple yet his music is soo goddam profound and meaningful.
The only artist that literally speaks to my soul. Saw him live last February in NC and it changed my life ❤️

May he live long and prosper 🖖

I could listen to you speak for days
Wow. How put together is this guy. His music now makes so much sense. Thank you Dermot for your wonderful music.
Dermot blew me away with Power Over Me and Outnumbered....lookin forward to more music
