It felt so special to be given this unique view of Dublin City while it was at a standstill. Having spent the last few years travelling, often feeling very detached from home, this felt like the perfect way to reconnect with my roots. This video represents the longing I feel for playing music for people. I miss it so much, and I want this video to take you on a journey back to the way things were when we got to sing together. We will get there again. - Dermot

I live in Dublin city centre. My housemates all left to bunker down at home at the beginning. Due to a family member testing positive I stayed in the city alone for the entire lockdown. In the video you pass my office that closed for lockdown, you run on the Luas tracks that I would normally have frequented, you stand outside the Olympia theatre where I had tickets for events that would have normally have shaped my summer. This video is so personal and so beautifully portrays the unique experience of lockdown in a bustling city and the disruption that has occurred in our every day lives. No one knows how long it’s going to take, but some day we will get back to where we were. And it will be incredible.
I love this!

Yes! I'll live in Ireland if I could 😂😍
Well I'm only 21 so got a lifetime ahead.
I think you will love this to good Indie folk th-cam.com/video/GsPq9mzFNGY/w-d-xo.html
This is so true...the next lockdown just started today in Hungary and I feel this is going to be a terrible part of our life, but afterward, when this all is gone than it's going to be so fantastic!
When he pulled up to the Olympia..perfectly in time with "don't you remember those times?"..made me so emotional hahahahaha
Same. I lost it there.
what happened there? like the first concert or something?
Rustem Baltiyev Dermot has played a few shows in the Olympia but it’s just a very prominent venue in Ireland so it holds sentimental value to most Irish artists that play there
Mark Smyth literally same, brought tears to my eyes

Videographer: so how much running do you want to do in this?
Dermont: YES
No burned cars so Progress lol
DEADDDDDD LMAOOOO GOTTA LOVE, DK !!
th-cam.com/video/5kOtkRNa6ZY/w-d-xo.html
this has such a longing feel for a time before 2020. we used to be giants, and we will be again. i never forgot. some summer night we’ll be together for real
I hope and pray for it!
th-cam.com/video/5kOtkRNa6ZY/w-d-xo.html
not if we dont stand up against the tyranny we wont.
Actually brought tears to my eyes. Dublin is a beautiful city, that I wished that I would be able to see in person. We will be Giants again.
Same here. I've been twice and although it was just within the last couple years, it still made me very nostalgic. I long to be back in Ireland again.
I feel like this video is so special. it feels like it’s for the fans and dermot’s beautiful journey as a musician omg I love you

The feeling of missing Dublin and live concerts and singing along with all the people to the same song, overwhelmed me while watching this video (and EVERYTIME I hear All my friends...).
When I was in Dublin city I in joy it I'm from mayo I used to see Scotland and it cool! Ever
Dermot always puts his heart on everything and thats why I love him 🥺❤️
th-cam.com/video/5kOtkRNa6ZY/w-d-xo.html
The day you released this was the last time I ever saw my grandmother, the spirit of the Irish ☘️ .
This song always reminds me, Thankyou Dermot
This music video is much better then the original
Wow, that's a lot of running! On a more serious note, his creative projects and feeling essence from his works never ceases to amaze me. Well done Dermot!!!
Why does this video make me so emotional?? I've only been to Dublin once, and it was the best time of my life, meeting locals, walking around the city, spending a lot of time at the RDS for the WMOF 2018. Seeing all those places I remember just makes me cry
I hope he will come to Holland very soon!
I like when people take pride in their own culture and creating art that reflect their authentic self. Thats why Dermont so appealing 💗💗💗 you can understand the beauty of
This made me very emotional. Some of my favorite memories are Dermot's concerts and hearing his voice roar and echo through The Fillmore in particular, followed by an applause break that seemed to last a lifetime. Everyone in the room in awe of this man and enjoying the music he shared with us. Looking back now in 2020 at my city SF, CA it's just not the same anymore. We can never have that moment again at least not for years to come. He made us feel like Giants at his shows, I hope to feel that again someday.
My God He captures the Beauty of Ireland and Dublin to a T here! I miss going to Dublin for a Gig and a good Nite out having fun. Hopefully we'll all be back to normal soon. Love from Donegal! 😊👌
Such a beautiful representation of Ireland alongside a beautiful track! I’m sure Jameson are thrilled with the product placement 😂 well done to the video team! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
They are he also ran past their distillery. I think they put a video out about the making of this video.
Fitting for today when the streets are not so packed full of people and all the places I've been all over Dublin were proud of you Dermot
The flashbacks are so very special. Love this content
I never get tired of playing the song, very emotional.
I love these earthier music videos, 'Innocence and Sadness', 'Outnumbered', 'Power Over Me', this one fits right along with them. Love it 💕
Thank you for sharing ♥️
You seriously know how to capture every single emotion that’s going through somebody’s heart, the good and the bad. Keep making damn good music
Wonderful
Ein Fantastischer Song von einem noch Fantastischerem Musiker...
❤️❤️ Die Seele Irlands ❤️❤️
We love your free spirit x
I think this is my favourite video yet. The nostalgia and longing for how things were is palpable. ❤️
Youre my special musician, and everyone else's, and I wouldn't have it any other way
So many chills!! Longing for the days when we can stand in a crowd and listen to this live, in person. Beautiful video! ❤️
this is my favorite video to this song. a wonderful "simple" video. i love to see dublin.. i love to see the streets.. and that you took us here with you. i´m thrilled to see and hear you and your music one day live. stay healthy everybody. :)
So many émotions to find yourself alone at night in the city who saw us to be born of running freely and in having the doubt of the lose her in an uncertain world what is he pas in your in your mind and in your heart Thank you Nicole France
Can't get enough of this. I genuinely think this is me favourite music video of yours Dermot
How the hell doesn't this not have hundreds of millions of views? Is it gonna be charting later in the year or something?
I wish I knew Dermot's stories about the places he runs by. They need to have a connection with him, maybe so early in his career when a lot of us didn't know him yet. So mysterious.
This is absolutely the best promotional video for Ireland! And not to mention the best person, artist, human to proudly show the Irish culture is Dermot. This video gives total goosebumps . Seeing Dermot becoming our Giant , yet remaining this humble human.
We love you , Dermot!! Thank you for your music!
Dermot has perfectly described my feelings over the years in literally everyone of his songs. Thank you for your music, you words and thank you for saving me.
Yeeeesss Dermot!!!Can't Wait!! Made my BD even better..ty😍💚🎉
Happy birthday🙂

Love this!!!!! 👏 I discovered you 3 weeks ago and I can't stop listening to your songs since then. Looking forward to see you live! please come to Argentina when this global pandemic is over 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your music ❤
Watching this gave me a new love for this song! Dermot is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists
like it !
brings back memories from college in Dublin 25 years ago !
All the best Dermot, please come to Vienna again !
That stop in front of the Olympia made me so emotional! Absolutely loved this!
Can't wait to see the video. Love this song.
Great video. Dublin looking great in the backdrop. The live music industry is in a really difficult place right now and this video along with the song reflects on this challenging time for artists and their fans. Looking forward to seeing you back on the road again soon!
This is so beautiful and reflects such an uncertain time that has been felt worldwide! Dermot truly conveying those emotions 😍
Literally the best video ever!! 😭
I miss the feeling of being in rooms like that singing along to every word with him ❤️ one day X
So excited!!!! I can't wait to see this masterpiece 🤩 (already love the thumbnail)
I wonder who directed, shot and edited it. I'm always curious of music video teams. It's not an easy thing to shoot a music video. I've been there. 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
@@dizzledeee9674 you can actually see this info in the description of the video!!!! :)
Am in love with the Song 🤩💗🌸
You r the best and durning the summer my aunt died and my uncle and my grandma feel and they said she would die in the hospital from heart failure and when i listen to ur music u make me more happier!!!!
This video makes me sad in a way, seeing how things were just months ago. I will be counting down the days until this Covid stuff is over, and I can see you in concert😍
Thank you Dermot! You made my day away from home a lot better!
Brilliant person with one of a kind voice and heart!
so excited i featured in dermot's video for like one whole milisecond
Super stoked to check this out
It's a bittersweet video and I think it sums up his experience of Covid. He runs through the quiet streets during lockdown while thinking about pre-pandemic life and what it was like performing in front of crowds before it hit.
God I'm in love with this man from his music!!!
Life combines both happy and sad moments. It is in the light of sad events that we feel joy most keenly. by the power of the spirit, you will know everything.
Absolute Love for this video... Couldn't possibly connect more to all Dermot stands for right now 💚
I knew from the start
You'd be the one to set me free
That day in the park
When the hurt would hide from me
Those eyes used to know me, it's been way too long
You are the moon and the stars, and all they gaze upon
Time won't ever move slowly, what you waiting on?
What you waiting on?
th-cam.com/video/5kOtkRNa6ZY/w-d-xo.html
The video goes very well with the song because the video is so expressive and beautiful too 💚😍
Love the video, can’t wait till we see you live again!! Glad we saw you at the Apollo back in December ❤️.
I like to run to this song, too, Dermot! Great video!
Great singer, he deserves more. Too bad it is so underrated.
Played football with dermot only 2 years ago with crumlin United, great to see him getting successful fully deserved
Can't wait!!!
I'm sooo looking forward to see this peace of art... excited!!!!😍❤
Omg I love this! One of my favorite artists taking a stroll through my favorite city. Not to speak from this amazing song 😍😍😍
Running...raw emotions. Smiling.. this is Dermot. 💗 Still love love LOVE that one word.."Darlin"...lol..I know I'm a goof
Awe 😍😘, love the song, really like the video, nice to see Dublin/Ireland (as an American not familiar of the beautiful area you ran thru) ❣
How is no one mentioning that he has no clue how hard it is being a woman fan seeing Dermot tease us ladies singing the way he does and with no shirt 😍😘😻💋👄💙💜💝❣❣❣❣
So much better than the official video, love this! Cheers from Serbia
And you still never forget who you are and where you’re from! Still humble after the past many years! That makes me happy to see you’ve not changed! This mom is still proud of this young man!
This video gives me chills. I cannot wait until the day I can see Dermot in a public place!
You've come a long way Dermot. The journey is still going on. Please don't ever stop making music.
Beautiful video! Hope to see you again someday ❤
nothing like a night out in dublin, we really did take it for granted 😫
Love the vibes. Never stop making music Dermot!
Ahhh Dermot, I knew it that this video would've been a masterpiece :') I love every single part of it! It's so beautiful and it brings so many emotions! Watching some mini concert clips, people living their best of lives...their smiles! So precious 😭😍 the beauty of the places tho! Loved also as a concept the running part... escaping from everything else and just going back to the happy moments! You're amazing Dermot! ❤ Giants is such a wonderful song! So thankful for your music! x
So moved by this 🥺 I cant stop watching it! 💖
You are just an amazing human and know how to so completely connect with others. ❤️ This video. Cannot wait to see you live next year!
