Lyrics When everything was broken The devil hit his second stride But you remember what I told you Someday, I'll need your spine to hide behind For fear of moments stolen I don't wanna say goodnight But I'll still see you in the morning Still know your heart and still know both your eyes I could have told you ‘bout the long nights How no one loves the birds that don't rise So you can tell the heroes go hide My sense of wonder's just a little tired But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine I know you'd never leave me behind But I am lost this time Are we destined to burn or will we last the night? I will hold you 'til I hold you right But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine So we'll run into the open Keep your hand inside of mine And then when everything is over I hope to think of this as better times The sky got red and swollen I guess I never see the signs There can't be songs for every soldier It can't be solace every time you cry I could have told you ‘bout the long nights How no one loves the birds that don't rise So you can tell the heroes go hide My sense of wonder's just a little tired But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine I know you'd never leave me behind But I am lost this time Are we destined to burn or will we last the night? I will hold you 'til I hold you right But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine I was lost 'til I found you Now these songs will hold and hide your name All it was was all about you Since that night, the moon has never seemed the same And if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine I know you'd never leave me behind But I am lost this time What if the love you deserve is love you never find? I've learned in love and death, we don't decide And if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine
Mahogany Sessions Thank you for this video and the lyrics! Pure perfection ❤️. I didn‘t know this channel until yesterday and I am already in love with it! 🙏🏻
@@elafalzahrani8511 I believe he's using the bird rising analogy in regards to being successful and accomplishing something, or overcoming something. Birds are admired for their ability to fly, a bird that can't is essentially a failure, and a failure in life don't get much love or any at all. I think he's being introspective.. I could be completely wrong but that's how I interrupted it.
@@Grey_fox12 Nah I think you're right. People associate birds with freedom because of their ability to fly. If a bird can't fly they just become like everything else on the ground.
What do you do when you see a bird soaring over head? You gaze up in wonder and awe at their majesty. What do you do when you look down at a bird pottering around on the ground? Nothing much. I think it's analogous to life. Those with drive and ambition, those who take responsibility and can persevere and soar are looked upon with respect and admiration. Those who are happy dwelling in mediocrity fade into obscurity. (my interpretation)
I simultaneously want everyone to hear his music and see how magical and amazing he is ... and want to keep him this little fan base we have secret bc it’s so special and the shows are so intimate. The struggle is real. He is on a whole other level than anyone else making music right now.
I've had internal debates on who I should share him with because I want to keep him a secret. Gave in and told two people about my personal favorite "Glory", and one turned around and said he was mediocre. Still pissed about it.
Not only that, but can we talk about how no one will ever have as good a posture as Jonny's? I'm like the Hunchback of Notre Dame over here compared to that...
@japan0phile1 Ive been away for 5 years and when I heard him first it really stands out in a good way. I know what you mean about other singers but Dermot has the accent.
“There can’t be a song for every soldier; It can’t be solace every time you cry”...”What if the love you deserve is love you never find ?” JAYSUS this song is so damn lyrically beautiful. So many verses and beats just hit bone deep.
Just found this gem. I much prefer this version over the original as I’m not a fan of all the electronic music. The strings and piano bring an entirely different emotion to this, and I feel a deeper connection to it.
i have just been so into dermot this past year, so this is such a real treat. love his music and his lyrics, a bit of ben howard and thats absolutely brilliant.
How have I only just stumbled across this? Sat here, southern Spain, sun is shining, birds are cheeping.... Filling the countryside with this song right now. Whag a memory created... Massive thanks 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
If anyone has the chance I strongly suggest hearing this live!!!!! Honestly all of his songs but it was so beautiful there was dead silence in the crowd and tears everywhere!!
My dog is snoozing next to me, she literally looked up into my eyes filled with love?? Then at the screen, huffed, then turned back to sleep. You’ve got a doggy fan
Hey Mahogany Sessions, We’d like to get in contact with you about using this video in a project we’re working on with Dermot Kennedy. If you’d like to be involved please comment with your email below and we’ll get in touch with you! Thank you! Amanda
I just discovered Dermot Kennedy recently and ever since my days have been enriched and blessed with his heart and soul. Every song is a treasure and I want every moment to last forever. Thank you Mahogany Sessions for bringing Dermot Kennedy to our hearts. I can't wait to see him in concert.
I discovered Dermot 2 days ago, every song and lyric has been on repeat and analysed! WOW! A ticket for a Live show has been purchased I can't get enough
Every once in a while, the road of your life intersects with the work of an artist who has poured their experiences out for you in a way that reaches into where you are and walks with you for a time. More than just a soundtrack, there is a shared emotional connection- you literally feel what they are expressing and are moved by it. I wept, straight up broken. Thanks Dermot I needed that, can't wait to see you again in April!! God Bless and keep you, you are a gift.
[Verse 1] When everything was broken The devil hit his second stride But you remember what I told you Someday, I'll need your spine to hide behind For fear of moments stolen I don't wanna say goodnight But I'll still see you in the morning Still know your heart and still know both your eyes [Pre-Chorus] I could have told you ‘bout the long nights How no one loves the birds that don't rise So you can tell the heroes go hide My sense of wonder's just a little tired [Chorus] But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine I know you'd never leave me behind But I am lost this time Are we destined to burn or will we last the night?

Something about his music in buildings like this, Idk what it is but the audio is absolutely amazing EVERYTIME! That's softness and sincerity in his voice is absolutely priceless! Pure Serenity in every song!
The most incredible vocals I’ve heard live.... your voice is next level amazing... your on repeat and my whole household loves your music all the way from Australia 🇦🇺
Both my daughter and I love this man. Absolutely pure vocals. Incredible vocal control. Beautiful melodies. Love stories .... a song must tell us a story and he delivers every time. Bravo!
"I know you'd never leave me behind, but I am lost this time." Wow that lyric just punched me in the gut. That's exactly how I felt when I was at the height of my depression. This is so gorgeous.
The first time I heard this song, my mom had just passed away. Just a touch over five years ago. I know this song is probably meant to be romantic, but for some reason, it makes me think of her every time. I don’t think I’ve gotten through it once without absolutelyfalling apart sobbing. It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard, and I’m so glad it was gifted to us.
Lost Dermot Kennedy When everything was broken The devil hit his second stride But you remember what I told you Someday, I'll need your spine to hide behind For fear of moments stolen I don't wanna say goodnight But I'll still see you in the morning Still know your heart and still know both your eyes I could have told you ‘bout the long nights How no one loves the birds that don't rise So you can tell the heroes go hide My sense of wonder's just a little tired But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine I know you'd never leave me behind But I am lost this time Are we destined to burn or will we last the night?

My boyfriend first introduced me to dermot’s music about a year ago. We used to have late night car journeys where we’d both just sing along for hours. Now that my boyfriend has passed away, I find so much comfort in these songs, especially this one. All I can see in my mind when I hear Dermot’s voice is my lovely boy’s face and his massive smile that he wore when singing these words to me. Thank you dermot❤️
I’ve heard this song plenty of times without really paying attention but this left me speechless. The combination of his voice along with the instruments is heavenly
Oh Dermot, I hoped so much for an acoustic version of this song - and here it is. Even more beautiful than I imagined. Great composition of the instruments and your voice. Incredibly good!
5 more sleeps till i hear your beautiful voice live for the first time , you have help me through my griefing process for My True Love My Darling boy Christopher , who passed away suddenly to advanced stage 4 pancriatic cancer he was 45 years old
Even as a songwriter I’ve never wanted a lyric tattooed on me more than “what if the love you deserve is love you’ll never find”… brutal but so so honest 🥲
His music found me after I thought that every single musician I loved had gone commercial. Thank you so, so much from the depth of my heart for being you and bringing the meaning back.
Saw him live, going to again in May. His voice is chillingly beautiful. Powerful, emotion, brilliant lyrics... what's not to love? Thank you for your music Dermot
I’m sorry you’re in so much pain. I pray every night for you to have strength and find your way to me. Let me in..tell me what’s going on within you. I’m always here for you. You’re never alone..💗💗
This performance is nothing short of a Masterpiece ! 🙌🏾😭🎶💕 Dermot's mind-blowing voice and passion in singing, the powerful lyrics, pure poetry in my book, the beautiful musicians, all these strings 🥺 my fave. Just ethereal ! ✨❤️ Grateful for this amazing Artist 💚
Lyrics
When everything was broken
The devil hit his second stride
But you remember what I told you
Someday, I'll need your spine to hide behind
For fear of moments stolen
I don't wanna say goodnight
But I'll still see you in the morning
Still know your heart and still know both your eyes
I could have told you ‘bout the long nights
How no one loves the birds that don't rise
So you can tell the heroes go hide
My sense of wonder's just a little tired
But if only you could see yourself in my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine
I know you'd never leave me behind
But I am lost this time
Are we destined to burn or will we last the night?
I will hold you 'til I hold you right
But if only you could see yourself in my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine
So we'll run into the open
Keep your hand inside of mine
And then when everything is over
I hope to think of this as better times
The sky got red and swollen
I guess I never see the signs
There can't be songs for every soldier
It can't be solace every time you cry
I could have told you ‘bout the long nights
How no one loves the birds that don't rise
So you can tell the heroes go hide
My sense of wonder's just a little tired
But if only you could see yourself in my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine
I know you'd never leave me behind
But I am lost this time
Are we destined to burn or will we last the night?
I will hold you 'til I hold you right
But if only you could see yourself in my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine
I was lost 'til I found you
Now these songs will hold and hide your name
All it was was all about you
Since that night, the moon has never seemed the same
And if only you could see yourself in my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine
I know you'd never leave me behind
But I am lost this time
What if the love you deserve is love you never find?
I've learned in love and death, we don't decide
And if only you could see yourself in my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine
Mahogany Sessions Thank you for this video and the lyrics! Pure perfection ❤️. I didn‘t know this channel until yesterday and I am already in love with it! 🙏🏻
Julia Blasic you got some serious catching up to do 😂
Full of gems this channel ✌🏼enjoy
Thank you :)
Beautiful... I just found this song- you uploaded this video on my birthday- thank you so much!!
Real Music! Exceptional!
"I've learned in love and death we don't decide.." Dermot is such a treasure
He's pure gold!
Such a powerful song lyric
IndieAir I’m your 666 comment 😈
So true. First time I heard that sentence I was like ,wow ☹️ no we don't
Who gave dermot permission to be a walking angel
The violinists really provide a new and wonderful perspective on this song, stunning
I’d say all the strings do, the Cellos more so even if anything .
All the instruments are so refreshing to hear...
yesss
MagmaCow it adds a beautiful, somber quality that pairs perfectly with the lyrics
Yeah, it's be nice if Mahogany credited them in the description.
"No one loves the birds that dont rise" #chills
i don't get it :(

Couldn't agree more.

!!!
every struggle
I can't wait till Dermont gets his first Grammy!!! Who's with me on this???
Who gave dermot permission to be a walking angel
He did :).
The god of music himself did.🙏💖
He's a light worker..... he's living his bliss and showing the world what vulnerable authenticity is.
This song hit so differently, it speaks directly to my heart ❤️ and I can't help it so it's on repeat all day lol. Where are you from beautiful?
"What if the love u deserve is love u never find? .. I've learned in love and death we don't decide" he is soo special🥰❤❤❤
The violins in the background add a whole new dimension to this song
Holy shit. How dare you make something this perfect. Who do you think you guys are.
Not only that, but can we talk about how no one will ever have as good a posture as Jonny's? I'm like the Hunchback of Notre Dame over here compared to that...
Hahaha ❤️
Dermot’s Irish accent in this song (all his songs actually) hits my soul! It’s so beautiful ❤️
Is that u Mrs Kennedy?
I can always hear his brogue, too. It’s enchanting and endearing. ❤️
It's sounds like my accent.
@japan0phile1 Ive been away for 5 years and when I heard him first it really stands out in a good way. I know what you mean about other singers but Dermot has the accent.
Same here 🙋🏾♀️ his gorgeous accent does something to me 😩 ❤
It's a double edged sword when a recording of a song is so damn good you can't bear to listen to the album version anymore...
“There can’t be a song for every soldier; It can’t be solace every time you cry”...”What if the love you deserve is love you never find ?” JAYSUS this song is so damn lyrically beautiful. So many verses and beats just hit bone deep.
Dermot is a gem 🙏
He truly is 🙏
Yea he really is
Brilliant! im fascinated
I saw him live February last year, phenomenal. Truly the best artist I have ever seen live.
Absolute GEM.
Me: Music doesn't make me emotional anymore.."
Dermot Kennedy:"Hold my pint.."
Ireland is just killing it at the moment musically ...Dermot K ,picture this ,Hozier etc.
This man. His voice. These words. The musicians. It's all a massive tidal wave of blue and crimson and turbulence and peace.
Hi dear I was on my scrolling mode when I saw your profile and sent a text hope you don't find it pestering...?
‘In love and death we don’t decide’ - then why does listening to his music feel like dying and going straight to heaven? ♥️
Im 14 and this is deep
This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Lyrically it's otherworldly.
What a time to be alive with this angel here on earth! How did we ever get this lucky?!
Great Tom Walker reference.
"I will hold you til I hold you right." I feel that as a lover and a mother. He's incredible and his poetry has so many levels!
Dermot brings thoughts and feelings we've all had into meaningful lyrics with a firey passion to really hit them home to us. What an amazing artist
If you enjoyed this session, please hit the Like or Subscribe button 👍 It helps us a lot 😊 Thanks! 🖤

"I've learned in love and death we don't decide" what a lyric ❤
i have just been so into dermot this past year, so this is such a real treat. love his music and his lyrics, a bit of ben howard and thats absolutely brilliant.
Exactly what i feel! Dermot has a bit of the positive Ben Howard from 2011 (The Every Kingdom LP)
I'm addicted to this performance. The lyrics, the emotion in his raspy voice, the violins in the back, the setting ♡
Is this not just the most perfectly shot/recorded/performed mahogany session that exists?
Forever revisiting this. Thankyou Mahogany, and Dermot.
How have I only just stumbled across this? Sat here, southern Spain, sun is shining, birds are cheeping.... Filling the countryside with this song right now. Whag a memory created... Massive thanks 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Lyrically amazing and vocally astounding. Can't wait to see him again in April
Brother!!.... I would buy this version over and over again! Wonderful work 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If anyone has the chance I strongly suggest hearing this live!!!!! Honestly all of his songs but it was so beautiful there was dead silence in the crowd and tears everywhere!!
My dog is snoozing next to me, she literally looked up into my eyes filled with love?? Then at the screen, huffed, then turned back to sleep. You’ve got a doggy fan
That's so cute
He is so freaking good. Cannot wait to see him live
I absolutely love every single song Dermot has made. I swear his live performances sound just like the studio version but with like 5x more emotion.
Hey Mahogany Sessions,
We’d like to get in contact with you about using this video in a project we’re working on with Dermot Kennedy. If you’d like to be involved please comment with your email below and we’ll get in touch with you!
Thank you!

Anything ever come from this? All I see from you guys is his video about Outnumbered.
I just discovered Dermot Kennedy recently and ever since my days have been enriched and blessed with his heart and soul. Every song is a treasure and I want every moment to last forever. Thank you Mahogany Sessions for bringing Dermot Kennedy to our hearts. I can't wait to see him in concert.
I discovered Dermot 2 days ago, every song and lyric has been on repeat and analysed! WOW!
A ticket for a Live show has been purchased I can't get enough
"What if the love you deserve is love you never find?
I've learned in love and death, we don't decide" Tattooed for life... Love U Dermot!
Are we destined to burn or will we last the night?... hits me everytime
"There can't be songs for every soldier, there cant be solice every time you cry".. who thinks of this kind of stuff?

Dermot + Mahogany is ALWAYS a win/win
Dang.
Love this one more than the original version 💕💕
Best song I've heard so far in 2019....seriously a work of art. His voice is captivating
Another great artist from Dublin, Ireland
Proud to be Irish and especially a Dub :)
Amazing. Just did 3 1/2 years in Texas Department of Criminal justice
"I was lost Until I found you" "What If the love you deserve is love you never find" WOW so beautifully Shared.
Thank you Mahogany Sessions for always showing us these beautiful immensely talented artists.
Oh pleeease put that awesome piece on spotify!!
Oh yes please put this on spotify 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Came straight here after a beautiful choreography by Talia on Tim Milgram channel
This song is beautiful😍😍
Pru Leez same
And I'm crying when I watched Sean danced to this song 😭😭
@@whatareyoulookingatbish that was beautiful to watch,I repeated that part of Sean many times it was amazing and heart warming ♥️😭
I came here from his COLORS session!!!

An old woman has just found a young man - wonderful, tender and I just love it!
That was emotional
Dermot your songwriting ability is uniquely unmatched. Everything you say I believe. That is so touching
Hello
This really might be the most beautiful piece of music that I've ever heard
Both my daughter and I love this man. Absolutely pure vocals. Incredible vocal control. Beautiful melodies. Love stories .... a song must tell us a story and he delivers every time. Bravo!
"I know you'd never leave me behind, but I am lost this time." Wow that lyric just punched me in the gut. That's exactly how I felt when I was at the height of my depression. This is so gorgeous.
brought to tears from his live performance and now this. I am at a loss for words.
The first time I heard this song, my mom had just passed away. Just a touch over five years ago. I know this song is probably meant to be romantic, but for some reason, it makes me think of her every time. I don’t think I’ve gotten through it once without absolutelyfalling apart sobbing. It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard, and I’m so glad it was gifted to us.
Jesus. With the violin and cellos, this song is just elevated beyond perfection.
“No one loves the birds that don’t rise” I felt that ahhhh💕🥺

Clicked so fast, and now I'm crying so hard. wtf how dare he add strings to his songs.
Rossi Agree!
😂😂😂
His voice is phenomenal! So glad I discovered him.
Who in their crazy mind would DISLIKE THIS MASTERPIECE
My boyfriend first introduced me to dermot’s music about a year ago. We used to have late night car journeys where we’d both just sing along for hours. Now that my boyfriend has passed away, I find so much comfort in these songs, especially this one.

I’ve heard this song plenty of times without really paying attention but this left me speechless. The combination of his voice along with the instruments is heavenly
"What if the love you deserve is love you'll never find".... amazing
The lyrics are beautifully written.
Oh Dermot, I hoped so much for an acoustic version of this song - and here it is. Even more beautiful than I imagined. Great composition of the instruments and your voice. Incredibly good!
This song gives me chills every time. Such beautifully written lyricism!! 💛 true talent.
Love this song. I will hold you ‘til I hold you right is the one phrase that really gets me. Thank you 🙏🏻

Hello Jeanine,
How are you doing?
Thanks for your love and support most especially for being an amazing fan love❤.
It's nice meeting you here 🌹
If only you could see yourself in my eyes you see you shine
Even as a songwriter I’ve never wanted a lyric tattooed on me more than “what if the love you deserve is love you’ll never find”… brutal but so so honest 🥲
His music found me after I thought that every single musician I loved had gone commercial. Thank you so, so much from the depth of my heart for being you and bringing the meaning back.
Dermot Kennedy is unique AF. I’m all ears and focused on this piece.
Saw him live, going to again in May. His voice is chillingly beautiful. Powerful, emotion, brilliant lyrics... what's not to love? Thank you for your music Dermot
Tears, chills, and I’m simply in awe. Incredible.
Not one single day goes by without me listening to every single song this wonderful man has made! 💖💖 Thank you Mahogany sessions, for this.
The strings make this magical on a whole 'nother level. I didn't expect to cry, but dammit, I did.
He can do no wrong! Perfection
Nobody can explain how good he is live, you feel what he's singing
I’m sorry you’re in so much pain. I pray every night for you to have strength and find your way to me. Let me in..tell me what’s going on within you. I’m always here for you. You’re never alone..💗💗
