    With the new album, Sonder, Dermot Kennedy admits he’s never related to a word more. Sonder, “the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own,” encapsulates universal themes of love, loss & hope, with the platinum-selling artist evolving into an even more expressive and powerful storyteller

    No matter how bad my 2020 was, Dermot Kennedy‘s music made it a lot better.

    After years of telling people this is my favorite song ever written, but then having to explain there is only one live performance, never made sense to other people. But now it is an official song.

    LYRICS : (you're welcome)
    See the killer was a coward
    Dark deeds in dark towers
    So he fled when they came
    Blowing brass, carrying chains
    They want to lock him in the dark
    They want to 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 that 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've 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 defined
    I think of all the love that 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

    I feel like the first half of the song, where it feels like a poem being acted out in front of your eyes, fits very well with the themes and even plot of Hamlet. I love this connection, even if it was unintended 🥰

    This song takes my emotions and imagination and puts me in a place where I watch it all unfold in my mind’s eye the same way it did years ago when I heard it the first time.
    I loved the raw simplicity of the original but you’ve redone this beautifully. I was actually listening to it on repeat on Spotify when the UA-cam notification popped up on my screen 🥰
    Well Done again, Dermot.

    Self & family defence ⚡️ one of the hardest subjects & songs to write about, well done Dermot. Was thinking of writing a similar one myself but hearing this one i’ve needed this. It’s a lovely song & story. No matter what you’re faced with in life. Even if with the devil. The angels have your back & help you follow the light in the dark, & help you follow the light in your heart & mind, & do the morally right/good, rather than leaving you on your own in the dark.
