    For island fires and family has honestly saved me last night. I nearly reached rock bottom again, but hearing such lyrics made me remember there are other people in this world who can feel such deep feelings and it's not only me being so different. You probably won't see that message, but thank you so much for your music Dermot.

    Damn. He's such a beautiful songwriter. For Island Fires and Family made me think about the first girl I ever loved, she's also the "one who got away". I was 17 and completely oblivious to how much I actually loved her, and how special of a connection we shared. I didn't realize it until a few years after we lost contact with each other. I've tried finding her again, with no luck. It's been 9 years and she still pops in my head from time to time, like right now. Where ever she is, I hope she's happy in life and I hope she can somehow feel that I still think of her.

    I wanna know who you are
    I want your heart to beat for me
    Oh I
    Want you to sing to me softly
    'Cause then I'm outrunning the dark
    That's all that love ever taught me
    Oh I
    Call and I'll rush out
    All out of breath now
    You've got that power over me, my my
    Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
    You've got that power over me, my my
    The only one I know, the only one on my mind
    You've got that power over me (my my)
    Got that power over me (my my)
    You've got that power over me
    Remember the lake in the moonlight?
    Remember you shivered and shone?
    I'll never forget what you looked like
    On that night
    But I know that time's gonna take me
    I know that day's gonna come
    I just want the devil to hate me
    Oh I
    Call and I'll rush out
    All out of breath now
    You've got that power over me, my my
    Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
    You've got that power over me, my my
    The only one I know, the only one on my mind
    You've got that power over me (my my)
    Got that power over me (my my)
    You've got that power over me
    It was all in doubt
    They were all around
    So we'll hide away and never tell
    You decide if darkness knows you well
    That lesson of love, all that it was
    I need you to see
    You've got that power over me, my my
    Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
    You've got that power over me, my my
    The only one I know, the only one on my mind
    You've got that power over me
    (Woo)
    I know that I let her down, no
    Let her down, no
    You've got that power over me, my my
    Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
    Got that power over me, my my
    The only one I know, the only one on my mind
    You've got that power over me
    For Island Fires and Family:
    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 actually stumbled across Dermot Kennedy while watching Hozier's Mahogany session years ago. One of Dermot's videos popped up in my suggested playlist and it was love at first listen. Dermot has been on my daily rotation for going on four years now. His voice has carried me through some difficult and beautiful chapters of life. Back in 2017, I had tickets to go and see him at a gig in Montreal. It was a small venue since it was back before he was blowing up the way he is today and tickets were ridiculously inexpensive I think $25/piece. Unfortunately, I had to miss the show because my daughter was only a couple of months old and the three hour drive to the venue wasn't going to happen. I gifted my tickets to my brother and introduced him to Dermot's music. I am so happy to see the success that Dermot is receiving. It is so well deserved! I am keeping my fingers crossed that he may have more Canadian dates in the future but I am incredibly bummed to know that the next time it won't be a very intimate gig.

    I wanna be king in your story
    I wanna know who you are
    I want your heart to beat for me
    Oh I
    Want you to sing to me softly
    You can stand, I'm outrunning the dark
    That's all that love ever taught me
    Oh I
    Call and I'll rush out
    All out of breath now
    You got that power over me, my my
    Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
    You got that power over me, my my
    The only one I know, the only one on my mind
    You got that power over me (my my)
    You got that power over me (my my)
    You got that power over me
    Remember the lake in the moonlight?
    Remember you shivered and shone
    I'll never forget what you looked like
    On that night
    I know that time's gonna take me
    I know that day's gonna come
    I just want the devil to hate me
    Oh I
    Call and I'll rush out
    All out of breath now
    You got that power over me, my my
    Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
    You got that power over me, my my
    The only one I know, the only one on my mind
    You got that power over me (my love)
    You got that power over me (my love)
    You got that power over me
    It was all in doubt
    They were all around
    So we hide away and never tell
    You decide that darkness knows you well
    That lesson of love, all that it was
    I need you to see
    You got that power over me, my my
    Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
    You got that power over me, my my
    The only one I know, the only one on my mind
    You got that power over me, woo!
    I know that you let her down, no
    Let her down low
    You got that power over me, my my
    Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
    You got that power over me, my my
    The only one I know, the only one on my mind
    You got that power over me
    Mmm-mmm
    Mmm-mmm

    This is where Dermot's music takes me....to a place I once knew and fight every single day to get back to...."For her soft blue eyes that dance on my mahogany skin under the pink moonlight and for that birth mark on her bottom lip that I still crave to bite till I am drunk on her ecstacy and passed out only by the fumes of our love, still..."

    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

      This dude always sounds like he's singing about a girl but he's not, he's singing about Lucifer. "Her coming home" is referencing the coming of the antichrist. Same with the moon and stars. Lucifer is the bringer of light. His songs are full of trickery. He's a Luciferian praising his greatest love, Lucifer.

    Absolutely amazing. I have been a fan since there were only a handful, and I must say, as I've watched on his journey,.. I am SOOO glad that he is getting the recognition he so rightfully deserves. When it comes to lyrically and emotionally creating a song, he knows no limits. Just when I think I can't like his music more, he creates new renditions that go beyond my expectations. When it comes to music, some have the capability of being so intune, .. they become music themselves. I'm not a psycho fan, I just feel his music as it was intended,.. and i'll take a soul poored out on pages over the top 40s any day. Music is meant to be felt.. and he feels it. And he dedicates his profession to making sure we can feel it to. An amazing Artist. Thank you 🖤
