from an instagram live: "this is a song i wrote a long time ago and it's kind of about if there's a place or even somebody or somewhere you'd wanna be if you were having a really bad day or if you just weren't feeling so good. i know for me it's a place off the west of Ireland that i actually haven't been to in too long but yeah, i feel like everybody's got one. so this song is called For Island Fires and Family."
♡ Lyrics ♡ How it must feel to be a bird roaming lonely over sea air how it must feel to be a bird london, paris underneath i'll wait on my own here and i couldn't tell you enough that i'm sorry and no, you couldn't tell me enough that you loved me but she's bringing 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? living 'bout half right, until a certain person got to me nothing is secret, everything'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, it's something i can't release dreams of her coming home, sweet home and 'm telling you home's so sweet said you reminded me of the summer time and i still mean that in a full room, i'm the only one she's smiling at So wouldn't you let me know if you were thinking 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's 7th circle and i was talking 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 loved me she's bringing 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 feeling when you think your heart is gonna come right out through your shirt? i get it a couple times a year but i've been getting 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 growing old too quickly was he thinking of her? but she's bringing 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
Before 1000 views :). Dermot I have to tell you that you're my favorite artist I swear. Your voice is so unique and special. You've got a huge talent man. Thanks for sharing your music. Honestly I can't stop listening to your songs. I feel something magic every time I listen to your music. Keep doing it just in the way you know.
this song is absolutely Everything. i will forever be amazed at the depth, rawness, and power behind all of your songs and the pure emotion in your voice. this song is so real and meaningful in all the best ways. crashing coastlines, fog covered mountainsides, castles, ballrooms, grand libraries, and Magic above all else. all i can say is: Thank You. this was well worth the wait (it instantly brought me to tears).
"but wouldn't you let me know if you were thinking less of me" gets me every. damn. time. ugh this guy is so good, seeing him in Birmingham in may and could not be more excited
And was on iTunes weekly list to listen to. He’s doing shows around the world and his fan base is growing! He will get the recognition in time for sure.. he deserves it. If you check his post on Instagram or his Facebook he was busking a few years ago in Ireland and then a picture against that to a full sold out theatre. We are experiencing his journey and seeing him grow into an artist that will be known worldwide soon enough 😁 sorry for the long message
I have a very sheltered, old school, hip hop influenced musical taste. Newer stuff is usually found by recommendations or happy accidents. I'm happy I accidentally clicked on Dermot's Better Days when looking for a different one. This is the fifth song of his I've listened to tonight and I'm fighting back tears. Fxcking amazing Dermot. Keep doing your thing, it's beautiful brother.
I heard you on the radio here in germany, I started to cry because I've been following you for so long, I'm just so happy for all the things you are becoming, but mostly for all the things you are staying as.
This guy! This angelic being...i mean come on guys..he's an old soul we can learn alot from. He is living proof and a reminder of what LIFE is really about. He's from an entirely new realm of a love ..a love almost never spoken before if spoken at all.
I'm so captivated and inlove with your voice. It's nothing live I've ever heard before and I'm constantly showing all my friends and family your songs. You're one in a million to me ❤ keep doing what you do best xo
This is so beautiful, I have two or three songs I want played at my wedding and this is one of them. It makes me wanna cry thinking of my boyfriend. He's always been home to me ❤
For de time I listen to your music I'm completely unawares what else is happenin around me as you totally submerge me in ur music & it's so bloody wonderful. That really was breathtakingly beautiful 🎶👏👏👏👏
Definitely my favorite song, it's impressive the way you transfer your feelings through the song, the way you sing, full of emotions, makes me feel so nostalgic and I think that your style makes us feel that what you sing is a story of life for which we have all passed through. I hope not to die without first having the pleasure of hearing you sing live!.
this song live is like, feeling ok after months of feeling worthless. there are some people who carry me, when i can’t. dermot really is angelic and that was one of the best nights of my life. there is beauty in being broken. stay alive
So unique and heartfelt! Heard "Glory" first and was catched from the very first second. Amazing how you open your heart and soul for us in your songs! Thank you so much for this. I'm sure we will witness a career like Ed Sheeran's. At the least.
I love this song but at the same time it hurts to listen to it. It feels like your words were taken from my heart and soul and suddenly I feel like I’m standing naked in front of the whole world to see my scars. Thank you, I will be eternally grateful for your beautiful music.
Your lyrics rattle my soul like an alarm clock. Simply amazing song writing. Tears and happiness and a feeling like floating. Thankyou so much for your songs.
Heya, I just wanted to comment and say that I admire you so sooo much. I really want to be a music artist when I get older - I'm 17 now - and you're such an inspiration. Your voice is so, so unique and impressive. Also, as someone who's constantly writing and trying to improve their lyrics, yours are friggin' perfect! You're completely my favourite artist, lyrically and musically.
Another absolute masterpiece by the one and only Dermot Kennedy. Look forward to the powerful video that I am sure will come with this beautiful track.

♡ Lyrics ♡
How it must feel to be a bird
roaming lonely over sea air
how it must feel to be a bird
london, paris underneath
i'll wait on my own here
and i couldn't tell you enough that i'm sorry
and no, you couldn't tell me enough that you loved me
but she's bringing 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?
living 'bout half right, until a certain person got to me
nothing is secret, everything'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, it's something i can't release
dreams of her coming home, sweet home
and 'm telling you home's so sweet
said you reminded me of the summer time and i still mean that
in a full room, i'm the only one she's smiling at
So wouldn't you let me know if you were thinking 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's 7th circle
and i was talking 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 loved me
she's bringing 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 feeling when you think your heart is gonna come right out through your shirt?
i get it a couple times a year but i've been getting 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 growing old too quickly
was he thinking of her?
but she's bringing 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 couldn't agree more with every bit of this comment.
Me either 💜
I cant wait im seeing him live in May
I’m agree with you in 197% :D
Him and Marina (Diamandis) are my favourite singers ✨
this song is absolutely Everything. i will forever be amazed at the depth, rawness, and power behind all of your songs and the pure emotion in your voice. this song is so real and meaningful in all the best ways. crashing coastlines, fog covered mountainsides, castles, ballrooms, grand libraries, and Magic above all else. all i can say is: Thank You. this was well worth the wait (it instantly brought me to tears).
(dot)
Sounds like Ireland your describing,and right you are.
I continue to miss Damien Rice and new music from him, then I found you...you have filled that space. I thank you for that.
You are seriously the best artist out there. I will always support you. Keep up the wonderful work.
I. Love you
Dermot, you've blown me away.
You do not understand the beauty in your voice Dermot. It brings even the strongest wizards to their knees. Absolute great track my man!
HOLY SHIT YESSSSS!!!! I LOVE YOU DERMOT!!! Please do more Canadian shows, Canada loves you ❤️💕❤️💕
"but wouldn't you let me know if you were thinking less of me" gets me every. damn. time. ugh this guy is so good, seeing him in Birmingham in may and could not be more excited
The same to you and you have
Chills the same way I heard it live ❤️
Wish there’d be ‘the story behind the song’ for each and everyone of his songs. How can he give so much meaning to every single word ❤️
This guys label needs to get more aggressive promoting him!!! There is no reason he shouldn't be getting world wide airplay on a regular basis!
His albums come up on spotify they can't be doing too bad some artists don't even show up in playlists.
12crows1 amen
And was on iTunes weekly list to listen to. He’s doing shows around the world and his fan base is growing! He will get the recognition in time for sure.. he deserves it.

Dermot ich liebe alle deine Songs, einfach Wahnsinn deine Stimme!❤❤❤
God bless you! Your songs touch me in the deepest parts of my heart and soul.
You are on your job.
I love this version!! Of course, the original will always be a sturdy part of my heart, but this is not half bad either!
2:21 to 2:40 is so powerful, dermot never fails to make a beautiful song huh
And there draws down another drop of tear from the eye just like the way I listened to it the first time. Lyrics draws a whole lot man. Love it 💙
Although I do prefer the original with just him and the guitar, it's still so beautiful, so proud of you Dermo ❤️ I can't wait to see you in May ❤️
I love this song but at the same time it hurts to listen to it. It feels like your words were taken from my heart and soul and suddenly I feel like I’m standing naked in front of the whole world to see my scars. Thank you, I will be eternally grateful for your beautiful music.
