Derek, you have a terrific voice and a great talent, best wishes for a long successful career, which you will have, great lyrics, music and of course, a great VOICE.

[@patriciafox1495]

Just heard of Derek today as a post on Facebook. Looked him up on KZbin. Brilliant singer and songwriter. Love ❤️ songs that tell a story. I’m living in Australia so not up to date on the Irish ☘️ country music scene. But I hope he is tops over there.

[@kalonihall9973]

Derek, your voice is a blessing from above. I'm from America and listen to your country more than anything I listen to here. Looking forward to more Irish country when I move there in 5 months. May God Bless You!

[@colinmcclair2547]

As I went out walking, on a fine summers day. Through hills and the valleys, I soon lost my way. 'till I came to an old man, kneeling down by a stream. Gazing into the water, like he was lost in a dream. In his hand was a picture, he clung to for life. His eyes filled with tears, as he tried not to cry. He looked to the heaven's and started to pray. In the quiet country silence, I could hear the man say. Life is a river, I'll go with the flow. And where it will take me, the Lord only knows. I'll miss you sweetheart, your kindness and love. But I know one day, we'll sail away on God's ocean above. He said now young man, your a stranger to me. Could I bother you kindly, for your company. Today I am thinking, of a time long ago. And I need to tell someone, of a girl I loved so. It's forty-two years today, since Rose took my hand. And proudly I lived life, her husband her man. 'Till only last week son, God took her away. As I kissed her softly, these words she did say. Life is a river, I'll go with the flow And where it will take me, the Lord only knows I miss you sweetheart, your kindness and love. But I know one day, we'll sail away on God's ocean above. And with that the old man, sent me on my way And sat by the water, I'll kneel for the day I look at the river, starting out on it's life. It's where I feel close to, my beautiful wife.
