LYRICS
A thief in the night came
Took everything you gave for her
This song isn't low, lady
It's remembering love made in the summer
But I think of the things that it taught me
I learned that there's beauty I can't keep
Learned that there's demons in stories
So letting her down, no, I won't be
Whenever she's calling, she'll call me
Angry and seething as the sea
Songs in cathedrals in month three
Promise you'll smile off a memory
And I, I, I
I couldn't stop smiling like the whole way home
And yeah, it should feel like something you were missing
To all my friends, you'll find your way
Some summer night, I hope I see you again
All my friends, I'd love to stay
Some summer night, I hope I see you again
Looking up lately
The moon doesn't chase me no more
Before it was childlike
Lost in the soft light, and so on
And I, I, I
I couldn't stop smiling like the whole way home
And yeah, it should be when she read out all she'd written
To all my friends, you'll find your way
Some summer night, I hope I see you again
All my friends, I'd love to stay
Some summer night, I hope I see you again
The smell of rain and streetlight thrown
A love, a lantern in the snow
When she feels it taking hold
She finds it so hard letting go
How can I tell her that we'll shine?
She dreads the devil's yet to show
So damn reluctant to expose it to me, so
So I think of the things that it taught me
And she starts to think evil has lost me
I walked with the wolves and it haunts me
She steps with intention to run free
So stunner, don't ever move softly
You've been on a journey they can't see
When dancing in ballrooms, you will lead
Promise you'll smile off a memory
And I, I, I
I couldn't stop smiling like the whole way home
And yeah, it should feel like something you were missing
To all my friends, you'll find your way
Some summer night, I hope I see you again
All my friends, I'd love to stay
Some summer night, I hope I see you again
The smell of rain and streetlight thrown
A love, a lantern in the snow
But when she feels it taking hold
She finds it so hard letting go
How can I tell her that we'll shine?
She dreads the devil's yet to show

When you step back, and look at Irish artists, Dermot, Hozier, Walking On Cars, Kodaline ect, you really do appreciate this small isle we call home for it's ability to create amazing artists.

From a 58 year old grandfather...this music is as good as anything I have ever heard...and I listen to music constantly.

[@phantasticmrphasma9874]

Hes amazing. Not got the best ‘traditional’ singing voice but i don’t know if i’ve ever heard another man be able to put so much raw emotion into his sound, and mix that with his picture-painting lyrics, hes a phenomenal artist, seen him live twice, once a few weeks ago in cardiff castle, which was an epic setting for a concery

[@danielosullivan3110]

Agreed 💯☘️🥂🚬

[@Elke-f4b]

YOU are sooooo right, and the story never ends!

[@kyleyoung36]

Dermot, my girlfriend showed me your music. You are absolutely amazing my friend. I promised her we’d see you in concert, and we managed to before all of the madness. We came to Montreal. 5 hour drive to see you my friend!! Thank you!!! Keep up the great work!!

[@existentialshorty7847]

I can't believe FIRST of all he even rolled thru Edmonton! but he did and I feel the same way...... kinda beat the madness. it will be a serious treat if we see him again.. especially with the venue ayayay! lol

[@blackburnsworld7324]

Doesn’t matter how I bad or good I’m feeling. When I listen to your music, I just go to a complete equal and calm place. Love your music

‘So i think of the things that it taught me’.. that whole verse just talks to me on such a deep level, of my journey, and in general of journeys of bad decisions and pain, ascension and finding a better place, of confidence and security.. true poet

[@HannahEmily1999]

Still remember the very moment I heard you the first time Dermot, it was 3 years ago. Sitting on my bedroom floor packing up to move from my home town for the first time and All My Friends came on. It is nostalgic for me.

[@kathrynb7439]

Hannah Emily oh my god, same. Heard him before a move across the country and just bawled. 😭

[@moderatelyamusing94]

I heard the Vevo Lift version and I had to sit down and just listen to All My Friends.

[@srt5musik]

I've always wondered about this. Sounds like him coming to the states to pursue his dreams and saying goodbye for now.

[@spicesmiles]

It was Moments Passed for me, packing as well! 😊

He is a true poet, a beautiful soul. His music just takes my heart and rips it right out of my chest then squeezes it to match the salty tears streaming down my face. I just saw him exactly this time a week ago. I still can't get ALL of the setlist out of my head ❤

If you are here then you have a really good taste of music! Hope many people will find this masterpiece.

[@ashwindsouza5273]

Hey! Could you interpret this song for me please? What does "evil has lost me" mean? And what does he refer to while saying "she"?

[@WookJnr]

@@ashwindsouza5273 "evil has lost me" means its lost him like its gone

[@cjnader5971]

@@ashwindsouza5273 When he first said "she dreads the devils yet to show" he means that she loved him but was scared that because he is touring the world that she would lose that love. later when he said "she starts to think that evil has lost me" was his way of saying that she is starting to realise that he loves her and no matter how far he goes. his love for her will always bring him right back to her. its really a song about living a life so far from home. And Dermot has such an amazing gift to express his feeling in this way.

Have to have it drawn out, acknowledged, drawn reason from, then released. Seriously. My journal...LOL!

Just discovered this guy randomly, after listening to his work, this Lost in The Soft Light EP is what I need in my life. The original versions are good but these are so beautiful and IMO far superior and I hope he does many more like this

[@m_0863]

Think of a young guy with a hard accent who had my back 100% on the day that I bought a book, dropped it, and met him at a bar. All the groups were working together incredibly then. Lost another older friend recently. Likely will not see either of them again, but we were there together. There is a permanent warm place in my heart for both of them and both their native homes and ancestral people. It was getting complicated, but we all made ready.
