Thank You for being You Dermot, Your music goes deep... I can feel it! I absolutely love your music.

Absolutely mad how talented & well rounded this man is. 💚🇮🇪

Dermot makes Me so proud to be Irish He not only has that raw gritty Irishness to the core But he has depth and soul and his lyrics and writing skills are Amazing He is a true Artist

It’s bittersweet to watch his fan base grow. Part of me wants to see him get all the attention he rightly deserves, but another part of me wants to keep him all to myself. I’m so proud of him and the success he continues to have.

[@courtneynelson7489]

dermot’s music means more to me than anything i’ve ever heard. to hear the story behind it, in such detail, truly means so much dermot. thank you so much. no one does it quite like you

[@katherineryan2349]

Dermot and his gutair is my favorite, it's like a more personal level, it's so different, all he does is absolutely amazing!!

[@Kat_Catch_22]

Really it's Dermot and the piano! I have finally decided, but both are absolutely breathtaking

[@annemariegonzalez6644]

I am one who went to your gig for the first time, only knowing a couple of songs and I felt SOOO connected with the music, lyrics and incredible voice that 4 mos after I am still listening to your songs EVERY single day. Really cool insight into your process. Never change Dermot!!!! You stand out in this over saturated music biz because you do you. 👏👏❤❤❤

Sorry for your loss! I also lost my mom last year and that’s how I found Dermot! The hope I feel from his hearing his music is such a big part of what gets me through most days.

[@iLitAfuseiCantStop]

I love how humble, open & candid he is. I hope he never changes.

[@kalebbryce]

Being a part of selling out Red Rocks for him is so magical to me. I remember being at work and looking at the clock and jumping onto the internet to get those tickets. It was something I truly knew I couldn’t miss within my soul and I’m glad we share that moment in history fondly.

[@xx0303]

It's refreshing to hear someone talk positively about themselves and know their worth.

[@SusanBelfast11]

I’ve not long heard of dermot and he’s on my playlist now everyday 😀😀

[@psyismylife]

This man deserves every ounce of success, his music, writing ability and power to convey feeling in his voice has touched so many. My wife and I came to see you play in Brighton in December last year and it was just so amazing to be in the presence of his voice and his band playing. I was so concerned about his voice this year and remember that time he is talking about in the video. I'm glad he got the help he so needed! Dermot, we havent stopped playing your music for 2 whole years, I think it's the longest I've been that obsessed over just one artist. The song, without fear is just incredible and I feel so so bad for any person who still hasn't heard it, this song will always be my number one song from you. Can't wait to be able to see you again. Please do many small shows in small towns rather than a few big shows in the typical places, London, Birmingham etc as big shows ruin the intimacy people have with your music. Stay safe!

[@barbarabrady1536]

Seriously talented, educated and down to earth legend ❤️ you make us so proud to be Irish ☘️🇮🇪

[@edelcostello7365]

One of the best solo artist from Ireland,plus he doesn’t forget where he came from 💕

[@westsidebartender513]

His music can literally touch your soul.

[@marion-v6o]

Just listening to the first few minutes of this. It makes so much more sense why I resonate so much to your music. Grief is a part of our lives. Hope is always there within our grasp. Much love Dermot!

[@simonebeckley2461]

If he doesn't get a Grammy or 7 I'll truly be surprised. Dermot's music to me is like listening to a symphony. There's just so much beauty!It's so cool to see the back story. Freaking love the IRISH! 🇮🇪 You represent the best storytellers well. Well Done.

[@zaa2462]

His music really resembles his personality! So genuine!!

[@englandlad831]

My favourite artist of all time without fear & complete version is the best album on earth, this man is truly iconic & so is his music, songwriting, artistry, and distinct one of a kind voice, I love his music

[@JordanTaylorDeJac]

I could listen to you speak for days

[@realgoodmind]

He can write. His phrasing in the lyrics and the music is just phenomenal. Not many people on earth that can do what he is doing. The acoustic stuff he is doing live is amazing

[@marianne.1401]

I like your mixture of being serious and not taking yourself too seriously. Genuine, open, not being too self- assure, I love you as well as I love your songs.

[@angelaryanditlow5638]

I think I’ve been watching Dermot grow as a musician now for about 2-3 years (I can’t remember exactly but it’s been a moment) & I have to say he is a force to be reckoned with. The style & versatility of his music, his lyrics, voice, everything is something truly special. I can’t resonate with each one of his songs and I can not wait until my friends and I can watch him perform August 2021 in Grand Rapids, MI.

[@dizzledeee9674]

We're all here for you Dermot, just like you've been there for us when the times were tough, and we didn't see a way out. Thank you for sharing your art with us. Your music saves lives.

Ugh the bag pipes for sure!! The most beautiful wedding i ever been to was Scottish themed and with kelts and bagpipes! I was so young and dreamed of a wedding like that! But yes the bagpipes are absolutely fantastic 💯

[@hakankose1972]

12:33 - My favourite part of the whole album, it really is the pinnacle and the perfect ending. "Now I really think you're heaven sent, cause you've been forcing all these hollow hearts to feel again, Now I really think you're heaven sent, there's a beauty in being broken I've been seeing it" The lyrics that meant the most to me and nice to hear it's one of his favourites too.

Your music has a beautiful poetic complexity, the balance between deep darkness and the hope and the light that you found in your struggle really comes through. I have been going through similar things recently and your lyrics really speak to me and resonate. Thank you for sharing your gifts Dermot

[@yem1122]

Not only that I relate to his lyrics but man what he’s saying too ! I’m a serious and silly person at the same time I have the darkest thoughts sometimes yet I’m always throwing sarcastic comments and not taking life too seriously if that makes sense, I went through a lot of dark times that will always be a part of me but that grief and that pain I went through is beautiful in a way because it made me who I am today and I’m so grateful to hear songs and say omg I relate 💙

[@irelandadeleb]

Dermot, it is hard to properly describe what your music has done for me. When I listen to this album, it generates an almost euphoric-like feeling that gives me a sense of home within myself. Xx you are truly amazing and thank you for being authentically you

[@teemwandila4579]

Most underrated artist 😣❤️

[@TheGardenBindery]

I love when artists give the background to their music. To me, it always adds a depth that I couldn't necessarily just get from the song by itself. For example, i thought I new what Lost was about and I loved it by itself, then I saw the music video and it brought a whole new bigger meaning to it. That song is now one of my faves on the album. Grateful to watch these next 3 videos and maybe find a new new fave 🙏

[@ttpal]

Apparently I'm in the 0.05% of Dermot's listeners on Spotify. I'm honored. The music he makes is so meaningful. I love it. Can't wait until my crew neck comes in the mail and the CD so I can blast it in the car!
