Dermot Kennedy - Carrickfergus (Live at Ireland 100: An Old Song Resung)

[@johnnywalsh7411]

Imagine a full album of old Irish music from this man?? Wow!! This is is special 😮‍💨

[@BigFui]

i'd pay alot of money for it, simple as that

[@barbaravallejos8324]

I will forever wait for an album that includes only folk songs! This was purely beautiful.

[@danielosullivan3110]

Could not agree with you more ☘️❤️‍🔥

[@irispollinger2925]

A 100 times yes pleeeeaaassseee

[@acpika1221]

I’d be dying for this

[@Drizztviet]

I second that

[@BigFui]

it would be on repeat for me

[@25261006]

I would lay the entire catalogue of traditional Irish ballads and laments at the feet of this man to continue the legacy of great Irish artists…he is exceptional

[@rosaleenomeara4218]

Just saw this on tv and felt compelled to say my kids are so lucky to have Dermot Kennedy in their time to revitalise our beautiful ballads. He is such a wonderful talent

[@saolálainn]

Isn't he amazing Rosaleen❤

[@Connykamper]

I've heard the song a hundred times - but it gave me goosebumps for the first time!

[@rossfraser6287]

I wish Dermot would get these songs put onto his Spotify. 🙏

[@philaeew4866]

An old, deep soulful song, sung by an old, deep and musical soul. Just beautiful.

[@matsernn]

Holy fuckin shit. Dermot is one of a kind. Along Capaldi two of the best singers the last 10-20 years.

[@danielosullivan3110]

You ain't kidding, brother ❤️‍🔥☘️🇮🇪

[@jamiefraser6682]

This rendition reminds me of how beautiful it is to be alive.

[@saolálainn]

Hear, hear Jamie🤩

[@asherjohnson1045]

I wish I was in Carrickfergus Only for nights in Ballygrand I would swim over the deepest ocean The deepest ocean for my love to find But the sea is wide and I cannot swim over Neither have I wings to fly If I could find me a handsome boatsman To ferry me over to my love and die My childhood days bring back sad reflections Of happy times spent so long ago My childhood friends and my own relations Have all passed on now like melting snow But I'll spend my days in endless roaming Soft is the grass, my bed is free Ah, to be back now in Carrickfergus On that long road down to the sea I'll spend my days in endless roaming Soft is the grass, my bed is free But I am sick now, and my days are numbered Come all you young men and lay me down

[@GlenShire]

My God Above. One listen and it made me weep. 46 yrs old. Major problem drinker still learning and healing. Stunning bud. Just stunning! Thank you so much!

[@Frederik-xi6se]

All the best to you! As Mark Kermode always says: It’ll be alright in the end. And if it’s not alright, it’s not the end 🙂

[@saolálainn]

Ah pal, sending you lots and lots of love❤

[@bengledhill7530]

This is genuinely the most incredible thing I have ever heard

[@ADarASta_R]

1:28 🎻hits my violin soul and touches my 🎹 piano hearts 💙 2:55 Amazing 👏 🎼🎶🎵✨💖✨🎵🎶🎼

[@CiaranWhite-n7v]

I have never commented nor have I ever been on social media but I have come on here in the hope it reaches Dermot to say that this is the most beautiful song I have ever heard Joe soap plumber hand on heart flawless. Thank you

[@JacquelineCooper-x1v]

This song has been sung by the best singers but i have never felt a singer hit my heart like Dermot does when he sings it💛💙

[@cordelialange7754]

Diese Stimme...Ich schließe meine Augen und höre sie...So voller Kraft,emotional total im Rausch...WUNDERSCHÖN...

[@katlivesmusic7086]

As a long-time fan of Irish traditional music, l must say this is simply beautiful . I'd love to hear your versions of a few more trad songs.

[@Patsy-s9d]

Just play this Dermot over and over so beautiful wow wow I can’t say words how this song touches me 🎻🎹🎶🎵⚽️🐕🐶💪💚☘️❤️

[@tommac396]

This song has been sung many a time after a good session, brings back many memories for me, some very emotional. There is nothing on this planet like a good Irish sing song, Raglan road, Spancil hill, The Green Fields of France, a soldiers promise etc, can’t beat it. As for this performance it’s unreal, beautiful performance…

[@joysmith7947]

Truly beautiful - Dermot please do an album of traditional Irish Songs that was wonderful - a 🇬🇧Fan

[@williebyrne1]

This is mine and my mams favourite song i cant wait to show her this version i know she will love it❤❤❤

[@Patsy-s9d]

This is so beautiful the lyrics put tears in my eyes your voice Dermot is amazing 🎹🎵🎶☘️⚽️🐶

[@DeniseGiordani]

Eu ouvi essa música com tantos cantores e cantoras a versão pra mim mais bonita é com Dermot. Ela chega a doer na alma...

[@fauxfurslipper]

This had me in tears! 🥺🥺🥹🥹💔 You really did this song so much justice, Dermot! Hauntingly beautiful and bittersweet. I shared it with my sister and she thought it was a theatre piece!

[@yevheniia_zinko]

The music I'm listening is come and goes and only Dermot stays in my playlist always. Another music can make me sad, angry, happy... and only Dermot's songs, even if they are "sad" make me happy always.

[@Carolinejonesofficials]

I was on my scrolling mode when I saw your comment and was moved to send a text, hope you are having a good day?

[@Patsy-s9d]

Put this on a album just shivers down my spine when you sing this 🎵🎶🎹♥️🎻wow x

[@LoadingPing]

Dermot sings this one perfectly! ❤ the violin coming in, beautiful!

[@caoimhemannion4308]

Been listening on repeat since this performance, absolutely stunning!

[@reginametzler7945]

Ich liebe dieses Lied! Es geht mir sehr nahe! Die Stimme von Dermot 💗❤️‍🔥👍🫶

[@danielosullivan3110]

So very well done 😊

[@Gisele7755]

I didn’t think more beauty could be plied from this song until I heard Dermot Kennedy sing it. I swear he could make stones weep. This is class 🫶

[@joehannanalbum8689]

Very well put.

[@dorotab7724]

This rendition is a pure gold. Your singing touched my soul. Dermot, you are one of a kind!

[@ivonnema78]

It's always incredible how beautifully you can sing and how you make every song your own. ♡

[@briandanaher3020]

There was a guy who sang this song in our secondary school talent show circa 2003 and I was mesmorised, he was an inconspicuous kind of guy but with a lovely voice. It brings me back, I hope he's still singing

[@ladyotis55400]

Absolutely incredible. His voice is truly one of a kind. And this rendition of this song- it’s beyond. Can’t help but tear up. I wish it was available on iTunes to purchase. I will just keep rewatching this til is.

[@aprilmatson1682]

I Wish I was back in Cork…. Every day ❤

[@danielosullivan3110]

We lost Saint Shane Macgowan yesterday. Son, you now the front line. It would do you well to pay tribute to the legend 🇮🇪

[@GZCon]

Happy St Patrick's day!

[@chazcazz2764]

i feel your passion 😊

[@marybfast]

Wow! My favorite version of this song ever. Tears!!!!! What I wouldn’t give to hear you sing some of these old songs on an entire album. This and The Parting Glass are breathtaking when you sing them.

[@dimcbride8969]

Couldn’t agree more , massive respect for the justice Dermot does to these two songs , best I’ve heard 👌🏆💪🤩

[@saolálainn]

Glen and Ronan do an amazing version of this as well but honestly this was sublime....Love it Dermo

[@newen81]

Breathtaking! I hope this gets released for purchase sometimes. I have probably listened to this 60 times in two days.

[@GZCon]

I'm the same! I can't stop listening. I'm from Carrickfergus and living in Australia so it hits deep

[@ioannazachou8257]

So in love with this performance. An explosion of emotions through lyrics and that unique, powerful voice. It takes your breath away, it moves your heart... simply brilliant

His music is great , listening from🇺🇸

[@sabinepohl5903]

WOW ❤😢 How beautiful is his voice with this song... 😍

[@katerinagrace3]

My cat just told me to tell you about him first. Can't refuse. (He Swyped in "My" just as I was about to open with another part first) My cat just came and laid down next to me quietly as this was playing and then started batting at the phone when it ended. "Wait, put it back on, Mom. I liked that." I'm pretty sure I could listen to this a thousand times and find a new bit of beauty in it each time. My cat could too. Simply subreatheous 💛💛 Thank you for sharing ♥️♥️ Love, me and my cat (Sorry for the brevity, must replay)

[@KokoBrill]

Literally made me weep. Just beautiful.

Hi dear I hope you are having a good day Where you are..? This song hits so deeply into my heart and It keep a refreshing memory to me about someone I can't have back anymore 😢.
