Dermot could cover Baby Shark and I’d still be emotionally attached to it somehow. His talent is unmatched. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[steffuk]

Dude's voice is on another level, pure emotion and so captivating.

[foxcharris]

Seriously feel like I have never found another artist that touches me straight to the center of my being like Dermot. Amazing

[shanbarnes]

Dermot covering J Cole, dreams do come true

[MarkHarris]

Something is wrong with your ear holes and brain if you don’t think this guy isn’t one of the most talented artists out there.

[Kjedever]

Quality stuff 👏 I tell ya he could sing about someone butterin toast & he'd leave ya with a lump in ur throat. Very gifted guy

[seanlawson]

The powertrip hook sound's like a Dermot Kennedy lyric, this is lovely

[staceyrose]

So much control in his voice... it's perfect.

[sarahshouldis]

1:07-1:10 😨😰😱

[MillerJ]

This guy.
Every single song I hear from him is like a freight train smashing through my ears.
Unearthly voice.

[jennuurr]

That note! ‘Would you believe me if I said I was in love’ oh my actually days! I melt everytime! I beg of you pleaseeee record this! Just unreal! That raspe in his voice!

[ghostlypllor]

Dermot covering Cole is my favorite thing ever 😍

[tylersweede]

I'm so glad that Dermot is here to shine a light on these lesser known artists' songs by covering them with his honey-coated gravel road of a voice.

[charlene]

I'm dying his voice a bullet in the chest...
This year him and Lewis Capaldi got my heart 😍😍🔥

LYRICS


Got me up all night
All I'm singing is love songs, she got me up all night
Constant drinking and love songs, she got me up all night
Down and out with these love songs, she got me up all night
OK, back when I was sleepin' in my mama crib
Even back then when I was up there in Mohammed crib
Payin' seventeen-hundred for the rent, money well spent
No heater, but already made heat, may I vent? Had a thing for you
Even wrote the song dreams for you
'Cause I had dreams for you, thoughts of a ring for you
Childishness, you know childishness
Anonymous flowers sent, you know cowardness
Now I’m signed to Hov, took a power trip
Back home I'm grown now and this city's my throne now
The same clubs I used to get tossed out
Life got crisscrossed, totally crossed out
'Cause now I'm in this and I'm totally bossed out
Old chicks cryin' 'cause they know that they lost out
But I'm still on you, I'm still on you
My drink spilled on me, while I feel on you, I'm saying
Would you believe me if I said I'm in love? Baby, I want you to want me
Would you believe me if I said I'm in love?
And we are we are we are, all I'm singin' is love songs
And we are we are we are, all I'm singin' is love songs
And we are we are we are, all I'm singin' is love songs
I've asked about you and they've told me things
But my mind didn't change
I still the feel the same
What's a life with no fun, please don't be so ashamed
I've had mine, you've had yours we both know
We know, they don't get you like I will
My only wish is I die real
'Cause that truth hurts, and those lies heal
And you can't sleep thinking that he lies still
So you cry still, tears all in the pillow case
Big girls all get a little taste
Pushing me away so I give her space
Dealing with a heart that I didn't break
I'll be there for you, I will care for you
I keep thanking you, just don't know
Trying to run from that, say you're done with that
On your face girl, it just don't show
When you're ready, just say you're ready
When all the baggage just ain't as heavy
And the parties over, just don't forget me
We'll change the pace and we'll just go slow
You won't ever have to worry,
You won't ever have to hide
I’ve you seen all my mistakes
And look me in my eyes
'Cause if you let me, here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you
I’ll take, I’ll take…
I’ve loved and I’ve lost
One time, been in love one time
You and all your girls in the club one time
All so convinced that you're following your heart
'Cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes
We all have our nights though, don't be so ashamed
I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know
We know,
You hate being alone, you ain't the only one
You hate the fact that you bought the dream
And they sold you one
You love your friends but somebody shoulda told you somin'
You hate being alone, you ain’t the only one
You hate the fact that you bought the dream
You love your friends but somebody shoulda told you somin'
And they sold you one
Instead they say, instead the say…
Would you believe me if I said I'm in love? Baby, I want you to want me
Would you believe me if I said I'm in love?
All I'm singing is love songs, she got me up all night
Constant drinking and love songs, she got me up all night
Down and out with these love songs, she got me open all night
Got me open all night…

[jirivesely]

Irish version of a nuclear weapon! So powerful! Dermot you're the best!

[joharamunthir]

Never thought i could love this song more. Until Dermot sings it.

[FilmedByMiguel]

Guarantee Dermot is going to manifest a song with some of his favorite hip hop artists like J. Cole or Drake. There’s gonna be a time when Dermot’s career is going to reach a level where he’s undeniable worldwide. Similar to Ed Sheeren. Can’t wait for the day he collabs with J. Cole. Two of my favorites writing a song that the world needs to hear. Imagine it.
