Dermot Kennedy - Giants (360º Visualiser)

The new single 'Giants' is out now:

Poem by Leslie Dwight, "What if 2020 isn't cancelled?"
“What if 2020 isn’t cancelled?⁣
What if 2020 is the year we’ve been waiting for?⁣
A year so uncomfortable, so painful, so scary, so raw — that it finally forces us to grow.⁣
A year that screams so loud, finally awakening us from our ignorant slumber.⁣
A year we finally accept the need for change.⁣
Declare change. Work for change. Become the change. A year we finally band together, instead of⁣
pushing each other further apart.⁣
⁣
2020 isn’t cancelled, but rather⁣
the most important year of them all.”⁣

The debut album 'Without Fear' is out now:

LYRICS :
We used to be giants
When did we stop?
Just say the word and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot

The hope and the hurt
Has lived inside of me
But there’s gold in the dirt
I never took the time to see
But I knew of its worth when you walked beside of me
And my hand fits in yours
Like a bird would find the breeze

We used to be giants
When did we stop?
Just say the word and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot
We were the song of the silence but time catches up
Just say the word and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot

I knew from the start
That you’d be the one to set me free
That day in the park
When the hurt would hide from me
Those eyes used to know me, it’s been way too long
You are the moon and the stars, and they all gaze upon
Time won’t ever move slowly, what you waiting on?

We used to be giants
When did we stop?
Just say the word and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot
We were the song of the silence but time catches up
Just say the word and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot

Darling just say you will
Will you remember those times?
That I have held until tonight
If you say you will, I’ll leave it all behind
Don’t you remember those times?

We used to be giants
When did we stop?
Just say the word and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot
We were the song of the silence but time catches up
Just say the word and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot

2020 ISN'T CANCELLED, BUT RATHER THE MOST IMPORTANT YEAR OF THEM ALL

[browneyesangel]

THANK YOU DERMO! Now I also need:
- A live performance
- An acoustic version

Whenever you’re ready 😜

[ciarangartlan]

If you listen carefully you can hear an evening I will not forget"I still love you though" in the background

[melaniejaneb]

Dermot Kennedy you are a shining star and have been a light in this nearly 50 year old Womans life of late. Everyone of your songs have played out in total resonance to my heart and soul. 17 years and I’ve held onto the hurt and hope ( he was from Dublin too ) This song however has made me dance under the moonlight and stars smiling. There was definitely Gold in the Dirt, despite the tears and hurt, I’ve since took the time to see we both set each other free and will be connected through the divine infinitely. Thankyou Dermot for your beautiful music. Keep shining Ireland’s finest 💫☘️

[ciarangartlan]

He's a legend. Nothing more to say

[katelynofarrell]

[cheyannex]

[hayafahad]

Dermot has never failed to make me feel every word he's saying

[leah]

Ah yes needed this today.
When I'm in my 80's and someone asks what artist/music I couldn't live without it's going to always be Dermot. Music that's going to last lifetimes.

[sophieloughlin]

This year has been such a hard and important year in all our lives. And through every good and bad and scary moment you’re music has as it always had made me feel happy, safe and gave me something to look forward to. Thank you for giving us a bit of hope in darkness

[nacmunbur]

How is it my favorite song of all time and haven’t even finished it? Once more, hats off to you Dermot

[elisejanssen]

This song made me so happy the last week. 2020 isn't cancelled, but rather the most important year. I've graduated from high school, and I've found my passion in songwriting, even though I'm going to become a teacher. This song gives me the confidence I need, and I love it. You're amazing!

[lauraprice]

This song is EVERYTHING. Nostalgia for my youth, hope for the future. Dermot captures all of it.

[erikahaas]

What a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics. One of the many amazing things I love about Dermot is how unique he is— no 2 songs exactly alike, but his style/aesthetic is still very clear! I’ve been listening for years and I’m never ever disappointed.

[anactualswamp]

Whatever you do, whatever the tone, there is always honest and intricacy in there. I respect the hell out of you.

[selesovaa]

Dermot just always knows the time when I need his music the most. This is amazing❤️

[rockula]

I saw Dermot first time in the times like these video where he has one line. I knew i was onto sth great. Since then i cannot stop listening. Truly amazing. I play his songs for everyone now and when they say oh my god he is amazing, all i say is ''i know, i know''

[dutchie]

I am all in, I am a big fan since I heard the great song "Power over me"... Since then I became addicted to your music. A great Irish voice took the power over me. I hope you will visit us after the Corona period.. Ireland is not far away from Holland...
Hugs from the Netherlands.

[browneyesangel]

I love that it’s an upbeat track! So much variety in his discography
