I’m American. I’ve loved him for the last couple of years. His music has gotten me though some hard shit. The U.S frankly don’t deserve him. But he deserves everything!!
Seen this guy 3 times in the US already. He's the best. He's unstoppable and going to blow up for sure. He deserves it, but I'm going to miss seeing him at those tiny venues!
I've been following this man's music career religiously way back when an evening I will not forget first came out, so happy to see he is finally making a name in the US, saw him twice live and can't wait for another show!
The US have no idea what they're in for. Seen him twice last year at home here in dublin and still haven't come across a better live act. Unbelievable Jeff. Yup Éire 🇮🇪 #ridemedermo
Dermot, unbelievable passionate singing.... shivers every time I hear that voice, a few tears too ;). Love that the Irish accent is heard. You're doing us proud Dermot. Keep going. :)
Finally Dermott! So proud I literally cried at 2:22 when the rest of the world got to hear that magical voice we all have loved from the first time we heard it. Congrats Dermott!
Yeah the production was a bit much 2 me. But that part was a showstopper for sure. Dermot is such a beast. I rather see him without drums his entire career haha
First time hearing him was "an evening i won't forget" while I was going through a rough breakup. Been listening to him ever since. Seen him recently in Glasgow and seeing him again in May. Can't wait!
Agree, his pre-recorded backing vocals of his own voice actually make the song. I love the deep and grittiness of them. Hopefully he will stick to his own.
You know an artist has true talent when the live version sounds as good or better then the studio version. Its too bad that there is so many underrated artists like Dermot Kennedy and so many other great artists that are drowned out by talentless mumble rappers.
Huey Freeman I’m not saying rap is bad. Some of it really is good. But what i am saying is that the music industry seems to be dominated by people like Travis Scott, Kanye West and other rappers that flood the music market with songs that are auto tuned to hell and are usually about drugs, girls, and f*cking not necessarily in that order. It’s really annoying and they drown out artists with loads more talent like Dermot.
Ranger Trails I agree with Huey. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t make it objectively bad. I personally don’t enjoy listening to mumble rap either, but I don’t understand why we can’t just listen to what we enjoy listening to and not listen to things we don’t like. Clearly there is a big market for mumble rap. Why not let everyone listen to what they enjoy?
Finally. Dermot is great, the small part was clearly the most powerful 2 me. Dude deserves his chances, this song definitely not even close to my favorite. But nearly all his songs are memorable.
Forget the typical nightly politics. Watching this performance on the show was amazing. We need more beautiful moments to share like that instead of the constant bombardment of politics and opinions. I just wish he got to be interviewed my Stephen. Next time 🤞🏼
Peaceful Peaceful Yes. Because that is entertaining. Because that is productive in the awful way Colbert does it. Because being beaten in the head with the same rhetoric constantly is incredibly enjoyable.
This man’s voice might be my favorite I’ve ever heard. Love everything he does. Good on him.
Love seeing Dermot getting the attention he deserves!
Agreed
The proof is in the pudding!!! 💚
He deserves more. ❤️
I’m American. I’ve loved him for the last couple of years. His music has gotten me though some hard shit. The U.S frankly don’t deserve him. But he deserves everything!!
Agreed! All of his songs are amazing. He is an incredible talent. I'm so happy for him!
Aww. sure we do!
Seen this guy 3 times in the US already. He's the best. He's unstoppable and going to blow up for sure. He deserves it, but I'm going to miss seeing him at those tiny venues!
Those small Venues are the best , much better than large Productions , I love them
I've been following this man's music career religiously way back when an evening I will not forget first came out, so happy to see he is finally making a name in the US, saw him twice live and can't wait for another show!
Oh my god. I’ve been obsessed with this song for a while now. I’m so happy he preformed on LSSC!
I just love when i hear a song in the radio and instantly love it and when i find that the live performence is simply better. Love this song.
Yes Irish musicians are killing this year, keep going dermo
This small little Island of Ireland gifts so much to the world. Enjoy him.
What a legend! He's so good!! 😍
He deserves so much more recognition 🙌🏻
The US have no idea what they're in for. Seen him twice last year at home here in dublin and still haven't come across a better live act. Unbelievable Jeff. Yup Éire 🇮🇪 #ridemedermo
He is live so amazing, like his voice is so powerful i was shocked
We’re all really proud of him 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Nah, I do! Saw him last November. Crowd was obnoxious but he was great.
He is amazing I discovered him a while back glad he is now performing in the US
Wish he'd come to Wash. DC. America needs Dermot. : )
Props to you Steven Colbert for having Dermot Kennedy on your show! He’s amazing!
Dermot, unbelievable passionate singing.... shivers every time I hear that voice, a few tears too ;). Love that the Irish accent is heard. You're doing us proud Dermot. Keep going. :)
I went to his concert in Houston, Tx in November and it was UNREAL! I’m so happy that his talent is finally being recognized!
Thank you for having Dermot on your show!! He's been a favorite of mine for a few years now. So glad he's getting some recognition!
right! :D he's amazing
Fawking Amazing!!! ♥️ He killed it!!!
Finally Dermott! So proud I literally cried at 2:22 when the rest of the world got to hear that magical voice we all have loved from the first time we heard it. Congrats Dermott!
2:37 whaaaaaaat the whole room I'm sitting in stopped for those 15 seconds
Yeah the production was a bit much 2 me. But that part was a showstopper for sure. Dermot is such a beast. I rather see him without drums his entire career haha
Never seem someone sing with such passion, amazing ! Finally his getting recognise for this beauty and unique work
This man and his bandddddd!!! PURE MAGIC
First time hearing him was "an evening i won't forget" while I was going through a rough breakup. Been listening to him ever since. Seen him recently in Glasgow and seeing him again in May. Can't wait!
Fuck me when that slows down at 2.20 and he still sings With that raspy powerful voice of his. My God what a fucking legend!!!
I am blown away! Gives me chill bumps! Only 24 years old what talent!
26
I love this guy, his song Young And Free makes my soul stir.
So so excited for him❤️❤️ finally the recognition he DESERVES
he deserves the world! ❣️
Saw him in Portland and it was amazing!! He is a blessing I'm not sure this world deserves! Glad to see his fanbase growing.
He should have done “For Island Fires and Family” that song is as special as they come. Easily his best in my opinion.
Brokensilence47954 my favourite too!!!
That songs intro makes me wanna cry well actually all of it does
I'm still going with An Evening I Will Not Forget....
@@firebrand1978 Thats a close second for me.
Not easily. But it is my favorite
great young fella with an INSANE voal range ! #ireland #proud #irish
Seen him perform at both recent shows in Aus and he's incredible! He's more than ready to zoom the charts!
I’ve been listening to Dermot for a couple years now and he is amazing! I’ve seen him in Denver. So glad he is about to blow up!
Someone at The Colbert Show has great taste in music... Colbert has introduced me to many fine talents
Credit to Colbert for giving Dermo the chance to sing, so glad he's finally getting the recognition and come-up that he deserves
This is insane!! Congratulations Dermot!
I’ve been waiting for the rest of the US to find him and get obsessed I’ve loved him for so long now and I can’t fly to Europe for a concert 😭😭
I've heard this on the radio enough to be nearly tired of it, but this... this is one of a few songs I've enjoyed more here than on the album.
Dermot is an amazing live performer! Would've preferred it without the backup singers, felt they pulled away from his raw, gritty voice
Agreed. Great performance nonetheless
Agree 100%
LOVE LOVE LOVE the backup singers! YES!
Couldn't agree more, he doesn't need them. Such a unique voice I don't wanna hear anyone else
Agree, his pre-recorded backing vocals of his own voice actually make the song. I love the deep and grittiness of them. Hopefully he will stick to his own.
Doing the Irish and yourself proud Keep it going Dermot 🇮🇪☘️
Amazing! I hope he gets the notice he deserves. I love him ❤️
I love u dermot

Tisha Turner No matter which one he decided to perform, Dermot's voice is amazing and so powerful.
And it's a pleasure to hear him.

Glory is my favorite

Very powerful voice!! Amazing!!!
OUCHIE!!!!!!! This is a straight up soul punch!!! KO!🖤💔😭
My God.. the 3:03 part makes me wanna HUG his voice 😁😁 So good!
Love Dermot, but these backup singers are not complimenting this song with those sharp notes.
Thats what i just thought.
His voice is outstanding and i came for it not for other singers to ruin it somehow.
They're ruining it a bit for me
Love the backing singers,.
Stephen always gets the best musical artists on. 👏👏👏
Brilliant Dermot lad. Good to see you making waves here in the UK too. We'll be travelling from Carlisle up to Glasgow to see you in May, can't wait!
Whooooo omg he’s amazing.
Yeeees my boy. So proud. 😭 The US should welcome and take you. #idrovetocanadatoseehim
