My friend and I met him when he was busking on Grafton Street in Dublin 4 years ago. I was so amazed by his voice. He did an amazing version of Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey, and I was hooked. We bought his CD and chatted with him for a while. He was so friendly and genuine. We've followed his music ever since, and it's incredible to see how far he's come in such a short time. Congrats Dermot! You're a class act.
@Dermot Kennedy hey I’m sorry after hearing you back long ago I never thought you’re gonna impact my life so much I can definitely not understand what you’re lyrics have been to me after I lost my father and my relationship with my siblings altogether 🤲🏽
@@cindykenny3296 it's understandable he changes his speech patterns for interviews, I thought my Irish accent wasn't very strong until I went to new York and no one could understand a word I said :-)
mezalong yeah that’s what I miss a lot these days, especially with Irish singers. I mean the accent is beautiful. It adds that extra celtic sound to it.
@@cambo6911 to be honest the thought has crossed my mind, he makes reference to demons or the devil in lots of his songs. It's probably more likely that he had a religious upbringing though.
@@cheymcloughlin6366 Him growing up Irish I'm sure you're right about his upbringing. Some people veer, some people stay the course. Most people I know, have stayed the course or at least returned to it. Life and spirituality can be a slippery slope but I'd say he sold his soul. As did Ellen. Pretty much anybody on her show has. She's americas number one puppet for the gay movement. The devil is very tricky
so proud of how far hes come, cant wait to see him grow further and further and for the world to know what an incredible musician, song writer, singer and performer this guy is the way ive known for over a year.... i feel like a proud mother lol
Leandro Lopez he said on a podcast recently that he was to stick with the same song for marketing purposes, draw the public in with one song for these shows
Just seen him live tonight and I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY. I was covered in chills the entire time and he then played moments passed andI lost it, I broke into tears...there’s not much that’ll break me...but omg seeing him tonight in Edmonton was an absolute Bucketlist concert , I didn’t want his performance to end. Absolutely incredible.
I’m just so happy for him. He’s so incredibly talented and I believe he’s been working really hard to get to the point where he is now. Dermot, you rock! It’s time for the whole world to hear you. So exciting! You deserve it man! 🤩
Not sure how you feel about Rihanna but her live version of Stay on Saturday night live is unbelievable...the cello will send chills down your spine! Watch the video from a browser in desktop mode cause the mobile RUclips app kills the audio quality!

Ok, I'm hooked! What up with Irish musicians being SOOOOOOO BLESSED AWESOME!!!!!!???? Hozier, now him! Awww man! I hope he tours, cuz I'm going to seek and find him! Must see! Great live, and that band is on point! LOVE!!!! 😍😍😍
I agree, and I'm going to elaborate from a metaphysical perspective: These two artists in particular, along with Ben Howard (English) carry the Sacred Masculine flame. Their souls work as a team to purify the energies of sexuality in the collective consciousness. They are what is known as light workers, and deliver powerful energy and transmissions of Light, just in their singing voice.
@@RachelCaruso Hey sweetheart, I'm so sorry I'm just responding. I am very low tech, and new phone. I just saw I had a reply. I'm so interested in what you've said. I feel that energy you mentioned and somehow I'm moved to almost tears when I hear them, ( I have Hozier on almost all the time now, and still want to get all the songs from both guys.) and i will stop the song if someone interrupts it, and start it all over. I would love to learn more about your words and i want to thank you kindly. I'm so glad you said that all. I'm going to start seeking out what you've taught me. Bless you!
@@Shenanigan5 Really!!! That is too cool! I want the world to know them, but I never want them to be all Hollywood and plastic as so many warp into. I've watched so many pop stars go from girl next door to plastic. I am a nature lover and love the pure talent of both these Irish men and their awesome bands. By the way, born in America but I'm also Irish. ( Mcwhorter maiden name). That's just cool to me, ha! :) with DNA testing my daughter found out she is 100% European??? Mostly Irish! Pretty cool! ♡♡♡ My husbands family is also from there. Thank you for your response. Super awesome they know one another.
I can't think of an Irish artist who "Americanizes" his or her accent. Not Van, not Rice, Hansard, Hozier, Lynnott, Vance, O'Connor etc. Curious as to who you have in mind?
Actually most of the time when you sing you stretch out consonants and vowels which is why accents tend to get lost. It's not strictly because people are trying to sound "american" Matty from the 1975 though defies this often. :)
AMAZING performance. Dermot is about to get even more popular than he already is, and I'm so happy for him. Feeling so lucky that I scored tickets to an intimate venue before he starts playing sold out stadium shows. Seeing him live in just under 2 weeks 😊❤
It’s mad that I’ve only come across this artist from my home town today, at least a year after this performance on Ellen. And I’ve also just watched performances of his on Graham Norton (BBC) and the Late Late Show (RTÉ). I guess, Irish artists don’t get a lot of airplay on Mexican radio, where I now live. Maith an fear, Dermot. 👏🏼 🇮🇪
it feels like yesterday when i first heard his voice. i though to myself it's only gonna be a matter of time before he gets recognition and im both happy and sad that that's turning out to be true now
I'm jealous because I don't want to share him, but he needs the recognition. He is what will show people who true artists are.
Swear I just said the same to my partner 🙌👀😲..
Haha I know exactly what you mean
Lmao literally me
I feel the EXACT same way.
Cierra Engelhardt ahhhh omg girl same😭 like there goes his ticket prices 😭😂💓
Finally more people are recognizing this genius lyricist.
He's singing to the devil
His lyrics are so poetic :) rare these days
@@rosiemorey7756 i just cant stop listings to the Song with our Mayo boy on the Later Later show
I just love Giant with you and our Mayo boy on the Later Later show i play ir 4times a day

Do u still have that cd? You need to upload it somewhere, please!
Buskers always bring that extra OOMPH! to the concert stage - and I can appreciate that he's a fellow lefty player too.
That’s way cool.
Next one from Grafton street to make it is Allie Sherlock
Talent always rises to the top
His Irish accent comes through and makes this sound so beautiful.
I love that he doesn't completely loose his accent when he sings 💕
He only lives 10 mins from me but when he in interview he loses his accent and sounds very posh and a bit America wtf is that about
LOVE THIS MUSIC U GOT THAT POWER OVER ME
He’s nailing it!

Sounds hauntingly beautiful with the full band. The world's stage is his now!
King Kennedy doing Ireland proud 💚💚
Proud he is Irish 😍
The accent comes out when singing. A lot lose it. I think so anyway.
proud for another huge paddy name in the music industry, cheers from Serbia ;)
mezalong yeah that’s what I miss a lot these days, especially with Irish singers. I mean the accent is beautiful. It adds that extra celtic sound to it.
Seriously get rid of the racist picture disgusting using a beautiful Child to promote such vile ignorance
I--fucking--LOVE THIS MAN! He is so damn talented!! He picked the perfect song for this, too!!!
Great song but I don't think it showcases his vocal talents as much as some others do. Not to be negative cos he's my favourite singer on the planet
Can’t wait to see him again in San Diego next month !
He's a devil worshiper singing to Lucifer

Who here is irish and really proud lol
Ik i am 😂🇮🇪🤩
same hehe
He used to attend my secondary school, I'm honestly really proud!
Me am 🇨🇮🇨🇮
@@monokage8136 Wrong flag, it's this one 🇮🇪
Rosie Morey 👌
Lyrics perfect
Music perfect
Voice perfect
In total😍😍
Perfect song
the drummer is amazing
Real quality 💯
I mean I'm having a hard time watching Dermot to be honest the drummer is fierce!
He sounds exactly like the record!!! Rooting for you from Chile!!!
@Dermot Kennedy wow, really?
That bridge. He absolutely nailed it. Perfection.
so proud of how far hes come, cant wait to see him grow further and further and for the world to know what an incredible musician, song writer, singer and performer this guy is the way ive known for over a year.... i feel like a proud mother lol
He sounds even better than the recorded version 😍 literally how?
Wolfgirl98 is it the drummer? The beat sounds so good and really ups the energy
Patrick M Oh you’re totally right! 👌I also love how vocally he sounds just as amazing live
I know his amazing love isn’t he I like his Rome live version to
Hauntingly beautiful voice.
His voice is incredible I could never get tired of listening to him....it gets to your soul!! Amazing artist ❣
True artistry putting the Irish on the map once again ! I love it 🇮🇪🇮🇪
I wish he performed Lost just because he already has a live version of Power Over Me haha. Either way, I'm so happy he's getting the recognition now.
Check out the version he did of lost for the mahogany sessions on youtube
Leandro Lopez he said on a podcast recently that he was to stick with the same song for marketing purposes, draw the public in with one song for these shows
@@sophiewong9588 Thanks for the info I assumed as much
Oh my, yet another stunning performance by Dermot! He just keeps getting better and better. Michael Quinn ( the drummer) is amazing too!

Very emotional - RESPECT
He hasnt started singing yet and I already have chills.
as soon as the chorus drops my entire body gets goose bumps EVERY TIME
Great performance, most people lose their accent when they sing, nice to hear his Dublin accent to the fore!
Some serious talent comes out of that country. Just another reason to love Ireland
Doing Ireland proud,Great voice🇨🇮☘☘
Wrong flag bud,
Kudos to the lighting director on Ellen’s show, or Dermot’s group...whomever was responsible for this performance. 🙌🏻🎵🙌🏻
My introduction to Dermot. Thank you, Ellen, but also thank you Dermot for your beautiful music that has been the soundtrack to my last 2+ years.
I’m just so happy for him. He’s so incredibly talented and I believe he’s been working really hard to get to the point where he is now. Dermot, you rock! It’s time for the whole world to hear you. So exciting! You deserve it man! 🤩
by God with the voice that this man has is very underrated.
What a powerful but same time soulful voice
I’ve been listening to him for years and what a seriously underrated artist.
Fair play to Ellen she loves the Irish ☘️ 100 percent raw pure talent..❤️ can’t beat it..!!
This guys music has got me out of very bad mental state during lockdown. So thank you 🙏🏻
I've heard it on the radio and I was like: cool song, let's shazam. And now.. I have it on repeat! Again and again
Had a weird dream that I met him in an Irish pub where he had been singing! He is amazing 👏
I don’t think there’s any of your songs that I’ve not listened to before I love your voice, your performance and the music ❤😊
Congrats Dermot, powerful raw performance, best live sounding performance on a show i've seen in a long time..
Boooom couldn't agree more. Should look up Disturbed - Sound of silence. Conan o brien show. Unreal
Not sure how you feel about Rihanna but her live version of Stay on Saturday night live is unbelievable...the cello will send chills down your spine! Watch the video from a browser in desktop mode cause the mobile RUclips app kills the audio quality!
Such an iconic voice
You make me proud of my Irish heritage
So proud of you! I wish more people from South Africa listen to your music too. 😭😭😭
I have never heard such a beautiful man voice like this guy
I wanna be king in your story
I wanna know who you are
I want your heart to beat for me
Oh I-
Want you to sing to me softly
'Cause then I'm outrunning the dark
That's all that love ever taught me
Oh I-
Call and I'll rush out
All out of breath now
You've got that power over me, my my
Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
You've got that power over me, my my
The only one I know, the only one on my mind
You've got that power over me (my my)
Got that power over me (my my)
You've got that power over me
Remember the lake in the moonlight?
Remember you shivered and shone?
I'll never forget what you looked like
On that night
But I know that time's gonna take me
I know that day's gonna come
I just want the devil to hate me
Oh I-
Call and I'll rush out
All out of breath now
You've got that power over me, my my
Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
You've got that power over me, my my
The only one I know, the only one on my mind
You've got that power over me (my my)
Got that power over me (my my)
You've got that power over me
It was all in doubt
They were all around
So we'll hide away and never tell
You decide if darkness knows you well
That lesson of love, all that it was
I need you to see
You've got that power over me, my my
Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
You've got that power over me, my my
The only one I know, the only one on my mind
You've got that power over me
(Woo)
I know that I let her down, no
Let her down, no
You've got that power over me, my my
Everything I hold dear resides in those eyes
Got that power over me, my my
The only one I know, the only one on my mind
You've got that power over me
so so so proud of this man, never before have i felt so connected to an artist and his words. thank you dermot
Yesssss. Absolutely in love with your voice. and finally getting the recognition you deserve.
Yes my boy is making it big!
This blows you away

YES ➖also a song of DERMOT KENNEDY that I want to hear before breakfast ➖➖
Ahhhh his live performances are just beautiful! So happy for him :)
Everytime I hear his voice I get goosebumps... ❤
I only started to listen to his music a few weeks ago and I haven’t stopped since - just incredible.
So happy to see that you're finally getting the recognition you deserve! The world needs to hear what real music, class and HEART sound like!
she has the power over him and this song has the power over me. i listen to it everday
Brilliant. The band sounded so good together!!!!!
He's an amazing musician..this song is so strong and powerful!
I come i only heard this today? This song is amazing and he seems to be very talented. Should be a thousand times more popular!
Dermot has a power over me!! 8-). Love this guys vocals forever!
Ellen was not the only one blown away by this voice 😍
This is amazing.
Dermot, i hope you know you are an ARTIST. Not a singer, not a star.. an artist. You draw colors and feelings with music.
I saw him live and it was magic. I will never forget the feeling 💙
im so glad he’s finally getting some of the recognition he deserves 💕
Love how he stays true to his irish accent and doesn't try to americanise it (Is that a word🤔)
Yes its a word lol and i love him sticking with his accent, as an American, its wild and it makes his voice stand out even more!!
I can't think of an Irish artist who "Americanizes" his or her accent. Not Van, not Rice, Hansard, Hozier, Lynnott, Vance, O'Connor etc. Curious as to who you have in mind?
@@Anhorish Literally everyone you mentioned. Dermot does it too but not so much on this song.
That's what got me hooked..being true to who you are and what kind of music one makes..I sensed a tinge of folklore in his song!!!
Actually most of the time when you sing you stretch out consonants and vowels which is why accents tend to get lost. It's not strictly because people are trying to sound "american"
Matty from the 1975 though defies this often. :)
So proud to be Irish we got best artists ☘️💕
Its a privilege to know dermo, good things happen to good people. He was destined for bigger things his busker days paid off well ,fair play
I'm so happy he is getting some recognition abroad! He so deserves it
look at him go 🙌🙌 killing it dermot!!
Such talent
Your can hear his Irish ☘️ accent what a song
I love the fact that he is one of very few Irish singers that keeps his Irish accent when he sings
Slayed it just made a couple million more fans easy
Sweet, bless his heart and soul ❤
Pure class!
This song makes me shiver .... very primal .... LOVE it!
The Power of 🇮🇪 Irish Voice is unforgettable.
He deserves EVERYTHING and yet I selfishly want him to myself. So beautifully bittersweet ❤
He’s got that power over me!!! 💕💕💕
AMAZING performance. Dermot is about to get even more popular than he already is, and I'm so happy for him. Feeling so lucky that I scored tickets to an intimate venue before he starts playing sold out stadium shows. Seeing him live in just under 2 weeks 😊❤

My absolute favourite song!!!!!
Most underrated singer rn he needs recognition
Ooo his voice gives me chills! So glad he is getting recognized, can't wait for more!! ❤❤❤

Love hearing his Irish accent through the song 😍🥰
Dublin is magical

I LOVE THIS MAN!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Guy created one of the best chorus ever ! Holy what an good music !!!
What a guy.
Up the Irish 🍀
Second that ☘️
Love this song 🎵 ❤️ 💕 ♥️ 💗
It’s mad that I’ve only come across this artist from my home town today, at least a year after this performance on Ellen.
And I’ve also just watched performances of his on Graham Norton (BBC) and the Late Late Show (RTÉ). I guess, Irish artists don’t get a lot of airplay on Mexican radio, where I now live.
Maith an fear, Dermot. 👏🏼 🇮🇪
good info for those distracted by idles for 9 months ... love you Gavin xxx
Some serious talent coming outta Dublin over the last few years. Himself, Hozier and Gavin James to name just a few.
The 'Power," of the Irish oral tradition. Go Dermot!
it feels like yesterday when i first heard his voice. i though to myself it's only gonna be a matter of time before he gets recognition and im both happy and sad that that's turning out to be true now
You killed it Dermot... per usual! Keep working hard man and you will get the notoriety you deserve!
Greetings from Greece!!!! I love this song so much!!!! Such a powerful performance on Ellen!!!
ahhhhhh i have been obsessing over him for probably 6 months i need to see him get big so i can see him live!!!!
please tour Canada PLEASEEEE
Awesome! A fabulous singer and songwriter!!
