This gave me goosebumps. The emotion in his voice is powerful. As a Taylor fan I think this stripped back version shows off her song writing and Music really well. Amazing cover Dermot!
I’m not a Taylor swift fan. However sometimes when I listen to covers I agree, her songwriting can be very impressive and seems to show better on other artists just as someone who doesn’t particularly like her voice or sound. Would be interesting to hear her intentionally write for other artists when/if she decides to stop doing her own music
Taylor's really good at taking sad songs and making them upbeat to give the lyrics a lighter feeling, but this, yeah....This rendition is soul crushingly beautiful.
@@EmilieSagae co-writer in Taylor song is not the same as it is on other artists’ as Taylor writes her own lyrics and most of the melody. She needs help imostly in producing (confirmed by her collaborators e.g. Jack Antonoff, Ryan Tedder, Imogen Heap)
amazing!!!! i can't help but feel if most of Taylor's music wasn't released by HER, people would call her songs genius. Unfortunately some are so dead set on hating her or calling her untalented despite her remarkable ability to song write. loved this rendition.
It’s also because the pop vibe can make it easy for some people to miss the beauty in the lyrics. Stripping it back like this you can see the genius of the lyrics clearly
i didn’t relate to the lyrics so much listening to Taylor’s version, but now.. i’ve discovered how deep and dark they are. Taylor and Dermote are truly talented 🥲💔 (btw i didn’t know this singer before so i guess i’ll go and search for him)
First time I heard Dermot was when he sang another Taylor Swift song on this same channel. His voice and artistry elevate the songs he covers to new heights.
This still shocks me so much!! I recommend his music to everyone and a lot of people say who?! Then they hear him and they end up at his concerts with me!! 💃🏼 Most people hear him once & LOVE his stuff! He’s got a raw genuine talent! His music, lyrics, voice are just 🤯🔥🔥 ✌🏼♥️🎶
@@jonacars26I heard a clip of Outnumbered on a tv show, they didn’t play much of the song at all really… but it’s one of the songs that sings to ye, I was hooooooked!! The guys lyrics are something else 🙏🏻✌🏼🎶
I seen him live in Belfast a couple years back. Pretty sure it was his first performance outside of the Republic or EU. He puts his heart and soul into the performance, and is one of those artists that hold a special place in my heart ❤️
Dermot Kennedy is one of those wonderful artists who sound as beautiful live as they do on recorded music. I love everything of his that I have ever heard.
You won't regret it, I'm sure of that. He has such a wonderful catalogue of music. He's literally a poet & so emotionally intelligent. I'll shut up now & stop fangirling over someone almost young enough to be my son, lol. Enjoy!
Honestly he has incredible songs. "Outnumbered" is his top hit that you probably heard on the radio, but he has other amazing songs too. "Better days" is personally my favorite by him. 😊
I play this almost every day, I am addicted to it. I Love his voice. It feels like an old friend and comforts me when I am lonely. I appreciate his music with every fiber of my being.
Verse 1] I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser Midnights become my afternoons When my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people I've ghosted stand there in the room [Pre-Chorus] I should not be left to my own devices They come with prices and vices I end up in crisis (Tale as old as time) I wake up screaming from dreaming One day, I'll watch as you're leaving 'Cause you got tired of my scheming (For the last time) Chorus] It's me, hi I'm the problem, it's me At teatime, everybody agrees I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero [Verse 2] Sometimes, I feel like everybody is a sexy baby And I'm a monster on the hill Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city Pierced through the heart, but never killed [Pre-Chorus] Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism Like some kind of congressman? A tail as old as time) I wake up screaming from dreaming One day, I'll watch as you're leaving And life will lose all its meaning (For the last time) [Chorus] It's me, hi I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me) At teatime, everybody agrees I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero Bridge] I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money She thinks I left them in the will The family gathers 'round and reads it and then someone screams out "She's laughing up at us from Hell" [Breakdown] It's me, hi I'm the problem, it's me It's me, hi I'm the problem, it's me It's me, hi Everybody agrees, everybody agrees Chorus] It's me, hi (Hi) I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me) At teatime (Teatime), everybody agrees (Everybody agrees) I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
Never appreciated and enjoyed an artist's art as much as i love and appreciate what dermot does, since i discovered dermot 3 years ago I've been listening to his music everyday morning and night, i ease my panic attacks and anxiety with his songs, most remomable one when i had an accident in the highway and still had to drive back to my hometown and had a bad panic attack and played without fear album all the way back and find ease and peace through it, I can't wait to listen to sonder over and over again and not get sick of it just like his old songs and album,never got sick of them! He is so precious and what makes him even more special, how genuiely humble he is about how unique he is 🥰 much love from marrakech!
Just beautiful! Real artists like him always know that Taylor’s one of the best artists and such a real talent, that real talents gravitate towards each other!
Is it only me who thinks the backing vocals are really good? They sound beautiful. Why nobody talks bout them? 🌹🌹🌹 and Demot, you never fail to amaze me!!
A beautiful cover! He's an artist who puts his emotions into every song. His songs always touch me. Thank you for sharing your feelings and personality with your fans 🙏🙏🙏
I think she intentionally chooses beats that distract from how deep her lyrics are... so when others sing it you feel more, the feelings she's trying to downplay... I may be overthinking it, but truly hope she is okay
@@moniquekwachou342 Good point. My guess would be that is because although she wants to be taken seriously as a singer/songwriter, she does also want to make money (and that is fair) so she tries to also make them as catchy as possible and does commercialized them. However, I think finally took a gamble with Folklore and Evermore and got away from that to a large degree. At least temporarily, because Midnights seems to have gone back to her old "ways". though I love some of her lyrics on Midnights too!
I’m such a big fan he helped me through so many tough days. I went threw depression when I missed him In australia I pray he comes back he and his voice are beautiful god bless ❤❤

I love his voice and his songs make me cry😢😂
Dermot's voice will always give me chills. It's perfect.
His voice is infuckingsane. Wow. 💕
I get them immediately, it’s ridiculous
I like his voice too. I just wish he wouldn’t keep damaging his voice by doing his yells/screams for the added “feeling”
No it's amazing❤❤❤❤❤
Its better live ❤
Written by one of the best writers in history, covered by one of the rarest voice in history the emotion he puts into the song. 👌🏿✔️❤️
You mean Jack Antonoff? Sounds a lot like his work with Lorde
@@EmilieSagae yes his a good writer
@@EmilieSagae writer not producer

When people cover her songs it reminds what a great lyricist she truly is.
No it doesn't
lol what the hell is that?
his low notes are so incredible! there's no strain on his voice when he does it and its just perfect!
amazing!!!! i can't help but feel if most of Taylor's music wasn't released by HER, people would call her songs genius. Unfortunately some are so dead set on hating her or calling her untalented despite her remarkable ability to song write. loved this rendition.
yeah if she was a man, she'd be The man
Her acoustic version of this is great

totally agree ! x@@mariahkelley2037
Everytime he sings the chorus, it makes me cry for some reason. God, his voice!!! 😭
The way he screams at the chorus its really him. Very distinctive Only HIM can do that! 💜
Taylor's version make the lyrics sound almost sweet, this cover reminded me how deep and have the massage is.
i didn’t relate to the lyrics so much listening to Taylor’s version, but now.. i’ve discovered how deep and dark they are. Taylor and Dermote are truly talented 🥲💔
(btw i didn’t know this singer before so i guess i’ll go and search for him)
First time I heard Dermot was when he sang another Taylor Swift song on this same channel. His voice and artistry elevate the songs he covers to new heights.
What song he sang before?
@@rahmadaniefendi Lover (by Taylor Swift) but mashed up with a Kanye song called Flashing Lights
Recommend the Tiny Desk Concert with Dermot on there. Very good indeed
This is an an amazing cover. You can feel the emotions.
This voice. The choir supporting this incredibly wonderful voice. Everything is just perfect in this cover.
Nailed it! What a talent. What a voice. Perfection. Never ceases to amaze with his talent and range. We all can relate to Dermot.
What I love about Dermots Voice apart from being so good is that you can hear his Irish accent ever so slightly which makes him so authentic ❤
Effortless,ridiculous,magnificent!!! How does he keep doing it!! One of our own 🇮🇪🇮🇪
I got drunk two nights ago and sang along to this song all night. My voice is torn to shit today. Very unique style. Love it
I feel like I just found my twin
The way he puts his hand on his chest while singing, as if to ease and slowly release the pain.
A poetic confession of trying and failing to cast aside the anxiety of rejection and the wrath of exterior and interior judgments.
Sorry we have to endure this difficulty, Friends. If we are good to each other, more of us will get through this healed and not wounded or not at all.
wow the emotions here are displayed through his voice clearly, beautiful cover
He brings such emotion to every single song, could never get tired....
He’s a great writer and artist but that forced vocal styling is going to destroy his vocal chords eventually.
I never heard of him but jesus what a voice! And such a perfonal cover... honestly just flawless. Amazing talent 🖤
Check out song “outnumbered” pure talent
This still shocks me so much!! I recommend his music to everyone and a lot of people say who?! Then they hear him and they end up at his concerts with me!! 💃🏼 Most people hear him once & LOVE his stuff! He’s got a raw genuine talent! His music, lyrics, voice are just 🤯🔥🔥

Apart from his amazing voice, props to the backup singers, they are also fantastic!
Wow, ive actually never heard of this singer but his voice, emotion and technique really impressed me. I’ll definitely need to check out his music now
You won't regret it, I'm sure of that. He has such a wonderful catalogue of music. He's literally a poet & so emotionally intelligent.
I'll shut up now & stop fangirling over someone almost young enough to be my son, lol.

He is amazing, I’ve followed him since the beginning, it’s like I want him to get big but at the same time I want to keep him to myself!
I am obsessed with this rendition. I cannot get over it.❤️🥺😭👏🏽
Same
The first time I understood this song emotionally. That totally picked me up.....
I play this almost every day, I am addicted to it. I Love his voice. It feels like an old friend and comforts me when I am lonely. I appreciate his music with every fiber of my being.
Verse 1]
I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people
I've ghosted stand there in the room
[Pre-Chorus]
I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis
(Tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
(For the last time) Chorus]
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me
At teatime, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
[Verse 2]
Sometimes, I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
And I'm a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
Like some kind of congressman?
A tail as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
And life will lose all its meaning
(For the last time)
[Chorus]
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me)
At teatime, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror

Bridge]
I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
She thinks I left them in the will
The family gathers 'round and reads it and then someone screams out
"She's laughing up at us from Hell"
[Breakdown]
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me
It's me, hi
Everybody agrees, everybody agrees

At teatime (Teatime), everybody agrees (Everybody agrees)
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror

He could sing the yellow pages and I'd keep that ish on replay!!! Idk why I love everything he covers so much more than the original.

Absolutely brilliant! Taylor provides the amazing lyrics and he brings new life to them. X
sexy baby? amazing lyrics , what a load a shite
Always a testament to a well written song when someone else can make it into their own
i LOVE dermont his voice his style just pure perfection hes up there with ELTON, Billy joel, Calum Scott , Dave Gahan.. PURE PERFECT singer!!!!!!!!!!
His voice. So heartfelt and pure raw vocals. Love ya

Okay but this is one of the best covers of any song I’ve seen ever! His voice is incredible I’M OBSESSED!!!!
I’ve watched this 10 times and it brings a tear to my eye every time. So beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ Well done Dermot Kennedy 👏🏼 👏🏼
Dermot Kennedy you are incredibly amazing. A one of a kind voice, thank you for sharing!!!
The tone of ur voice 😍
Dermot really did such a fantastic job with this version of Taylor Swift. His voice is amazing and really makes those perfect lyrics stand out!
Chills! He is etheral, unreal just incredible
This is absolutely beautiful 😭
Sounds like it could have been one of his own songs! Really made it his own. Wow
This just knocks ya completely off your feet 👏👏👏👏👏
Never stops blowing me away ❤
Taylor's Swifts song writing shines even more so when people cover her songs.
I love Ryan Adam s work and did not realise he did an album covering her songs 1989 👌👌

From Taylor's Lover and now Anti-Hero Dermot. This is craaaazy !!!!! 🔥🥺
Yesss. When I listened to this song the lyrics hit me but him sing has hit me out of the ball park.
Dermot has a beautiful voice and seems very humble...and these powerful words make me very emotional.... amazing....
My two favourite things - Dermot & Taylor. He's the only person I'm happy to see a Taylor Swift cover from - such a beautiful rendition!
Heard a mash up of this with the original on the radio. Mnm in Belgium. Can't find it anywhere it was glorious.
😍 When he sings ‘✨ it must be exhausting always rooting for the anti hero’ ✨
Great voice just wow emotions
The whole crew is absolutely amazing! You all rock!! Thank You for all your beautiful work. Not a Swifie fan but this is amazing. I'm guessing it's a Swiftie song!!
Such a beautiful and gritty voice. True magic.
Can't wait to see this man again next year
We NEED a feat of these two 🙏🏻
I've never heard any song from Dermot.. but i really love his vocal..

The vocal phrasing is flawless. This song has some words that don't sing well but Dermot makes it like satin. Very nice cover.
I absolutely love this guy. The emotion in his voice is so touching 💜 I could listen to him alday.
First discovered him when he sang Lover on BBC In ‘18 or ‘19, crazy how far he’s come
i really like this version. keep on repeating it. this version needs more exposure. so perfect.
WHAT on earth how turns everything he touches into gold?!?!
The talent coming out of Ireland at the moment is incredible
So ein toller Performer, und, ich kenne Ihn nicht,aber wohl ein toller Mensch, vermutlich. Seine Musik spricht für Ihn!
I think I just fell in love with his voice 😍
Still leaving Spotify to come over and hear this gold!! DK Delivers, always!
