    LYRICS:
    How it must feel to be a bird
    Roaming lonely over sea air
    How it must feel to be a bird
    London, Paris underneath
    I'll wait on my own here
    And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry
    And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you loved me
    She's bringing the moon and stars to me
    Damn permanent reverie
    And even though this life, this love is brief
    I've got some people who carry me
    Wasn't it love as soon as we knew each other properly?
    Living 'bout half right, until a certain person got to me
    Nothing is secret, everything's sacred, How it ought to be
    Under the moonlight on a clear night, on rooftops is where I want to be
    Sometimes I'm like a child, It's something I can't release
    Dreams of her coming home, sweet home
    I'm telling you home's so sweet
    Said you reminded me of the summer times, and I still mean that
    In a full room I'm the only one she's smiling at
    So wouldn't you let me know if you were thinking less of me?
    That's what she asked me what was promised what we both agreed
    But truthfully if you ever go, you'll drop me straight to Hell's 7th circle
    And I was talking with you earlier
    We were open and vulnerable, it was wonderful
    I, I used to dream that you would talk to me
    I used to dream that you would talk to me
    And I couldn't tell you enough that I'm sorry
    And no, you couldn't tell me enough that you loved me
    She's bringing the moon and stars to me
    Damn permanent reverie
    And even though this life, this love is brief
    I've got some people who carry me
    You know that feeling when you think your heart is gonna come right out through your shirt?
    I get it a couple times a year but I've been getting it more often with her
    Now when I'm face to face with death I'll grab his throat
    And ask him, "how does it hurt?"
    Up in those golden moments growing old too quickly
    Was he thinking of her?
    But she's bringing the moon and the stars to me
    Damn permanent reverie
    And even though this life, this love is brief
    I've got some people who carry me

    I have a very sheltered, old school, hip hop influenced musical taste. Newer stuff is usually found by recommendations or happy accidents. I'm happy I accidentally clicked on Dermot's Better Days when looking for a different one. This is the fifth song of his I've listened to tonight and I'm fighting back tears. Fxcking amazing Dermot. Keep doing your thing, it's beautiful brother.

    from an instagram live: "this is a song i wrote a long time ago and it's kind of about if there's a place or even somebody or somewhere you'd wanna be if you were having a really bad day or if you just weren't feeling so good. i know for me it's a place off the west of Ireland that i actually haven't been to in too long but yeah, i feel like everybody's got one. so this song is called For Island Fires and Family."

    Definitely my favorite song, it's impressive the way you transfer your feelings through the song, the way you sing, full of emotions, makes me feel so nostalgic and I think that your style makes us feel that what you sing is a story of life for which we have all passed through. I hope not to die without first having the pleasure of hearing you sing live!.

If you check his post on Instagram or his Facebook he was busking a few years ago in Ireland and then a picture against that to a full sold out theatre. We are experiencing his journey and seeing him grow into an artist that will be known worldwide soon enough 😁 sorry for the long message
