Dermot Kennedy - Lost | Mahogany Session 

Lyrics When everything was broken The devil hit his second stride But you remember what I told you Someday, I'll need your spine to hide behind For fear of moments stolen I don't wanna say goodnight But I'll still see you in the morning Still know your heart and still know both your eyes I could have told you ‘bout the long nights How no one loves the birds that don't rise So you can tell the heroes go hide My sense of wonder's just a little tired But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine I know you'd never leave me behind But I am lost this time Are we destined to burn or will we last the night? I will hold you 'til I hold you right But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine So we'll run into the open Keep your hand inside of mine And then when everything is over I hope to think of this as better times The sky got red and swollen I guess I never see the signs There can't be songs for every soldier It can't be solace every time you cry I could have told you ‘bout the long nights How no one loves the birds that don't rise So you can tell the heroes go hide My sense of wonder's just a little tired But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine I know you'd never leave me behind But I am lost this time Are we destined to burn or will we last the night? I will hold you 'til I hold you right But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine I was lost 'til I found you Now these songs will hold and hide your name All it was was all about you Since that night, the moon has never seemed the same And if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine I know you'd never leave me behind But I am lost this time What if the love you deserve is love you never find? I've learned in love and death, we don't decide And if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine

"I've learned in love and death we don't decide.." Dermot is such a treasure

I can't wait till Dermont gets his first Grammy!!! Who's with me on this???

The violinists really provide a new and wonderful perspective on this song, stunning

Who gave dermot permission to be a walking angel

I simultaneously want everyone to hear his music and see how magical and amazing he is ... and want to keep him this little fan base we have secret bc it’s so special and the shows are so intimate. The struggle is real. He is on a whole other level than anyone else making music right now.

"No one loves the birds that dont rise" #chills

Holy shit. How dare you make something this perfect. Who do you think you guys are.

“There can’t be a song for every soldier; It can’t be solace every time you cry”...”What if the love you deserve is love you never find ?” JAYSUS this song is so damn lyrically beautiful. So many verses and beats just hit bone deep.

The violins in the background add a whole new dimension to this song

Dermot’s Irish accent in this song (all his songs actually) hits my soul! It’s so beautiful ❤️

It's a double edged sword when a recording of a song is so damn good you can't bear to listen to the album version anymore...

Me: Music doesn't make me emotional anymore.." Dermot Kennedy:"Hold my pint.."

"There can't be songs for every soldier, there cant be solice every time you cry".. who thinks of this kind of stuff?

This man. His voice. These words. The musicians. It's all a massive tidal wave of blue and crimson and turbulence and peace.

"What if the love u deserve is love u never find? .. I've learned in love and death we don't decide" he is soo special🥰❤❤❤

‘In love and death we don’t decide’ - then why does listening to his music feel like dying and going straight to heaven? ♥️

Just found this gem. I much prefer this version over the original as I’m not a fan of all the electronic music. The strings and piano bring an entirely different emotion to this, and I feel a deeper connection to it.

Ireland is just killing it at the moment musically ...Dermot K ,picture this ,Hozier etc.

This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Lyrically it's otherworldly.

"I will hold you til I hold you right." I feel that as a lover and a mother. He's incredible and his poetry has so many levels!

Dermot is a gem 🙏

What a time to be alive with this angel here on earth! How did we ever get this lucky?!

Dermot brings thoughts and feelings we've all had into meaningful lyrics with a firey passion to really hit them home to us. What an amazing artist

I'm addicted to this performance. The lyrics, the emotion in his raspy voice, the violins in the back, the setting ♡

"I've learned in love and death we don't decide" what a lyric ❤

If anyone has the chance I strongly suggest hearing this live!!!!! Honestly all of his songs but it was so beautiful there was dead silence in the crowd and tears everywhere!!

Is this not just the most perfectly shot/recorded/performed mahogany session that exists? Forever revisiting this. Thankyou Mahogany, and Dermot.

My dog is snoozing next to me, she literally looked up into my eyes filled with love?? Then at the screen, huffed, then turned back to sleep. You’ve got a doggy fan

Dermot + Mahogany is ALWAYS a win/win Dang.

I absolutely love every single song Dermot has made. I swear his live performances sound just like the studio version but with like 5x more emotion.

Are we destined to burn or will we last the night?... hits me everytime

Brother!!.... I would buy this version over and over again! Wonderful work 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I discovered Dermot 2 days ago, every song and lyric has been on repeat and analysed! WOW! A ticket for a Live show has been purchased I can't get enough

I just discovered Dermot Kennedy recently and ever since my days have been enriched and blessed with his heart and soul. Every song is a treasure and I want every moment to last forever. Thank you Mahogany Sessions for bringing Dermot Kennedy to our hearts. I can't wait to see him in concert.

When you love a song enough to get the lyrics tattooed on your forearm where everyone can see them..... "Someday, i'll need your spine to hide behind"

An old woman has just found a young man - wonderful, tender and I just love it!

i have just been so into dermot this past year, so this is such a real treat. love his music and his lyrics, a bit of ben howard and thats absolutely brilliant.

Something about his music in buildings like this, Idk what it is but the audio is absolutely amazing EVERYTIME! That's softness and sincerity in his voice is absolutely priceless! Pure Serenity in every song!

How have I only just stumbled across this? Sat here, southern Spain, sun is shining, birds are cheeping.... Filling the countryside with this song right now. Whag a memory created... Massive thanks 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

Lyrically amazing and vocally astounding. Can't wait to see him again in April

He is so freaking good. Cannot wait to see him live

Came straight here after a beautiful choreography by Talia on Tim Milgram channel This song is beautiful😍😍

Every once in a while, the road of your life intersects with the work of an artist who has poured their experiences out for you in a way that reaches into where you are and walks with you for a time. More than just a soundtrack, there is a shared emotional connection- you literally feel what they are expressing and are moved by it. I wept, straight up broken. Thanks Dermot I needed that, can't wait to see you again in April!! God Bless and keep you, you are a gift.

Who in their crazy mind would DISLIKE THIS MASTERPIECE

Oh pleeease put that awesome piece on spotify!!

If only you could see yourself in my eyes you see you shine

This really might be the most beautiful piece of music that I've ever heard

"I was lost Until I found you" "What If the love you deserve is love you never find" WOW so beautifully Shared.

[Verse 1] When everything was broken The devil hit his second stride But you remember what I told you Someday, I'll need your spine to hide behind For fear of moments stolen I don't wanna say goodnight But I'll still see you in the morning Still know your heart and still know both your eyes [Pre-Chorus] I could have told you ‘bout the long nights How no one loves the birds that don't rise So you can tell the heroes go hide My sense of wonder's just a little tired [Chorus] But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine I know you'd never leave me behind But I am lost this time Are we destined to burn or will we last the night? I will hold you 'til I hold you right But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine [Verse 2] So we'll run into the open Keep your hand inside of mine And then when everything is over I hope to think of this as better times The sky got red and swollen I guess I never see the signs There can't be songs for every soldier It can't be solace every time you cry [Pre-Chorus] I could have told you ‘bout the long nights How no one loves the birds that don't rise So you can tell the heroes go hide My sense of wonder's just a little tired [Chorus] But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine I know you'd never leave me behind But I am lost this time Are we destined to burn or will we last the night? I will hold you 'til I hold you right But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine [Bridge] I was lost 'til I found you Now these songs will hold and hide your name All it was was all about you Since that night, the moon has never seemed the same [Chorus] And if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine I know you'd never leave me behind But I am lost this time What if the love you deserve is love you never find? I've learned in love and death, we don't decide And if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine (Aye)

Clicked so fast, and now I'm crying so hard. wtf how dare he add strings to his songs.

5 more sleeps till i hear your beautiful voice live for the first time , you have help me through my griefing process for My True Love My Darling boy Christopher , who passed away suddenly to advanced stage 4 pancriatic cancer he was 45 years old

That was emotional

The lyrics are beautifully written.

In love with his voice ❤️

After 6months, this song still gets me every time.

The most incredible vocals I’ve heard live.... your voice is next level amazing... your on repeat and my whole household loves your music all the way from Australia 🇦🇺

I was lost till I found you, Dermot 😭❤️

"I know you'd never leave me behind, but I am lost this time." Wow that lyric just punched me in the gut. That's exactly how I felt when I was at the height of my depression. This is so gorgeous.

Wish I could meet him in person, his songs have helped through hard times and have truly helped make me a better person

Best song I've heard so far in 2019....seriously a work of art. His voice is captivating

Dermot your songwriting ability is uniquely unmatched. Everything you say I believe. That is so touching

Another great artist from Dublin, Ireland Proud to be Irish and especially a Dub :)

"What if the love you deserve is love you never find? I've learned in love and death, we don't decide" Tattooed for life... Love U Dermot!

Love this one more than the original version 💕💕

How is this mans music not everywhere by now. Incredible artist.

The first time I heard this song, my mom had just passed away. Just a touch over five years ago. I know this song is probably meant to be romantic, but for some reason, it makes me think of her every time. I don’t think I’ve gotten through it once without absolutelyfalling apart sobbing. It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard, and I’m so glad it was gifted to us.

“No one loves the birds that don’t rise” I felt that ahhhh💕🥺

His voice is phenomenal! So glad I discovered him.

My boyfriend first introduced me to dermot’s music about a year ago. We used to have late night car journeys where we’d both just sing along for hours. Now that my boyfriend has passed away, I find so much comfort in these songs, especially this one. All I can see in my mind when I hear Dermot’s voice is my lovely boy’s face and his massive smile that he wore when singing these words to me. Thank you dermot❤️

Both my daughter and I love this man. Absolutely pure vocals. Incredible vocal control. Beautiful melodies. Love stories .... a song must tell us a story and he delivers every time. Bravo!

I'm probably too old and missed too many chances by now but if I were to ever marry, it would be to this song, thank you Dermot and Mahogany for this masterpiece

Nobody can explain how good he is live, you feel what he's singing

Dermot's voice is pure bliss.

A boxing ring full of musicians. Not something you see everyday.

Dermot Kennedy is unique AF. I’m all ears and focused on this piece.

Jesus. With the violin and cellos, this song is just elevated beyond perfection.

An orchestra in an old boxing ring. Something so poetically Irish about this.

damn this song is beautiful... Edit: Five years later and I've watched this at least a thousand times, and I've listened to everything else he's ever released. Thank you to Mahogany for introducing me to this man and turning me into his #1 fan. :)

Thank you Mahogany Sessions for always showing us these beautiful immensely talented artists.

Love this song. I will hold you ‘til I hold you right is the one phrase that really gets me. Thank you 🙏🏻

"What if the love you deserve is love you'll never find".... amazing

What if the love you deserve is love you never find 💔

The strings make this magical on a whole 'nother level. I didn't expect to cry, but dammit, I did.

I’ve heard this song plenty of times without really paying attention but this left me speechless. The combination of his voice along with the instruments is heavenly

To my children Bonnie and Mac, you are what keeps daddy going. ❤💙

Lost Dermot Kennedy When everything was broken The devil hit his second stride But you remember what I told you Someday, I'll need your spine to hide behind For fear of moments stolen I don't wanna say goodnight But I'll still see you in the morning Still know your heart and still know both your eyes I could have told you ‘bout the long nights How no one loves the birds that don't rise So you can tell the heroes go hide My sense of wonder's just a little tired But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine I know you'd never leave me behind But I am lost this time Are we destined to burn or will we last the night? I will hold you 'til I hold you right But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine So we'll run into the open Keep your hand inside of mine And then when everything is over I hope to think of this as better times The sky got red and swollen I guess I never see the signs There can't be songs for every soldier It can't be solace every time you cry I could have told you ‘bout the long nights How no one loves the birds that don't rise So you can tell the heroes go hide My sense of wonder's just a little tired But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine I know you'd never leave me behind But I am lost this time Are we destined to burn or will we last the night? I will hold you 'til I hold you right But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine I was lost 'til I found you Now these songs will hold and hide your name All it was was all about you Since that night, the moon has never seemed the same And if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine I know you'd never leave me behind But I am lost this time What if the love you deserve is love you never find? I've learned in love and death, we don't decide And if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you shine (Aye

Oh Dermot, I hoped so much for an acoustic version of this song - and here it is. Even more beautiful than I imagined. Great composition of the instruments and your voice. Incredibly good!

this version NEEDS to be on spotify!!!!!

This is why I love Mahogany. They never fail to impress.

I’m sorry you’re in so much pain. I pray every night for you to have strength and find your way to me. Let me in..tell me what’s going on within you. I’m always here for you. You’re never alone..💗💗

This gives me the shivers.. That voice though 🙏❤️

He can do no wrong! Perfection

Longing explodes into flame every time I listen to him sing....

“I’ve learned in love and death, we don’t decide.” How simple and profound.

This man and these sounds is the most powerful important sound in my life.

Now these songs will hold and hide your name❤️

What if the love you deserve is the love you never find, i learned in love and death we dont decide. Those lyrics have hit me hard 😞

Dermot, you inspire me to do better and be better... Cause quite frankly you are better.

Pamela this singer D.Kennedy his words are just unforgettable deep in my heart. I will always listen to him to remind me of outlanders. Merci Pam
