With the new album, Sonder, Dermot Kennedy admits he’s never related to a word more. Sonder, “the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own,” encapsulates universal themes of love, loss & hope, with the platinum-selling artist evolving into an even more expressive and powerful storyteller

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
