    With 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:
    Better days are comin'
    If no one told you
    I hate to hear you cryin'
    Over the phone, dear
    For seven years runnin'
    You've been a soldier
    But better days are comin'
    Better days are comin' for you
    So when the night feels like forever
    (Mh-mh)
    I'll remember what you said to me
    I know you've been hurtin'
    Waitin' on a train that just won't come
    The rain, it ain't permanent
    And soon, we'll be dancin' in the sun
    We'll be dancin' in the sun
    And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
    And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
    We never miss the flowers
    Until the sun's down
    We never count the hours
    Until they're runnin' out
    You're on the other side of the storm now
    You should be so proud
    And better days are comin'
    Better days are comin' for you
    So when the night feels like forever
    (Mh-mh)
    I'll remember what you said to me
    I know you've been hurting (is our time ever soothing?)
    Waiting on a train that just won't come
    The rain, it ain't permanent (is our time ever soothing?)
    And soon, we'll be dancing in the sun
    We'll be dancing in the sun
    And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
    And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
    And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
    And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
    Your story's gonna change
    Just wait for better days
    You've seen too much of pain
    Now, you don't even know
    That your story's gonna change
    Just wait for better days
    I promise you, I won't let go
    I know you've been hurting
    Waiting on a train that just won't come
    The rain, it ain't permanent (is our time ever soothing?)
    And soon, we'll be dancing in the sun
    We'll be dancing in the sun
    And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
    And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
    And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)
    And we'll sing your song together (eh-eh, eh-eh)

    I've been battling colon cancer stage 4 at only 34 years old. Yesterday I heard I'm cancer free. This song is just wow... It came on the radio while I was waiting in the room just before surgery.
    - Edit: had my first scan after three months! Still clear!🎉
    - Edit: scan 2 after six months! Still clear 🌸
    - Edit: scan 3 after ten months. Still clear and rocking my after cancer life!
    - Edit: scan 4 after 14 months. Still in the clear and greatly thankful for being on the other side of the storm. Thanks for all the sweet comments. I smile every time I get a notification :)
    - Edit (nov, 23): scan 5 after 18 months: no evidence of disease🎉🥹
    - Edit (March, 2024): scan 6 after 22 months! Everything is still in the clear. NED. Even when fear sometimes takes all control over me, I have a beautiful life and I am so thankful.

      Hosea 14:4 | View whole chapter | See verse in context I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.

      And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
      Jeremiah 3:6 | View whole chapter | See verse in context
      The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
      Jeremiah 3:12 | View whole chapter | See verse in context
      Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.
      Let`s not be fools and take GOD`S love and longsuffering granted:
      Even though we read, that HE forgives our backsliding and calls us all back, let`s not take it all granted and just let the backsliding happening. Let`s be and getting wiser and wiser and let`s AVOID the backsliding.
      May we all shall be protected from all the temptations.
      We need laws and re-create these (and change) these to "keep" life peaceful and under control. Why don`t we try to live after the laws of GOD - HIS 10 commandments?
      Humans are intelligence , so what is stopping us? Our PRIDE? - us being without a real knowledge?
      Let me ask again: WHAT IS STOPPING US TO LIVE righteously? We clearly are able to, otherwise the LIFE OF CHRIST was pointless.

    My younger brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on. I love you Myles, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life.

    I’m getting divorced at 28 after a very traumatic relationship, have had significant health issues for the past 15 years, lots of family problems, other painful heartbreaks, always struggled to feel comfortable wherever I’ve lived and constantly studied and worked crazy hours. But I am now starting to heal and feel the joys of freedom / being unattached to anyone, I’m managing my health better, getting therapy for family/divorce/other issues that’s helping a lot, have plans in place to get my own flat and I have a new job (after 4 years of interviewing) where I’m respected. This song felt like that entire journey was captured perfectly, at the exact time I needed to hear it. Thank you Dermot 🙏🏻

      Fasting truly does miracles for this disease, you CAN reverse it and heal it completely on your own if you are diligent enough. This and plus getting rid of ALL processed foods including gluten products like bread or pasta, only vegetables, fruit, and pure grass fed meat allowed, some dairy too only if they are pure and not loaded with additives. Best to stay away from all grains they mess up your intestinal walls and cause all types of autoimmune diseases all over the body which worsen the current condition. May GOD help you and be with you, and come to Jesus if you haven’t already so you can be saved from the death that is everlasting which is hell, and brought into the Kingdom of God which is coming very soon. All the best and God bless you!

    I'm so grateful for songs like these. I'm almost 40 and life has been, well, not worth it. I've been fighting every day of my life to be here and things only seem to get worse. I lost my mom recently in a horrible way that left me in the biggest existential crisis of my life. I'm only still here because of my 15 year old son. I'm all he has now. So, the only option is to keep fighting. This song is beautiful, validating and gives me hope. Thank you so much for this.

I was told not to expect a heart beat. I’m now 22 weeks pregnant he’s still alive and still fighting and this song gives me hope every single day. I’ve just read the comments and it seems that I’m not the only person this song has been helping. I can only thank you ❤ when my baby is born he will be told that this is his song and I’ll play it too him for years xxx

I have no idea how I have missed this artist over the years but I did. The day he sent me this song was a bad one on depression, as I was given 6 months recently told I’ll be on chemo the rest of my life, I have a 5 yo daughter and am only 35 (I complained about an issue with my health for 16 months to end up having a heart attack that led to finding the tumor and now it’s too late) this will be played at my funeral and I do pray for a miracle every day and that I’ll get more years.

    This song touches me deeply, almost one year ago I suddenly fainted. I was taken to the hospital by ambulance where thru a scan they saw a big brain tumor.
    I am 33 and I have 2 kids. I got a 23,5 hour surgery where they subpartially removed the tumor but due to all this I got my left side paralised. Every single day I have faith that I will get thru this and go back to a functional life with my God's help. there are many hard/frustrating moments (mostly because I am Colombian living in the Netherlands), where I don't feel supported nor understood. But I have 100% confidence I will defeat this.

    We never count the hours until they're runnin' out
    If you're on the other side of the storm now, you should be so proud
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Better days are comin'
    Better days are comin' for you (Mm-hmm)
    So when the night feels like forever (Mm-hmm)
    I'll remember what you said to me
    [Chorus]
    I know you've been hurtin' ([?] soothin')
    Waitin' on a train that just won't come
    The rain, it ain't permanent ([?] soothin')
    And soon we'll be dancin' in the sun
    We'll be dancin' in the sun
    And we'll sing your song together (Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
    And we'll sing your song together (Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
    And we'll sing your song together (Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
    And we'll sing your song together (Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
    [Bridge]
    Your story's gonna change, just wait for better days
    You've seen too much of pain, now you don't even know
    That your story's gonna change, just wait for better days
    I promise you, I won't let go
    [Chorus]
    I know you've been hurtin'
    Waitin' on a train that just won't come
    The rain, it ain't permanent ([?] soothin')
    And soon we'll be dancin' in the sun
    We'll be dancin' in the sun
    And we'll sing your song together (Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
    And we'll sing your song together (Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
    And we'll sing your song together (Yeah, we'll sing your song, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)
    And we'll sing your song together (Yeah, we'll sing your song, hey-hey, hey-hey, hey, hey-hey)

    I suffered from an antibiotic adverse reaction in 2015 that basically blew up my brain and nervous system. I was 21. My life has been hell for the last 7 years. I’m finally healing myself after no doctor could help me or give me answers, I was essentially gaslight and abandoned. I am my own healer. This song empowers me each day to keep moving forward and look for the light at the end of this long traumatic tunnel. Sending so so much love to anyone healing from any illness or mental/emotional trauma. You can move through this, you can get to the other side. Moment by moment, day by day…your story will change ❤

This song is for us. Thanks Dermot.

My beautiful husband who passed away a month ago, my family have been sending me this song, to comfort me, words that my husband would wish for me, it's just amazing how Dermot's music spoke to us together and now even separated by death speaks, music is such a powerful medium and Dermot is an absolute musical wizard. 🕊️💚💛

    seeing so many people share their stories and what this song means to them is simply incredible...we're all so different but we're all brought together by this song. I've been struggling with a chronic illness for the past 5 years. There's no cure and it'll only get more and more difficult. Any illness I get can cause it to attack another part of my body. I'm tired. I try to stay positive, there are so many treatments now that weren't even around ten years ago, but sometimes I get so scared. I'm prone to so many types of cancer and organ failure. Sometimes it feels pointless, because why should I try to keep healthy when I'm dying? I know better days are coming but it can be hard to remember it sometimes. But I'll keep going. I'll keep praying for me and everyone else struggling.

From songs such as 'Lost, Rome, Boston, Shelter, After Rain and more, I keep wondering how this Irish song writer casually but beautifully summarizes my life anytime he sings😊!! I find them so much relatable and so so resonate with me.
    Ever since a friend introduced one of his songs to me (Out numbered), I have followed him like religion.

    Last week this time, after walking out of a stressful interview, at the dinner place, I came across this song. I almost cried in public as it hit so many nerves deep down inside me. Reflecting my life so far it really has been tough. I could go on and on, from how I was always a 'troubled kid' when I was young, and how much problems my family has, to the experiences I had in the recent years (about 4), which started with my grandmother passing away, coinciding with me graduating college and COVID, all at the same time...
    Today I just got a call back, informing that I was actually offered that job that I was interviewing for. Needless to say, it's the true beginning of a new, and I believe, a much better chapter of my life. Can't help but to come back here. As my story IS changing, and better days as I know it, ARE coming. This is really a powerful song, that says precisely, about someone who has been though hardships and trying to fight a way out of it.
