‘Let Me In’ is a song about the struggle to find true happiness, and the people and places that have brought me closest to it in my life. I wrote it on the first day I got to Nashville last summer. I hadn’t written a song in a while, so it felt like I captured something I had been trying to say for a long time. I hope you love this one. #newmusic
3 nights, 2 cities half way across the world from each other. Playing ‘Let Me In’ for the first time at Misneach in Sydney meant a lot to me. Thank you to everyone who came, played and made it possible 💚 full performance now on YouTube! Dx
💚 ’Let Me In’ is about the struggle to find true happiness. Whether it’s a place, or a person, a dream, or a memory you hold dear, I hope you find that room that makes you happy x #newmusic
The first @Misneach Festival ever!!! Thank you to everybody who made last night so special. I can’t explain how grateful I am, to all the artists, to everyone who came and sang along, to everyone who helped put this together. So much dreaming and so much work has gone into this moment. Thank you thank you thank you 🇮🇪 💚 #MisneachFestival #DermotKennedy #festival #sydney #irishmusic
When I was busking, ‘Wish You Well’ by @Mick Flannery was a very important song for me, and I would always lean on it, there were certain songs I would lean on. And often you’d play them right before you go home, because you want to go home in a good mood. This song actually earned me the right to busk in Boston Common, when I had to audition for the man who chose the artists who were allowed to play in the park, so it’s always carried that memory with it when I play it!
