Dermot Kennedy - An Evening I Will Not Forget / Furthest Thing Lyrics
[An Evening I Will Not Forget]
When love was found
I kept my hope just like I'd hoped to
Then sang to the sea for feelings deep blue
We've had problems that we've grown through
But I bet you dream of what you could do
At seventeen I was alright
Was like nothing I could feel inside
And wishing you were here tonight
Is like holding on
But I still get to see your face, right?
And that's like nothing they can take, right?
So there won't be no feeling in the firelight
Hoping this will be right
I remember when her heart broke over stubborn shit
That's no way to be living kid
The angel of death is ruthless
And I'm always thinking summertime with the bikes out
Pushing our luck getting wiped out
Days with nothing but laughing loud
Underneath my coat won't you tap my shoulder, hold my hand
Nights with nothing but dark in there
You can be my armor then
Island smiles and cardigans
The nights that we've been drinking in
We're here to help you kill all of this hurt that you've been harboring
Confessions should be better planned
Alone, that night, I'm surely damned
Run away. I'll understand
What's important is this evening I will not forget
Purple, blue, orange, red
These colors of feeling, give me love, I'll put my heart in it
I think about it all the time
The lights went out, you were fine
You kinda struggle not to shine
I still love you though
I still love you though
I still love you always
So hold me when I'm home, keep the evenings long
Crack and break and part ways
I still love you though
I still love you though
I still love you always
So hold me when I'm home, keep the evenings long
Let's not crack and break and part ways
And I wonder if I could let her down
[Furthest Thing]
Somewhere between psychotic and iconic
Somewhere between "I want it" and "I got it"
Somewhere between I'm sober and I'm lifted
Somewhere between a mistress and commitment
But I stay down, girl, I always stay down
Get down, never lay down
Promise to break everybody off before I break down
Everyone just wait now
So much on my plate now
People I believed in: they don't even show their face now
What they got to say now?
Nothing they can say now
Nothing really changed but still they look at me a way now
What more can I say now?
What more can I say now?
You might feel like nothing was the same
I still been drinking on the low
Mobbin' on the low
Fuckin' on the low
Smokin' on the low
I still been plotting on the low
Scheming on the low
The furthest thing from perfect like everyone I know
And I hate that you don't think I belong to you
Just too busy running shit to run home to you
You know that paper my passion
Bittersweet celebrations
I know I can't change what happened
I can't help it
I can't help it
I was young and I was selfish
I made every woman feel like she was mine and no one else's
Now you hate me
Stop pretending, stop that fronting
I can't take it
Girl, don't treat me like a stranger
Girl, you know I've seen you naked
Girl, you know that I remember
Don't be a pretender
Getting high at the condo
That's when it all comes together
You know I stay reminiscing
And make-up sex is tradition
But you've been missing, girl
And you might feel like nothing was the same
But I still been drinking on the low
Mobbin' on the low
Fuckin' on the low
Smokin' on the low
I still been plotting on the low
Scheming on the low
The furthest thing from perfect
And I wonder if I can let it down
It's for real, it's for real
It's for real, it's for real

I LOVE YOU DERMOT
Unbelievable ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So drake stole this
Just wow. Every song he sings moves me. Live he is amazing 🙌
The build-up in this song is so brilliant. When I hear him shout out "I wonder if I can let her down," I fall apart inside.
Joe R. Bruh... it touches me right in the feels and I’ve listened to it probably 100 times this month alone
Same shit different skin 👍💔🤔👌🙏💪
Came here because of Gabbie Hanna's podcast
I hate that you don't think I belong to you.
❤️❤️❤️
His voice sounds even better live! If you have the chance to go to his concert do it, you won't be sorry.
I’ve listened to this song over and over now trying to work out what’s wrong.
The lyrics are beautiful and honest, so lucky is the lady he’s singing to and wrong are the ones he’s singing about - but hey, he’s still honest! Then I got it. The music completely overpowers his amazing Irish ☘️ voice and the beautiful lyrics, to the point it’s almost as if he’s ashamed of the words. The piano needs to be toned down. Take the piano out, because whoever came up with the repetitive notes on the piano that for th3 main part completely overwhelm his voice needs to re-think this. A fiddle or violin and/or flute accompaniment coming in so softly at certain points would be so much better, in fact I genuinely feel that he could re-release this with different musical accompaniment or even singing a cappella.....maybe there’s already a release but if so I’ve yet to find it.
Give it time.....he most definitely will not remain underated....he’s literally just coming in to his own. This guy is unbelievable, and I love that he doesn’t take the “Irish” out of his voice and writes his own lyrics or at least plays a very strong part in writing them. He will - as Adele did - lose what to write about and when that happens he should look to his roots, experiences his friends and family went through....go back to his childhood and where he comes from....even his Irish history and develop it in to something more relevant to the here and now. I genuinely feel that this guy has a lot to give lyrically but worry he’ll give in to the pressure. I absolutely love this guy. I just hope that his next album is as good as the “Without Fear” Album...that’s where he may possibly get lost in the sea of other singer song writers. He needs to keep the bar high and not allow his music/voice become too commercialised by the pressure of the industry. Just needs to stay true to himself and his genuine love for music and not let the pressure of “money verses the music” become the driving force. He had me at the first note of the first song I heard of his.....Amazing!👌🏽
best song written.. this is masterpiece..
His new album SUCKS compared to this <3
Dermot Kennedy is literally the most under rated singers.
Sophie Mcguinness nope. He’s ... just too good for this wicked world.
pure gold.
Is it weird that I prefer this over the version that's on the album?
This is amazing 😉 it’s so good and touching😊😘😇
Man his voice I'm definitely gonna see him in concert in Dallas February 11
As good as it gets and the new version on the album is even better
I still love you though, I still love you always
He’s so underrated. He has rare talent
New album No1. though. :)
I’m pretty sure I’ve listened to this song at least 50 times since yesterday no lie
2:17 holy shitballs what a break
When love was found
I kept my hope just like I hoped to
I sang to the sea for feelings deep blue
Coming down
When we've had problems that we've grown through
But I bet you dream of what you could do
At seventeen I was alright
Was like nothing I could feel inside
And wishing you were here tonight is like holding on
But I still get to see your face, right?
And that's like nothing they can take, right?
So there won't be no feeling in the firelight
Hoping this will be right
Time to show your worth, child
I remember when her heart broke over stubborn shit
That's no way to be living, kid
The angel of death is ruthless
And I'm always thinking
Summertime with the bikes out
Pushing our luck getting wiped out
Days with nothing, but laughing loud
Underneath my coat, when you tap my shoulder, hold my hand
Nights with nothing, but dark in there
You could be my armour then
Island smiles and cardigans
The nights that we've been drinking in
We're here to help you kill all of this hurt that you've been harboring
Confessions should be better planned
Alone that night, I'm surely damned
Run away and I'll understand it
What's important is this evening I will not forget
Purple, blue, orange, red
These colors of feeling
Give me love, I'll put my heart in it
And I think about it all the time
Lights went out, you were fine
You kinda struggled not to shine
I still love you though
I still love you though
I still love you, always
So hold me when I'm home
Keep the evenings long
Crack and break and part ways
I still love you though
I still love you though
I still love you always
So hold me when I'm home
Keep the evenings long
Let's not crack and break and part ways
And I wonder if I can let her down
Somewhere between psychotic and iconic
Somewhere between I want it and I got it
Somewhere between I'm sober and I'm lifted
Somewhere between a mistress and commitment
But I stay down
Girl, I always stay down
Get down, never lay down
Promise her break everybody off
Before I break down
Everyone just wait now
So much on my plate now
People I believed in
They don't even show their face now
What they got to say now?
Nothing they can say now
Nothing really changed
But still they look at me away now
What more can I say now?
What more can I say now?
You might feel like nothing was the same
And I still been drinking on the low
Mobbing on the low
Fucking on the low
Smoking on the low
And I still been plotting on the low
Scheming on the low
Furthest thing from perfect
Like everyone I know, yeah
And I hate that you don't think I belong to you
Just too busy running this to run home to you
You know the paper my passion
Bittersweet celebrations
I know I can't change what happened
I can't help it, I can't help it
I was young and I was selfish
I made every woman feel like she were mine and no one else's
Now you hate me, stop pretending
Stop fronting, I can't take it
Girl, don't treat me like a stranger
Girl, you know I've seen you naked
Girl, you know that I remember
Don't be a pretender

You know I stay reminiscing
The makeup sex is tradition
But you've been missing girl
You might feel like nothing was the same
And I've still been drinking on the low
Mobbing on the low
Fucking on the low
Smoking on the low
And I've still been plotting on the low
Scheming on the low
Furthest thing from perfect
And I wonder if I can let her down
It's for real, it's for real
It's for real, it's for real
Starry Night thank you!
I think I've listened to this song about 6 times in a row already and I'm still left wanting it again and again. Absolutely amazing.
The goose bumps and emotion enveloping my entirety are justice to this song, utter perfection infact.... Endless gratitude Dermot xoxo
I showed this song to my 500ml bottle of River Rock. My one and only hydration station. We split for a few years... Then I saw him on stage with Dermo. Since then we've been moist
Lewis Capaldi should cover this song
damn this is a fucking masterpiece.
This song 💕
🔥 WoW 🌪🌪🌪😱 ♥️
How blessed I would feel if I got to see his concert. This man is a poet, and an authentic artist. Every song is a piece of him.
It's epic... pure magic! If you ever get a chance, do it!
I just saw him and he is more amaxing than i imagined he puts every ounce of emotion in his songs just wow! Best artist ive ever seen...go see him if you can!
Amazing *
Going to see him with my wife in February in ATL and honestly I couldn’t tell you who is more excited!
its been a year, thank you bambinobecky for sharing this masterpiece
Wow good fucking song!!!!!
This song reminds me not to give up on myself. Thank you ❤️❤️
I absalutly love this. Your magic tbh X
I can hear this song play all day and all night and all I think about is my X thinking if he ever thinks of me 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞
Imagine Jacob banks and dermont Kennedy. Imagine the rich golden voices and depth we would get to listen to chilling
Jaspreet Takhar omg yes!!!!!!
My new favorite I skipped this song all the time and one day I just listened and regretted it never skipping again
Wise decision
It’s hard to know what you missed out on but when you do...
Love u Dermot. This is my fav song. I first heard of you on a dance show when Travis Wall choreographed a dance to a bit of this song....and I was hooked. Shared it and shared it. Was so excited to see u on Ellen and it was the first time I heard that song u played. Forever a fan. God Bless
My wrong. Travis is wonderful but credit is due to another choreographer. But if anyone likes dance watch SYTYCD season 15 Tavla choreographed to this song. My 1st intro to Dermot and been a fan ever since. 3/5/20 can’t come fast enough!
Talia Favla
Love this guy and his music can’t stop lessoning
I love you, Dermot.
This song is truly magical
Like an incantation.
This is a masterpiece. Perma-goosebumps from your music Dermot. I'm blown away
The lyrics of this song are so beautiful that my soul almost can't contain them. This is just perfect.
All I can say is wow this man is intense!
Whoever you write these songs about, I want to say she is a very lucky girl 💜
💗💗💗💓💓💓💓💓☸️🛐
Get me over this heart break with your music, I’m almost there ❤️
His “Tiny desk concert” version was, in my opinion, the best! Great artist and powerful vocals!
Was a song me and my sister shared a love for❤️🙏🏻 she was a big fan, she wanted to see u live!!

“AND I WONDER IF I CAN LET HER DOWN”
i showed this song to my boyfriend now, best friend at the time. we had parked at our favorite spot. it was a late, warm night in july, i told him i wanted to play him a song. i was unapologetically open with him. he let down the bed of his truck and while i turned the volume up, i climbed up with him. he laid there for a minute, while i sat on the edge, and looking back at him before finally deciding to join him. i laid my head on his chest, heard his heart beat. we looked at the stars.
*run away and i’ll understand it*
*whats important is this evening i will not forget*
*purple, blue, orange, red*
*these colors of feelings*
*give me love i’ll put my heart in it*
his heart started racing.
i never knew this song would hold such a moment in my heart.
i remember being so scared he would kiss me.
i knew when i fell for him, i wouldn’t go back.
i’ve been falling ever since.
straight out of a movie. this is beautiful, God bless you and him
beautiful hunny
That’s Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
African American, my grandfather and grandmother interracial relationship and now I exist, a bliss of Love with the hate of them that disagree of my person, Love seems to be a stranger, but yet I still exist, I am still here Love me or love me not I am a product of Loves Bliss.
You guys still together?
Very emotional 😩
so good <3
Thanks hannah 🙏
SLAY ME 🔪
This song wow! My life! So talented
"Seventeen, I was alright."
"Wishing you were here tonight; it's like holding on."
God bless the thousands of souls crippled by the loss of seventeen lost in Parkland.
Jaime, Gina, Martin, Alex, Alyssa, Cara, Alaina, Luke, Peter, Joaquin, Helena, Carmen, Nicholas, Meadow, Scott, Aaron, and Chris: rest in love and justice.
Best storytelling of the last 20 years
Hold me when Im home. keep the evenings long. somewhere between Psychotic and Iconic... man, such a poet. My favorite song of all time. the piano haunts my heart.
I love that the lyrics show his inspiration from different genres. And the piano ♡
