Dermot Kennedy has unveiled a powerful new single, Giants.
Inspired by Leslie Dwight’s viral poem, What If 2020 Isn’t Cancelled?, the heartrending, soulful track illuminates Kennedy’s gravitational vocal tone as he offers emotive meditations on the current state of affairs. Give Giants a spin below.
He said:
“Change hurts and growing hurts. Giants is a song about just that, steeped in bittersweet nostalgia. It’s about acknowledging our loss of youth and how time inevitably changes things. Yet in the same breath the song is an encouragement to be brave – individually, and collectively. Walking into an unknown future together can be beautiful just as much as it is scary. As events have unfolded over the last few months and have at times felt hopeless, this song has carried me through as a reminder that the future is still full of hope and there is opportunity in the darkness and a brighter future can await.
“I want people to listen to this song and hold on to that thought. Let go of the past and grab the change that is in front of us, and make it for the better. Even if it hurts. The time is now.”
The Irish singer-songwriter has also recently moved his headline UK tour to April and May 2021 in light of the coronavirus pandemic. Original tickets remain valid, and remaining tickets are on sale now.
