Chords for Dermot Kennedy surprises singer Michael and they perform 'Giants' | The Late Late Toy Show | RTÉ One

[E] Well it's all about Mayo now isn't it because our next performer hails from beautiful Ballina and we heard he was a massive Dermot Kennedy fan so that made choosing a song for him very easy.
This guy is a great talent, not only that but he's also a great guy.
Would you welcome please Michael Maloney who's right over here.
Let me just say hi to him.
How are you Michael?
Hi how are you?
You're a big Dermot fan?
Oh I love Dermot Kennedy.
Good good and you obviously enjoy singing in his music broadly speaking.
Definitely.
And tell me about family.
Oh yeah well on my mum's side I have my granddad who played the accordion and he sang so my aunts and uncles they love music as well.
So you've got a lot of music in the house.
Okay and that's on one side and on the other side?
I have my granny she played piano and sings and she taught the piano so again all my aunts and uncles they play guitar and they sing.
This is your first time on the Toy Show.
It is.
And you wanted to dedicate your performance tonight to someone special.
Yes well my dad.
Go on.
So he passed away three years ago.
I'm sorry Michael okay.
Yeah so I know he'd be really proud so you know.
You know he'd be the proudest man in Ireland to see his son singing like this.
That takes courage.
Thank you so much.
Sing this for your pop right?
Definitely.
Give it everything you got.
Here's Michael.

[F#] _ [E] _ _ [G#m] _ [F#] _ [G#m] _ _
The hope [F#] and the hurt [F#] has lived [G#m] inside of me.
There's [F#] gold in the dirt [F#] I never took the [G#m] time to see.
But I [F#] knew of its worth [F#] when you walked [G#m] beside of me.
And my [F#] hand's hitting yours [E] like a [F#] bird would [G#m] find a breeze.
We used to be [F#] dying.
[B] But when [E] did we [F#] stop?
[G#m] _ _
[F#] Say the [B] word and [G#m] I'll be yours.
[F#] You know I never [G#m] forgot we were [F#] talking inside and [B] _ [F#] time catches up.
[G#m] _ Say [F#] the [B] word and [E] I'll be [F#] yours.
You know I never [G#m] forgot. _
I knew [F#] from the start [F#] you'd be the one to [G#m] set me free.
A day [F#] in the park [B] when the [F#] hurt would [G#m] hide from me.
Those eyes [F#] used to know me it's been way too [B] long.
[F#] You are the moon [G#m] and the stars and all they gaze upon.
Time won't ever [F#] move slowly.
What you waiting [F#] on?
What you waiting [G#m] on?
We used to [F#] be dying.
[B] But when did [F#] we stop?
[G#m] _ [B] Say the word and [E] I'll [F#] be yours.
You know I never [G#m] forgot we were talking [F#] inside and [B] time [F#] catches [G#m] up. _
[F#] Say the [B] word and [G#m] I'll be [F#] yours.
You know I never [G#m] forgot.
_ [F#] _
You [E] [B] say you will.
[G#m] Will you remember [F#] those times that [B] I have held until [F#] tonight?
[B] If you say you will [G#m] I'll leave it [F#] all behind.
Don't you remember those times?
We used to [F#] be dying.
[B]
But when [F#] did we stop?
[G#m] _ [F#] Say the [E] word and I'll be [F#] yours.
You know I never [G#m] forgot we were talking [F#] inside and [B]
time [F#] catches [G#m] up.
_ [F#] Say the [E] word and I'll be [F#] yours.
You know I never [G#m] forgot.
We used [F#] to be dying.
[B] _

_ _ [N] You didn't know that was happening did you?
No.
I did not.
Dermot Kennedy and lovely Michael.
Well done, well done, well done.
Oh my god, it's great.
Thank you so much, well done.
Dermot, thanks for coming in.
I know.
I think that was one of my favourite reactions.
You were such a professional because you were like going,
then you go, keep going.
You were so good and you're a brilliant talent.
Dermot, what do you think of this guy? So good.
No, no, no, it was flawless.
I was more nervous than you coming in to do this.
You made it to the toy show.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, finally.
You're a great sport for doing that.
You know something?
Your dad would be so proud of you, wouldn't he Dermot?
To see his son.
The way you ploughed on through to the other side,
you didn't falter, you stayed strong,
you're a great human being.
Congratulations.
Oh, thank you so much.
Keep going, you're a superstar.
I love this, I love this.
Thanks Dermot.
Oh, you're welcome.
I heard some very good news about you.
You went to number one today.
Congratulations Dermot.
That's good news. _
You're number one in the charts, you're number one in our hearts.
This is a good news story.
Okay, I'm loving that.
Congratulations, you feel happy?
Thank you very much.
Sort of, yeah.
Did you want to say something to Michael?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, it was perfect honestly.
And the folks at Wynne Mill Lane Recording Studio reached out
and they're super kind and so you've got a full day there
to record your own songs.
You got the run of the place basically, so just, yeah.
Is that okay for you?
More than okay.
That's_ Woo!
Thank you.
You deserve it, you deserve it.
Do you write music?
I do, yeah.
Can you maybe record some of your own tracks?
Definitely.
Yeah.
You're one of the kind people, I can tell looking at you.
Okay, you deserve all the good things you get.
Lovely to see you, great to meet you.
Everybody, wonderful.
Dermot and Michael.
Thank you. _ _
