Dear Dermot Kennedy

Hello Dermot, I'll be honest upfront. I wouldn't say I'm not a fan, I'd just say I wasn't really aware of who you are.  Today I dropped my son off at school and as I drove away I switched on the radio. The odd thing was it wasn't the station I usually listen to as a I drive away from the school. One of your songs just happened to be playing. "But better days are comin' Better days are comin' for you" And I stopped and I started listening. Stopped as in stopped thinking thoughts, not stopped the car. It's school drop off, you don't stop the car.  The song continued... "The rain it ain't permanent And soon, we'll be dancing in the sun" Let me explain. Today wasn't just an ordinary school day. It was the 'I'll give it another go" swim day! My son has a rare condition called Prader Willi Syndrome. For him, part of having PWS is living with anxiety. Anxiety is a constant feature in everything he does daily.
