When a song is about depression or hard times alot of people think, "oh sure listening to something like that will put you down". Fact is that it helps and it tells people that they aren't alone, which in turn does the opposite of putting someone down. It shows that it's OK and helps people. Loved it.👍

Very beautiful opinion, I loved this young star, I hate that I had to watch it alone. I’ve been watching AGT since I was a small boy, me and my grandma always watched it together. God we had such a good time too! We loved the comedians, and felt the music. She passed 2018, I was 14 years old at the time, I kept watching agt, but for awhile it became to difficult for me. I’m watching it again today, clips I’ve missed, and I’m in a bit of a rollercoaster. Anyway, keep your confidence, you seriously look like your still on your 30s, celebrities wish to maintain that youthful look, you’ve so naturally kept. Enjoy every second of life, put the insecurities to bed. Life is to short to worry, I wish I spent more time with my grandma, and not worrying about my appearance at school, or my games. Stay safe love

I had a boyfriend in high school that would keep telling me, "It will pass" whenever I was depressed. I thought he was just telling me to brush it under the rug, but he was right. When I look back I think, "Why was I so upset?" Some of it was hormones, I'm sure, and some stuff seemed really bad. And, yes I wrote poetry to get through it. I still get depressed sometimes, but very seldom as bad as back then.

The way he utilizes the alternating 3/4 and 4/4 bars in the verses gives the song its own emotion in and of itself. A song with already powerful lyrics that is backed by the technical theory is rare and has been pulled off in the most perfect way here.
When Simon stops A person from singing the first song that they chose to sing and make them sing another if it be a song they wrote themselves or another known song that person always comes out on top.

One male commenter above describes his voice as a sort of wind-wood tone, interesting.
When he sang your life is fine your love ain’t dead the problem is your mind keeps moving! That hit hard! Amazing!

Such a beautiful line, honestly 🥹
This is by far the most moving, truest audition I've ever seen at AGT. Beautiful person, voice, playing, all full of depth. Song writing and interpretation that connects us all in our humanity. You, your voice, your song writing and interpreting of your songs is so needed in the world. You are the fresh air we need in this stuffy music world that so often regurgitate the same thing over and over. You are so loved by many people who you yet don't know. Your talent is appreciated and needed. My hope is that you keep being the grounded, truthful, humble, sensitive and kind person you seem to be. While I write this I think also of Aurora, the Norwegian singer I as well adore. Wishing you much light in your path, wisdom, grace, and all the beautiful blessings this world can offer!!
Why didn't they hit the gold buzzer? Kids amazingly talented.

To get a Gold buzzer you need a heart breaking story behind you. Thats the format.. His talent is way beyond gold buzzers and even beyond this show
Hes the type of person they should always be looking for... when every hair stands up on your body and you can feel every note the way it's meant to be, love hears the heart
There is soooo much pain and suffering out there. Music can be a healer. Your own depression taught you that song as you sang it from the pain you felt yourself. That’s what life can do and you translated what so many yearn for! Great job!

He has a second (and more) song titled, What Got Into You. I think I love it more. How Bout Saturday is current also.
Oh my... I just saw this and was moved to tears. You're so incredible Kieran, and you have a wise soul. I know a kindred spirit when I see one. Sometimes it's difficult getting along in this world when you feel the world's pain so acutely. Hang in there and let your amazing music keep you alight. I look forward to what you play for us next. I'm a massive fan of Billy Joel and you did him justice with what you played of his song. I'd have loved to hear you finish, but with 'Disengage' as the trade off... No question. Now I'm a massive fan of Kieran Rhodes!
Those lyrics, melodies, and chords are beautifully compatible with each other. This kid is a talented musician!
As he sings in the song, it's just thoughts in his head, and they're horrible, you can hear it in his voice. Depression is a horrible disease, thanks for turning this into a song. Success and health, the rest you will conquer.
I just wanted to hug this kid. His talent is incredible. So impressed.
I was almost in tears, and then I was in such awe I couldn't even release them because his song is so peaceful, it calmed the tears away. I never expected that.
I was lost in this song! Genuine Raw Emotion! I had tears in my eyes and chills all over the rest of me❣️💋
Usually I know how to express my feelings about each act on the AGT stage, but this pianist really just defied my feelings! He has a true gift for talent and shows that talent can overcome everything else in the world! Well done, Kieran! Good Luck at Berklee as well! Your future is bright for you!

Getting into Berklee is not an easy thing to do. Considering what Kieran told everyone about his journey into the world of music it is amazing, if not a miracle, that he was admitted. Being admitted with so little background speaks volumes about his raw talent. They obviously see a diamond in the rough and so do we. Great job Kieran!

Kieran, You are an excellent song writer. And the dynamics of how you sang your beautiful song were equally beautiful. Nothing repetitive. It was very expressive. I was both smiling with tears in the corners of my eyes. Keep moving forward with the God-given talent you are honing. It's wonderful you are sharing it. When you sing, it's not just a melody with lyrics, the heart is felt and poured out. Thank you.

I don't think you every totally come out of it but you can learn to deal with it and I have seen this in my son over the last 40 years. He hasn't the talent this man has for Music but he has his own talents as an artist. Fantastic at pencil drawing and emotionally he is doing way better. Hope the same for you and everyone else who has depression. I have never had it but I have seen what it has done to my son and I am glad he is doing way better.

I'm studying music composition in NYC, and will be applying for Berklee this year, particularly for classes in Music Composition for Film and TV. This guy is an inspiration as I only started in middle school. But he started even later and is self taught, which is unfathomable hard work and skill. I hope he's an absolutely huge star in these next few years :)
