“We’re all just searching for that golden noise” my father use to say. He would say everyone has a favorite sound. A favorite chord. A sound that triggers the heart to flutter. As well as feel sad. How crazy it is that music influences our emotions so much. I can’t imagine a world without it Edit: rip to my father, a good musician
I've been so distraught from how the virus has disrupted my life as a college student and... This gave me the first sense of real peace I've felt in days.
Same man. I work in a pharmacy so it's deemed a "vital resource" during a pandemic so we will literally never close. Even if the store is on fire I'm sure corporate would be like "don't forget to get the receipt survey scores!" It's so draining bc 1. It's crazy busy but 2. Knowing corporate doesn't give 2 shites about us ("if you feel sick don't come in but also remember you're taking unpaid leave if you do!") just makes add to the stress. Hozier helps.
Laoise Macken held mine too at one of the New York concerts. I still don’t know what I did to be so lucky I was AMAZED. He didn’t even touch anyone else 😭😭🥰🥰❤️❤️🥺🥺
I think I would cry if that happened to me, I was almost at the barricade at my concert but these three 6 ft tall men decided to push me behind them😞 I’m 5’2 man I rlly just wanted to see
This feels like the ending of a movie where it ends happily, but also in a sad way. Maybe the main character died but the other character was able to finally move on, or the two main characters decided to die together, holding hands and smiling in the last minutes of their life, i dont know. Something melancholic. Something happy but it still cant make you feel truly happy. There is this hint of a pretty significant sadness that wont go away. There is still this space that feels kinda empty. That makes you feel sad when you remind yourself of it. I dont know how should i explain it, but its happy and sad, in its own beautiful way.
I like to explain this feeling as crying silently but smiling through it, which is something I do quite a lot. The sadness in your eyes but the happiness in your smile, that kind of calm feeling of being at peace, in a thoughtful, meditative state. The smallest things make you happy, and the smallest things make you cry, you’re so sensitive, but it makes you truly feel how beautiful life is, and you notice everything around you. A very deep soulful feeling.
I think it’s sort of like a really sad thing happened or the general overview of a thing is sad, but by gosh we pulled the happiness out of it whatever little we could. We made something that hurt feel maybe okay.
this simultaneously reminds me of hiking in the forest and wading through the rivers during the dog days of summer and being a child waking up in the guest room of my grandparents house early in the morning
Wow. This comment forced a memory that was buried deep in the recess of my brain to emerge without warning and hit me like a brick in the chest (or a wave of cold water and emotion). It immediately transported me to waking up in my (stand in) grandparents house, in the twin bed in their guest room that they always kept clean (and it seemed like, empty just for me even though they had other grandchildren and other friends’ kids that they too invited to their house). I completely forgot about waking up to the sound of birds chirping outside the window and the sound of breakfast being made (sometimes the entire house was quiet and I felt like the only person in the world but it was strangely comforting). Thank you so much for helping me find this memory I didn’t even know I had lost!
I can not describe the huge amount of love and melancholy this video gives me. It's like a temporary heaven in where eveything is perfect for that moment. You are with the love of your life, talking about the good and bad times but it's all good in the end because you have eachother. This is what this video is.
imagine: your lying in the grass of a sunny glade in a forest, watching the foresf go about its life, birds hopping and flying, foxes scurrying and boars snuffling in the distance. an old abandoned and ruined church is a little way into the woods, but you can hear the song of the fae echoing from it, as the forest takes back what is rightfully its
im dutch and ive never heard that name before but that could very well just be me. church in the forest does translate to boskerk, so do with that what you want
i have no ideia what I'm feeling when i listen to this, is like when you remember a thing that happened long time ago, but you don't know nothing about it, you have no ideia what date it was or if it's was real or just a dream that you once have. Is just a memory, or a dream. It's old and new. I don't know how to describe it, but i just feel like crying and i just wanted to know why i feel this in my heart
this is POWERFUL. ive got tears because it sounds so lovely and yet i know the song is about abuse. it takes me back to the transition between the honeymoon phase and the beginning of the deeper abuse my first girlfriend subjected me to. such a familiar feeling i havent felt in so long. but it also made me feel like healing, which is very strange but so comforting, it feels like i maybe might be doing something right. thank you for blessing us with this :)
It’s kind of intoxicating, you’re in love with this person who presented themselves as perfect and you have to see how they really act, how they really are, but you’re in love, so you think it’s okay, you don’t notice, you’re too confused by it to understand, you know they are still that perfect person. Only after a long time does that wear off and you see them for what they are
this is my new quarantine song - it's so relaxing, and the forest sounds really make me feel better about being inside. i've just been playing this on loop for days
God, I didn't know I needed this until now. Imagine you're exploring the ruins of an ancient church in a meadow somewhere in Ireland when you suddenly hear this otherworldly singing voice ringing out through the trees.
This song is so beautifully sad:(. "The way she tells me im hers and she is mine. Open hand or closed fist would be fine. The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine"
this makes my heart ache in such a beautifully perfect way i can't describe it. I wanna run through the forest towards his voice. Bare footed in a flowy yellow dress. I wanna feel the grass and moss between my toes. i wanna feel the soft wind through my hair. I wanna smile and lay in a field of flowers and hum to this beautiful song. I wanna feel happy and free and feel alive.
This makes me think of some woodland spirit like a unicorn or fairy walking through the forest and coming across a small outdoor wedding reception, blessing the couple on their day.
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL i imagine a video in the middle of a forest just running with a white dress, barefoot, enjoying the nature and dancing to the song.
I have been avoiding music for the past few days. With COVID-19 going around and my dad having surgery last week, it’s been kinda stressful. Music has always been such a hopeful place for me, full of light and love. I haven’t really wanted to listen to it though because I’ve been so confused and restless, there seems to be nothing that puts me at peace with everything going on in the world. Found this on my search page, and I must say that this did give me a moment of peace. I can imagine sitting on my colleges lawn, listening to music and laughing with friends. It’s beautiful and it’s like I can almost touch it. Thank you.
More than hearing this song in the forest it sounds like he is actually playing the song to you while in the forest. This is so beautiful, we don't deserve him
this somehow gave me a physical feeling in my chest of wanting to race to that church so fast. But like I feel like if I were able to, I'd never be able to reach it. it feels like a dream. Like I feel like if I tried to find it, I'd just be running forever, but the sound would never fade or get closer.
I saw hozier live at the Hollywood forever cemetery last summer and I kid you not it was truly a spiritual experience. I felt like I was IN CHURCH. Hands raised, eyes closed, everything.
greyιѕc the melody is lovely, I just would worry it could be triggering to your guest. When I first heard this song, I cried, especially when seeing the music video. I’ve been that woman and it’s something you can unsee or unhear. I think that’s hozier whole purpose. He sounds so dreaming singing about something tragic that your almost blind to the pain, in the song ...they love that person so much that they are willing to accept the abuse in for exchange for those seemingly sweet moments
I feel like I’m laying in a field and I hear this and I start to follow the voice until I find an immortal god in a church and we go on adventures together for my lifetime because he will never age.
The sense of solace videos like this bring to me is just inexplicable. There’s this yearning I feel always for something I can’t quite place, but this somehow connects to whatever that is. My bones ache for it, and this just utterly soothes me.
this is so bittersweet. It reminds me of my happiest moment but reminds me that I will never get that moment back. Makes me cry tears of happiness almost
this literally filled my heart with peace like i haven't felt in ages. felt like i was just laying on the grass, feeling the sunlight and the smell of jasmines lol
When I was little I listened to music and I always said it was missing something. A calmness that could make me feel like I’m in a movie, as if the music was far and I could still hear birds and the trees and wind... I’m so glad this was made this is exactly everything I was missing you’re and angel 💖💖💖
deadass had a 1080p vision of me passing by and walking into the church and falling in love with the choir boy singing who catches me staring and gets startled by the presence of another person when he thought he was there alone and then he shyly waves and the rest is HISTORY
i love and hate how some artists (like hozier) can just instill profound feelings in me that i've never even felt!! that is art!!! but it also makes me overallyattachedbecauseiamincapableoffeelingsuchemotionsonmyown 🥺
Yknow when you wake up after a really hard day, and you've cried yourself dry. But then you wake up with a sense of clarity. You just woke up from a deep slumber, dry tears are still on your face. But so is the sun, and the idea of a new hope for a better day blooms in your chest. That's what this edit feels like ♡
I’ve gotta admit, I laughed when I read the title and thought ‘what will these feckin Hozier stand think of next’ But now I’m lowkey on the edge of tears, it’s so exquisitely beautiful
When I had just graduated high school in the summer my friends and I would ride our bikes on trails for hours on end and would blast music like Hozier. This video reminds me of those days ❤️
this is the most peaceful thing ever. i feel like i’m laying in field of flowers. with the girl that i love, and we lock eyes as the sun shines on our faces. the birds fly over us, and it feels like we’re the only two people in the world. there is no problems, no distractions, just pure love. i know the song isn’t as peaceful as that but it makes me feel some typa way.
imagine wandering through a forest and you happen upon this and are drawn in by the music,, you approach the church hesitantly,, thinking you’ll find a beautiful soulful man,, but alas! you have just been kidnapped by the fae
This put my mind in a peaceful state for the first time in weeks, thank you. Anyone who reads this: I hope wherever you are in the world that you stay healthy and make the best of this difficult situation! ❤️
This brings me back to my family's camp house, where my cousin would play her acoustic guitar by the lake. These were the best days of childhood, I miss them 😌
