@@MrAlice613 when he says "she laughs like you" and "she's almost you", you can hear this groan or growl (idk what to call it best) layered in the backround.
He's a selkie. Unfortunately he'll be going back to the sea again after this tour ends...Unless someone gets ahold of his selkie skin so he'd have no choice but to stay here with us in his human form.
I simply don't know how to express this. His songs somehow make me a different person. I create a whole new personality whenever I listen to one of his songs. One second I'm 17 and living in a busy city and then I'm a 55 year old woman living in the countryside with only my deers and the trees wishing for something that I had long ago? It's wild.

I have to agree . I saw him in concert a few weeks back, Right at the front...no pushing or shoving, before he came on people were chatting to strangers , smiling and excited to share the experience . The gig was phenomenal and the audience were part of it . all leaving slightly dazed and in awe, Waving goodbye to those strangers and wishing them a safe journey home. Bloody Marvelous!!
@@adriannafrankk2892 I took my 3 adult daughters , we have seen hundreds of artists between us and we all agreed that it was the friendliest concert any of us had ever been to. Hozier, the band , the lighting all amazing. But is was the crowd participation that made it really special. There was sooo much love in the room. Do yourself a favour and go see him. I promise you...you won't regret it! xx
For some odd reason this song sounds like a father who lost his love and he has to raise their daughter on his own and they are both recovering from this lost. The daughter laughs like the lost love and the father is reminded of their lost. In short it reminds me of a father and daughter recovering over the lose of a loved one. I know this is way off but that’s just what I think every time I hear this song.
This was first song to make me smile. My son died 10 months ago. Even though it’s not what the song is about. I think about my partner and our commitment to each other. I like your point of view. Thank you for sharing it.
@@Oneirosek Yes, according to the track list NCP is the first track, and Shrike is the 8th track. www.amazon.com/Wasteland-Baby-Explicit-Hozier/dp/B07MM3BVQS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1548214524&sr=8-1&keywords=Hozier
lol wow. me too. I didn't realize it unil you said it. it's a past life. Soul travel thing that happens with you hear him. My spirit travels when i hear him and I remember me.
The last time Hozier released music was the best year of my life. Then I had some really not so great years. Now, he’s releasing music again.......sooooo this is about to be my year??
I always take this song as a widowed father taking care of his daughter on a particularly rough day and writing to his recently passed wife about how she reminds him of her and them learning to be okay again
Lyrics: [Verse 1] I came in from the outside, burned out from a joyride She likes to roll here in my ashes anyway Plagued from the bedside, Stella by starlight There was my heart, the drums that start off night and day [Pre-Chorus 1] The same kind of music haunts her bedroom I'm almost me again, she's almost you [Chorus] And I wouldn’t know where to start Sweet music playin' in the dark Be still my foolish heart Don’t ruin this on me I wouldn’t know where to start Sweet music playin' in the dark Be still my foolish heart Don’t ruin this on me [Verse 2] Tell me who, and I'd be thanking 'em The numbered lovers of Duke Ellington Do I owe each kiss to lip and cheek as soft as Chet can sing? Let’s get lost and let the good times roll Let’s smoke rings from this paper doll Blow sweet and thick 'til every thought of it don’t mean a thing [Pre-Chorus 2] I got some color back, she thinks so, too I laugh like me again, she laughs like you [Chorus] I wouldn’t know where to start Sweet music playin' in the dark Be still my foolish heart Don’t ruin this on me I wouldn’t know where to start Sweet music playin' in the dark Be still my foolish heart Don’t ruin this on me [Bridge] I wouldn’t know where I wouldn’t know where I wouldn’t know where, I wouldn't know where I wouldn’t I wouldn’t know where I wouldn’t know where I wouldn’t know where, I wouldn't know where I wouldn’t know [Verse 3] The very thought of you in midnight blue [?] A love supreme seems far removed I get along without you very well some other nights Lord, the radio newsreader chimes Reporting Russian lullabies She'll turn to me, awake, and ask, "Is everything alright? [Chorus] And, Lord, I wouldn’t know where to start Sweet music playin' in the dark Be still my foolish heart Don’t ruin this on me I wouldn’t know where to start (I wouldn't know where) Sweet music playin' in the dark (I wouldn't know where) Be still my foolish heart Don’t ruin this on me I wouldn’t know where to start (I wouldn't know where) Sweet music playin' in the dark (I wouldn't know where) Be still my foolish heart Don’t ruin this on me I wouldn’t know where to start (I wouldn't know where) Sweet music playin' in the dark (I wouldn't know where) Be still my foolish heart Don’t ruin this on me. Like so everyone can see
This song is my absolute favourite after a horrible pregnancy. I lost 10kg because of HG, I could barely move because my baby took all off the nutrients I had in my body. The birth took 28 hours and I lost a lot of blood. I truly believe that my man is the only reason that I survived all of it. He was there when I couldn’t take care of myself, and he was the only one that managed to calm me down in the delivery room, and he is the one who delivered our baby. He is everything I could have dreamed of and so much more, and now he is the best father for our little girl who looks and acts just like him. So I got some colour back, and she thinks so too. I laugh like me again and she laughs like the man I love with all of my heart ❤️
I cried from the first listen. There is something so sincere and personal about this song. It's like Hozier makes music for each one individually, and that song becomes a different new song to each one of us...
IM SUPPOSED TO BE WRITING A RESEARCH PAPER BUT SCREW THAT IRISH DADDY HAS RELEASED NEW MUSIC (edit: this is now on loop as I write my research paper at an ungoldly hour of the morning)
two things: one, this is only my second hozier song and i'm in love with his music second, as a jazz major? i'm like bouncing off the walls in excitement at the references and everything
@@chrizeldabernil8323 I'm excited too! I'm suuuuper slow when it comes to incorporating new artists into my music tastes so it'll take me a while to get all of his works into my head but in the meantime I keep listening to this one on repeat XD it's just so amazing!
@@ginafernandez2439 I haven't gotten to that one yet but I think it's fair to say that I am wholly obsessed with the three or four songs of his I've listened to by now :D
@@minnabella1948 you'll fall in love all over again when you hear the last album from beginning to end. If you're a Blues fan, he does this gorgeous cover of Skip James' Illinois Blues... Haven't found that one on here anywhere though.
I came in from the outside burned out from a joyride She likes to roll here in my ashes anyway Played from the bedside is Stella by starlight That was my heart the drums that start off night and day The same kind of music haunts her bedroom I’m almost me again she’s almost you I wouldn’t know where to start sweet music playin in the dark Be still my foolish heart Don’t ruin this on me I wouldn’t know where to start sweet music playin in the dark Be still my foolish heart Don’t ruin this on me Tell me who and I’ll be thanking them The numbered lovers of Duke Ellington Do I owe each kiss to lip and cheek as soft as Chet can sing? Let’s get lost and let the good times roll Let’s smoke rings from this paper doll Blow sweet and thick til every thought of it don’t mean a thing.

A love supreme seems far removed I get along without you very well some other nights Lord, the radio newsreader chimes reporting Russian Lullaby She’ll turn to me awake and ask is everything alright? And lord I wouldn’t know where to start sweet music playin in the dark Be still my foolish heart Don’t ruin this on me I wouldn’t know where to start sweet music playin in the dark Be still my foolish heart Don’t ruin this on me I wouldn’t know where to start sweet music playin in the dark Be still my foolish heart Don’t ruin this on me I wouldn’t know where to start sweet music playin in the dark Be still my foolish heart Don’t ruin this on me
Parker Mason yeah that line is hard to make out he’s definitely saying “on me.” At the end but I’m not sure if it’s “ruin this” or not cause it would make less sense, but I’ll fix it! Thanks!
I love all the jazz references! "Still up my starlight" would be "Stella by Starlight," a jazz standard. Also references Duke Ellington, Chet Baker, and "I Get Along Without You Very Well."
He brings to mind Albrecht Durer, not exactly a likeness, but I'd really like to see a painting of Hozier's hands. They're a masterpiece in their own right, that also create art as well.
neptunelyrics it’s very weird to hear someone say “Andrew.” I mean, obviously his friends and family don’t call him “Hozier” it’s just I rarely think about the fact that his name is “Andrew.”
@@lillieeve6969 Well there are days that I see him more as a person than a singer and vice versa. but if you think about it it's not that weird, finally both are their names :)
Used to play his first album on repeat when I would paint. I lived in my first apartment, with no internet or tv, so anytime I hear his voice, i appreciate the simple things more.
He is a genius. This song is composed of song titles from the greats over the last 60 years. [Verse 1] I came in from the outside Burnt out from the joy ride She likes to roll here in my ashes anyway Played from the bedside Is “Stella By Starlight” “That Was My Heart”… The drums that start off “Night And Day” [Pre-Chorus 1] The same kind of music haunts her bedroom I’m almost me again, she’s almost you [Chorus] I wouldn’t know where to start “Sweet Music” playing “In The Dark” Be still “My Foolish Heart,” Don’t ruin this on me I wouldn’t know where to start “Sweet Music” playing “In The Dark” Be still “My Foolish Heart,” Don’t ruin this on me [Verse 2] Tell me who, and I’ll be thanking them The numbered lovers of Duke Ellington Do I owe each kiss to lip and cheek as soft As Chet can sing “Let’s Get Lost” And “Let The Good Times Roll” Let “Smoke Rings” from this “Paper, Doll” Blow sweet and thick ’til every thought of “It Don’t Mean A Thing” [Pre-Chorus 2] I’ve got some colour back, she thinks so, too I laugh like me again, she laughs like you [Chorus] I wouldn’t know where to start “Sweet Music” playing “In The Dark” Be still “My Foolish Heart,” Don’t ruin this on me I wouldn’t know where to start “Sweet Music” playing “In The Dark” Be still “My Foolish Heart,” Don’t ruin this on me [Bridge] I wouldn’t know where I wouldn’t know where I wouldn’t know where, I wouldn’t know where I wouldn’t I wouldn’t know where I wouldn’t know where I wouldn’t know where, I wouldn’t know where I wouldn’t know [Verse 3] “The Very Thought Of You” and “Am I Blue”? “A Love Supreme” seems far removed “I Get Along Without You Very Well,” some other nights The radio news reader chimes Reporting “Russian Lullabies” She’ll turn to me awake and ask, Is everything “Alright” [Chorus] I wouldn’t know where to start “Sweet Music” playing “In The Dark” Be still “My Foolish Heart,” Don’t ruin this on me I wouldn’t know where to start “Sweet Music” playing “In The Dark” Be still “My Foolish Heart,” Don’t ruin this on me [Chorus] I wouldn’t know where to start “Sweet Music” playing “In The Dark” Be still “My Foolish Heart,” Don’t ruin this on me I wouldn’t know where to start “Sweet Music” playing “In The Dark” Be still “My Foolish Heart,” Don’t ruin this on me
This song is sunshine and laughing and pulling another person close to you This song is getting caught in the rain and watching all the cotton candy melt on their mouth This song was a sad freedom wrapped up in a façade of grace It was longing and desire and the little bit of shadow that clings to every ray of sunshine Its being comfortable in your own space and realizing the sunshine is just as beautiful when its just you who its shines on
Who’s here after Cameron Boyce passed away 😢💞 RIP 😭. This seems so unreal & it seems like a nightmare. Talented, young, humble, & just a great person has been taken away from this 🌎. Gone but never forgotten! He left so much for us to still remember, such a great actor. He will always be in our hearts. 🤧
He was after of most ppls childhood and now he is gone it feels like a bit of our childhood is gone but he wouldn't want ppl to be sad Cameron was a smart funny and nice person he will be missed by fans and friends and family may be rest in peace 🙏💙
FANDOM LOVER Ik it’s tough 🤧 but you’re cousins aren’t gonna b the only ones feeling hurt about this. He had millions of fans, family, & friends. We are all hurting but we just gotta move on & be happy because Cameron wouldn’t want to see none of us sad. 🤞🏽
I love all the jazz references! He said he listens to a lot of jazz but that it doesn't necessarily come through in his music, I guess this is his answer to that... A Love Supreme I Get Along without You Very Well The Very Thought of You Duke Ellington Chet Baker Paper Doll - just to name a few! Great artists pull inspiration from everywhere!
at this point i just gave up on trying to listen to someone else other than him.every melody and lyrics sounds so...real.raw.full of love and feelings.so natural. it's almost as if going back to real life is very painful after listening to his music.it makes me so happy and sad at the same time, how can someone and music he creates can be so powerful and beautiful.thank you so much for making my life both amazing and horrible.
As always never disappoints, this man, to make a song about songs that shape us. A true gift to this modern World, a voice for all of us destined to watch our surroundings decay and rise again because of people like him. I love it how he is so dedicated to put every word in the right place, every note, every voice, to bring meaning to misery and happiness filling us with joy and sadness in the same time, that is the artistry of great musicians though...much love I wish you all the best for the future

Sweet Andrew. i totally dig this sultry Irish man. he is by far and wide my favorite singer of all time.!! LOVE HIS VOICE! love his activism also! he has a huge heart!
all the flowers in my garden thought it was spring and bloomed early as I blasted this out the window, they are currently swaying in time to this incredible song peace love & happiness to anyone reading this
@@Olifactory Do I owe each kiss to lip and cheek as soft as (Chet) can sing and (I get along with out you very well) some other nights I put them in the brackets, but I'm thinking that's right?? (Edit: People! The more I listen the more I find! Let's get lost - album Almost you - Almost Blue reference Tbh, I'm just going to go down a Chet Baker rabbit hole here. If you need me ask Alice! Bye...)
