The Irish part according to hozier at a live concert: Although you are light and bright, You come to me like nightfall(/like night), You and I mixed up together metamorphosised, it's a dark art, the art of shape-shifting
@@lucaquinn7707Gaelic is for both celtic language that's why you have Gaelic Irish and Gaelic Scottish. Although it is still uncommon to refer Irish as Gaelic it's not technically wrong
@@lone2234 with all due respect, I am Irish. it is not called Gaelic. the confusion comes from the fact that in Irish it is called Gaeilge, which is pronounced as "gay-lig" in some dialects of Irish, as well as the fact that Scots Gaelic is called as it is.
What a breathtaking opening to the album. The harmonies and Irish lyrics create such a beautiful contrast to the bass-driven heaviness of part 2. Absolutely stunning.
@@cameron8619 Why are there always people like you? Not all of the songs are like this one, but it doesn't make them 'poopers'. Why do you need to sh*t on everyone else's experience to be seen for a split second? JFC.
Heard this live a month ago in London and it was the most beautiful experience I've had at a gig. The whole crowd and the night itself was silent, like everyone was in a trance. I remember just being captivated by him and his voice. What a beautiful song, I'm so glad I can now listen to it and see the lyrics. Thank you Hozier ❤
My mom passed away recently, my boyfriend broke up with me and I'm terrible at a new job I took a huge risk on. But this, listening to this makes everything seem so much better
I turned out all my lights and listened to this song with my eyes closed, and i have never felt truer fear. Thank you so much Hozier, you shake the human spirit with your voice.
The album of the year (imo) was released today, by one of the greatest musicians of our time. Just when you think he’s peaked and cannot possibly top his almost flawless catalog of songs,he goes one better with every song. This is the new album opener, just in disbelief atm…
I don't know what happens to me when I listen to this. As if there is a deep mystical presence with me in the room, a silently whispered secret about this existence that slowly unfolds in my heart each time a new tone sets in. Thank you for this transcendental experience, Hozier. I am equally grateful and in deep awe.
Go raibh maith agat hozier for bringing back my love for irish. Its so highly romanticised by non-irish yet its poorly taught in our school systems and makes us students hate our language. This has brought back the spark, Powerful schtuff.
@@tubotuba2051 There are parts of ireland that are definitely beautiful, that's why they attain so many tourists or 'lovers of ireland' but living here is a totally different situation. Our education system teaches our language backwards, thats why I personally don't find it a gift to ireland when people come over here and romanticise our language as if we are taught it correctly and as if its a huge part of our culture that we love and speak, which in minute parts of ireland it is (probably the parts non irish people tend to visit) but realisticly it is dying everywhere else as the common way it is taught gains it dislike amongst majority of students, myself included. It's a problem. however I wanted my initial comment to be positive as hozier incorporating it into his music will hopefully add at least a little positive light to the language to irish people who listen as it did for me.
This song feels like such a truly beautiful tribute to Irish music, from the guitar that's reminiscent of traditional songs and the hints of sean nós in the vocals, and hearing him sing as Gaeilge is such a beautiful experience. Tá mo chroí líonta le grá. 💛
Have been /waiting/ for him to speak Gaelic in a song for so long. This whole album feels like a love letter to his culture, his childhood (r&b musician parents!) and his love for history and story. Just fantastic
I can't wait to be lulled into a peaceful slumber...thank you for your beautiful music Hozier, it speaks to the soul ❤ I can't wait to see you in Quebec in September! 🇨🇦
hey there! if you were looking for a translation of the Irish in the last part of this, here's my rough approximation: "you are sweet, and warm, and bright, but you come to me like nightfall, mixed-up together and transformed, this is the art of darkness"
First of all, I'm obsessed with this album. But the way this starts with the creaking of wood (from sitting on a bench?) is so perfect. I have to listen to that part ON BLAST because I feel like we're just getting settled in for a journey, storytime, and that's what this album is to me! I'm a new Hozier fan (addict?) and I cannot get enough of hearing it! 🥹
This Is A PHENOMENAL Track; And The Fact That It Was Chosen to Set The Tone For The Album Is Absolute Perfection. The Gaelic Ending Transcends ALL That I Thought This Project Would Be. There’s No Words To Explain Where This Took Me Upon Hearing It. I’m So Thankful to Experience Everything That Hozier Is.
We all learn irish extensively in school in Ireland but almost nobody uses it after that so i went from fluent to not knowing what Hozier was singing except thay it was as gaeilge... Tis a shame we weren't forced to speak it
go live in a gaeltacht area if it's such a shame for you or you know just use it...if you were fluent you wouldn't just forget,I've never went from knowing a language or parts of it to just not knowing it,you're full of shite
De Selby (part 2) is one of my favorite songs off the album so I was so excited to hear part 1. I’m so glad it was as good as I anticipated!! Love this new album 💜
So happy this album came out the same time I had to read Dante's Inferno for school. My essay is going to be based on this album and Hozier in his entirety
this album is so enchanting,, when the gaelic and harmonies come in,, my heart is at ease! it’s so beautiful yet soul shattering,, im sobbing as i eagerly await my record
I wish I had some of de selby’s mirrors to go back and listen to these songs for 1st time again ! Video for part 2, Gleason captures de Shelby … always floored by this man’s talent
I know that's cliche to say this, but that's so beautiful! I have no other words to describe the feeling of listening to this song, especially bc I'm not fluent in english and what I'm feeling in my heart right now is so complex and deep that I can't express it properly
No sé cómo, pero me transporta. Creí que eso lo hacía Zeppelin o Floyd, descubrí que mi nuevo transporte es este dios. Encima es bellísimo.Desde cualquier ángulo ❤
as an irish gal myself, i appreciate the irish lyrics being included bc they weren't in the booklet and the ones originally on genius are 100% wrong ahahah
hi, I have a question and I would like to know if you can help me. all the translations that I find of these verses seem a bit meaningless to me, I would like to know which would be the most accurate translation, do you have any idea?
