the original feels like when you’re asking someone out for the first time and you’re terrified of what they’re going to say. this version feels like when that romance has ended and you’re wondering if they still think about you the way you do about them. because to you they’ll always be comfort.
I genuinely feel Hozier has the best male voice in the business at the moment. It's so powerful, full of range, its soulful, sincere, full of a rhythm, a flow, its hard hitting, beautiful and he gives it his all everytime even when it looks like he is not trying.
I wholeheartedly agree with you, but if you were looking for an additional voice to melt over, I literally just started listening to them and I guess I'm just a little excited to share/can't believe I didn't listen sooner, but Conor Mason with the band Nothing But Thieves seems just incredible. You can tell that every word sung is deeply felt and meant. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vS67vfcp-S4.html
Well in a different style I can recommend you Tamino. He has this unique voice and style. His vocal range is very large (I'm not sure if it's the right word but hope u get it) and his music is ethnic Egyptian sounds mixed with beautiful English lyric.
The first version (which I’ve loved for so long now) is like falling in love. Hozier’s version is like falling OUT of love, but desperately wanting to keep holding on, missing that spark that used to be there.
Oh snap. I think 22 likes is the most I’ve ever gotten on a RU-vid comment. Sweet, guys 🤙🏻 thanks!! Glad y’all feel the same. Makes me feel less weird for thinking that LOL. Edit: UHHHH SO LIKE HUNDREDS???? THAT’S A FIRST???? 🖤
AM version : let's go to the bar and get wasted while broken hearted Dua lipa version : just have a wine and sobbing on a sofa Hozier version : stay sober through the night and cant sleep because im so overthink and depressed
Arctic Monekys "Do I Wanna Know": taking another sip of your drink as you stare at someone you've been flirting with at a bar all night Hozier "Do I Wanna Know": sitting on the couch with that close friend you've had a crush on forever, having a deep conversation, and making momentary eye contact when a pause in the conversation lasts just a bit too long
Hozier made this song his very own. This version destroys me. It perfectly captures the tone of limerence and lost love. It's haunting, it hurts, and it's so incredibly beautiful. Well done.
but the song was originally made to sound desparate and intense which I personally prefer, hozier songs are more of the sad kind and it's good for him I guess.
The fact that Hozier apparently listens to and likes both Arctic Monkeys and Florence and the Machine has got to be one of the best things in the universe
I think everyone usually talks about his voice, but he is a great musician. He is conducting them. Keeping time for them when he sees them slowing. And the harmonies different rhythms are beautiful and I think he deserves more credit for that.
This is exactly how covers should look like. The artist takes someone else’s song and sing it in their own style, so you have the same song but a completaly new feeling from it. I love the orginial and I love this cover. Beautiful ❤️
@@zoe__7 it's and from frozen... Actually few yrs back I had this colorbook app for Disney... And I had this ana's picture and colored it according to my choice.... So you know it's kind of imagination ana
Notice how he changed it from a minor key to a major key, making it even more emotional when he hits those minor chords. Not many people would have thought to do that, covering a song. He's a true innovator.
Caoimhe (Kwee-vah, it's Irish Gaelic, they've crazy spellings) Barry and Karen Cowley. They are also a band called Wyvern Lingo, they are fantastic they just released an album recently. They opened for Hozier early on in their career. Karen had a duet with Hozier on his first album.
The original (which I absolutely love and keep going back to) sounds like being scared of rejection. night out drinking and meaningless sex with random strangers. This sounds like drinking on your sofa alone while looking at their pictures, depressing basically.
3:54- 4:18 the girl doing the harmony that is highest and loudest in this bit is singing the sweetest melody and i can't get over how great it is and it's now stuck in my head
Original: Drunk confessions, meaningless one night stand turned into one sided romance, sipping a drink while staring at someone from the other side of the bar Hozier’s cover: The fear of ruining the long-term friendship because of newly developed feelings, yearning, heartbreak, and sadness This cover definitely demonstrates the REAL meaning behind the lyrics. The original covers up the tone using cool guitar riffs and bass but Hozier really made me realize how emotional these lyrics are when they’re stripped of that. Hearing them raw does something to me.
I love both versions so much! They are like two stages of recovering from one-sided love. Hozier's version is filled with a deep heartbreak, and longing, and sadness, and yearning. Original feels like you are swallowed by the void, depression and absolute apathy, indifference to everything. I'm not sure which stage goes first
All you commenting about the beautiful capella throughout this should probably know that the backup singers have their own band called Wyvern Lingo. They make some super gorgeous music similar to this, go check them out!
The original was a man afraid of rejection yet also afraid of being with her This rendition is the same man but after he finally got his answer, one he wished he didn’t want to know in the first place
The same song, the same lyrics but completely different perspectives on dealing with unrequited love. The original feels more like the singer can't even admit to himself the level of rejection and loss he's enduring. Whereas this version strikes me as though he's completely and painfully aware of what he can't change but he still holds to hope anyway, which to me translates as tragically beautiful. Who doesn't know the ache of longing and despair, the knowledge that that release will never come the way you want it to but you hold on anyway. Hoping against hope to be the exception to the rule.
They completely changed the overall tone of the song and have now turned it into this hauntingly beautiful rendition. It's so completely different than the original, like a work all it's own, and it's absolutely fantastic.
redder_dominator there actually is a slower ballad-esque cover of mr. brightside done by run river north, you might want to give it a listen it’s quite good imo
That moment when you realize that, no, you really *really* DON'T wanna know that the person you've been feeling for doesn't feel the same. That you'd rather live in ignorant bliss because you know just how fucking bad it's gonna hurt when that realization hits. This cover captures that completely.
@@cupknee that's exactly what I've been feeling lately. I want to ask someone if they feel the same because it's been a while and I'm tired of thinking "what if" everytime I see them and having them in the back of my mind when I date someone else.
@@gellybean3698 yeah it’s always best to just be upfront about your feelings! i had friends who had bad ass crushes on me but they “hid it” because... idk i guess they were too scared? but the moment i got a boyfriend they suddenly got really pissy at me and accused me of leading them on even though they never once shared any real feeling lol. downsides of hiding your feelings: * that person will find someone else * you look like a wishy washy coward * you only stay as their friend because of the chance you may be able to get in their pants?? gross * you waste the best years of your life on hypotheticals * you will continue to suffer internally perks of sharing your feelings: * you may be able to make something of it (a relationship) * you can learn to accept the rejection and move on with your life * no more wasting time on feelings that aren’t mutual * no more suffering internally
@@smokingterd53 he’s not anti god he grew up in a catholic choir, you do not have to be anti god to be pro lgbtq, tmtc is just a powerful movement at the church for saying they accept everyone and then protest lgbtq people
Lyrics: [Verse 1] Have you got colour in your cheeks? Do you ever get that fear that you can't shift the type That sticks around like summat in your teeth? Are there some aces up your sleeve? Have you no idea that you're in deep? I've dreamt about you nearly every night this week How many secrets can you keep? 'Cause there's this tune I found That makes me think of you somehow an' I play it on repeat Until I fall asleep, spillin' drinks on my settee [Pre-Chorus] (Do I wanna know?) If this feelin' flows both ways? (Sad to see you go) Was sorta hopin' that you’d stay (Darling, we both know) That the nights were mainly made For sayin' things that you can't say tomorrow day [Chorus] Crawlin' back to you Ever thought of callin' when You've had a few? 'Cause I always do Maybe I'm too Busy bein' yours To fall for somebody new Now, I've thought it through Crawlin' back to you [Pre-Chorus] (Do I wanna know?) If this feelin' flows both ways? (Sad to see you go) Was sorta hopin' that you’d stay (Darling, we both know) That the nights were mainly made For sayin' things that you can't say tomorrow day [Chorus] Crawlin' back to you (Crawlin' back to you) Ever thought of callin' when You've had a few? (Had a few) 'Cause I always do ('Cause I always do) Maybe I'm too (Maybe I’m too busy) Busy bein' yours (Bein' yours) To fall for somebody new Now, I've thought it through Crawlin' back to you (2x)
this is friends to lovers core , the yearning, the fear of losing something you already have but you're falling deeper and you don't know if the other person feels the same way but you wanna hold on to the hope that maybe they do..
Hozier’s really good at conveying emotion especially emotions when they’re conflicting and hard to express. At least to me, This cover seems less depressing and more “I love you so much, it hurts me”. It’s yearning and tender and helpless and definitely somber but it’s the kind of heartache that you get when you’re full of emotion, not devoid of it. Y’know???
One of the back vocals, the one with the most prominent voice at the end, she could take my life and i would thank her. She is Killing It with her voice and of course, as a gay i am obligated to pay my respects the forest witch father Hozier for his existance.
@Joshua A. Wegmann Of course i have a huge urge to announce i am gay wherever i go. I can't go tell my parents i am gay even though i am 22 and mostly independent, without fearing my father murdering me. I can't tell some of my friends because where i live, most of them are homophobic. I fucking apologize that i see this shitty youtube account as a safe space away from my real life people and happily try to be myself and it inconviniences you. And yeah, start announcing you are straight everywhere, literally NOBODY is stopping you. At worst some of my rightfully jealous gays will mock you for it. It's not like your life literally depends on staying silent about liking whoever the fuck you like. Go hate your wife or something.
Joshua A. Wegmann run with it dude! Go one step further and respect gay people like they do to you! Maybe after that you’ll see how much of a douche you were being to people who just want acceptance without a huge fight over it. We only say it as much as we do to see how many people are like us or are allies, or to pay respects and compliment. You should definitely do more of that, and maybe you’ll find the people you talk so harshly to are human too.
Joshua A. Wegmann this is literally the dumbest thing i’ve read in a while. you’re reeking of privilege and it shows. you don’t have to fear for your life because of your sexuality but some of us live with that fear EVERY single day. imagine getting so bothered by a harmless comment on youtube. homophobic much 🤢
Female vocalists can elevate a song so much. Whenever daddy Clapton performs the song Layla he almost always has female backup vocalists and it makes the song just that much better.
fun fact: if one of the backup singers sounds familiar it’s because they’re karen cowley! they had a duet song with hozier on his debut album called “in a week”!
Amazing how he managed to make this a completely different song. Hozier doesn’t get enough praise for being, in my honest opinion, one of the greatest voices of our time. What a talent.
AM version: broken up with, bitter and ready for some shit talking and rebound at the bar Hozier: A slowburn with someone who you dated and broke up with but are still friends and you're caught in an endless dance around one another wondering if they still love you
This cover is so moving. This is how covers should be done. So many times people cover a song and they play it like the original artist plays it.... covers are an opportunity to see the music and the lyrics in a different light. Hozier gets it. 😍🔥
