I saw him in NYC when Take Me To Church came out. His band live is phenomenal. Every member sings back up, creating such a rich backdrop to his poetic lyrics. Just the best concert I’ve seen to this day.
Thanks for posting. I'm new to him - and I don't know WHERE I've been and how in the world I could have slept on this man and his music. I only heard Take Me To Church this year because other people were singing it on The Voice. Then I started doing some research. He's incredible. He's coming to Madison Square Garden this fall and I hope to go see him. He is the first artist in years and years that I WANT to spend a few hundred dollars to see!
Hozier is such an interesting person i could literally listen to him forever. Kind of activates your own mind & makes you think in a way you maybe didnt. He is an eye opener for sure.
Every actor who's ever worked with the Muppets has said that in a few minutes, you completely forget about the crew and relate only to the Muppet themselves as a real person. I can believe Andrew saw Kermit perform live and saw just Kermit, a mythical figure and not a skinny little puppet on rods.
The very first time I heard of Hozier was in the middle of Ireland, just before he broke it in the US. I was at a manor in the middle of the country side. Chatting with a few locals. And I was told to go home and listen to him and how big he would be. One of the most fun conversations I’ve ever had. Such a favorite of mine. Could listen to his singing and speaking voice for hours.
I appreciate so much that Hozier uses his platform to speak up and call out. Swan Upon Leda absolutely devastates me. So much talent and heart lives in this man.
Yes, it was a truly interesting interview!! Exactly what I was going to comment as well. He being asked great questions, and answering so thoughtfully.
I saw him many years ago in a small venue. He looked so much like my youngest uncle! We are Irish (Atha from the TuAtha). Hozier's message and behavior is so relevant today.
So true what he said about art always having some sort of political dimension. At first I thought "surely not," but when I sat and thought about the art I've made, it's usually an expression of what I wished the world might be (and sadly, what might never be because of the destruction of humanity and the earth)
I'm sorry to be so crude in the last statement. Couldn't help it. He is actually very intelligent, insightful and wise. A gift to Humanity in this moment on EARTH!!!
Rainbow Connection was a cornerstone of my 8 year old repertoire. Pretty sure my mother feels about that song like modern parents do about the Frozen soundtrack.
The Muppet Movie was very special the music comedy actors were top notch RIP JIM HÈNSON YOU CREATED A NEW WORLD FOR PEOPLÈ OF ALL AGES ❤ The fact that Hozier can take such profound pleasure of this 💙 is 1 of the many reasons I'm such a big HOZIER FAN. !!!
Ok somebody said you are Irish. Anybody with an accent . Beautiful. Love it. I am Canadian. To you ,I have an accent. Beautiful ,in anyway shape or form. We are all the same.😻❤️😺
Every single East Coast venue for his concerts this fall is sold out. Yesterday, tickets were available at Madison Square Garden. Today there are NONE. I am so disappointed, because I literally just found out about this man yesterday. Cannot believe I slept on him all these years. Well, I don't know. Maybe I'll go to Paris for my birthday this winter . . .
You are so talented. Love you and would like to know ,something about you. Are you married or in a relationship and how old are you? You are amazing.😻❤️
In the US we have ticket master and live nation which basically have a monopoly on concert ticket sales and jack up the prices. It isn’t anything the artists have a say in or any control over.
Mr Hozier , I really apriciate your voice, talent , apparicion but 10 years ago makeing Take me to church your simply put vaseline to your career - and lyrics is mishi-moshi , empty bad commposed with lack of meaning.
Tell me it just goes over your head without saying so directly 😂 His lyrics are multilayered, poetic, often contain brilliant literary and mythic references... You not getting the meaning doesn't equal the meaning not existing 😅
Such nonsense he speaks. He imagines political dimensions in everything, because he wants to, not because they exist in everything. Great voice though.
That shows how shortsighted you are. The house ( occupant) Hozier mentioned could be knee deep in negative equity because of the corrupt behaviour of bankers and politicians circa the 2008 crash. Exorbitant rents make aspiring to buy your own house in 2023 a pipe dream. The supermarket is a “political” place because of all the choices we make when shopping .. sustainable/ non sustainable, fruit/ veg in season or out of season ( products’air miles, folks.. shop local and in season). Hozier, using simple images says so much and encourages us to take personal responsibility for the choices we make (the politicians we elect and everyday actions that affect or support the environment). Just saying!
Oh Andrew, such a level headed amazing person. I love how you express your concerns about what you see the world doing that we need to change I hope people can learn through your music. The world would be a better place. Your songs are so deep and meaningful and amazingly thoughtful but also so beautiful it's not just deep lyrics the music is gorgeous! We need you in this world hozier opening peoples eyes each amazing lyric at a time
