I love how much he drives home how Black music has influenced him every chance he gets. It’s important and he never misses a moment to contextualize where his sound came from. ❤️🙌🏾
I've seen a lot of Hozier interviews, and this one was so good. Scott is great at not putting too much of himself in the interview but enough to feel personable and genuine. And the questions themselves were really spot on and good solid asks. Great interview.
Loved this interviewer because you can tell he did his research! I appreciated hearing Hozier reflect on how hard he worked to promote his first single and album vs. it being solely about the Internet virality. And it was interesting hearing him try to grasp the surreality of being a touring artist living between words. I can't wait to hear the other songs that didn't make it on Unreal Unearth!
Hearing “there aren’t very many paparazzi in Ireland” I think about that also with Harry Styles, it’s good to hear that artists get to have the lives to themselves that they want, but it makes it so much more clear to me that LA culture and America normalized stalking celebrities and needing to know what they’re doing at all times, even if it’s nothing to do with their artwork. I think about how some people may feel like through social media they may need to be constantly doing something public or “noteworthy” to seem busy and justify their popularity and it’s exhausting and sad to think that tabloid culture made so much money off of celebrities that it’s normalized to not let them have even a bit of privacy as if we’re entitled to their every second. I’d much rather you be beekeeping, swimming, quietly reading undisturbed at home.
They're artists in the 2nd place. They are people first and foremost. Glad some folks can be artists and live a decent life. They enhance our lives... wish we didn't have to impinge on theirs.
Great interview, but I have to comment on the typical New Yorker thing to say, that everyone works in NY but only a handful of people work in LA outside of musicians and actors. How ridiculous. Hozier even seemed baffled by that statement. I'm with Hozier when it comes to Sinéad O'Connor - what a terrible loss. She was a treasure and definitely had an impact on my life.
He mentions a music festival in Dingle. I looooved Dingle. Definitely a gorgeous town in Ireland. I was lucky enough to travel around Ireland for my Honeymoon (we are since divorced, but it was such an undeniably magical trip). I joked with the keepers of the B & B …”you’ll want to Dangle in Dingle” 🤣🤣🤣✨✨✨But really, this is about Hozier. One of my most favorite artists today. He and Miley Cyrus and Florence and the Machine, as well as The Lumineers. 🫶🏼💓✨😌
Absolutely incredible interview. I loved hearing about Hozier's early influences and the level of respect that he has for music and the artists was palpable throughout, but especially in the compiling of those lists at the end. An absolute joy.
Such an insightful interview that captured Hozier's journey, from his own talent to his influences. Loved the top 5 (or, 7-8) at the end and the Red Rocks shoutout. A remarkable album and artist. Can't wait for the tour.
I think the bog daddy thing comes from the feeling a lot of us get from aspects of your music feeling connected to nature? Certain lines I think stick with us and lead to us feeling a connection to the land in a really visceral way.
He is just about the kindest most beautiful human I've ever heard of. The way he moves, sings, writes, interacts. A quiet brilliance like the stoic philosophers only he has been graced with an ability to give heart. His writing skills are unmatched for now. I love lyrics buth his has an interwoven knowledge of historical stories, myths, and unheard of books. The melodies or lilting, and sweet, fiery and strong, gut wrenching ...this man has all the tools. And the gift of magic is too. 🌿 ❤💐🪷🌻🪻❤🌿
Great little chat! That background framed cover though, what is that as a universal background hahaha. Super distracting & juxtaposed against Andrew's gentleness. Sorry for the tiny critique I just find it funny. ;) Fab interview; thanks! Lucky you to chat with the man for a bit; he's a real one.
One of the reasons the world embraces the pure magic hoziers lyrics, poetry and songs are is because of that exact reason they spoke of that many of us ate looking for the feeling now in our lives and hua music allows us to feel so much
Very polite of Hozier to not get aggravated with his interviewer. Andrew would explain something about his life (the fact he talked all about how in Ireland,his friends from school call him Hozier since 12 vs traveling and doing interviews he’s Andrew etc (34:37) etc). Then be asked, “I’m sure at home you’re Andrew an not Hoz..” 🤦🏾♀️(34:52). He did this so much I stopped watching right after. Love to listen to Hozier interviews but 😣.
Thank you Hozier for that lovely mention to Sinnead O'Connor.....Powers that be were at work💫 Lions gate portal on August 8 (8/8), the Sun, Sirius (the brightest star in the sky), Orion, and Earth completely align with each other and the Pyramids of Giza.⛰️ The Lion's Gate refers to a period of days before and after-from July 28 until August 12-when the power of Sirius is believed to be activated by the Sun. Leo and your inner child being the key astrology areas. Sinead passed over 26 July 2023 Sinead was sent to Rest in Power 8.8.23🌈... the strongest dates of portal energies release is between 8th and 12th🌬 Timing of the powers that be in her crossover is not surprising at all... Her last time here on earth in this lifetime was a massive syncronisitie for me🕠....awoken early hours with a ringing in my ears, being guided to look out to the sky I was astounded to see sirus🌟 and a pyramid ⛰️star cluster 🌠 side by side rising at 4.30am 8.8.23 ... I instinctively spoke out loud, farewelling Sinead. Now AEST 9.9.23, I learn she was set free in Bray, C. Wicklow, Eire (Ireland) on the 8.8.23 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UggSLRv11zc.html Dad and I have many precious memories on The Isle of Eire, especially C. Wicklow. Always in tune with you my beautiful Sinead 💚 Thank you for the FABULOUS music throughout lifes toughest moments, teaching me to speak from my heart and never let folk belittle me, be bloodline or not REAL GOLD ⭐️DOESNT FEEL THE HEAT OF THE HOTTEST FIRE ♨️ Our ancestral familys both stem from the O'CONNOR clan ...high kings of ancient Eire🇨🇮 FAREWELL SINEAD O'CONNOR🍀 💚U👩🦰 See you on the other side one day where we will dance , sing and party with the fae🧚♀️ #sineadoconnor #sinead #sinéadoconnor #sinéad #bray #brayhead #brayheadwalk #ireland #ireland🍀 #ireland🇮🇪 #fae #highking #oconnor #lionsgate #lionsgateportal #wicklow #pyramidsofgiza #sirus #sun #orion #leo #innerchild #innerchildhealing
I have a question… Why on the planet is talking about Sinead part of the title when it takes nearly an hour for her to come up in the conversation? That’s misleading. Although I do really respect and admire what Hozier said about her, about how powerful she was and how taken for granted. Maybe because she unabashedly pushed us way out of our comfort zones. He vindicated himself by putting her in his the top five however. (also impressed that Thin Lizzy made his list ) Honestly, I never really listened to this guy because I thought he was immediately over commercialized. I saw him on television one time and thought he was utterly full of himself, but he vindicated himself in this interview. You still shouldn’t have put Sinead in the title of the video, that was taking advantage of her legacy by using her as Clickbait. From someone from Ireland who views her as their hero, and was in the top 2% of listeners of her music last year. 🙏
Great interview, though not sure how much of a fan of Phil Lynott he is. Hozier doesn't pronounced Phil's surname correctly - the Irish way, and the way Phil did vs the English/US way.
@spacebar9733 well you should be more understanding then! I want to WATCH the podcast and all I said was the background is annoying. Who gives a fuck?!
