Take Me to Church Hozier LETRAS My lover's got humour She's the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody's disapproval I should've worshipped her sooner If the Heavens ever did speak She is the last true mouthpiece Every Sunday's getting more bleak A fresh poison each week 'We were born sick, ' you heard them say it My church offers no absolutes She tells me 'worship in the bedroom' The only heaven I'll be sent to Is when I'm alone with you I was born sick, but I love it Command me to be well Amen, Amen, Amen Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life If I'm a pagan of the good times My lover's the sunlight To keep the Goddess on my side She demands a sacrifice To drain the whole sea Get something shiny Something meaty for the main course That's a fine looking high horse What you got in the stable? We've a lot of starving faithful That looks tasty That looks plenty This is hungry work Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life No masters or kings when the ritual begins There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene Only then I am human Only then I am clean Amen, Amen, Amen Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life
Nagato Uzamaki um, i don't think there are x and y symbols for males and females. there are symbols, yes, but they aren't x and y. x and y refer to chromosomes in the discussion of sex.
I don't understand how I haven't gotten tired of his voice or even this song! Every time I listen to this there is always one more thing that makes this song so magnificently beautiful. Plus I love this cover of him singing it!
@@tanmay3745 Have u seen Ed Sheeran's cover? If I'm not mistaking, he sings in the original key. Maybe the theory in the comment above yours is right and Hozier didn't record it that high
@@MateusOliveira-hr1wp Sheeran's voice is also naturally higher than Hozier's. I'm pretty sure Ed's a tenor, while Hozier's a baritone if I'm not mistaken. Most album recordings are made in an environment where artists are recording one song or so a day, allowing them to push their upper ranges without having to worry very much. Also, studios will often tune up an artist's voice in post. In almost every live recording I've seen, Hozier sings the songs at least a halftone to a full tone lower than the album recording. Pretty sure it's so he can save his voice while touring. It's also probably his natural vocal range more so than what's on the album.
@@tanmay3745 that 'offer me that deathless death' line is so complex. 2:12 the trick is to soften the first low notes and FLOW through the notes. If you practice like this, your melody may sound a bit off the first few times, but keeping practicing. If your throat hurts, that's not right. Relax.

Diamond Arlert oh yeah, me too. I didn't know he was coming to my area and when I found out it was sold out. Original price was 37 dollars or something and I was like how did I miss that. So I waited and resale tickets came available...... I ended up paying $140 for one ticket. But hey he is worth every cent! ☺
@@echo9236 Technically, that is true, but that's not what I mean. What I mean is, I wish the song went on for longer, like more lyrics and all.. you get me?
This song is so deep yet people are saying its so not cool cause of the homosexuality. Please stop and hear the lyrics! This song semds shivers up my spine. Beautiful song and oh what a handsome man!
I thinkthe song isn't just about homossexuality, I have a theory that this song like "Work Song" are about death, like, his "muse" is a personification of death or something like jdgshagdad
Zachary Hale Comstock It's about how the Catholic church condemns homosexuality. "I'll tell you my sin so you can sharpen your knife", "no innocence like our gentle sin". It all makes sense once you listen closely
This is the best version in my eyes. You can really hear his voice here. It’s so clean and beautiful. I LOVE that he can’t reach that high note (deathless) and his voice cracks. It’s so vulnerable and frágil. It’s so real. Just him and his guitar. It touches your heart and makes you cry.
This ain’t even my style of music, but good music is good music. This is why people first pick up an instrument and hold it in their hands. It’s a masterpiece.
In my teens I followed Dylan ,The Stones, Bowie ,Dire Straights etc., etc. There have great artists from then till now, however I didn't think I would see a singer/ songwriter of this calibre in the 21st century. Hozier is the real deal, a truly remarkable talent.
This somehow resonates so much with the pain I felt through the years I was struggling to believe in god and hold onto a faith that was crumbly since I was about 9. Accepting myself as an atheist in my early 20's was both, a very painful arrival and also, a relief.
For when you wanna sing along with them here ya go My lover's got humor She's the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody's disapproval I should've worshiped her sooner If the Heavens ever did speak She's the last true mouthpiece Every Sunday's getting more bleak A fresh poison each week "We were born sick", you heard them say it My church offers no absolutes She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom" The only Heaven I'll be sent to Is when I'm alone with you I was born sick, but I love it Command me to be well A-, Amen, Amen, Amen Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life If I'm a pagan of the good times My lover's the sunlight To keep the Goddess on my side She demands a sacrifice Drain the whole sea Get something shiny Something meaty for the main course That's a fine looking high horse What you got in the stable?

Wow, 2022 and it’s my first time listening to this version. He’s just amazing and I still love this song and the lyrics. He’s just brilliant and so so talented.
You can feel that every sentece, every word, every letter means a lot to him. You can feel his anger and grief. He brings it to you with such emotion that I can’t be pleased. Well done, sir.
I've now watched this version daily, sometimes 3 or 4 times in a row. I've never allowed myself to listen to a great song too much, for fear of burning out. I know however, with Hozier, I never grow tired or burned out. I think my heart grows with each time. I don't know if it is possible to love an artist more than I love Hozier. He is my heart, and has been like a dose of good medicine daily. Seems I can't stop myself from shutting out everything and I go into a Hozier trance !!!. He is a master! 🤟❤😍👏
He is a true talent. When you look at people and realize that they truly found what they were created for...where the universe just speaks through them...Hozier could be nothing else then this...he has some amazing unplugged videos all over RU-vid, and really he is just a good soul.
