Hozier - Take Me To Church - Acoustic [ Live in Paris ] 

when he sings the high note in "deathless" love love love

I prefer acoustic versions of song cause how raw and beautiful it sounds. I love it!

Absolutely adore how his tone turns so dark and silky when he says 'she's the giggle at a funeral'

This song can be stripped to its core and still stand as strong.

Lyrics: 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'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 Aaay. 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 [2x] 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? 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 my deathless death Good God, let me give you my life [2x] 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 [2x] *you're welcome*

You know its a good singer when, the acoustic vocals is better then the original.

Can we talk about the intro where he speaks french? I just melted like an ice-cream

I was born sick, but I love it. Command me to be well Amen.

Yes, this is a beautiful piece, but can we just take a moment to acknowledge how gigantic his feet are.

he should redo this but in a cathedral like the bastille and passenger ones. That would be good to hear.

His voice is LIQUID GOLD 💖

His voice makes me melt, damn.

this deserves better sound quality

this deserves more views

The first minute of the song is so beautiful and dark I love it

I truly don't think I'll ever tire of hearing this song 😩 😍 ❤️

hozier has something that not many people can replicate, it is something integral to this song. it's a powerful voice to control the emotion of the song. i listened to other people singing this song but they sounded off because they can't convey emotion with their voice.

Simple rule: If a song still sounds great when stripped down to the bare, it's a good fucking song. This is a good fucking song.

I am addicted to this song!!!!

I wish the acoustics of the room were better... because he's incredible

Ugh give this man a real church and a choir and an organ GODDANGIT

It's my first time listening to his acoustic version songs and I'm so impressed of how good he is ❤

the lyrics to this song should win every award forever! sublime and true, no matter what context.

His voice makes me feel like I’m floating. Every time his voice goes high, I lift up and drop back down. Always an amazing ride.

“I was born sick , but I love it” my favorite sentence . 🙏🏻

There goes my ovaries.

Perfection. Who still watch this in 2019?

I just found this channel and have listened to about 8 of them of these. They all have something in common... 0 fucking auto tune, you wouldn't see Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj or Taylor Swift doing one of these because they can't fucking sing. It's sad that these so called artist's are so revered by society today when they don't do anything.

Listening from 2019! STILL LOVE IT!

When I first heard this song, I knew it was a thunderbolt that would change the musical world. So powerful and poetic, passionate yet almost scriptural. Thank you Andrew for being. May your Megastardom take you far, but always bring you home. Stay humble and kind. #IrishPride

Whenever I hear him singing I've got goosebumps all over my body.

He surely knows what he is asking. Amen!

Merci pour cette vidéo. Une très belle version acoustique qui fait ressortir toute la puissance et la beauté de la voix d'Hozier. Je suis sous le charme depuis déjà plusieurs mois... Toutes ses chansons sont magnifiques et Hozier mériterait d'avoir un peu plus de visibilité en France.

He's much more talented than people believe. He's god gifted. I'm happy he exists.

I love how over the years he still sounds better live than recorded. (Saw him live last month in NY!) And that’s saying a lot considering the recorded versions are god tier. This man is not mortal.

agree that these lyrics are a perfect express of the world as a whole for then, for now, and forever.

Listen hozier is like a heaven touch. Danmgod i love this man

I’ve known this song since it came out years ago, and now it’s getting a resurge because of a movie. This is the first time I searched an acoustic version, it’s beautiful!

I thought the original video was the best version, but everything he does after it is even better. He only gets better.

His voice is so contagious ❤

Literally PERFECT!

Just a man and his guitar 🤤 way more talent than anyone in the charts

One of the great gifts God has given us. This man uses his throat power to create a more understanding universe. Internally and externally I hope to be able to do the same.

Hozier est juste parfait 😍

This is the most beautiful song I have heard in a long time. 💕

This guy is bloody brilliant! I'm in love with his music!

Not only his voice is giving me goosebumps, even his look is.

I really love this song since the beginning. Now I'm here again, acoustic ver, because of Skam Druck Series.

Obsessed with this! Amazing job! Such a unique outlook. Good job!

I love this song

I absolutely love his voice just about any way I hear it. Unless you physically distort it, it's just amazing

OMG when he sings "sad earthly scene" it's amazing

His voice 😍😍

one of the best written songs ive ever heard

Love Love... Perfection 2021

This guy is beautiful,he is full of talent on loan from God And I Hope he continues to use it for good and share his exceptional talents with us....his voice and lyrics are too rare in our world... As a sideline observation,....Man he has a couple of Boats for feet ! ;)

Absolutely awesome! Raw and powerful.

What a huge soul... that's y God made him sooooo big ..that's a lot to carry!

No doubt his voice is incredible... But can we take a minute to appreciate the sound of that guitar

Pure ART ....................

I love every word of the lyrics of this song ❤ Bravo Hozier !!! 🤩

I am learning this on my acoustic guitar. One of my favourite songs of all time. Saw Hozier in San Francisco 5 years ago at small venue - was epic!!

I looove his voice 🥺❤️

That’s how the song started, just him and his guitar. I love it

You start to love a song when you hear the acoustic version of it.

Hozier is perfection, I love him

I am OBSESSED

I love him so much like how someone can be this perfect?

EVERY SONG on the LP is amazing. This is a rare occurrence. I want more...

When you meet the one who understands this as you do Don't let them go. 💫

NO MATTER what genres new music new songs new artists i obsess over.. There is only One Hozier Like there is only One William.

*LYRICS* [Verse 1] My lover's got humor She's the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody's disapproval I should've worshipped 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 [Pre-Chorus] Aaa, Amen, Amen, Amen [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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? We've a lot of starving faithful That looks tasty That looks plenty This is hungry work [Chorus] Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Offer me my 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 so you can sharpen your knife Offer me my deathless death Good God, let me give you my life [Bridge] 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 [Pre-Chorus] Oh, oh Amen, Amen, Amen [Chorus] 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

his coice is breathtaking! i feel my heart beat faster, but my soul is calming down. thanks! this is why i Love music!

So beautiful 🖤

That voice....

His voice is heaven 🖤

This guy is EVERYTHING.

Beautiful control of his voice.

One word: PERFECTION

you're an angel hozier!!! Love u so mucccch

this song makes me remember when I was at church, but I knew I'm gay since then, and I tried with all my strength fight against this desire. I finally realized I was wasting my life going to church and denying who I really am. Today I'm living my life being myself. And I wanna cry when I see a young person going to church. I know I have so many gay friends at church :'(

He was made to do this I’m happy he is doing music his voice is beyond moving

For me this is a perfect singer, a perfect song, doesn't matter who you are, where you are, what you are. In 2022, still in Covid 19, and other bullshit thime around all over the World. Just please keep on singing!

Perfection.

Let me give my life man 💜💙
