Hozier - Take Me To Church 

I go to a catholic school and in religion we had to pick a song that had a deep meaning (other then love songs) one of the girls picked this song and you should’ve seen how triggered the teacher got

Me : *asks what she’s listening to* My mom : christian rock music Me : *ok mom*

2024 anyone??

"there is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin" bro... 😭 this song will always have a special place in my heart.

It’s literally so sad that people get killed for race, religion, sexuality and more, they aren’t hurting you so why do you hate them? Edit: ain’t no way y’all fighting over this…

Religious moms: Sing this song because it has amen in it Their lgbtq+ children: (:O)

*”We we’re born sick, You heard them say it”* NO ONE should have to hear that for being themselves. I’m a Christian and I DON’T CARE if I get hate for this comment. People should be able to be themselves WITHOUT HATE. In the Bible it says to love others around you, so why’s are people getting hate for being themselves?!

My lover's got humour She's the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody's disapproval They 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 A-a-a-a-a-a-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 Oh 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 Oh 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? 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 so you can sharpen your knife Offer me my deathless death Oh 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 Oh 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 Oh, oh, 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 Oh 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 Oh good God, let me give you my life

Ok but no one is talking about his lover getting killed in the end, that really broke my heart into pieces.

Title : Take Me To Church Singer : Irish Meaning : about lgbt Comments : English Subtitle : Japanese

I was a gay kid, growing up in a small country, small village, and I know how hard it is. Now I'm an adult, but still, this song cut deep. Every time I see this video, I cry. This song is definitely one of the masterpieces. I adore this song, even though it gives me chills and brings me back to those old times when this was "normal." All rights need to be respected. Be HUMAN, have HUMANITY, DON'T JUDGE. YOU CAN BE IN THE SAME SHOES LIKE THEM.

HAPPY 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY THIS SONG WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN 😭🫶🏻

This song is 5 years old and I've never seen the video. wow

Reminder that this shit STILL happens. people are still murdered for their sexual orientation, so videos like this are still just as important. Be safe, but be proud everyone

The power this song holds, even after all these years.

Я один пришел посмотреть за что оштафовыли девушку из Славянска-на-Кубани?

my homophobic church: plays this song me at the time being a closeted trans gay man:👁👄👁 who gon’ tell em-? (edit: holy shit, thx for the likes💕)

I see humans but not humanity...

I always use to sing the lyrics "take me to church I'll worship like a dog in the Saturday live."😭😭😭

Tengo una gran pesar, me siento fatal, pero simplemente existo a pesar del dolor qué hay en mi, está canción no me va a quitar el malestar, pero sin duda me ayuda a sobrellevarlo, la música para mi es un compañero, alguien que está conmigo y me ayuda a sentirme reconfortado, esta canción me cautivo desde que la escuche, y la verdad me sigue encantado, la letra, la voz… me ayuda a sentirme tranquilo. Y el mensaje me hace conectar.

so did everyone just remember this song or what?

I'm straight man... But honestly, wken they kiss at that exact time In the song with that triumphant, fuck everything we're in love moment it was just beautiful

10 years later and i still get goosebumps at this song and this video still makes me sob. Thank you for your work ❤

This song is almost 10yrs old , but I found this masterpiece in 2024. Only 1 time I heard this song and it took a place in my heart❤

"we were born sick, heard them sayin' " Like exactly thats the part where y'all can get its about homosexuality

Fun fact: when I was younger, I wondered why they didn’t play this on Sunday with the other Christian songs. My bad-

Знаешь, Hozier, это всё стало еще более актуально, чем 10 лет назад...

Wow it's my first time watching the music video (though I've heard the song before) but I was in awe and was grabbing on my seat due to intense music video. Great job!! Let's aim for 1 billion views!!

2014: this song is about going to church 2019: oh? 2020: * actually watches the video * OH!

I just now realized that when he’s saying “amen”, it sounds like he’s saying “gay men”, I know he isn’t but I can’t get it out of my head now

Anyone in 2024 ?

A song made about something specific but with lyrics that can apply to nearly any struggle, amazing writing

Let’s repeat all togheter: THIS SONG IS NOT A RELIGIOUS SONG.

I love how christians are fighting for this to not be a gay song and to be a christian song while in the chorus it littlearly says how the church is stabbing ur back and its a shrine of lies.

Amo esta canción tanto su adaptación en español como la de inglés (I love this song both its adaptation to Spanish and the English one)

Los amo, los vi por fin en el FEP en Bogotá, Colombia, que bendición escucharlos en directo ❤

9 years old me: * likes this Song * 16 years old me: * understand the Song *

Hozier calls for cab. Cab arrives, the driver recognises him... Hozier:”Eh...i would you like to..” Driver:*excited*”Take you to church?”

If you like this comment, i'll listen it again

People watching this in 2024 👇

I cant be the only one that didn’t know that this song was about gay people Cmon Edit: must of y’all acting like im hating gays. Dude, im bi😂

I had a family member be killed for being gay. I never met him but it breaks my heart

"The only heaven I'll be sent to is when I'm alone with you" wow

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? 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 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 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 Oh, oh, 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

English Subtitles: No Subtitles in Japanese: _Yes_ *Stonks*

I don't understand people that say "you defending gays' rights, you must be a gay!"... If I defend animals' rights, it means that I'm a cat? :D

До чего же сильная песня

第一次聽到這歌時，旋律如此震撼，而歌詞卻是挑戰神的意志，幹，好亂，高雄人晚餐吃什麼好？

brain : We're sad today me : why... brain : I SAID WE SAD TODAY

música de ouvir mais de 80 vezes, dormir, acordar e continuar ouvindo!!!

Who's watching it on April 2024?😅

I remember they played this song on the way home in the bus from christian girls camp and all the girls & leaders were singing along LMFAOOOO

Ok the fact that people think this sing is about worshipping god o and Jesus is wrong it’s about. A gay dude getting harassed by a church and his boyfriend / husband was trying to find him after he got kidnapped

Makes me so proud to be irish listening to hoziers voice what a truly talented musician he is i remember when this song came out was played everywhere

Me when I was little: "Why do my parents listen to this song? We're atheists...." Me now: *"👁👄👁 Oh."*

Everyone wonders whats in the box...its his secret that no one knows so he has hidden it (him being gay) then when they come to him to find out his secret but they find it and start beating open the box like they are beating him, the box is him they want to open it to tell everyone to let his secret out. Thats what I get out of it.

2024 anyone??!

10 years and it never gets old 😢

the first time that i listened to this, instead of singing ‘amen’ i would sing ‘gay men’ edit: i would sing this not because i wanted to, but because i thought that was what the song said and since the video matched, i never questioned it.

Nobody: Subtitle: japanese

Hoizer makes lyrics become art, absolutely beautiful 😍

10 years since this banger was released 🎉

I find it ironic how you people argue with each other on a video of a song that promotes peace. I am agnostic, and support gay rights. Should God be real, and being gay is a sin, then that is for THAT GOD to decide, not you. I was once a Christian and I distinctly remember being told not to judge people, and to respect my peers. Grow up. This video promotes nothing but peace. It promotes the acceptance of all people in this world, regardless of their religion, sexual orientation, or even views on either of the two. Learn some respect when you talk to people.

Kids at my Christian school are singing this constantly and I am just trying not to laugh since they don’t know what it actually means. (Edit: spelling) (Edit 2= I am going to clarify this. I AM CHRISTIAN! I Know that that doesn’t mean you’re homophobic! )

Love is love. I don't care who are what you are. Love is always going greater than hate.

Teacher: "Who taught you about homosexuality?" Me: "Hozier"

Even after a decade it remains unsurpassed 🔥

10 years today, wow how time flies.

"We were born sick, you heard them say it" if this doesn't give a truer meaning of this song then idk what else will.

Nobody: My child ass singing this song 6 yrs. ago not knowing the meaning: (-0-)

I think beside the “take me to church” lines <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="154">2:34</a> is the best line like I love the way it sounds 😂.

Esta canção é um grito de socorro😢

i already have seen 4 peaple comment ”Let’s see how many people listening to this masterpiece in February.” stop. why do you do this.

2014: Try not to sing 2021: Try not to cry

Happy 10 aniversary of this song i love it (2014-2024)🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

These beautiful times will never return😢😢

It makes me disgusted to see people being killed for being themselves.Religion is fine,as long as it means you aren't trying to make people feel bad for who they are

Who remembers when this song came out?

wow 10 years later and it still a banger

bro i’m not gay but this lyrics made me feel something i can’t really explain

Anyone else confused how people thought this was a religious song? He literally says "worship in the bedroom" and "shrine of your lies."

Rip to those who thought this was a religious song 😭

I know this song isn’t Christian but Hozier kinda looks like Jesus.

Don't ask who's here. We never left.

gracias a esta rola, por fin pude dormir tranquilo...

Me: thinking it is about Jesus 2 minutes later: Me: ohhhhhhhhh.......

Christians thinking this is a christian song: amen 😭😭🙌🙌🙏🙏 The gays: GIRL I-

Мы выросли и теперь эта песня вызывает чувство ностальгии

This song officially turned 10 years old as i am saying this

Me watching my homophobic classmates sing this song thinking it's about religion while sipping my tea : (•‿•) (Edit: holy shit thanks for the likes bros.)

everyone talking about: this song isn’t religious it’s about being gay me: just vibin cuz this song slaps

This song is my favourite song because of the vocals

2025 anyone?

why did i think reading the comments would be fun?

I had no idea tbis songs as old as it is. Thought only a few yrs. Such a good song

Ouvi essa música pela primeira vez no Lolla (23/03/2024) e agora estou completamente viciada em ouvir ela... Que letra triste, que música triste, que MV triste....

Religion is about love guys, not hatred. Your religion does NOT justify these actions. You people who think you can murder innocent people are absolutely SICK.
