This is the perfect environment for him because, and I mean this in the best way possible, Hozier has always looked like that one strikingly attractive and well-groomed homeless guy you see on the subway
Forest father delving into the manmade caves beneath the thriving city to gift the weary travellers with his voice. A blessing. *Appreciate him dammit.*
it’s so weird for me to realize that hozier, this beautiful mythical mysterious forest mountain man, is also a millennial who sometimes tweets really weird and angsty shit.
This is my favorite song on the entire planet. I want this played at my wedding and my funeral. All these likes! I don't know what to do with myself! You humans are amazing!
I’m a tiny person, 5’ 1”, and as such have small hands, and seeing him easily hold that guitar and his fingers effortlessly curl into chords that to me require effort is the most frustrating thing I’ve ever seen and I’m so angry about it.
Have to mention the amazing girl playing violin behind Hozier whilst also singing along. Also, Hozier's voice somehow sounds way better live than in studio. Dude is a lyrical wizard
In New York people walk by as a woman was raped in the street and did nothing. They also walked by a dying man that was stabbed and he ended up laying there dying crying for help for hours. Thats how it is in NY.
@@andrewau2736 honestly man like either you just have lost all faith in humanity or are just brain dead and working to keep your high ass Bills in check
I just lost my son, was pregnant for 22 weeks, ik it’s about a woman but this is how I feel without him. I love him, he’s my baby. I’m broken without him. It’s been 19 days since I had him and each one gets harder then the first.

Boys workin' on empty Is that the kind'a way to face the burning heat? I just think about my baby I'm so full of love I could barely eat There's nothing sweeter than my baby I'd never want once from the cherry tree 'Cause my baby's sweet as can be She give me toothaches just from kissin' me When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her Boys when my baby found me I was three days on a drunken sin I woke with her walls around me Nothin' in her room but an empty crib And I was burnin' up a fever I didn't care much how long I lived But I swear I thought I dreamed her She never asked me once about the wrong I did When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her My baby never fret none About what my hands and my body done If the lord don't forgive me I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me When I was kissing on my baby And she put her love down soft and sweet In the lowland plot I was free Heaven and hell were words to me When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her
Beside the well known Take me to church, this exact song in this exact video was the one that brought Hozier to me and me to Hozier. And I am forever grateful of this fact.
So not only did I already love this song but it now has even more meaning to me. My grandfather passed a little over a week ago. The day before he passed I held his arm and hummed this song for him. I don't know if he could hear me but I couldn't bring myself to speak to him and the only way I could show him that I was with him was by humming. So I hummed a few songs for him. My grandparents were also married for 58 years and I think their kind of love is the kind represented in the song. I know he is in heaven right and now and I have no doubt that my grandmother will one day join him and they will be together for eternity. That's the love I hope to have. That is what this song is. Love for all eternity.
Internet Internet Can you tell me what do you mean, more specificly ? Like he sings about his fame, not love? But there can be also an interpretation of a lover and relationship: so strong that he is assured, death won't stop him from "crawling back"? What do you think?
I would absolutely have missed work if I went to the subway and hozier was down there singing. Who needs a job when you've been blessed by his angelic voice 😭😍
Hozier is an angel descended from the heavens to soothe our souls in these trying times. Every word holds magic, every note has a mystic hum woven into it.
This is one of those transcendent songs which could have been written in the 30s, 60s, or 2023. Just so pure, simple, stripped down, and yet utterly complete in every way. Nothing could be removed or added to make this better. Top 25 of the past 100 years.
His songs got me through high school, I found myself crying to this song among others when I didnt want to be alive, & Ill listen to them now while in quarantine :')

Been living in nyc 23 years. Taken the subway for 19 of those. Never once saw something like this. And people just walking by like he’s a street musician. Ww
