I think any other reaction would have been disingenuous. If there are coincidences this is one... I'm not sure there are coincidences. On and off trying to listen to music and news and all sorts of things and kept being distracted disrupted and back on going down a rabbit hole I was actually stop by singing this song which had a profound effect on the a long time ago. Did you hear what you said about your journey. I am still kind of overwhelmed right now because I've been on a journey feeling all alone. I have been on my own journey through many different churches and finally trying to step out and look from the outside and take a deeper look at what's real and what's not real. Not really sure what to say and I'm chattering away that I will be back and I will go back and hear more of what you have to say and what your journey is. The exactly what you said no matter what someone thinks or does that you don't agree with does not mean that you should not be kind that you cannot listen and try to understand. I spent many years basically being told to burn books and albums... I never did but it instilled in need a deep questioning. Is there something that I can't hear about or see about and understand that would be so impactful on my life and eternity there's something wrong with that kind of thought. You should be able to do anything and understand for ourselves. And no matter what be kind. I look forward to getting to know you better.

Hozier is one of my favorite artist. He writes music that provokes thought. His lyrics are rarely straightforward, loads of analogies and symbolism. I never saw this song as a condemnation of faith but more as a conversation and as I said to provoke a thought process. You should look more into Hozier's stuff, this is far from his best work even if it is the most well known song. All things end is a good recent song with a great video too. Or Eat your young, great song, I needed a few times to really get that video though.

@@TheWolffAndTheMelody What even is faith. Whos to say a 1000 years from now, we are worshipping Dumbledore and fearing Voldemort, as we would find scriptures and texts of their existence throughout the world. We have tons of fictional works on how the universe was created, or how we should treat each other. Why is the bible, out of all texts, the one that holds truth? Reading it, it is riddled with nonesense, fairytales. Why isn't this text compared to, or on the same level as any other fictional text? Who decided these fairytales had to be true? And why?

I've heard the song a bazillion times and never saw the video until now. Gives it totally different meaning from my original take on it. Wow! I'm speechless 😢 I have friends from so many different backgrounds, religions, races, nationalities, sexual orientation, etc..... Everyone needs to at the very least TRY to accept differences among us all and just TRY to get along. 💔

@Sunshineandhydrangeas Месяц назад

It just reminds us that when you class people as “Other” and frame them as being unacceptable in the eyes of your personal deity, that just makes it so much easier to commit atrocities against them. We are, as a society, being conditioned to fear and hate anyone who isn’t in our particular social group. We need to be super suspicious of and distance ourselves from anyone that tries to make us think that way.

Thank you for reviewing this song and video. This needs to be seen. When any ideology becomes distorted and extreme, hatred and violence is the likely outcome. The hatred and violence that I have witnessed and experienced personally and towards my LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters over the years have opened my eyes to what some humans are capable of. It resulted in my disillusionment, retreat/isolation and hypervigilence. I have to judge whether a person is actually safe or not before I engage with them at any personal level, but fortunately it isn't difficult.

I remember this came out around the time that there was a surge of anti-LGBTQ+ inquisitions, for a lack of a better term, in Russia (especially in the Chechen Republic), where groups would hunt down people on social media, raid their homes with weapons and video cameras, and film the beatings and post-torture confessions. Not even necessarily police, or government agents, just...people wielding their hatred so horribly. The song does largely align with the video in spirit (though there are certainly other viable interpretations), but they both made their own respective marks in pop culture at the time and cast a light on something important, in a way that was hard to stomach for a lot of people. I'm glad that long after its release, it's still earning fresh eyes like yours, especially in times like these recently with the surges in anti-LGBTQ+ hatred. Hozier's music is often quite political, but also rooted in empathy and with a finger on the pulse of the struggles people endure in their lives. It often doesn't cost anything to be kind, and even when it does, it's still worth it to bring a positive, loving energy into the world. We don't have to understand everything, we don't have to have an answer for every mystery we encounter in the world. The world is a less interesting place when only sameness is celebrated.

The video is tough, but shows only one signification of Hozier's words, according to him in interviews; that's also a song about love and I feel a lot of love in those lyrics. i think going more depth is having of course personnal interpretation or reading of it. The video, the music and the lyrics are moving, and put us in question in a very intimate area. Of course you're speechless, following what you've already entrusted us, at the discretion of your different reactions. We're here to share with you, therefore we can listen, and we can understand, words or silence. I'm grateful for living in a country where having no religion is main stream, more than one in two people have none. I know my country is not perfect, and I sometimes recriminate a lot about a lot of things I find wrong, and we are very far from harmony here, but that's one of the rare country in the world where I can live in peace without believing. That gives a different look on things too.

And by the way, I'm listening to an very oldie from Depeche Mode, and the chorus reminds me of this reaction "I don't want to start Any blasphemous rumors But I think that God's Got a sick sense of humor And when I die I expect to find Him laughing"

To be honest. I´m christian too but what the church and people made out of it is not in the right direction of what little I know from the bible. I wasnt raised to be a christian that goes to church and read the bible every day but to be a nice human beeing. I can`t imagine, if god made us all and gave us our free will and all, why would he be ubset with us if we have other thinking. I think we should apreciate being here and enjoy our time here. Everyone should be able to enjoy it. And if in the end god really said that we lived our life wrong then it has to be him to say it to us and not other humans. Jesus was kind to everybody and helped where help was needed, we should do the same.

@janeq1618 28 дней назад

Healing can be a painful process. Give yourself grace. Look at how far you've come - a lot of people in this world think, for some reason, that religion is required to know empathy. That if someone else or Someone Else isn't telling you what to do, you won't know to do right. Now you're living proof that they're wrong, that kindness IS a human trait. We can lift each other up.

I like this band,they have done good songs in the past. I appreciate where this song is coming from and for those who have been wrapped up in faith and have gotten past it i can see where this song could hit on a different level. For me personally, i just think it gives more air time to religions who already have to much air time. As a song it was good. As a message,i just wish we as people could move past religions all together.

I know the song very well and understood what it was about, but I'd never seen the video, which is hard to watch partly because of how it reflects reality. I am agnostic myself; I have no problem with people of faith, so long as that faith is driven by love and tolerance rather than tribalism. Also, I was a teen in the 70s when homophobia, racism, and sexism were deeply embedded in UK culture, and particularly humour. I made hurtful jokes even though I firmly believed that the people affected had every right to exist, love, and thrive, and I really regret it now. I made those jokes because that was just what you did. And I think that's why a lot of people do even worse things: because it's just the expected norm of the subculture they find themselves in. The horror is that it's nothing personal. It doesn't matter if you are doing these things in the name of God, or Decency, or The People, it's still not OK. The Bible got it right when it said "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" - go with that sentiment rather than "thou shalt not suffer a [insert targeted person] to live".

I haven't even begun the reaction yet, but wanted to stop and comment on your opening remarks. I'm turning 60 in a couple of months and had been a Christian all my life. I no longer believe in any of that. I feel almost like someone who has stepped out from under ground for the first time. It's a little strange and now I have a tiny idea what my LGB friends may have felt not wanting to "come out". My children know but I can never talk about this with my mother who is super religious. It would crush her. In any case I think I understand how you feel.
