Oh my god, that is so true. I dedicated a song to a lover and I am over him and everything but I cannot listen to that song without feeling too much of what I don't want to feel :(
What is wrong by finding Hozier through "Take me to Church"? You have to find an artist one way or another. Whether its his most heard song or his least. Either way, if you like the artist, thats all that matters.
Thanks Michael for speaking my mind and am pretty sure of many others! I never heard of the artist til I heard the song through a movie trailer. I can't tell you how many times I have discovered some of the best music and artists from around the world through movies. That kind of comment is in my opinion is... ignorant.
I found him from "Take me to Church" and ended up loving and listening to all of his songs and have been for years. People that bash people for music are so stupid and how you find an artist is irrelavant. Just listen to the music and carry on
This song totally describes my relationship with my fiance. We were friends for four years, then when i was laying in an intensive care unit, after nearly dying in a car accident, angry that i had even survived, he told me his true feelings for me. He said that the thought of losing me scared him, and he never wanted to be without me. My anger at being alive instantly dissolved and I now look forward to our future together 😙
"If the lord don't forgive me, I'd still have my babe and babe would have me" There's something so powerful about understanding that a flawed person can forgive you for almost anything but your God might not. It's somehow a little comforting.
+jacquelyn anderson Not quite, if you are truly remorseful for what you have done, God will always forgive you, whereas a flawed man may not. Never, ever look at God as the bad guy!
Liz, I think you missed a few steps. Our God will forgive you if you're sorry because you trespassed against him and if you are trying to live exactly like him. Excuse me for believing that that is a bit of a vain God. On the other hand, sometimes being human is about learning to forgive people who never even asked for your forgiveness.
I love the little detail that in the line when he says there’s nothing sweeter than his baby he says “I’d never want once from the cherry tree”. It reminds me of his other song “Cherry Wine” and draws a contrast between the toxic relationship in that song and the healthy relationship in this one.
Makes me think of a man falling in love while being on his deathbed. His last few weeks spent with a woman he falls in love with. He knows she'll have to bury him. But he'll love her beyond his death
It amazes me how much profound and innovative music is out there just, like this, waiting to be discovered. Yet the same (often crap songs) are played repeatedly on the radio. This song is amazing!! You want quality, stray away from the mainstream!
Okay, I think that bastille needs to cover this... And Hozier and them need to do some sort of collab, the amount of pure talent in that room would be overwhelming
I have come to realize even though I am new to his voice, I'll always love it now. I cannot get enough of this pure, romantical sound that radiates from his soul.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Hands down, the most life-completing song. Just seems to always bring me comfort in life's harshest situations.
I was in love and lived with an addict... this song sums up the emotions, trials, and love I and he felt. This song reminds me of all of that. I finally got the courage to leave and move out. It is still the hardest thing I have ever been through. He recently reached one year of sobriety... he got help after I moved out. I know I made the right decision. The type of love described in this song is rare... but damn, it is amazing and life changing.
When he sing its like a angle and he sing like he has had experience with the type of songs he sing lord praise him and let him keep delivering the music that he do😇😇💘💝
The Perks of Being Sveva Lol,I suppose its a manner of opinion. A few ppl I know think his music is pretty crappy. But that's just there opinion as well. I dont mind his music & many others:) It just depends on what you like,I think:)
This reminds me of my grandfather and the love he had for my grandma. I belive that love and friendship can last longer than one life time. Not even death can part such love. Rip Opa
I remember a while back I would tell my friends about Hozier and how amazing he was . They had no idea who he was fast forward to now they are "in love " with him . 😂 His music makes me feel so peaceful and happy.
This song makes me feel so happy...I could be in the crappiest mood and I swear I hear his voice and it all melts away 🖤💋 thank you for sharing your beautiful gift 😘
This song is the one that has the strongest hold on me. My ex used to whisper sing this song to me before I would nod off. More often than not I’d ask her to sing this specific song and skip all the others. Those moments was when I’d feel the most comfort and protected and loved above all, in my life. I could just sink away into nothingness listening to her whisper those sweet words to me. Now I can only manage to listen a few seconds in before Hozier actually starts singing. I didn’t know it was possible to feel this amount of despair and pain because of a song. I come back to this song every now and then with the hope that I might give me the overwhelming comfort it once did, but it’ll never be the same. It’s not her voice, it’s not calming. It’s hell. It will always be beyond me how someone who whispered “no grave can hold my body down, I crawl home to her...” in my ear, can one day decide to leave forever.
this song is literally the song you can put on your headphones and lay back on the beach and close your eyes and find peace. I've never ever found a song like that
I chickened out on singing this song for our schools auditions, but watching everyone perform was so moving, and _this_ is my promise to submit my audition next year Guys, please hold me to it, i need so much validation rn🙏🙏💀
GO DO ITTTT literally who’s gonna expect this song? i mean maybe SOMEONE might, but there are so many people who love hozier out there for the music he makes and his moving lyricism, with such beautiful yet mature values; to hear you sing something like this would be a treat!!!! go you!!!
When I watched the original video the words were so perfect reminds me of a twin love, mirroring each other in the dance of life/love. There’s no one else in the room but them, even though the room is full. The words are unconditional and healing, they crawl back to each other…and yes I too would like to take a bath in Hoziers voice☺️
I can't even begin to replace one single word, nor note in this absolutely perfect arrangement of truth. I am speechless by how hauntingly the words send a message from a place in my heart that I hold only one soul.. I wish for every individual person who is gifted a life in this world to feel the way I do, and obviously these cats do, from time shared with the one that can bring you to the place where such overwhelming love is grown
this reminds me of my grandma who passed away yesterday at 7:00 am I was on my way to see her when I got the call. when I was younger we would argue.then when my parents divorced she was like a mother to me .i instantly regretted everything i did.when I got there my aunt said she told her to go be with pa and she went home. rest easy ma
Thank God for dance, we were stretching to this song doing our warm up and she played this song I was like damn this a good song and u went home looked it up and fell in love😍💜great song!! Relatable🔥💯
I interpret the line “nothing in her room but an empty crib” as he got the woman in question pregnant, or at least wants to have a family with her, and this was the catalyst for him turning his life around.
The Refrain... kills me again and again!!! 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!!! DEACON is THE PERFECT Charakter since gaming...He is a real Hero and is doin always the right ....so much lost souls can learn on a PS4 Game what is respect, what endless and real Love means!!! Hes a strong man, ready to do all what it needs to find Sarah ...all what you do, what you think, shes a part of it and all is for her!!! Sorry for my english but im from Germany and my last english lesseons was.........in the year 1999 ;-) The Badass german Man haha
