It's rare that a live performance is better than the studio version but this is definitely one of those instancs

[JulianIgot]

His songs hit differently especially if you're at the point in your life where everything feels numb. It's like a gentle whisper and feels like a spiritual hug. Thank you for working ears and good music.

[LiberTBo]

A metaphor for mortality, existence, and love all wrapped into one beautiful and challenging spiritual song, that possibly only an Irishman born of immortal suffering might offer up on the alter of "modern music" and for all eternity to be so humble as to suggest that no matter what, love is the one immortal common nature we dare to share in the face of forever existent judgment....

[Seirce]

this song goes straight down the spine to resonate in the stomach

[fretyourprozac]

This is the best version of this song I've heard. You can see the emotion on his face and hear it in his voice. I'm officially obsessed with this man.

[WendyMisener]

I'm so nuts for this song.  I put it on rotate and sing along while I'm cooking... get goosebumps every time~  Life doesn't get much better than these moments where music fills your head and soul and good food is happening.

Gods he looks like he’s holding back tears. breath taking

[juleswood]

did anyone else notice the little high note at 3;13 ?? what a wondrous subtle note change. love him to death

[crazygirl]

Boys workin on empty
Is that the kinda 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 never want once from the cherry tree
Cause my baby's sweet as can be
She give me toothaches just from kissin me

[Chorus:]
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

That's 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

[Chorus 2x]

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

[Chorus 2x]

[breannatyler]

Okay so I don't know if you guys get this feeling when a song or voice is so good it's just this feeling in your stomach and you're just like "God damn that's real" I don't know I could cry and smile and cry again because of his music and the vocals and his background music and his voice in general and yeah this performance is my favorite I don't know there was a lot of emotion in the way he sung this song. His hands were shaking a lot and his facial expressions were different which was perfectly fine and his voice was absolutely brilliant and just magnificently beautiful.

[MitchPhillips]

Damn the lyrics of that chorus are beautiful!

[kakki]

it's been almost a decade and this song still hits me within my soul

[romialuvsD]

the beauty this man carries brings tears to my eyes he is so soulful and he just oozes pure and raw talented there are SO many musicians that get major attention for singing about ass, hoes, money, strippers, and other pointless things and then there are the very few artist like Hozier here who aren't super mainstream but have actual talent and deserve just as much scratch that more recognition than others aside from him having the gifted voice he has his songs are so powerful and filled with so much passion and MEANING i just cant get enough of him found him a year and a half ago and my love for Andrew is still going strong probably stronger than it was i the beginning  

[marvinwooley]

Very few songs stay with you in a way that it can move your soul each time you hear it. Hozier already has a number of them to his credit. His lyrics are genius and his voice soulful. He has been blessed by the gods and I am truly in awe!

[MsJenny]

I love how there are no hate comments because nobody can find a single flaw 

[kmarc]

wow this guy is like a precious butterfly, his voice is exquisite and full of meaning

[doloritasvega]

Okay, I freaking scrolled past all of the comments to see if anyone noticed... Everyone's saying "OMG it's so real, I'm crying", but tell me y'all noticed how he actually almost freakin' cried...

[robertthomas]

this man is going to be a huge star enjoy him while you can

[naomibrown]

Even after the thousandth time watching, I still get chills. There are few songs this beautiful.
