Anyone else think Hozier shines the most in simple, lo-fi recordings? I much prefer these live recordings to their studio counterparts.

[colbyjeannine]

This and "Cherry Wine" done with Mohagony Sessions are by far my favorite works of his. Hozier's voice is so uniquely powerful yet simplistic. I find his music so calming.

My wife and I had our first dance at our wedding to this song.

[kaesongriffin]

Me: I want this to play at my wedding.
Friend: You wont get married.
Me: I want this to play at my funeral.

[BlackthornBetty]

He's too rare and beautiful for this ugly world.

[meggoegoo]

I would live inside of this video if I could

[ruejspence]

This was the first song I sang to my baby daughter. She's heard a lot of Hozier in her 4 days being a person.

[katieprivate]

He has a otherworldly, evocative energy. There is something deeply pagan about him.

[emilyreyneri]

So poetic; Hozier's words are endlessly lyrical, they make me feel connected to his unfamiliar, yet recognizable experiences. They make my soul squeal with contentment

[braydenpeterson]

My interpretation of this song is that while the woman was feeling a moment of weakness, she goes to dig up the past that she has already buried. This past will hurt her if she digs it up. But while digging she finds him at his lowest point. He was dark and cold and dead in the dirt but and she was on her way to that point but they found each other and chose to not tell why they were in that dark place at the same time.

[MrDSeldon]

It's that kind of song that makes you feel good inside Bc you're thinking about the person you're falling for

[doloritasvega]

Hozier sometimes looks like the dreams I wish I had

[SamanthaMacariola]

Not sure what it is that makes him so dreamy, but I love it.

[audreinevers]

This song makes me want to be in love again.

[lakanbsilo]

the little humming parts were like some sort of ancient, otherworldly lullaby. that’s the only way i feel like i can explain it. you can feel his spirit smile and tuck a strand of your hair behind your ear. it’s so strange. i love it.

[JustletmebeME]

When you're trying to listen to a Hozier song, and the ad before the video you're trying to play is also Hozier but a different song. I feel blessed. I should buy a lottery ticket or something.

[Natron]

I am learning this on guitar to help a friend ask his girl to marry him

[brankatomic]

Definitely, I think, Irish people come from another planet, so much beauty in nature, people and music it^s not from earth.

[jessquinlan]

why is youtube just NOW recommending this to me? 6 years later??? rude

[younggods]

his live recordings are always what seem to calm me down. “cherry wine” is also one that has helped me to stay aware of my surroundings during panic and anxiety attacks. he sheds light to many people in just his voice.
