i am completely normal about Hozier. i definitely don’t visit this video once a week just to replay that first line he sings over and over again…

this entire performance with ever instrument and voice is pure gold.

[starlesssankt]

Can you believe that in 2012 nobody knew that 11 years later that one student would become one of the most influent singer of his time

[natanvandoorn]

Just listened to this with my dad, he introduced me to Pink Floyd, I introduced him to Hozier. A magic-producing combination✨️

[paulmills]

I am an old timer who doesn't like my Floyd covered, because it is usually done poorly. This is absolute brilliance, I am in awe.
Must be something about the water there, so much talent in one country.

[Rashomon]

I can't believe "Dark Side of the Moon" was released over 40 years ago. Pink Floyd is timeless. Their music never gets old.

This song use to terrify me as a child 😂 not gonna lie.. the beginning of time is pretty damn creepy when you’re 5 yrs old and you wake up in the middle of the night hearing this song in a dark house lol My parents would let the radio play rock music all night long. Looking back, I’m thankful they did that and I adore Pink Floyd. This is a badass cover and Hoziers voice is perfect with the orchestra. Such a Beautiful cover

[soapissue]

The dude played the initial drum solo note for note. This is fantastic

[jmrshh]

Honestly I love Hozier's vocals in this! A lot of people are hating on it, but even though it is different than the original, it's still very very good imo.

[Kitch-hutm]

Any language, any instrument, any arrangement. Pink Floyd soars in the world of music. It's TIMELESS

[hozier]

out of curiosity, what's your idea of music?

[c.exe.l]

so...we all agree that 2:17 is THE moment right?

[vitoriabdw]

I don’t think anyone is capable of understanding how deeply I’m obsessed with this performance. Day and night I think about this very specific video. I love you Andrew

[SpaceFlye]

The best Dark Side of the Moon cover I've ever heard hands down.

[ArtfulShelley]

Seriously, Hozier has the power the song needs. Fabulous. Orchestra was awesome!

[miporsche]

Amazing to see an electric guitar fitting in as the lead instrument in a symphony orchestra. Amazing to hear fantasitic progressive rock being played. Amazing!

[manda..]

2:45 when he felt the girls' angel harmony, with his hand on his heart 🙏🏼😢. Nice to see people appreciate/honor music 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Arguably Pink Floyd’s best album and in my opinion they’ve never topped this. There’ll be a lot that will disagree, but it is my opinion only. I was a teenager when this came out and now in my late 60’s I understand now how “10 years got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun” is so true. My kids are in their 30’s and my eldest granddaughter is almost at the age I was when this was released. Time slips away so quickly. Cherish every second people. This is a great cover and I feel very blessed to have come across it. It also makes me laugh with the track “Money” on side 2 always beeped out “bullshit” in the 70’s on radio stations. I think it was the 90’s before the radio stations stopped doing that.

Just a bunch of students, just students, though immensely talented. Did anyone, in their midst think, "Oh my, there's a super star amongst us?"

[racoon_in_ankhmorpork]

The greatness of Pink Floyd perpetuated by this group of people, all bound together by a love for music; seeing Hozier so young, giving a great performance long before he was as famous as he is now… it’s all quite moving. Engaging with art in this way is just so terribly human.

[beccabee]

Jesus Christ, this is amazing. Never thought it possible for anyone to do such a spectacular cover of a Pink Floyd song. Wow!
