Whiskey wishes it could be this smooth.

Hozier got TWO covers?! Respect to the both of you!

[@beemjay385]

who did the other cover?

[@LeahLovesNature]

@@beemjay385 I think this user is either referring to Colm's Gaelic cover of Hozier's "Take Me to Church" or the fact that Annapantsu also covered "Too Sweet" recently on her channel.

[@Callisto_Stardust_Fairy]

​@@LeahLovesNatureAnna has made a cover, and so has Reinaeiry and Chloe Breeze who are similar cover artists to Anna!

Lyrics: It can't be said I'm an early bird It's ten o'clock before I say a word Baby, I can never tell How do you sleep so well? You keep telling me to live right To go to bed before the daylight But then you wake up for the sunrise You know you don't gotta pretend, baby, now and then Don't you just wanna wake up, dark as a lake? Smelling like a bonfire, lost in a haze? If you're drunk on life, babe, I think it's great But while in this world I think I'll take my whiskey neat My coffee black and my bed at three You're too sweet for me You're too sweet for me I take my whiskey neat My coffee black and my bed at three You're too sweet for me You're too sweet for me Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I aim low I aim true and the ground's where I go I work late where I'm free from the phone And the job gets done But you worry some, I know But who wants to live forever, babe? You treat your mouth as if it's Heaven's gate The rest of you like you're the TSA I wish I could go along, babe, don't get me wrong You know you're bright as the morning, as soft as the rain Pretty as a vine, as sweet as a grape If you can sit in a barrel, maybe I'll wait Until that day I'd rather take my whiskey neat My coffee black and my bed at three You're too sweet for me You're too sweet for me I take my whiskey neat My coffee black and my bed at three You're too sweet for me You're too sweet for me Whoa, oh-oh Whoa, oh-oh Whoa, oh-oh Whoa, oh-oh Whoa, oh-oh Whoa, oh-oh Whoa, oh-oh Whoa, oh-oh I take my whiskey neat My coffee black and my bed at three You're too sweet for me You're too sweet for me

The shift at "you keep telling me to live right" literally dropped my jaw 😮😍

[@manofthepickles8506]

Holy hell same, shivers man

[@yami-131]

I love the calmer, more somber tone of the music and song. Always thought it would work better like that. Really beautiful

[@chimera6485]

I got super excited when I saw there were event tickets to see Colm live, then I realized all of them are on the other side of the country.

[@danisaur5649]

they are on a whole other continent for me :_)

[@malikovajana]

pfff it´s on the other side of this planet for me. If you are in same country you are lucky and you should go :) :D

Try the other side of the world 😅

[@CowTaurog]

Oh well. I’ll swim over, passport be damned.

[@Johnny_Aman]

Not sure why but Hozier's version sounds like he is breaking up with a person. Colm's version sounds like he got broken up for and is just repeating being called too sweet.

[@giraffe_bass]

Exactly what I felt when my girlfriend broke up with me 😢

[@coffeeman_1411]

IM FREAKING OUT, I HAVENT FINISHED THIS COVER YET BUT IK ITLL BE INCREDIBLE. I LOVE TOO SWEET SO MUCH

[@coffeeman_1411]

i was right!! it is incredible

[@rachelstepien2370]

I’m hip!

[@sbskinner369]

Might be controversial but, I have to admit that I like the more somber approach to this song. To me, it hits a lot harder than the original. Keep them coming, Mr. McGuinness.

[@Whisperflame]

The arrangement, the vocal range... This cover's nothing short of exquisite!

[@skulduggerypleasant6439]

ive loved watching you become more and more irish in your singing voice these past couple years

[@isabelaribbeiro]

It turned out quite different from the original in such an amazing way. Great one!

[@Nunovski04]

Yo, the tone change at the end made me gasp. Very well done Colm!

[@brendenroberge7424]

I really love the ambient instrumental version of the background music, Colm. This gives me some more of an emotional atmosphere.

[@TheSonicShoe]

What's that? One of my favorite, extremely talented, voice-of-an-angel Irishmen did a cover of another one of my favorite, extremely talented, voice-of-an-angel Irishmen, and managed make it sound like a completely different, yet equally beautiful song? Seriously dude, killer cover! always a treat to hear an amazing vocalist put their own spin on the work of another amazing vocalist. Keep cranking out the bangers man 😎

[@EtheraVenlivrenVari]

I love how you put your own spin on songs with your voice, it always adds a new depth and feeling to it. This was perfect Mr. Colm, thank you for sharing!

[@ParagonOblivion]

Sometimes I forget how I stumbled across you. Twice, as a matter of fact. Thanks for being here, Colm. Always a pleasure to hear you. Cheers!

[@Aurriel]

The last few seconds are like whiskey for the ears. Damn Colm!

[@Fushishou]

I've been obsessed with Hozier's version and to see your cover in my subscription list had me incredibly hyped. Thank you for this beautiful delivery.

[@toddmaliepaard9777]

My wife blames me because my daughter now likes to sing about whiskey, coffee, and 3am bedtimes. Amazing cover as always Colm

[@jenniferchoate5600]

Compared to when you first started making videos during the pandemic, but until now?? Colm, holy crap, you've made extremely major progress as a singer, and I love all the types of music you've made over the years. Keep up the great work, Colm. Drink plenty of water and/or tea, and stay handsome, our favorite Irishman 😄.

[@anastasianorthern2925]

just to the point of goosebumps - and, honestly, to tears in the eyes at the last chords. it was wonderful, Colm. thank you so much for the wonders of music. stay *absolutely handsome*.

[@TheColoneloftruth]

This song makes Hozier the 4th ever Irish artist to hit number 1 on the USA charts, the others being Gilbert O'Sullivan (1972), U2 (1978), and Sinéad O'Connor (1990). Esteemed company to be in, he and his mother nation should be proud

[@alishadegroot9100]

Well done! I've been listening to your songs in other languages, so it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize this was in English.

[@Bellandora]

Wow! I love your interpretation of the song and that lighting contrast is otherworldly!

[@Leah-xu2fd]

Love this. And it's taken me 3 years of listening to his music through Critical Role. Learned that recently. Felt like a dolt, but glad I have been a fan of his for years now. And in a perfect world these two would go on tour together, and I would be in the audience in the front row, wishful thinking, but a girl can dream.

[@shleyofash6666]

I've had this on repeat for daaaaaaaaays!!!!

[@iduno3592]

SOOOOOO glad to hear you using that spectacular range again!! In recent covers (such as bohemian rhapsody and leaves from the vine) I've noticed a heavier use of the deeper parts of that range, and don't get me wrong the deep singing is amazing, you do it better than anyone on KZbin imo, but the emotion you can put into the song when you use a wider range just can't be beat. Came here for the deep voice, but stayed for the whole range :))

[@SkyHeel]

This guy is just awe inspiring. Absolutely excellent bar none.

[@dkrusen]

You are amazing....that was very beautiful. You are Too Sweet for this world..

Recipe for the most awesome music. First get a song, any song will do. Next add in a generous amount of fresh Colm Let’s simmer and enjoy!

[@objectreborn.artsewing]

Colm, I need to tell you. When Hozier dropped this song, within three days I'd had it on repeat multiple times. It was just exactly what I wanted and needed. Hozier has been special to me, again, lately. He's woken up and opened a lot, he's always been a gem. So I was legit 🥲 when I saw this. It was everything I wanted. I, too, take the upbeat songs I love and turn them into dirges. Perhaps because dirges feel nice in the body to sing, perhaps because it feels like an honor is being presented, whatever is sung about. This song merited it. Love you, Irish daddy 🩵✌️

[@objectreborn.artsewing]

Followup, I hadn't watched the video yet, I was always hands full when I listened. So I watched. I realized how strange your wardrobe choice was for the bulk of the song. I noticed how janus face the lighting came through, and I know how excellent and intentional you are with lighting. And of course the entire circumstance and identity shift at the end. Love you Irish daddy 🩵✌️

[@toddmaliepaard9777]

I've listened to this like 20 times since release. Another amazing cover by Colm

[@SilvasRuin]

The original feels to me like the singer doesn't want to let go of their vices and the subject isn't worth it to them while this version feels like the subject IS worth it but the singer CAN'T let go of their vices. I prefer this version for the simple reason that I prefer more intense emotions in music.
