Lyrics:
A two tonne weight around my chest feels like
It just dropped a twenty storey height
If there was anyone to ever get through this life
With their heart still intact, they didn’t do it right
The last time I felt your weight on my chest you said
'We didn't get it right but love we did our best'
And we will again,
Moving on in time and taking more from
Everything that ends
And all things end
All that we intend is scrawled in sand
or slips right through our hands
And just knowing that everything will end
Should not change our plans when we begin again
We begin again
I have never known a silence
Like the one fallen here
Never watched my future darken in a single tear
I know we want this to go easy by being somebody's fault
But we’ve gone long enough to know this isn’t what we want
And that isn’t always bad
When people say that something is forever
Either way it ends
And all things end
All that we intend is scrawled in sand
or slips right through our hands
And just knowing
That everything will end
Should not change our plans
When we begin again
We begin again
we begin again
We begin again
And all things end
(Knowing we can always start again)
All that we intend
(Knowing we can have another day)
is scrawled in sand
(Knowing we can always start again)
or slips right through our hands
(Knowing we can have another day)
And just knowing
That everything will end
Should not change our plans
When we begin again

As someone who works in a hospital and wears scrubs all the time, I’m absolutely mesmerized and enthralled by the surgical gown to choir gown transition in the costuming. Whoever designed those is brilliant.

I just watched the video for the first time today and let me tell you... I sobbed like a baby! There is such beauty and melancholy in this song, it hits the most tender part of my heart as someone with a chronic illness that could result in me dying young🥹💓The life I have is beautiful and will come to an end someday either young or old, and his song makes me have peace with that

[@LinWaltzer]

I physically gasped in that part and had to pause the video to recover 😭

God that muffled sound of the music playing in the background while looking at the dead body hurts so much. The portrayal of grief taking over because you couldn't save someone, to the acceptance that that's just how it goes through the dancing and singing together only to cut back to the harsh reality they are gone. This is rising as my favorite Hozier song of all time.

[@OGimouse1]

I've been listening to this song for hours a day and I always have all of these thoughts about the symbolism in the song and the video. But I think one of my visual favorites is the idea of the "choir" of people who die with him--that piece of them that goes with him--like you often hear health professionals talk about when they lose someone. And then the piece of him that stays in that room as he last was alive as if to serve as a reminder for the future to anyone in the room about what can happen the next time someone else is in the room. Both perpetually stuck together and yet separate for different purposes. He'll be stuck in the moment forever trying to be saved, and they'll forever remember the lesson of his loss. My favorite symbolic features is the idea of rebirth that follows in a lot of his songs: that he's with someone who doesn't break his heart... this time (but maybe next time). Whether it's a rebirth of the soul or a rebirth of the relationship? It works either way. I love his music so much

[@BrittanyNCrosby]

This reminds me of the Jamie Anderson quote “Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in the hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.” Another brilliant song and video by the team, touching a nerve, especially as we all carry new types of grief within us.

[@andreaf.7164]

What a beautiful quote. I've never heard it, thanks for adding it here.

I feel this every time I listen to his music. It's to a point where I feel like the only way he and other people I talk about him with, will get a proper explanation of how his music makes me feel is only if they become me and feel what I feel. Cause words can not explain that feeling 🥺

[@julo2230]

I hope one day you do get the chance to tell him. It's not the same as you telling him yourself, but please know that there are MANY of us who've been lucky enough to tell him exactly that. I think what I told him is how grateful I am that I exist in the same era that he does, that he's making this life-changing, life-saving art. And he seems to be deeply & truly grateful every time he hears it.

I love how the entire meaning of a song can be changed when the artist shows how it’s meant to be taken. It’s fantastic.

[@justinnutter9008]

I don't think it's "meant" to be taken any one way. The lyrics are about the inevitably of endings but it doesn't have to be about loss or death necessarily. It can be about any type of ending and how you shouldn't get discouraged from living how you want to in the moment despite knowing it won't last. Some of the lyrics even, in my opinion, allude to another interpretation of dealing with the ending of relationships "Darling, we didn't do it right. But we did our best." "If anyone makes it through this life with their heart intact they didn't do it right" Art means what it means to the person experiencing it.

[@shinesnakee]

@@justinnutter9008 ahhh, that makes sense! I just ment that the meaning (for me, at least), changed once I saw it here. But yes, I do agree ^^

[@AqEva]

My personal favourites: 1:09 - how the surgeon goes from concerned observation to pained realisation in a millisecond 1:26 - her conversation with her hands, it's like she asks them "why did your skill fail, why were you not enough?" 1:58 - the syncronised dance brings the feeling of solidarity in pain 2:40 - the multifaceted contrast between the sterile hospital envirnoment, the "fomal-retro-stage" Andrew and his usual stage preasence we know from concerts. Also - how his hight among shorter dancers emphasises that he's somehow not from the same plane of existance. 3:10 - the hand gestures reverse to the clap we hear And general play with sound design, the fadings of music timed just right. Truly a masterpiece.

[@N.A777]

Your comment had me stop everything I was doing to read and than go back in video to watch the exact times for each observation you made throughout the video. All I can say, is bless your soul for adding your opinion of this video in the comments. More likely unaware than not, your comments truly have huge resignation to what's been happening in my life. Thank you. ❤

I saw those clap gestures at the end as heartbeats, or maybe absent heartbeats

[@nagus02]

[@itismeanttobe]

nice observation although i think the height one is a bit far fetched hes 6'8 😂

[@gingerale5888]

100% agree, it's terribly moving. I would add: - 0:38 - when Hozier's right hand reaches the surgeon's arm, and her reaction to it; - 2:47 - the surgeons' clothes now have the design of the singers' robes in gospel choirs. - 3:06 - the muffled sound and the close-up on Hozier. Can't find the words right now to express why it is so powerful, but @iDanzick made it well. The song it in itself, the lyrics, the message, the performance, are absolutely brillant and make me cry each time I listen to it, and the video adds a lot. There's such an attention to detail, such a great editing work, the choreography is beautiful... You can understand this song is so many ways (this is one of the many talents of Hozier in my opinion) and the video illustrates the message perfectly and in an incredibly powerful way. A masterpiece...

[@mx.milagros]

This is such an intimate and relatable depiction of grief. It’s heart wrenching and freeing at the same time, another masterpiece from Hozier

[@Daraniashley]

I think this song’s perspective of a healthcare provider emphasizes how tumultuous the healthcare field is on them. They lose a patient and they have a short period of time to collect themselves thus to start again. It’s heartbreaking when healthcare workers lost so many people during the pandemic and though the patients are gone they have to move on and keep going. They’re really the heroes and I hope people are kind to all healthcare workers cause they’re going/went through so much these past years.

Nobody is talking about it, but I love the first part of the head nurses dancing. She looks at her hands, knowing the mans life was in them and now its gone. She emphasises her grief and desire to save his life with the way she takes her right fist over her heart, then sliding it down her left hand that then pulses. This represents her grief, cutting her heart out to give it to him but she couldnt do that. It also shows her love for life, ans grief for the loss of it. She loses part of her heart when she loses a patient.

The shot of the corpse and the muffled choir in the background gave me goosebumps and an existential moment. This is what I hope I can listen to on my deathbed one day. Lord, thank you for blessing the Earth with Hozier’s music and creativity. It sounds so weird but every time I listen to one of his songs that I connect with, I have an out of body experience and feel that much closer to God and the universe.

[@wryn.is.trying]

2:35 the transition here with the sheet made me genuinely start sobbing uncontrollably. I have several chronic illnesses that have been gradually worsening, and in the last two years I went from being able to live a normal-ish life with lots of discomfort to being completely house-bound, very unwell all the time, and constantly focused on treatments and symptoms and medications to hopefully not get any worse. My relationship with my body and with my life is very medicalized, and i’ve lost many of the abilities that i used to think of as a main part of who i was. Before my illnesses took over my life, I was on track to becoming a professional musician or music teacher. I played my instruments and sang constantly, and performed every chance I got. I can no longer play my instruments frequently or as well as i could. When i do play, it’s incredibly painful and frustrating. I can still sing, most of the time, but i can’t stand and fill an auditorium with my energy while performing powerful music. That’s what I miss more than anything else i’ve lost. Seeing this transition going from a medical setting where everything is going wrong and it’s all confusion and dread when the sheet comes up, and then a full choir comes in and the sheet is lifted and suddenly, we see our patient as vibrant as he really is, singing into a microphone in a nice suit, surrounded by dancers. In a moment, the perception of the character changes because we see who he is inside, and who he used to be before this hospital setting where his body is failing him despite all the efforts to save it. He sings with enthusiasm, and the harmony is full and beautiful, and for just a moment, it’s possible to forget about the pain and illness and death that await you in the real world. I wish I could simply pull a sheet over my head and get to sing as fully as I used to one more time. I hope i at least somewhat captured my feelings and how hard those few seconds hit me, and maybe have someone a new perspective to view this from :)

[@jaredasherharrisfilms]

[@kindallfredricks9757]

I've been a nurse since I was 21...the first patient I ever lost was in her very early 50's. She had almost no medical history, but she suffered a massive heart attack while she was dyeing her hair. Her hair was still covered in dye when she got to the ER. I somehow got some on my gloves while I was doing chest compressions. That always really stuck with me--she was just in the middle of living her life when she died. No idea what was about to happen.

[@acaliharte]

“In the middle of living her life” What a beautiful observation. We expect death to find us in bed, or after a long illness, when it often comes like a thief, when we least expect it, when we’re not ready to go. 10 years as a nurse, and I’ve had way more wins than losses, but it’s always the “middle of living” stories that gut me.

I lost my mom to cancer almost five years ago and my worst fear is that I’ll forget how much it hurt to lose her. I never want to forget that I cared about her enough for her passing to completely break me to my core. I never want to forget that love like that not only exists, but also that I was privileged enough to have shared in it. Watching this reminded me of every emotion I felt the morning of her passing and, in a very backwards way, it was so beautiful to know that I still carry those feelings within me.

[@juneyokakul]

I know I'm just a stranger on the internet but I want you to know that you're not alone. I have had a similar experience, my mum passed about 6 years ago with cancer as well. It's impossible to forget that kind of pain, and of course, that kind of love. No one will ever understand it until they have experienced it themselves. I carry those feelings around with me always, all the time.

[@HannaBenana]

I haven't seen someone put into words what is so comforting about grieving a long lost loved one. Remembering them, how much you loved them, and how their loss felt is bitter sweet. It hurts but it feels like I'm closer when I think about it. Like I'm remembering what that love felt like, more than it's sudden loss.

[@joshuamankiewicz1942]

I know I'm just another stranger on the Internet, but you don't forget it. My Mom passed away from cancer 17 years ago, and sometimes it still hits. This album, song, video, is remarkably well done.

[@AliceP.]

My mom passed away of Lupus 15 years ago. Your comment is very relatable. Grief, hurtful as it can be, is still a powerful reminder that love remains. ❤

[@bijouxga4117]

He's done it again!! I loved it all but the part where the choir joins in and the gowns of the medical team change into gospel ones is 👌🏾❤️

Hozier never misses for me. His lyrics, visuals, tones are incredible every time. I love all the different ways his music can be interpreted. Romantic, sorrowful, comforting, spiritual- so amazing and why he has been my number one favorite since Take Me to Church. No one else does it like Hozier. Beautiful music video as always- made me think of so many people I have said goodbye to because of death or just simply parting ways.

I lost my dad to Covid over a year ago, and this one really hit close to home. We sat with him for almost a half hour after taking him off the ventilator while he slowly suffocated, and he finally let go once we sang to him. I've been terrified of returning to that grief

[@bebeoshana7129]

Ok let’s take several minutes to appreciate the following: - the beautiful eye shots - the amazing choreography - Mr Byrne in a suit UGHHH and the way that shot came in 👌🏻 - THE DIVERSITY in the dancers/nurses (I feel like that was intentionally done) - finally, all the little symbolic things that will make me think and THINK and THINK SOME MORE. overall, 10/10 experience, Hozy can do no wrong and he is also NOT ALLOWED to ever end up how he did here (I shall not even mention the D word in the same sentence as his name 🤐)

[@thepharoahess1214]

I've told all my friends that when Hozier passes they need to do everything within their power to make sure I NEVER find out because I would be inconsolable😭

[@CloverDaBunni]

That's the thing my friends... We must be willing to embrace the bitter cold of death, to understand the sweet warmth of life. Do not cry when it is over, smile because of all that happened

[@reiri5764]

This song is my favourite in the album because I really am struggling and having an existential crisis and actually, there's a lot of things I cannot let go. But then as the title says and the song wants to say, all things end, but just knowing that everything will end should not change our plans... When we begin again. WE CAN BEGIN AGAIN! Begin again. Easy to say but hard to do especially with all the progress you've made that just slipped from your hand. But we can begin again. :) But I really love it that this mv made it a comfort song for the doctors who spend hours and sacrifice their sleep to save a person's life and we know they aren't superhumans so they can't really save ALL their patients. And that they definitely are still feeling guilty and frustrated and devastated and are always remembering the pain of not being able to save others' lives and hearing their families' cries as they update them of how they tried but... all things end.

This song is so beautiful, I love it. It's been making me cry since the very first time I heard it.

That was a gut wrenching video. My hubby had open heart surgery last year. Everything was against him, but with the surgeon and his crew's amazing skill, and God's tender care my husband pulled thru. Some never wake up. That was what this film made me think of. God be with the bereaved and give them a semblance of peace. God bless you Hozier, your songs are always impactful. God bless everyone who reads this message. God loves you. Believe me, He genuinely does.

[@eastoneone4015]

Woodland Jesus has done it yet again. The reimagining of this song in terms of a surgeon losing a patient, the syncing of the heart monitor with the beat of the song, the sudden switch to monochrome after he dies, the dance choreography, the surgeon gown to choir gown transition (and btw those costumes!), him being dressed in a suit as if he were at his funeral, and the sudden cut back to the dead body with the song muffled in the background - all of these things make one of my favourite music videos for one of my favourite hozier songs. Thank you, Andrew.

[@connor5469]

Watching this is so bittersweet. Much like life. Reminds me that I should turn toward gratitude instead of pessimism and fear. All the love to Hozier, a true artist willing to show his humanity to us all. I feel honored that him and I are alive at the same time. Forever one of my favorites 🤍✨

[@julo2230]

I feel EXACTLY the same! And I was lucky enough to say exactly that to him, about being grateful that I'm alive at the same time he's making his art. He's an extraordinary human and his art is so powerful!

[@sincerelyparand]

1:33 oh wow, i never even noticed that the drum here sounds like a heartbeat until the dancer made that move with her hand, what an INCREDIBLE detail. i also really love that the music video for this song plays in a hospital/surgery setting because truly, i can't think of any other place where "just knowing that everything will end should not change our plans when we begin again" is more relevant.

THIS IS PURE ART The scrubs to gowns, the flatlined patient to the main singer, the sudden shot of the dead patient in the empty dark room with the muffled music you can hear “upstairs” implicating the other setting is the afterlife??? It all adds so much more weight to the meaning behind the song

[@gagemcgill5914]

The video is really interesting in that, as far as I am awar, when we die and chemicals flood our brains, at that time whatever we did or believed in life [that happens when we die] happens and we live that reality for a few minutes before our brains actually cease all electrical activity. So when he "died" and the doctors ceased the surgery, there was still something happening after the fact.

[@alexanderjones5109]

my dad passed some months ago and it's been really hard learning how to cope and move on. this song has been helping me a lot since it came out, honestly. this music video only enforces it. all things end, including people, but we shouldn't let that stop us from living and trying again and again and again
