their friendship is so cute. look at her smiling and clapping and him smiling back, and their height difference is just adorably goofy

Meera Madhavan looking through all the other comments, yours is spot on.

Yesss... I love the homage he pays to so many of the greats

[@litaballard6117]

I love this song!! It is so deep and meaningful! I think you almost have to study the Lyrics before you really get it! This song has Power! 💪❤

[@NotLeda]

it physically hurts how beautiful his voice and his soul are. he's pure, raw emotion. his performance is mesmerising and I can't stop looking at how he feels the song as he sings it. it's like watching an artist create a masterpiece, it feels so intimate and intense that you almost feel like you shouldn't be there, but at the same time he's begging you to watch, he's giving this song to you and trusting you with it, hoping you'll take care of it. his performances are simple but so rich of emotions and unspoken truths and it feels like he's telling you a secret, and I feel a sense of acceptance that is needed so much right now in the world. he fills our hearts with a kind of love that can turn to power. he's making the world a better place. thank you, Hozier.

I'm afraid that won't happen, for he is mine (hopefully in some parallel universe)

[@carlyb7870]

You SEE that music is a spiritual thing for him. Every time he performs it looks like he’s in prayer, like music is this mans religion and my god is he devoted

[@maryamahilowle4795]

1:57 Mavis started clapping for him If that's not support and adoration I don't know what is😍😍

[@jenniferwilder2858]

I think the clapping is a way of recognizing nina simone. She used clapping as an instrument in her songs.

[@YourLoyalDeserter]

She clapped like she did when she did The Weight with the band. I think it's just something she does when she's feeling the music.

Magnificent how, when Mavis has her solo, he steps back to give her space. The respect among musicians is incredible

[@Aurelyo87]

i didn't expect to see them here. I'm surprised. They are on another level. I loved this song since the first time I heard it.

And you know Andrew Hozier has got to be genuine because a woman like Mavis Staples would not perform with some indie white boy otherwise. Hoziers a great person and singer. 😍

[@MaRi-zp9zk]

That’s the thing, if maybe... you haven’t heard him after the take me church there’s s reason. The guys is too genuine, also he belongs to this Irish generation that is really pushing forward in their activism

Wow, Mavis is the last surviving member of the Staple Singers and still sounds great. Yvonne, Cleotha & Pops have all passed. They were such a great group, love their music and still listen to it today. Hozier is great too. Take Me To Church is one of my favourite tunes.

One of the best alive singer, We need more artist like Hozier. Peaceful, Creative and Respective. I hope I can see his performance in Middle East soon

[@shannonmarie9441]

This is amazing. He literally keeps the beat with his whole body. Feet, hands, head. He keeps with the bass and beat at the same time. True talent, and that is voice is something else.

[@benedelbi2878]

They sure do CRY POWER. So powerful, especially in these days of suffering and injustices. Brilliant song, fantastic voices.

Yeah I actually think his best song is called to be alone. It’s one of my favorites and is criminally underrated.

He needs a Grammy nomination for 2019 and 2020. This song like all of his work is so beautifully and thoughtfully written and performed. Much success !!
