What a talented bunch of people...

[@thecurrent]

So true - everyone in that ensemble had a role and totally nailed it.

This stripped down version emphasizes the lyrics so well. Very important to Cry truth to Power in these troubled times. Love Hozier!

It is SUCH a shame that they're not playing with a full drum set here...or Mavis Staples ;) That drummer of theirs is quite a player, and it keeps them tighter the whole time

hes rightfully miserable because there are so many rotten people in the world who exploit the rest and keep us brainwashed. if he started being happy he would be just another lying celebrity who keeps the masses brainwashed.

He moves me. Every sence of me feels joy spirit sexuality power humbled all at once. The Lord moves through him. Love his power. Keep on changing the way we feel about spirituality. Church has fucked it all up. Pay attention to today's profits youngins. This is God bringing it down to your level. He has love for us all. There is no heathen that cant be loved by him. Just shamelessly except it. AND REMEMBER...it comes without condition or price. You just have to want it.

I disagree, he sounds amazing anyway but the background singers and players are amazing and ad a lot to the song

[@hikmawatikail9227]

R u ok hubby?? Need some rest babe come lay next to me😘😘😘

[@Ring0fSaturn]

Great band of talented people, plenty of respect for the music here, but personally, being Pagan/Atheist, the lyrics don't resonate with me. I love the music of Nina Simone, but "Lord" means "power over" and that's not for me. Just sayin'. Peace.

[@gabba1983]

Why does he sings every performance of this song is with a wrong tone???

[@Aj-sn1dp]

Considering its HIS song and HE chose to sing it like this, ite not the wrong tone lmao. They stripped it down and Mavis isnt there. Big whoop. There's absolutely nothing wrong here

[@lidianajera5884]

Noooooo

[@lidianajera5884]

Its fn geniouse. He doesn't even have to try
