[@iamdrewcarr]

This is the first of mine hearing someone cover my grandfather’s music and I absolutely love it! Thank you for this.

[@bleebster]

amazing

[@rickyhunt4075]

You haven't heard Percy Sledges version? Love your grandfathers music btw

[@justastranger9868]

How proud you must be, what a fantastic artist...

[@Pand3man]

🤔...I'm saying Aretha Franklin covered it...

[@sonnybrown1399]

It means so much to the listeners and fans to get feedbacks from family. Great performance 👏

[@elizabethjean2709]

this is my favorite cover of any song ever written, period.

[@workingclasspatriot4762]

My girl turned me onto " From Eden" such a beautiful and wonderful gift and one of my very favorites now ( this weekend we will sneak out onto the beach when it's the wee hours and we will dance to that song) AND NOW I get to share this very soulful ---- gorgeous version of " Dark End of the Street. What an incredible tale on one of my favorite songs!! Thank you.

[@martinobrien6737]

Sweet Jesus that was beautiful thank you for posting very different to James carr’s original but equally as powerful in its way

[@Chatta_Box]

Great classic rip James Carr! Mental awareness is important!

[@stogieguy7201]

Damn good cover of this amazing classic... this guy never ceases to impress me

[@markw3280]

I have to agree with you. As a matter of fact, I loved Linda Ronstadt's version until I heard this version from Hozier. The dude's voice is fucking amazing. Probably why I loved Ronstadt's version due to her beautiful voice!

[@elanyacoleman9862]

He has the best voice to make one feel satiated !

[@elanyacoleman9862]

Oh Hozier, with your voice you do any cover. Justice !

[@Larissa-rose1]

I adore this song ❤❤❤❤

[@Personofinterest82]

I keep finding these shiny gems along my travels on the interwebz and I am just blown away every time. You've inspired me to start singing again after a 20 year break from voice/opera, mostly brought on by life. I'm so thankful every day for your music. Keep singing, Andrew ❤

[@garymeinen3663]

This is a truly amazing cover...WOW!

[@PrstgeWrldWde]

You, me, Jack, and Hozier

[@TravisGilbert]

I literally just left the snl lol

[@towedarray7217]

Excellent reference and a +1 for Cecily, Luke, Jack, and Me

[@jenniferhorvath2962]

At the dark end of the street That's where we always meet Hiding in shadows where we don't belong Living in darkness to hide our wrong You and me, at the dark end of the street You and me I know time is gonna take its toll We're have pay for the love we stole It's a sin and we know it's wrong Oh but our love keeps coming on strong Steal away, to the dark end of the street, mmm mmm They're gonna find us They're gonna find us They're gonna find us, oh someday You and me, at the dark end of the street You and me And when the daylight hour rolls around And by chance we're both downtown If we should meet, just walk on by Oh darling, please don't cry Tonight we'll meet At the dark end of the street, mmm mm

This song is so fucking good, I found it through a hip hop sample.. but jesus that melody and tempo is perfect.

[@johnflynn5044]

Soul music, Hozier, its why me and my kind live you .. time waits for no man

[@multipleman78]

This song is masterful. The original is still the best but almost every cover sounds good too. A testament to the quality of the lyrics.

[@JaneNicoleLiong-Byrne]

[@sallywright8065]

Hairs bristling on back of neck! l❤

[@audielajeunesse]

[@mediocretroll2842]

Blood upon the snow

[@joeysanguine3596]

Your grandfather was an amazing singer

[@cf6880]

I love your version as well as Eva Cassidy's version

[@newvillagefilms]

WTH? I still like Andrew Strong's cover from the movie The Commitments.

[@barayeurass5710]

tomcat .. come out of the dark you were born to shine.. when you do somebody wrong make it right

[@ScrappedInScotland]

Can you please do “Forgetting you” by James Carr?

[@ceciliacecilia9883]

Our Haunted Scotland Project bro what?

[@acornpockets7244]

thank you hozier i really needed this after finding out that credence barebone may very well be straight im devastated

[@billiey36]

??? You don't like straight guys? Sorry to tell you but Hozier is straight, too.

[@jeffreyflowers5203]

Jess Valor And what's wrong with that?

[@zxmoore1]

The Commitments

[@jayb8321]

It's Dan Penn's song, regardless this is great

[@motopuaina6]

Jezbecks he'll no og James Carr song

[@jayb8321]

allamericanironworker I dig that version, I meant Dan Penn is the writer

[@paganmaestro]

Yeah, Dan wrote it with Chips Moman in 1967. When asked, Dan will say, "No one does it like James Carr."

[@Baci302]

David Byrne's son?

[@stacyaugust8241]

LOL! No, Hozier's from Ireland.

[@johnfurr8779]

ah, the tune is by Dan Penn not James Carr... credit the writer

[@markw3280]

Actually, Dan Penn and Chips Moman wrote the song and James Carr was the first to have recorded the song. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_End_of_the_Street

[@ziblot1235]

The Burrito Bros do it best.

[@MetalSniper63]

You took an almost perfect song and made it as generic as it can get... Same rythm on every song...

[@codyanderson1358]

MetalSniper63 there's always one.. Smh

[@terrakengo]

There's nothing generic about this. The geometry of the rhythm is consistent and brilliant.

[@audielajeunesse]

MetalSniper63 - all his songs are poetry and his covers are amazing - he makes them his own, doesn't just copy the original - BRILLIANT!

[@mikepetersen9887]

MetalSniper63 your full of shit

[@audielajeunesse]

Mike Petersen - that would be u! 😊

[@beaumorris5289]

Beautiful.
