🎵 Hozier - Take Me To Church REACTION

[@bar5radass]

This video is about the persecution of gay men in Chechnya and other countries. They’re being executed, thrown off buildings, it’s horrible…

[@sierra6936]

Wow I didn't know that.. very horrible 😞

[@imshtoney]

Hozier is so good at writing/singing about serious and very sad topics but making it sound so beautiful. my favorite from him is Cherry Wine and its about a victim of domestic abuse excusing their abuser because they think thats just how they show their love.

[@hitmixhyepock9405]

Maybe they don't want pedophiles like we have here....

[@highntight845]

The video is...not the song. The song is jist talking about religious hypocrisy

[@bar5radass]

@@highntight845 isn’t that what I said? I did say video…I’m confused…

[@rubypickles1836]

That scene with the flare glowing over the man being dragged on the ground is so terrifying.

[@MySerpentine]

The way it lights up strong on the word 'church' really says all you need to know.

The grass is green. The sky is blue. Some people are coloured. Some people are gay ... Some people refuse to accept reality ...Ignorance creating fear and misery is the problem. Many layers to the onion ... maybe that's why I'm crying ...

[@melissavukelic4138]

Wow! This is beautiful.

As seen on Wikipedia: Lyrically, "Take Me to Church" is a metaphor, with the protagonist comparing his lover to religion. The song grew out of Hozier's frustration with the Catholic Church which, as somebody raised in the Protestant quaker faith, he saw as dominating the social and political outlook of the Irish state "Growing up, I always saw the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church

Great song very powerful.

[@lillired857]

maybe you heard the version from the subway with a choir, its amazing

[@elffin6722]

Real honest thoughtful reaction. Right or wrong,

[@gonzo1483]

You have to cherry-pick the Bible to presuppose that God is just. A God can be real and unjust at the same time.

[@gonzo1483]

@@Layjus123 Random comment. I said a God can be real. I didn't claim he/it was real. You know that God is impossible. I disagree. Either way, my behavior is guided by empathy rather than any God presupposition.

[@judgildea]

Jesus..this is his song and his story. But I'm guessing he wants to have u listen to it and feel ur own shit

[@EstherWijsbeek]

I was just to like your reaction....until you said unless you are a girl...! wtf man and you wanna talk about gay people... Idk

[@alambyant]

@1.12 I nearly vomited.

[@avagyhas]

The version of this song from Morgan James is way better than the original version. But this is just my opinion.

[@barr790]

Nah
