Hozier - To Be Alone (live in Kilkenny) REACTION

[@AmalaFrequents]

This performance makes me understand why people have a theory that Hozier is some immortal ancient Irish forest creature. The softness in some of those line and the extreme poetry of the lyrics is just so stunning. I am loving these reactions.

[@aeri_taylors-version]

he’s our bog fairy king 😂

[@duncansmith6081]

I literally based a dryad in my dnd game off of him

[@novemberaddams2779]

"him being 10 feet tall" ain't that the truth

[@MissIssay]

Hozier is one of the very few artists who sound better live than on the albums - his Instagram lives last spring literally saved my sanity in lockdown. No filters, no layering, no cosmetic changes like auto tune: just him and a guitar. Damn, I miss concerts.

[@RandomBlair]

Also that he made the effort to hold these poetry fridays, where he read to us! I've seen him live twice now and easily the best vocals I've experienced so far. Definitely better in person than on a record and his records are incredible.

[@MissIssay]

@@RandomBlair oh yeah! He genuinely seems to care about his fanbase which is something I appreciate immensely in an artist

[@aprilrivas5071]

Andrew is the human being and Hozier is the Irish wood spirit who possesses his body and makes the most beautiful music ever. That’s it. I’ve cracked the code.

[@baileyross6515]

In addition to "Wasteland, Baby!," his EP that came out right beforehand has some incredible tracks that aren't in the able and are 100% worth giving a listen to, especially NFWMB and Moment's Silence

[@wepenno9386]

Also the songs from the extended version of self titled! In the Woods Somewhere, Run, Arsonists Lullaby.

[@baileyross6515]

@@wepenno9386 oh my gosh, yes! If he really like the higher pitched vocals here, he would die over hearing Run

[@sarahnajjar5706]

You should check out Arsonists lullaby and in the woods somewhere.

[@Jette...]

And Run! That song is so underrated

[@otsilekutumela6837]

Those two and Angel of small deaths are my favorites!

[@sydneyarp9304]

Also any performance of Movement is simply magical, especially live.

[@flatulentflamingo3240]

The Circle Sessions performance of Movement is probably my fave. The harmonies at the end give me chills every time!

[@autumnleaves-77]

@@flatulentflamingo3240 yes! I cannot stop listening to that particular performance of Movement. The camera work and the acoustics of the room is truly amazing.

[@annawagnerr]

i get so excited when i see hozier in the title 🙏

[@chocoholicallemand9096]

Hozier is magical, some say forest God, I say bardic Druid. For real a poet, and humanitarian. LOVE him so much!!

[@zaffiasalem]

I'm still dreaming about the wasteland baby reaction can't waitttt

[@Marylane-e7z]

It's in Kilkenny Castle in Ireland, the building is 764 years old it was built in 1260 and that's why the acoustics are so special, if you like that thete is a show online called Other voices in St. James's Church in Dingle in Co. Kerry that one is 200 years old and has had some of the most famous singers in the world perform there. It's truly magical.

[@emilycoral7054]

hozier is so underrated... he’s so good and amazing

[@tiafielding]

Respectfully reminding you that you should totally react to Arsonist's Lullabye. :D

[@shelbysnelling1860]

If you love Hozier, you should really check out when he did an acapella version of The Humours of Whiskey!! One of my favorite live moments of him!!

[@anastasiabiziou3039]

You should also definitely react to the cover of "Time" by Pink Floyd he was in with Trinity Orchestra. He's super young there, before the self-titled or take me to church. It's wonderful to see him performing such an iconic song and realizing he was that great since then!

[@FractalSpace888]

Yes!!

[@shairam.3789]

The power of Hozier and his music Fucking perfect!

[@mooooonz]

No matter how many times I listen to him he blows me away every single time. Literal chills. 😭 Loved your reaction, Steven. Can't wait for you to experience Wasteland, Baby! Thanks Nicole for requesting this.

[@TheRhonada]

His music is beautiful and raw. Unbelievable live. Electric. Jaw dropping good. Can't wait for his next tour.

[@mikaylaj4322]

I cannot wait until you get around to hearing Wasteland Baby!!!

[@mikeluongo537]

He gets me for more than 2 hours a day. My stereo is 40K, sounds like fire...

[@alannahoneill4828]

My god I actually can't wait for you to react to Wasteland baby the excitement

[@datoberaia6527]

This live performance is one of the greatest musical experiences I've ever heard and seen. It's like pouring honey in my ears and showing thousand stars to my eyes.

[@superdoesings2416]

It will come back live, the one where he is wearing red flannel (vid quality sucks but it's an awesome live performance) and jackboot jump, the official video of which is live

[@mikeluongo537]

They played this song while I was awke, but drugged, having surgery. I started to become Him, and started To screan like Him. I can sing along to every fucking song...

[@Kate-wr4ef]

MY BOYYYYYYY i honestly live each time i see you react to hozier, thank you so much !!!! can't wait for wasteland, baby!

[@texasseastar]

I had not sen this performance. He's so damn GOOD. His vocals are always haunting. A he sems to write songs for himself and you're either into it or not. Those that get him really get him. I just LOVE Hozier! He's definitely on my list of MUST SEE concerts once we're past COVID.

[@TheRhonada]

I could do nothing but stand in awe watching him perform live. It's a powerful thing. Raw and so real. Hard to put into words.

[@Kay-vf8wu]

This song is always so hauntingly beautiful live. Desperately miss this.

[@soniachapple3141]

Totally agree ... Hozier is better live!!! There’s just something so mesmerising and ethereal about his energy, vocals and stage presence. Have been lucky enough to see him live here in australia 5 times and met him twice. He really is a true gentle and extremely humble young man!!! 🙌🏼 Highly recommend you see him live ... you’ll walk away so different and in absolute awe of him 🙌🏼🔥🙌🏼 Wasteland Baby is an exquisite album ... can’t wait for your reaction 💕

[@dariajustdaria2292]

OMG OMG OMG THIS is one of the most beautiful live Hozier performances we have recorded, chills every time! Thank you for reacting to it!

[@alifrog6594]

i am so excited for when you listen to wasteland baby i literally sit here and i’m like has steven done is yet has he reacted yet

[@EyeGlassTrainofMind]

You DO consume a lot of music and it's so impressive that you have the emotional capacity to take in so much and appreciate Hozier. I do agree that he has a powerful presence--makes me want to see live music again safely, soon! Hopefully sometime this year! Thanks for sharing all of your ideas here, Steven!

[@ashleyhoward6651]

I got to see him in concert on the Wasteland Baby tour and he really is amazing live!

[@ChemicalW6]

Love your reactions man. This is a great song and performance. But your reaction sums up everyone’s response!! Love it. Keep up the good work. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 🤘

[@ChemicalW6]

P.s. How you say Kilkenny is adorable 😁😁 Think of kill-Kenny in South Park 😝👍

[@Bingo.BaJingo]

He permformed with a choir called anuna in ireland since he was quite young to my knowledge, then as part of trinity college dublin choir before he released his albums...so hes spent his life learning that projecting voice style. Hes amazing

[@Emi-sk4kz]

Hozier’s covers are amazing too, they give me chills

[@milanapl2373]

I need to find someone who'd look at me the way Steven looks at Hozier singing

[@whosthatgirl53]

honestly love seeing the reverence in your face as you fall deeper in love with Hozier.. like us all ofc. waiting for wasteland baby!!

[@coffeegirlantifahq4922]

His voice is like a treasured memory that leaves me sad that it's over

[@Phoebe-qs9lw]

Hozier: *falsetto* Steven: *soul leaves body*

[@rebeccastarovich6079]

Love your reaction to his amazing voice and song. I think 'Arsonist's Lullaby' would have your head and heart flying. It's got all Hozier's best elements. Really enjoy your channel.

[@morudd8458]

Love to see you discovering more of Hozier's work. Can't wait to see you listen to Wasteland, Baby! Just a thought, but Hozier's birthday is March 17th, great day for a reaction video!

[@aoiferachel3942]

Please check out more Hozier performances!!! Also btw kilkenny is pronounced: Kill - Ken( as in a Ken doll) - ee

[@kimcarragher5784]

Yeah hearing “kil-kinnie” I winced. Kil-KEN-ee god I hadn’t realised other people really don’t know ireland o it side of Dublin huh

[@kimcarragher5784]

Outside of*

[@bluestarrr94]

You're so right. I went to his Wasteland, Baby concert and it was life changing.

[@StrangeShady]

My favourite off the debut album, eagerly anticipating what you think of Talk in Wasteland Baby

[@woopwoopboopboop14]

God I hope we get to see a reaction to his version of parting glass at some point.

[@shairam.3789]

That is the effect of Hozier

[@sarahnajjar5706]

Wow I clicked so fast.. love hozier and your reactions 🤍

[@victoriasantana8441]

Hozier's live voice is just... OMG. love him

[@scottjudge5704]

Seen his first arena gig ever in Dublin with my daughter. Awesome

[@ravenofroses]

somehow it hadn't hit me that he was singing those high parts, too. idk if he sings them on the album, but DAMN. being able to do that live is BEYOND impressive.

[@angelsharma7650]

I JUST WOW WOW WOW- I WAS LISTENING TO THIS AND THEN YOUR VIDEO POPPED UP AND JUST IT WAS SO NICE BONDING OVER THE BEAUTY OF THIS SONG

[@thaismaciel6112]

"and him being ten feet tall" yeah we all feel what you feel

[@iamsica]

I love watching your reactions to Hozier. It makes me feel a little less alone cause I don't know anyone who likes him beyond Take me to Church. It's an atrocity.

[@angelharmony1595]

You should listen to his live performance of an NFWMB, I swear I get chills every time.

[@prosebuds5124]

seeing hozier live was literally one of the best moments of my life 💜 cant wait for you to react to more of this forest god

[@DiaryofaBasicBW]

FINALLY someone reacts to my favorite Hozier live video.

[@blackmilk1000]

React to a whole 'Wasteland baby' album! I've seen Hozier live in Manchester and it's the most magical memory of my life. I'm not sure if you know it but Hozier writes (I believe all) his songs and also produces the sound to many of them on his own. I'm a slut for creative, enigmatic lyrics, and Hozier always delivers! 💚

[@blackmilk1000]

Haha, now that I got to the end of the video, I'm happy to hear that you already have it planned for March to react to Wasteland Baby 😂 btw, great reaction, as always!

[@peytonfuller879]

PLEASE listen to eat your young that he released this year it’s amazing

[@gwinnellheald8592]

YESS! Can't wait to see the wasteland, baby! Reaction!

[@annie.sanders]

thanks Nichole (Nicole? sorry if I spelled your name wrong) for requesting this. Steven saying he wants to bow down to Hozier is so valid because he IS a king amongst men and we should all bow 😂😂❤️❤️

[@kenetabansi5016]

Arsonist’s lullaby will blow your mind

[@klaranorthrup1236]

Yes! More Hozier always!!!!

[@MindyRRD6760]

.0003 seconds.... that's how long it took me to click on this once I realized you had a new Hozier reaction up. ❤❤❤ You mentioned how he sucks you in like no one else... it's so true.. That's why he is simultaneously the Irish woodland & bog King. I feel you, I am with you, I cannot wait for you to experience more of this amazing human.

[@cecil1108]

Amo a Hozier 🖤🖤🖤🖤 gracias Steveeeeennn ❤

Great reaction! U always do great showing us

[@ghazal9671]

I loved this!! Please do a reaction to his Other Voices concert, that was powerful! Also can't wait for your reaction to wasteland, baby! and jackboot jump (also all proceeds from this song go to charities supporting the BLM movement and the song itself is super powerful) definitely check those out! Love your channel!

I love his new york subway performance of take me to church. so good.

[@gwinnellheald8592]

Please react to his other NYC subway shows! I know you've seen his take me to church performance but I'd love you to watch the whole thing! It's about 20 minutes or so. It has PHENOMENAL harmonies (which I know you're a sucker for) and atmosphere especially in 'movement'. :)

[@gracerogerz]

i think he already did that

[@gwinnellheald8592]

@@gracerogerzyou're right he's already done the take me to church one but I'd love to see him react to the others. I'll edit my comment :)

[@hororka666]

I am kind of binge watching some of your videos and I wish you would react to Hozier's cover of Whole Lotta Love. He sounds sooooo good there. But like when Hozier does not sound good. He literally has one of the best voices of our generation. Also I am the 800th like ya :D :D :D :D

[@zelbernil3790]

Cannot wait on your Wasteland Baby! reaction video too. He is just unbelievable good isn't he? The writing &the singing & the playing. A real triple threat. Quadruple because he's incredibly hot as well 😍

[@cykakto2099]

Moment's silence. Some songs are in a different EP then the ones he has on the originals

[@aBitChopsyOfLate]

I'm an atheist but I'll believe in Hozier the Forest God for the rest of my life. This performance is so good, it's a religious experience.

I fkn love this song.
