His songs hit differently especially if you're at the point in your life where everything feels numb. It's like a gentle whisper and feels like a spiritual hug. Thank you for working ears and good music.

It's rare that a live performance is better than the studio version but this is definitely one of those instancs

[@riptidemonzarc3103]

Hozier and Chet Faker are both masters at giving live performances that are somehow better than their already-excellent studio recordings

well almost nothing can beat that song

[@andrewkennedy6265]

It's beyond that. It's Magical. And hard to find. Listen to this live years ago. And couldn't find it, until last year.

I can listen to this all day long...

[@katharinao.6825]

That's what I have been doing for 3 days now - and still can't get enough of it!

[@Nataroo88]

best song of life

The first time was 4 month ago. I can't go a day without listening to it (and many more of his, like Cherry Wine...) His music is from another world.

[@blissluminosity]

I have been! Think my roommates are getting irritated...so gorgeous, though...that humming hits me straight in the heart...

***** Have you listened to In A Week? Beautiful. Beautiful and dark.

[@superholly]

goosebumps.

OMG SuperHolly aquí! 🙆🏻‍♂️❤️

[@karielguima]

I get these goosebumps every time...

[@LiberTBo]

A metaphor for mortality, existence, and love all wrapped into one beautiful and challenging spiritual song, that possibly only an Irishman born of immortal suffering might offer up on the alter of "modern music" and for all eternity to be so humble as to suggest that no matter what, love is the one immortal common nature we dare to share in the face of forever existent judgment....

[@whorebag0003]

Ugh keep talking to me

[@ariaa15]

Please say more things.

[@LiberTBo]

aria15 Thank you and I will soon.I'm writing songs right now with my PRS SE 245 Black P-90 but maybe in a few days I'll post a finished song on this site OK? Cheers, RTH

[@ariaa15]

You should definitely do that! Looking forward to hearing your music. :)

[@LiberTBo]

aria15 here is one for you to remember And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple, but now that it's done I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world by Bernie Taupin -Elton John Your Song 1970 ALL there is to know by Terrance Hill You left me with all the sadness, all that a man can bear, I am wandering in a wilderness of self despair Is there any other moment, I can go out on my own, All the holes are gaped and bleeding; I couldn’t take care of all that on my own… These prayers gather and I seem to repeat myself every day, They are bottled up inside me; I put them there on my own Blue bottles line the oak shelf you gave me for my birthday, There is a small heart in colored pen drawn on the back All these fires that I started, did you realize they weren’t all mine, It’s a no fault occurrence, there are others involved Here we stand before s tidal wave, singing songs we composed in our last thoughts Spilling over into tomorrow of the last day holding us together in the final hour I opened up a box of butterflies You watched on as I smiled and played the Montana guitar Rick built as they all passed from view Surely I am never in one place or haunting a place more than a moment or two The days of autumn are fleeing with the butterflies as they move into forever If I ever see you again, please pretend you never have known me There are places in the heart where what is lost forever, is my last place to be me There never is an absence of understanding, a kind word or palace of peace The fool never realizes how love may be lost so easily, because of the fragile beings we are There are strawberries in the garden, a melon colored sky in the afternoon They are questioning the faith in what we are, the song written so lovingly and is now gone Feel the warmth of the exiles as they hide where once we lay There a red plaid blanket lying on the forest floor that we claimed to be ours. For now its only a cry lost to the wind in another time passed into the clouds of yesterday

[@Seirceyourbuddy]

this song goes straight down the spine to resonate in the stomach

[@ravisrivastava4643]

I NEED THIS ON SPOTIFY

[@fret4yourprozac]

This is the best version of this song I've heard. You can see the emotion on his face and hear it in his voice. I'm officially obsessed with this man.

[@WendyMisener]

I'm so nuts for this song. I put it on rotate and sing along while I'm cooking... get goosebumps every time~ Life doesn't get much better than these moments where music fills your head and soul and good food is happening.

[@blissluminosity]

Man, you're beautiful...I think we need to cook and sing this together ;) Just sayin'... ;)

[@WendyMisener]

Jaime Soltys Touched by very kind compliment. The top chef position is already held..grin..and happily too so feeling quite cherished actually ;) Big smile!

[@jeffjeffuk]

Wendy, so wise and I bet you make a mean casserole! I have this song on repeat too,,,,feel myself welling up, just beautiful!! And have just booked my tickets for his gig in Cologne - only €24!! BARGAIN!

[@WendyMisener]

jeffjeffuk Casserole..oh yes, I'm the Queen of One Dish Wonder~deep curtsey.. LOL. Oi, I'm so envious of the Cologne gig. A bit of a haul from Canada...which rather defeats that bargain 24euro pricetag...snicker.

Okay so I don't know if you guys get this feeling when a song or voice is so good it's just this feeling in your stomach and you're just like "God damn that's real" I don't know I could cry and smile and cry again because of his music and the vocals and his background music and his voice in general and yeah this performance is my favorite I don't know there was a lot of emotion in the way he sung this song. His hands were shaking a lot and his facial expressions were different which was perfectly fine and his voice was absolutely brilliant and just magnificently beautiful.

[@zaracikunjau7445]

He looks like hes holding back tears

[@MitchPhillips]

Damn the lyrics of that chorus are beautiful!

[@juleswood52]

did anyone else notice the little high note at 3;13 ?? what a wondrous subtle note change. love him to death

[@danielavaccino682]

Julia Wood that is my absolute favorite part of this performance!

[@elenasgrace]

I’ve known this version of this song for about two years and just noticed. Thank you

[@chaka1045]

The dude is just fucking non human. Its always scary when people are able to sound better live than they do on record. No one should be able to hit notes like that at the end of a performance😂

[@snehalshrestha]

3:13

[@crazygirl9081]

Boys workin on empty Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat? I just think about my baby I'm so full of love I could barely eat There's nothing sweeter than my baby I never want once from the cherry tree Cause my baby's sweet as can be She give me toothaches just from kissin me [Chorus:] When, my, time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her That's when my baby found me I was three days on a drunken sin I woke with her walls around me Nothin in her room but an empty crib And I was burnin up a fever I didn't care much how long I lived But I swear I thought I dreamed her She never asked me once about the wrong I did [Chorus 2x] My baby never fret none About what my hands and my body done If the Lord don't forgive me I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me When I was kissing on my baby And she put her love down soft and sweet In the lowland plot I was free Heaven and hell were words to me [Chorus 2x]

Very few songs stay with you in a way that it can move your soul each time you hear it. Hozier already has a number of them to his credit. His lyrics are genius and his voice soulful. He has been blessed by the gods and I am truly in awe!

[@kakki7571]

it's been almost a decade and this song still hits me within my soul

[@romialuvs1D]

the beauty this man carries brings tears to my eyes he is so soulful and he just oozes pure and raw talented there are SO many musicians that get major attention for singing about ass, hoes, money, strippers, and other pointless things and then there are the very few artist like Hozier here who aren't super mainstream but have actual talent and deserve just as much scratch that more recognition than others aside from him having the gifted voice he has his songs are so powerful and filled with so much passion and MEANING i just cant get enough of him found him a year and a half ago and my love for Andrew is still going strong probably stronger than it was i the beginning

Heard all three songs on Other Voices three weeks ago...haven't stopped searching YT for all his stuff! I'm in my late 50's, like to think I'd know a little bit about music at this stage and, as you say, would compare to anyone we've produced in my opinion...and that's some company!!

Umm💀

[@imalwayzluvinu1202]

my goodness he's incredible! i heard take me to church months ago and thought it was an alex clare song. i heard someone talking about the real meaning of the song and what it represented so i looked it and woah! it wasn't alex clare at all, it was hozier! he's a new, indie artist who sings blues and it irish? i couldn't help myself so i checked out his album and fell completely head over heals in love with not only his voice, but the sensuality and soul of his lyrics. what an incredible talent and at only 24 years old? he sings the songs of a wise man with a lifetime full of heartache and love. thats not something that can be taught. im ashamed at myself for waiting so long to look him up and missing out on an opportunity at seeing him live seeming as he will be in the bay are for three dates next year and all of his shows are completely sold out! truely amazing

[@MaydOfStardust]

You very rarely hear the quality from artists in live versions....but Hozier is a true exception. Amazing

[@zaracikunjau7445]

I love how at 1:01 alex keeps looking at andrew to make sure he's okay.

[@Malaima]

My God, he was so young (2013!!!), and yet his voice is flawless, impressive, powerful as words can't describe. Thank you for existing, HOZIER.

[@EoinDiamond]

I really hope this song makes it onto either an album or the next ep. I absolutely love it.

[@SalmonOfK84]

This guy is... amazing. Like, every single song of his I've heard has been so spot on, so singularly poignant and touching, that I can't think of a single artist right now who I like more. :3

I usually don't cry when listening to music, nor do I cry twice for the same song after having listened to it again in a relatively short time span. This song is one of the few exceptions.
