As others have pointed out, a few of the lyrics were wrong, but in this song he compares all of his past loves to trees in the wood where he chooses to linger to feel the remnants of their love and when a new love comes, she is the flame that sets the wood afire, he is both sad that he cannot feel the love of the past and delighted that he is free of living in the past, a gift the fire of new love gives him and he worships. The man is a poet. There's nothing much else one can say. Heartbreaking and beautifully melancholic while also uplifting in a way that only Hozier can do it.

I went to his concert back in 2019, he opened with this song and I got chills and cried

His lyrics are just amazing, I absolutely love the wood and fire analogy it's so warm and vibrant. That with his voice and the soft guitar is just magical...

He just released another version of Eat Your Young, a choral version. It's amazing!!

Hozier's romantic metaphors are as mesmerizing as his voice. So many layers to discover and enjoy. Love your reaction.

pasting correct lyrics just to compare True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree A willow dancing on air before covering me Under cotton and calicoes Over canopy dappled long ago True that love in withdrawal was the weepin’ of me That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree Must be felled for to fight the cold Fretted fire but that was long ago It’s not tonight (Oh, oh) Where I’m set alight (Oh, oh) And I blink in sight (Oh, oh) Of your blinding light (Oh, oh) Oh, it's not tonight (Oh, oh) Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh) And the fire bright (Oh, oh) Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh) Oh, but you’re good to me, oh, you’re good to me (Oh, oh) Oh, but that you’re good to me, baby (Oh, oh) With the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet Like the ashes of ash, I saw rise in the heat Settled soft and as pure as snow I fell in love with the fire long ago With each love I cut loose, I was never the same Watching still-living roots be consumed by the flame I was fixed on your hand of gold Layin’ waste to my lovin’ long ago But that's not tonight (Oh, oh) Where I’m set alight (Oh, oh) And I blink in sight (Oh, oh) Of your blinding light (Oh, oh) And it's not tonight (Oh, oh) Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh) And the fire bright (Oh, oh) Oh, let it blaze alright, honey (Oh, oh) Oh, but you’re good to me, oh, you’re good to me (Oh, oh) Oh, but you’re good to me, baby (Oh, oh) So in awe, there I stood as you licked off the grain Though I’ve handled the wood, I still worship the flame As long as amber of ember glows All the “would” that I’d loved is long ago And it's not tonight (Oh, oh) Where I'm set alight (Oh, oh) And I blink in sight (Oh, oh) Of your blinding light (Oh, oh) Oh, it's not tonight (Oh, oh) Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh) And the fire bright (Oh, oh) Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh) Oh, you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh) Oh, but you're good to me (Oh, oh) Oh, oh, you're good to me, you're good to me (Oh, oh) Oh, but you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)

Can't wait for you to check out the new EP. Three incredible songs that give you chills in different ways. I haven't stopped listening to it

"What can't he do?" Yeah, my sentiments exactly.

Also - wrong. He can't do wrong.

@thechoice301 Жыл бұрын

when you said what can't he do I immediately recalled back to the live video of to be alone on his channel because that video ALWAYS leaves me utterly dumbfounded by his talent you HAVE TO watch that

@carmen-ig6jd Жыл бұрын

I am so happy you checked out this song!!!! However, this video got so many lyrics wrong and kind of lost the essence of the true meaning. That might be the reason for you being confused. He has quite a number of word plays in this track.

Wonder if it would be helpful for him to listen to the music while reading from the lyrics off genius or smth

He has so much depth and poetic magic!! Love this one!

I highly recommend some more of his self titled album. From Eden is one of my favorite songs of his, so is Someone New.

@justgame5508 Жыл бұрын

Someone new (and From Eden) are incredible songs. Then again Hozier has so many fantastic songs it’s hard to pick just one

Oh man they even got the "wood that I" part wrong 😭😭 come on! Impressed you were still able to get a pretty accurate interpretation with such inaccurate lyrics. Love it ❤

@mab6201 Жыл бұрын

Omg please check out "unknown" by hozier 😭

@zelbernil3790 Жыл бұрын

This is an amazing song tho have to say that the lyrics are inaccurate, glad someone caught it and commented the correct lyrics. It's amazing what he does with layered meanings and alliteration, it's such a delight in the mouth to sing it just to form those words

One of my absolute favorites, and I am now wondering now if I would love it as much if I had first heard it while seeing the wrong lyrics. So many gorgeous lyrics and incredible word play in this one.
