Hozier - Young Americans (David Bowie Tribute) Live Birmingham 02/01/16

[@glendakurkimaki5834]

I feel that I have to comment, again. As musicians pass, one by one, my generation is saddened, as are generations before me. The best of the best for me is Freddie, Bowie, Prince, Tom Petty. To never hear their voice or hear new music makes me feel nostalgic. However, once in a lifetime someone special comes around, once in a lifetime and you get chills each and every time you hear his voice. Andrew is that person. I am so blessed to live in his time.

[@maddietravers8318]

I was 16 when I was in this room hearing him play this live, I was in awe. I rediscover it every year or so and it blows my mind every time. Such a masterpiece of a song, only made more heart wrenching by this beautiful cover. So beautiful.

[@PoppsPoppin]

my my... Hozier, what have you done to me?... I can't stop listening to you... I just can't... I'm going insane, I've been so unproductive in the past 2 weeks and a half binging around your songs and covers.

[@MistyinLouisiana]

Kristina Paula Fabillar I feel your pain. except it's been, like, over a year for me. :( Lol

[@demirhazan]

Same here .... addicted to his voice and his soul... such a blessed human being

[@springberry007]

Have you seen him live yet? It's... a spiritual experience to say the least.

[@glendakurkimaki5834]

@@springberry007 I saw him in August. I felt like I was being seduced!

[@springberry007]

@@glendakurkimaki5834 RIGHT? I'm seeing him three times in a week, in three different states in October. I feel like a groupie but I really don't care. He's just that good.

[@gabspencil]

Best cover of young americans I've ever heard

[@alextan359]

Fine tribute, with an interesting interpretation of a particular Bowie era song.

[@amandafeliciano542]

Every new song I find from him is a whole emotional experience....he is a treasure!

thank you so much for putting this out into the world i am eternally greatful.

[@rosetarver2551]

Great tribute to Bowie!

[@mangoo9956]

I fall in love with him everyday ♥♥♥

[@mattymccarthy2486]

so underestimated. this is the best musician on the planet. covering one of the best songs written. I've not heard a bad cover or original from him.

[@cassandrapulliam6441]

Ditto💞

[@CSM100MK2]

that can't possibly be true and you sound ignorant as fuck.

[@carolynvanasse3664]

One of my favorite Bowie songs, in love with this cover! Thank you Hozier!

[@tashazalinski5250]

Chills! I’m just getting into Hozier’s music and he’s incredible. David Bowie has been someone I’ve idolised since I was a child. He was the greatest songwriter of all time. This is beautiful.

[@GingerKC]

Oh my God! When I think I've heard Hozier, I find another brilliant, amazing, stunning cover. I can't explain what you've done for me. I simply adore you! You are my heart. My all time fav, and that is saying something. I never thought anyone could be in that position, cuz I've loved these others so long in my long life. Then you came along and stole my heart. God Bless You Andrew!!!! And Thank You! Mind blown again by you. ♡♡♡

[@lillybetb488]

I didn't manage to record the whole song when I saw him. It truly is an amazing tribute to the legend that is Bowie!!

[@kristalynnmertz]

You're so lucky to have seen this performance - so good!

[@kristalynnmertz]

I want our lives back. :( Would love to see him in concert someday.

[@daisygirl3182]

I grew up with David Bowie’s music and was very skeptical about this cover, well done!! Well done!!!

[@ElaniMichelle]

This is beautiful

[@2010woodcutter]

Only word for Hozier's tribute cover Amazing!

[@hanami741]

how come i haven't listened to this cover yet. If i didn't know other artists ever existed, i would think it's all Hozier's cause he makes those covers just sound that way. It should be all on Spotify, One huge cover album. C'mon Andy

[@GreenMMs100]

Weezer did an album full of covers, hozier can do it too

[@glendakurkimaki5834]

Omg such a beautiful! I can't think of anyone better to do this tribute!

[@flaviaromano9834]

What a good cover Hozier ! Bravo !

[@blackbox8697]

Lyrics They pulled in just behind the bridge He lays her down, he frowns Gee my life's a funny thing, am I Still too young? He kissed her then and there She took his ring, took his babies It took him minutes, took her nowhere Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but All night She wants the young American Young American, young American She wants the young American All right She wants the young American Scanning life through the picture window She finds the slinky vagabond He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang, but Heaven forbid, she'll take anything But the freak, and his type, all for nothing He misses a step and cuts his hand, but Showing nothing, he swoops like a song She cries "Where have all Papa's heroes gone?" All night She wants the young American Young American, young American She wants the young American All right She wants the young American All the way from Washington Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor We live for just these twenty years Do we have to die for the fifty more? All night He wants the young American Young American, young American He wants the young American All right He wants the young American Do you remember, your President Nixon? Do you remember, the bills you have to pay? Or even yesterday? All night You want the young American Young American, young American You want the young American All right You want the young American You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache (I heard the news today, oh boy) I got a suite and you got defeat Ain't there a man who can say no more? And, ain't there a woman I can Sock on the jaw? And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging? Ain't there a pen that will write before they die? Ain't you proud that you've still got faces? Ain't there one damn song that can make me Break down and cry? All night I want the young American Young American, young American I want the young American All right I want the young American Young American Young American, young American I want the young American All night You and I I want you I Young American, young American I want the young American All right I want the young American Young American, young American I want the young American All night

Oh my, this is so moving. Thank you Hozier for getting this so very right 😭🖤

[@Revelian1982]

That was exceptional.

[@rayray7561]

Wonderful. Love that it is fully acoustic. Mr. Bowie's passing hit me especially hard, mainly because this song was such a part of my life some 40 years ago. Thanks for posting.

[@glendakurkimaki5834]

I was a huge Bowie fan. That being said, Andrew is so talented, so intelligent, so sexy...and he doesn't even know it!

If he reads anything on the internet he knows how people feel about him

[@comefindme460]

A lot of people are gonna hate me but I like it better than the original. Theres not one cover this mans done that wasn't just amazing!

[@brandenkeith8352]

+Mitch Wydeven yea but that's not hoziers style. His style is way better to me. He's kinda got a soul rock thing goin on

[@comefindme460]

+Branden Keith I totally agree and I thought Bowies was a little jumbled Hozier brings so much structure and feeling to the song

[@ysalimirii]

this is a fine cover but Bowie's original just resonates and transcends because of the Plastic Soul touch Bowie coined and put on it. out of context it may sound jumbled but the entire Young Americans album is pure gold and is meant to be listened to front front to back.

[@jonasdias1202]

What he say at 00:21 ?

[@orlandy101]

'I hope you enjoy it... This is obviously one of David bowie's. It's not one of mine'

[@nataliyahbravomusic]

"This is obviously one of David Bowie's, it's not one of mine"

[@alexcampbell3469]

I'm sure he said "This is "Shameless the Musical"."

[@floppyd0g]

Makes poor old Gaga's efforts look even more pointless.

[@sf5823]

+floppyd0g Why is everyone hating on Gaga? Come on man she did a fantastic tribute to him. It was creative and funny and over the top. Bowie was always about costumes and stage performance ok so she might not be able to sing like Bowie, noone can sing like Bowie ( even Bowie impersonators) he was so unique but he had a fantastic sense of humour, a fantastic sense of drama and he was very different and always rebelling against the norm...I think he would have liked it and found humour in it.

[@Aquatackgirl]

Both Gaga and Hozier were amazing 😍

[@johnallencrist.delosreyes9491]

floppyd0g I'm a fan of Gaga and Hozier. They are very interesting artists. Not to mention soulful!

[@stacyaugust8241]

@@sf5823 - Gaga's Bowie "tribute" was a horrible OTT mess. It was like she was trying to ruin as many Bowie songs as she could in under 5 minutes. If you want to see a fine tribute from a singer's singer then check out Christina Aguilera doing It's A Man's Man's World as part of the James Brown tribute about 8 years ago. It's a mic drop - not people wishing her mic would drop out.

[@sf5823]

Stacy August I'm a fan of Christina Aguilera's voice, very powerful, bet that's good, cheers will do. Like a bit if humor too xx

Hozier does Bowie better than Bowie, too bad Bowie could not hear this!

was better , purer in the beginning without the nursing home hand clapping, his voice and guitar has the soul and could have nailed it without this...
