Hozier performed a few songs for commuters at the Rockefeller Center subway stop on 3/6/19 (*Had to be filmed vertical for IGTV vertical platform)

[@roor6846]

The silence from the audience made me think that there was nobody listening, but nobody passing either. The crowd at the end, wow. Not even a cough while Hozier sings. Proud of you as another Irish person to have you representing the talent our country has to offer and our desire to better ourselves. Love your music. I wish you every happiness life can give, thank you for blessing my ears and heart with music.

Irish's singers always have the best vocal cords to sing. My Mother Was born here in United States but her heritage for her Grandmother and Grandfather is Irish :)

The audience is silent because he leaves you speechless... There are no words to describe his stunning work...

[@RoseLilyClover]

I'd be late for work. I'd get there and they'd be like "Where were you?" And I'd say "Hozier was in the subway. You best believe I stood there and waited. No regrets. Now write me up"

This songs harmonies are the reason I sing every damn day I really really really wish to sing with Andrew someday and the whole group and just be able to be apart of those harmonies and be part of the power of the voice of the song

[@ashlynlamb3200]

Cam 100%

[@madhatter9861]

Cam high key better 💯

[@idontneedaname318]

not as clear tho and the claps overpower his voice kinda

[@lewiswood9286]

It's sweet watching them all get down in such a raw setting, no doubt, but i still think the recorded version hits harder. The drums really make it, and being pitched up a key drives the vocals home with more intensity. In my opinion, anyway. But this is still a treat for the ears.

[@kaycee1042]

This is super good but the recorded version just feels so much more powerful

[@marleneb.2425]

Orpheus is real and hes singing in subways

[@ducklingreads]

Subways are one step closer to the underworld basically.

[@AlexSmith-lg5ll]

That's a bad example considering what happened last time he sang beneath the earth, but on the other hand he might be singing here so his voice echoes all the way down to his love

That must be why im getting emotional

[@evar.1044]

Every time he stands up on his tippy toes my heart smiles a bit. Andrew, sir, you’re already very tall. I don’t know what the extra four inches are doing you. But it’s cute, don’t stop.

[@noone4962]

he’s actually using a technique commonly used among vocalists. physically lifting your body helps in reaching higher notes.

[@dhruvramani28]

Suzanne Santo (the violinist) is so underrated. Hats off to her.

I'm convinced she can play every instrument along with having an incredible voice. Actually everyone in Andrew's band is insanely talented.

[@do3258]

I watched an interview with him and he talked a bit about his Quaker upbringing when he was a child and said the main thing he took away from it is that there is the spark of the divine, the light of God in every individual. And I think it shows in his music. The vocals, lyrics, beat, it all comes together to go right into your soul and make you want to weep. He's a gem.
