Thanks for getting along to this one i requested! amazing video as always

[@rowanlyle3642]

i realize it is quite off topic but do anyone know of a good site to watch new series online?

[@jairobraden3744]

@Rowan Lyle Flixportal :)

[@rowanlyle3642]

@Jairo Braden thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it!!

[@jairobraden3744]

@Rowan Lyle happy to help xD

[@melinafranco7884]

FINALLY a reactor that RECOGNIZES how poetic Hozier's lyrics are! I'd love to see you react to more of his work! I feel like you'd enjoy a lot of it, given your reaction to this song! Definitely subscribing and keeping an eye out for more!

[@calebprevatte7531]

If you want to do more Hozier, Cherry Wine, Movement, and No Plan are three of my favorites! Enjoyed this one!

[@texasseastar]

Hozier is easily one of the best new artists to come along in recent years. His songs are often dark and brooding. And they're haunting in the best way. Take Me to Church is his breakout single that you've probably heard. Watch the video, but be warned - it will gut you. Other great songs: Cherry Wine, Work Song, Someone New, Nina Cried Power, Almost (Sweet Music). Really any song by him is good - he's just got a sound and vibe you can listen to for hours.

[@nathanhall9345]

Maybe my favorite part-- "As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn" He's obviously singing from the perspective of that shrike, and how it must view the thorn that helps protect it and that it uses to eat. Almost as a holy object.

[@khloeg1649]

I'm so happy to see you enjoying this song!! this is my favorite hozier song, it truly is so beautiful for some further context, a shrike is a small bird of prey that makes its living among thorn bushes and barbed wire fences, which protect them, and they also feed by killing small animals and hanging them on the thorns and barbed wire, which is quite gruesome, but they really are beautiful birds. and this is the reason behind all the references to birds in this song, singing like a bird about it now, flying like a bird to you now, etc. and also the references to death/hanging, like a cry at the final breath that is drawn, back to the head rows where bodes are mounted, hung like a pelt of some prey you had won, etc. because that's what the shrike does. so what the line "remember me love when I'm reborn as a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn" basically means is the object of affection in this song is dangerous right, they're being compared to a thorn bush, but the speaker in the song has a unique way of making that danger into something that's useful for them and necessary to their survival. it is true poetry and more people should know this song.

[@giovannavick8450]

Pls react more to hozier. Love your reactions

[@thefablesphere]

Thanks so much and I will absolutely do so ☺️❤️

[@tiafielding]

My favorite Hozier song is Arsonist's Lullaby which is a bonus track on his first album. Anything from him you'd probably like a lot. Nina Cried Power is amazing, given the times we live in right now, but Take Me to Church that someone else already suggested is incredible too. In general, react to more Hozier, please. :D

[@katherinemorelle7115]

It’s my favourite song too, but nobody has ever reacted to it.

[@sanaashaikh4463]

No at 4:43 is not about how the lover is a thorn, its because shrike is a bird that kills its prey and sticks it on thorns to eat later. He wants to be reborn as a THORN to the lover's SHRIKE. That's how goddamn powerful this is

[@katherinemorelle7115]

It’s the other way around- he’ll be reborn as a shrike to his lover’s sharp and glorious thorn.

[@procyontrainingservicehors2420]

I think it's more along the way that he'll be reborn as a shrike that recognizes and uses the importance of the thorn. He's saying he now recognizes how important she was now that she's gone.

[@chocotaco269]

In a week, Like real people do, cherry wine, and work song are so good! Honestly you can't go wrong with any of his stuff but seriously in a week is so good

[@carladlt4683]

You literally listed all my favorites by him!!!

[@TheCikero]

Just listen his both albums. They are gold.

[@ambrosehillsims]

You should check out his version of this song from RTE Late Late Show recorded in support of ISPCC Childline. It is STUN-NING. He adds lots of flourishes etc. and his accent REALLY comes out. It is so beautiful. And if you really like his guitar style and playing, check out his “Rain Over Raleigh” intro for his song Wasteland Baby!

[@CloakedSchemer06]

I don’t know why this doesn’t have more views! Love your reaction to Hozier! Plus you really listen to the music and words. I confess I have to listen to Hozier a few times to parse meaning, but you were able to pick up meaning and metaphors right away. If your schedule isn’t too busy, I would love to see more Hozier reactions from you! Really any of his songs because they are all good and other comments have listed good ones, but for my suggestion I would say From Eden, or In a Week. Just bc I’ve not seen very many people react to those ones before, and I think you would appreciate the words and sound. Anyways, have a good day!

[@estellemerchant188]

Completely get the “find yourself while getting lost” driving vibe you mentioned. such a reflective song! and what better way to accompany it than with the delicate guitar lines and sharp vocals. It’s a crazy poetic song and Hozier lyrical ability is amazing, he conveys such pure emotion almost effortlessly. Glad to know i’ve given you a new song/artist to add to your library! loving the reaction

[@estellemerchant188]

If you want to look more into hozier, wether that be through reactions or just on your own time! i would recommend; Angel of small death & the codeine scene, movement and jackie and wilson!

[@estellemerchant188]

and how could i forget! To be alone too (particularly good if you like guitars ;) )

[@kathleenhardy4011]

I’m always so glad when people really get it.

[@aaronmoen7402]

The Irish deliver on all fronts when it comes to music... most of the time 😛

[@mckinleyuntamed]

Great reaction! Id love to see more Hozier content, he is really amazing and his lyrics are incredibly multi-dimensional and powerful. My favorite artist of all time.

[@kiraparson2746]

My favorite thing about Hozier is that every song is literally a poem put to music

[@SHad8312]

I think you would really enjoy 'Work Song' by Hozier! Blew me away first time I heard it!

[@laylaorsborne2779]

Please please please do some more Hozier!💕

[@mindyrussodavis6760]

Dinner and Diatribes and Jackboot Jump by Hozier are two song that absolutely slap on the guitar melodies! OMG, pleeeeeease do them. Talk.... 🤤 if erudite seduction were a song, bruh. NFWMB is a low-key guitar and vocal beast too. Almost (Sweet Music) has a gorgeous guitar hook and name drops all the inspirational greats throughout. Do it alllllll, just everythang, you will not be disappointed! ❤

[@alexandraduque3779]

Loved your reaction. This is my favourite song at the moment and I loved seeing your reaction and interpretation

[@resipsaloquitur13]

Most just make sounds and noise with their voice. Few among us can actually make music with it.

[@resipsaloquitur13]

Our voices are basically percussive string instruments, if you will. So, I think it wouldn’t be outrageous to hear a little of ourselves in man-made string instruments. If feels familiar and comfortable because you hear it all day, every day… but not usually this beautifully.

[@liazerman6563]

Hozier is such an amazing artist you should react to cherry wine, Nona cried power or take me to church amazing!!! ❤️❤️

[@melodymoonchild8349]

If you want more Hozier suggestions, I highly recommend NFWMB - the lyrics are truly out of this world!

[@sarahanderson8635]

Love Hozier!! His big hit is Take Me to Church. The video is super powerful though people watch it and assume the song is about homosexuality. However, the song is about the church's condemnation of sexuality in general. You should watch/listen but definitely knowing the background before is a must, I feel.

[@justrandom5971]

also i really really hope you some day do sleeping at last - Saturn it's a very beautiful writing and also his voice is pretty nice

[@thefablesphere]

Will absolutely do that.. ☺️❤️ added to the list. ☺️

[@justrandom5971]

@@thefablesphere thank you so much ☺️❤️

[@frankkorfanta6623]

Fun review! I think you are SPOT ON! THX!

[@riodelizo9120]

hope you could do WOULD THAT I... I dont understand y this song doesnt have much recognition

[@jen5803]

I think it’s about thinking about an ex then comparing your new love to them, the ex is the wood that burns the fire of the new love

[@riodelizo9120]

@@jen5803 that woudl be "Sweet Music" but I can totally see what you mean!

[@1laurelei1]

Shrike and Would That I are my two faves... along with pretty much everything else Hozier's ever uttered.

[@lewisgriffiths6484]

Just to add a Shrike is a bird that kills its prey on the thorns of hedgerows/trees hence the bodies mounted/sharp and glorious thorn lines. the metaphor is perfect no?

[@user-ws8xe3sn4e]

So beautiful! Thanks!

[@wendyraymond1751]

Really was absolutely beautiful loved this thanku so much gorgeous ..thanku for all the wonderful uploads all your hardwork love an god bless x

[@YahushasDisciple]

Your reactions make me cry. Pure and nothing remains in you afterwards... beautiful.

[@chadvacek9447]

Your reaction was well delivered! Nicely done. Loved it. .

[@kurohana1476]

Thank you for reacting to Hozier! He's absolutely brilliant, an amazing singer, player and peot.. he deserves so much more credits than what he gets. If you're willing to react to more songs from him, I suggest Nina Cried Power, To Be Alone, Work Song, In A Week and Cherry Wine.. (all of his songs, tbf, but I had to choose a few).

[@sanaashaikh4463]

Arguably one of his most lyrically powerful songs, after NFWMB of course

[@amani9350]

All of his songs are amazing but these are among the most poetic and I don't see them mentioned in the comments : Talk (a gem my favorite) and Sunlight; also worth mentioning is his cover of Do I Wanna Know (it's a BBC live, just glorious) !

[@carladlt4683]

My FAVORITE song by Hozier! Love the video your reactions are amazing !

[@justrandom5971]

niceee doing new people 🙌

[@eugenefarrell1002]

Great Reaction

[@DeeDee80]

It's a shame that most people only know him for "Take Me To Church", he's so much more than that song. A great story-teller with an angelic voice. I am so glad I managed to see him live, it was such a special experience. I would recommend to react to his live session for "It Will come Back" kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6utgWWonLh8m8U . It's so beautiful and raw that it always gives me chills. If you want to see a very cool video for an amazing song, react to "Movement" kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYTclmuFhJqHoa8

[@chriswhamilton]

For Island Fires And Family by Dermot Kennedy will be another 10 on all criteria. Dermot and Hozier are two of the best lyricists in the game right now.

[@ojasvigaude5066]

Agreed

[@jazzzzz2500]

"Nina Cried Power" by Hozier and Mavis Staples... live or the official video... both are beautifully done!

[@AmalaFrequents]

You looked like I feel when I hear Hozier lyrics. He has poetry like no other.

[@scojin]

That line shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn could also be what you said but also shrikes are meat eating bird that kill lizards and rodents and impale them on thornbushes and eat them off the thorns

[@ojasvigaude5066]

Please do Cherry Wine by Hozier. I'm really looking forward to your reaction to it. The way you see things is really beautiful. And the guitar is going to blow your mind. All of Hozier's songs will.

[@Cassandra6]

Hozier has some gems for sure

[@SHad8312]

Love Hozier, hope you do more! 💙 You've got to check out his performance of Take Me to Church in the NY subway, it's🔥

[@liazerman6563]

Can you do falling from harry styles? Please❤️❤️

[@justastranger9868]

Shrike to your glorious thorn, as in the Bird, the Shrike, would impale it's victims on thorns and branches

[@Jewelz4360]

Love Hozier- Take me to church, Work song and Like real people do!

[@shaneanddeirdrekelly]

The Shrike is a small bird that uses thorns and barbed wire to kill its prey because it's beak is too small. Look it up. He's the Shrike. She became his prey because he was too immature to deserve her. X

[@daryaross4366]

OMFG can’t believe it’s real. My favourite reactor reacts to one of my fav songs of all time. Literally heartbroken 💔

[@thefablesphere]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Milo-os7ri]

Please do In a Week. That INE is so beautiful and lovely and poetic and just grea

[@livia2770]

Could you react to a very unknown artist actually, called Tamino (either Habibi or Indigo Night songs), he´s from Belgium but his familys from Egypt, so his songs have a great influence and ITS BEAUTIFUL. him and hozier have my heart

[@soniachapple3141]

If you love guitar ... you should watch Andrew (Hozier) play. He’s got a unique way of plucking the guitar, esp this song. Some of my faves are Cherry Wine, Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene , Dinner and Diatribes, Almost (sweet music). Check out both of his albums ... he truly is one of a kind. Ethereal, majestic and utterly mesmerising to watch esp live 💕😉

[@whatstheproblem5552]

Hi Fil, nice reaction as always. I'd like to recommend Labrinth - No ordinary, Noah Kahan - False confidence 👌

[@makaylataylor8600]

Please do Hozier's Take Me To Church and Cherry Wine music videos!

[@robynvannieuwenhuizen5211]

If you're looking for another poem from him - look at 'In a Week'

[@tinywife8070]

hozier !!! try Take Me To Church you will love it !!! great reation as always .

[@SlashArmyPL]

Alter Bridge - My Champion (this song is perfect for you, plus the video fits your channel like any other on the planet :D). You gotta check Myles Kennedy solo work aswell, songs like 'Ghosts of Shangri La' or 'Love Can Only Heal' from "Year of the TIger" album will blow your mind. Entire record is almost a concept one, each song from no. 1 to no. 12 tells a story about Myles getting through the loss of his father when he was just a child... And it's almos entirely acoustic, with some steel guitar here and there, few solos on an electric, and that's it. Not to mention he recorded almost 50 songs with motherfreakin' Slash! If you need any hints 'bout that, just reply ;)

[@smileyfacesheens123]

loved this! react to some songs from taylor swifts album folklore ! (the lakes is beautiful, seven as well, cardigan has a music video and is gorgeous - all great songs)

[@otsilekutumela6837]

You gave me new appreciation for this song! Reminds me why I love Hozier sooo much!! Ps: if you love guitars so much I suggest you take a listen to Niall Horan, he loves playing that instrument very much. Flicker, This town, and most of his songs are sang with it! You won't regret giving him a chance if you do..

[@BlackVeilDiscoRoyaleInReverse]

Hey, I have a reaction request for you 😁😊🤗 Can you react to the songs "The Martyr", "Soul like me", and "Feast or Famine" by the Artist Andy Black? It's from the Album "Ghost of Ohio" I'm a big fan of him and his band (I'm also a big fan of you) so I will give u a little info on who he is: His name is Andy Biersack and he is the lead vocalist of the band BVB (Black Veil Brides). Andy Black is his side music project in which he creates music more about himself and about the people in his life. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Black Veil Brides and I also really like Any Black's music and I LOVE to see KZbinrs react to them. I hope you take in my request and react to them soon 😊🤗💖💖 ,A big fan of your's
