I just finished listening to him reading poetry. He really is like a creature who bridges the ancient with the modern, the classical with contemporary. I imagine he has no idea how unusual he is. In these dark and fraught times, he shines with intelligence, kindness, humor, pure intention.
What a lovely to describe him. What a gift he is. He has pulled me from the pits of depression so many times I can't count. I love him with my entire heart and soul.
as someone who used to work in stage lights for my highschool, seeing the blue light slowly turn to a red/golden glow when he began playing as if it WERE sunlight was 👌👌👌 heavenly
Why, oh WHY doesn't he perform this song more often😭. It's so beautiful and lovely and makes me dance and cry at the same time. So many emotions. Can we please beg him to sing Sunlight more😩
I would shun the light, share in evening's cool and quiet Who would trade that hum of night for Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight But whose heart would not take flight Betray the moon as acolyte On first and fierce affirming sight Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight I had been lost to you, sunlight Flew like a moth to you, sunlight oh sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight All the tales the same Told before and told again A soul that's born in cold and rain knows Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight At last can grant a name To a buried and a burning flame As love and its decisive pain, oh my Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight All that was shown to me, sunlight Was something foreknown to me, sunlight oh sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight, sunlight All these colors fade for you Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight All these colors fade for you Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight Each day you'd rise with me Know that I would gladly be The Icarus to your certainty Oh my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight Strap the wing to me Death trap clad happily With wax melted, I'd meet the sea Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
I love this song so much. After my brother passed away in February, I listened to this song on repeat and I think it's one of the only things that got me through my grief. It sounds beautiful live 🥰
Trying to get the cords right on the verse Verse: F#m - B9 - E - A (5th on E string) - D7 - C#7 - E - A - F#m I'm not really sure on D7. I've tried D7 in 5th position on the A- and the G-string, then 4th for the D-string and 3rd for the B-string.
I just found a tab version that goes Em-A9-D-G-C7-B7-D- G-Em. I also read that the original is in Gm, so capo 1 with your chords or capo 3 with mine. I play most the chords with a barre up one position but I play the C7 barred at the 3rd.
Thank you so much for recording this song ! I am so in love with this song and i was waiting so hard for a live version and it's so beautiful: the guitar; the violin, his voice ❤
“Each day you rise with me Know that I would gladly be The Icarus to your certainty. Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight… Strap the wings to me Death-trap-clad, happily. With wax melted, I’d meet the sea. Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight. Those are some incredibly powerful lyrics. Breathtakingly deep and complex.
This is a truly masterpiece, I just can't stop listening to this wonderful song... I feel energised by it, I wish I had a love so beautiful and powerful like the sunlight
I would shun the light, share in evening's cool and quiet Who would trade that hum of night for Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight But whose heart would not take flight Betray the moon as acolyte On first and fierce affirming sight Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight I had been lost to you, sunlight Flew like a moth to you, sunlight oh sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight All the tales the same Told before and told again A soul that's born in cold and rain knows Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight At last can grant a name To a buried and a burning flame As love and its decisive pain, oh my Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight All that was shown to me, sunlight Was something foreknown to me, sunlight oh sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight, sunlight All these colors fade for you Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight All these colors fade for you Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight Each day you'd rise with me Know that I would gladly be The Icarus to your certainty Oh my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight Strap the wing to me Death trap clad happily With wax melted, I'd meet the sea Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight) But it is sunlight Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Andrew Hozier Byrne
You could make a religion out of this
lapis dabs why haven’t we already?
Hozierisim
Where do I sign up?
I will join happily
Bill Wurtz reference intensifies
the woman singing backup vocals is a literal angel, she truly highlighted hozier's vocals perfectly, but also was able to stand out herself

OMG!!! You put it into words ❤ i always had those realizations too
Oh he knows he knows
What a lovely to describe him. What a gift he is. He has pulled me from the pits of depression so many times I can't count. I love him with my entire heart and soul.
im sobbing. he finally performed this song.
Me too it’s my favorite
@@laelae2408 i wonder why he doesnt perfom it, this was the only time 😭😭😭
Stephanie sunday honestly I really don’t know
Thanks for the comment my great fan 👍
I am scouring TH-cam for a live of this song and I’m really disappointed by how little he performs this. I wonder why 😭
as someone who used to work in stage lights for my highschool, seeing the blue light slowly turn to a red/golden glow when he began playing as if it WERE sunlight was 👌👌👌 heavenly
Why, oh WHY doesn't he perform this song more often😭. It's so beautiful and lovely and makes me dance and cry at the same time. So many emotions. Can we please beg him to sing Sunlight more😩
okay hozier sounds amazing as always but that woman singing backup is ethereal
I wish he performed this song live more. It's one of my favourites 🥺
It's my favorite of his!
I would shun the light, share in evening's cool and quiet
Who would trade that hum of night for
Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
But whose heart would not take flight
Betray the moon as acolyte
On first and fierce affirming sight
Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
I had been lost to you, sunlight
Flew like a moth to you, sunlight oh sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight)
But it is sunlight
All the tales the same
Told before and told again
A soul that's born in cold and rain knows
Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
At last can grant a name
To a buried and a burning flame
As love and its decisive pain, oh my
Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
All that was shown to me, sunlight
Was something foreknown to me, sunlight oh sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight)
But it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight)
But it is sunlight, sunlight
All these colors fade for you
Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
All these colors fade for you
Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
Each day you'd rise with me
Know that I would gladly be
The Icarus to your certainty
Oh my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
Strap the wing to me
Death trap clad happily
With wax melted, I'd meet the sea
Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight)
But it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight)
But it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight)
But it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight)
But it is sunlight
Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
I love how he changed to “Love’s decesive pain” in this
I am so, so happy there is live version of this finally. This is one of my favorites from the new album and doesn't get enough love!
He is criminally underrated
I love this song so much. After my brother passed away in February, I listened to this song on repeat and I think it's one of the only things that got me through my grief. It sounds beautiful live 🥰
Zoë Garrett Sorry for your loss! What a beautiful thing to help you though. ❤️
I think the Irish angels come help deliver this song; without a doubt they arrived with healing for you. x
Thanks a lot for the comment my great fan 👍
I could listen to this for hours...
Sunlight is such an underrated song and I wish it wasn't.
I live for the day when I"ll be able to listen to this guy perform infront of me.
I am in the mood to love this man.
Trying to get the cords right on the verse
Verse:
F#m - B9 - E - A (5th on E string) - D7 - C#7 - E - A - F#m
I'm not really sure on D7. I've tried D7 in 5th position on the A- and the G-string, then 4th for the D-string and 3rd for the B-string.

[whispers] I like this better than the album version.
I have never heard a song like that!! I will die if i listen to it one more time.
But dieing is still worth it!
I had been lost to you, sunlight
And flew like a moth to you, sunlight, oh, sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
You know he's good when this video has been out for almost 7 months and has *0* dislikes
oh my god the instrumental on this plus the live vocals,,
The women’s sound in the background makes it 10x better
I can listen to this a million times and not get tired
the girl sings fantastic
I love him so much it’s insane
This song is lovely I can almost feel the warmth of the sun,love your voice Hozier.
My heart started racing when the strings came in at the end. Holy...... So so good

Thank you so much for recording this song ! I am so in love with this song and i was waiting so hard for a live version and it's so beautiful: the guitar; the violin, his voice ❤
He played it live for the first time yesterday in Frankfurt and it was so beautiful!
... all that was shown to me ... Sunlight ... oh your love is Sunlight ... your love is Sunlight ...Oh ! But it is Sunlight !
I re-watch this everyday and that one dislike is eating me alive.
[Edit: Six dislikes!? Get out]
Did anyone else notice his shirt is buttoned wrong? lol.
The shirt wasn't buttoned but the guitar made it look like that I think.
@@Sharonnetje89 whatever... He is so special and we love everything about him... 😊👌🌺❤️🙏
Maybe the rest of us are doing it wrong.
Awww
This is the song I listen to when the flight I'm on is taking off. It makes it so relaxing.
this performance gives the song such different vibes than the of song and honestly, i am all for it
“Each day you rise with me
Know that I would gladly be
The Icarus to your certainty.
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight…
Strap the wings to me
Death-trap-clad, happily.
With wax melted, I’d meet the sea.
Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight.
Those are some incredibly powerful lyrics. Breathtakingly deep and complex.
Why he doesnt perfom this more often 😭😭

All these colors fade for you only
#lesbian except 4 andrew

Anyone who knows the chords of this song? Pls 😭
Ohoo Sulight ...
who would trade the hum of night for sunlight?
DeezNutz
@@u.r.i.a.h. lmao
does someone have the chords? I can't find the original ones
The solid sponge undeniably recognise because charles bizarrely post than a tested philippines. insidious, wrong underpants
The small mallet expectantly sip because innocent naively exist unlike a nonchalant canvas. decisive, opposite surgeon
I would shun the light, share in evening's cool and quiet
Who would trade that hum of night for
Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
But whose heart would not take flight
Betray the moon as acolyte
On first and fierce affirming sight
Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
I had been lost to you, sunlight
Flew like a moth to you, sunlight oh sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight (sunlight, sunlight)
