Fun fact: Bogman means a body that is preserved in peat grounds. Had an Irishman tell me this is a bit of an insult. But I have no clear understanding yet
I mean it's not exactly an insult (speaking as a british person) it's just a bit weird to call someone out of context. The worse it could imply is that they are homeless or unkempt and I don't think hozier would have much of an issue with that
I know that quite a few of the most well-preserved bog bodies where likely dumped in the bog after being executed (see here: www.britannica.com/list/9-noteworthy-bog-bodies-and-what-they-tell-us) so maybe calling someone a “bog man” is synonymous with being a criminal or that they should be dumped in a bog. Idk I just think they are neat
Does anyone feel like this song gives the feeling like I was on a solo hike in the woods only to trip along the path and sprain my ankle badly, only to be found by a lone man who heard my cries through the trees, who takes me back to his isolated cabin to nurse me back to health since the lack of phone signal means it's nearly impossible to get anyone out here to get me, and so begins a week of intimate cohabitation with nothing but the wind through the leaves and the space between us in bed (because OF COURSE there's only one bed, and he lives alone so naturally we just have NO CHOICE but to share it and conserve heat in the cabin), but it's the end of the week and my ankle is feeling well enough for the hike back so he decides he'll send me off the next morning, but in the meantime, we've got a fire, a storm approaching, and a guitar, so perhaps he'll entertain me with a song since we'll be parting ways soon when I'm hit with the notion that maybe, just maybe, I don't want to leave. No? Just me? Okay.
Genuinely, this right here, this comment shows that I did my job and communicated the vibe correctly and sufficiently. Absolutely hands down the best comment I've ever received on any work I've ever made.
@@mercutiglo Happy to oblige you with my cottage core fantasies of being accidentally romanced by a tender hearted mountain man who lives in the mountains! :D
It rather feels like the relationship y'all get into after getting out of one uk uhm as a way to forget everything else. I just love how he conveys different messages through this romantic theme uhm if that makes sense. Lyrical genius he is!
This video is everything. It merely confirms my suspicions that Hozier is, in fact, some kind of sprite who has assumed human form and has chosen to live among us.
am I the only one who gets a feeling from this song like you had a nightmare and your partner is comforting you on the couch with a fire singing to you while it rains outside but you feel safe as they hug you while you start to fast into a deep sleep from how safe you feel just to wake up in their arms as your reminded of the night before smiling. Just me? oof-
this context is litterally something that happens in a story of mine, like theyre in a cottage, it raining, its nighttime, theres a fire and theyre all in a circle listening to my girl sing, you made it a reality, thank you
This reminds me of roadtrips with my parents that I had as a kid. My dad with his guitar, little me sitting in my mother's warm embrace as she sings along. I miss that
I’m so sorry if anyone is experiencing something difficult or emotionally challenging right now. Just stay positive and hang in there. Whatever it is will pass in time and life will get better. You are loved
@@timetribe while it obviously has stuff over it, listen to the barn on the farm version, it opens with the picking slowly on all the strings and has a more raw sound than the album
A guy i used to know played this for me and since he was a beginner at the time, it meant he took his time to learn it. It was really sweet cus he remembered that i love hozier even after a while of not speaking to each other. Hope he's doing well
this is so soothing and homey. thank you. really feels like the description. dream is to sit at a campfire with hozier and have him sing to me. intimate concert type thing. andrew please
I feel like I’ve hiked through the highlands and meet up with fellow hiker hozier and as we sit in the mountains underneath the trees with the fire crackling he sings this
Okay, hear me out, fan fic idea: someone playing guitar in the middle of the woods, and accidentally awaken an ancient forest king (Hozier), moved by their song. He never wanted to be king, but did it for his family.
~{Lyrics}~ I had a thought, dear However scary About that night The bugs and the dirt Why were you digging? What did you bury Before those hands pulled me From the earth? I will not ask you where you came from I will not ask and neither will you Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips We should just kiss like real people do I knew that look dear Eyes always seeking Was there in someone That dug long ago So I will not ask you Why you were creeping In some sad way I already know I would not ask you where you came from I would not ask and neither would you Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips We should just kiss like real people do I could not ask you where you came from I could not ask and neither could you Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips We could just kiss like real people do
I think the look line means "That familiar look you have, the look of ever-seeking eyes, it was there in someone else who also pulled me from the earth a long time ago".
Awesome video. Thank you so much for this. Makes me want to curl up in a corner of the cabin with a good book while he strums away on his guitar.

The way this song reads to me always stirs my brain. Hozier says he was inspired by the idea of someone digging up a body and falling in love with it and you can definitely read that from the lyrics but there's more. It obviously told from the perspective of the one who was dead and brings up questions the diggers motives but kinda dismisses them saying "we should just kiss like real people do". So the way i view this is someone desperate for love going and saving/fixing someone, metaphorically pulling them from the grave. But ultimately the digger cannot love the one theu brought back because the love was empty to begin with. But the dead one does love the digger for pulling them back to life, they ask questions but ultimately stop asking and settle of one last REAL kiss before watching the digger move on and fulfill themselves finding a love they can reciprocate
Ok so a bit of a pov for all you hopeless romantics like me. You and your lover had finally had enough of the stressful city life so you both came to the woods to start a life where you could love without feeling like the world was just empty. One day you wake up to your lover playing the guitar and singing more to themself rather then out loud, they notice you standing in the door way and start to sing louder so you can hear better. You curl up next to them and lay there so wrapped up in the love you have for each other. Sorry if this is bad lol, it was just the first thing that popped into my mind.
This makes me feel like someone I just met but instantly know I can trust brought me to their cosy cabin after finding me lost in a storm in the woods right before it got dark and made sure I was dry and gave me some warm soup and is now trying to calm me down because I was very scared and somehow it’s working
I’ve done something like that before haha and I’m always like “interesting take but alight” hahaa it always takes me a moment to realize I’m the one that’s doing it
hey friends, just letting u know if u didnt already thats it is possible to loop a youtube video, u dont need someone to make a ten hour version so u can fall asleep to this wonder
This is so beautiful. I'm too sick to even sing along and it breaks my heart. My boyfriend came yesterday morning to take care of me for a little bit and I have never felt so loved. Thats what this kinda feels like❤
I genuinely am blown away by how well this has been received, I cant wait for my job to die down a bit again so I can have some more time to put together edits. I never in a million years would have guessed this would do so well
I'm pretty sure Hozier is a druid king of a forest that woke up from a century-long nap and decided to play music.
100% agree
Hozier is definitely sidhe no doubt
i have theories that hozier is actually apollo in disguise
@@phasma977
Where's the theories OP?
@@phasma977apollo was a real jerk and is honestly a newer god in the mythos so... nah
Do u know how long a century is? Druids didn’t exist a century ago
POV: you’re alone in a cabin in the middle of the woods with hozier
I'd love that!
👀😈
I didn’t know it, but my entire day led me to this comment.
oh god
@@elanyacoleman9862 don't make me dream 🥺🥺

Maybe it just has a different connotation to someone with suicidal ideation
Another fun fact: Like Real People Do is about a bog body, according to internet legend

Or it could be a man whose memory will long outlast his life. Well preserved.

I just loved EVERYTHING about this interaction 🖤✨
Get this on ao3? Say it again but more?
Goshhhh, that was such an interesting comment 🖤 love it
Oh, man. The crackling fire, the rumbling thunder, the wind... this is so beautiful. I feel like I'm being romanced in a log cabin. And it's working
The dog looks like a horse and the image gives me "I died" vibes, over all 10/10, very nice.
Wait that’s a dog? I thought it was a goat lmaooo
@@alexwebber04 me too
The masculine urge to fall in love in the mountains
This brought me down from a panic attack really really well, thank you so much
❤️
This is the foil to the Shia LaBeouf song. Only Hozier can protect us from Hollywood superstar Shia LaBeouf
I didn’t know I needed this comment until I saw it😂😂
Yes! Genius, I must say.. 💚
Hozier knows Jiu-Jitsu
🥺
So is that it? Is that how it feels to be truly loved ?
i think it is. i love someone the way this song describes. its so genius i envy hosier for writing it. i wish it were me
It rather feels like the relationship y'all get into after getting out of one uk uhm as a way to forget everything else. I just love how he conveys different messages through this romantic theme uhm if that makes sense. Lyrical genius he is!
I want a man that makes me feel the way a Hozier song makes me feel
This video is everything. It merely confirms my suspicions that Hozier is, in fact, some kind of sprite who has assumed human form and has chosen to live among us.
Oh man, this makes me want to cry. It's just so comforting and soothing to my soul. It's like his voice is smoothing away all the tension and barbs.

very glad i stumbled across this gem!
this context is litterally something that happens in a story of mine, like theyre in a cottage, it raining, its nighttime, theres a fire and theyre all in a circle listening to my girl sing, you made it a reality, thank you
Need a 1 hour of this
I mean........ I could make that happen
Put it in a playlist on its own and then you can play it on repeat forever
This is what being held by a lover feels like.
This reminds me of roadtrips with my parents that I had as a kid. My dad with his guitar, little me sitting in my mother's warm embrace as she sings along. I miss that
How has this not blown up, I absolutely love it
I never knew I needed something so much in my life and I’ve seen this man live and this is just *french kiss*
French kiss 💀💀💀💀
I was so blessed to see him live❤ right in front of him. Dream come true. The man is truly Magic
FRENCH KISS💀💀💀💀💀💀
FRENCH KISS LMFAO
I’m so sorry if anyone is experiencing something difficult or emotionally challenging right now. Just stay positive and hang in there. Whatever it is will pass in time and life will get better. You are loved
is it bad that I heard the opening and went "this is the barn on the farm live version" 💀

*b o g m a n*
like real people do has been my literal favorite song for four years now and it always makes the feel the same way it did back then
the title made me cackle out loud at work, thanks for the lovely creation
I just found this by accident but this has turned into one of my favorite cottagecore remix from Hozier
I can just smell the fire, and man this is just amazing.
I swear I need this on like a 10 hour loop
I sobbed the entire time I listened to this
I feel like I’ve hiked through the highlands and meet up with fellow hiker hozier and as we sit in the mountains underneath the trees with the fire crackling he sings this
in love w this
This just made my entire life
I just keep coming to this, it's honestly incredible!
Okay, hear me out, fan fic idea: someone playing guitar in the middle of the woods, and accidentally awaken an ancient forest king (Hozier), moved by their song. He never wanted to be king, but did it for his family.
Utterly beautiful
oo the thunder!
spot on
thank you so much for this, really. it gave me a whole new level of comfort
This the good stuff. Aw yisss
thank you algorithm
Hozier's voice truly divine and hot!
~{Lyrics}~
I had a thought, dear
However scary
About that night
The bugs and the dirt
Why were you digging?
What did you bury
Before those hands pulled me
From the earth?
I will not ask you where you came from
I will not ask and neither will you
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do
I knew that look dear
Eyes always seeking
Was there in someone
That dug long ago
So I will not ask you
Why you were creeping
In some sad way I already know
I would not ask you where you came from
I would not ask and neither would you
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do
I could not ask you where you came from
I could not ask and neither could you
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We could just kiss like real people do
thank you !!
This should be pinned to the top
I think the look line means "That familiar look you have, the look of ever-seeking eyes, it was there in someone else who also pulled me from the earth a long time ago".
thank you Jon Lemon
Just sitting by the fire in the rain listening to your honied voice.

i had a separate tab open that i accidently unpaused and it stared playing welcome to new york and i thought it was apart of this video sdkjfsldkfj
I’ve done something like that before haha and I’m always like “interesting take but alight” hahaa it always takes me a moment to realize I’m the one that’s doing it
BAHAHAHAHA I love Welcome To New York tho
This is so perfect
hey friends, just letting u know if u didnt already thats it is possible to loop a youtube video, u dont need someone to make a ten hour version so u can fall asleep to this wonder
This. Yes.
you can't search for songs like this. you have to let them find you
I turned off my light and closed my eyes and just let my mind be carried in to a fantasy of camping on a stormy summer night
I feel like I fell through a mirror and landed in a forest while it was raining and the dog led me to the cabin
This is so beautiful. I'm too sick to even sing along and it breaks my heart. My boyfriend came yesterday morning to take care of me for a little bit and I have never felt so loved. Thats what this kinda feels like❤
God. The vibes. THE VIBES
Wow that voice
Yes. Thank you.
If there was a version of Shrike like this, that would be my perfect song
Your description is the best thing I’ve seen all day lmaooo
Okaybwow thanks for blessing me best version ever yet
Pretty sure that everyone here are my kind of people🖤
Wow this is the one I wanted to hear it just softly strikes me
thanks for the experience mercutiglo
the title of this video made me almost spit out my fucking food LMFAO
Ah, perfect, it just started pouring
Awesome job! The description is exactly how I feel when I listen to this song 😁
Bless you, I really needed this today
this video is such a blessing
YOU ATE
You did a good job.
My people
I wish this was on Spotify 😭 Actually, I wish the original was this version 🤍
did u know u can put it on repeat here on youtube?
This version only barring the fire and thunder is on spotify. It's the barn on the farm recording :]
Butterfly 🦋
This is so fucking beautiful omfggg
perfect title
I have no idea whats that but it was recommended so
I'm proud to say I'm the 1k like
Honestly WILD how many people have listened to this edit i made for funsies and actually enjoyed it.
@@mercutiglo It's because its soo good! It's one of my favorites edit of the song so far
Is this you singing or is it actually Hozier? If you it sounds great!
Ahaha, no it’s actually Hozier!! It’s like the Barn Acoustic version or something like that. I wish I sounded this good!
How dare this video have 33k views, 2k likes and the poster has less than 100 subs?
I genuinely am blown away by how well this has been received, I cant wait for my job to die down a bit again so I can have some more time to put together edits. I never in a million years would have guessed this would do so well
ohmy god
Where did you get this recording of Achilles?
