hozier literally confirmed this was a love song from the serpent's perspective, like, the snake from eden being in love. that's LITERALLY ineffable husbands. how the hell did they do that. how is it so perfect.
In The Woods Somewhere was one of his that just touched something in me I listened to it quite often for a while and might as well now. All the songs on the album From Eden is on are beautiful
Hahaha I discovered this song thanks to an AziraphaleXCrowley edit and I inmediately relate it to them everytime I hear it. Weird enough that I already knew Hozier (I love Take me to church) but never heard of this song until I saw that edit. This song is truly made for them.
If I could reach a state of command over my voice to be able to match the way he sings "BAAAAAAAABE" in the opening of the song... well, I could die a happy man.
Right? I keep working on it but I warble, the way he sings it as one consistent note is just- fucking magic. Especially since it captures the happy yearning in the song.
"To The strand a picnic planned for you and me, a rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree" . possibly one of the best lines I've ever heard in a song!
@@utsgotnogutsTwo years late And you might've already gotten an answer but This song is from the perspective of the snake(the devil) in Eden, who falls in love (presumably) with Eve. The line 'a rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree' alludes to the fact that the speaker is planning to kill his love interests' former lover(Adam)
I don't care what he meant when writing this song, I know what it means to me. Being jaded and having given up only to find the one you've been looking for long after abandoning the search yet feeling almost too far gone to have a chance at what you always wanted.
I keep expecting to get tired of this song. But I never do. This guy has a very distinctive voice paired with his ability to really carry a metaphor, that just makes my heart go pitter patter. Although he is a bit of a one trick pony, the one trick he does is very impressive; I really don't mind.
is it just me or do all of Hoizers meloncholy songs / love songs make you float? when I listen to his voice I autimatically begin swaying back and forth like the music controls my body, and I just close my eyes, relating to the songs and feeling as if I'm floating among clouds and planes and birds who are free and wild and unbroken.
the snake from eden being in love with eve is so sad. i think forbidden love that is unrequited is one of the most tragic things that can happen to a being.
Where' s this guy's shrine so I can go and worship it immediately. He's already holy in my book. Not a day goes by that I don't find myself saying, 'Jesus Hozier, that was good,'
Can't listen to this without getting chills. Besides it being perfect for my favorite ship ( ineffable husbands) it's just such a beautiful and meaningful song.
Just crying at the beauty of this amazing song. I didn't even know the right lyrics to this song until seeing this video. I have listened to this song over 500 times before knowing the right words and it has always been so beautiful, always brings me to tears. Just goes to show how well a message and feeling can be portrayed through music and soul alone.
@@josebastidas2883 I know this comment is late but I think he's talking about the values he used to have that were snuffed out as he grew older. The girl reminds him of his younger self because she still has all of those optimistic values.
@@daltonpottratz1375 they are the main characters from the show/book Good Omens. Crowley is the Serpent of Eden and Aziraphale is the angel with the flaming sword who guarded the Gate, and they are totally gay for each other
In my opinion, there is a flaw (not in his eyes) in the relationship. But hozier has a way of relating two opposites. He his the snake from the garden of Eden (Devil?) he enticed her to leave and or cheat on her man.
this song always makes me think of my best friend cause whenever she plays it while we’re listening to her tunes i just look over at her and think of how lucky i am to have found my people
Hozier can literally make a song from Lucifer/satan's point of view slithering into eden sound so fucking romantic in such poetic beautiful way, how does one human possess such talent 😭
This reminds me of my old boyfriend, we only had a year difference in age but so much of him reminded me of myself when I was younger. The idealism and the cynicism. Those characteristics are what pulled us apart before geographic distance could split us apart.
Hozier, you've done it to me again - made me feel blessed with your compassion for music and life ! With your creativity and profound talent and your angel voice ! Thank you my favorite person !
he's an amazing artist, i would rather listen to his angelic voice than the top artists's nonsense. you can feel the music, makes you wanna play it over and over...
they cut out part of an instrumental part that's on the Spotify version I don't remember what time it's at but everyone should go listen to that version too it's pretty cool
Omg this is Amazing I love the song then I needed to find lyrics so I could sing this somg and I know the Wong by heart Thank You I love who ever posted this great work just good job!!!
I’d Love it if Hozier had a film like Blues Brothers where all his awesome songs were used as the *soundtrack* _throughout_ His voice is so *divine* to listen to 🕊✨ Beautiful Bluesy Music 🎧🎵🎶 Bliss
Liked this song when I first heard it. Thought it was decent. Looked up the lyrics. Now it's my favorite song. This is some of the most poetic song writing I have ever seen.
absolutely one of my favorites since the firet time i had ever heard it. this video is really nice, plenty of time to read the lyrics and transitions arent insane. good job!
I love the song, its a real quality track that i just dont get bored of, i have probably listened to it a thousand times already, great work hozier awesome record
Hozier commented that the song was based on songs from blues music (I believe) where God and the Devil are relegated and treated as people. He stated that his song was like the Devil's ode to God. And his lament to having fallen from grace and missing it as well as his love of or for God. Essentially, a love song of how evil misses and loves where it originally came from.(Superconsciousness)
I had no idea what the chorus was saying until this. Thx. I legit thought it was gibberish. Sounded like a dif languageXD Could've sworn he said "Ice cream"XDDD

@twheels Maybe... it's kind of fuzzy, I was *really* drunk... wait, how did you know about the time with Freddie!?
WAS *NOT* EXPECTING THIS TO BE THE SECOND COMMENT I SEE, I DAMN NEAR SHAT MYSELF
charlie. lmao me too
Disagree.
It's sad that Hozier is basically known for only Take Me To Church. All of his songs are great, and I believe this song is better.
^agreed
Right?! Like real people do and arsonists lullaby are probably my two favourite songs of his
Funny thing is idk that song
Liam Dryden I agree 100% all those who disagree can suck it

Aren't these lyrics literally about Satan?
someone explain me the chorus pls it's sind of consufing to me :(
its poetry

Yes! Ikr I listened to it so many times😂
Me neither
I only disagree in him being a one trick pony
I strongly disagree about the one trick pony too
He is NOT a one trick pony!! Jesus have you heard ANY of his music??
Sheer poetry, in both composition and delivery.

I know this Comment was made 5 years ago. But here I sit swaying back and forth on my couch. I know exactly what you mean
Hozier seems to be just what I always need. It's not easy to find modern bands with this kind of talent.
I fucking love that opening riff so much it's killing my heart
I KNOW RIGHT!!!!!: D
makes me think of john mayer
SpadeHand I agree. I’m ruined by it!!

I have never listened a Hozier besides Take Me To Church until now. I'm glad I made this choice. This song is heavenly.
Oh Ineffable Husbands feelings...
Fr fr 😍😍
What i love most about hozier is that every song has a deeper meaning
Came here for good omens, stayed for the great song. Honestly it’s amazing how have I not listened it before ?
Can't listen to this without getting chills. Besides it being perfect for my favorite ship ( ineffable husbands) it's just such a beautiful and meaningful song.
“Innocence died screaming, honey ask me I should know” hits me hard because of my sexual assault.
You absolutely did not deserve to go through that it should not have happened. I hope you are able to heal as soon as possible.
Honestly same.
I hope you are fine my dear...I pray that you are healing. 🌌🌉🌆🌃
Hey I know it's 2 years later, but I hope you're fine and well. :)

Yes
Totally

Lol I found this song bc I googled a phrase i saw on Good Omens fan art.
Also I’m the 420th comment
Weird, I found this song after watching a Good Omens animatic
Derp Derp I know e x a c t l y what you’re talking about lol I found it in the suggestions after this vid
Me too
Here for that same reason. This is a very Good Omens song.
This has always been my favorite Hozier song and i never understand why until i watched good omens
In my opinion, there is a flaw (not in his eyes) in the relationship. But hozier has a way of relating two opposites. He his the snake from the garden of Eden (Devil?) he enticed her to leave and or cheat on her man.
Hoziers pronunciation on this song makes it so much better
its 'Innocence died screaming' not innocents.
and "No tired sighs" not ' not tight side'
@@RazanIbra Np. Thanks for the video :)
The original lyrics is innocence. he’s using personification. they he did with the words “chivalry “ and “idealism”
Took the words right out my mouth ...anyway, GREAT song!
this song always makes me think of my best friend cause whenever she plays it while we’re listening to her tunes i just look over at her and think of how lucky i am to have found my people

a little demonic miracle of his own, dare i say

This band never seem to stop amazing me. What an extremely talented band.
It's only one guy but he is unreal anyway!
Damian Duffy Oh ok @ one guy. Thanks for the clarification or correction. Why do you say that he's unreal?
Ashley M Unreal means like class or brilliant!
Kala. Ahhh thanks for the clarification. Sorry lol.
I love the lyrics to this song so much, I can't stop listening to this. Another bit of British talent right here. Bravo.
Helen Walker Umm, Hozier is Irish...
molly devlin lmao Molly you crack me up! Nice observation 😂
Helen Walker No charge, honey! Just trying to spread knowledge. ;)
molly devlin but he was born in Newcastle, so he's British 😂
Jessica XD He was born in Bray, Co. Wicklow. Typical Brits tryna steal all of our Irish things. First its the North, Now its Him!
he's an amazing artist, i would rather listen to his angelic voice than the top artists's nonsense. you can feel the music, makes you wanna play it over and over...
This may be the only song that makes me feel better anymore.
The lyrics and imagery of this song is incredible
Amazing. He found his voice and used it. It harkens back to another time. A good thing
I've listened to this song about 80 times but I can never get bored from it ;D
this man, is the Van Morrison of our century. pleased to hear of such a talented act getting popular in todays warped industry.
hozier is love
Agreed !
they cut out part of an instrumental part that's on the Spotify version I don't remember what time it's at but everyone should go listen to that version too it's pretty cool
Innocence died screaming. Honey ask me, i should know. 💔 love this lyric
Every time I listen to this, I have this weird feeling in my chest. But it's a good feeling

He is the god of strange but yet the best singer who gives so much emotion to each and every line of a song.. Love you Hozier ❤️

you should try Good old fashioned lover boy by Queen ;)
I love how he involes stuff from the Bible in his songs
Truly glorious music. Everything from this musician is just gorgeous. Still kina marveling at it in 2020.
Such a beautiful song his voice is magical 🥰
Aww this song brings me back to this summer..I listened to this song so many times during summer so it just fills me with the joys

definitely one of those songs that ive been singing the wrong lyrics too for ages lol - what an amazing song
Can Florence and hozier do mash-up please!?
I could seriously listen to this over and over!
His music is so amazing my heart aches... Due to this song, my future daughter's name will be Eden.✊💖
A lyrical genius
Probably the most beautiful song I've heard in a long time...in love!
Playing in my head all day...
Love his music. I can listen to his music on repeat for hours :)
This is my favourite song from him. All of them are so amazing and unique, though!
Make me feel something I never felt before, and it's the wholesome kind of feeling
Anyone else here after the Good Omens Lockdown video? Crowley offering to slither over to Aziraphale's might've actually done me in.
How about the 5/4 time signature? Musical and poetic genius.
Your songs make my heart sing. Yes. ❤

I got to knew Hozier through take me to church but honestly he has got so many other songs to be famous for. I hope others find this gem mine!
