      @lauracrimsonmusic 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      I'd say it has a lot to do as well with his complexion. He's really tall, so his thoracic space is bigger, he's got bigger head too and his face shape (elongated, strong jaw, big mouth in general and probably a lot of room for sound to expand) helps him resonate hugely without much effort. I've seen him sing incredibly loud with his mic practically out of the voice projection area, and that's training and diaphragm control but also complexion, my friend :)

    [Instrumental]
    [Verse 1]
    I couldn't utter my love when it counted
    But I'm singing like a bird about it now
    And I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
    But I'm singing like a bird about it now
    [Chorus 1]
    Words hung above, but never would form
    Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
    Remember me, love when I'm reborn
    As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
    [Verse 2]
    I'd no idea on what ground I was founded
    All of that goodness is going with you now
    Then when met you, my virtues uncounted
    All of my goodness is going with you now
    [Chorus 2]
    Dragging along, following your form
    Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
    Remember me love, when I'm reborn
    As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
    [Verse 3]
    I fled to the city with so much discounted
    But I'm flying like a bird to you now
    Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
    Ah but I'm flying like a bird to you now
    [Chorus 3]
    I was housed by your warmth
    But I was transformed
    By your grounded and giving
    And darkening scorn
    Remember me love, when I'm reborn
    As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn

    Living here in Idaho we have beautiful meadows high up in the remote mountains. This song captures the feeling of walking along the crystal clear streams in late May, resurected grasses surrounding the banks blowing in the breeze after Winter released it's hand. The puffy clouds moving swiftly above to the music of the pines and water below... I cannot be more grateful to have a musician like Hozier writing within my lifetime and sharing the beautiful music of his own which has accompanied my greatest memories over these last few years. I hope he continues for years to come, nobody compares.

      @@davidradulovic5897 I would be more than happy to, I have grown up here my entire life and I could tell you every special place to go that you could ask for. If you are coming this way I highly recommend visiting in the springtime especially in April in May or even early June. The exact place that my mind thinks of with this particular song is called Stolle Meadows, you can Google some images but I promise out of the few that are there none of them quite do it justice for how they feel in person. That entire country of the Warm Lake area is filled with clear running streams in solitude, may I ask where you are from? If you are from a heavily populated area then this will be a very different world. If you go back on the right roads it can be miles and miles and every direction without seeing anyone at all but that is the beauty of it. Those who you will run into are very likely to be friendly and willing to help if you needed it.
      If you want to experience solitude at its absolute finest then I recommended the vast lands of the Owyhee Wilderness, that is a place where you literally will be miles and miles away without anyone or any town. Endless canyonlands that intertwine with aroma from sagebrush and juniper forests, the stars here are brighter than ever.
      I apologize for the long messages but I would be more than happy to list everything I know personally in great detail. I'm very fortunate to be raised where I was and I've spent my entire life adventuring on a regular basis.

      I'm from Serbia (southeastern Europe, next to Croatia). I've spent my youth in the countryside, so I'm not unfamiliar with meadows and beautiful landscapes. Right now I'm living in the capital, so solitude and stretches of forest or canyons ripe for adventuring are very welcome. :) I'm always on a search for places that can compliment this kind of music, or vice versa. What you described sounds like the environment I'd like to spend most of my time in, when I come. Spring is actually the season I was thinking of, not sure about the date. Can I ask, what is the best mode of transportation between the places you mentioned? If I can see correctly at Google Maps, there's a fair bit of distance between them (between Owyhee river and Stolle meadows, to be exact). I made pins for the places you've listed so far, and now I have to see if I'll be able to visit them. If it turns out that I have the resources for more places, I'll come here and ask you for the ones you haven't told me about.
      Thank you for the heartfelt reply. You really sound like you're in love with where you live, to say the least, and that's very reassuring (and hard to come by). And please, don't apologize. There's too few replies like this circling around youtube these days.

    Like a cry at the final
    Breath that is drawn
    Having worked in hospice, this happens more often than you'd think. A stream of tears falling as the patient takes their final breath. Not many things get me emotional anymore, working in healthcare will do that to you. But some things stick with you, those moments...tug at the heart strings. To follow that line with rebirthing as a shrike...this man is simply unearthly. unreal.

    The tone of his voice is beyond words. Like having warm honey and a cup of tea near a fireplace, comforted by someone you care about. You don’t know quite why, but there’s nothing else you’d rather be doing.

    It's amazing how he looks so effortless and relax at 2:04 but the voice is so powerful. Most singers look like they're having to really strain to hit note but Hozier is just taking it in his stride. What talent.

    I love how he raises his voice for the second "remember me love" and even the female pianist is surprised and looks up. Seems they all kind of have a closer proximity to his plight than the rest of us, understand it as much they can, live some of it with him through the music they play together

    My dream is to see Hozier live for at least once in my life. He's got me through so much. Stopped me from questioning my feelings when I'm stressed. His music's so calming and poetic. When one of his songs play randomly on Spotify I have to go on TH-cam to hear them all.

    This song has a way of touching your soul it's so relaxing and beautiful one every single level possible. If you look up the history of the new album you may have a better understanding each song he wrote and why. As well if you go back to his other albums it all makes sense. How is your also does the most beautiful covers ever BBC One radio in case you're interested Jazz a few covers and they are absolutely beautiful his voice is so soothing and the way he plays his guitar.
