I am so freaking GLAD to be living in the same era as Andrew Hozier Byrne, and to have that voice fill up my heart and ears. That crescendo and his voice riffing as if it's the cry from each of our human hearts will never fail to bring me to tears with the beauty & power of it. // God, this magic man. xoxoxo
I can’t be the only one who has listened to this song easily 20+ times a day since it’s release?? This is truly one of the most beautiful songs I have ever known.
I haven’t listened to hozier since his first album. Heard Too Sweet on tik tok, found the album, found Francesca. I can’t stop listening to this song haha. The first listen i’ll never forget either, the melodies are so unpredictable and yet fit perfectly. The lyrics are specific and yet transcend to speak on all love stories. This is one of my favorite songs ever.
As an Irish person living outside of Ireland it is really nice to hear singers like Hozier and Dermot Kennedy that can really hold their own. The power in their voices is something else. Also credit where it’s due, Niall Horan has a great sound and he has a very melodic voice.
Holy crap, fuck the studio version, this live performance is everything. The vibes with the band, the vocals, the raw energy and incredible musicianship… everything. Abandon hope all ye who enter here, because who needs hope when you have this marvelous present instead
this song truly gets better with every live performance which feels like it shouldn't even be possible also, the poor guy is wearing a denim jacket in this heat - and under the stage lights, too. he must be close to melting.
I was front row and it was magical! I scremaed when he started playing it and an older woman next to me said is your name Francesca? And I was like no lol this is just his new song and its incredible!
@@weirdpigeonperson I don't get it when some people at concerts get mad at someone losing their shit when it's actually letting it loose to your fave artist!
My word, when Hozier is belting out vocals (in the Bridge specifically) so magnificently that he has to be miles away from the microphone, its just a spiritual experience. This album will be phenomenal when it finally arrives!
3:19 I fell in love with the added vocals in the outro so I decided to listen to the original song again. It’s really faint, but I felt like I could hear the same vocals as in this video. This is why the outro is my favorite part of Francesca. There’s so much layers to it (the juxtaposition between the lines, “I would not change it each time” and “Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I”) and now this! Thanks to this, I discovered the vocals at the outro were there all along. ❤️ long live Hozier, the forest god
fav male artist ever. no one can top him at any level: songwriting, voice, playing, personality, politics, communication, relationship with people and even looks 💗 i feel so honored to live in the same time as him!! 😭😭
Just posted this so i can sing along. Lyrics:- Do you think I'd give up That this might've shook the love from me Or that I was on the brink? How could you think, darling, I'd scare so easily? Now that it's done There's not one thing that I would change My life was a storm, since I was born How could I fear any hurricane? If someone asked me at the end I'll tell them put me back in it Darling, I would do it again, ah, ah If I could hold you for a minute Darling, I'd go through it again, ah, ah I would still be surprised I could find you, darling In any life If I could hold you for a minute Darling, I would do it again, ah, ah For all that was said Of where we'd end up at the end of it When the heart would cease Ours never knew peace What good would it be on the far side of things? It was too soon When that part of you was ripped away A grip taking hold Like a cancer that grows Each piece of your body that it takes Though I know my heart would break I'll tell them put me back in it Darling, I would do it again, ah, ah If I could hold you for a minute Darling, I'd go through it again, ah, ah I would still be surprised I could find you, darling In any life If I could hold you for a minute Darling, I would do it again, ah, ah I would not change it each time (I would not change it each time) Heaven is not fit to house a love (Heaven is not fit to house a love) Like you and I (like you and I) I would not change it each time (I would not change it each time) Heaven is not fit to house a love (Heaven is not fit to house a love) Like you and I (like you and I) I would not change it each time (I would not change it each time) Heaven is not fit to house a love (Heaven is not fit to house a love) Like you and I (like you and I)
My life in 2023: one eye on the escalating civil war in my neighbour country, one eye remotely witnessing the gig of my personal equivalent to Rolling Stones in Glastonbury. I'd quote Sartre but I'm too tired.

Bless you 😂
Good, I was worried I was the only one who was in tears at that part!~
i would cry so hard if i saw him live. honestly so fitting that i share a personality type and moon sign with him 😭
Cannot stop watching this video, playing this song and hearing it occupying my mind. Majestic! Counting down to December and hearing it live.
Ivory is freaking out in chill all over goosebumps and I am nearly 70 he’s is so bloody amazing and the sound of his is so talented luv him
I can’t be the only one who has listened to this song easily 20+ times a day since it’s release?? This is truly one of the most beautiful songs I have ever known.
You're not alone!
Me tooooooo
My top song of 2023! 1000 listens back then and still going up. I think hearing this song in person would crush me

Yes, you said it right!! Love the Irish singers. But Hozier is in a class all his own. 💜
*Horan
Holy crap, fuck the studio version, this live performance is everything. The vibes with the band, the vocals, the raw energy and incredible musicianship… everything.

He is amazing live!! I saw him during his Wasteland Baby tour and it was incredible. Will be seeing him again in Sept.
this song truly gets better with every live performance which feels like it shouldn't even be possible
also, the poor guy is wearing a denim jacket in this heat - and under the stage lights, too. he must be close to melting.
Makes you wonder what the thought process behind that particular stylistic choice was, doesn't it? 😂
It must be a magical charm for him, he does so many interviews in it too !!!

I feel like it’s going to be LEGENDARY
It was!!!
@@joaocampelo3725it is!!
I LOVE THIS SONG ❤ Hozier’s voice is just a new level
One of the best 2023 songs
THE best song! What other ??

Hozier is incredible. I’m also just so impressed with how Glastonbury set up this tent, great lighting and vibez in the middle of the day
What a song and what a performance, his voice and song writing is unmatched
fav male artist ever. no one can top him at any level: songwriting, voice, playing, personality, politics, communication, relationship with people and even looks 💗 i feel so honored to live in the same time as him!! 😭😭
What are his politics? I am Irish too an have no idea.
He's not gone all Bono on us is he?
@@firetv3248 fairly left-wing.
I can't stop listening to this song. What a performance. Hope the crowd appreciated his talent.
Thank you ❤Francesca from Italy 🇮🇹😎
Just posted this so i can sing along.
Lyrics:-
Do you think I'd give up
That this might've shook the love from me
Or that I was on the brink?
How could you think, darling, I'd scare so easily?
Now that it's done
There's not one thing that I would change
My life was a storm, since I was born
How could I fear any hurricane?
If someone asked me at the end
I'll tell them put me back in it
Darling, I would do it again, ah, ah
If I could hold you for a minute
Darling, I'd go through it again, ah, ah
I would still be surprised I could find you, darling
In any life
If I could hold you for a minute
Darling, I would do it again, ah, ah
For all that was said
Of where we'd end up at the end of it
When the heart would cease
Ours never knew peace
What good would it be on the far side of things?
It was too soon
When that part of you was ripped away
A grip taking hold
Like a cancer that grows
Each piece of your body that it takes
Though I know my heart would break
I'll tell them put me back in it
Darling, I would do it again, ah, ah
If I could hold you for a minute
Darling, I'd go through it again, ah, ah
I would still be surprised I could find you, darling
In any life
If I could hold you for a minute
Darling, I would do it again, ah, ah
I would not change it each time (I would not change it each time)
Heaven is not fit to house a love (Heaven is not fit to house a love)
Like you and I (like you and I)
I would not change it each time (I would not change it each time)
Heaven is not fit to house a love (Heaven is not fit to house a love)
Like you and I (like you and I)
I would not change it each time (I would not change it each time)
Heaven is not fit to house a love (Heaven is not fit to house a love)
Like you and I (like you and I)
CANT WAIT FOR THE WHOLE ALBUM!! 💜💜💜🥹🥹🥹
I NEED to experience a concert of him so bad
I have seen him twice hes amazing ❤🎉
I NEED TO EXPERIENCE HIM PERIOD
I saw him this week and my body chemistry has been permanently altered
I saw him last month and It truly feels like a spiritual experience ❤
That wink at 1:37 though oh my goodness. Love this song so much!
3:18 This shit right here killed me my god
Drop the full performance bbc
He just sounds so much better live. In every goddamn song he makes.
BBC where is the whole set?
Makes me cry every time I hear it, I love it so much 😢❤ Francesca 💜🦋
oooh he's still wearing the bracelets the fans made for him 🥺
My life in 2023: one eye on the escalating civil war in my neighbour country, one eye remotely witnessing the gig of my personal equivalent to Rolling Stones in Glastonbury. I'd quote Sartre but I'm too tired.
hozier one of the few artists that can sing better live 😭✨
He sounds so Irish here and it’s hot. Where are his other Irish accent songs? I need them. 🍀 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
he sounds quite irish in shrike and his newest one too
@@BeepBoop232thank you for this! I’ll check them out
goosebumps -- every time i hear this song
Beautiful performance 👏👏
This man is handsome and his voice is awesome
He looks like a more wholesome version of Chris Evans. Weird lol 😆 probably the Irish gene
He’s one of the most talented singers of the decade! The power in his voice is just breathtaking
How are these folks not dancing their faces off? This song is metal af
he sounds just like he does on his records live and thats so fucking cool
Feel like this is too small of a stage for him, no?
I can’t wait to hear this live in October! 😭❣️
I CANT EVEN DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS SONG
COOL STORY BRO
The greatest talent and voice that does not need external beauty to be respected. Thanks from Ukraine. 🇺🇦
I listened to this song for 2412x now since its release and it feels like the first time over and over again 🥹 ILY ANDY AND THE BAND
Those screams at the end of the song with the chorus in the background, it was beautiful enough to make me cry, what a beautiful performance🖤
24/7 on repeat! love this song SFM!
Just breathtaking
I feel honoured of my name now more than ever 😍
His voice ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This song is chilling
He is incredibly talented artist. So excited to hear Hozier live in Vancouver this year
I can't stop replaying 1:36 😉
The song, his voice ❤
Hozier is the best singer out there hands down

Oh I’m doing it! Winnipeg show in august! I’m stoked!!!!
You have to! I saw him in 2014 and again in 2024 and he was just as good both times (albeit a much bigger crowd this time, good for him)
1:37 when my heart melts ❤️😍

Such a beautiful pure voice
Wow❤️
I’m going to see this live in July!!!!!!!

Te amo Hozier artista espectacular
The winks are really sweet.
J,écoute cette chanson en boucle, trop ....

Oh My Goodness!
💜💜💜

I need to see this live before I die.
Bravo!!!
Legendary venue
Under the radar band, so much soul , I don't know why millions don't get this phenomenon, feck it I do
Band is amazing but Hozier is the singular man singing, though he does play with the same band a lot depending where and when. Class tune ❤
Drummer got so excited he went directly to the second chorus and I get him
