#Hozier #SonOfNyx #UnrealUnearth
the meaning for this song;
Hozier:
“That's a collaboration because for the actual melody, that piano that you're hearing at the beginning is my wonderful musical director and longtime friend and bandmate Alex Ryan. He sent me this beautiful piano piece, and it was at a very difficult time, and his father's name is Nick, so I asked him if I could call it "Son of Nyx," as a sort of play on words that would also honor his father, and I was delighted to have his work on it because, to me, it's such a beautiful piece. And Nyx is a Greek goddess, and one of Nyx's sons is Charon, the boatman in Greek mythology. So the song, to me, really felt like a crossing, and it reflected on that river crossing or that sort of crossing over. So that was a wonderful example of opening up the process, of opening the door to a new experience of sharing in the creation of something. And I think the result is beautiful - it's one of my favorite pieces on the album, and I am so proud of that.”
Thank you for sharing this! It adds so much depth
Stunning
Son of Nyx, adds depth & layers , promising other worldly emotions on the opening of "That" door
I wonder if Alex Ryan is influenced by Hans Zimmer, because I was put in mind of the Dune (2021) soundtrack when hearing this, namely “Night on Arrakis”.
I’m trying to say Alex is on par with Zimmer, hopefully a compliment!
Oh. My heart.
I don’t know why, but to me this song feels like finally reaching acceptance after struggling with something for a very long time. It's a masterpiece.
It's true. Even though this is not the meaning Hozier gives to this piece I cannot but imagine this as the end of Dante's Inferno, the moment in which Dante and Virgilio manage to get out.
"...The Guide and I into that hidden road
Now entered, to return to the bright world;
And without care of having any rest
We mounted up, he first and I the second,
Till I beheld through a round aperture
Some of the beauteous things that Heaven doth bear;
Thence we came forth to rebehold the stars."
To me 1:17 is the exact moment they see the stars.
I didn't realize he was releasing the rest of the album at once. Had to make sure my heart still worked. 😂
No kidding. And Huston, we have activity. I repeat. It’s not completely dead.
Amen
For HIM\US/
Butz Most~est~Ly…
For YOU
🎼🙏🎼
"there are many sons of nyx, which are you seeking? sleep? death? the crossing guard?"
"the persistent one"
"ah doom. moros. then he seeks you, not the other way around, and lead you to his brothers in order"
before y'all get the chance to rag me yeah I know the song is the representation of charon/crossing over to somewhere new, that's why I listed the crossing guard aka charon last. doom will always chase you in life, you seek salvation in sleep with its dreams which is a temporary reprieve, and death comes before you enter the afterlife, only then you find the boatman to ask to ferry you away 🤷
Where are these quotes from?
@@sanjasanja8802 me. i just made that up man lmao ✌️
@@XIIconstNvChr I'd read a book written by you!
@@elinamakela8435 this is hands down the sweetest and best compliment I ever received thank you 😭
Imagine seeing this live in concert with the orchestra.
I would die on the spot happily
I got to see it live! It wasn't a full orchestra but it was SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! The lights were blue and there was a projector shining light through the smoke machines so it looked like you were underwater!!!!! I'll never forget how ethereal it was to see, I would wish it upon ANYONE.
After listening to the full album, I feel this is the song that epitomizes its themes the most - while individual high points are reached in songs like I, Carrion, and Eat Your Young, listening to this feels like a dream. Closing one's eyes, one can imagine floating on an infinite lake, hearing the distant waves lap against a shore you'll never reach - and, in a sense, beyond even water and night, loss and the passage of time, the theme that pervades Unreal Unearth is that of dreamlike reality.
That... is truly the perfect way to describe this song. Well done!!
Fact
nice
Well you just captivated exactly how I feel after listening to the entire album...and did it in only a paragraph. Wow 💕 thank you!
Beautifully said sweet heart
And in the middle of the album, in the middle of this fantastic journey, an instrumental song... mind-blowing
Well done Alex Ryan for your wonderful piano piece that inspired this stunningly beautiful work. It is so haunting. Between you, you and Andrew have created a masterpiece
I need a 1 hour loop of just this track. Obsessed doesn't begin to cover it.
same. no one has made it yettt
It may be an instrumental song but this is fantastic, sounds like it should be in a movie
Yes! My exact thoughts! Was looking to see if others felt that too ❤
Thought the same !
Check out Woodkid if you like this sound.
0:47 abstract
0:53 abstract vocals
1:03 eat your young (ha sound between verses)
1:14 choir note from first light
1:33 damage gets done vocals
1:43 Francesca outro
1:58 who we are
2:10 who we are
2:19 slowed down distorted shalala?
2:22 first light
2:39 idk
2:43 after the yeah ah ahs from damage
2:50 I only pray icarrion
3:04 outro I can't decode
2:39 sounds like the Abstract "ooh"
Is it possible to cry over a song without words?
Yes, apparently it is
The first time I ever almost cried to an instrumental
You never listened to classical music then
@@bl4z3j I did. And I cried even back then☺️
I almost exclusively cry over orchestral/symphonic music
Piano is the voice of reality, violin is the voice of your heart, cello is the soul, while the 3 fight in harmony the body’s emotional release is greater than any form of therapy.
THIS will be a sound track in a future movie
This feels like you're closing your eyes, only to open them again and find yourself floating off into space.
Looking at the earth, the sun, the immensity of the galaxies expanding around you, a show just for you, and you're a part of it. You're dancing along with the rest of the universe, going back to the place where you belong to, going back with your siblings: The stars, the children of the night, the children of Nyx.
You're finally home, you finally feel alive.
I'm actually crying, the emotions.. This man never ceases to amaze me
At 1:52 you can hear a few notes from adagio in g minor, by Albinoni. I have no idea if it was on purpose or not, either way, it is my favorite classical piece, so it made this one even better.
WOAH I didn't catch that !! Knowing how intentional Hozier is with his music I wouldn't be surprised
i need an hour long version of this. it's perfect for studying
Or reading books
Yes, please, someone who knows how to do this, do it!
Hozier knows how to pull at your heartstrings just so 😭
I love music that can make you feel so much more, even without words. This is a masterpiece
Hozier need to do the soundtrack of a movie
This makes me think of when Zoë Nightshade passed away in Artemis' arms and when Clarisse got her vengeance for Silena and Beckendorf's deaths, she earned the blessing of her father, Ares, as she slayed the Drakon.
Happy Percy’s birthday !!
So real for this
Wouldn't it be amazing if they used this song in the new pjo series?
This song indeed has the ‘ancient Greek’ vibe and I’m so here for it
thank you alex ryan. 🌜
indeed a majestic piece.
This song feels like dying in the most peaceful and enrapturing way.
If I close my eyes, listening to this music, I can perfectly imagine myself in a fanciful, dark setting, shrouded in a dense mist. It's like I'm sailing in uncharted deep waters. Amazing how this song manages to get that through!
This sounds like its should be in lord of the rings as like an Elven song 😭😭 its so beautiful
This piece also contains the "themes" of all the other songs in the album, I'm far from having found them all but these are the ones I did find so far:
- 0:45 and 2:20 you can hear "See how it shines" from Abstract/Psychopomp
- 2:10 you can hear "It's who we are" from Who We Are
- 0:49 I think it's the melody from First Light's chorus (but I could be wrong)
- 2:50 there's some of the backup vocals from "Damage Gets Done"
Let me know if you spot any more
Is 1:32 also from Who We Are?
Abstract, not who we are
i'm not sure!! i've been trying to pin it down but it very well might be the vocal run he does at the end of who we are@@gracebradesku9662
I believe 0:49 is the post-chorus (the "oohs") of 'Abstract'
@@gracebradesku9662 I think that's Anything but
I am absolutely transfixed by this…
The start of this song is so eerie, it feels like the birth of her children, and the fear of what they are as they form, and then it shifts to the beauty of what they are as it crescendos. Creating this image in my mind of the joy of death and dreaming, and that at the end you will not cross the river alone.
I've been playing Hades recently and this is perfect especially for the scene where you first reach the surface and Zagreus, raised by Nyx, is greated by the sunrise for the first time in his life.
I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS NOT TO HAVE ACTUAL LYRICS. I SCREAMED
I love it!
Truly I do😊
But ...
I'm scared of the visuals😭
That's mildly horrifying to me and I can't even explain whyyyy😭😭😭
Issa druid
I love hozier smmm
hello yes LOSING MY DAMN MIND
i am literally hugging my bluetooth speaker for this
This gives movie score vibes like a Nolan, Spielberg esque
All of the thoughts that are constantly running through my head are silenced by this piece. It makes me feel at home in a very specific way that’s difficult to verbalize
Son of Nyx feels like an intermission for the album
When he echos “Who We Are” lyrics near the end and then realize little snippets of vocals from various songs on the album make up Son of Nyx
This song gives me radiohead vibes. It's so nice sounding.
This is so beautiful. Has a Radiohead feeling to it 🖤
I feel like I’m ascending to another dimension
At 0:50, sounds a bit of a snippet from Great Gig in the Sky, by Pink Floyd.
got that vibe too!
Please, make a longer version of this masterpiece. It's so beautiful that 3:20 minutes is not enough
You know it's amazing when the music moves you more than lyrics ever could. Masterpiece!!💚
Omg the way I screamed when I got the notification 😭
Been waiting forever for Unreal Unearth😍😍😍😍
SERIOUSLY THO
I love you man. Wish I had the money to see you. I will one day
Brooo I've got so many new song to listen to now
This song would easily be a soundtrack for the Dune part 2 movie
SO glad i wasn’t the only one who thought this
Never been this early before
Same this is shocking
If a show or movie was scored by this man, it would be all over for us.
Wow the mysterious sound of this song… I was drown into a world full of secrets… Feel like the perfect sound for a movie
i feel like i lived my whole other life in ancient egypt during this song
When I first heard this I immediately thought of “Everything in its Right Place” by Radiohead and now comparing the songs they sound so similar to me
Listened to this just before my parents dropped me off at uni. Truly encapsulates that feeling for me
Aww damn I feel you
earlier today, this song was playing as i watched some videos from palestine on IG. i cant stop thinking about it.
I adored hearing an instrumental and to have it be so moving and eerie fit the album perfectly.
Changing this to my ringtone rn
it's beautiful as heck and i can't stop listening to it, but also the beginning makes me think of minecraft music and i am so sorry for that
Interpretación:
Hombre mordiendo una flor como si fuera un escarbadientes.
La música me recuerda a la canción de Wookid que hizo para los Juegos Olímpicos de Paris 2024.
reminds me of radiohead
why am I sobbing like?????
I played this on a speaker for my roommates while lying on the grass in the park behind our house during the 2024 solar eclipse; Never before in my life have I had a more surreal or spiritual experience. Thank you.
Why did I *Get* this song.
I know this song is very personal to Alex and Andrew. It feels like it is telling such a deep story. Andrew said melodies from the other songs in the album have been made part of this song. I could definitely hear Who We Are. Probably because it's one of the rare words found in the song and because I like it very much.
When this piece begins, I take a long, slow breath and just…listen. Thank you Alex and Hozier. Mesmerizing💙💜
I havent the words to express how much i love this track. Soooo beautiful ✨️💖✨️
Whenever I hear this song I'm reminded of this restaurant in my hometown where they have tango dancing. It is MORE beautiful than any cinematic masterpiece I've heard to date.☮️♥️🕊️🖋️🎨
He’s done it again... released another set of musical masterpieces ❤
reading the comments it looks like people forgot how wonderful it is to listen to a song without words
This could be an epic game soundtrack truly !!! This is beautiful 😍😍😍
This song is the closest thing to a religious experience I’ve ever, well, experienced 😂😫😫
🖤🖤🖤
I think that's what heaven sounds like😭😭😭😭😭😭
This song gives me a mix between sevdaliza and james blake, such a beautiful sound❤
help... i forgot how to breathe .
this is so amazing
My mother named me nixon, which means son of nyx
This shit makes me feel like Robert pattinsons bat man. This shit makes me feel like a deep space explorer. Shit makes me feel like I am finding the pacific rim. Shit makes me feel like prince zuko redirecting lightning. This masterpiece makes me feel.
You _should_ be feeling like you're in the depths of hell 😭😂
This song would be great in a new james bond movie trailer.
This intro would go so hard made as DnB, a wonderful song as it is tho💙
He is so lana del rey vinyl omg
1:57 - 2:24 : You have find Iram ⏳
Is raining outside while listening to my favorite piece from this album, almost feels like a scattered puzzle with roughed edges that doesn't need to be solved
🌻 A very precious piece, charming , May this day be eternal !!!!
Sounds like Joji, Sonder and Hans Zimmer mixed this track
those chords at 2:06 knock my whole world back into color vision if just for a moment during this dreary winter. literally beautiful.
this is just beautiful
Esse cara não erra nunca ❤️🇧🇷
This is just criminal. It feels amazing, but criminal. Every minute
AHH ITS FINALLY OUT !!!
Angola 🇦🇴
This is so giving me Phoenix Jean Grey vibes
I just met a baby today named Nyx. I swear to God I did...😮 he's beautiful too. That's weird.... anyway...😊
The baby's mama really digs the song. She's been playing it on repeat 🥹❤️
my heart melts at 1:19
BELLÍSIMO
I think of Anne Rice listening to this and the vampire chronicles
FALLOUT 4 TITLE SCREEN MUSIC!!! I was trying to figure out why this sounded so familiar and I have!!!
this is like a breath of fresh air 😍
Hozier should score a movie
