“The memory hurts, but does me no harm. Your hands in my pocket to keep us both warm” is one of the most devastating and relatable lyrics at the same time.
THAT SWEET THING COVER HAS MY HEART AND SOULLLLLLLLLLL i listened to it for a week straight when i first discovered it "with grIEF" 😭😭he's so funny i swear
The sweet thing cover is my roman empire and I literally cannot listen to the original or anyone else's cover of it. I think I would actually give my soul to the devil for this version to be added to Spotify
An exceptional selection. Thanks, boba. You surpassed yourself. It's always a joy to watch your video. Need some serious attention on your message, though. Thank God there are people who care about issues that really matter and not give up on fighting an uphill battle. ❤
THANK YOU. I had only vaguely heard of Hozier (watched the movie Dancer years ago). Earlier this year, I decided to stop my obsessive news watching here in America, and go find something to make me laugh. Much healthier. So my first selection was the Stephen Colbert show where Hozier sang Too Sweet. MY GOD. WHAT IS THIS BEING??? That led to finding more. So my second time ever seeing him was the BBC Francesca. And to think it all began innocently looking for comedy, and instead I find that power house. I didn't laugh, let me tell you. But I was moved to tears, and now I'm obsessed, obsessed, obsessed. Which is why I love your videos.
aw :') I relate, in that this is also a break from such pessimistic news of the world. Hozier can be such a mood cure (even if devastating lol) ty for enjoying!!
JACKBOOT JUMP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Edit: the concept of seeing Swan live i think might kill me. I don't think I'd make it out of there.
@vee8607 you should have seen me try to explain to my mom that Hozier is lesbian music. She didn't believe me. She's coming to the concert with me so we'll see how that goes. 😳
@@mosspoet6143 I saw him in june, last minute ticket, last row, weird perspective, the celling was much closer to me than the stage lmao BUT it didnt matter at all cause his voice filled up the whole building the minute he started singing, I was completly bewitched, sitting there for 1,5 hours with jaw dropped. So yeah, it was etheral, I can't even imagine what it would've been like to be closer😂
me and my mom didn't even sit in our seats direct oppositeof the stage, we walked along the top all around to the side of the stage and we stayed there for the rest of the show. it was AMAZING. just as long as you're not sitting in someone else's seats or ruining someone's else's experience 👍🏻
Also I can’t believe you didn’t add the boobs song 😔 (I actually physically cannot watch that video that and the one with the guy singing TMTC badly back to Hozier they activate cringe 1000 for me)
I’m sorry… I avoided this video ever since it came out because I knew I was gonna lose it. Turns out… I lost it. THEE FRANCESCA PERFORMANCE FIRST????? 😭😭🫠😭💀💀

My man was on the brink of tears with that Francesca performance and the backup singers were just 💃💃
god the jackboot jump performance and then swan upon leda... im a mess
one thing about swan upon leda is it’s gonna gut punch me every time anyway, but THAT performance?? 😭😭😭
“The memory hurts, but does me no harm. Your hands in my pocket to keep us both warm” is one of the most devastating and relatable lyrics at the same time.
I really almost started crying during Swan Upon Leda. That song is so beautifully devastating.
How did I not know that he performed Swan Upon Leda live??? Holy shit
only like twice and it's DEVASTATING both times 😭
Curled up, in the backseat of my car, sobbing, at 7am during the Francesca performance
THAT SWEET THING COVER HAS MY HEART AND SOULLLLLLLLLLL i listened to it for a week straight when i first discovered it
"with grIEF" 😭😭he's so funny i swear
The picture you used for underrated made me cackle, and I needed to laugh today, so thank you.

Thank you so much for bringing up that last one it truly is a heart breaking song cant believe they fill his heart and closet.
I’d like to add the global citizen one world together at home performance of movement !!
Pints With The Lads is my absolute favourite.... I keep singing it for long whiles when I'm in the mood like it’s a real serious song 🤣🤣
I would sacrifice my first born in order to go back in time an go to that 2016 Birmingham show 😂
OMG THE SCOUTING LEGION STICKER ON THAT GUITAR!! This is MY infinity war-level crossover!!!
lol the swimsuits from penney's song gets me every time
Am I normal?🙃I have watched all of these clips more than once. .....boba thanks for compiling *sobs,screams,gasps*❤
i would be lying if i said that your videos don't make my days better, or worse, depending on which devastating preformances you use. :)
Swan upon Leda is so beautiful, I can't 😭
i may or may not have started crying during francesca and then just couldn't stop...
we have been blessed
