    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’d tell them put me back in it
    Darling, I would do it again
    If I could hold you for a minute
    Darling, I’d go through it again
    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
    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’d tell them put me back in it
    Darling, I would do it again
    If I could hold you for a minute
    Darling, I’d go through it again
    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
    I would not change it each time,
    Heaven is not fit to house a love
    Like you and I
    I would not change it each time,
    Heaven is not fit to house a love
    Like you and I
    I would not change it each time,
    Heaven is not fit to house a love
    Like you and I

    I didn't think I'd have a favourite lyric other than "no grave can hold my body down, I'd crawl home to her." But "heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I" has altered my brain chemistry. Listening to this song isn't enough. I want it injected in my veins

    What I love about this song's incredible artistry is that Hoizer based it on a real-life tragic love affair. Francesca da Rimini (d. 1283-1286), was married to Giovanni Malatesta ("The Lame"), but had a decade-long relationship with his younger brother, Paolo. Giovanni found out and killed them both. Dante knew of the lovers from Francesca's nephew and put them in his "Inferno." Thus, Hozier's song is probably from the perspective of Paolo, who extols his undying love for her, consequences be damned.

      Thanks. You should check out Honor Luca's analysis of "Francesca." She explains the historical love affair, Dante's opinion in "Inferno," and how she believes Hozier challenges the poet's interpretation of Francesca and her 'sinful' love for Paolo.

      @@rebekahvaught2747 oh I'm definitely going to go down that rabbit hole today haha! I'm consistently in awe of how Andrew takes these creative stances on classic/traditional narratives. with this song the instinct is to think "oh he clearly had an intense love for someone called Francesca at some point', but it's always something much more than that, and i admire that greatly about him; truly an artist in every sense of the word, almost makes me a bit jealous sometimes LMAO

    • @rebekahvaught2747

      It's impressive (and sexy 😉) how well-read he is. Listening to him talk about his interests and creative progress, you get the sense that he's one of the most intelligent people you could hope to meet. He doesn't mind being intense but does it in a non-toxic way. Does that make sense? Lol, I feel like you could debate him, and he would defend his position without being patronizing.

      Lost my mum to cancer when I was 18. "Like a cancer grows, each piece of your body it takes." Sunk my stomach. And, "If I could hold you for a minute, I'd do it again." Makes me cry. I'm 20 now. 2 years without a mother's love and it's really difficult. I can't imagine with your brother. Siblings feel like another part of you so having that ripped away, I can't imagine. I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish you so much happiness. It's kinda lovely to see all the family members of cancer victims getting comfort and bonding from this song. Fck cancer.

    Francesca / 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)

    I feel like Hozier's music comes out every time I am feeling down or overwhelmed. And each time his songs become my only companion. Crying to his songs, singing along as loudly as I can, or just sitting under the shower, his songs have never stopped accompanying me.

    Aside from the obvious historical and literary references, I just realized that the song can also apply to queer couples.
    With how same-sex relationships are considered as a "sin" in most religions, the lines can be related to a queer couple forcefully separated (and/or killed) by society's heteronormative views.
    "Though I know my heart would break, I'd tell them put me back in it", "I'd go through it again" and "I would not change it each time" - their love for each other is so deep and strong that they'd go through it all over again, bear the pain of homophobia/transphobia, just to be with their lover
    And of course, the most beautiful line - "Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I" - can be referenced to how queer couples are constantly cursed to "go to hell" for their "sin", so the couple retaliates by:
    1. Accepting hell as more fitting for their love, which is an ironical mockery of Heaven as lesser than the grand splendor it is made out to be by religious fanatics, therefore showing the falsehoods of religious extremists
    Or
    2. Their love is not "sin" at all and is so blessed and passionate that Heaven itself says It is not worthy to house such a love, i.e., their love lies somewhere even beyond the Heavens
    Either way, I'm just starting to appreciate the layers of depth in Hozier's works

    Let’s talk about Francesca!
    Francesca da Rimini or Francesca da Polenta was a medieval noblewoman of Ravenna.
    She fell in love with Paolo, the younger brother of her old and deformed husband Giovanni, who she had married as part of a political strategy only.
    Enraged at their betrayal, Giovanni slew both Paolo and Francesca where they laid.
    In Inferno, Dante and Virgil meet Francesca and her lover Paolo in the second circle of hell, reserved for the lustful.

    I had a loved one pass on Saturday, and singing along to this song, for the past few days, has been surprisingly cathartic. Between good music, good comfort food, and good friends, I'm doing better than I had initially thought I would be. Sometimes peace comes naturally, sometimes we have to create it for ourselves, and right now I'm dealing with the latter, so I'm grateful to have this song to sing along with- despite the fact that I butcher it bad enough to be considered parody.

    Love how there isn’t a real story or theme to the video because the performance of the group is entertaining enough to stand by itself. Incredible job Hozier. Your team is impeccable!
