Additional pov: While picking blackberries at the edge of the lavender and cowslip meadow down the lane from your cottage, a storm starts up and it begins to pour. Instead of getting drenched to make it home, you take shelter under an old nearby chestnut tree. As you settle against the tree, you notice a strange, ethereal creature with a string instrument strapped across his back rise out of a nearby thicket. He says he'll give you a song in return for your cache of blackberries. You agree and he nestles himself in the branches just above you and begins to sing and pluck at his contraption. The sound of his voice and the the gentle patter of rain and roar of distant thunder fill your ears. You're at peace.
Yes! I imagine being an old woman looking back on my life thinking of all the old friendships and love. I know I’m going to look back on things I do now and miss it but it’s hard to appreciate it fully in the moment
Christ that was transporting. Full vibes of running into a rural pub to get out of the thunderstorm and it’s all dimly lit and someone’s handing out warm cider and the only spare seat is by the door but it doesn’t matter cos the band are playing and his voice is magical and soul-warming.
it started pouring down so i went to sit outside while listening to music with one earbud, and when 'like real people do' came on i couldn't shake the feeling that something sounded veery familiar, and then it hit me that i've listened to these edits so much that hozier + rain sounds like it's its own song
if there wasnt corona rn i would be on a roadtrip to florida listening to this song and looking outside my windows at the beautiful mountains as i peacefully sat there. bro now im sad
I'm gonna do just that. Recently moved to MN and I'm not too far from the border. Wife also has Canadisn citizenship so...I know what I'm doing this year now ❤
This song reminds me of when I was a kid. I'd play on top of this plateau near my house with my brother and neighbor. I distinctly remember there was this abandoned bed frame sitting by a tree in the middle of a field of blueberry bushes. I always wondered what the story of that bed frame was...
This is a strangely good album--not because Hozier is a bad artist but because it's almost walking you through the different stages of grief. Maybe I'm ascribing too much meaning into it, but I can actually see stories if I listen to it on shuffle and it reminds me that healing looks different from every angle.
Listened to a lot of Hozier during a stint in Oxford, wandering the old streets, taking cover in Café Nero during every other rain, the dry English air always blowing through my old coat. Perfect city for writers.
this song was made as a take back song from a relationship! it was made to show that he actually persevered through the situation ❤️ hope you’re doing well :)
I couldn't utter my love when it counted Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now The 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 the shrike to your sharp And glorious thorn And I'd no idea on what ground I was founded All of that goodness is goin' with you now Then when I met you, my virtues uncounted All of my goodness is goin' with you now Dragging along Following your form Hung like the pelt Of some prey you had worn Remember me, love When I'm reborn As a shrike to your sharp And glorious thorn I fled to the city with so much discounted Ah, 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 I was housed by your warmth Thus transformed By you're grounded and giving And darkening scorn Remember me, love When I'm reborn As a shrike to your sharp And glorious thorn
I couldn't utter my love when it counted Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now The bite on above But never would fall in Like a crane at the final breath that is drawn Remember me, love when everyone Is a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn And I had no idea on what ground I was found in All that goodness is gone with you now There when I met you my virtues uncounted All of my goodness is gone with you now Driving alone, following your form Hung like the pearl of some prey you had worn Remember me love, when everyone Is the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn I fled to the city with so much discounted Ah, 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 I was highest by your warmth And I was transformed But your gounded and giving And darkening scorn Remember me, love when I'm reborn As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn

Hozier music like this makes me wanna cry cus its the soundtrack to what I want my life to be but not what it currently is
Dont worry, the rain will come down soon and its gonna be okay.
I’m feeling that. Why can’t me and my wife live in a cottage on a farm in the middle of nowhere.
u have the ability to change ur life

And you lean back in your chair, one ear full of voices spouting a melodious story, and the other full of Mother Nature's cleansing tears.
i can smell the ozone just listening to this
HAHAHAAHA true

If you ever have a chance to take a road trip into Canada during autumn, listen to this song. It’s surreal
I'm gonna do just that. Recently moved to MN and I'm not too far from the border. Wife also has Canadisn citizenship so...I know what I'm doing this year now ❤
the nine dislikes are the muses jealous that they didnt think of this first
this makes me feel an emotion that does not exist
Maybe it's just one that we haven't developed a word for, yet.
@@katieglow95 that was very beautiful, thank you

I love to take roadtrips while it’s raining. If I had this album, I’d so listen to this while driving around.

It’s videos like this that will get me through this damn pandemic
Literally played this song the moment I found out it was storming with thunder outside the window yesterday. Such a chill afternoon.
ahh, i can imagine
Why was I just taking a cold shower imagining myself lying outside during a warm storm
why was your shower cold?
Forgot to add that I was listening to Shrike on repeat lol
Stephanie They’re very soothing
All of these hozier environment versions are giving me life
Listened to a lot of Hozier during a stint in Oxford, wandering the old streets, taking cover in Café Nero during every other rain, the dry English air always blowing through my old coat. Perfect city for writers.
the fact that this is really what i’m hearing outside my window makes this 100000000x better🥺
Hozier's outside your window?
This is the most peace I've felt since like, 2012. Thank you.
this song was playing in the coffee shop i was at while i got dumped. used to be my favorite hozier song :(
hope you’re doing okay
Take it back as your favourite song! Don't let them take your happiness away, you're better than that :( Sending you love
this song was made as a take back song from a relationship! it was made to show that he actually persevered through the situation ❤️ hope you’re doing well :)
God Hozier provided you a scenario, but not for the best act. I’m so sorry and hope you heal the pain 💚
There's a literal thunderstorm going on outside my window rn so accurate
Thunderstorm squared
I couldn't utter my love when it counted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
The 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 the shrike to your sharp
And glorious thorn
And I'd no idea on what ground I was founded
All of that goodness is goin' with you now
Then when I met you, my virtues uncounted
All of my goodness is goin' with you now
Dragging along
Following your form
Hung like the pelt
Of some prey you had worn
Remember me, love
When I'm reborn
As a shrike to your sharp
And glorious thorn
I fled to the city with so much discounted
Ah, 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
I was housed by your warmth
Thus transformed
By you're grounded and giving
And darkening scorn
Remember me, love
When I'm reborn
As a shrike to your sharp
And glorious thorn
I didn't realise I needed this as badly as I do now, haha. Lit
I wanna go swimming in the sea while it rains now
anyone wanna join?
I’m down- me- please take me-
yes, plese, yes
i was listening to Sunlight in the rain and i felt like one of the fae, 10/10 would reccomend
I'm not going lie It smells like rain an pin trees rn, and I'm so calm for the first time in a long time
Shrike was already one of my favorite Hozier songs, this is incredible. I am instantly relaxed.
i was like. fine. and then 1:17 happened and my eyes decided, hey, time for you to SOB now
Yup. That exact moment.
Thanks for being here, song. I might get kicked out of the house tomorrow, but at least I have the peace you give me.
I really hope you're doing better now and that your living situation is more stable than it was when you posted this comment. Please stay safe
I'm sorry but these are the vibes
This is therapeutic

I was about to exit TH-cam but then this popped up
This is the most Irish-ish thing I've ever feel. Remind me a lot about my brief time visiting Ireland
This is healing
Oh god this is so gorgeus
I don't know why these are in my suggested but they're great
The song needs to be a little more muffled/faded but this is so pretty 🥺🥺🥺
I Love the Thunder & Rain..

This is amazing :)

This is my rainy day song.
can you do Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone But You're Sitting In Your Room During A Storm While Your Parents Argue Upstairs
Are you okay?
are these types of vids basically an audio of the song with rain/nature/etc sounds placed over it in whatever audio program people use?
yeah basically
Oh that's perfect 🌧️
this makes me think of @VanessNagoya
POV : you were strike by the lightning
🤗
Why the f would you sit with your window open during a thunderstorm? Jeez, the water will get everywhere, that's not good.
but...the VIBES
Depends which way the wind is blowing
idk its kinda nice just hearing the rain extra loud while not having to be standing out in it.
I used to have a long overhang over my window so I could always have it open and I loooved having it open and being able to hear the rain
Do you live in a submarine?
The high-pitched bibliography classically hope because volcano jointly admire inside a rigid crime. vacuous, boring frame
I couldn't utter my love when it counted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now
I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now
The bite on above
But never would fall in
Like a crane at the final breath that is drawn
Remember me, love when everyone
Is a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
And I had no idea on what ground I was found in
All that goodness is gone with you now
There when I met you my virtues uncounted
All of my goodness is gone with you now
Driving alone, following your form
Hung like the pearl of some prey you had worn
Remember me love, when everyone
Is the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
I fled to the city with so much discounted
Ah, 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
I was highest by your warmth
And I was transformed
But your gounded and giving
And darkening scorn
Remember me, love when I'm reborn
As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
