i come to you all again with my oc, magdalena. this time i sing a song i've been wanting to cover for the LONGEST time. i am a huge hozier fan, and as someone who was raised catholic this song really hits home. recording this particular cover was quite intense, physically and emotionally-but in a good way! i remember throwing all my anger, frustration and passion at the wall as i sang this. despite how it may sound, it was a truly cathartic experience. it felt nice to just get all of that out of me. i hope my rendition of this song can lend you some of that catharsis as well.

you caught me lackin but i have to speak up when it's my favorite song.
Magdalena stared out, stone peaks disturbing the tranquility of the horizon. A flock of crows marred the blue sky, crossing its breadth in a delicate formation as they wove over the lower buildings in the distance. Her hands closed tighter around the chain wrapped about her fingers, taking a deep breath of the crisp morning air. A desperation brewed in her chest, burning at her insides and threatening to consume her mind as she looked over the monastery. Behind her rose the bell tower, silent at the moment. It would remain so for hours, a thin smile spreading loosely over her lips.
Silence.
Something she'd learned to practice, something it seemed God himself had decided to practice.
She lowered her head, clutching the chain tighter, a small cross dangling on its dulled end brushing against her knuckles. Such sacrilegious thoughts should not be entertained, especially not within the head of a woman of her position. Her faith was meant to be static and solid, unshakable. She was to be the rock to break the wave for those following behind towards the light. And yet she doubted. Was belief really enough to stand between her and this feeling that ripped through her nightly, that burned itself into her every waking thought, enough to cast it away as sin? It was the purest thing she'd ever felt, yet it was impure in the eyes of those she could not even see?
Magdalena roused herself, thick and coarse fabric rustling as she shoved up to her feet, hands falling to her sides as the cross dangled at her thigh. She looked up, stealing another deep breath as she stared at the sky, watching a cloud swallow the light above her and consume her in its silver-gilded shadow.
-
"Where are you going, sister?"
"A nightly walk, Elliana. Helps clear the mind for the morning come."
"Oh, well do keep warm, it's growing colder."
"Of course, enjoy your evening."
Magdalena paced down the steps, dressed quietly in a cloak the color of midnight, stealing across the courtyard and through the gate.
Once outside she slowed, walking along the cobbled pavement with a strange concoction in her heart. A fervent excitement, a nagging dread, a bubbling anxiety. Her eyes drifted up, running gently across grooves of holes poked into the inky sky. It looked the same no matter from where she saw it, but it seemed to open wider tonight. From the window of her room, to the courtyard, to the edge of the greater city, it always seemed to smile down at them no differently, a small dash of consistency she supposed, something to hold onto. Brushing the pit building in her stomach away, she began to walk faster, coming to the end of the street and dipping into a doorway tucked neatly between two others, a waft of warmer air grasping her and pulling her in. Magdalena paused in the doorway, the familiar scent of cinnamon burning with a different context. The gentler tones of the monastery paled in comparison to the richness, the tones and depth that approached her nose as she removed her coat to hang it by the door.
"Cold, hmm?" Came a voice, one that sent shivers down her spine so forcefully that she imagined she had no say in the matter, before the soft patter of feet against wood came near. She made to turn from the rack, before pausing. A gentle set of hands rested themselves on her hips, pulling Magdalena back against a warmer touch that married itself to the curve of her back as easily as water to a basin.
"I-It certainly is, Judith." Magdalena said, her voice little more than a whisper in the presence of the woman. Even her silence was a roar, silence afraid to breathe under her gaze as the quietest noises grew significant. From the gentle rasp of wind against the window, to the soft breath against her neck, every sound seemed as though they were vying for her attention.
"Well, come, allow me to share a little of the warmth you left me with." Judith whispered, hands running up slowly to grace the ridges of her hips over the robe Magdalena wore, her skin burning underneath the woman's touch. Magdalena could only nod, allowing Judith to turn her about and pull her along.
Magdalena would never grow used to the sight, the gentler curves, the tides of lightless hair that fell in beautiful, lightly glossed waves over unblemished and bare shoulders, the rich golden accents and the crimson satin that wrapped itself about Judith's form so effortlessly. She only basked in the moment, Judith's hand in hers, the gentle warmth and tug, it washed over her soul like sunlight. It filled her with a joy so utterly fundamental and pure that it reminded her of the first real breath of the morning. The touch of dew on the trees and the touch of soft fabric swathing her in its embrace in the colder months. Something so guttural, so inseparable from being human that she could only let the riptide tear her from the safety of her shores.
Perhaps, she would drown, tangled in the throes of Judith's sheets. Perhaps, she would find that she'd been drowning and was just now breaching that cold, uncaring surface that whispered its annoyance at her with every action she took.
Perhaps, she would burn up, torn to shreds and left to hang in limp tatters from Judith's teeth.
Perhaps, that was all she could have ever wanted.
reading stuff people write about my ocs always makes me the happiest gal 🥹
THE WAY I AM READING THIS SO GIDDILY AKMSKAKSKS I CANT STOP SMILING AAAA I LOVE HOW YOU INTERPRET MY GIRLIES OMG OMG THEIR INTERACTIONS 😍😍😍
if you have ANY form of social media i would LOVE to try collaborating with you on writing my ocs
@@JustinesMic would you be willing to let anyone else write stories about your characters? I promise that you would receive the full credit. I would just like to know where in the world they live, and if Judith is any specific type of demon.
oh everyone’s welcome to make works about my characters! the only thing i asked is that i’m credited with the characters’ creation. :)
My only issues with this song is that I won't get to experience listening to it for the first time again. Just chills all over, the passion and emotion in your voice is beyond what words can say
Adhd will help with that
@@zannis5441 PFFFTTT
An ad first played when I saw the comment and I'm like 'It's that good?' (Mostly out of excitement because I love getting the chills.)
Only to get hit from behind from how good it is.
for me songs are not like movies, the longer i hear a song the deeper i get in its paradise, the greater its magic become, while movies, lose their magic after watching them once ..
I know, it just got recommended in YTmusic and I was like "hey, wait, do it again"
This is literally my favorite song already so Ik this version is gonna be just 😩😩😩
Ikr Q_Q
The pure Sapphic energy in this cover
Love that the first comment i see on this comes from a lesbian flag pfp
@@dorotejavukoje854 haha yes same
Lesbians unite!
How is it that every song you sing is more satisfying than the original? I was literally complaining to a friend that every female singer switches the pronouns and I just wanted one gay cover of this. I legit started crying cause it was just too much to handle, just the recognition. Thank you. This is legit everything and more.
i got emotional recording it too :)
thank you for your kind words 💗
Eva Noblezada (Eurydice in the original Hadestown cast for the broadway version) also did a cover if you want another gay amazing version
but the original is gay
@@milowisgrosstm9290 It is, I meant it in a lesbian version
@@milowisgrosstm9290 not really. The music video is 100% about gay lovers but the song itself is a general celebration of sexuality in all its forms.
Can we just appreciate the art?? And goodness, your voice sends me to heaven every time. 🙏
what about it
I still laugh at how misinterpreted this song was when it first blew up.
A lot of college kids just heard the Church part and the dramatic Amens without realizing it is a critique on the hypocrisy of the followers of the Weeping God.
Anywho.
The algorithm sent me hear and I appreciate the fullness of your wonderful voice.
...I just Googled what the Weeping God was
@@deadly-nightshade it's not the meme troll face one.
He's the one mentioned in the Bible.
@@b.r.52 Oh. Mea culpa
Jesus Wept At Lazarus' Passing He'll Weep For You As Well
Every song this woman sings leaves me amazed. You really have an incredible talent and thank you for brightening up those days when I can only keep going with your songs 💖💖💖
This is extremely beautiful. I love that it sounds like you're singing in an empty church!
I was also raised in the Catholic faith in a small rural town. When I started questioning my sexuality, I had to Google what a lesbian was. I didn't realize that I was a lesbian until college. I'm graduating from college in a month, and my family still doesn't know that I'm a lesbian because I'm worried about their initial reactions and the reactions of those in my community. I don't want my younger siblings to be ostracized because their oldest sister is gay. This song is so cathartic for me because it was one of the very first times that I realized there might not be anything wrong with me. This cover is absolutely gorgeous and it is officially on repeat.
I was raised in a Christian family as well. I already knew i liked girls when i was 8 but i didn't know what it was. No lgbt content to see back then. I didn't even know other people like me existed. Then i met a girl last year of high school. I'm 30 now and none of my family know I'm gay because they are homophobic. I'm still hoping for a brighter future for us. You stay strong.
I wish the best for the all of you
So this song gives off lesbian vibes?
@@davidcoles9734 the original is about a gay couple so the cover is very gay too
@@argoskeas so yes?
Listening to a well done and proper cover of this song feels different as I still get flashbacks of Reinaeiry's version😭
COMMAND ME TO BE SNAIL
IM ON SPOTIFY NOW! open.spotify.com/artist/5yFx7P6bXwQ9ZXSwDjk2J2?si=pHeEMgQSQZmxl95leIR8tA
Will you be on apple music?
Omg, finally 😭😭😭💗
@@nemesisslayer863 yup!
@@JustinesMic Awesome! Can't wait
I'd kill for a voice like this. Your singing has a kind of haunting beauty that sticks with me long after the song is over.
Lyrics:
My lover's got humor
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshiped her sooner
If the Heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
"We were born sick", you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"
The only Heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
We were born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
A-, Amen, Amen, Amen
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
To drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine looking high horse
What d'you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Oh, oh, Amen, Amen
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
This is my first introduction to your channel. The original sounds more like a planned story. Perfectly told and worth listening to time and time again. This version sounds more raw, less planned. I love it. Excuse me while I check out the rest of your work
was NOT prepared for this. didn't know someone could one up hozier himself on this one. congratulations
The amount passion and emotion you put into singing this song makes it a million times better!
I love it so much omg she’s singing so beautifully! 💗💗💗
You’re voice is so powerful! I’m an actress and I often find it hard to sing while truly putting emotion into the lyrics, but its also one of my favorite things about singing. I also love searching for the emotions in others voices, and your voice… HOLY HELL! I can feel it so strongly, you really amaze me! Not to mention your roars and range, spectacular!! You’re such a talented artist!
This song makes me think of my relationship with my gf, and how my family will never feel the tenderness we do when we are ourselves and set all prejudice aside and just LOVE unconditionally. Love is like a religion, and personally I believe love is what makes a religion
oh my days, this cover of Hozier's song is absolutely breathtaking. I am usually not fond of Hozier covers because his voice is simply phenomenal and otherworldly, but your rendition has me head over heels. So strong, so powerful, the feeling behind the yearning is so pronounced, it's surreal! I also love how you didn't change the pronouns, making this a sapphic song, which i love with my entire heart. a million kudos!!!
My God, you surpass Hozier himself with your brassy, full, rich voice, your scoops and growls, your passion and anger adding whole new dimensions…wow. Thanks for making and sharing this gift.
I'm so happy u covered this song!! It's one of my faves. this was amazing omg 😍😍

The emotions I get from the art fits with your voice so well!
Oh man!! I was so excited for this and it’s even better than expected!! Such lovely emotion and composition!!
I've been listening to this *obsessively* for the past week. It's so good that I click on it every time I see it, and it just pulls me in like nothing else. Truly spectacular work.
The second chorus hits EXTRA HARD!
I love it so much! Your voice is just beatifull! ❤
This is simply amazing. The catharsis I felt was just so unreal and hearing this song for the first time really builds up the raw emotion. Chills all over, with a stunning performance.
