These days, it's a rare thing to find an artist who sounds better live than they do in a pre-recording. By far an away one of the most talented people I've heard in years.
So true. There is no differences between his voice recorded and live. He is not like those high heads of hollywood and those high head producers. He is himslef and you can feel it in each and everone of his songs.
it's cus he isn't dependent on vocal editing in the production. i really like rob kirwins productions but you're right i think he sounds just as good here, if not better.
Yeah I completely agree! It's so good to see musicians creating real music with real instruments. Sure beats the canned variety we're fed through the mainstream.
It's cool that you correlated talent in that way :) He takes complexity to a higher or deeper (however you may see that kind of thing) level and simplifies it in the layout of his lyric. I like how he addresses subjects I like to call "the P words"...passion, piety, perfection, pride, pointing crooked fingers from a mile high pedestal and pontification from behind a glass pulpit...my grandmother was Irish and good at that as well, so I have an uncanny appreciation for unpretentiousness. He takes a full circle approach to human behaviors and the underlying psychology behind them, which is SO my cup of tea ;)...I could go on for days...LOL. The way he puts it out there is amazingly accurate because it's as you described so well...360 degrees of pure humanism. It's the one point of interest we all share and it's also what makes his music so very interesting to me. Of course the guitar works too ;)
Choir nerd here. I do too! When he sings normally, he’s using a part of his voice called “mixed voice”, which is called so because it is in between the raspy “chest voice” and clear “head voice”. (All of these are called “vocal registers” if you want to learn more about any of this.)When he does those little “tweaks” he’s flipping into his head voice so the voice breaks then goes abruptly but beautifully into head voice. (This is the same thing yodel-ers do, except they usually do it from their chest voice to get a clearer break in between the two, leaving mixed voice out entirely.) beautiful, right?! Sorry I hope you don’t mind me unloading facts on you but I just thought you are someone else who stumbles across this comment might like to know what and how he does that!
Babe, there's something tragic about you Something so magic about you Don't you agree? Babe, there's something lonesome about you Something so wholesome about you Get closer to me No tired sighs, no rolling eyes, no irony No 'who cares', no vacant stares, no time for me Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door Babe, there's something wretched about this Something so precious about this [Live version inclusion: Where to begin Babe, there's something broken about this But I might be hoping about this.] Oh, what a sin To the strand a picnic plan for you and me A rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree
Exquisite work. There are full novels within this man's songs. Even as an author, I still covet Hozier's way of saying so much using so few words. Such cool verbal economy. A true poet. Bravo, my man! I WILL be copping that album!
crazy to listen to this in 2020. He sounds so young! Still talented of course. But I feel like his overall sound has matured. Been fortunate enough to see him live twice. Always amazing.
I could never get tired of hearing him sing. It's absolute perfection. I swear I had autoplay on and I didn't realize this was live until I heard a few differences in the way he sings some parts of it. I always love it when I come across an artist who sounds good (if not better in his case) live.
This Artist is my NEW ALL TIME FAVORITE,,dear God he's talented and controversial. At the same time not pointing any fingers, he's quite BRILLIANT and his voice, is absolutely. Amazing! I can listen to his voice and music forever on end. These lyrics a supernatural! !! AWESOME Hozier!
Take Me to Church was my first exposure to Hozier. I was mesmerized by the voice, the song, and the delivery. Artists that freeze me in my tracks and send chills through my body are rare. I'm having a hard time putting into words how amazed I am with the Album and the Videos. Outstanding.
Hozier, a wonderful poet. While I am writing my book, only Hozier plays. Puts me in a certain emotional state to create. Thank you for sharing your art.

Out of curiosity i start finding out what artists were Irish. If i was to list what i've found then jaws would drop. An embarrassment of riches and its awesome.
Seeing the cello in action during this song is amazing. Watching them perform it without a crowd or any pressures is so fun; it gives us a look at them just enjoying what they do. Fuck I love music.
Proof that music sounds best with as few things getting in the way as possible. The simplicity and honesty of the attic set-up makes for a song and a shared moment that captures all of our hearts. x
Honey, you're familiar; like my mirror years ago. Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword Innocence died screaming; honey, ask me, I should know! I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door... So underrated. Beautifully written...borderline genius
In no particular order, the best singer/songwriters from UK and Ireland now ~~~ Hozier (incredible voice), George Ezra (great voice, bluesy music), Johnny Flynn (one of a kind renaissance man, great musician and lyricist)
I feel like this has more emotion in it. And not only that it feels more real and conveying the actual feelimg more than the recorded version. Hhhhhh this man is beautiful and I can't get enough
I love watching these older videos he produced before being big over here. Different arrangements and different melodies... gives me hope for my music!
Why he isn't he more famous I don't know. CLASS! I hope he won't get any more famous tho'. I don't need every moron listening to these songs and ruining them for all of us.
krakou2 I meant album production, events in venues other than obscure studios and talk-shows. Now that I've cleared that up. You're the closest thing to the stereotype of idiot online troll. Cheers
Damn I wish people would go explore their town and find guys like this. Give small musicians a chance and find gems like Hozier not keep digging in that top 50 shit.
I listen to dis song about 20 times a day- there is someting tragic about all of us. We are who we were so long ago before we knew who we we would be in dis life-
I don't normally comment on anything but this has truly moved something within me. Not just this song but all of them. I've had you on repeat for the last week and shared with anyone who will listen. The last time I felt like this was listening to Jeff Buckley. I hope to see you in Ireland in the summer.
What a voice! Love the unique three piece, guitar, cello, drums. Something fresh - a great song....sooooo catchy ... great arrangement and liquid gold voice to die for.

💯
Hozier had me at “Babe”.
sameee
Me too ❤xx
Every once in a while you stumble upon something unique and beautiful that makes you think there may be hope for music.....
Your perfect..😍
We'll said he can be great
Yeah I completely agree! It's so good to see musicians creating real music with real instruments. Sure beats the canned variety we're fed through the mainstream.
I agree as well. 360 degrees of talent all day long!

I love that tweak in his voice at every "baaaaaaabe"

@@alildaisy2180 loved the explanation.
Thank you. 😊
born to do this.
I wish I was born as him
Toda la razon
jesus. this one is better than the produced version. i like this dude
Yea the album one doesnt have the same intensity as this one.
He needs a live album like this
It's that unplugged feel that nirvana and Alice in chains had. To me those versions sounded so much better than the original
Finally after listening to this song on TH-cam for 10 years, I got to see Hozier perform live 3 days ago. Dreams do come true 🙂
I just saw him finally last week! I literally cried during cherry wine - never had that I experience at a concert
@@vn43twelve finally saw him a few months ago, cherry wine got me too lol
I saw him a few days ago! I'm still in heaven
I’ve just come back from his concert and he’s phenomenal live, just enchanting and so soulful 💓
holy shit. his voice is absolutely phenomenal
Agreed! Breathtaking.
LisaES98 nukkyjnmm

His voice is everything, I swear UK and IRELAND has the best singers. Thank you lord for this wonderful voice. AMEN
he is actually Irish, from Wicklow on east coast
Hes irish stop trying to steal everything from us !
He's irish!
thank you .are they trying to claim him lol
Yeahh ugh Martin Aherne
Hozier and James Bay are such amazing artists that I can replay their songs a million times and never get tired of it
Janet Vo Soooo true
+Janet Vo Yes! They are two of my favorites.
yessss listen to Tom Odell too if you haven't listened to him before is so amazing
Janet Vo and Kaleo
Reckon you'd like jack savoretti too
I'm not religious but I reckon this is what Jesus sounded like.
funny when u think about how the song's about a love from the devil's perspective
The irony

Maybe something HISTORICAL IS REALLY HAPPENING HERE??? 🤔 ❤😅
His voice is from eden
love the cello player on this, he's having a good time. Didn't realize a cello could be so much fun!
I don't think I've ever been this is love with one artist's music.
"BAAAAABE" haha oh man, I could listen to that over and over...
YESSSS
Babe, there's something tragic about you
Something so magic about you
Don't you agree?
Babe, there's something lonesome about you
Something so wholesome about you
Get closer to me
No tired sighs, no rolling eyes, no irony
No 'who cares', no vacant stares, no time for me
Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
Babe, there's something wretched about this
Something so precious about this
[Live version inclusion:
Where to begin
Babe, there's something broken about this
But I might be hoping about this.]
Oh, what a sin
To the strand a picnic plan for you and me
A rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree
Exquisite work. There are full novels within this man's songs. Even as an author, I still covet Hozier's way of saying so much using so few words. Such cool verbal economy. A true poet. Bravo, my man! I WILL be copping that album!
his voice is an instrument in itself i could listen to it forever

Completely agree :)
I agree with you!!
how is he controversial ?
@@arlinnicole6068 he supports lgbtq people, which makes him controversial to some, but awesome to people like me :)
Ooooooo look an artist who actually sounds just like they do on their album when they sing live...
Take Me to Church was my first exposure to Hozier. I was mesmerized by the voice, the song, and the delivery. Artists that freeze me in my tracks and send chills through my body are rare. I'm having a hard time putting into words how amazed I am with the Album and the Videos. Outstanding.
I'll happily 'take him to church' 7 days a week!!😅😅😅😅
Omg baby Alex on drums and fetus Andrew have me weak!!
This one is still my favourite version.
I agree
Some people are born with a voice and a soul that are meant to share. Hozier is one of them.
i remember seeing this in my recommended videos almost 11 years ago idk why i clicked it but im so happy i did :) so so proud of how far he's come
There is something so special about this song, I always start smiling when I hear it.
Hozier, a wonderful poet.
While I am writing my book, only Hozier plays. Puts me in a certain emotional state to create. Thank you for sharing your art.
These Irish men and their lyrical souls make me weak
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Babe
There's something tragic about you
Something so magic about you
Don't you agree?
Babe
There's something lonesome about you
Something so wholesome about you
Get closer to me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
No tired sigh, no rolling eyes
No irony
No "Who cares?", no vacant stare
No time for me
[Chorus]
Honey, you're familiar, like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on his sword
Innocence died screaming; honey, ask me, I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
[Verse 2]
Babe
There's something wretched about this
Something so precious about this
Where to begin?
Babe
There's something broken about this
But I might be hoping about this
Oh, what a sin
[Pre-Chorus 2]
To the strand, a picnic planned
For you and me
A rope in hand for your other man
To hang from a tree
[Chorus]
Honey, you're familiar, like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on his sword
Innocence died screaming; honey, ask me, I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Honey, you're familiar, like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on his sword
Innocence died screaming; honey, ask me, I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to hide outside your door
5/4 time signature!!! Never really heard, very talented human being and I love him!
Out of curiosity i start finding out what artists were Irish. If i was to list what i've found then jaws would drop. An embarrassment of riches and its awesome.
U said it amazing talent here.
This is Gods country ;)
Love
Well you know they say that if it hadn't been for whiskey, the Irish would rule the world.
What other Irish artists do you recommend?
He is lyrically amazing. And that voice is soulful and beautiful. I wish more music sounded this heartfelt.
Irish musical talent is alive and well !
This song has haunted me since I first heard it. I can't get it out of my head. I love all his work but for some reason this one... wow. LOVE it.
he honestly sounds better live and it blows me away
Brilliant. " our music did survive through famine and oppression " and Xfactor.
Seeing the cello in action during this song is amazing. Watching them perform it without a crowd or any pressures is so fun; it gives us a look at them just enjoying what they do. Fuck I love music.
Proof that music sounds best with as few things getting in the way as possible. The simplicity and honesty of the attic set-up makes for a song and a shared moment that captures all of our hearts. x
This is the video that I first discovered Hozier in 7 years ago. Came back to reminisce. Not disappointed. Forgot how much I love this guy.
Nice - love the 5/4 time and his voice and melody. Real refreshing. Reminds me of early Van Morrison. Good stuff!
I couldn't agree more! I'm a ridiculous fan of van morrison and that exactly what I thought whilst listening :)
First one I have seen comment on the fact that it is in 5! I love this.
That first note just killed me... officially a fan! :)
+Nikki95 (NikkiBABY) - exactly !!!! The first note and then that opening lyric, instant fan
Honey, you're familiar; like my mirror years ago.
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
Innocence died screaming; honey, ask me, I should know!
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door...
So underrated. Beautifully written...borderline genius
Actually in love with this song right now, its amazing
good !very good!
I have to agree mister Luthieri!!!
he has an excellent work,great! Anja,see you there...
this is really fun to revisit--so bright and devastating at the same time.
Beautiful soul truly from the heart.Thank for sharing your heart it woke mine up.
This is still my favorite version of this song. His vocals, his guitar, the cello, and the drums. That's all this needs
Here I am still watching this seven years later.
Saw you live in October 2019 and it was truly a masterful performance.
Like wine to the soul
Thanks to Hozier, for reminding me that music is magic. I'm in love with this.
Amidst so much crap out there, this is simply a massive breath of fresh air.
Beautiful, original, soulful - Thank you.....
Hozier, I love these in-studio videos! I just adore your talent, your voice and those beautiful, long, talented fingers of yours! sigh!
One of those special songs that will stand the test of time. And no gimmicks or over-production. Classy.
I just fall in love with this song everyday!
Good Lord. It feels like his voice does things to me no other artist ever has.
*Runs to the corner & melts in a puddle.*
His voice. Wow.😄😅😊☺👍🚟
Arrangement - brilliant, voice - soulful, lyrics - poetic genius! Love, love, love him!!!
Can't stop watching this live session!!!
In no particular order, the best singer/songwriters from UK and Ireland now ~~~ Hozier (incredible voice), George Ezra (great voice, bluesy music), Johnny Flynn (one of a kind renaissance man, great musician and lyricist)
Wow this is just brilliant. So glad I've found you
I feel like this has more emotion in it. And not only that it feels more real and conveying the actual feelimg more than the recorded version.
Hhhhhh this man is beautiful and I can't get enough
This is one of my new favorite songs. I really appreciate this song. It tears me up, happily almost every time. 🙏
That´s the music i´like to hear, no mainstream, a litle old-style and perfect in strict time!!!
Like it!!
You guys are amazing. Your voice is so smooth. Pure talent.
Simple language, imperfect realities, profound truths. I'm a fan of his writing and voice.
Amazing addicted to Hozier , best wishes to you all the success you surely deserves will come your way .
There is nothing better than Hozier's live session videos! Love him and his music!
I was beginning to think there was no more good music until I heard these guys.
Wow! You aren't kidding. Love their sound
My favorite artist I can't get over how talented he is it's almost supernatural
Best Song Ever
I love watching these older videos he produced before being big over here. Different arrangements and different melodies... gives me hope for my music!
Why he isn't he more famous I don't know. CLASS! I hope he won't get any more famous tho'. I don't need every moron listening to these songs and ruining them for all of us.
Amen! :D
+110 000 000 other morons like you viewed take me to church, too mainstream for you now ;)
krakou2 128,000,000+ now. :)
mimi parker ha ha say hello to Alan :)
krakou2 I meant album production, events in venues other than obscure studios and talk-shows. Now that I've cleared that up. You're the closest thing to the stereotype of idiot online troll.
Cheers
Founded hes music so accidently, and now I'm so grateful for it! He is simply amazing, hes voice is the best proof of God's exhistance!
I can stare at him all day without getting bored.
Seriously
Amen.
I am so obsessed with him right now. I listen ALL the time. Pissed I can't get tickets to any of his shows here in the US
Not everyone can pull off a 5/4 time signature piece. Love it!
this song will forever remind me of the one who healed my heart and then broke it all over again. its beautiful, sad, and lovely.
the moment the intro comes on and the "BABE!"... I'm in heaven
Me too...
What can I even say as to put a label on this song..
These lyrics have a mind of their own, and they have taken flight inside my heart.
His voice is so freaking smooth and the lyrics are so meaningful and he's fantastic. Hozier is one of my new favorite artists.
Damn I wish people would go explore their town and find guys like this. Give small musicians a chance and find gems like Hozier not keep digging in that top 50 shit.
Hozier is so perfect ❤ so is this song
"Honey you're familiar, like my mirror years ago"
So simple, yet so dynamic. The power in the 3 instruments...and his voice. It works. I love, love this music.
Hey Hozier ~ Please make this available for us fans to buy!!!!! We need to support you and I love love love this song ~ thank you thank you :)
I listen to dis song about 20 times a day- there is someting tragic about all of us. We are who we were so long ago before we knew who we we would be in dis life-
The Best music EVER!!! Im already waiting for new album!!!
He's so precious it actually hurts. i love you!!!!!!!
I don't normally comment on anything but this has truly moved something within me. Not just this song but all of them. I've had you on repeat for the last week and shared with anyone who will listen. The last time I felt like this was listening to Jeff Buckley. I hope to see you in Ireland in the summer.
Thanks for the love and support over the years where are you writing from?
It takes mad talent to create a song this catchy in 5/4 time. Hozier mixes musical complexity and catchy melodies like nobody else!
I can't stop listening to this😍
How can you dislike this guy?? Really best voice to come out of Ireland in years
How can be so talented?
His music is so good. I can never stop listening to it. One day, I will see him live.
This is amazing, your songs are brilliant. Glad to know there's still hope for future music
I can't get over how much I love this song. It's such a fantastic song.
he's so perfect like can I touch his face
What a voice! Love the unique three piece, guitar, cello, drums. Something fresh - a great song....sooooo catchy ... great arrangement and liquid gold voice to die for.
Thanks for the love and support over the years where are you writing from?
