- Hozier's "Take Me To Church" is one of my all time favorite songs to come out of the last decade, and some of the amazing covers that have been done have let that song continue to live on towards infamy. So when he dropped a new single last month that's already reach number 1 on the top 100 on Billboard, it was no surprise for that to happen, and no shocker for me to want to listen to it for the first time here!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Hozier performing "Too Sweet" for the first time.

Most underestimated lyric in this song IMO: "Pretty as a vine, sweet as a grape, if you can sit in a barrel, maybe I'll wait"
I... just got it. I didn't the barrel line until just now. Wine. He's saying if she ferments (matures) into Wine, he'll be there.
@@OpDDay2001 I think something similar. He is saying she is too sweet and contrasts that with his love of black coffee, neat whiskey and hard living. Whiskey is distilled from grain and stored in barrels to mature. Same goes for Brandy which can be distilled from fruit, including grapes. So I think the analogy is for hard liquor rather than wine which ferments in bottles - point is of course that in the future she may become less sweet and be right for him.
his music is poetry i love it
How it’s underestimated? It was the part that went viral
@@analiamariarabelocavalcant5499 I am not aware of it going viral but if you say so I am happy to concede that. Admittedly, I didn't do a statistical survey of lyrics, or a line by line social penetration analysis. The context of this comment was the fact it was missed reaction video, to which this comment was appended - sorry if that was not self evident.
Only Hozier could write a song where he basically says:
"It's not you, it's me."
... and women still just swoon.
It really strikes me as a "bad boy" and "good girl" where they give it a go, but the song is the guy going, "want to give my way a go? No? Maybe we just don't fit."
But yeah, a "it's not you, it's me" kind of vibe.
Instead of "it's not you, it's me", it feels for me "we have different lives and needs, maybe we just do not fit"
@@Shane_Bozelie Yeah. That's why the joke works. 😁
The reason "It's not you, it's me" is viewed negatively is that it's generally a cop out and a way to avoid being real, wherein this song presents real and honest communication... which is sexy.
This works so much more with TCV putting together the wedding bells and the ensuing comment. I did not see that connection.
It might be, girl I fall out at 3.am....I am not gonna go too you're mother's on Sunday mornings.
This song has lived rent-free in my head for two full weeks.
Yep. It's still living here rent free 😂
Same
That's squatters for you. :)
Hozier is steeped in Folk and Blues and Jazz standards. I highly recommend you look into him even more. If you want to check out his lyricisms, some of my favorites are "Jackie and Wilson," "De Selby (Part 1)," "De Selby (Part 2)," "Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene," "Nina Cried Power," "Francesca," "Eat Your Young," and "Damage Gets Done."
He also did a live acapella version of one of my favorite Irish folk songs called "Humours of Whiskey" which I love so much!
Nina cried power is an extraordinary song. The video makes me cry every time too. Thoroughly recommend!!
Yes please
Definitely! All the Hozier, he makes the most wonderful music AND seems to be a good egg ❤
"Work song" is what really turned me into him. Been in love with him since
The live version of Nina Cried Power with Mavis Staples: so freaking great!
I was lucky to see him in a smallish place (Bowery Ballroom,NYC- a venue I love) for a cheap price. It was a special sneaky announcement during his MSG gig (sold out and way to expensive). And I was lucky enough to get a ticket! I did not get to see, but that same week he played a bunch of songs at the back of a restaurant. I saw it live online so I wonder if it’s on TH-cam?
The year prior, I saw him at a medium-sized venue (great seats) when he toured Wasteland, Baby!
Since then I just can’t afford tix. I was just lucky with the gig at Bowery Ballroom. Standing only, low stage: they don’t oversell so it’s comfortable and you can see from anywhere.
One good thing about living in NYC: lots of opportunities to hear music one loves. I was fortunate enough to accidentally see Hozier 5+ years ago… when I was going home after work, (in midtown) at a subway station down by the tracks. He sang 5 songs including Take Me to Church (first song-I missed most of it); Work Song; Nina Cried Power.
Other musicians have played in subway stations including Ed Sheeran and U2.
The least expensive at his upcoming shows in Queens, NYC in June are just too expensive plus it’s a long subway ride from me in Brooklyn, 3 trains. And it’s a big outdoor stadium. My good friend lives a few blocks away: she said you can plainly hear shows when standing outside. So maybe a last minute decision… depending on the weather…
Finally more Hozier. I love the metal analysis but we need a look into Hoziers lung power.
ugh for real. agreed.
Shame he is now a raging liberal like most celebs scared to have own opinions. Well in public anyway
Not really the lungs providing the power but I understand you!
'Arsonist's Lullaby' is my all time favorite song by Hozier but this song is a close second ❤
I was going to comment something similar and I was scrolling and found you had the same opinion as me.
I came to say pretty much this!
It's one of my top 2 songs of all time. I'm so sad more people don't know it!
I don't know this song! Will check it out.
Mine's Movement
I was lucky enough to see him perform this song live for the first time in Raleigh on 4/20. I got the tickets for my daughter-but I left the show a fan myself. If you get a chance to see him live, do it! So fun!
I was there too! It was an absolutely amazing beautiful night! His concert videos are the only concert vids I actually rewatch lol
oh wow, i thought this day would never come ;)
One could’ve always hoped !
Me too!!!!!
i have also been waiting so much to hear her cover Hozier
My reading of the TSA line is that everything is closely monitored and controlled, whereas he drinks, smokes and just dgaf...
Her body is a temple (ref. Heaven's gate), his is a theme park! 😂
I agree. Basically just two ways of saying she is very careful about what she eats/drinks/puts in her body, as opposed to him.
Being careful just means different things to some. For example, I'm more frightened of distracted driving than I am of drunk driving. Not all of my family and friends agree with me on that, but then...all of their crashes have been bc of distraction...and none of them drink...
I think the line about "heavens gate" may possibly be referencing the cult too??
Hozier did the credit song for god of war ragnarok, the lyrics are so brutal and real (no idea if he wrote it himself) but still so beautiful, combined with his voice and the instruments was all I needed to be in love with this man's voice
He did write the lyrics!
The title is "Blood Upon the Snow"
@@beth_winegarner i am sure he did because as someone who is actively learning music i keep getting recommended him as a song writer, but saw reddit being dicks to him. so this makes sense!! he is awesome so far from my deep dive i am obsessed!!
YES HOZIER!!!!! I definitely agree, he's got one of the best voices in radio today and his songwriting is just as good. If you want to check out more, his last album is SPECTACULAR, best lyrics and vocals he's ever done IMO. He really uses his whole entire range in Who We Are, that song blows me away every time
FINALLY!! I've been waiting for Hozier for so long!!
Meee tooooooo
Sameee
this is what it looks like to be a real fan. nice to see someone passionate about an artist's work without obsessing over their life.
I got to see him perform this LIVE for the FIRST TIME EVER and it was absolutely incredible!!
It sounds even better in person!!❤
I am in love with your ability to be so transparent and open with your excitement over good music; it's infectious. It always makes me smile to see someone so passionate about their craft. Honestly, it inspires me and reminds me to stay open and honest about who I really am and what sparks my genuine excitement like you do with music. Thanks for all of your content, you've got me nerding out over metal screams and vocal folds, and scaring people, probably looking batsh*t insane as I'm driving down the freeway practicing screaming new vocal techniques on the way to work.
If you'd like to check out more Hozier I cannot recommend his song Francesca more highly. Since it was released last year it has become my favorite love song ever recorded 😍 It has a number of REALLY good live recordings as well where he shows off his ability to switch vocal 'modes' on a whim even more. It's really spectacular.
The one he did in Glastonbury was gorgeous 😍 gave me the Cranberries vibes at the end.
I think he says “you treat your mouth as if it’s Heaven’s gate” because only good things can get in, “the rest of you like you’re the TSA” because they’re very careful about what gets through it. The girl he’s describing makes only really healthy decisions about what she eats and what she does, which is the crux of why he’s saying they’re not compatible, because he likes drinking whiskey and staying up too late and doesn’t really care about longevity as much as he does enjoying the little time he has alive. She’s literally too good for his taste - too sweet.
Absolutely ❤❤❤
A dose of giddy Elizabeth always goes down smooth. Thanks, Hozier.
Seen Hozier live a few times now, and he's just fantastic. The voice, the lyrics... just fantastic. (Seeing him again in June and I can't wait!!!)
never seen him live but going through the comments seeing this same gorgeous narrative makes me wonder how isn't bigger. i just discovered him off this song and i am shoooooooooooooook.
Seeing him in September! So excited
Just saw him this week for the second time and he was amazing! Again! I will totally go see him again in the future.
IDK if you’re seen the subway platform version of Take Me to Church
Or, “It will Come Back” live sessions version.
Both are a absolutely amazing
Ooh! I need to dig through her catalog to see if she responded to that, because you can really see his form in the subway video!
seconding this!
This song has been my new obsession! So excited for this video!
Fun fact: in one of his posts about the song, he said it’s partially inspired by an Irish phrase that can describe someone as “too sweet to be savory.”
Now you have to do his song Blood Upon the Snow! End credits song for God of War Ragnarok. I’d recommend a playthrough beforehand but that’s a 50+ hour commitment 😂
The song is amazing on its own, but yeah, after you have played through it is so much more tear jerking.
Hozier has become my favorite singer. This is my anytime voice. It instantly shifts my mood ❤
He was in a choir called Anúna before he went solo and they do La Chanson De Mardi Gras which features him solo. There is a live video performance of it as well.
"Who We Are" and "I, Icarion" are two of my absolute favorites of his songs rn I definitely recommend listening to them!
I, Carrion is one of his best IMO! His voice combined with the lyrics and the music of that song sounds so timeless. Francesca is amazing but I Carrion truly sounds like an ancient love story. And the way he injects the emotions into it - the love, desperation, and acceptance. I could talk about it all day long
I sincerely appreciate the fact you picked a lyric video. Being deaf, I normally use my live captions from my iPhone or iPad. But the subtitles already there makes it nice once in a while.
You don’t have to do all lyrics videos. I have ways to use my captions but once in a great while, it’s nice lol.
Well she didn't have a choice with this one as they only released the video version yesterday..
He is absolutely one of the best. His songwriting always gets me. He is a master of a turning of a phrase and knows how to compose in a way that makes the song just stick into you.
I'm sooooo happy you reacted to Hozier!!! My daughter is using his song "Like Real People Do" for her wedding song (first dance) and an acoustic music only version to walk down the aisle to. I absolutely LOVE this artist! Please check out more. :)
The lyric videos visuals are there because this song was written for his album Unreal Unearth! The aesthetic of that album was all dirt and stuff like that. It's one of my favorite albums of all time, AMAZING listen, highly recommend
omg i just discovered him. did he do the dirt thing because people seemed to write him off aa one hit person? i saw that on reddit but i am floored because i am astonished by his gorgeous voice and lyrics. i am so curious about him and know nothing
@@glitterfoxez He has done some pretty in depth interviews for this album cycle and fans have made some very comprehensive album breakdowns here on YT, those sources might be more illuminating for you
The Songs ICarrion and Butchered Tongue are really deep. Had to google a bit on both. Butchered Tongue in particular is a really rough topic to covet in a song
Unreal Unearth is supposed to follow the journey of Dante's Inferno, which is why the dirt/worms sort of focus. De Selby 1 and 2 are based on a book called The Policeman, and introduces it, then you go through the different circles of hell. There is a LOT of lore/lyrics digging out there, if you look!
I saw him last night! The bass was even more “gnarly” live.
I saw him live last year and hearing him sing live was so mesmerising! His voice sounds soo good live and has a certain power that I only felt in the concert hall❤
Arsonist’s Lullaby has to be your next Hozier song. One of my all time favorites from Hozier.
It iis indeed one of my favs❤❤❤
You neeeeeed to hear De Selby part 1 & 2, they are technically two songs but flow right into each other. You are gonna loveeee every moment of it! So glad you’re getting into Hozier!!
Hozier is one of my all time favorite artists! Thank you so much for analyzing his music! 💛
I just love his voice, story telling, and sense for flow, drive, and rhythm. Both Unreal Unearth and Wasteland Baby are incredible albums worth listening to. If you want a treat to analyze, I highly recommend his live session of De Selby (1) and De Selby (2) - including a treat of Irish accent to have a linguistic nerd-out regarding dialects and their specific phonations :)
This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. No kidding. It's been stuck in my head for weeks now. Not only is the melody just so catchy.... the lyrics are SO cool, and the sound is so unique. Love this one. Thanks for the vocal analysis.
PLEEEASE delve deeper into the Hozier catalog! An absolute gold mine. Literally everything on Unreal Unearth… so excited to see the analysis to his works!!🙌🏼🙌🏼
Wow. This is awesome. I agree with everything you say. I was hooked instantly with that baseline. Thank you for introducing this to me. You rock
QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE
Yes! I LOVE QOTSA! "No One Knows", "Go With the Flow", "Sick, Sick, Sick", "Make It Wit Chu", so amazing songs.
Please!
@@t.b.m.b. QOTSA are my favorite band but there are better songs to show vocal skills for Josh Homme (or maybe "In the fade" with Mark Lanegan)
Holy 1970s Batman! That sound was so perfect for the decade. Love this! Elizabeth strikes again! I think I wan to hear more Hozier...
I am just so happy you reacted to this. Hozier is the best!
Arsonist's Lullaby, In A Week, and It Will Come Back. His voice... just soooooo amazing.
I was obsessed with Take Me to Church and this latest song is stuck in my head... absolutely brilliant with an infectious bass line. And so love your analysis! Thank you!
I was down in the dumps, then I heard this song on the radio, got me feeling refreshed. It's such an amazing song, sung by an amazing artist.
Ive been obsessed with the entire album. Butchered tongue is amazing!
What a voice!!! I loved 'Take me to Church' and didn't think it could get much better from that, then his collaboration with Meduza with "Tell it to my Heart' was next level ... BUT ... 'Too Sweet' is OUT OF THIS WORLD good! I'm very proud of this fellow Irishman!
your commentary always points out so many new things for me to love about these songs so im so excited to see you do this one!!
Total genius!! Vocal perfection!!! I LOVE the Bass, but OMG his vocal control is awesome - what a beautiful song! One of best songs of all time!!!
this is the channel i always am so eager to come back to every niw and then! your amazing reviews and breakdown of songs, the techniques, the appreciation of the artist is one of a kind. sending love to ya and your stunning family, Elizabeth! :)
Thank you for this video review. I loooove this song ❤ You’re so expressive and smiley. It’s radiates 🙌 I had a big smile on my face the entire video ☺️🫶💕
So many songs on the radio at work get old fast.
This one brings joy to my heart
This song is such a bop! The rythm and bass actually makes me think of LP's Lost on You a bit. Another one of my favorites.
I'm so excited to see you do Hozier again. ❤
Im going to see him this Tuesday! 😁
how i interpreted "you treat your mouth as if it's haven gate" is like someone who refuses to put junk, or anything "too sinful" in their mouth. treating it like a temple like you said. and the "the rest of you like you're the tsa" as in they're being just as strict with the rest of their body's "security". the symbolism/metaphors in this song slap almost harder than the bass IMO. i love love love this kind of imagery in music. truly a wordsmith and a master of his craft. and that verse that comes after, tells me this isn't someone they want to outright reject from their life. they're just someone who needs to "lose a little of their sweetness" to be palatable. cause they go on to say "babe don't get me wrong, you're as bright as the morning, as soft as the rain, pretty as a vine, as sweet as a grape", but he's saying he doesn't want the grapes, he wants the wine!. "if you can sit in a barrel," THEN "maybe I'll wait" but until then they're going to "take my whisky neat, my coffee black, and my bed at 3" i.e. I'll enjoy the bitter things in life that are real/more palatable to me. this song blew me away. i spent 6+ hours listening to it so I can try and sing It for karaoke asap.
YESSSSSS FINALLY
MORE HOZIER PLEASE!!
The way you descibred what makes his voice so gorgeous is so accurate - it's that control between light and airy and condensed across his whole range. Plus, lyrics, man does lyrics
His voice, I just love everything he does. Your analysis is on point, love how you break it down.
Yes. Hozier. You rock E. He has such a sweet voice. Maybe Northern Attitude with Noah Kahan(toughest ticket in showbiz right now) and Hozier next up?
I did a really cool Hozier collab analysis over on Patreon, but this will be the first analysis I've posted on TH-cam. I truly LOVE his voice (obviously since I love "Take Me To Church" so much) so we'll see if this goes anywhere!
Noah Kahan is really killing it vocally now. And, he and Hozier are good buds and frequent collaborators. Really some of the best music being released. I’m so happy I watched Elizabeth’s reaction before the song set up in my head. Every listening I’ll be reveling in his nuances.
Northern Attitude is a wonderfully written and performed song 👍
I love Hozier so much, he can't make a bad song, and this one has been stuck in my head ever since it's release. I'm finally going to see him in Aug!! Been waiting 10 years!!! More please!
I had not heard this song before but greatly enjoyed it. Always fun to be at the premiere for each new video on this channel. Elizabeth and her husband Kirk make the chat great fun. Premieres are every Monday, Tuesday and Friday, starting at 11 AM EDT. I try to attend each one, so I get introduced to many new artists.
Wow, that is a really beautiful song, I really enjoy Hozier and his general sound! Loved the review and breakdown!
I need a Hozier album analysis! love hozier and love your content!
Omg this makes me sooo happyyyyy. Do more Hozier please!!
I heard this on the radio yesterday for the first time, and while I couldn't pay full attention cus I was driving I did think it was great. Now I'm able to listen to it properly for the first time right along with you and I LOOOOOOVEEE it!! I've loved Hozier for years and this just gave me chills! (yes I have a fever right now, but that is not the point)
Great job, that summarize was really good, I'm impressed with how fast it was too! I wanna get one to go alongside my smartphone. I'm also impressed with the fluid natural voice model.
Your giggles and excitement makes my heart flutter
Loved this video - first I've seen of yours. Subscribed and excited to see more.
Her reaction is so genuine ! I've watched a ton of her videos that spanned Boston to Skid Row. Can't say I've ever seen her so giddy. Lol BTW love this song!
He’s so talented it’s crazy! You have so many amazing songs to explore
This song has been stuck in my head since it came out, and watching you listen to it with such joy makes me happy in a way I didn't expect 😊
Yes yes yes!!!!! Please react to more Hozier, I would love to know what you think of Francesca, particularly the Glastonbury live version 😊
Sound of silence
5:18 5:21
Sound of silencese
6:16 6:17 6:17 6:17 6:17 6:18
You’re so stinkin’ cute Elizabeth, I just love watching you enjoy and break down music videos, it always puts a smile on my face…😊💜💜
Thank you for this. This man is a brilliant musician, vocalist, songwriter, poet. Obsessed! I suggest you take a deeper look at him.
I saw him live once and he was absolutely breathtaking in a very minimalistic way. One of my favorites ever since❤
I've been waiting forever for you to show some Hozier, so many damn good songs and that voice...
He's incredible to see live, an outstanding front-man. I was able to see Hosier in Southampton a few years ago.
I actually found this song on TikTok and immediately went to look for it on You-Tube now I can't stop listening to it, I've been listening to it on repeat and there's also a female version made by Reinaeiry wich is also very good
excited for him and excited to hear the song!!!
Was just learning this on guitar and then i saw she had already reviewed this. Was so happy
I saw an interview with Hozier and he said that this comes from a saying back home “You’re too sweet to be savory.” Such a great song!
Your videos are great keep up the great work 👍
I thought this is the first time ive heard of this band but after checking out "Take Me To Church" I have definitely heard them before.. I checked out "Too Sweet" it is a very good song but now we need a metal cover of it.
I would agree, but I think it's too soon for a cover?
@TheCharismaticVoice ok maybe not this early but we all know sooner or later dan vasc will find this song
Leo will be on it soon, I'm sure.
Not a band. Hozier is the artist's name ;)
He already did it. His metal version of this song is breathtaking ❤
Not sure if you've heard much from Cold, but the song Quiet Now puts me in tears when I hear it. Scooter Ward is such a beautifully tragic soul and it shines through his performance. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend.
I had not listened to this song suprisingly until i heard it live the other night. It was like the music grabbed me by the shirt and just pulled me in to it. Hard to explain really but it literally blew me away for those 4 minutes. Fantastic song.
Love Hozier! I am seeing him live in August, my second time seeing him.
Ν Ο Τ Η Ι Ν G - B U T - T H I E V E S
I was about to comment this! Big second for NBT!
Real Love Song. I think Elizabeth would love it
pleasee do more Hozier! his songs are amazingg
I love this band... solid.... As it Was is one of my favorite songs they have
ive been waiting so long for a Hozier song to be done !
I really had a stressful day. Seeing you beam and enjoying this song is sooo great!
There's an AMAZING live performance by Hozier and Bear McCreary at the Game awards for GoW: Ragnarok's soundtrack song "Blood Upon the Snow"
Also features Bear on a Hurdy Gurdy! (th-cam.com/video/qzcqvPneP0k/w-d-xo.html)
His voice is haunting.
Your giggle while you jam out😊 so cute
ahhh please as much as i love too sweet and it's so cool to see you analyze and gush over it hehe, he has much "deeper" songs that i'd love for you to listen! he's such a great vocalist and guitarist, you need to listen to his live performances! recommend swan upon leda, unknown and icarion (some of my recent favs lol) hope to see more hozier on your channel!!
More Hozier!! More!
His voice sounds like melted butter
I love him singing the whiskey song, he has such a pure voice
It's fantastic
i really love your reaction to him too
I was fortunate enough to see Hozier at the Sydney Opera House. The acoustics were amazing…… he is amazing🥰
Absolutely stand out voice.
