Lyrics:
True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
A willow dancing on air before covering me
Under cotton and calicos
Over canopy dapple long ago
True that love in withdrawal was the weeping of me
That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
Must be felled for to fight the cold
Fretted fire but that was long ago
[Chorus]
It's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Where I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)
Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)
Oh, it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
And the fire bright (Oh, oh)
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
Oh, but you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
Oh, but you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
With the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet
Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat
Settle soft and as pure as snow
I fell in love with the fire long ago
With each love I cut loose, I was never the same
Watching still-living roots be consumed by the flame
I was fixed on your hand of gold
Laying waste to my lovin' long ago
[Chorus]
But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Where I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)
Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)
And it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
And the fire bright (Oh, oh)
Oh, let it blaze alright, honey (Oh, oh)
Oh, but you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
Oh, but you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
[Verse 3]
So in awe, there I stood as you licked off the grain
Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
As long as amber of ember glows
All the "would" that I'd loved is long ago
[Chorus]
And it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Where I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
And I blink in sight (Oh, oh)
Of your blinding light (Oh, oh)
Oh, it's not tonight (Oh, oh)
Where you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
And the fire bright (Oh, oh)
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
Oh, you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
Oh, but you're good to me (Oh, oh)
Oh, oh, you're good to me, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
Oh, but you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
This is one of the most poetic songs he’s written. basically he’s saying that his present-day romance has helped him overcome past heartbreak. It’s better than all his previous loves.
This is a love letter in which he tells an old love that he has searched for her in every woman he’s loved. That he’s loved souls more akin to trees and that he himself is a tree but that he somehow finds himself craving the fire.
This song makes me think of:
Ren fairs
Dresses
Running through a forest
Playing in a creek
Exploring nature
Autumn
Trees
Fairies
Dancing
DND campaigns
Dreaming
Playing in the woods as a kid
Spending time with a beloved pet
Going on a trip into the mountains
Watching a sunset
Hugging a loved one
Flower fields
Cozy bonfires
Revisiting a childhood place
Reading a really good high fantasy book
Sewing a costume
Looking forward to the future
Dancing with imaginer friend
Flash backs of good times with you and a friend that doesn’t live no where close to you no more
Hozier says he's not a fae and goes and writes shit like this
I guess it's kinda off topic but do anybody know a good place to watch new series online?
@Christopher Brennan try Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
@Nash August yup, I have been watching on FlixZone for since march myself =)
@Nash August Thank you, signed up and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it!
@Christopher Brennan Glad I could help =)
this is one of my favourite hozier songs ever. it’s amazing. pure happiness. the lyrics, the melody, his singing, everything. i love the quiet, more poetic bits, then they draw into deeper, more scream worthy parts. i love it so much holy shit
This song has moved me like no other poem or song ever has and I’m freakin 47 years old
This song moves my soul in lovely ways
Discover Hozier lately and I feel some kind of feeling I can't describe while listening to his songs.
Like that " like real people do"
Beautiful but creepy at the same time.
For me, this stunningly beautiful song captures the creative tension between a gentle acceptance of death and a fierce love of life.
Hozier first pairs his gentle acoustic guitar with a near-whisper in which he acknowledges the human consciousness of death: “that the sound of the saw must be known by the tree”. This is a fact that he has made peace with: “I fretted fire, but that was long ago.”
But then in defiant counterpoint, he adds piano, percussion and chorus and in a near scream belts out: “But that’s not tonight, where I’m set alight”. Here he becomes Dylan Thomas raging against the dying of the light.
I wept at the lyrics “with each love, I cut loose. I was never the same watch the still living roots, be consumed by the flame. I was fixed on your hand of gold, laying waste to my loving long ago.” They reflect the fourth remembrance Buddhism: “There is no way to escape being separated from all that is dear to me and everyone I love.”
But rather than sink into nihilism at this realization, Hozier’s answer seems to be: so what? I’m alive tonight. you (life) are so good to me.
this song helps me sleep it's so peaceful
That's the strangest definition of peaceful but you do you
I think so too
And "THAAATS NOT TONIGHT" must be your alarm😂
This song brings me to a different realm
I will say this till the day I die, Hozier is THE BEST singer to ever live and I’m glad to be alive to hear his music 😊❤❤❤❤
I want to listen to this live and have the drums blast my ears off.
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this with all of my heart
OH HOW I LOVE BEING A WOMANNNNNN
Wicked Campfire song
It is a bunch of masterpieces. Hard to pick a fav. Prob, like all, Eat Your Young...
I am slowly gravitating towards this song.
All I want is to be loved like a Hozier song 🥺😩
Is... is this written from the perspective of a tree?
I really hope it is
lmao three years late but fuck it. i believe he is comparing his new love to trees, and his old love to fire that he can't get away from
@@vi818 I think it's the other way round? Of course, your interpretation is valid, but he does refer to trees and wood like it was his past love, and his new love is like a fire burning all of it away. That's just my thoughts anyway.
@@innuwu152 that definitely makes sense too. Idk my interpretation has personal meaning to me so probs just my own bias showing me what I wanna see. Can't deny how beautiful the song is regardless
@@innuwu152this is so true you’re amazing for picking up on that!!
I want to dance every time I hear this song. I have no idea how to dance!😂
This song reminded me of my high school sweetheart 🖤
This reminds me of Gregory Alan Isakov, and Lord Horan music.
I now have to look them up cause I need more music like this
Totally! Also I'm so glad someone knows Mr. Isakov as well!
How I love being a woman
I love him
ฟังแล้วเขิน แต่ไม่เกี่ยวอะไรกับตัวเอง555555
It’s giving Anne with an e
have to hack his fae brain to learn writing like this😫😭🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
This reminds me of Jesus
lmao, why to
tf
Thanks for ruining it.
You ruined with your negative energy
He sang in the catholic church
This is a love letter in which he tells an old love that he has searched for her in every woman he’s loved. That he’s loved souls more akin to trees and that he himself is a tree but that he somehow finds himself craving the fire.
