Lyrics:
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

This one. Take Me To Church's video is amazing, but this is my absolute favorite of your songs and of all songs in general ❤ An absolutely beautiful work of art

"Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on it's sword. Innocence died screaming, honey ask me I should know". Genius. Poetry
Facts
Omg I did not know that’s what he said! I thought he said i feel the sun sets in prison lol
I read this as he sang it lol
i actually quoted the first half of this in a speech in english class and just smiled to myself because no one else picked it up :'))
insanely gorgeous lines
Hoziers music: a gentle beat with some nice jazzy guitar
Hozier lyrics: innocence died screaming
i laughed so hard, jesus
Hoziers guitar: Some nice blues
His lyrics: A rope in hand for your other man, to hang from a tree
right?!
Sounds peaceful and comforting, but actually a wretched betrayal. No wonder it reminds me so much of my ex boyfriend.
Makes me proud to be irish, phenomenal talent
Lady Morgana and Jesus in one video?? Ireland surely has hidden gems.
LOL
I thought it was just me who knew that 😂Merlin!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This country is amazing. Had a great time in Dublin last year.
I love how people came back to this song to cry for Good Omens. I did too.
Man...
ME 🥲
That was rough.
Sending hugs to y'all.🤎
Victims, aren't we all?
Hello, dearest fellow sufferer. God I hope Crowley gets his happy ending :’(
Director: How slow-mo do you want this music video to be?
Hozier: Yes
Hahahaha, I'm pissing.... hahha
except...Hozier himself directed this.
Rezwana Parveen that’s even better lmao
“Hozier to hozier: “how slow mo do you want this?”
Hozier: yes
@@therockbottom5256 That man knows what he wants....
Hahaha it looks wonderful
The couple broke into a house to steal but to their surprise, they found a child in a worrisome condition. They took the child with them, gave him love and time that he will cherish his entire life. But the couple got caught by the police and the child was separated from them. The kiss at last gave the child hope that he is special, he is loved. The coupe gave the child a reason to live on no matter what.
Is that a true story?
This is so beautifully described
Who is the girl n vid
@@sincereone3452 it's Katie McGrath
Oh wow... Now I get it :(
I know most people relate this song to romantic love but, after watching this video, my mind goes to familial love towards the child. A couple of criminals on the run (that mostly got to that point because of a difficult past) sees a child in a circumstance that will lead to a future that's just as tragic as theirs. Them deciding to give him any amount of happiness for as long and however they can. Finding joy in spite of their past and present situation with an inevitable future closing in. And, despite all of their lost innocence, they still feel hopeful in seeing the boy so happy and finding peace within themselves in realizing that they're still capable of experiencing selfless love. Ultimately, their chivalry is punished and justice is a bittersweet thing, but their love for their family stays intact despite the end of their journey together. Using those last moments with each other to say that they don't regret a second of it, that they were worthy of love, and that their bitter past doesn't get to make them bitter people. Yeah, I legit cried while watching this at 5am.
You don't think this is your take of the lyrics and clip created for said song? I had thought it was their child... Also, how do we know they aren't apd individuals? Your write up .. is sweet/kind I will admit.
Exacly I cried too your comment and I would consider myself numb
Nicely put, thx.
@@Emily_Hurley Not their child, although in the beginning we are led to believe they are the parents because of the same mole on the forehead of the child and Hozier's. But in the instrumental it is revealed they just found the child in an abandoned house.
I read somewhere that the song is about his love for a married woman, unavailable but irresistible to him nonetheless. And his feelings of...shame or possibly regret for pursuing her in any way.
To be fair I feel like Hozier’s videos are more often than not just a visual artistic expression that accompanies the song, not necessarily directly related to it. For instance, movement’s lyrics seem to me to be about an infatuation with a lover who’s awakened things inside of him he forgot were ever there. Yet the video is Sergei Polulin dancing and chasing different personalities/ versions of himself. Which he also seems to end up pretty scraped up in the end of an endless cycle.
Although I can’t deny that I got a very similar feeling from the video you described. Heart wrenching and beautiful. Also very relatable for me personally.
I know this song is an allegory that talks about wanting something and kot being able to have it. But is also a song about all those who are seen as "devils", the ones that always come across as the villains no matter how hard they try to be the hero. Is about felling like you don´t deserve to be loved, at the same time you look at someone who has everything you don´t: the innocence, the beauty, the tenderness. And you fear that if you allow yourself to love them, you´ll ruin all the good in them. But yet, they make you fell like a person again, a human being. At the end, that´s all we are right? Our fears should never stop us from experiencing love in its purest form. Love is redemption.
Very well said. 💖
This has been my favorite interpretation so far 😭😭😭
Thanks, didn't need to cry today (I'm in love with this interpretation)
Hozier didn't actually steal from that shop. He just walked ina nd they were like "OMG it's Hozier! Here, take our money, we insist!"
Emily Little AHAHAHA yessss they know what’s up 😂
Lol

Yeah and they weren’t getting arrested the cops were just taking them to a castle where they belong
Katie McGrath and Hozier together makes my bisexual self weeeeaak
Right????

Katie McGrath could kill me and I'd come back to thank her

His songs are like poetry, and his voice speaks to my soul. I literally love him.

So agree. Love his creative mind.
I LOVE him ❤
"I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door"
Those lyrics, this song, this album , Hozier will pass the test of time.
In 20 years , someone will be feeling the same thing we are while listening to this song for the first time.
Listening to this for like a hundredth time and I still feel the same as I did on the first time; it actually keeps getting better
Your statement holds true. I just discovered this just a week ago.
I think he just watched too much good omens
4 down 16 to go
I have no doubts 😍
I want Hozier to be my Greek mythology and literature teacher.
Yes, me too !

I reckon it's more biblical than mythology
WHY IS NO ONE SAYING THAT THIS SONG IS TOLD IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF SATAN THE SNAKE FROM EDEN WHO SLITHERS AND SITS OUTSIDE THE DOORS. BRILLIANT!!!
My thought as well
It is better to rule this earth than serve you in heaven.
cRoWLeY
I always thought of it as his comparison to feeling like the one who has corrupted a tragic, magical, beauty. She’s in need of a knight in shinning armor, but she gets an equally damaged, self-loathing (maybe a little wicked) romantic who loves her for all her flaws the way she is.
He knows she deserves more, but... love.
because it should be pretty obvious... that's not some deep/subtle reading.
Someone literally gets to MARRY Hozier at one point. Just think about that for a second.
cami maybe. He’s said that he is very wary of marriage and isn’t interested in it.
Dude his music is so fucking beautiful what the frick
I think about this a lot...sigh
@@LynnettesDowry I'll settle for being the Isis that he will make Jackie and Wilson with.
LynnettesDowry can you send me the link of the video, where he says that? Please
It's literally beyond impossible to watch this and not fall in love with katie mcgrath.
Sorry, who? You mean someone other than Hozier is in this video? Oh.... yeah, guess there's some woman and a kid...
@@bacchante1 Let's just agree this video is a bisexual wet dream 😂
I only watched it because of her😂

"There's something so tragic about you, something so magic about you..." That describes Morgana pretty well, actually.
cecessqt I thought the same when I first heard the song. god, I miss Merlin
That describes Katie pretty well
Damn. Good one.
She’s from penny dreadful too right?
Wait nvm
I love how hozier's music can be explained from several points of view, everyone sees the part they connect with the most
I meant to say. The guy who broke into my house who had 2 left feet....was v Uneloquent .....I responded to another commentary about this ...didn't get the message right
This chap broke into my house just over 30 years ago...put me thru hell...I was a 15 year old inexperienced child at the time.....my husband saved me
My husband knew instinctively how to handle me ....a little bit of an older fella.....❤ Him so much
I need this music video to be extended into a feature-length film, my god it's fantastic.
Jordan I know I got emotional watching it
Yes!
As long as Katie’s still in it
There exists an indian movie called : Bunty aur Bubbly. Same story and concept.
@@kanakdaga1977 😂
Its sad that i need to look everywhere for good music nowadays, but when i eventually find it, i thank god that there are still people who want to make music that speaks to your soul ^_^
Listen to Kayleigh Rose
***** Did i say God made this?
A-Muthafarkin-men
Well.. now I want to know, did god contribute to the release of this song?
Dylan Briggs You know what man? Im too drunkToo reply to your comment right now so im just gonna say, Im sorry for bringing up god and all that stuff "Your right right" and i love you, Ok dylan? have a nice day ^_^
Hozier=Irish Jesus

Jesus= non Irish hosier
Totally
worshipped!
Lol
I remember being a little kid dreaming of someone rescuing all of us from the filth and violence of our childhood home, it never happened. This is a beautiful but sad little story of one child being loved for a fraction of his life.
Me too. Now I live by "Be the hero you didn't have".
I hope life treats you kind ♡
Im so very sorry, because the song completely passed through me I was just looking at Kate McGrath the whole time.
Tbh I didn’t even hear words
Tbh I only came to watch for her 😂
I know right
Me too. I just came here for her
I have no clue who the chick -- I came for Hozier music. Apparently her name is Kate- something, though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm in love with Katie. Her eyes, her smile. She is perfect.
I beyond love her
@@okekemartha9729 me too, honey.
After watching this a few times, I think that the child in the video isn't theirs. In the beginning it's just the couple and they break into a home to find the child there, probably abandoned and abused. The couple just "adopts" him and they become a family. But the cops catch up to them :( The kid got to experience more happiness while he was with them, than when he was with his real family... even though they're criminals.
Edit: There can be so many different stories from this one song. I remember Hozier saying in some interview that he likes that his music is interpreted differently by everyone. I would love to know what everyone else sees when they watch/listen to this song.
you had to watch it a few times to realize that the child wasn't theirs?
Rachel Cunningham I was too awed by the lyrics and Katie McGrath's beauty
lol. But the concept is so heart warming
joshua onuoha Yeah all the songs I've heard from him have such soul in them
Rachel Cunningham I didn't either..snooty McGee
Who else is listening to this masterpiece in 2024?
Me , can’t believe I wasn’t into his early stuff until now
Analysis of the comments:
10% Hozier
30% the video
70% FREAKING GORGEUS KATUE MCGRATH
... I'm with the 70 percent
110%? I'm okay with that.
me too
I ain't no mathematician but
Irish musicians are the best. Poetry runs through our veins. Ireland 🇮🇪
I was curious from where all of this "soul music" comes from, today found out that hes Irish,...of course.
Can you recommend me some Irish artists? Lately I've been discovering your music and loving it!
@@mariaeduardagomesdecastros1645 you should really give Paolo Nutini a chance, he's also Irish. You won't regret it.😊😊
@@JonEvangelista-r3f he’s Scottish
I wonder who started bringing that jazzy soul music sound 😎
I literally cry every single time I hear this song. I lost a best friend named Eden. This was her favorite song.
:(
sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry. I honestly can't even fathom the pain you must be going through. I bet she was a wonderful person, and lucky to be your friend.
may they rest in pure peace ❤️
RIP Eden 🌻
Right now I am going through the hardest time in my life. June 30 my daughter Eden was born and had surgery at 2 days old, now diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. She is 3 weeks now. I can't tell you how many times I have listened to this song. I know it has a meaning that you intended for it but for me it means so much more especially right now.
"Babe, there's something wretched about this
Something so precious about this
Oh what a sin"
Her diagnosis is so horrible , yet she is the sweetest bundle of joy
She is so pure and happy and content while I'm over here falling apart
I just wanted to share to let you know how powerful this song has been for me through this
Sending love to you and your little Angel ❤
Hope it’s going better for you, and your family now. ❤
How is your daughter?
💕 May all go in the best possible way, I love your tenderness, stay strong for Eden Babe, sending a big hug.
hozier: hey guys i made this song-
every single wlw (so basically hoziers entire fanbase): KATIE KATIE KATIE KATIE
I sense no lies
LITERALLY I WAS ShoCKED
confirmo
Exactly, it's
Who is Katie?
Beside the fact that all his songs bring heavy emotions/thoughts, I tend to have the most love towards this song and its accompanying video. Not necessarily my favorite on the album (though it's hard to choose a favorite), I think it to be one of the most well-written songs. Once you get the underlying message of it, it brings out a lot of emotions. I feel so overwhelmed yet so at peace after hearing it. From Eden is a brilliant piece of work. And the music video- it's definitely my favorite. Hozier is so underrated, and his talent is phenomenal. He's so unique and his music is so intelligent... it's hard to find that in music these days. I'll never tire of listening to him.
what else do you expect from an irish man?? ;) :P
I really love this song but it's hard for me to understand the meaning of it. Could you help explain a little. .?
+Stevie Waters I honestly couldn't agree more. He's an amazing artist! Very unique, which is what I like about him
thats we miss from like 99% of songs now-a-days
+Abraham Hernandez Obviously, all his songs are open to interruption so don't strictly believe mine, but this is my opinion. In his Track-By-Track series, he explained it was originally told from the perspective of the devil looking at something small and innocent. This element is used in the music video, and I hear the most of this idea in the song. For a more realistic twist, it could be a person who has done much wrong and compares himself to the devil but cherishes the innocent lover in his life. His lover brings memories of his former self, and this sinful person is now at this innocent lover's mercy. Just my thoughts. :)
To Hozier’s future spouse: How does it feel to win the lottery?
How does it feel to win at life to be honest
How does it feel to be god’s favorite?
same for katiee
it feels great lmao
It better be me! It has to be me!!
THE ACTUAL LYRICS
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
Where to begin
Babe, there's something broken about this
I might be hoping about this
O 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
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
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 hide outside your door
Thank you so much
All of his songs are perfects for road trips. Ace dude, 10/10
so true!
+Reggae Matchitt YES
I agree, we listened to this album over and over going from one end of the coast the other. let's just say I will never forget how fitting and beautiful it all was

This is my go-to driving album. I actually drove to Bray (where he's from) listening to it
My best part :

I slithered here from Eden, just to sit outside your door
I hope he realizes at some point that we need a happy ending for this one. Think a sequel. With Katie McGrath and all, pls.
Yes please!
the ending is happy:)
i agree. especially with the katie mcgrath part.
and pls come to ao3 and write some fix-it fics.
Hozier is ahead of its time. Every time I come back to these songs it just reaffirms how amazing they are
2 years later....I agree!

EVERY TIME.
Yes, I cry every time I watch that scene 😢😢😢

Spoiler :( haha
I wathced this video because I knew Katie McGrath was in it, didn't expect to love the video and the song this much. I only knew Hozier from Take Me To Church, and damn, he's great. Can't help but feel a little disappointed that it isn't an entire movie, that would've been great :) Great song, great video
please tell me that in the three years since this comment youve listened to hozier some more?
There are only two kinds of people in the comments - people appreciating the music genre and talking about how beautiful the song is and people who are just like, "Fuck me, Katie McGrath."
Bad Feminist 3 kinds. You forgot the people who are both
Bad Feminist no matter how good she looks, someone, sonewhere is tired of her shit
im both
2 types of people: Intelligent and you.
I wondered if that's who it was
Hozier e Katie McGrath , boa música, tudo pra mim ❤️
For many years I hear a lot of music from all genres, every day, I think this is one of the most beautiful songs came out for years. This is a musical quality that will pass the test of time. Even when the hits of the moment will be gone and forgotten.
it won't though.
Moti Ben Shalom a lot of people nowadays don't understand real music and melody, I first heard this at 17 and it was beautiful to my ears. I've tried showing friends but they keep their interests in other genres and generally don't stray very far into this type of music, it's classic. I wish I could make everyone understand real good music, but not with society nowadays, nope.
This kind of music gets appretiation not because of the amount of people that like it, this kind of music does not need quantity. Furthermore, permormers like Hozier don't need or seek such. Music like this gets remembered because it touches your insides and it is irrelevant how much souls it had touched. Quality of music is not measured by quantity of admirers, so don't worry. Good stuff is good no matter what.
As a male, I encvountered a lot of people, male and female that love songs like this. They love sensitive songs, Im in Georgia.
The guy who "slithers" from Eden is clearly a reference to the serpent in the Garden of Eden, there to tempt this woman, the object of his desire, into sin. There is a reference to the "other man" she will be cheating on. She is more hesitant to engage in this affair, while the guy shares that he once would have felt the same moral reservations, but experience has taken away that idealism/innocence/chivalry. Brilliant song, brilliant lyrics....totally relevant to most of us too!
+Lucie Moon Did you see this on SongMeanings? :)
+Lucie Moon he uses a lot of religious themes and mythology to communicate in his songs which is very cool. it adds another layer to understanding his songs.
I like your comment and I just really want to know how the kid and police fit in. if anyone had an idea please help.
+makayla “krazy baby” plaskey in the video the guy and girl are criminals on the run doing robberies to make money. They find an abandoned house to break into but find a neglected child in there so decide to take him with them so he's not left alone. Eventually the police catch up with them and they get arrested.
Depressing
Hozier deserves eternal rounds of applause. He is incredible !
I agree!
+Moise Mensah yeah
In total agreeance
correct. :)
+Moise Mensah Agreed! I can't even decide on a fave song, they are all so freakin' good!
theres a reason hozier looks like jesus and its bc his music is here to save us just saying
I mean, this song is about someone trying to lure someone else into cheating on their spouse. But yeah, I feel saved lol
I had same thought.
1.Looks nothing like Jesus 2. Philosophy is completely different from Jesus lol
@@anthonylombardo4829 he looks like the common western depiction of Jesus. But Jesus most likely didnt look like that since he was from the Middle East
Well, he looks like our thoughts of what Jesus would look like at least.
I remember first hearing this song after my 9th grade English teacher told us in class how she would listen to this song while she battling cancer. One of the things that I vividly remember her telling us. Time flies.
Thank the gods for creating hozier.
+Wildflower I see your an atheist. Is that too presumptuous. I'm just basing this off what I know about atheist and what I know about myself.
+Roberto Rayo nope
+Roberto Rayo how do you even get atheist out of what I said? I'm confused.
+Wildflower yes i was going to say which Gods do you believe in. im muslim and in the Qur'an it uses the term WE alot when refering to God
Lolz we must visit camp half blood and burn offerings to all of the gods
Some one has to make a a movie about this story.... Its so heart breaking. A dtory of an abused child found by "criminals" we fall in love with them they run from the cops then eventually get caught. But when they take the guy into the car the kid runs to him and hughs him. The cops have to pull the kid away from him. Sadly the child goes back to the his parents but the girl fights for him to adopt him. This story has no happy ending as they say no bc she is a criminal and the guy is in jail. Then the second movie about 6 years later the guy gets out and the kid runs away with them far far away. Happy ending.. This could be the new movie that everyone talks about and falls inlove with
sebastian almeida Or it could have a bittersweet ending where they prove that the kid's real parents were abusive so he doesn't have to go back to them anymore, but he still can't go back to the criminal family. He ends up with really nice adoptive parents but he never forgets the couple who saved him.
sebastian almeida Sounds a lot like whistle down the wind, maybe crossed with Tiger bay
sebastian almeida I love a good dtory, with lots of hughs. I would fall inlove with it
Wow! Yep, great idea!
"We can't leave this kid here. Look at him." Eve gestured at the kid, who was staring up at them with large brown eyes.
Jesus, thought Adam, I've seen cows with smaller eyes.
"We aren't bringing him, Eve. The last thing I need is a kidnapping charge."
"Are you fucking kidding me? This kid is getting the life beaten out of him and you're worried about a fucking kidnapping charge?"
"Those bruises could be from an accident, Eve. He's a kid. Stuff like that happens all the time."
Eve glared at him. "You don't even believe that. I can see it in your eyes. You know just as well as I do that bruises like that aren't made by an accident."
Adam tried again.
"He'll just slow us down, Eve. Besides, how is dragging him into a life of crime any better than leaving him here?"
"Because at least then he'll have a chance. Please, Adam."
Eve gave him a look that made Adam want to kick himself. She was right, and they both knew it.
In the distance, Adam could hear the sirens of the police. They had to leave.
Letting out an aggravated sigh, he knelt down and started to scoop up the boy in his arms.
The kid squirmed and sank his teeth into Adam's hand, right in the fleshy part of his thumb.
"Fucking Christ!" swore Adam, dropping him and yanking his hand protectively to his chest. "The little bastard bit me!"
The boy darted away and hid behind Eve, who was roaring with laughter.
"Grab the kid," growled Adam, "before I change my mind."
Eve gently picked up the boy, who smiled and buried his face into her dark hair.
"You're going home, little buddy," Eve said quietly.
*Four Years Later*
The police had come.
Adam's worst fears were coming true. He could hear them, pounding on the door.
"This is Officer Rivera! I have a warrant for your arrest for kidnapping Sam Ericson! Open this door!"
Eve was looking at him, holding Sam close to her. They were both huddled against the wall so if the cops looked in they wouldn't see them.
Adam swallowed as he realized what he had to do. Eve knew it too; tears were gently streaming from her eyes.
Adam kissed Eve one last time and ruffled Sam's hair.
"Look after her, kid. I'll be back soon," he said, trying to sound more upbeat than he felt.
Adam walked over to the door and opened it.
The police were ready for him.
From Heaven:
Babe, they say there’s blackness lurking about you,
something so malice about you.
And I do agree.
Babe, there's passion boiling within you,
so you’d better hold me around you.
And I will not flee.
Don’t patronise, no fool’s surprise, no tyranny.
No goodnight prayers, no devil’s snares, no time for thee.
Darlin’, love’s peculiar, that’s sure something angels know.
Shred my halo like a ribbon; wrap my wings inside your coat.
Rinse the white light, gleaming; in the closet, shut the door.
I flittered here from Heaven just to sip from your dark soul.
Babe, if you’re so questionable about this,
then why do you dither with darkness?
Go follow Him.
Babe, there’s nothing about you I won’t kiss.
For you, I must stray from the lightness.
Oh, what a sin.
The darkest land, the highest stand, for you and me.
Feathers and thorns, in the sheets downstairs, we forget occasionally.
You’d say, “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.”
Darlin’, love’s peculiar, that’s sure something angels know.
Shred my halo like a ribbon; wrap my wings inside your coat.
Rinse the white light, gleaming; in the closet, shut the door.
You slithered here from Eden and I fell so far to fall.
OMIGEEZ I LOVE THAT
it's the perspective of an angel falling for a devil right? vice versa from Hozier's
aurora idk Yes! That's exactly what I was going for :) oh my gosh, thank you so much! xx
I don't understand why this comment doesn't have way more likes.
***** Haha I wish! Thank you so much though :)
Holy greatness! :)
He is a Poet. And God Damn that voice!
right?!
I don't know who Kate McGrath is but she's certainly lovely. I love this video because I am an adult with a traumatic childhood. And for just a minute this little boy had something real that he will remember for the rest of his life. And while this is not a real-life situation, I can assure these situations do exist and it's moments like these that helped to get us through. That's my take on this video and it is now so very near and dear to my heart . . .
Katie McGrath is an Irish actress, best known for being on Merlin, as Lady Morgana Pendragon, and Supergirl, as Lena Luthor.
nobody:
Hozier: we need slow mo...in every clip.... more slow mo...oh yeah...
Hozier: i want to see EVERY frame fellas,,, the gays need it,, no they deserve it
@@mynameisadam8222 this whole comment section is just mlm dying from Hozier, mlm dying over Katie, and bi people screaming
I am so addicted to this song, you don't even know😳
Because i care if you like this song or not
Wow. thx.
bigbanglover66 me too! I could listen to this song over and over again. In fact I have!
bigbanglover66 YES WE DO :))) !
bigbanglover66 gftgtr
Am I the only person who can't stop questioning why this talented artist wasn't nominated for any grammy awards?
+Reptiliatus Because the Grammy's fucking blow.
+Reptiliatus omg i can't agree more. i love him so much, it kills me.
Welcome to society...
It's such a shame
He is too good
Woah i've found a shiny pokemon in the music industry of nowadays! REAL MUSIC😱
Not just complete autotune....
He was actually comparing Hozier to a shiny Pokemon, so pardon you. Sorry, I like to nitpick.
Well, he was comparing hozier's music to shiney Pokemon, compromise? :p
This is so true. Hozier is a gem. His sound is nigh god-like to me.
There's no auto tune at all. He sounds exactly the same live as he does on CD. I think auto tune is just totally not him. He's a really chill and normal guy so I think he's just totally against the whole thing.
oh for fuck sake stop being dramatic..
there are thousands of people just like hozier.. gems in the music industry.. people like ben howard, phillips phillips, mumford and sons, michael kiwanuka ,greg holden, bernhoft, jason mraz, ed sheeran,young the giant, the national,coldplay,london grammar, haim, and many more I would be glad to write them all.. but I believe you got my point..
Everyone’s talking about Katie but are we going to ignore hozier at 4:22 ? Because he is so beautiful there
YES OMG YES!!!!
but KATIE
Yes
now I know Prime put Take Me To Church on Crowley's playlist, but there's no reason this shouldn't have been on there too. I mean it's literally written from the serpent of Eden's perspective! It's perfect for them!
Still makes me cry regardless
Let's hope they use this for season 3. When they have their happy ending at their cottage in South Downs.
We are inffecting Hozier's comment section on every platform. Heck it, we are even at his concerts, someone gave him the book😭
I dont think he gets tired of seeing the edits we make though
THANK YOU
The most wonderful person I have ever had be part of my life introduced me to Hozier, this song is so beautiful and it hurts how much it reminds me of her, i feel awful that we no longer talk to each other, I miss her so much. I’m so lame bro, maybe someone reads this and helps me out lol.
i know this is eight months old but i hope you feel better my dude
@Nathan Peters Hang in there love
@Jezza Corbyn MP you got this man, hope it all works out for you
Nathan Peters i hope you’re doing good now
I've been there mate. It gets easier. Take care.
I grew up with a rough childhood, nowhere this rough but this video touches my heart very deeply. For just a moment in time, this child has "normal". I have strived to give this to my own children and, thankfully, mission accomplished! With the help of some very special people in our lives
That kiss broke my heart...love this vid :D
:)
For the first time i was here for Katie
2nd time for Good Omens, gawd i love this song
Katie is just gorgeous, she is adorable with that kid, my heart is broken when they get caught it is so painful to watch.
I've always loved this song, but I just found out Katie McGrath was on the video so I had to come check it out xd
I found out Katie was in it and I had to check it out and now I love this song
Me 2 same here I know the song but just noticed katie mcgrath was in it
Sometimes your family isn't those who are related to you they're the ones who love you the most...
Originally came here for Katie years ago but this became one of my favorite songs ever if not my #1
I need more of this storyline! This needs to be made into a movie with Katie, Hozier and that adorable little boy staring in it.
only came to appreciate Katie McGraths beauty. she’s an angel, a gift from god to us all. absolutely obsessed with her ngl🤩
Lyrics:
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 tight side, 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 prison, chivalry fell on it's 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
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
Honey you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on it's sword
Innocents died screaming, honey ask me I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
Honey you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on it's sword
Innocence died screaming, honey ask me I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to hide outside your door
THE ACTUAL LYRICS
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
Where to begin
Babe, there's something broken about this
I might be hoping about this
O 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
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
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 hide outside your door
I... Never noticed the rope in hand to hang your other man part. I saw it as a love song 🫣
I've listened to this song heavens know how many times and this was my first time watching it, instant fave for Katie McGrath's blessing presence
Not sure how accurate this is, but what I took from both the original song and this video was the concept of sin. The song seems to depict the serpent/Devil in an almost sympathetic light. Although the serpent planned on killing Adam, Hozier suggests it was out of his love for Eve, and the serpent seems to know this isn't necessarily right ("Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago" - he loves her for her good qualities, something he, a fallen angel, hasn't seen in himself for years). His sin, though morally wrong, came out of a place of love. This video, at least how I took it the first time watching, seems to echo that same point. Though the couple was knowingly doing wrong, their love for the child was obvious. At the end of the day, his well-being and protection was their priority; their sins came from a place of love.
Maybe I'm way off, but regardless, this is one hell of a song and a great video to accompany it.
Wow this is like me looking at a orange comparing it to a fighter jet it makes no sense
I think that's a really cool interpretation, and any artist would be honored to have their worked analyzed to this degree. Even if its wrong its am awesome thought... Not sure if ill be able to listen to this the same after reading it.
I think you're close, but I think the kid is supposed to be the devil in the video. The evil guitar solo ends when they find him, and his eye has no pupil at the end. He, I believe, is the one that called the cops, to get rid of Adam (Hozier, in this case) so that he could be with the girl.
Connor Murphy I hadn't thought of that the first time around, that makes perfect sense to me! What a great song/video.
I think that's a pretty good interpretation. I agree with some things and I think a truly good music video is open to interpretation and means something a little different for everybody. In my interpretation, I think that the child is the reflection of Hozier in his youth and innocence and that the line "idealism sits in prison" is represented by Hozier being arrested and that the idealism of being a musical artist who is rising in fame can also be somewhat limiting since you are SO busy ALL of the time. I believe that the child is an embodiment of himself years ago, and that the woman is also a representation of his mirror in a different way. The innocent child ends up with the human connection, and the artist ends up in a sort of prison. I almost think the blue gum may represent something like youth and innocence since it is so prominent in the shots, and note that Hozier is smoking a cigarette and is the only one not chewing gum. There is also a focus on the child being handed money (a $100 bill?) and that money is something that can take away from innocence. I think that the serpent in the song represents temptation and that it sits outside the door of humanity, but is removed from it nonetheless.
Hozier can lift us up from the pop-fangirl grave we've dug ourselves into and maybe get artists to start to be poetic with music. :D Thumbs up for you, Hozier!
Thumbs up for that comment girl! Truth be told.
Thank you!
Glad he can open the eyes of many people that just resort to the garbage that's on the radio
Yes. Just yes
Lyrically, one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
jackie and Wilson and this are my two favourite songs on the planet...who agrees??
+Will Rollison same along with a few soad and would by alice in chains and ecstasy of gold...... yes, they are on list of favorite songs. :)
+Will Rollison id say Jackie and Wilson is my favourite followed by take me to church.. but i love all his songs!!!
nicki dx me too!!
yesssssss
yassssss Jackie and Wilson is my vibe song
this isnt a song anymore its now art
I love Hozier and Katie McGrath and this song and this music video. For anyone saying they wish they could see a movie with a similar plotline, I recommend the Japanese film "Shoplifters" that came out in 2018!
This song rhymes with my soul....its feels like light...a rare gem.
It's nice to listen to "music" again.
Rafy003 Gucci gang Gucci gang Gucci gang!!!
Been listening to this song for the past 5 years now. Never gets old. This song always will stay close to my heart. I'm sure I'm gonna still listen to this masterpiece in the years to come. We all will. ❤️
❤
Never been so crazy for a singer. You're truly a miracle. You're songs are literally more beautiful than any other song I've ever heard. Please drop a new song/album....
So agree with you. I am obsessed with the poetry, the voice, the music, the blues and on and on.❣️❣️
Nine years since this was uploaded, and only now am I actually watching and listening to it with full attention. I am in tears.. THE SONG... THEY _FOUND THE CHILD_ and HE BECAME THEIRS. FUCCCKKKK-- _MY EMOTIONS. MMY EMMOTIONS_
I've been a fan of the song for a while now, and this video suits it beautifully. You have a way of making things relate without making it obvious. You make us think and that's something we all need more of in this world. Well done.
Nice!
Hi
This is pretty great. We're so happy to see Hozier doing well! :)
Skeeter Wallen that's THE Mahogany sessions to you
Hozier doesn't just write songs, he writes stories in form of songs!
This is mine and my hubbys song when we were on the run for 3 years ❤💙💯
the moment between the woman and the child at the end gets me every time!
Ugh, Hozier can literally do no wrong when it comes to his art. He just has a way of expressing things that kills me with its elegance and perfection. Whomever directed this video has a mind very like that of Hozier, I think, and that's an amazing thing. This video couldn't have been better for this song. Bravo Hozier, you blow me away every single day.
I read that HE directed it, so you have a good eye!
He's a genius, I tell ya!
I also read that he directed it himself. So his father was a blues drummer, his mother is a painter and his brother a film producer... Hozier is a singer, songwriter, guitarist and film director now. I wonder how long it will take before he masters drumming and painting as well...
Love that this song is in 5/4, gives it such a good feel, props to getting a song popular in an alternative time signature! Great distinctive voice on hozier!
What does 5/4 mean
@@danieluzoma899 it means that there are 5 beats in a measure. The normal signature is 4/4 which is 4 beats in a measure.
@@danieluzoma899 what Ember Filled Sky said! you can tell by clapping to the beat - the emphasis is generally the strongest on the first beat of a measure and new phrases of music tend to begin on the first beat (or just before the first beat, called a pickup). there's a section of this song that switches to 4/4 (4 beats per measure; when you clap it the emphasis will fall most often on the first beat and there will be no incomplete measures in the phrase) but then goes back to 5/4 when the main melody returns.
Accidenti ragazzi come siete istruiti sulle battute musicali
Ikr
hozier and katie in one video in such a power move, and i love it.
Merlin, where you at? Morgana is at it again.
HAHAHAHAH ! LMFAO
I know, she's up to no good!! haha
😂😂😂😂😂😂👏👏
XDD 😂👍👍👍
😂😂😂
Honestly if in this video Hozier tried to rob me he wouldn't need a gun he would just have to show me the lovely ms. McGrath smiling and I'd give them all I had
Katie:*breathes*
me:"take my first born"
I named my Daughter after this song !
that's so cute
how?
@@resilientmisery probably named her eden
Probably named her "From"
@@VanguardArmament hahahahahahahahahahahahaha fuck that was good im screaming
Hozier and Katie Mcgrath sharing screen time, God was kind to us.
Katie McGrath could be the crap out of me and i would thank her
Me too tho
