There is something oddly comforting in seeing Hozier sing like that by a piano. Can’t help but picture him in a big cozy living room with a fire place and an old grand piano. You’re slowly falling asleep as he is softly singing about revolution.
GreenMMs100 Hi! I was wondering what you meant by the hand gesture during his mention of preachy musicians. Since I probably am not familiar with the reference because I’m not American, I was wondering if you could explain it’s significance?
@@elisabethschmerzler963 He's pointing to himself. It's a bit of a self deprecating joke because he's singing about "preachy musicians" while being one himself. Even though several of his songs have meanings rooted in social activism, he's always been reluctant to call himself an activist as he claims that he "just makes noises for a living."
I was there that night! Andrew said his voice wasn't up to snuff, but you would never know it. So lucky to have seen the premiere of this soulful and melodic addition to MoHozi's catalog of human rights gems!
Although many contend You may find hope ascend To mark just how everything changes Whether the temperature highs Or the sea level rising It's all going up but the wages And murdered reporters And talk of hard borders Sky-bound as a heavenly choir Or the stock price in Boeing The screams of the dying Or the skies over Yemen last night It's all going up but the wages And maybe it's time It's all going up but the wages And maybe it's time Don't mention the rent Or the money that's spent Keeping the banks in good health Or ridiculous claims Or the level of blame Pointed to anything else And preachy musicians And those stuck in prison With scarcely enough for a blunt Or the pressure of blood That new hotel in the hood With an oligarch's name on the front It's all going up but the wages And maybe it's time It's all going up but the wages And maybe it's time It's all going up with the bump in the heating bills Even though the city's on fire It's all going up but the wages And maybe it's time Higher and higher and higher Higher and higher and higher Higher and higher and higher Higher and higher and higher Higher and higher and higher Higher and higher and higher It's all going up but the wages And maybe it's time It's all going up but the wages And maybe it's time It's all going up with the bump in the heating bills Even though the city's on fire It's all going up but the wages And maybe it's time
Hey I think it's "for scarcely enough for a blunt" not "with scarcely enough for a blunt" as in "they were arrested for possession of scarcely enough for a blunt."
![Hozier - But the Wages [Lyrics]](/img/n.gif)
I'd sell my soul for the studio version
Same
Mood
Same
Let's sacrifice our souls to hozier for a studio version
@@samuelebigi1313 YES

And just getting more relevant
three years later still PATIENTLY waiting for him to release this banger

Ngl but hozier's background singer owns my heart I love her
Same! She gives me shivers, honestly
Hozier is a class war hero
Comrade Hozier
This but unironically
I love the hand gesture he gives when he mentions the preachy musicians. He right and he he should just say it
OP you gotta enlighten me as I'm a bulb running on fumes. What is he alluding to?

@@naturelover9716 no im p sure it's a dismissive wank gesture to show how annoyed he is by preachy musicians
@@elisabethschmerzler963 it's not an American thing, it's a British thing, and it symbolizes wankers which is a common British insult
Gosh, this man, this song, this band, THIS EVERYTHING.

maybe it’s time for what? time for the revolution? because if so I’m 100% DOWN
I would follow Hozier to the Black Gate
this comment sure did age
Ahead of its time
When I was there, I thought he said an Olive Gardens name on the front haha. I love Hozier!
Annasazi I would def stay at an Olive Garden hotel. Instead of a mint, they leave breadsticks on your pillows. It sounds amazing.
I hope he releases this song soon, I absolutely love it
Although many contend
You may find hope ascend
To mark just how everything changes
Whether the temperature highs
Or the sea level rising
It's all going up but the wages
And murdered reporters
And talk of hard borders
Sky-bound as a heavenly choir
Or the stock price in Boeing
The screams of the dying
Or the skies over Yemen last night
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
Don't mention the rent
Or the money that's spent
Keeping the banks in good health
Or ridiculous claims
Or the level of blame
Pointed to anything else
And preachy musicians
And those stuck in prison
With scarcely enough for a blunt
Or the pressure of blood
That new hotel in the hood
With an oligarch's name on the front
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
It's all going up with the bump in the heating bills
Even though the city's on fire
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
It's all going up with the bump in the heating bills
Even though the city's on fire
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
OMG thank you for this.
THANK YOU I couldn't figure out like 2 lines and it was annoying me to no end 💗💘💖💕
Don’t mind me singing this in the shower
Hey I think it's "for scarcely enough for a blunt" not "with scarcely enough for a blunt" as in "they were arrested for possession of scarcely enough for a blunt."
