Take Me To Church (Acoustic Cover)

- I've had "Take Me To Church" by Hozier on repeat lately. Seriously both his EP's are amazing - if you haven't heard his music, you need to check it out. The lyrics of his songs go deeper than most.
Enter my good friend and fellow Nashville musician Matt Wright...with whom I've wanted to record a cover with for FOREVER. Once you hear his voice, you'll get why ;).
We sat around for an evening going through Spotify playlists and playing each other songs that we're currently in to...and this one just seemed to capture us both. Matt also happens to be a fantastic piano player, so we had some fun coming up with an arrangement.
Special thanks to Jourdan Lees at Made In Network for helping us with the filming (notice how that has slightly improved since some of our first videos haha). Also thanks to Kelsey and Seth Granda for letting us use their beautiful white upright piano.

This was so amazing. I don't compare covers to originals, I feel that unfair to both artists. But, both of you were absolutely amazing. Bravo. May I suggest you and Matt cover another song together, it's called Home by Edward Sharppe and the Magnetic Zeros.
Yessss please^^^
I couldn't agree more on everything you said !
I totally agree! I loved it
Ur so right
:) Thank you guys.
You sing it way to happy, but it sounds really amazing. :D
Omg I saw this comment from you on another one of of the"take me to church" coversXD
I think the gentleman had a better feel for the tone of the song. She 's just singing words.
I think it should be kind of happy, because in a way, it's a love song towards the person of the same gender. It still is kind of sad though too. I just think that the lines directed towards the one you love should be happy.[=
Ashley Burley Not really, the video of a song doesn't always represent it's meaning, and in this song, the criticism against the church is clearly the main topic. The song isn't a love song, not even if the video shows a love story. ....Which lines in this song are directed towards the ones you love..?
Cat196 My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Her VOICE. REALY AMAZING VOICE.... Well done.
My lover's got humor
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshiped her sooner
If the Heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
"We were born sick", you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"
The only Heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
A-, Amen, Amen, Amen
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
Drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Oh, oh, Amen, Amen, Amen
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
"Good God, let me give you my life" He's not the owner of the universe?
Omg tysm ❤️
Good God
@@Aw4yed who is the owner in your opinion??!
when he's not busy in the library learning to fight the white walkers xD
FUCKING MADE MY DAY
Titbuster I CANT BREATH😂😂
If you're ever playing GTA and you wonder why lester is never answering his phone, its because he's busy doing youtube covers
😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
WOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW. what have I just listened to was a very masterpiece.I love both vocals, harmonies and that guitar solo. I enjoyed every single second of this beautiful performance.
This can be a difficult song to do right in a duet, but this is well done my friends! The only drawback I hear is the tone of voice the guy often uses, as it is too monotone or high. Hozier, while it is practically impossible to be close to his voice, used much more emotion (best word I could think of) than used by the pianist. Other than that, it was very good!
Love this version!!! It's awesome....thanks for sharing!!! Love both voices on this rendition.
Great version. His voice, her guitar solo the highlights....
Really a great rendition of this song! Nice job! Beautiful blending of your voices and making this your own.
I don't usually comment on photos but I feel that there's loads of hate to this cover but me personally think this cover is so unique and purely beautiful. Yes these two people have two different voices but they don't need to be reminded in a horrible way! They have feelings as well. I hope this comment will be read understood. But just a message to the two guys who made this
This is an amazing cover. Keep it up
I've never been able to listen through this video without crying. Especially during the solo. There's just something about that romantic guitar sound combined with the soft piano that hits me so hard that it spontaneously makes tears run down my face 😭❤
finally an amazing and tremendous cover of that song! Thank you so much for this gift
Hit the like button before the solo... then it went... and the flow into the vocals was PERFECT... and it continued. Awesome!!!!!
The dude reminds me if Sam Tarly from Game if Thrones.
That's exactly what I thought!
+purplegorilla972
Absolutely! Sam's cover)))
lmao true
+Sira Charbel i was about to write that and then i thought i would read the comments to see if anyone else thought about it too..

Jesus! you gave me goosebumps! man you guys are a fantastic match!

That cover is just too stunning for words. Best cover I've seen. Superb voices!!!!
Samwell Tarly and Gilly are sounding great!
the best covers from hazors that you respect. amazing voices.
They sing sooo beautifully I got goose bumps
I'm just sitting here, browsing youtube on a wednesday night, and then unexpectedly come across this wonderful interpretation of a magnificent song! Love how both music and video maintain this intimate, almost sacred atmosphere throughout, abstaining from the usual posing (both visually and with regard to voice) that one encounters so often in such cover videos. I am really impressed and thankful!
Wunderbar den Beiden zuzuhören. Mit welcher Freude sie Musik machen - Danke - was für eine Freude
This is so beautiful I can't even express how amazing you guys did
This makes me happy every time I hear it
wow...just wow....beautiful voices, beautiful performance, beautiful music...so touching and so very real.
such a beautiful version of this song, you guys are awesome ♥♥
Dude I want to be able to sing like you, soft but strong and the way you can cut the notes off. Wicked awesome.
Perfect voices, both very talented and they sound amazing together!
great teamwork guys
did great job with the cover
it was perfect
Probably one of the best covers of this song in my opinion! Loved it to pieces!
by far the best version of this song i ever heard. everything you do is serving the song.
except the few mistakes like the little mess up in the guitar solo.
Incrível;
incredible;
increible;
Incroyable.
Apenas isso que tenho que dizer.
You guys are amazing...! Incredible singing, really worthy of this beautiful song and original version... Bravo!
I wish I could be sitting in that room listening to you both sing, good job!!
I can listen to this cover of this song forever and not get tired of it. And that's saying a lot, because I love Hozier. Good job guys! :)
Your voices are beautiful. You blend together so good.
...oh my sweet lord...you were born to sing this melody...so fresh and emotional...keep on the good work beautiful people !!
Love this! I have been listening since I found your channel- a couple years now. Thanks for sharing your talent. I replay your videos at work.
Beautifully performed.
One of the best covers I've seen.
One of the best covers of Take Me To Church I've heard! Beautiful. Hozier is an amazing songwriter.
absolutely love it! Haven't heard any other of your covers but this one made me subscribe as soon as you came to the first chorus! Great job!

The magic of song!.. We can all interpret songs to fit our lives, belief and whatever way we feel.. this is the best cover for me.. I love it, thank you x
Anyone who knocks a version of a song has no appreciation for music. You guys did a phenomenal job. Remember, opinions vary - keep up the great work. To the guy with the Kermit comment - Must be coming from from Fozzy Bear.
this is absolutely amazing
At the first chorus every hair on my body stood up. Excellent!
Absolutely beautiful, loved the harmonies. 😻
this is one of the most nice cover i've ever heard.
Just wow.
This is my new favourite thing. I love this song, and this cover is beautiful.
Great Duo.. I love this song.. your voices blend so beautifully.
Переслушиваю уже сотый раз, если не больше, и продолжаю восхищаться голосами, а также акустическим звучанием песни.
Мне до сих пор не надоедает.
Это прекрасно.
I'm listening for the hundredth time, if not more, and I continue to admire the voices, and also the acoustic sound of the song.
I still do not get bored.
It's fine.
Ms Winterin когда увидел русского в комментах не ища его
I love hearing a woman do the lower harmony
My ex and I went to the mountains once and we harmonized and improvised and I was the lower harmony. I’m a mezzo and he’s a higher tenor so it was really cool
This made me think of that
Made me realize how kinda unique that was
They show me the song's soul . I felt it like a hurricane of bless. Thank you.
This is stunning. It gave me chills. Great job!
Wooow !!! I don't know the original but I like yours so so much !!! Great job! ciao from Italy
Didn't know Sam from Game of Thrones can sing so well!
hahahahaha... Yepp... He learned to sing by reading the books in the Citadel library.
Чудесно, поразительнo, завораживает. It was awesome. I've got no words anymore...
One of those time I like a cover better than the original. I love when an artist hits a note and it makes me feel like I'm blushing or something. Then as the note rings you feel it tickle your ears with perfection. I really enjoyed this, thanks!
The video is almost creepy. The song being played in the nice house. The sweater guy. I was creeped out. They look like that couple that slaughters people in their basement. I LOVED THAT!!! If intentional, fantastic. If unintentional... Sorry... Haha
Finally, a cover that doesn't sound like pop idol
Love the original. Love this one more!! Your voices seperate and together is incredible. Gave me goosebumps!!
So perfect !!! I love this version ! The voices, the guitar sound... You're really talented Megan ! :)
Those are cool song God bless you guys really😉😉
Lindo!
Another amazing cover! You guys are brilliant!
i love your guys cover!your voice is beautiful. ive watched this video over & over :)
both of your voices are nice and powerful and all, but your interpretation of this song (singing it happily) is just unfitting… it's really provocative, understand the song before you tell the story.
i dont really think you know what youre talking about.. maybe if you actually listened to their voices with your ears you would understand.
Its greatt. But i agree Jacob
sweatshirt029 listen to the lyrics, it's not a happy song. this cover is just obscure… their voices are nice though.
Wonderful version
Playing on repeat! Love this so much!
I LOVE THIS SONG!!! You guys did AWESOME I can't wait for more videos
Best cover I have heard. . Amazing
I absolutely love his voice and this cover. Gret
+JustUs his voice is soo classic..
you two have amazing voices. I realy like it
Great interpretation, you two are such a talented duet.... Kudos
