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.
when he's not busy in the library learning to fight the white walkers xD
FUCKING MADE MY DAY
Titbuster I CANT BREATH😂😂
Her VOICE. REALY AMAZING VOICE.... Well done.
If you're ever playing GTA and you wonder why lester is never answering his phone, its because he's busy doing youtube covers
😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
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
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??!
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
wow, it's the first take me the church cover that I liked.... His voice is like heaven 😍😍
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..

Great version. His voice, her guitar solo the highlights....
Samwell Tarly and Gilly are sounding great!
3:51 hey man! :))
damla bilen Nah, it's Ameen.
I saw what u did there
Lmao
Omg this just made my day 😀
damla bilen HAHA, nice observation =) he is saying hey man! =) like a true jamaican =)
His voice is beautiful.
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 😭❤
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!
The guys voice is crazy amazing I 💖 it
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 may sound weird, but I am so creeped out when people smile from ear to ear while they sing. It's bizarre to me, and it seems like they really don't know what the lyrics mean.
TaliaBeth D Nah, I didn't mean it as a knock. Off topic, dig up "Florence and the Machine Ship to Wreck" cover by Liam Walker. Left field, but listening now ha.
LARRYLONGSTRETH Not an issue AT ALL. I'll look it up. But, what in the name of all creation do you mean by "Left Field"? It sounds sporty. And I didn't know what the Superbowl was until I was 14.
When something comes from "left field", it's an expression that means "from out of nowhere". From baseball.
LARRYLONGSTRETH Sports+Me= Percy+ Kronos.
Not friends AT ALL.
TaliaBeth D Ha, that's one nerdy reference
Finally, a cover that doesn't sound like pop idol
Dude I want to be able to sing like you, soft but strong and the way you can cut the notes off. Wicked awesome.
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! :)
the best covers from hazors that you respect. amazing voices.
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.
One of the best covers I've seen.
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
Your voices are beautiful. You blend together so good.
My lover's got humour

Make chords too boss XDDDD
Thx
this is one of the most nice cover i've ever heard.
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
about time youtube....this never got in my feed before today!!! 😑😑😑 and i am following u for a long time...pissed but glad i got it finaallyy!!
the subtle "amen"s gave me goosebumps..amen to that 👍👍
Wunderbar den Beiden zuzuhören. Mit welcher Freude sie Musik machen - Danke - was für eine Freude
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!
This was absolutely amazing. Love itt!!
That moment when you realise sam can sing
Holy crap!
AMAZING cover, I was shivering while listening. It hard to do ANY type of falsetto, don't let Ariana Grande fool you, it can be tough. She was shredding that guitar! He's already better than me at piano. No negative comments here, just heartfelt awesomeness from two gorgeous people.
At the first chorus every hair on my body stood up. Excellent!
finally an amazing and tremendous cover of that song! Thank you so much for this gift
this is absolutely amazing
two completely complimentary voices. that's sounds just wonderful
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!
omg her voice is amazing
Best cover I have heard. . Amazing
wow...just wow....beautiful voices, beautiful performance, beautiful music...so touching and so very real.
Best Take me to church cover everrrrrrrr
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.
This makes me happy every time I hear it
Ein wunderschönes Duett!!! Beide Stimmen sind so schön!
I love that guy... bro's got the right tones.
Brings me chills every time I listen to it!
Love this version!!! It's awesome....thanks for sharing!!! Love both voices on this rendition.
Hit the like button before the solo... then it went... and the flow into the vocals was PERFECT... and it continued. Awesome!!!!!
One of the best covers of Take Me To Church I've heard! Beautiful. Hozier is an amazing songwriter.
I absolutely love his voice and this cover. Gret
+JustUs his voice is soo classic..
They sing sooo beautifully I got goose bumps
This is one of the few covers that's worth the effort of listening to. When you cover a song with lots of emotion behind the words, don't sing it like you're reading a cuecard, sing it like you mean it!
Well done.
That cover is just too stunning for words. Best cover I've seen. Superb voices!!!!
This is so beautiful I can't even express how amazing you guys did
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.
oH mEN! THAT gUITAR SOLO! aweome! I love this cover
This made me cry... it was that beautiful...
I've got a feeling that you cry often and easily
wow best one ever heard...!
Fantastic, even though I haven't heard the original (yet) I'm sure I would like this version better. Every cover she does is better than the original WTF!?!?
+1 She's just amazing!..
So true
I think you'll find in this instance, this isn't one of them. Really, listen to the original. It's so powerful, it's terrifying.
Euphoria Rue Can't agree more, there is much more power in the original song.
Yeah, I actually discovered this song through Megan Davies, I found it beautiful and relevant to my interest, so I checked out the original like Euphoria Rue suggested and it is just so so much more powerful. This is certainly still a fine cover, though.
So amazing the 2 of you. This is best cover by far
Oh GOOSBUMPS!!! I LOVE ❤️ IT!! Thank You both....
Wooow !!! I don't know the original but I like yours so so much !!! Great job! ciao from Italy
Jesus! you gave me goosebumps! man you guys are a fantastic match!
By the end of the video I realised I had my hand on my mouth. This is the true definition of breathtaking!
You guys are amazing...! Incredible singing, really worthy of this beautiful song and original version... Bravo!
if there's heaven, this song surely is played by angels every day... :)
Really a great rendition of this song! Nice job! Beautiful blending of your voices and making this your own.
One word: Amazing
How anyone could dislike this soul shattering badassery, it's beyond me. f**k the haters right guys! Keep on keeping on shooting stars! ✌❤
mature people accept differing opinions. You are not mature by spouting profanities at people because they don't like something you like.
Shelbi Shambles you obviously can't like it that much if you feel the need to dwell on other people disagreeing with you rather than you enjoyment of it....
I looooveeee thissss ahhhh
Absoletly amazing this song sung by this couple. Congratulaltions
I've had this in my head for a while now and I never get sick of it. Can easlly listen to it 10 times after eachother.
I wish I could be sitting in that room listening to you both sing, good job!!
Incrível;
incredible;
increible;
Incroyable.
Apenas isso que tenho que dizer.
His voice is very unique. Sounds like a cartoon character's. I like it.
One of my favourites, great cover!!
MJ
i only heard two seconds of the guy singing and i IMMEDIATELY subscribed
is that Sam from game of thrones??
Perfect voices, both very talented and they sound amazing together!
Playing on repeat! Love this so much!
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!
Just wow.
Finally i saw Samuel Tarly Singing 😍
Wael Al-Basheer i thought so too at first glance ..he looks so much like him😅
THAT is perfection.
Probably one of the best covers of this song in my opinion! Loved it to pieces!
the guitar solo was grandios 😮😍
agree! she's amazing
The best cover of this song ;)
They show me the song's soul . I felt it like a hurricane of bless. Thank you.
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.
That moment you don't remember the original anymore
Darryl Saunders So true
Her voice is so beautiful I have chills
ayesha ahmed that is soo trueeee
Love this, love all your covers, this was amazing. Good Job.
