If I'm a pagan of the good times, my lover's the *sunlight, sunlight, sunliiight!*
As a pagan who loves sunlight I appreciate this
@@riveranimations4080 yoooooo
Damn what i wouldnt give for that mashup
This is completely the spiritual successor to take me to Church
i've been singing this single line to myself all day now, thanks
Hardly ever hear praise for Hozier's incredible backing singers. They are a choir in their own right and lift his amazing voice to a transcendental level. They are just as amazing in concert.
He rarely uses other backing singers in his track recordings.It's usually just him doing the backing vocals but his live backing during performances are AWESOME. All of them sing including the drummer. And the 2 primary backing singers are excellent artists in their own right. One is in Native Run the other is their vocal coach.
+1 .. Rachel Beauregard is fabulous.
Well said, friend. Beautiful works of art they all are.
I feel the same about Kelly Clarkson backing vocal ladies in Whole lotta Woman, my goodness... such gifted Artists!!!! That whole damn band kills it. ❤🔥
This song is holding me at knifepoint using every emotion I've ever repressed.

@YOO_melon This is the best comment👌

A trite and meaningless comment ..
Welcome to my world.
Just realized I have the rest of my life to listen to this man's music...this is going to be a good life.
Helina Roba this just makes me smile so bad!
I really hope I will live that long to hear all the rest he has to offer. I feel it in my bones he has alot more to come.His singing,his words his way of getting things done! Bless you 😇. Keep up the good work.
Josie Echevarria great comment! crazy about his personality, great wisdom, love for the world
THIS ENERGY
I aspire to be this happy
Did he just create Icarus's theme song? Have mercy on us
Yup he did! Now I'm imagining him with Victoria's Secret angel wings... of course with melted wax attachments. Gotta be textually accurate.
@@chrizeldabernil8323 Not that I haven't thought about seeing him in a similar fashion!
@@anapm2927 It must be seeing him drenched, underwater and those fleeting glimpses of his upper arms and belly. We can almost puzzle out a whole torso image.
@@chrizeldabernil8323 Haha drenched and yet completely in his element! His domain..
Bitch, this is for our lord and sunny savior, Solaire.
damn this sounds like the beginning of an epic high fantasy adventure in a journey to restore the heart of primordial goddess and reawaken a dying world
The rite of spring. Spring has sprung. And so has Hozier.
Write a book
love that concept
that's bc it is
Did you just summarize moana.
I just got new extremely high quality headphones (as opposed to my broken ones i've had for over two months lmao) and i'm pretty sure i fucking ascended when he started singing
I have a really good pair of audio technica headphones that cost almost as much as my phone solely so I can have an aneurysm whenever I listen to his songs
I have just ascended to the next plain of existence just by listening to Hozier.
I got great ones two days back and I'm right in that boat with you. I've been baptized.
Your headphones broke after two months?
@@pleaseneverspeaktome it's really common with ear buds or cheap over the ear ones. Or if you're just rough handling either kind
I was just scrolling on my dash and saw a post of someone's favourite graffiti from Pompeii “If anyone does not believe in Venus, they should gaze at my girlfriend.“ my immediate reaction was 'Hozier, is that you?'
he's secretly an immortal god
@@southforthewinter257 secretly? If the guy started levitating over a stage none of us would be surprised-
@@imchoosingallthebattles9432 true true
okay- I find this funny because Venus is the roman version of Aphrodite, therefore causing her to be extremely beautiful, and because of what you said-
born too late to explore the world and too early to explore the cosmos, but just in time to explore hozier's discography
I don't know why that made me feel something?
And for this, all is well... all is well...
at least we get to live in an exciting time when we're about to explore the cosmos- oh wait, we have 2020 to deal with. Exciting.
Theres still world to explore, it just requiers a long period of travel to find
There's always the ocean
this song made me astral project into a fawn eating grass in a forest in ireland

Do you ever thank the universe for being alive in the same time as Hozier? What a blessing
You are so right
Everyday man, everyday
oh yes, makes negativity way easier to cope with.
yes
I hope Hozier knows how much he's appreciated for his work.
Totally, me too!
Srestha Chakraborty He couldn’t possibly. My gratitude is unconditional.
@@lilyraimey3499 Seen him perform live, gave me goosebumps at least 2 songs long. He knows, but he is quite shy a person, however his smile when he walks off stage shines bright like the sun
And he stays humble and that's why we love him.
And the reviews said Sunlight was a weak and repetitive track... those reviewers have never had the divine experience of congregational supplication or jubilation.
What I was thinking!
You’re right. He’s tapping in to the ecstatic/sublime.
Are you serious? Thus song is a religious experience. I don't read a lot if music reviewers - they're mostly stupid with a few exceptions.
Totally agree, it is transcendent.
These are probably critics that haven't listened to any sort of Gospel music. It's often repetitive. I'm not even religious and I find joy, strength and passion in it. It's about the feeling the music gives you, sometimes through the music itself, sometimes the lyrics, and if you're lucky, both. Damn critics, make your own opinion. With that said, Take Me To Church!
Oh! A druid chant for the rite of spring. Fitting.
Exactly what I was thinking 👀☀️
I KNEW it!! He's a Druid!!!

there's something about this song which is legitimately like having a religious experience
The entire album.
I find most of his work to be akin to a spiritual experience.
TaKe Me to cHuRCH

Yes!!!!
Rare to see sunlight depicted as merciless and deadly. This song is beautiful and transcendent in its description of consuming abject love/worship, but it is dark as hell.
Always reminds me of my daughter
I mean, sunlight is merciless and deadly, especially if you spent to long in it. Sunburns, skin cancer, etc.....
I almost cried hearing this one. It’s the feeling of relief after hurting, when you come home after losing someone or something and just fall into the arms of the people you love. It’s so safe.
well put, thank you!
I like to sing this for my elderly dog. He’s deaf, but he rests his head on my neck so he can feel the vibrations.
that is so pure 😭🥺
WHOLESOME
Awww🥺🥺bless you
literally cried. wishing you the best for you and your dog.
This is the most beautiful thing...I almost cried..m
This song makes me want to preform a complicated dance in the middle of the forest to worship the sun with beautiful, chaotic creatures
i cannot explain to you how much i love this comment
Yes... just yes
O myy yes!!!
Okay I'm glad I'm not the only one to have this exact thought??????
imagine: a small apartment crammed full of books and vinyl records and streaming full of sunlight, this playing softly from the record player as you sip tea on a small couch near the window.
I'm crying, this is all I want from life
Our house 😊
I lit got wasteland baby on vinyl yesterday for my b day and did this lol
this is the kind of music gods may be dying to... listening to this I feel as though I were a part of some ancient celebration like eleusinian mysteries, possessed by fatal desire to get devoured by the sun
OHMYGOD i love your name
“Know that I’d gladly be the Icarus to your certainty, my Sunlight. Strap the wing to me, death-trap clad happily.” Jesus Christ, imagine someone loving you that much.😳
I have wanted this so badly, and now I found it, and it's terrifying a.f. but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Careful what we wish for 😊
Hozier said Icarus x Apollo rights

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I would shun the light, share in evening's cool and quiet
Who would trade that hum of night
For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
But whose heart would not take flight?
Betray the moon as acolyte
On first and fierce affirming sight
Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
[Chorus]
I had been lost to you, sunlight
And flew like a moth to you, sunlight, oh, sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight, oh
But it is sunlight
[Verse 2]
All the tales the same
Told before and told again
A soul that’s born in cold and rain
Knows sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
And at last can grant a name
To a buried and a burning flame
As love and its decisive pain
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
[Chorus]
All that was shown to me, sunlight
Was somethin' foreknown to me, sunlight, oh sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight, sunlight
[Bridge]
Oh, all these colors fade for you only
Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
Oh, all these colors fade for you only
Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
[Verse 3]
Each day, you'd rise with me
Know that I would gladly be
The Icarus to your certainty
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
Strap the wing to me
Death trap clad happily
With wax melted, I’d meet the sea
Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
[Chorus]
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
[Outro]
Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
I swear at some point sunlight stops looking like a actual wors
Sunlight doesn’t even look like a word anymore-
it's physically impossible for hozier to create a bad song
birdheavy counter argument: Hozier Makes amazing songs but puts terrible effects in like in Wasteland baby where he constantly just fades in and out
@@alexanderleary3469 I like the effects. Acoustic versions of songs that normally have those kinds of effects are always really surprising and seem weirdly (but nicely) new.
i will like your comment solely because of your name and profile picture.
@@deekshasinha73 LMAOOOOOO completely forgot i even commented on this video but im glad u approve
Imagine listening to this in an empty church
daaamn just did!!
I might faint.
Well, in that case............... *take me to church*
just imagining it makes me lightheaded
Plz someone need to let this happen...!
I love how hozier's fanbase is so positive. I wish all the other fan bases are like ours.
I'm a writer and I absolutely would love to write a book about this song. Seriously its so enchanting.
On a side note, it reminds me almost of a joke a friend told me. I was overly fascinated with these flowers on a tree and he said "you sound like a druid who's never been a druid before." If I legitimately was a druid this would be my theme song on God.
Literally same here...I immediately thought that listening to it..HALF HIS DISCOGRAPHY INSPIRES ME TO DO SO L..
As another writer, I listen to this song while I write just to get that amazing vibe and it helps me everytime
For some reason this song actually made me cry. I don't know why at all. I'm just sitting in the library and imagined sitting in an empty church watching rays of light filter through dusty stained-glass windows and I just teared up. This song is truly powerful
I get that.
Whats your library like? Also, YES.
This feels like Hozier is a ancient bard and he is singing in a sunlit meadow while nymphs and satyrs join in his worship of the sun god
This song is like a worship song for Apollo. Lol. I love it!
This song makes me imagine Hozier levitating in a clearing of the forest from "In the Woods Somewhere" while a beam of sunlight shines down on him and leaves swirl around him. I love it.
You just described the video for this.
Is there a video!?!
This song is joyful, resigned, cathartic. It's the march of life. It's a devotional to the carrying on of each new day, even when it's hard, even when it's blinding.
There's something so reckless about every kind of love he sings about, like a fanatic about to throw themselves on a blade for their gods. It's equal parts terrifying and inspiring.
Ok not to be dramatic or anything but this is the best song that’s ever had the kindness to grace my lowly underserving ears, I’ve never felt this before
Now it's clear that Andrew is unable to create bad music.
hozier's name is andrew???
@@elizabadiur5551 Andrew John lol
@@elizabadiur5551 hozier is apart of his last name. “Hozier-Byrne”
ANDREW??
It makes so much sense that his name is Andrew but I feel like I was never supposed to know
He is not of this world, I swear.
I had a dream last night where Hozier approached me from an overgrown backyard on the outskirts of a very big city and all he said to me was "sunlight." I very recently started listening to Hozier so I didnt know of this song yet and when I woke up I looked up "sunlight hozier" and lo and behold here it is. I really dont know what to do with this information
Our forest god hozier led you to his prayers
how does it feel to have received a message from a god
Forest God has blessed her
I fucking knew he was a god
this song makes me feel more like a plant than my asexuality ever did... ive never wanted to photosynthesize more in my entire life.
honestly same lol I'm aroace
How does being asexual Make you a plant?
i have never related to a youtube comment more
@@joebidenshusbandnamedkyle6420 i mean some plants are capable of asexual reproduction lol
I just guffawed XD
He really wrote a whole song for Apollo worshipers huh
@Khathutshelo Mainganye Ooh wait Thats an awesome idea I might borrow it if it’s chill
if only i could be so grossly incandescent
\[T]/
Praise the sun
The choir just makes everything more magical✨😭
Hozier shows emotion in his music that otherwise would be undescribable.
How can someone not appreciate the greatness of this song for real?? This is pure art, poetry, emotion??? How can someone be this talented?? If yall don't play this song at my funeral I'll literally resurrect.
god, imagine listening to this in an abandoned cathedral in the woods, left to be reclaimed by nature. the sunlight peaking through the rotting rafters, illuminating the motes of dust dancing about as if they were pixies; birdsong in the distance, the wind rushing through the trees.
Hey, I would shun the light
Sharin' evenings cool and quiet
Who betrayed that I'm the night
For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
But his heart would not take flight
Betray the moon as acolyte
I'm first and fierce if I'm in sight
Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
I have been lost in sunlight
Flew like a moth to you, sunlight, oh, sunlight
All we love is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
All the titles the same
Told before and told again
Soul that's born in cold and rain
Oh, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
At last, came burgeoning
To bury it in a burning flame
It's love and it's decisive pain
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
All that was shown to me, sunlight
There's somethin' foreknown to me, sunlight, oh sunlight
All we love is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
But it is sunlight, sunlight
Ooh, and these colors fade for you
Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
Ooh, and these colors fade for you
Hold me, carry me slowly, my sunlight
Each day, you rise with me
Know that I would gladly be
The eucharist to your certainty
Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
You strap the weight of me
A death trap clad happily
With wax melted, I need to see
Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
All we love is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
All we love is sunlight
But it is sunlight
Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
Thank you very much for the lyrics 🙃 I only think that eucharist should be Icarus 🤔
Pristine tuned, thanks so much for the lyrics 😃✌.
In third verse "the Icarus to your certainty / Oh my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight / Strap the wing to me"
i noticed u typed out the lyrics for all releases today and i want to thank you ! i really appreciate it
strap the WINGS of me
I have decided to name my pet fish after this song. This song means so much to me. It has helped me through so much. The fish is a beautiful red color with purple iridescence, reminding me of a sunset after a summer thunderstorm. The sky was a beautiful gold at the time that I got him. All of this has led me to name him Sunlight.
Good for you ❤️❤️
It is astonishing how this album is even better than imagined in my dreams
This album has renewed my soul and I feel lighter than before
God bless you wonderful people who understand what a gift Hozier is to humankind.
leave it to hozier to make the most heart-wrenching, mind-shattering, life-altering songs ever
I was about to fall asleep and then the notification got to me and suddenly I'm wide awake, praising my Forest God.
Honestly you know what it is? This music feels like exactly the type of music that they should be playing in church. It's soulful and it's worshipful. And it feels like that deep and abiding love that one should have, that's completely unconditional. I'm not Christian myself.
But I used to be. And this feels like how it should have felt then
People need to express to hozier how impactful this song is. Hozier does not get enough credit or recogniton for it. And as such, he does not perform it nearly enough.
The way Hozier sings about love is so pure, I can't help but weep.
You know how you repeat a word enough that it stops being and sounding like itself? Sunlight
I would shun the light
Share in evening's cool and quiet
Who would trade that hum of night
For sunlight, sunlight, sunlight?
But whose heart would not take flight
Betray the moon as acolyte
On first and fierce affirming sight
Of sunlight, sunlight, sunlight?
I had been lost to you, sunlight
Flew like a moth to you, sunlight, oh sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, but it is sunlight
Oh, the tale's the same
Told before and told again
A soul that's born in cold and rain
No sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
At last can grant a name
To a buried and a burning flame
As love and its decisive pain
Oh my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
All that was shown to me, sunlight
Was something foreknown to me, sunlight, oh sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, but it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, but it is sunlight, sunlight
All these colors fade for you
only
Carry me slowly, my sunlight
All these colors fade for you
only
Carry me slowly, my sunlight
Each day you rise with me
Know that I would gladly be
The Icarus to your certainty
Oh my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
Strap the wing to me
A death trap clad happily
With wax melted I'd meet the sea
Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, but it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, but it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, but it is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, your love is sunlight
Oh, but it is sunlight
Sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

Thank you lyrics guy
Only holier could get away with singing sunlight like 50 times and it still sounding flawless
This song is so beautiful like wtf💖
I love this song the more I listen to it. To me, it’s a culmination of a several sings, most particularly, following perfectly after “Would That I.” If the first album was the songs of a broken heart, this album is of a man in love. Sunlight is the ecstatic expression of that, and of the natural world. It is transcendent & spiritual, as well. It’s just gorgeous.

my dog died recently and i wasn't able to cry until i listened to this song a week after the fact...it was a cathartic requiem of sorts (in easter week...after notre dame). i'm not religious but was raised catholic and this music is very evocative and pretty powerful for me. hozier is a beautiful soul!
i wish i could drink this song
A Hozier album, what a wonderful thing to wake to
Being broken, being cracked open to the point that the world seeps in. This song helps me find power in vulnerability. Hozier is an angel.
played this while having a mental breakdown on the bathroom floor. somehow made me sob even harder; but i think i needed to cry. this song's magical.
Need me a man to love me like this song
Need a man to love me like hozier loves his sunlight.
Creature of the Night becoming the Chosen of the Sun vibes.
Broke my foot to this song 10/10
Tears flow, and yes, the glory and the majesty and the Victory of sunlight, fills me with me awe. The Power of a hundred sunlight angels in this song.
Sometimes I feel like this song is a prayer. The organ and choir don't help.
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
I JUST GOT HOME FROM SCHOOL WHAT A TREAT
i’ve never clicked on a notification this fast in my entire life
listening to this song is a spiritual experience
I'm sitting in the train, gazing into open skies and feeling the sun on my face through the window listening to Hozier praising "Sunlight, Sunlight, Sunlight". A religious experience truly.
This song makes me visualize angel wings and churches. Its just heavenly
I love "Movement", but this is my new favorite song on Wasteland, Baby!
Pelor applauds your song of praise dear bard..
I’m so in love with this immortal bard hozier
This song makes me dizzy...what a masterpiece.
Ok but this whole album slaps
ok imagine listening to this song in 8D tho?? an absolute DREAM
*Big rant*, but does anyone else think of "Take Me to Church"?
"If I'm a pagan of the good times, my lover's the Sunlight"
I can't help but remember the music video and all the sweet moments between the characters there -- as well as the horrid ones.
I feel like this song describes that story too, in a way. Or a story of another same sex couple ("the tale's the same, told before and told again"). But it lingers in the weight of a secret and how their love would bring it to light.
They lived in the darkness of night--"in cold and rain"--before they met them. It would be perhaps more peaceful to "shun the light" and live life pretending to be blissfully ignorant. And yet like the night giving way in the face of sunlight, they've fallen in love fiercely for the first time ("whose heart would not take flight? ...flew like a moth to you, Sunlight"). In doing so, they betray the religion that guided their life ("the moon as acolyte")
Falling in for the other made them realize that they were never straight ("at last can grant a name, to a buried and a burning flame, as love and it's decisive pain... all that shown to me was something foreknown to me").
And now their life has changed. The image they had of themself and the world they knew before fades like a photo under sunlight - under falling for the other ("these colors fade for you only").
But in the end, it was the life they gladly chose.
They'd wake up together each morning, with no regrets. Despite all the pain, of having a religion which damns them, they'd do it again in a heartbeat.
this makes me wanna dance, almost like jumping around in circles, with my eyes closed, while holding the skirt of my dress and my arm and my lovers' are intertwined at the elbows while she does the same, our hair moving to the rythm of the music in such a motion that it almost doesn't allow for the smiles in our faces to be properly seen but we don't care because we're the utmost happy living our little cottacore life
i don't even have a girlfriend 😭
This song eases all of my anxiety. Thank you Hozier.
The lyrics to his songs are so UNIQUE!,the sound is just...I don't even know what adjective to use
His voice brings my soul delicious sin and serenity
In this beautiful work of art I shall sing as a hymn to the god Apollo for all he has brought
This feels like the sun 🌞
This song played in the car ride on the way home, after our first kiss. We had a very short but very bright flame. I still think about you three years after we broke up.
This song literally feels like pure, unconditional love. I'm obsessed.
This easily describes how I imagine love truly feels. Being aromantic, I have very little understanding of what romantic love is supposed to feel like, and I long for it despite my heart not working that way. I instead live out these dreams of love through my characters. Is it healthy? Maybe not, but even still. I will always have my Sunlight.
My Imbolc song right here, ladies and gents!
Hozier my love, you are my sunlight ! Thank you !
It's pure bliss Hozier ❤
I decided to listen to this song because someone said they had something akin to a religious experience listening to it and after doing so myself I feel like that was an apt description
yes am plant need sunlight
bless this music
Betray the moon as acolyte
Hozier's music is a gift from the old gods and the new ones or whatever you may believe.
I firmly believe he is Rhaegar reborn.
I just discovered this song from a Greek myth playlist and boy am I glad I gave it a listen. Yet another Hozier song to praise; shame I never knew of it until now! It's helping me get through writing the fifth chapter of my book and I'm ever grateful for its existence uwu Thank you for your incredible writing and singing, Hozier!
Is there a song more beautiful than this ... don't remember in this moment i'm listening it ... oh my Sunlight ... Sunlight ... Sunlight
I literally stopped all other tasks to just listen to the entire album. Gorgeous.
