    Lyrics:
    Do you think I’d give up
    That this might’ve shook the love from me
    Or that I was on the brink
    How could you think darling I’d scare so easily?
    Now that it’s done
    There’s not one thing that I would change
    My life was a storm
    Since I was born
    How could I fear any hurricane?
    If someone asked me at the end
    I’d tell them put me back in it
    Darling, I would do it again
    If I could hold you for a minute
    Darling, I’d go through it again
    I would still be surprised I could find you, darling
    In any life
    If I could hold you for a minute
    Darling, I would do it again
    For all that was said
    Of where we’d end up at the end of it
    When the heart would cease
    Ours never knew peace
    What good would it be on the far side of things?
    It was too soon
    When that part of you was ripped away
    A grip taking hold
    Like a cancer that grows
    Each piece of your body that it takes
    Though I know my heart would break
    I’d tell them put me back in it
    Darling, I would do it again
    If I could hold you for a minute
    Darling, I’d go through it again
    I would still be surprised I could find you darling
    In any life
    If I could hold you for a minute
    Darling, I would do it again
    I would not change it each time,
    Heaven is not fit to house a love
    Like you and I
    I would not change it each time,
    Heaven is not fit to house a love
    Like you and I
    I would not change it each time,
    Heaven is not fit to house a love
    Like you and I

    "My life was a storm since I was born, how could I fear any hurricane?" This line is amazing knowing the context. Paolo and Francesca were two lovers who were killed by Gianciotto, Paolo's brother but also Francesca's husband, when he found out they had a relationship. In the Divine Comedy, Dante puts both of them in the second circle of Hell, Lust. Their punishment is to be eternally buffeted about by a hurricane so strong that tears their bodies apart-- which is a metaphor to represent how they let themselves be ruled by their lust without controlling it.

    I was actually born in a blizzard, so the line "My life was a storm since I was born; how could I fear any hurricane," hits me. My life has never been stable, but whenever there are songs or stories that have lines like this I remind myself that I can be strong. My "Francesca" has been the eye of my hurricane for four years now and she makes every uphill battle, every whirlwind, every circle of hell worth it. One minute with her makes everything worth it.

    Let’s talk about Francesca!
    Francesca da Rimini or Francesca da Polenta was a medieval noblewoman of Ravenna.
    She fell in love with Paolo, the younger brother of her old and deformed husband Giovanni, who she had married as part of a political strategy only.
    Enraged at their betrayal, Giovanni slew both Paolo and Francesca where they laid.
    In Inferno, Dante and Virgil meet Francesca and her lover Paolo in the second circle of hell, reserved for the lustful.
    I believe that this song could be from the point of view of either Francesca or Paolo, saying that it was all worth it, that they would literally go through hell again If they could be together one more time.
    Very Hozier of them 🥺
    I am absolutely in love with it! What do you all think about it? 🤎

    My best friend died six weeks ago. I've been too consumed by my grief to listen to any music, but by god this song sums up my emotions so well. I would wander through every single circle of hell, climb every mountain and swim every ocean and experience every bit of agony I've ever been through all over again, two times over if I could just hold her for one more minute. I will look for her in this life, the next, and every life my soul will live, probably including past ones. This song, paired with Unknown, have resonated with me so deeply and helped me realize that I'm not as alone as I feel I am. Maybe this was a bit trauma-dumpy, but I just wanted to share this true testament to how deeply soul-healing Hozier's music is. I don't know who this man sold his soul to to make this kind of life-altering music, but it must've been a worthwhile transaction.

    Although it seems this song is about losing a girlfriend/ spouse. The lyrics resonate with me so much as I sit next to my dad in a hospice, who’s on his last legs because of cancer. When he passes he can join my mother in heaven. They can be with each other. And as the song speaks of, I wouldn’t change a thing of my childhood up until now, no matter how painful. If I could relive being with my parents, knowing I’d lose them again, I would. Thankyou Hozier, for producing such a beautiful song ❤

      Somehow I missed the notification....just listened and I'm bawling like a baby....I've seen him 6 times now, I was really waffling about seeing him this tour but this song convinced me, I just dropped $200+ for a GA ticket to Chicago, i should have trusted my gut and got tickets when they dropped lmao

    Lyrics for those of us that like to be able to read in their own time:
    Do you think I'd give up.
    That this might've shook the love from me,
    or that I was on the brink.
    How could you think, darling I'd scare so easily?
    Now that it's done,
    There's not one thing that I would change.
    My life was a storm
    Since I was born.
    How could I fear any hurricane?
    If someone asked me at the end,
    I'd tell them put me back in it.
    Darling, I would do it again.
    If I could hold you for a minute,
    Darling, I'd go through it again.
    I would still be surprised
    I could find you, darling in any life.
    If I could hold you for a minute,
    Darling, I would do it again.
    For all that was said
    Of where we'd end up at the end of it.
    When the heart would cease
    ours never knew peace.
    What good would it be on the far side of things?
    It was too soon
    When that part of you was ripped away.
    A grip taking hold
    like a cancer that grows,
    Each part of your body that it takes.
    Though I know my heart would break,
    I'd tell them put me back in it.
    Darling, I would do it again.
    If I could hold you for a minute,
    Darling, I'd go through it again.
    I would still be surprised
    I could find you, darling in any life.
    If I could hold you for a minute,
    Darling, I would do it again.
    I would not change it each time.
    Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I.
    I would not change it each time.
    Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I.
    I would not change it each time.
    Heaven is not fit to house a love.
    Like you and I.

    Fighting the urge to just send this to my partner without any context. He doesn't understand English well so he would probably just be confused. I met him through my abusive ex. That man almost ruined my life, but if I could go back I would do it again, as the song says, because I wouldn't have met my love otherwise. I'm so glad I have him. I'm never letting go.

    Hozier really saw Dante's concept of contrapasso, the concept of the souls in the inferno WANTING to stay in the inferno and said: "I am going to make an album that encapsulates the hell all of us choose to live in and find comfort in every time we learn to love someone or something" and I, for one, love him for it.
    (on another note: if he's making songs based off souls we meet in hell then I cannot wait for the song inspired by Judas Iscariot that's going to kill me, surely)

  • @noahhyatt

    For those who don't know, this seems to be from the perspective of Paolo from the Inferno of Dante's Divina Comedia--Paolo and Francesca were two lovers who were whirling about in hell, caught up by the chaotic winds of their uncontrolled and destructive love.

Well, he surpassed the first album and now (I believe) has surpassed the second album, He and his music are aging like fine wine! Bravo!

    Oh dear god, this song! Going to get a bit poetic here but what else can I say? How can it make me so moved to tears yet leaving me aching to hear it again? His words are always like a rope around your heart.The ending choral is the ringing of heaven. To be parted like this, and to have know such love would rip your very soul apart. Needing to contine, over and over despite the pain, just to be able to hold on to their memory and never let them go.
