The people featured are all activists of some sort here, those I recognise Eamonn McCann, Bernadette Devlin, Sinéad Burke, Saoirse Long, Colm O'Gorman, Ellie Kisyombe, Christina Noble, Stephen Rea, Panti Bliss(Rory O'Neill).
The people in the video are influential activists fighting (civil right etc) for new change in Ireland. The clips play are videos the of protests that person is a part of.
Every time I hear her sing the "power has been cried by those stronger than me straight into the face that tells you rattle your chains if you love being free " line I get goosebumps. Every. Single. Time.
Mavis is a one LIVING LEGEND, she is simply wonderful! Legendary Diva! And in lyrics, REFERENCES to LEGENDARY singers, in highlights the unbelievable Patti LaBelle, the best Singer of ALL time!
what a song! I've recently started listening to HOzier more. Another one I really love is "Almost (sweet music)" cool video too. About the transcendence of music I think.

People talk about being "woke" but waking doesn't mean shit if you don't rise up and make change.
I always took the song to mean that it's not enough to be aware of problems, you have to act on it and do something about it. Great reaction!
Thank you

The video features Irish activists listening to this song for the very first time while watching videos of protests/ civil rights marches etc 🇮🇪🙌

Dam Mavis Staples voice is still powerful as ever

Andrea Rowell she very lucky to have come from a family of amazing singers she still amazes me all these years later.
@@andrearowell9316 Mavis is 81!!! So many female singers just don't have it anymore at that age - amazing!!
Saw her at MSG last September, and she’s still incredible.
It is resonating to their souls. It's not the waking, it's the rising, and it's time to RISE.
Loved the song from the first time I heard it! I think this should be playing everywhere right now✊
Mavis sang for MLK.
Nina Simone, Billie, James Brown, Mavis.
Patti LaBelle...

Great reaction. Enjoyed it a lot (also you are v handsome)
Thank you so much 😁
Hozier is pronounced like 'cozier' btw
Every one of those in the video are activists.
Mavis Staples is mentioned in this song, it must be odd to wind up singing about yourself.
