Lyrics:
A two tonne weight around my chest feels like
It just dropped a twenty storey height
If there was anyone to ever get through this life
With their heart still intact, they didn’t do it right
The last time I felt your weight on my chest you said
'We didn't get it right but love we did our best'
And we will again,
Moving on in time and taking more from
Everything that ends
And all things end
All that we intend is scrawled in sand
or slips right through our hands
And just knowing that everything will end
Should not change our plans when we begin again
We begin again
I have never known a silence
Like the one fallen here
Never watched my future darken in a single tear
I know we want this to go easy by being somebody's fault
But we’ve gone long enough to know this isn’t what we want
And that isn’t always bad
When people say that something is forever
Either way it ends
And all things end
All that we intend is scrawled in sand
or slips right through our hands
And just knowing
That everything will end
Should not change our plans
When we begin again
We begin again
we begin again
We begin again
And all things end
(Knowing we can always start again)
All that we intend
(Knowing we can have another day)
is scrawled in sand
(Knowing we can always start again)
or slips right through our hands
(Knowing we can have another day)
And just knowing
That everything will end
Should not change our plans
When we begin again

#Hozier #AllThingsEnd #EatYourYoung
The switch from hospital gowns in the beginning to gospel choir gowns in the end is such a clever nod to the way gospel music impacts Hozier's work. What a beautifully done video!
I didn’t even notice that until now, that’s an amazing detail that shows the power of the gospel and worship and how it helps with grief
Those choir gown scrubs are wild 😂
@@e.m495 Not really but just the religious music itself is the inspo, cause hozier is not a believer of the Church as much cause of the conservative thoughts
@@gsiya4023 We admire their "beauty" of the rich and famous. Are they truly beautiful? as they seem to have:
- hoofs for the legs
- bald heads
- animal faced /birds, dogs, wolves , you name it)
- tails
- horns
(Channels which share knowledge about this topic:
Divine truth1
offshoot100)
But they "look" human?. Sure they do. They must hide, of we would kill them as we would then know, who they are (offspring of Cain = the cursed bloodline)
But they "look" human?. - it is just an illusion.
What`s underneath the illusion? - didn`t you already get a picture?
Ever noticed that every singer has at least 1 dark song?
Could it be, they sharing their experience after signing the blood contract?
M J - has “thriller”
K P - has “wide awake”
I've been listening to this song for hours a day and I always have all of these thoughts about the symbolism in the song and the video.
But I think one of my visual favorites is the idea of the "choir" of people who die with him--that piece of them that goes with him--like you often hear health professionals talk about when they lose someone. And then the piece of him that stays in that room as he last was alive as if to serve as a reminder for the future to anyone in the room about what can happen the next time someone else is in the room. Both perpetually stuck together and yet separate for different purposes. He'll be stuck in the moment forever trying to be saved, and they'll forever remember the lesson of his loss.
My favorite symbolic features is the idea of rebirth that follows in a lot of his songs: that he's with someone who doesn't break his heart... this time (but maybe next time). Whether it's a rebirth of the soul or a rebirth of the relationship? It works either way.
I love his music so much
As someone who works in a hospital and wears scrubs all the time, I’m absolutely mesmerized and enthralled by the surgical gown to choir gown transition in the costuming. Whoever designed those is brilliant.
How's the Covid Tyranny and corrupt SickCare industry going? 🤔🙄
Thats awesome
thank you for your work :)
I hadn’t noticed that. That’s awesome
I was thinking the same thing!!
The contrast between him standing tall and energetic in that suit and the body laying cold and alone…just hits you in some odd place of the heart.
I just watched the video for the first time today and let me tell you... I sobbed like a baby! There is such beauty and melancholy in this song, it hits the most tender part of my heart as someone with a chronic illness that could result in me dying young🥹💓The life I have is beautiful and will come to an end someday either young or old, and his song makes me have peace with that
I physically gasped in that part and had to pause the video to recover 😭
@@AvaAdore444I watched it now, not for the first time, and I still cried 😂 I hope you have a full and happy life, regardless of your chronic illness 🤗
As a nurse, the sadness and helplessness in the surgeon’s eyes hit me so hard. No matter how many patients you lose and how hard you fight for them, you’ll always feel the grief and the “what ifs.”
I'm a nurse too. I feel this whole video.
Thank you for all you do in your work!
ER nurse and I was thinking the same. 💔
Never gets easy does it?
Dad's a retired military medic, sent this too him after his wife/my step mother passed a few weeks back as he had so many what if's when he'd already did everything he could have possibly done to help her
God that muffled sound of the music playing in the background while looking at the dead body hurts so much. The portrayal of grief taking over because you couldn't save someone, to the acceptance that that's just how it goes through the dancing and singing together only to cut back to the harsh reality they are gone.
This is rising as my favorite Hozier song of all time.
Fr gave me such a surge of emotions and a bit of a spook
Mine too. I absolutely LOVE All Things End.
i was already spoiled by your comment and i still did not see that coming. it is indeed unexpected
You can see the stark fear in his eyes. Like a clinical dose of reality amidst beautiful music. Almost makes for a comic juxtaposition
You summed that up perfectly. I started crying once seeing that. Wonderful portrayal of the emotion of the song 🥲
Nobody is talking about it, but I love the first part of the head nurses dancing. She looks at her hands, knowing the mans life was in them and now its gone. She emphasises her grief and desire to save his life with the way she takes her right fist over her heart, then sliding it down her left hand that then pulses. This represents her grief, cutting her heart out to give it to him but she couldnt do that. It also shows her love for life, ans grief for the loss of it. She loses part of her heart when she loses a patient.
oh i thought she was the surgeon! but yeah the choreography is amazing
This reminds me of the Jamie Anderson quote “Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in the hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.” Another brilliant song and video by the team, touching a nerve, especially as we all carry new types of grief within us.
What a beautiful quote. I've never heard it, thanks for adding it here.
I wasn't crying until I saw this quote...I think it to be quite accurate.
That was beautiful, thank you for sharing.
There was this scene in Fleabag, after her Mom died.
"I don't know what to do with it, with all the love I have for her, I don't know where to put it now."
Adding my comment to the chorus of comments already saying: This is beautiful!
To watch someone die in your efforts to help them live has to be the most heartbreaking thing ever. The videography and choreography for this song is perfect. I’ve found a new respect for our medical professionals through Hozier.
I feel comforted by this song and video. My grandmother passed away yesterday while battling Alzheimer’s. Thank you Hozier, for feeding my soul when I needed it most.
Свет - душе вашей,бабушки!
Но не говорите больше таких вещей-ему плохо!)И он еще жив! Живите живым,она в вашем сердце,возможно?!
so so sorry for your loss, rip!
Hey, @Mules2468, I'm so sorry you lost your grandmother, especially to such a cruel disease. I am glad to read that this song & video bring you comfort. I hope you have great memories & are surrounded by love in your grief. Take care of yourself. ❤🙏🏼
Mine died 3hours ago. I’m broken😭
@@Resslerette1 Thank you, Lori! I appreciate your kind words.
I love how the entire meaning of a song can be changed when the artist shows how it’s meant to be taken. It’s fantastic.
I don't think it's "meant" to be taken any one way. The lyrics are about the inevitably of endings but it doesn't have to be about loss or death necessarily. It can be about any type of ending and how you shouldn't get discouraged from living how you want to in the moment despite knowing it won't last. Some of the lyrics even, in my opinion, allude to another interpretation of dealing with the ending of relationships
"Darling, we didn't do it right. But we did our best."
"If anyone makes it through this life with their heart intact they didn't do it right"
Art means what it means to the person experiencing it.
@@justinnutter9008 ahhh, that makes sense! I just ment that the meaning (for me, at least), changed once I saw it here. But yes, I do agree ^^
@@shinesnakee glad I didn't come off as condescending lol
@@justinnutter9008 no, not at all! :)
@@justinnutter9008 I definitely interpret It as a loss from the death of a relationship, since I am currently going through a really difficult breakup.
This song helps me feel and release pent up energy from the loss.. The song also gives me lots of comfort that "All Things End" including the feeling of my aching heart and my aching mind.
The fact that this is coming out right after I find out my best friend passed away... So much comfort in such an awful time.
Hey, I know I'm just a random person on the Internet but that's absolutely awful and I'm really sorry. Just knowing that everything will end should not change our plans when we begin again. ❤️
So sorry to hear that 💖
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤❤
I'm so sorry, I wish you all the comfort and healing in the world. Ik it's hard to believe rn but things will get better, the pain will fade.
One of my best friends passed away a couple weeks ago. She was only 20. I listened to this song on repeat for days. The pain wont go away, you only learn to persist with it. I wish you all the best
There are a thousand novels written in the eyes of that surgeon. That was a masterful performance of expression.
What I love absolutely the most about this song is that it ends with an lift note, the chord never goes "home" and is left hanging. Because, well, the last line is "when we begin again".
This is exactly why I appreciate Hozier's musicality. These small artistic choices elevate a song.
❤
Notice how at the end, the scene looks like the eye of the woman at the very beginning.
The white room for the white of the eye, the gospel singers in blue for the iris, and Hozier in black for the pupil.
her solo dancing was so good! you could feel her grief so well
That was Dana Wilson @danadaners. Brilliant choreography by Jillian Meyers @jillymeyers.
Even in the blkack and white her eyes were piercing through. I love it
See lyrics please
My personal favourites:
1:09 - how the surgeon goes from concerned observation to pained realisation in a millisecond
1:26 - her conversation with her hands, it's like she asks them "why did your skill fail, why were you not enough?"
1:58 - the syncronised dance brings the feeling of solidarity in pain
2:40 - the multifaceted contrast between the sterile hospital envirnoment, the "fomal-retro-stage" Andrew and his usual stage preasence we know from concerts. Also - how his hight among shorter dancers emphasises that he's somehow not from the same plane of existance.
3:10 - the hand gestures reverse to the clap we hear
And general play with sound design, the fadings of music timed just right.
Truly a masterpiece.
Your comment had me stop everything I was doing to read and than go back in video to watch the exact times for each observation you made throughout the video.
All I can say, is bless your soul for adding your opinion of this video in the comments. More likely unaware than not, your comments truly have huge resignation to what's been happening in my life. Thank you. ❤
I saw those clap gestures at the end as heartbeats, or maybe absent heartbeats
@@julo2230 YESSS!! somebody who noticed that too. my first thought upon seeing the reverse clap gestures was „it’s like they’re mimicking a beating heart“
nice observation although i think the height one is a bit far fetched hes 6'8 😂
100% agree, it's terribly moving. I would add:
- 0:38 - when Hozier's right hand reaches the surgeon's arm, and her reaction to it;
- 2:47 - the surgeons' clothes now have the design of the singers' robes in gospel choirs.
- 3:06 - the muffled sound and the close-up on Hozier. Can't find the words right now to express why it is so powerful, but @iDanzick made it well.
The song it in itself, the lyrics, the message, the performance, are absolutely brillant and make me cry each time I listen to it, and the video adds a lot. There's such an attention to detail, such a great editing work, the choreography is beautiful... You can understand this song is so many ways (this is one of the many talents of Hozier in my opinion) and the video illustrates the message perfectly and in an incredibly powerful way. A masterpiece...
🫀I had a heart attack a few years ago at 33 from stress from SA and DV. I woke up on the table while they were putting in my stent. I'm so grateful that God kept me here for my kids. This song has made me cry everytime I've heard it and now the video... Wow... I'm just so grateful that I've been given the chance to be able to begin again. God removed my heart of stone and replaced it with a heart of flesh. Thank you Hozier for helping me remember that my plans don't have to change💜🫀
glad you are here with us today ❤
I am glad your still here. Bless you always ❤🤍🕊️🕊️
Dear god, I've heard that a heart attack at that age is usually fatal. I'm so glad that you're still here to live a second life. I'm sure that even more than you, your kids and wife are grateful for you sticking around. Losing a father is pretty hard at any age, but specially while being young.
So grateful you survived & are still here for your children, yourself, & others who love you! ❤️
Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that you've experienced such a hard time and it's wonderful you've made through it! No wonder this song & the video touch you deeply.. 💚
1:30 'I have never known the silence'
I love how the scene changes like a silent film
I spent a better part of a year in the hospital thinking I was gonna die. After fully recovering I realized everything will end and death does not discriminate, I appreciate every single moment with my family and friends because we take nothing the grave.
Более того,все ,что было ,остается в памяти живых!))❤
@@НикНика-и3й very true ❤️
Sinners and saints, takes all
Me too ❤ forces you into a new perspective doesn't it x
So happy you're ok 🙏🏽
OMG THOSE SURGEONS ARE ACTUALLY DANCERS NO WONDER HE DIED
😂
The best comment
You made me laugh soooo hard 😂😂😂😂Lol
Lol i was tearing up until I read this 😂
😭😭😭😭😭😭
I think this song’s perspective of a healthcare provider emphasizes how tumultuous the healthcare field is on them. They lose a patient and they have a short period of time to collect themselves thus to start again. It’s heartbreaking when healthcare workers lost so many people during the pandemic and though the patients are gone they have to move on and keep going. They’re really the heroes and I hope people are kind to all healthcare workers cause they’re going/went through so much these past years.
Obsessed with the gospel ending of this song 😭🥰❤️
I am glad you love it, how long have you been a fan
im sad that ill never be able to fully express my gratitude to this man for making such beautiful music that speaks the words my soul needs to hear
I feel this every time I listen to his music. It's to a point where I feel like the only way he and other people I talk about him with, will get a proper explanation of how his music makes me feel is only if they become me and feel what I feel. Cause words can not explain that feeling 🥺
I hope one day you do get the chance to tell him. It's not the same as you telling him yourself, but please know that there are MANY of us who've been lucky enough to tell him exactly that. I think what I told him is how grateful I am that I exist in the same era that he does, that he's making this life-changing, life-saving art. And he seems to be deeply & truly grateful every time he hears it.
You just made me choke up in tears! You said that so perfectly. I can so relate, it's hard to express my love. Thru my daddy's cancer, mom's dementia, Hozier soothes my soul. How I adore him!!! You are so awesome, by the way!!! 🙂
@@GingerKC thank you so much, you’re just as awesome gorgeous ❤️❤️🥰
@Boikokobetso Sereo Sereo I think I love you!!! ❤️ 🙂 Let's steal a Lexus, be detectives, drive round following Hozier!!! Name our kids ........ 😘
Can't even begin to explain how obsessed I am with his music
Ok but the scrubs taking on the silhouette of gospel choir uniforms when it cuts to the particularly gospel choir heavy part of the song was such an excellent detail
I've been a nurse since I was 21...the first patient I ever lost was in her very early 50's. She had almost no medical history, but she suffered a massive heart attack while she was dyeing her hair.
Her hair was still covered in dye when she got to the ER. I somehow got some on my gloves while I was doing chest compressions. That always really stuck with me--she was just in the middle of living her life when she died. No idea what was about to happen.
“In the middle of living her life” What a beautiful observation. We expect death to find us in bed, or after a long illness, when it often comes like a thief, when we least expect it, when we’re not ready to go. 10 years as a nurse, and I’ve had way more wins than losses, but it’s always the “middle of living” stories that gut me.
This is such an intimate and relatable depiction of grief. It’s heart wrenching and freeing at the same time, another masterpiece from Hozier
Did anyone get an award for this video?
The shot of the corpse and the muffled choir in the background gave me goosebumps and an existential moment. This is what I hope I can listen to on my deathbed one day. Lord, thank you for blessing the Earth with Hozier’s music and creativity. It sounds so weird but every time I listen to one of his songs that I connect with, I have an out of body experience and feel that much closer to God and the universe.
Woodland Jesus has done it yet again. The reimagining of this song in terms of a surgeon losing a patient, the syncing of the heart monitor with the beat of the song, the sudden switch to monochrome after he dies, the dance choreography, the surgeon gown to choir gown transition (and btw those costumes!), him being dressed in a suit as if he were at his funeral, and the sudden cut back to the dead body with the song muffled in the background - all of these things make one of my favourite music videos for one of my favourite hozier songs. Thank you, Andrew.
Woodland Jesus 😂
The switch to the gospel scene after represents that life continues after death for me. They are still up there living and dancing on even if their body has died. Death is not the end. There is light and connection even in the darkest of times.
Yes. Well said!
This comment section makes me bawl my eyes out. Some stories tragic and devastating while others full of hope. I love this community hozier has created where people find such comfort and peace
Lyrics:
A two-tonne weight around my chest feels like
It just dropped a 20 storey height
If there was anyone to ever get through this life
With their heart still intact, they didn't do it right
The last time I felt your weight on my chest, you said
"We didn't get it right, but love, we did our best"
And we will again
Moving on in time and taking more from
Everything that ends
And all things end
All that we intend is scrawled in sand
It slips right through our hand
And just knowing
That everything will end
We should not change our plan
Whеn we begin again
And we bеgin again, hm-mm
I have never known a silence like the one fallen here
Never watch my future darken in a single tear
I know we want this to go easy by being somebody's fault
But we've come long enough to know
This isn't what we want
And that isn't always bad
When people say that something is forever
Either way, it ends
And all things end
All that we intend is scrawled in sand
It slips right through our hand
And just knowing
That everything will end
We should not change our plan
When we begin again
We begin again
We begin again, hm-mm
Darlin'
And all things end
All that we intend is built on sand
It slips right through our hands
And just knowing
That everything will end
Won't change our plans
When we begin again
And all things end
All that we intend is scrawled in sand
It slips right through our hand
And just knowing
That everything will end
We should not change our plans
When we begin again
my favorite teacher who really was like a second mother to me died about 2 months ago. i still come back to this song to give me comfort, and to bawl my eyes out when i miss her the most. all things end. even life. this is definitely my all time favorite hozier song. it’s so bittersweet in the way it portrays grief.
This was wayyy too good come on now. That cut to him laying there alone after seeing him sing hits sooo hard. I don’t know who directed this but GENIUS ❤❤❤
Jared Asher Harris is the director ❤
Director is listed at the end and in the description
GENIUS. Yes.
❤❤❤
this song didn’t stand out to me until i was diagnosed with a terminal condition. all i could think about.
That flatline when it's about to go into the chorus made my stomach sank and my chest to burst
Hello fan
Hozier is like no other musician. This song makes me cry like a baby but it’s just so beautiful and sad. I don’t even watch music videos but this is one of the best I’ve seen in a really long time.
I am glad you gave it a shot, thanks for the beautiful comment and how long have you been a fan
I lost my Dad in 2017 and was by his side at the ICU when he passed. I lost my mom 4 years later on the exact same day. I’ve been listening to this song on repeat and it’s been so healing but this video was on another level. Thank you for allowing me to connect with my grief in this way. This song and video will hold a permanent place in my heart.
@gettingfairest5622 thank you ❤️
I lost my dad in 2017 too. And my mom a long time before. That is really something that your mom passed on the same day 5 yrs later! Hope you're ok and we are all glad this song exists.
My dad passed in January. I get you
I’m just so sorry for your loss! That’s a lot to deal with! Bless you! 🙏🏼🫶🤍
Hello fan
Dudes looken mighty dapper in that suit i must say
When I heard that flatline and saw him playing dead my eyes stung with tears.. this man is not allowed to die. Ever.
2:35 the transition here with the sheet made me genuinely start sobbing uncontrollably. I have several chronic illnesses that have been gradually worsening, and in the last two years I went from being able to live a normal-ish life with lots of discomfort to being completely house-bound, very unwell all the time, and constantly focused on treatments and symptoms and medications to hopefully not get any worse. My relationship with my body and with my life is very medicalized, and i’ve lost many of the abilities that i used to think of as a main part of who i was.
Before my illnesses took over my life, I was on track to becoming a professional musician or music teacher. I played my instruments and sang constantly, and performed every chance I got. I can no longer play my instruments frequently or as well as i could. When i do play, it’s incredibly painful and frustrating. I can still sing, most of the time, but i can’t stand and fill an auditorium with my energy while performing powerful music. That’s what I miss more than anything else i’ve lost. Seeing this transition going from a medical setting where everything is going wrong and it’s all confusion and dread when the sheet comes up, and then a full choir comes in and the sheet is lifted and suddenly, we see our patient as vibrant as he really is, singing into a microphone in a nice suit, surrounded by dancers. In a moment, the perception of the character changes because we see who he is inside, and who he used to be before this hospital setting where his body is failing him despite all the efforts to save it. He sings with enthusiasm, and the harmony is full and beautiful, and for just a moment, it’s possible to forget about the pain and illness and death that await you in the real world. I wish I could simply pull a sheet over my head and get to sing as fully as I used to one more time.
I hope i at least somewhat captured my feelings and how hard those few seconds hit me, and maybe have someone a new perspective to view this from :)
Hey Wryn. Thank you for sharing all of this with such honesty and vulnerability in the name of human connection. I want to let you know that you are not alone. I personally relate to what you've shared here and I hope others find solace in your words. The fact you are still thinking of others in your time of suffering speaks volumes to your character. I am wishing you the best and thank you again :)
You are such a beautiful writing, through your words I just know how talented you are, keep trying and keep fighting! ❤
the way he grips the surgeon’s arm comfortingly is so important to me
I love how you can hear the gospel music in the end. That’s the voice of powerful black women
1:33 oh wow, i never even noticed that the drum here sounds like a heartbeat until the dancer made that move with her hand, what an INCREDIBLE detail. i also really love that the music video for this song plays in a hospital/surgery setting because truly, i can't think of any other place where "just knowing that everything will end should not change our plans when we begin again" is more relevant.
That was a gut wrenching video. My hubby had open heart surgery last year. Everything was against him, but with the surgeon and his crew's amazing skill, and God's tender care my husband pulled thru. Some never wake up. That was what this film made me think of. God be with the bereaved and give them a semblance of peace. God bless you Hozier, your songs are always impactful. God bless everyone who reads this message. God loves you. Believe me, He genuinely does.
He's done it again!! I loved it all but the part where the choir joins in and the gowns of the medical team change into gospel ones is 👌🏾❤️
It was a fascinating choice and implies several things for the story... especially since the staff are no longer in the operating room and the body is still hooked up to the machines.
Didn't even notice at first
3:03 the switchup from the dancing to hozier laying on the table is so gut-wrenching. so beautiful. probably my favourite video from him
The part that's muffled when they show him on the bed?! so so so beautiful
The cross between the gospel choir outfit and the scrubs is such a beautiful detail
I saw him live, singing this recently, and the whole experience was healing. The love him and the band put in the songs really makes it magical. It sounds exactly the same.
Same here. Saw him on Tuesday night. It's always an experience and I'm grateful, that his music is around at the same time as me. My life would be so much poorer without it.
I think I would have the feeling of fall to my knees seeing this live. It's so perfect ! 🥹
I lost my mom to cancer almost five years ago and my worst fear is that I’ll forget how much it hurt to lose her. I never want to forget that I cared about her enough for her passing to completely break me to my core. I never want to forget that love like that not only exists, but also that I was privileged enough to have shared in it. Watching this reminded me of every emotion I felt the morning of her passing and, in a very backwards way, it was so beautiful to know that I still carry those feelings within me.
I know I'm just a stranger on the internet but I want you to know that you're not alone. I have had a similar experience, my mum passed about 6 years ago with cancer as well. It's impossible to forget that kind of pain, and of course, that kind of love. No one will ever understand it until they have experienced it themselves. I carry those feelings around with me always, all the time.
I haven't seen someone put into words what is so comforting about grieving a long lost loved one. Remembering them, how much you loved them, and how their loss felt is bitter sweet. It hurts but it feels like I'm closer when I think about it. Like I'm remembering what that love felt like, more than it's sudden loss.
I know I'm just another stranger on the Internet, but you don't forget it. My Mom passed away from cancer 17 years ago, and sometimes it still hits.
This album, song, video, is remarkably well done.
My mom passed away of Lupus 15 years ago. Your comment is very relatable. Grief, hurtful as it can be, is still a powerful reminder that love remains. ❤
I am a nurse who works in the OR, and this hurts. Everyone works so hard to do their best for a patient, but sometimes it’s not enough. We just don’t get the benefit of that private little exchange with the patient when it happens.
It’s a powerful story told by this video, which isn’t necessarily the message I first took when I heard it on the radio first. Props to everyone for putting together a remarkable video.
I feel a big undertone of whats happening now in the world, how desperate we are to save the earth and the people and animals that live here.
I lost my dad to Covid over a year ago, and this one really hit close to home. We sat with him for almost a half hour after taking him off the ventilator while he slowly suffocated, and he finally let go once we sang to him. I've been terrified of returning to that grief
'If there was anyone to ever make it through this life,
with their heart still intact, they didn't do it right'
The fact this came out the day my nan died is just so bittersweet 😪 thank you hozier
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤
Unreal Unearth is the one album I played relentlessly as I was lying in the hospital bed while losing my vision, aftery surgery, and during recovery. This song stuck out to me, describing everything I was feeling then, especially the "never watch my future darken in a single tear".
All this to say, I've forgotten abt the visuals of this MV and damn, what a coincidence, and watching it now, did it bring back that period. Thankfully I'm better now, in no small part thanks to the music that helped me through it.
This really humanizes Surgeon’s, Nurses, Doctors, Therapists etc When you try to save someone and you lose them-It hurts just as much. Sometimes people can get upset and blame the loss on them (some are to blame I know) So many different areas the message can be applied to-I love it.
you best believe i screamed so loud at the dichotomy between grief and hope that my father called me on the telephone to inform me that he was trying to sleep
This is the video that made me look up Hoziers height and holy hell 6’6 you’re craaazzyy
My first time listening to this I sobbed. I had not a reason to be crying. All Things End caused a rebirth of me, Hozier’s messages coupled with his voice pacifies my awakening thoughts.
THIS IS PURE ART
The scrubs to gowns, the flatlined patient to the main singer, the sudden shot of the dead patient in the empty dark room with the muffled music you can hear “upstairs” implicating the other setting is the afterlife???
It all adds so much more weight to the meaning behind the song
Ok but THAT CHOIR??????? MY MIND IS BLOWING UP WITH ALL GREAT THINGS OH GOD
I recently suffered a miscarriage, and this song hits me so hard every time. I can't listen to it without tears. "We didn't get it right, but love, we did our best." 😔💙
The reflection in the surgeon’s eye turning into a heart in the beginning of the video. Oh lord. Beautiful video.
I LOVE the subtle detail of the nurses' scrubs turning into gospel choir outfits in the "afterlife" @2:40 . It really drives the focus back to the voices at this point in the song. Hozier nails every single detail
Jillian Meyers choreography never disappoints. She can make the simplest of movements so powerful.
All things end. Whether you promise the person you love that you'll be with them forever it isn't true, because one day you will die or they will die. All things do truly end. The video really does justice to the lyrics and the overall meaning of the song
Hello fan
I’m a nurse and this hit so hard watching this after going through the pandemic and all kinds of experiences in the medical field. This felt like such a heartfelt tribute to the pain of not being able to help everyone. Sometimes the outcome is just bad, and you have to find a way to deal with it. I felt seen.
Also, forgot to add. Does anyone else get the insane urge to dance when everything has gone to shit? That also felt extremely accurate.
This song is such a love-hate relationship. I love it because it reminds me of someone but I hate it because it reminds me they aren't with me.
My cat passed away almost two years ago, and still every day I fruitlessly try to find comfort and sense in her passing. I always considered myself someone who loves and respects death. I still do, but, God. Grief is forever.
I really miss her. I’m alive, but I’m not living. Not without her.
This song got me praising the Lord
when my grandfather was admitted to remove cancerous tumours, everything that could go wrong went wrong.... one night, a whole flock of doctors and nurses tried to stabilise him as he cried out through fever and infection.. i had to stagger out of our room and just collapsed on the floor crying so hard my throat burst.
this is the kind of song i wish i could have listened to as i sat all alone on that hospital floor. but i'm grateful to even have it at all. i'm so glad you're back, mr. byrne.
2:40 chills, literal chills
2:53 the gown arms look like angel wings behind him. He's an angel
I’ve always told people that his music speaks to my life. I lost my brother and best friend a week before this song was released. He was a tough, young fire fighter who died of occupational brain cancer. There’s a void that will never be filled, but this song helped smooth the edges. Rest in peace, Mikey. ❤️
Thank you Mikey, for your life-saving work & incredible sacrifice.
Music is supposed to speak to people. It's a universal language. It transcends boundaries.
Ok my favorite thing about this is how the surgeon looks at her hands after the surgery. It really looks like she is blaming herself for what happened, but the first thing that came to my mind is that this is also how a surgeon carries their hands right before putting their gloves to start a surgery (because their hands are clean at that moment etc). To me this captures perfectly the meaning of the song- that even still shocked and in pain, you have to do it again
I ended up getting "All Things End" tattooed on my right wrist. After the first time I heard this, I thought about my daughter Amaya. She ended up having Anencephaly, where her skull never formed. I decided to deliver her around 16 weeks. I actually had to pull over and park just do bawl my eyes out the first time listening to this song. It means so much to me because she would want me to begin again. Even though it seems almost impossible.
@Hozier Official omg! Thank you for responding
The last time I felt your weight on my chest, you said
"We didn't get it right but, love, we did our best"
😢😢😢
This line got me like no other.
This is going to be the one of the best videos on this album
We need an hour long film of ‘All Things End’ where he played as a talented person but never reached his dream due to illnesses. But everything turned out better before he passed away….
This guy filled our chest with this huge bag of emotions..and now his heart is all empty...someone put the emotions back there😭😭😭😭😭😭
My mom passed from cancer a few years ago, gospel music playing in the background. I’ve been listening to this song non stop and paired with the video it’s both made the grief hit again and comforted at the same time. Hozier does so well at making music that makes people feel
what a lovely bittersweet song ❤
This dude is gonna mess around and actually drop the best album of the year...
I'm sitting in a hospital bed right now and i started crying i loved this, i have found THAT song. You know the song. The song that they will play for you at your wake or funeral/remembrance.❤thank you❤😷🏥👩⚕️
Wow, that's intense! And I agree, when I write a will, this song will go into it.
Sending you love as you prepare for the next phase of existence. You’ve got this. The arms of the Universe are waiting for you to return Home…
Hozier is different 🥹 his music is so beautiful
Hozier never misses for me. His lyrics, visuals, tones are incredible every time. I love all the different ways his music can be interpreted. Romantic, sorrowful, comforting, spiritual- so amazing and why he has been my number one favorite since Take Me to Church. No one else does it like Hozier. Beautiful music video as always- made me think of so many people I have said goodbye to because of death or just simply parting ways.
Hello fan
i wanted to say thank you to hozier for his work, when my bipolar gets to the worst his songs are always there to catch me and cheer me up. Big thank you!
I loved the song when I heard it first. A few weeks passed, and I hadn't played it again. YT suggested the video, and I clicked in instinctively. I was awestruck till the end.
I am crying over how beautiful this is. The amount of detail is outstanding. Thank you.
As someone who is still reeling, hurting, and grieving after an unexpected end… these lyrics, this song, this album is just good medicine 🙏”We didn’t get it right, but love we did our best… and all things end”. So Don’t be Afraid, Open Up and Get Close Again 💗
Crowley is that u?
I am so glad Hozier is getting so much love for his beautiful lyrics and melodies, I decided 10+ years ago ‘Work Song’ would be my wedding song, I’m getting married next year and still feel that way but now I just have more competition for that spot from this album release. I skipped this one on my first go round and falling in love with the romanticized songs, but holy moly this video and the message, seeing him laying cold coming from the glance that I feel is coming from inside his mind, the meaning of the words and just him being alone after death just was so emotionally jarring.
so many doctors and nurses went through hell these last couple years…this video feels like it’s for them. i’m sobbing. ❤️
this song found me the night before i got the news that my bf's little sister died in her sleep days before her graduation. bought her a dress for her bday too and it was supposed to arrive 3 days later. she was the best little sister i never had. she was also always misunderstood by her family so the only support system she had was me and my boyfriend. i still cant accept the fact that i will no longer be able to see her again. life is fleeting, im glad i was able to be a part of your life, ann.
So sorry for your loss
I was expecting to cry from the video since the song always makes me get a little weepy, but damn! 😭 The way he grabbed her arm right before and the look in her eyes. 💔 This was beautiful representation of the emotional rollercoaster of being a health care worker.
As an ICU provider, using something as emotional as an unsuccessful code speaks volumes. This happens daily in our ICUs and it definitely takes a toll, but the lyrics saying that we have to push through and continue our work… speechless!
Not to takeaway from the beauty of the song but can we talk about how amazing he looks in that suit?! Wow. Yet another masterpiece from the fae king of the forest himself.
In the opening, as he’s zoomed into the lead surgeon’s eye, the lights form a heart. I don’t know if it’s deliberate but Hozier’s is the type of calm I need.
Watching from Guyana ❤
