when will hozier appear in a misty forest to lure me away with enchanting music and the promise of eternity
im peeing at this comment, this is my dream
@@christinelee2535 i live to serve
Hahaha
*ascends
i dont know but when he does can you please let me tag along
I love that in Nina Cried Power he says "Mavis CRIES power" cause she's still out here crying power. The attention to detail this man has...
Could you please explain this to me? Who is Mavis? And Nina?
@@isisalves1953 Mavis Staples is a famous singer, as was Nina Simone. Hozier names these people because he believes they all sang/wrote songs in support of those who were oppressed. Mavis Staples is on the full version of the song.
@@isisalves1953 Mavis Staples is the singer he recorded this song with originally, she's a black rights activist and she is alive. Nina is Nina Simone, this song is inspired by her, also a black rights activist and unfortunately now dead. The other people he cites in the song are all activists
When this Pandemic is over I will see this man in concert period
YES. I will too!
He was hand down the best concert I've ever been to. I would see him live every opportunity I get. The light production at his show was amazing too.
@@pounds1212 yes! totally agree!!!!! my fave concert i’ve ever been to, he’s brilliant live !!!
Last time and first time he toured the US I was extremely pregnant and couldn't go 😭 There will be a redo!
OMG you SO need to. He's insane to see in concert!!!! Like it's almost a religious experience.
This man's voice will have a hold on me for the rest of my life.
I love how he changes up the way he sings every song each time he sings live. It really makes you remember that these are *his* songs. There is no "wrong" way for him to sing them. Because he's Hozier.
I love the way he do this but how I wish he sing would that I like he did in the studio
then listen to the studio recording. @@tuesdayvalentine7325
You are just so right. I guess that's why I never get tired of watching every UTube clip of his, even if it is of the same song. Because no matter how many times he sings it, it always has a different feel. I think it is important to be able to retain a freshness in the approach on his part so that not only does the song not feel repetitive for us fans but for him as an artist as well. Or else even he himself will get tired of singing it.
I mean, like he has been singing Take Me To Church live for nearly ten years now, but I still enjoy every rendition of it. Sometimes, there is more a defiance in the way he sings it. Other times, there is a feel of melancholy in it. I think this gives kudos to the kind of artist he is, so musically talented and really professional. And has a real respect and earnest dedication to his craft. He can only get better and better. Can't wait to see what he is able to achieve next in his musical career.
How do the clapping/snapping backup singers keep time? Unbelievable and beautiful. Artists.
They practice to Steve Reich.
They most likely have some of the voice as well as they all probably have a click track (metronome) in their headphones for the whole song similar to a stage performance
Suzanne Santo on the right is amazing. Check her out - Honey Honey Band.
He made this video to show the beat of the clapping if you wanna clap along :) ua-cam.com/video/Wk1Qi8hh3RI/v-deo.html
I visited his concert in 2019 - since then - I hope to get a chance to hear and see him live again!=)
god his voice and music is so beautiful, if i heard it in the distance i'd follow it through the forest for sure
This f*cking comment sent me on a journey through time
I was walking up to my festival and I heard his music through all of the other stages. I didn’t even know all of his music yet but I ran. I knew I was missing something important. I’ll never see a performer like him again. His voice doesn’t change from his album to person. I think his live voice is better. Everyone came to hozier and it was a hip hop festival. He’s different.
Ți-e-ți merge twitter?
I’m struggling to remember anyone who sings better than Hozier...
you'll be struggling for a while
I became a Dermot Kennedy fan first, I know they're both talented, I am now one of the admins of Hozier Group in Facebook so there's that.
not sure if better but i recommend you Tamino (look for his tiny desk)
Beautiful voice.
Stop it right there... You know this person doesn’t exist! He is magnificent.
He has one of those voices that no one else has in the world. Also an amazing songwriter and musician, sorrounded by really talented people as well. It would be amazing to see this man on a live concert
Him and the singer of the lumineers have an in-ate ability to make me cry lol
Check out James Blake - Retrograde
Was lucky enough to see him in Atlanta about 4 years ago. It was probably the greatest experience of my life haha
I saw him live. I think it was the best gig I’ve been at ever if not in the top three
A dream.
I could listen to him sing the humours of whiskey on repeat for literal hours. Wow
I had a mild fever before watching this and as the video ended I am sweating and the temperature's gone. I'm not saying Hozier is a fae but I'm not saying he's not.
I am not embarrassed to say I watch this at least 3 times a week

I want to be with him when the world ends.
Hats off to the mixing engineer, this sounds amazing!
Right? I specifically wanted this version of movement but couldn't remember which video it was, so I just listened to two other live versions, and this ones is just so much cleaner and full bodied then the others
He understands music in a way that I don't think most popular artist do. He uses chord procession and lyrics to his advantage to get his point across. His instrumentals are all beautiful and all of his lyrics make you feel at least some way .
Worst thing is that he's underrated. American award shows aren't trustworthy.
In an age of vapid lyrics and songs written by committees of 5-9 songwriters who end up copying songs from the 70's THIS. THIS is what songs are ABOUT. Songs are about raw emotion. POWER! I so LOVE hearing a song that gives me chills and must be listened to over and over again to find the subtle details and sparkling gems of phrases and musical movements from minor to major and back again... I feel hope again. Thank you.
I want a full cover of Humors of Whiskey from him-- That was almost spiritual
He looks so tired here, and still sounds so absolutely beautiful.
I agree he looks so burnt out on his songs and honestly I get it. I hope he's okay
Nina Cried Power was fresh tho
That vocal control in The Humours of Whiskey. Oh, my.
This version of "Nina Cried Power" gives the song new life.
The Humours of Whiskey
Come guess me this riddle, what beats pipe and fiddle
What's hotter than mustard and milder than cream
What best wets your whistle, what's clearer than crystal
Sweeter than honey and stronger than steam
What can make the dumb talk, what can make the lame walk
What's the elixir of life and philosopher's stone
And what helped Mr. Brunel to dig the Thames Tunnel
Sure wasn't it whiskey from old Inishowen
So we'll stick to the crater the bеst thing in nature
For sinkin' your sorrows and raisin' your joys
And boys I half wonder if lighting and thunder
Was madе from the plunder of whiskey me boys
Just want an album of him doing Irish Folk songs not gonna lie, also yes to seeing him concert. I need that
thanks for compiling this just in time for my midterm-induced mental breakdown. this will be on repeat for the next four weeks
The fact that the last show I saw live was his before the pandemic hit makes me happy ❤️
"Nina cried power".... I literally had to stop what I was doing to just listen to and take in that song... wow.
I still watch you when you're groovin'
As if through water from the bottom of a pool
You're movin' without movin'
And when you move, I'm moved
You are a call to motion
There, all of you a verb in perfect view
Like Jonah on the ocean
When you move, I'm moved
When you move
I'm put to mind of all that I wanna be
When you move
I could never define all that you are to me
So move me, baby
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
You do it naturally
Move me, baby
You are the rite of movement
Its reasonin' made lucid and cool
I know it's no improvement
When you move, I move
You're less Polunin leapin'
Or Fred Astaire in sequins
Honey, you, you're Atlas in his sleepin'
And when you move, I'm moved
When you move
I can recall somethin' that's gone from me
When you move
Honey, I'm put in awe of somethin' so flawed and free
So move me, baby
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
You do it naturally
Move me, baby
So move me, baby
Like you've nothin' left to prove
And nothin' to lose
Move me, baby
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh baby, oh baby
Move like grey skies
Move like a bird of paradise
Move like an odd sight come out at night
Move me, baby
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
You do it naturally
Move me, baby
So move me, baby
Like you've nothin' left to lose
And nothin' to prove
Move me, baby
So move me, baby
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
You do it naturally
Move me, baby
I wish I could hug him, i really do
Nina Cried Power
[Verse 1: Hozier]
It's not the waking, it's the rising
It is the grounding of a foot uncompromising
It's not forgoing of the lie
It's not the opening of eyes
It's not the waking, it's the rising
It's not the shade, we should be past it
It's the light, and it's the obstacle that casts it
It's the heat that drives the light
It's the fire it ignites
It's not the waking, it's the rising
It's not the song, it is the singing
It's the heaven of a human spirit ringing
It is the bringing of the line
It is the bearing of the rhyme
It's not the waking, it's the rising
[Chorus: Hozier & Mavis Staples]
And I could cry power (Power), power (Power)
Power, Lord
Nina cried power
Billie cried power
Mavis cried power
And I could cry (Power) power, (Power) power
Hey, power
Curtis cried power
Patti cried power
Nina cried power
[Verse 2: Hozier]
It's not the wall, but what's behind it
Oh, the fear of fellow man, it's mere assignment
And everything that we're denied
By keeping the divide
It's not the waking, it's the rising
[Chorus: Hozier & Mavis Staples]
And I could cry power (Power), power (Power)
Oh, power
Nina cried power
Lennon cried power
James Brown cried power
And I could cry (Power) power, (Power) power
Hey, power
B.B. cried power
Joni cried power
Nina cried power
[Bridge: Mavis Staples]
And I could cry power
Power has been cried by those stronger than me
Straight into the face that tells you to
Rattle your chains if you love being free
[Chorus: Hozier & Mavis Staples]
But I could cry power (Power)
'Cause power is my love when my love reaches to me
James Brown cried power
Seeger cried power
Marvin cried power
Yeah ah, power
James cried power
Lennon cried power
Patti cried power
Billie, power
Dylan, power
Woody, power
Nina cried power
Movement
[Verse 1]
I still watch you when you're groovin'
As if through water from the bottom of a pool
You're movin' without movin'
And when you move, I'm moved
You are a call to motion
There, all of you a verb in perfect view
Like Jonah on the ocean
When you move, I'm moved
[Pre-Chorus]
When you move
I'm put to mind of all that I wanna be
When you move
I could never define all that you are to me
[Chorus]
So move me, baby
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
You do it naturally
Move me, baby
[Verse 2]
You are the rite of movement
Its reasonin' made lucid and cool
I know it's no improvement
When you move, I move
You're S. Polunin leapin'
Or Fred Astaire in sequence
Honey, you, you're Atlas in his sleepin'
And when you move, I'm moved
[Pre-Chorus]
When you move
I can recall somethin' that's gone from me
When you move
Honey, I'm put in awe of somethin' so flawed and free
[Chorus]
So move me, baby
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
You do it naturally
Move me, baby
So move me, baby
Like you've nothin' left to prove
And nothin' to lose
Move me, baby
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh baby, oh baby
Move like grey skies
Move like a bird of paradise
Move like an odd sight come out at night
[Chorus]
Move me, baby
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
You do it naturally
Move me, baby
So move me, baby
Like you've nothin' left to lose
And nothin' to prove
Move me, baby
So move me, baby
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
You do it naturally
Move me, baby
I wish he sung the entire Humors of Whiskey. There's 4.5 minutes he skipped. 😂
Hozier is a Genius, I'm wondering what will come next on his career cause what he has so far is gold.
I love the expression of artists that hear their feelings in sound. Just the rhythm of the live clap makes me happy. The bells make me sentimental. He’s brilliant! ~Sheeara, Alaska
listening to this to calm down before my LSAT. Wish me luck!!
I love Hozier, it is beautiful to watch his group. His music is very interesting, a very enjoyable presence and music and lyrics are fabulous...
This is becoming part of my morning ritual. Powerful sounds.
Fantastic, like everything this man sings. Suzanne Santosuosso, singing while you play the violin can't be easy! It's not exactly the most comfortable position to breathe! And yet you do them both so well!
goodness gracious the harmonies are so good!
Almost (Sweet Music)
[Verse 1]
I came in from the outside, burned out from a joy ride
She likes to roll here in my ashes anyway
Played from the bedside is "Stella by Starlight"
That was my heart, the drums that start off "Night and Day"
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The same kind of music haunts her bedroom
I'm almost me again, she's almost you
[Chorus]
I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still, my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me
I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still, my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me
[Verse 2]
Tell me who, and I'll be thanking them
The numbered lovers of Duke Ellington
Do I owe each kiss to lip and cheek as soft as Chet can sing
Let's get lost and let the good times roll
Let smoke rings from this paper doll
Blow sweet and thick 'til every thought of it don't mean a thing
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I got some colour back, she thinks so, too
I laugh like me again, she laughs like you
[Chorus]
I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still, my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me
I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still, my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me
[Bridge]
I wouldn't know where
I wouldn't know where
I wouldn't know where, I wouldn't know where
I wouldn't, mmm
I wouldn't know where
I wouldn't know where
I wouldn't know where, I wouldn't know where
I wouldn't know
[Verse 3]
The very thought of you and am I blue?
A love supreme seems far removed
I get along without you very well some other nights
Oh, the radio news reader chimes
Reporting Russian lullabies
She'll turn to me awake and ask, "Is everything alright?"
And, Lord
[Chorus]
I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still, my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me
I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark
Be still, my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me
I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark (I wouldn't know where)
Be still, my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me
I wouldn't know where to start
Sweet music playing in the dark (I wouldn't know where)
Be still, my foolish heart
Don't ruin this on me
I just watch this and then watch it again. I think I will watch it again now. And then maybe again, again.
He sings with his heart. Such a beautiful voice and a very gifted artist.
I love the original recordings of all his songs most, but I do love that he switches things up every time he performs things. I get the sense that he gets bored singing the same thing over and over!
Not only saved the world from this pandemic with your music but my mental health. I love you beyond words Andrew Hozier.
This is so beautiful. I've probably watched this 20 times and I keep hearing new sounds cause I see them in the video. so cool
Thank you God for beautiful music that not only warms, but moves the souls, of those who comprehend it, and the artists who create it it.
I love the soul put into those claps, well done
Why doesn't this man's charisma match his incredible talent and insanely sexy voice? look at him. It's like he's almost apologetic. Man.. Hozier, TAKE IT!
He is not blinded by ego
Irish people are humble
@@LS-fe4ob 💚
Irish no ego
makes me smile how into the music the band is while they play, you can tell how much they're enjoying themselves!!
That warmed my Irish heart beyond belief!❤🍀
