    "Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine". Isis the Egyptian goddess worshipped for being the ideal wife and mother. This man knows his classic literature.

      I also wonder if maybe he is referencing Bob Dylan's song Isis, which is kinda equally whimsical and weird.
      "Isis, oh, Isis, you mystical child
      What drives me to you is what drives me insane..."

      So he didn't 'feel' young when he was young

      @valley339 2 роки тому +26

      @@kevinp9110 It's very tied to a myth involving Isis and her husband while being very much about ideals. I would interpret it as a short term relationship that ended abruptly. There's the whole idealisation of the relationship "She's gonna save me/call me baby" and then towards the end of the song that quick cut where she seems to vanish. It's all up to how people personally see it so there is no one story behind it, that's what makes poetry and music beautiful. It makes everyone feel different things and gives everyone an insight into themselves because of how they interpret it.

    So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes
    No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight
    So deep in the swirl with the most familiar swine
    For reasons wretched and divine
    She blows out of nowhere, roman candle of the wild
    Laughing away through my feeble disguise
    No other version of me I would rather to be tonight
    Lord she found me just in time
    'Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
    I need to be youthfully felt, 'cause God I never felt young

      Are you naming them Jackie and Wilson because you like this song or because you like the man, Jackie Wilson, that this song was written for?...

    • @deadlaika9966
      @deadlaika9966 9 років тому

      ndakotagurl i feel like with other songs called cherry wine and his cover of sweet thing this could be as much a reference to van morrison as jackie wilson ha though i dont know the guy. the chord progression is the same as a riff from the van morrison song astral weeks too. and like real people do could be a reference to like young lovers do. i dont know im im just seeing too many coincidences or real references.

    • @ndakotagurl
      @ndakotagurl 9 років тому +10

      josh gainsboro I can see what you're saying, but if you Google 'Hozier Jackie Wilson' you'll come across an interview where speaking of Jackie Wilson, Hozier says "He's a big influence for me, he's fantastic. I think Elvis was the white Jackie Wilson, rather than any other way 'round." He doesn't touch on any Van Morrison references, not to say they're not there, but he specifically talks about Jackie Wilson...

    • @deadlaika9966
      @deadlaika9966 9 років тому

      ndakotagurl ha yeah i get you. i do think the sweet thing cover is a reference though. Either he likes the song off the best hits of van or he likes the album astral weeks. if he does like that album he would definitely atleast retrospectively see that like real people do is a very similar title to a song on that album and cherry wine is quite a salient image in that album and that this riff is pretty much the same chords as in sweet thing which you could see in his cover around 1:30. especially as all those references are from the same album. i also think as a young soulful irish singer theres probably a good reason to not mention van morrison much in the media. could be just happy coincidence though.

    I personally like the way he doesn't look like he's 'into it'. It just makes me love him more. I know he's a bit of a quieter, awkward person so I feel like that contributes. But as a singer, it amazes me that he can reach all those notes so effortlessly, unlike me who has to make a stupid face. He definitely has the singing technique down, doesn't need help there :) he makes BEAUTIFUL music, cannot complain.

    No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight.
    So deep in this swill with the most familiar of swine
    For reasons wretched and divine.
    She blows outta nowhere, roman candle of the wild
    Laughing away through my feeble disguise
    No other version of me I would rather be tonight.
    And, Lord, she found me just in time
    'Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
    I need to be youthfully felt 'cause, God, I never felt young
    She's gonna save me,

She had a long term boyfriend and wanted to settle down and get married and have kids and stay a house wife. She was telling me this while visiting. She played this song and told me it was her favorite, and how she wanted to name her kids Jackie & Wilson. She left back to her home town. We talked on the phone a few times after that. She passed away a few months later. I miss her, so much. I think about her everyday. It’s been nearly two years now and I still listen to this song and think about that last car ride we had together.

    He sounds even better live than he does on his album. Raw talent, through and through.

    This man is a gift and so very rare. He's has the most beautiful singing and song writing talent where he can turn any message into an interesting song, comes across as a lovely man in all his interviews and is also really gorgeous

    Saw him in Seattle last night. OH MY GOD he's wonderful! Still playing the little venues because the gigs were made before everyone discovered how absolutely fantastic he, the songs, the band, everyone is. He's coming back to much bigger venues in spring. Drop EVERYTHING and go!

    I love him because his songs actually have meaning- unlike the cheesy pop music these days. It really sucks how many artists don't focus on the lyrics in music and actually being able to preform the song- if it weren't for Hozier I would have lost my faith in all humanity.

    I find it amazing how I can relate to every single song on his album. The lyrics hit me every time! So beautiful
