Lyrics:
I’m starving, Darling
Let me put my lips to something
Let me wrap my teeth around the world
Start carving, Darling
I want to smell the dinner cooking
I want to feel the edges start to burn
Honey, I
Want to race you to the table
If you hesitate
The getting is gone
I won’t lie
If there’s something to be gained
There’s money to be made
Whatever's still to come
Get some
Pull up the ladder when the flood comes
Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
Seven new ways that you can eat your young
Come and get some
Skinning the children for a war-drum
Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns;
It's quicker and easier to eat your young
You can’t buy this fineness
Let me see the heat get to it
Let me watch the dressing start to peel
It’s a kindness, Highness
Crumbs enough for everyone
Old and young are welcome to the meal
Honey, I'm
Making sure the table’s made
We can celebrate
The good that we’ve done
I won’t lie
If there’s something still to take
There is ground to break
Whatever's still to come
Get some
Pull up the ladder when the flood comes
Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
Seven new ways that you can eat your young
Come and get some
Skinning the children for a war-drum
Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns;
It's quicker and easier to eat your young

#Hozier #EatYourYoung
I love how they depicted that the war 'ate' his hand and how his anger at her 'ate' her emotions and how they 'ate' the child by forcing him to be something else. Hozier has such a nuanced way of depicting a vicious cycle that society forces us into.
True
Yass they really are that, left no crumps!🤩🤩🤩 Slayyy💅💅💅💅✨
What does the fishhook stand for? I never could quite get that
True❤
This!
It always amazes me how Hozier's songs become even more alive and real through their music videos. When I think a song can't get any better, a music video comes out for it and proves me wrong. Truly powerful. I love it.
And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee. Deuteronomy 28:53
What do you mean their? His*
@@conoreccleston-jy1kq i think they're referring to the song itself
Same with dinner and diatribes!!
This song is so basic. Disappointing compared to past albums. Melody predictable. And lame guitar playing for a good guitarist.
wow. the husband leaving for war, the mother turning to stone, the anger that grew in the child from being guided away from true interests and towards traditional masculinity. showing him in a worker uniform before he was gone. the tantalizing glimpse of something red in that little fridge which sent the children scattering away from the puppet show. nice job, everyone involved!
i didnt get what was in the little fridge? 😅
@@thaliar9093 it looked like blood, but it also was the kids hand who opened the fridge. and don't forget the meat hook behind them at the end. when the kid was send away. it looked like the kid was killed off, because of the title 'eat your young' and the various parts in the song using them for war or something else.
Repent. Believe in Jesus Christ and become a new person in this life.
John 3:16 KJV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Matthew 4:17 KJV From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV - Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

DONT HAVE ANY YOUNG. Then you won't be tempted to eat them.
I love him but he is just wrong politically on this one. The amazing and false propaganda.

Quick analysis because I love Hozier's art and this vidoe is just great. About the performance, it starts from the guy and the girl meeting and falling in love. they then proceed to unveil each other's wardrobe. or 'costumes.' focus on how they themselves don't choose the costumes, its the other, this can refer to the expectations we put on the other person regarding their mesculinity/femininity. the way this is choreographed and runs smooth can show that we most often let others, even if it may be our partner define or limit our masculinity/femininity, like it is expected of them.
Hozier's costumes get him into the role of the someone who is more hands-on with their work. like a typical male they are also only work attires (enforcing man as main breadwinner of the family) while for the lady she's wearing what may be a nurse uniform or a chef or just in a dress (role of a housewife) which shows her role as the nurturing female.
Hozier, dressed as a solider goes off to war, again something which may be expected of him. The couple part and the woman is starts to beautify herself by painting herself as aphrodite. (the statue in front of her). this is enforcing traditional masculine/feminine roles on them again and again.
Hozier comes back with an arm missing and when his lover greets him his reaction is not the most welcoming. This could be the aftermath of the war. this could be just his envy that while she was at home he had to go out and he gave a part of himself too. (point is, he's not happy)
Venus de Milo (the statue on the table) doesn't have arms, the woman looks at her and then she's seen removing her arms too (not sure how THIS worked. did she cut them?) it could metaphorically show her attempts and efforts to become a 'perfect' female. or just one who was the most beautiful. This could also show (and this is only my interpretation) her response to her husband losing his arm. to maybe sympathise with him. to swooping down to meet him (can this reflect on her trying not to hurt the male ego? i dont know.) But she does meet him, it's shown in the performance that the kids are watching when her arms goes to touch his.
hozier then, will embrace his lover and show affection (interesting tangent on how he won't show affection when she was in a better 'place' than him and now that she isn't and now that she has embodied aphrodite fully (i.e. reached peaks of femininity idk?) he's then comfortable to show love.
cue: child, who is revealed by the woman. and when hozier the father) goes to meet him the exchange is not the most warm. The father only shakes the little boy's hand and almost is looking down at him. this is not the interaction between a boy and his father. the father is wholly treating it as meeting another man. an adult.
and when toys are revealed to the boy and he goes for the doll before anything else the father gets mad. he snatches it and throw it away. he's teaching his son how to be a 'man' (cue: toxic masculinity) the boy grows violent and starts smashing all the toys (because he wasn't allowed to express himself fully) while the mother does nothing until grabbing the boy's arm and putting the cloth over it. same arm his father also lost. this could show how both the parents are enforcing these roles and expectations on the boy while he's really too young to understand or retaliate.
(the lyrics, seven new ways that you can eat your young, fits so well because this sis showing how youth gets destroyed. how trampling on their individual egos and personas while trying to make this cliche traditional story for yourself and imposing it on other only will eat away at your young.)
the father unveils the costumes of the young boy then. which are all similar to the ones hozier was wearing at the start. the boy has been molded into this shape created by his parents and the society. thank you for coming to my tedtalk.
Beautifully explained, I reached similar conclusions and this helps put it to words
I love your comment
This is so well put, Thank you so much!
I am still shook, having watched the Video twice in a row and now scrolling through the comments looking for something to hold on to... Its so emotional...
Love this!!! Maybe the lose of an arm can be interpreted as a symbol of trauma - first, the father gets traumatized in war, then the mother, and then it eventually passes down to the child?
In addition, I think its worth noting that the woman is turning herself into a statue. When he kisses her she’s perefctly motionless, not even her eyes move - she’s only accepted by the man once she’s fully turned herself into an object to be admired and nothing else.
I love that even when the curtain falls, the child is not included in the final bows, as if his destruction, or consumption as the title/fridge/hook suggests, is a real-life consequence of the play.
Incredible work as always 🤍 I can’t wait to see what else Hozier has in store for us.
Mayhaps this is why the children scattered when the fridge opened.
They knew that -- when the play is performed again, as it always is -- one of them will be next.
I... words escape me. He has raised the bar so high for himself after this. I feel I'll need to watch this about 8 more times to peel all the layers. It's so beautiful. It's so good. I'm so happy he wasn't afraid of doing something different. This is why he keeps me hooked (no pun intended).
Can you explain it like I'm 5? I didn't really understand the video

So many things to love about AHB. For me, this isn’t one. Lived through the pandemic, through years of crazy politics, too much gun violence. I know the world is a mess. I need light, inspiration, optimism, not a journey through the circles of hell. Apologies to one of my favorite musicians.
@@EveLyn-jm4zq I understand it, particularly from his interview comments, that it’s a reflection on how we are destroying the world for future generations with climate change, endless war. Greed, and policies that are bankrupting us on every level; he’s saying might as well just eat your young; it would be quicker.
As a songwriter and poet myself, I find it hard to express my emotions as clearly and creatively as this beautiful man. His work really highlights parts of the human experience I think we all at some point or another experience and it not only exceeds my expectations, but raises them to a level I feel no other artist has ever reached. Bravo.
Hozier is talent personified.

I feel like I haven't even begun to understand it, but I love the way the kids and adults have such different reactions when they're pretty much watching different versions of the same show. I think I'll just keep watching it.
Edit: Monsieur Dorgat has a great analysis in the replies
lol nothing wrong with that. I think some general pointers that I could glean:
- The couple go through short and superficial courtship and present each other with their roles. They play these rolls, but one man's role is to go to war. They perform these rolls for the audience, representing society.
- While the man is at war, the woman becomes obsessed with unrealistic/unhealthy beauty. She tries to become like the statue she idolizes. When the man returns from war, his trauma stops them from connecting and she completes her transformation into stone, physically and emotionally.
- The man comes back from war with one arm on the other stage - the one that raises the children. He's already changed the lives of some children. When the woman becomes stone, she also puts her hand into that stage. Together, they play sanitized and caricatured versions of their roles for the children to idolize them.
- When the two materialize their own child, they try to reinforce the roles they've internalized on the child, but the child doesn't want to and rebels. When the child's hand is forced into the puppet stage, he mocks and tears things down like he did the toys he was supposed to play with. He exposes their puppets for the violent and ugly life they truly have, showing their fights and he ultimately deposes them on the stage of the next generation.
- The couple double down, and force the boy into the same rolls the man took. This is no longer a puppet show. They cover the boy with a blanket, and he disappears. The crowd cheers at the "successful child raised into the workforce", but the set behind the couple falls apart and exposes the dirty meat hook. The puppet stage now has a fridge, within which is implied the boy's flesh as meat, and they run. Apparent to all but the couple that raised him, the boy was slaughtered for the sake of adult society and his body fed to the next generation. The next generation is horrified, and wants nothing to do with what adult society is lauding. It could alternatively be implied that the boy's last effort was to expose to the next generation what happened to him.
- Overall, it fits the theme of the song that our society is built on the sacrifice of the next generation for the selfish desires of the older generation's society. While it's supposed to be self-perpetuating, the younger generation is starting to see the cracks and dissociate from the violent and cruel world their parents try to sustain.
@@monsieurdorgat6864 incredible work analysing the video! It was really helpful, and I think you should post this interpretation as a separate comment so more people could see it.
@@monsieurdorgat6864 that seems like a great analysis, you should definitely post it so it's not hidden under mine!
@@monsieurdorgat6864 Wonderful analysis!!!
The key is the lyric:
"Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns;
It's quicker and easier to eat your young"
In our current society we do tons of short sited things that we do in the name of 'protecting our families' but really we are just building war machines, contributing to climate change, and deplete resources. We are giving our children shiny christmas presents but stealing from them in the future. The video show the violence inflicted on the next generation as 'eating the young'
I often find myself wondering how this man could ever come close to the bar that he’s set for himself and yet he somehow continues to raise it every single time he releases Absolute work of art

Boom, the accuracy. Underrated comment.
The fact that he chose Ivanna as a co-star for this M/V makes it so much more meaningful and important to me as a ukrainian fan. Hozier is just so considerate and always pays attention to the details. True artist 👏

You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the "Russian Revolution." It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators."

Did you notice how the children and the adults were not watching the same show?

Gorgeous on every level. It might be a weird compliment but a) I really appreciate how Hozier chooses such interesting video concepts AND appears in them himself, and b) he’s clearly gotten more comfortable with filmed appearances and choreography! What do I call that, parasocial pride?
wow... a cinematic masterpiece which needs multiple watches to unpack all the levels of meanings. the woman turning herself into sculpture to resemble an injured husband is such an accurate depiction of what survival syndrome feels like. love from Ukraine ❤ (and Ivanna Sakhno, a Ukrainian actress, is incredible here)
UPD: love how at the beginning when the couple picks their costumes they start with the wardrobe of the opposite gender, and later their son goes for a doll first when he gets to pick up toys... as if deep down the parents would like to break the traditional roles imposed by society, but it's so deep already that they subconsciously accommodate to them, and then force the boy to accommodate
i never thought about it like that! thanks
I noticed that they started at the opposite wardrobes. So interesting. Everything had symbolism
A woman is an adult female human. Prior to adulthood, a female human is referred to as a girl (a female child or adolescent). Denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of gametes (ova) which can be fertilized by male gametes. Women inherit a pair of X chromosomes from their parents, and are capable of pregnancy and giving birth from puberty until menopause. More generally, sex differentiation of the female fetus is governed by the lack of a present, or functioning, SRY-gene on either one of the respective sex chromosomes. Female anatomy is distinguished from male anatomy by the female reproductive system, which includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva. The adult female pelvis is wider, the hips broader, and the breasts larger than that of adult males. Women have significantly less facial and other body hair, have a higher body fat composition, and are on average shorter and less muscular than men.
A man is an adult male human.
Prior to adulthood, a male human is referred to as a boy (a male child or adolescent).
Like most other male mammals, a man's genome inherits an X chromosome from the mother and a Y chromosome from the father. Sex differentiation of the male fetus is governed by the SRY gene on the Y chromosome. During puberty, hormones which stimulate androgen production result in the development of secondary sexual characteristics, thus exhibiting greater differences between the sexes. These include greater muscle mass, the growth of facial hair and a lower body fat composition.,,,..., .

@Pattern Recon oooook, so is this a bot or a psychopath who thinks Trans people believe they are biologically the opposite gender. That's not even the talking point here.
I'm so grateful to be living at a time where I can see and listen to masterpieces such as this
The song and video both are so perfect with their story telling. This is truly what arts ought to be
This was a work of art. Criticisms of hypermasculinity, war, feminine anger and validation, heteronormativity, ans childhood resistance or succumbing to the past. The community approval vs the kids understanding from so young that its Bad. Its so beautiful.
I love the fishhook at the end of the video. It shows that when the children finally get up to go watch the play on the other side of the room, they are not being tricked into it, but rather, they voluntarily are seeing the play that displays bloodshed and suffering, just like how if a fish were to bite onto a fishhook without a worm, the fish wouldn't be being tricked into latching onto a hook where it will inevitably die, it chose to go that path. I feel like this is all a symbol for the fact that war is so glorified throughout childhood, that the cycle is going to happen and happen. We are shown pieces of war and pain in ways that seem appealing to us as children, just so we see war in a good light and further continue the cycle.

i LOVE how arthouse and abstract this is. it fits so well, it reflects the tone of the song perfectly
I find the themes of this song to be so interesting, especially in how it’s also reflected in its reception as it was released. The song talks about exploitation of one generation by another “skinning children for a war drum, putting food on the table selling bombs and guns.” While at the same times makes it sound so alluring, and the song was released in a way to emulate that theme. Hozier release the opening line and made it sound like some sexy, sultry song of desire, only to have the true message of the song sink in after everyone was lured into the sensuality of it.
As for me personally, when I heard the teased release of the opening lyrics, I did pick up on the sexuality tone of the verse, but felt there was more to it. Since hearing the full song now I understand what I heard. It is has the sexuality of a pack of lions circling a trapped gazelle. It is about the sexuality of predation.
Spot on, nice, man.

Hozier never fails to make incredible art with his videos. I love the juxtaposed macabre here - the music itself and the puppet show against the lyrics and content. The innocence boy dressed the same as his wounded father. Really emphasizes how much evil is done up pretty in the world.

I think the song is about how toxic parents destroy [eat] your childhood [young] and leave their toxic tendencies with you as child and you grow up with those tendencies as a part of yourself
wars are truly awful and take away any normality in life, changes personalities

What a beautiful punch in the gut! Hozier is so good at delighting ears and opening eyes at the same time.
Beautiful and haunting expresions of how our inner loving childlike selves are eaten away by trauma and revisited upon our own expectations and treatment of the next generation as we feed their future life to the holes in our own souls as the world watches. Brilliant modern twisted Johnathan Swift-like take on the post-modern predicament. Bravo, maestro.
this has got to be one of the most unhinged videos i’ve ever watched and I LOVE IT😩❤️❤️
I'm officially obsessed with this song! 💖

I've been obsessively replaying this song ever since it came out. This video made me tear up. I can't really describe it or give an in-depth analysis but there was so much emotion, beauty, and storytelling in this. Love this so much!
to me, it feels like parents ruining their children's lives with what they want rather than what the children want. thus, "eat our young". I go through it personally. anyone else who has been through it or is experiencing it, you'll get what you want and what you deserve, which is only the best. hold on, stay strong. i love you.

You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the "Russian Revolution." It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators."

So early. Watched it, enjoyed it, don’t fully understand it. Hozier is such a phenomenal artist.
I'm convinced Hozier is an angel that just decided to live amongst us peasant humans.
I like this , I also like the song that’s called “Dupe - Folin Kot” 🔥🔥
Hozier never disappoints🔥
I love how his songs always have a message to this world...Thank you Hozier for this masterpiece ❤️❤️
i'm speechless..bravo hozier and the whole team for this important message. it's a masterpiece.
Don't know what any of this means but I like your way with words and imagery
Magic man
Thank you for giving us this wonderful masterpiece, Hozier. You're absolutely amazing!
Wow. They pair up and give each other their wardrobe/roles, and the man loses his arm to war, the woman loses both of hers to an ideal of beauty which she worships in her grief and loneliness, and when they return to each other both are changed, traumatized and numb to love. The hands that disappear appear in the children's puppet show; it's all they see. When the woman reveals their child the man shakes the boy's hand like he's a stranger, because he is, and when that child reaches for the doll, the man (maybe remembering how his wife used to be and in a pang of grief?) rips it from the child's hands, and the child in turn begins to act out his anger and destroy everything else he was given. In the end when the adults make the child disappear with an ominous meat hook revealed at the end, the audience of adults, numb like they are, see nothing wrong nor the implications and clap dryly while the woman and man take their bows, clearly without feeling. Meanwhile in the children's puppet show (where disappeared things go, remember) the boy's hand appears and opens a vault, and whatever's inside scares all the children so much they run away in fear - the exact opposite response to the parallel adult audience.
There's so much here but it definitely resonates for me for familial reasons relating to WWII & the intergenerational trauma that was passed down.
The more you watch the better it gets. He delivered.
holy shit the entire video was such a visceral experience. i need a book to be written on this
Since it came out, I've been listening to it EVERY DAY. What have you done to me, I have studying to do and a thesis to write! :D
Same
0:41 I like this part and how they both reveal the ‘roles’ for eachother (through their clothing)- kind of re-enforcing each others roles in society because they both know how they “should be”
I cried watching this. Such a beautiful and deep piece of art, as expected from the King. Well done to everyone involved in the project, and thank you!
I'm losing it at the little kiss he did at 2:07, its adorable
This is so goooooddd!
Andrew never disappoints ❤️🔥
God created men and sent Hozier as an apology.
I just love this song, Hozier’s voice suits EVERYTHING
🥺 I need to go lie out in a field for a while and think about how the need to work has consumed my youth.
Omg Shin Hati in music industry
Leave it to Andrew to always speak his truth so poetically 🖤
I left my comment here so if anyone after week's , days or years
Likes it so I get the reminder of this legendary song❤️
موسيقى هوزير وكلماته تأخذك الى عالم آخر… عالمٍ مختلف عن عالمنا هذا لكن عندما نراه نجد بأنفسنا المقدرة والشجاعة لمواجهة عالمنا الحالي ورؤية عيوبه بوضوح تام
ما فهمت المغزى من الفيد ، ممكن شرح لو سمحت؟
انجب
بسبب الحرب خسر دراعه وبيطلع غضبه عليها, وبسبب كده هي بتفقد مشاعرها. فالاخار هما الاتنين بيطلعوا المشاكل النفسية دي علي ابنهم. كأن الحرب "اكلت" دراعه وعصبيته "اكلت" مشاعرها فهما "اكلوا" حياه ابنهم وده اسم الاغنية.
I had a lesson centering around that video, discussing the symbolism, the meaning etc... The 7th graders were hooked. When I translated the lyrics to their language they were even more shocked. Great song and video to convey the message of how society molds you to be something you're not, hopefully us discussing it in class will be a slight obstacle from them getting "eaten" by the system.
That was so powerful, and sad, but beautifully done. Hozier never disappoints, and always has something important to say.
i will never not be amazed by this man. there's truly nobody who does it like him and i'm so grateful for that.
Wonderful to see Ivanna Sakhano in this! She’s fantastic and I’m excited as for this video
some details i love about this video:
1:29 the fact that shes about to become a statue, but then she sees he's back from the war and runs to him, only to find he's not the same man anymore.
2:32 the fact that the mother introduces the kid to the father and him just giving him a "manly" handshake, without any affection thanks to toxic masculinity
is amazing how this music video convey so much with the tiniest details
everything hozier makes is so poetic. i really appreciate that!
What a beautiful and poetic representation. Hozier, your artistry is something that needs to be cherished. Thank you for sharing your artistry. ❤️
Masterpiece. Perfectly executed the message and the symbolism
It's always a game and a show they say, always just a toy taken away. Mothers and wives finding solace in stone, unrecognizable, and a son you come home too, whom you must now decide will either follow your steps to the grave, or watch his family do it right before his eyes. All the children react so outwardly unabashed, while every adult is kept in chairs by social convention and whats expected. Coming home to find the sorrows may differ internally, but your actions will only ever affect more than you can perceive regardless of intent, and turmoil. What a wonderful cinematic piece
The layers of history and thought that goes into this writing is astounding, to chip away at the catchy melodies and upbeat music like I am in English class to dissect what's underneath is a pleasure. I've never really been into writing but this is special.
"Eat Your Young" by Hozier is a song that lays bare the greed and destruction of those in power. The lyrics are a commentary on the brutality of a world where people are consumed by the desire to achieve wealth and power at any cost, even if it means destroying the future.
The song's opening verse paints a picture of a world where people are hungry for success and will stop at nothing to achieve it. The lyrics suggest that these people are willing to "wrap [their] teeth around the world" in order to carve out a piece for themselves. The pre-chorus continues this theme, with the singer racing to the table to claim his share before it's all gone.
The chorus takes the message in a more grotesque direction, highlighting the ways in which those in power "eat their young". This can be interpreted as the wealthy and powerful exploiting and consuming the younger generations for their own gain. The chorus suggests that those in power will go to great lengths to maintain their position, even if it means "skinning the children for a war drum" or "putting food on the table selling bombs and guns."
Overall, "Eat Your Young" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that calls out the systemic corruption and greed that exists in society. It's a commentary on the ways in which the rich and powerful consume the resources of the world at the expense of future generations, while leaving those who are left behind to fight over the scraps.
IT'S SHIN, IM LOSING MY MIND
YESSS
The way Ivanna moves is just pure perfection
This is gonna be the best album of 2023
I think the moment he comes back from the war, he is not in a position to handle "active" behaviour. He desires a Pygmalion, an Aphorite without arms. Probably caused by PTSD. She does not even blink when he kisses her, does not move by herself(he turns her around) and she is aware of this "mutilation of movement" Mother also teaches the kid to supress his urges/identity/activity. Eat your young, war destroys the young and the lover. All of the missing parts go to the kids' theatre. The theatre is applauded by adults, appreciated whilst kiddos are afraid of witnessing the end, the inside of locker, the growth and the world after maturation. The video as a whole is not reflective of the song, but a rather a corresponding interperetation within the song. A truly unique approach- despite being so common in life.
I LOVE WHEN MUSIC VIDEOS ARE ACTUALLY ART ❤
I will eat the young! Thanks Hozier, my irish fav
The hook. It dripped. I swear it dripped.
Saturn : *And I took that personally*
A masterpiece as usual. Thank you. 👏
I love hozier sm
Thank God for some really great Irish Singer...most impressive ...this is absolutely brilliant
He just never fails at the work he is doing, I watched it for multiple times and it is just so pure, the message behind is so perfectly transfered to the stage and to the audience, to us. I can't really describe how amazing it is, I am putting myself into a repeat at this point because the capaticy of my word knowledge is not enough to describe how perfect this is. Long time haven't seen something that is actually good in the music industry. Luck to listen his music in my teenage years !
Beautiful, beautiful. Never ceased to been impressed. This is beautiful.
This is how you DO music!!! My love and admiration for Hozier and his team is ever glowing!
These lyrics are absolutely savage
Love it, keep making great music Hozier!
Hozier giving us music before the sun turns into Red Giant.
......why is the fish hook at the end so chilling for no reason
it’s so beautiful!!! i LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT
Hozier is not just simply music , it is a deep philosophy 💗
tore my heart from my chest and ate it
