it physically hurts how beautiful his voice and his soul are. he's pure, raw emotion. his performance is mesmerising and I can't stop looking at how he feels the song as he sings it. it's like watching an artist create a masterpiece, it feels so intimate and intense that you almost feel like you shouldn't be there, but at the same time he's begging you to watch, he's giving this song to you and trusting you with it, hoping you'll take care of it. his performances are simple but so rich of emotions and unspoken truths and it feels like he's telling you a secret, and I feel a sense of acceptance that is needed so much right now in the world. he fills our hearts with a kind of love that can turn to power. he's making the world a better place. thank you, Hozier.
And you know Andrew Hozier has got to be genuine because a woman like Mavis Staples would not perform with some indie white boy otherwise. Hoziers a great person and singer. 😍
That’s the thing, if maybe... you haven’t heard him after the take me church there’s s reason. The guys is too genuine, also he belongs to this Irish generation that is really pushing forward in their activism
You SEE that music is a spiritual thing for him. Every time he performs it looks like he’s in prayer, like music is this mans religion and my god is he devoted
Wow, Mavis is the last surviving member of the Staple Singers and still sounds great. Yvonne, Cleotha & Pops have all passed. They were such a great group, love their music and still listen to it today. Hozier is great too. Take Me To Church is one of my favourite tunes.
This is pure perfection. Two amazing artists, with Hozier transforming and reminding us of the blood, sweat, and tears that these men and women, Black and White, raised their voices in protest against. Much love. xo
Hozier is my absolute favourite performer right now. The more I learn, the more incredible he's becoming. To think that he arranges all that music... Mind-blowing
I wish he was still as renowned as the *"Take Me To Church"* era; one of the few true musicians in the industry at the moment ✨ *Mavis* took us to CHURCH! ⛪ I wonder if she's a Contralto.
This is amazing. He literally keeps the beat with his whole body. Feet, hands, head. He keeps with the bass and beat at the same time. True talent, and that is voice is something else.
I have no clue how this album did not get a Grammy nom. Are they f.....insane not to give this an award for its brilliant lyircs and vocals...gosh this album covers so much that's going on in the world now...so is true for Aurora with her two new albums. Ugh...😒
I just saw him in his first show at The Wiltern, all I wanted to do is thank him for writing this song, and I DID! He's such a badass dude that uses his platform for selfless reasons. So happy to be able to support artist like him! Thank you, Andrew! :)
He needs a Grammy nomination for 2019 and 2020. This song like all of his work is so beautifully and thoughtfully written and performed. Much success !!
Mavis is a one LIVING LEGEND, she is simply wonderful! Legendary Diva! And in lyrics, REFERENCES to LEGENDARY singers, in highlights the unbelievable Patti LaBelle, the best Singer of ALL time!
amazing!!! i saw hozier last week in DC, and it shook me to my core. he's legendary when it comes to conveying emotion through his voice but i wonder if he was nervous here? still so good!!
Every time I hear him sing I get tears and feel his music so deep deep down, I can’t look away, I sing his songs so loud in my car, I cry for my dead husband, I’m utterly and completely touched and laid bare with nowhere to hide when I hear this man sing.
Just want to say I love this so much. As for the rest I want to say, all the comments on this post say more about how I feel better than I can ever express or more. So I just leave it as that.
Listened three times in the past two days. It’s significance grows each time. From Nina to Marvin, all in the song cried power-something we all can do.
I'm sitting here with goosebumps all over and literal tears streaming down my face. This is the song of all the generations that have fought against oppression before us, and now it is our turn. The fight isn't over.
I love Hozier, always have, this is another one of his incredible musical triumphs. I love this song so much, seems like both studio and live are brilliant. His voice is so beautiful on this, as is Mavis Staples, she's incredible on this. their voices blend wonderfully together. 💕💕💕 This is a masterpiece
Right here! This is the magic that makes me know that we are still full of good, grit, and undeniable passion. Much love and admiration to all of these fantastic artists that blessed and touched my soul. ❤✌🙏
A comprise story of all ppl standing great and speaking for what they believe. Hozier's lyrics thread those and sing it for us so we can listen with our hearts
I finally have a new video to add to my Nina cried power playlist, which is just a list of every version on ncp I could find :) it’s absolutely perfect
their friendship is so cute. look at her smiling and clapping and him smiling back, and their height difference is just adorably goofy
Meera Madhavan u mean relationship? I mean look at that body language!
Meera Madhavan looking through all the other comments, yours is spot on.
Meera Madhavan hahahahaha
Yesss... I love the homage he pays to so many of the greats
I love this song!!
It is so deep and meaningful! I think you almost have to study the Lyrics before you really get it!
This song has Power! 💪❤

you are a great person
So incredibly true
Such a beautiful review, made me listen to this in a different way
Wow. Beautifully written. You nailed it. 😊 xoxo
So trueee also youre definitely ready to carry his children

"indie white boy" that sounds racist af
@@everychannel1025 only to fragile people
@@stirlingarcher7972 I'm only playing the libtard's game
@@everychannel1025 can’t be racist to white people
Still waiting for the moment I meet Hozier and we fall deeply in love with each other.
Daniela Cartes Same😭
Get in line.
You are behind me in line then. I'm already deeply, madly, irrevocably in love with him. Now, just half of the work is needed lol.
Same sister
I'm afraid that won't happen, for he is mine (hopefully in some parallel universe)
Magnificent how, when Mavis has her solo, he steps back to give her space. The respect among musicians is incredible
You SEE that music is a spiritual thing for him. Every time he performs it looks like he’s in prayer, like music is this mans religion and my god is he devoted
I wish Miss Simone was alive to hear this. She was power.
1:57
Mavis started clapping for him
If that's not support and adoration I don't know what is😍😍
I think the clapping is a way of recognizing nina simone. She used clapping as an instrument in her songs.
She clapped like she did when she did The Weight with the band. I think it's just something she does when she's feeling the music.
Where's a new Album Hozier??
@@jeanniepip coming out in like three days :)
@El ER you see it the way you see it. I see it the way i see it. Both ways are correct. We both love music...thats what matters.
His voice is hypnotizing. I will forever love him. He is wonderful in concert.
A. Vrana agreed!!! i saw him in 2015 and i get to see him again in a few days !!
A. Vrana seen him a couple of months ago....he’s AWESOME
i didn't expect to see them here. I'm surprised. They are on another level. I loved this song since the first time I heard it.
Wow, Mavis is the last surviving member of the Staple Singers and still sounds great. Yvonne, Cleotha & Pops have all passed. They were such a great group, love their music and still listen to it today. Hozier is great too. Take Me To Church is one of my favourite tunes.
I did not realize that Hozier is so tall till this very moment and I am shook to my very soul
He is like 6'5" girl. Very tall.
@@whodatxo4l 6'6 actually if google is to be believed
@@zach3394 he grew an inch, he was 6'5" before. He even said it
this is SO CUTE mavis is honestly so pure clapping away and having the time of her life
Everything he does is amazing. I wish I could like this video a 100 times over.
I'm going to watch it a 1000 times over!
you can if you create 100 profiles
I have literally listened to his album 24/7 since it came out. It's soo good!
It;s only 4 songs...there;s whole album?
@@Piggy-Oink-Oink The whole album was out as of two weeks ago!
Same here, honey!
Omg Mavis is so cute, you can see she's having a blast
This is pure perfection. Two amazing artists, with Hozier transforming and reminding us of the blood, sweat, and tears that these men and women, Black and White, raised their voices in protest against. Much love. xo
I just LOVE them together. Their friendship ❤️❤️❤️
Mavis Staples and Hozier seem so different and yet their voices in the singing of this song, meet, understand and create something truly powerful.
have people listened to those lyrics...man, woman..good God.... this is a masterpiece!
No exaggeration, this is the best performance I've ever seen. I am completely speechless and mesmerized.
Hozier is my absolute favourite performer right now. The more I learn, the more incredible he's becoming. To think that he arranges all that music... Mind-blowing
I never heard this woman before, her voice is SO good, and Hozier... no words, both voice so powerful
I wish he was still as renowned as the *"Take Me To Church"* era; one of the few true musicians in the industry at the moment ✨
*Mavis* took us to CHURCH! ⛪
I wonder if she's a Contralto.
She is a Contralto
Yeah I actually think his best song is called to be alone. It’s one of my favorites and is criminally underrated.
His voices is just BADASS!
This is amazing. He literally keeps the beat with his whole body. Feet, hands, head. He keeps with the bass and beat at the same time. True talent, and that is voice is something else.
I have never heard Mavis Staples, and to say i was immensily surprised is an understatement
One of the best alive singer, We need more artist like Hozier.
Peaceful, Creative and Respective. I hope I can see his performance in Middle East soon
Hozier and Mavis are just so pure, their voices and this song are powerful, amazing performance!
Currently typing this with a full body of goosebumps
They sure do CRY POWER. So powerful, especially in these days of suffering and injustices. Brilliant song, fantastic voices.
I have no clue how this album did not get a Grammy nom. Are they f.....insane not to give this an award for its brilliant lyircs and vocals...gosh this album covers so much that's going on in the world now...so is true for Aurora with her two new albums. Ugh...😒
Mavis! What a legend!

His voice and his passion love him !!!!!

Goosebumps, every time.
His voice is wow
amazing!!! i saw hozier last week in DC, and it shook me to my core. he's legendary when it comes to conveying emotion through his voice but i wonder if he was nervous here? still so good!!
I saw him at the Wiltern two days ago. "Shook me to my core" is a very accurate description of my experience, too.
AHAHHAHA HI ALEXANDRA nerd
Michelle McAdams LOOOOOL
Absolutely from the soul, the heart, the core the essence of the Man, unaware of his talent, embarrassed by his awkwardness, pure raw musical genius
Hozier, and this song, is incredible. The man is a musical genius.
Every time I hear him sing I get tears and feel his music so deep deep down, I can’t look away, I sing his songs so loud in my car, I cry for my dead husband, I’m utterly and completely touched and laid bare with nowhere to hide when I hear this man sing.
I love seeing Mavis up there singing and having a good time, she's so sweet every time I see her.
I just want to hug Mavis...
SomethingNew just thought the same😄
Song, they give me goosebumps everytime
I was waiting so long for him to release something else incredible after his debut album and it was def worth the wait this EP is amazing
This should have had 200 million views.
Just want to say I love this so much.
As for the rest I want to say, all the comments on this post say more about how I feel better than I can ever express or more.
So I just leave it as that.
Hozier will forever be a huge inspiration of mine. He writes beautiful emotional music and executes it perfectly every. single. time.
They’re both AMAZING
Mavis is amazing
Hoizer is amazing
Everything is amazing
Please don’t ever take this version away from me!
Mavis is adorable. Seems like a bundle of fun.
