We've been obsessed with Hozier for quite some time now, and have finally recorded our cover of "Take Me To Church". Happy New Year! Thank you so much for making our first year on UA-cam such a great one. We have tons more videos planned for 2015!
Any word on when this one will be up to purchase on iTunes? I have the others already and I didn't see this one listed on the iTunes link you posted in the info section under the video. Thanks! :)
Kristina Hammock Hi Kristina! Thanks for asking :) The track should be up tomorrow (hopefully)! You can grab it on Bandcamp now, but iTunes takes a little extra time.
I know you most likely wont see this but in the unlikely event that you do what class is this and any tips because a good friend and i are more than likely going to purchase this and play together so any tips anyone on certain parts?Thanks for reading Brooklyn duo if you see this big fan and a tip for you guys should do a cover of halleijuah by leonard cohen(i know i skewered that name)
It's ridiculous. I swear that I can hear the cello sing all the song, but that part of the "No masters or Kings, when the ritual beings..." Well, Damn, GOOSEBUMPS!
When the girl plays the piano, I remember the words. It's like, the piano keys, are "singing", suddenly they go from vocal, to music. The cello steps in and take over the chorus. Its the most beautiful thing i have ever heard! Next, the 2nd verse starts and i remember the beautiful vocals and lyrics to the song so that its singing the words to me. The cello yet again hits the timing on the chorus perfectly and she song peices it's self together to make the most beautiful noise. But the way the music is at 0:48 when the piano and cello clash their notes makes me blown away because the music goes from slow and beautiful, to amazing and beautiful! And artist's who can pull off that kind of music clash is concidered in, in my opinion, raw talent and an amazing true soul to music. :)
I literally have goosebumps. This is such a powerful song and I can feel the intensity and emotion through your playing. It's wonderful. I love the song and I love your rendition. Perfect.
SO...there are many things that must be said about this. One, it's just as good as the original track, which is saying a lot because this doesn't even have any words. Two, it's extremely well made, including the fortissimos, crescendos, and other musical techniques that blend very well together. I also loved how the "lyrics" switched from the piano to the cello and back again between verses and the chorus. Three, both of you are amazingly talented in the instruments you play. Four, I love this song and the way you portrayed it in your cover was beyond anything I've ever heard (I mean that in the most literal way possible.) And five, this video is the reason I subscribed. Please keep making amazing covers!
My lover's got humor She's the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody's disapproval I should've worshiped her sooner If the Heavens ever did speak She is the last true mouthpiece Every Sunday's getting more bleak A fresh poison each week "We were born sick", you heard them say it My church offers no absolutes She tells me 'worship in the bedroom' The only heaven I'll be sent to Is when I'm alone with you I was born sick, but I love it Command me to be well Amen, Amen, Amen Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life If I'm a pagan of the good times My lover's the sunlight To keep the Goddess on my side She demands a sacrifice To drain the whole sea Get something shiny Something meaty for the main course That's a fine looking high horse What you got in the stable? We've a lot of starving faithful That looks tasty That looks plenty This is hungry work Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life No masters or kings when the ritual begins There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene Only then I am human Only then I am clean Amen, Amen, Amen Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life
This is amazing, the music seems to want to be perfect. Not to mention the setting and how your faces together almost seem like a purposeful work of art. I am stunned.
I found your channel after reading the book "If i stay",the main character plays the cello so i listened all your covers and i am literally obsessed right now.i just love you ahh.greetings from Croatia!
Not even a minute in and I'm already in love.. you guys are amazing, I normally am not a big fan of classical or classical related things but this is beautiful
What you do with a cello and a piano, sitting in some hall, is divine work. You spread love, peace and hope through music and that works for all people of all ages. My humble request to you is to just keep doing this good work! Peace and love from India!
Hello, I'm Brazilian, I started to take cello lessons two months ago and next month I will start piano lessons, congratulations for your wonderful work . Thank you for taking the beauty of music to a lot of people. I watch so many videos and the videos of your channel are the one most inspired me :)
The pair of you are such an inspiration, so full of talent and a sheer joy to watch/listen to! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. It is very encouraging to see musicians that I as a young adult can look up to as role models.
Beaucoup de gens changent la descente de la basse avant le refrain et vous êtes les premiers à le faire sans que je le remarque vu comme cette vidéo est géniale !! Merci ;)
you guys are amazing , I love your work , and you inspire me to do everything you do with my sister who plays violin and I think it's perfect. thank you for your videos
I've just watched like 5 of guys videos!!! Your covers are just absolutely incredible. This is textbook the most purest form of music I have ever heard absolutely breathtakingly blissful music. Keep making these cover song videos!! I'm probably going to end up watching all of ur stuff by the end of the night.
I've never listened to any music like this before...wow! I'm hooked. I feel like my musical mind is opening and now I'm hearing the beauty that sings to the soul.
You guys are amazing! I just found you guys while I was just wandering around on UA-cam...and you ROCK! :) I play the cello as well, and man...I don't think I'll ever be as good as you (Patrick, is it? Sorry; I don't want to get it wrong...please excuse me if I do...) And Marnie, your piano skills are awesome! You're so pretty too! (Hope that didn't sound strange coming from a girl...) I can't wait for more covers!

Brooklyn Duo Thank you! I will check back tomorrow or Tuesday on iTunes. :) I was afraid I was missing it somehow on iTunes haha! Thanks again! :)
Thanks for posting! My friends & I love watching your videos! I hope someday I can play the piano like that. :)

+Natalie Abbott That's because the piano plays the vocal part and the cello the instrumental
+Axel Abraxas Actually, that's not true. The piano clearly plays the instrumental during the chorus.
wow well sounding cello man
Wow. This is amazing. It’s like the cello is singing every word. Amazing.
His bowing is immaculate
She's such an amazing pianist ! My one goal in life is to be able to play the piano that beautifully ..
the sunset in the background just gives they're playing a dramatically awesome effect !!!☆
I literally have goosebumps. This is such a powerful song and I can feel the intensity and emotion through your playing. It's wonderful. I love the song and I love your rendition. Perfect.
Monica Chang agreed
I never believed one could 'shred' on a cello until now. Thank you, sir.

To be honest, I enjoyed this more than the actual song. The passion you put into every note is utterly superb.
I would die to play alongside a cello. Beautiful instrument. Such a deep sound.
Take me to church has been my favourite song for so long, and too see you two performing it makes it 10 times better
This is unbelievable it’s like the cello sang every word!! You’re so talented
WOOOOOOOOOOW, celllo speaks better than words. i feel so lucky to have the chance to her you guys.
My lover's got humor
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshiped her sooner
If the Heavens ever did speak
She is the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
"We were born sick", you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me 'worship in the bedroom'
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
Amen, Amen, Amen
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
To drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Amen, Amen, Amen
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Maria P under almost every video from the Brooklyn Duo I see the lyrics but since now I’ve always knew the lyrics lol
I'm getting addicted to you guys!! That's some real talent you both have !! Amazing!!
Thank you!
Same.
His vibrato is gorgeous!
This dropped my jaw and brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful.
I love the slide you do at 1:22

This is amazing, the music seems to want to be perfect. Not to mention the setting and how your faces together almost seem like a purposeful work of art. I am stunned.
I could seriously listen to the two of you play all day long. Every song I've heard you play is better than the original. Your music touches the soul.

The cello in this makes me want to just cry. It's so beautiful- masterfully done you guys!
j'aime énormément cette chanson et j'ai beaucoup apprécié le résultat. Je trouve que le violoncelle réinterprète vraiment très bien la voix d'Hozier.
Cellos and Pianos are my favorite instruments and you guys have totally inspired me to learn how to play Cello!
The pair of you are such an inspiration, so full of talent and a sheer joy to watch/listen to! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. It is very encouraging to see musicians that I as a young adult can look up to as role models.
