Good for you !! ❤️ I must share - I just left a yoga lesson in the middle because I just asked myself what am I doing here. I don't trust the teacher anymore and i felt bad there so what's the point in staying. Feels absolutely great , doing what's good for you ☺️
Won’t name names, but this is the exact opposite of another song I recently listened to where the singer is basically shaming people in poverty and saying they’ll never be on her level because they can’t afford what she can, and I love how this song is literally so uplifting and is actually FOR those people who’re struggling. Very rare to see someone stick up for the little guy (in music, anyway )
Who do you think he's calling to in this song? Just casually peeping into the heavenly realms and going "oy this is happening down here, you listening?"
His music has a varied content..and that is always specific to his albums although he has two albums out...Jackboot Jump and But the wages....these songs are so related to the period we are living in now.
Took a little break from the shithow in the U.S, to listen to my guy Hozier, and damn he said everything I was thinking. Revolution needed on Super Tuesday.
This is absolutely wonderful. We might all be doomed but at least we’ll go out with some damn good art. Thank you so much for putting this up online! 💖
I love how his voice has become lower and softer.He has a lot more control now and this performance was brilliant. He's my favourite human being...ever!!!
He looks like in the episode of victorious when they went to prison he looks like beck but in a green uniform (not facially just in the fact that they are wearing similar clothing)
This man is so witty ,bless him, I needed this ,thanks for sharing . And at some point ,I wasn't lookin' at the screen for a moment and I got up the same time he did naturally lol
Ravenous! 😁😆so relatable .....making a livlihood is hard af. Thanks for the song Hozier. Your entire band performed it so beautifully....i hope there's more change in the wages soon enough. I wish a better life for my father who earns most of it for the family and himself is ultimately devoid of our company.
Hozier said that NY was the first time he played it and Dublin (last show of the tour) was the second! He didnt play it the first night in Dublin, just the second
Thak you for this Absolute Banger from the apperently very woke fae realm, I will be dutifully blasting it around my obnoxiously conservative family this christmas ❤
Although many contend
You can find hope ascend
To mark just how everything changes
Be it the temperature highs
Or the sea level rising
It's all going up but the wages
And murdered reporters
And talk of hard borders
Sky-bound as a heavenly choir
Or the stock price in Boeing
The screams of the dying
Or the skies over Yemen last night
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
Don't mention the rent
Or the money that's spent
Keeping the banks in good health
Or ridiculous claims
Or the level of blame
Pointed to anything else
And preachy musicians
And those stuck in prison
With scarcely enough for a blunt
Or the pressure of blood
That new hotel in the hood
With an oligarch's name on the front
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
It's all going up with the bump in the heating bills
Even though the city's on fire
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
It's all going up with the bump in the heating bills
Even though the city's on fire
It's all going up but the wages
And maybe it's time
Omg thank you so so much
I definitely think you're right with "maybe" but all I can hear is baby
@@k4eru20 Baby is very on brand for him so I'm not sure
Thanks so much!
I thought it was '"it's all going up but the wages, baby it's not", alas I am a cat
“If you’re not making the right people uncomfortable you might be wasting your time as a musician”
YES KING GO OFF
I can't wait for this song to be officially released do I can passively-aggressively play it over the speakers while at work
I like your idea, planning on do the same
Leave that job
@@ellawolf777 oh I did.
Good for you !! ❤️

19 people disliked this and they’re all Jeff Bezos
Jeff Bezos, Putin, Kim Jong, Trump, Boris Johnson... (help fill it in)

@@gabrielsiteny So true Gabri Sitney
i need him to release this song properly so i can strategically play it while i’m cleaning at work and my boss can hear it
I was going to like ur comment but turns out ive done it already. I double agree with u lmao
*“But The Wages” is “Jackboot Jump”s hip cousin*
Nina cried power is their cool aunt
@@billyshakes1643 take me to church is the gay cousin
Aunt
Hozier standing on his toes. He wanna poke a hole in the sky, is that it?
I think he’s trying to reach up and pull Karl Marx back down from heaven like he’s a can of soup on the top shelf at a supermarket
Jack Landis perfect comment
@@jaceyjacobs4013 yesss..; )
These new songs are what pumps blood through my body these dark months since the show in september
big time goth oh my god same
Literally same. I was at his Amsterdam show.
When he sings “it’s all going up” and he raises his brows and stands on his toes I can’t handle this
Yet another banger from earth's resident Mystical Man.
This will be on heavy repeat for a long time when he officially releases it.
those background singers are INCREDIBLE !! what amazing voices
Won’t name names, but this is the exact opposite of another song I recently listened to where the singer is basically shaming people in poverty and saying they’ll never be on her level because they can’t afford what she can, and I love how this song is literally so uplifting and is actually FOR those people who’re struggling.

Ariana grande I want it I got it?
@@kylie8576 we were all thinking it
I can’t wait for this to be officially released!!!
I’m here for the jumpsuit
hozier calling preachy musicians wankers is now my lockscreen ty
This is what I look for in a man
A 6'5 tall lanky man in a jumpsuit singing about the working class' struggle. Same. We must have the same type.
Plus the tippy toes 🥺
@@TalkAsSoftAsChalk 6'6
2:53 if he gets any taller he's going to be able to see the gods
Kat Ruthanne but isnt he one?
@@scummygurl you got me there
Who do you think he's calling to in this song? Just casually peeping into the heavenly realms and going "oy this is happening down here, you listening?"
He is the gods
@@asmaa8610 and I agree. He's up there hollering at his brethren to quit laying about and start smiting capitalist overlords
my greatest wish is to see this man play live, if only once :(
I saw him live during his Wasteland Baby tour!! He was spectacular!!!
"Preachy musicians".... um hozier what was that hand gesture? 2:47
Haha, you caught that too huh?
He did the same the night before. Part of the choreography I guess 😅
@@yaelziv1103 yeah it's a wank gesture, he's pretty much dismissing the "preachy musicians". It's a common insult in britain lol
@@ruxm1498 exactly my thoughts!
He’s calling them wankers, but it’s also tongue-in-cheek since he himself in this case is a preachy musician
His music has a varied content..and that is always specific to his albums although he has two albums out...Jackboot Jump and But the wages....these songs are so related to the period we are living in now.
i didn’t know they made jumpsuits THAT long 💀
Took a little break from the shithow in the U.S, to listen to my guy Hozier, and damn he said everything I was thinking. Revolution needed on Super Tuesday.
It’s so sad this song came out over three years ago and we need this song even more now compared to back then
He really has an irish accent in this one, huh. Go off king!
This is absolutely my favorite Hozier song and I really hope it gets an official release someday, because I keep coming back to this video
ok but why does he look like how i imagine a druid to
Do I need any more reason to love this man .
This is absolutely wonderful. We might all be doomed but at least we’ll go out with some damn good art.
Thank you so much for putting this up online! 💖
I love how his voice has become lower and softer.He has a lot more control now and this performance was brilliant. He's my favourite human being...ever!!!
okay but who gave this man permission to look this good? i am entitled to financial compensation now
”They’re laughing because those were the wrong chords😌”
That is one funky ending. The walk of the bass player even. It said 'We're nailing this' so well they barely needed to actually do it.
Sorry about the quality! It was a much better resolution before it was rendered and uploaded to UA-cam
Don’t worry fam I was too distracted hanging onto every word he sung
Not gonna complain when I'm getting fed THIS DAMN GOOD
His third album is going to be a banger!!
Release this song king
I can't wait for a studio version of this😍😍
Our wonderful fae king
this man and his music are reasons to live
I loved this concert series--every bit as good as the last. He is so amazing.
I literally could! Not! Love this man more. Literally. What a song! What a jumpsuit too, seriously, what a lad, god bless 💖🥰
He looks like in the episode of victorious when they went to prison he looks like beck but in a green uniform (not facially just in the fact that they are wearing similar clothing)
Was There Too! Absolutely Incredible Nighttt.
Kaiyre Grady same!! Amazing concert
Needs to be released now!!!
This song is lyrically and culturualy significant.
Oh God this is ridiculously good! This man never ceases to amaze me 🖤🖤🖤
I was at this show! One incredible evening! I didn't think I could love him anymore!
1:30 “I wanna marry you.” 😂
Someone else caught it! Big mood tho
RELEASE THIS BBY OMG
Y'all know I wish I was that jumpsuit
3:55 and onwards, look at him and tell me that's not the second coming
Lord, this one is amazing
This man is so witty ,bless him, I needed this ,thanks for sharing . And at some point ,I wasn't lookin' at the screen for a moment and I got up the same time he did naturally lol
such an underrated artist ugh
It’s been like two months - I need the fucking official studio release.
thank you, king
I. LOVE. FOREST. KING.
really vibing with the person being like 'ooh' in the beginning
WHY IS THIS NOT RELEASED YET
For those listening on repeat, false start is at 1:18, actual start is 1:36
James Rozenshteyn bless you
Ravenous! 😁😆so relatable .....making a livlihood is hard af. Thanks for the song Hozier. Your entire band performed it so beautifully....i hope there's more change in the wages soon enough.

haha i was standing right by you thank you for recording this! i only got a snippet that night
Oh he is so beautiful
this song is so FUNKY i LOVE
.....I need this on Spotify ASAP
His new album is amazing but i still wish he snuck this one on there as a bonus lol
I was at this concert! He was fabulous!
Thank you!! I have been looking for this song since I saw a clip of it on tumblr!
Love all Hosiers words! Great piece of music!
2:14 literal goosebumps
Love this song
I’ve seen the other version of this song but this one is the best
so uuh
should we add covid cases to the list of things that are going up or-
are we gonna ignore how he stands on his tiptoes when he sings
Thanks so much babe 😍 this is a great song
i'm sorry but those coverallsssssss?!?!?!? what a man
They were given to him by a fan who literally took it off his body and insisted Andrew have it.
Based on this angle I think you were 2 people to the right of me. How close were you to everyone handing out glitter for work song?
Wait lmao I see the back of my head and hear my laugh. Sup neighbor
Kevin L haha hey! I was super close to them but I opted to not throw glitter, no need to make more work for the staff!
@@hannahgandon you're an angel omg
@@libbyc4302 how so? haha unless I missed the sarcasm there 😶
@@hannahgandon being so thoughtful of the staff, not something many people think of. No sarcasm!! 💞
Hozier said that NY was the first time he played it and Dublin (last show of the tour) was the second! He didnt play it the first night in Dublin, just the second
He did indeed play it on the first night of Dublin, I was there 😂
@@marandra24 oh haha he told us he didnt play it the first night (at least that's what I thought)!
Andrew better put this on this next album, I think it has a place on the list with those Eat Your Young EP songs
Love him, loved the performance, loved seeing him on the piano, and I'm in the video! LOL ♥ ♪♫♪ ♥
Thak you for this Absolute Banger from the apperently very woke fae realm, I will be dutifully blasting it around my obnoxiously conservative family this christmas ❤
I'm gonna need hozier to release this....
Oh WhAt a TunE!!🤯🤯
Oh so good ! Great ! Wouuu beautiful yeeeeee
I hooooope he releases this song
So far Andrew has this and Jackboot Jump for the new album, I guess? I AM SO HYPED FOR THE OTHER SONGS
God
This man
Please, please, please release this, jackbook jump, and blood on an album, Andrew🙏 ❤
I stan this man
Omg we were so close to each other. My video (of a different song) is like this angle from the other side haha
This is based. Hozier is a comrade.
Hell yeah!!! You funky man!!! Woo! 👏👏👏👏
God you know I love him please let me kiss him that’s all I ever asked for
1:34
king!!!!!
The love i have for him
How did I just know noticed that this song is out there? Why isn't it realised yet? I need a Version on Spotify!! ❤️❤️
I just search "new Hozier" every couple of weeks. I don't want to miss anything from this beautiful man
I was here with my bestie! Best time!
What if it was:
It’s all going up but the wages
And they say it’s fine
It’s all going up but the wages
And maybe it’s time
Write music pls
Would love to hear him cover "Wish you were here" - Pink Floyd, and maybe spice it up a little. It would be incredible. 🙂💗🔥
If you haven’t seen him do “Time” with a whole damn orchestra, you’re missing out.
i’m screaming out loud
