"humans... they" Hozier is not human confirmed.
he’s jesus
The further we get into quarantine the more he looks like Jesus
Not really. Just a white representation.
@@johnmightymole2284 Which is overwhelmingly the image everyone associates with Jesus. And I totally agree he was supposed to be Middle Eastern carpenter. He's not very likely to have had long brown hair or be "white". But I don't think the image in most people's minds is gonna change as much as the fat, jolly old white man in a red suit and snowy beard that is most people's image of Santa Claus. Even if originally St. Nick was a very skinny, dour looking Turkish dude.
I'm here for it
@@johnmightymole2284 The Jesus we know = White German Protestant Jesus. Hozier = white Irish Protestant Sex-Jesus.
He is Jesus
Nice of him to find shelter to do the interview in instead of the forest where he actually resides :)
You can see the forest was just a stone wall away. He could scurry back quickly right after.
He's just considerate that way 🤷🏾♀️💕
THIS IS THE BEST COMMENT ON UA-cam
😂😂😂
È un ragazzo speciale ❤
Let’s all give a shoutout to Andrew for climbing to the highest tree in order to find enough service coverage to do this interview. Thank you bog papa.
BOG PAPA
I thought he was still in that subway, glad he made it out
Excellent interview. Andrew must be an interviewer's dream - he always speaks so well.
Coz Nice Mom and nice Dad and very nice bro !!
Seeing him talking about TikTok gives me cognitive dissonance
You sounds like a Vsause guy😅
yet he has intelligent thoughts about the whole concept, so i guess I'm not surprised.
I almost stopped listening to his music.
the fact that hes on there now
I never thought I would be getting emotional over a beard. But alas, here we are. 🥺❤️😍
Such a lovely, relaxed and introspective interview.. it's such a treat to hear him talk about his day-to-day life, even if it is during unfortunate circumstances. I hope he's doing alright 💛
i'd love to see Andrew on Tim Ferris, cause then it would be all about those nerdy things like books and other inspirations
A young Sirius Black but with the personality of Remus Lupin.
damn ur right
omg, so true. Sirius was way more all over the place, moody and idealistic. Still crazy how well he'd fit into HP universe
Oo, astute!
@@hanami741 not true
good one !
He’s genuinely so sweet and so smart! Taking the time to explain psychology during quarantine days 🤓 Lovely 🖤
So nicely said. He is a true gem. Such a great person. I love that he is so active in the causes he believes. I just adore him. I must have daily Hozier fix. I call him Hozzy Bear. I bet he is such a source of pride for his family. He is the age of my oldest child. And I'm proud of him, so I know his mom and dad are really proud! 😍😊❤
Ginger Countryman he is really one in a billion! An amazing role to look up to 🖤 such a talented and humble human being!
Staying up until 4am is rewarding sometimes
i am not alone thats nice to hear
I'm almost hitting 7am.
... Too far?
Tash Z nope
@@raypotato4847 I thought so.
Tash Z Ooh I thought I was the only extreme one 🦉🤠
hes absolutely above all the others!! looks, talent and heart .
Andrew is a good speaker, I must say and Spencer did a really great job asking those questions. Such a sensible interview.
What I want to say. I liked the interview. Non-trivial questions and meaningful answers. It was very interesting to get to know Andrew from the other side. It is interesting to listen to a person who is not indifferent to the fate of our world, his concern about the music industry and aspiring musicians. Find out how much he is immersed in the subtleties of the profession and tries to do everything himself, even in technical matters. Not boring at all, but very informative. I'm waiting for Andrew in a program about literature, about cars, or even on a cooking show. I am sure that it will also be interesting
He one’s said he’s a decent cook, so...
Wow I'm sorry but he's absolutely beautiful and good if him to connect in these tricky times
This is amazing! Thank you Spencer Kelly and BBC.
And that man just scientifically explained how our days passing away these days..
WE LOVE YOU ANDREW. ❤️
Name a better bromance than Hozier and Alex 💞 they had been working on music together since collague!!!!
Look at him. All beautiful looking, talented, sensual, geeky, famous and on tv again! No criminal, evil tone -deaf celeb like in the US (no offense to great US music lovers).
This was an incredible interview!! So calm, and you actually let people talk, wich is a thing in tv nowdays. We had the opportunity to know a lit bit more of Hozier thank you
What an amazing interview! Spencer did a great job with these questions! And of course Andrew's answers were superb
i am coming back to this again, but way after the pandemic. Its such a wonderful interview- an so interesting to hear him speak , now knowing the knew album and the material that he is talking about at the end of the interview
Heyy he has that post tour beard again. Looks great! He is such a lovely person!
I just watch it on tv ..now there is full. Interview here... Thank youuuu 😍
What a treat to be able to listen to him. They only showed a few minutes of him last week. Thank you and how can Colin Campbell be so rude? No one is forcing you to watch this gentle, caring person.
I needed this rn
He’s literally so gorgeous
This is such an interesting interview!!!! Im so glad we get the chance to know more about Andrews writing 💕
And also I was smiling the whole time watching this... 😆
I relate to him about being creative by myself... I am a pet portrait artist and I love the days painting while my husband is at work and the kids at at school- I always do the best work and actually enjoy the slower pace of day to day since quarantine. Now my husband is a “people person” and he has been working the entire time- he would go crazy staying home as much as I do!
Incredibly well-conducted interview! Hope everyone involved is doing well
god, he's gorgeous!
Great interview, was truly insightful, and as a fellow aspiring musician this was inspiring for me- hearing about his musical path and what he's currently up to in lockdown.
It's very reassuring somehow, I'm glad things worked out for him. His songs and covers are just amazing, been listening to the whole Wasteland Baby! album.
Hope to listen to your new & upcoming songs Hozier!
so sweet to see he is still nervous and fidgeting with his glasses while being interviewed, even after all those years. I was relieved to see the interviewer was professional and didn't ask any crazy-stupid questions. Little did he know though he was talking to a forest-daddy, who if not for all those charity events and internet, would hardly notice any pandemic, i bet xD
Grear interview. Very insightful.
A God send we needed. Thank you hozier ❤
Very nice guy !
a really interesting interview- great questions and a lot of space given to Andrew to answer in detail.
Thank you .💐
Good person as Irish are. Im so proud of him
Irish sometimes hold back but just have soi much to offer. People don't always hear us. So thankful for him
I listen and fall asleep at peace. Thank you
I would fucking die for this man.
he looks so good😳
Making a new album ??? 😃❤️ we hope
Hang in there Hozier.
I would recommend to stay as busy as possible in this lonely lockdown to mantain a healthy mind ,and I send greetings from Mexico City.
I watched this on my home TV and I cried a bit 😭🥰🥰
Thank you
Andy is the jesus of quarantine
Com'è bello 😍😍
Is nobody else excited to see a Hozier gig in Minecraft!?
Love him forever and a dat
Day
I love one man... from afar; my Forrest God
I thought it's a wonderful opportunity to get into "other" forms of connection and expression. Self-quarantine just adds another hurdle in life for the creative mind to use their ingenuity.
This Lookdown has been not so good to me ,i become sad and worried ,more than ever,Hozier in Lookdown becomes beautiful than ever ,i'm sure he has a magical portion that i'd like to have just a few for me. He's a good psychologist ... i think ! Oh he could be my therapist yeee ... Nice and interesting interwiew .Thanks Specer Kelly very much ! Ah another thing ... where the birds have gone ?
"enjoying things that the lockdown denied us" or alternatively, Talk v.2.0
A+ comment
Him in royal, bright blue makes me feel things
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Smart and talented guy. And I love this look on you Andrew..longer beard makes you even more handsome. 🙃
You make me feel better. My only child left. She would have loved you we are Irish English. She had Hispanic blood as well. But to say she was so intelligent. She tattooed a crown on her back. 1985 2012
😍😍😍❤️
And wow!!! He dint attend to that meeting with Universal because of an exam, but 3 years later he is the master mind behind 'Take me to Turch' and universal wants to sign him 💕😍👏👏👏
Edit: He left his exams at collage to sing with the label 😅. I got the meaning wrong 🤣.
I think it's the opposite. He left college after a year, he was supposed to take the exams but Universal offered him studio/demo opportunities and he took it instead of the exams.
@@chrizeldabernil8323 oh Damn it!!! I got it wrong 😅. I think i didnt hear it right, english isn't my first languague so sometimes I get the meaning wrong.
@@nayel1mart It only takes one missed negative. I've done that myself so many times... I can relate because I'm the same . Not my native language either 😁
I'm curious what his Myers-Briggs personality type is- INxx for sure...
it’s infp 100%
INFJ like George Harrison. He himself has stated as mystical.
😍🥰🥰
🤩🤩🤩🤩
“Private zoom dinner” 🤔😏
11:41 could this have been the comic relief sketch he’s talking about?🤔🤔
Only true fans are here
For some reason i get peace hearing you. I know my dead daughter loves you
Seminar for me😊
24:13. The question about a glut of COVID, loneliness types of music, we have the precedent of WWll music and movies, people wanted, needed to be distracted from day to day problems.
Wait so is there gonna be a 2021 tour 😂 he said he wasn't planning to preform this year...sooo....?
Plot twist: judging from hozier’s meaning of his music, what if he actually is the messiah 🤷♂️ just not exactly what we expected. And of course I’m not going off the fact that he has the traditional look of Jesus, but just what I know about his work.
This comment made my day thanks🥺
Only traditional since Europeans decided to make Jesus look like them.
Every time I listen to "Take me to church" I feel something strange n powerful inside me. Still after almost 7 years of that song I always get a different meaning of those lyrics.
OMG. THERE IS 20 DISLIKE WTF MAN!
Now look who's here 😂😏
This Jesus
Shit, let him talk. Spencer keeps interrupting him and it's annoying.
I love this man way too damn much. Fk me.
Em.
I need a Hozier fortnite skin NOW
ok, can someone explain to me please why there is 4 dislikes FOR THE GOD SAKE? Oh, maybe they miss the like button 🤔🤔
the pieces maybe they were looking at the screen upside down😂😂
@@joeobrien196 you know what.. you probably right! 😌
Why people push the dislike button? If u don t like it don t watch it. It s apparently not the content they search for. I m interested in ppl opinions when they are helpful but that button is just...useless. But everybody has the right to say their opinions, so i don t know what to think about just disliking things yet. I wouldn t do it. I don t wanna send bad vibes. Just incourage ppl to desire quality.
I don t mean for this to be read in an angry voice. I just wanted to share the thought and hear some others....
@@alexandraculea1195 you're right actually. I really don't know what to think about with that button. They're just trolls, ya know. It's their life philosophy lol. The UA-cam, the whole Internet still don't know what to do about them. Just like what you're saying about about that button and sharing opinions. It's like a bug or something annoying lol.
Is that u Jesus....
look mom that's jesus
@unusual coconut ikr hahahhaha
this guy ...hes so hozier than thou cant stand him
eamonn w rules of musician stardom. 1. Become a star (or think you are a star). 2. Become a god. Small g! But think and act like it is big G. Note: freeze water before starting to walk on surface.
Jesus wouldn't support United Nations..but maybe he's naively innocent
Jealous
Take me to bed I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your life.

Thx for uploading. If you have a minute come check out my cover of Fleetwood Mac - I'm an independent artist and think you might dig my sound. Really appreciate it!
Hozier....I imagine he likes legs and stockings...beautiful soul
these comments tho... jeez.. he sings well, thats it
Guilt Azaour today singing. Tomorrow saving the world. Part of the job. Throwing tellies out of hotel windows is no longer cool.
@@joeobrien196 Well I'd rather more people try to save the world than throw tellies out of windows. So glad that has gone out of trend. We could all benefit from saving the world being so popular, it does need saving badly.
@@chrizeldabernil8323 Yes👍
yeah, sometimes people totally overreact, kinda getting lost in all those 'shits and giggles, he's got comments', which is indeed kinda irritating. But such warm but not fake and humble personalities combined with looks and huge talent are very rare, so tbh I'm not surprised the comments are like that. Girls (mostly) are just very much attracted to such an idea of a human being, which seems totally cool, at least from the distance. And the real people we mostly have around are those who work boring jobs, read nothing and listen to radio music. I have only such people around for example and gave up a long time ago on finding any friends really (not that i think I'm better than them, just not my world really). So i guess there might be more people feeling this kind of loneliness out there and filling the gap with their fav music, books and podcasts
@@hanami741 but saving the world, he looks like Jesus or stuff like this? Too much.
I absolutely love BBC Click, but I have to be honest, this was SO boring that I tried to watch in 2x and even then I couldn't bear more than 2 minutes.
Everything he talks about is lifted into the general, the conceptual or the 'cerebral' in a strangely neurotic way. That's great and all, but he is losing character and, funnily enough, warmth by referencing to something outside of himself all the time. We know that the days are merging because nothing is happening. We are all living it. ... how are YOU specifically dealing with it? What have YOU been up to at home?
Hozier interviews are becoming lifeless because he is so extremely cagey about his person that he has a few specific "places" and variations of the same answer that he goes to every damn time. That's his prerogative, but stale AF!
It sounds like he has even developed a stutter? out of fear of saying one thing wrong or being misunderstood in the slightest? I want to shake him!!! LOOSEN UP.
Now, I'm a fan, but so sick of the arms-length approach he takes - even in his, what should be personal, songs. It makes them generic in spite of all the beautiful words and metaphors he can conjure up (not to say obfuscate with). Especially on his latest album.
Rooting for Andrew and his talent, but goddamn!🤦🏽♀️
Jesus Christ chill out. Its a 30 minute interview over Zoom or whatever. He's not obligated to spill his guts, he's never really been that kind of person. Let the man live. If you're a fan of him as an artist that's all you're really gonna get. He'll answer questions the way he feels comfortable, and I doubt a comment like this will ever make him feel more comfortable opening up, because it just comes off as you trying to squeeze past his boundaries.
@@sunlightfire5925
Forget the interviews and lets focus on the songs. For all his amazing social awareness and wanting to be "honest", in its own way, Ariana Grande's 'thank u, next' was more radical, touching and brave than any of Hozier's new songs.
Hozier has a problem in that area, but tries to make a virtue out of his obvious fear of true personal vulnerability. In the art itself!*
See also: Cohen's Suzanne or Nina Simone's Mr. Bojangles. Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes etc. - it doesn't take hiding behind high language and 7 layers of metaphor to make something poignant and truly beautiful. Often the opposite.
(*when asked about his own songs, he is quick to say that it is a "narrator" or an "imagined situation ha-ha." Fair enough, but he comes across as being downright embarrassed to identify with the sentiments of lyrics that HE himself wrote. "Talk", for instance.)
Why do an interview only to paraphrase sociological or neuro-scientific theories, reference other contemporary artists and, once again, make sure that people know that he knows how fortunate he is. Hozier's wanting to be non-threatening and non-egoic is increasingly getting in the way of his ability to express himself in a relaxed manner. Lest he offend anyone, right? I agree with him politically, but always taking those things into consideration it is the death of good art. And conversation. And personality.
I know that this is what we can expect from him. But I also know that he is not a fucking baby. Surely he is not going to feel "pushed" by one UA-cam comment alone. How fragile do you think he is?! The cushioning and cooing and dehumanising meming around this 30-year-old capable man is absurd.
Some people have the talent of expressing their deepest self/ soul through art and have trouble expressing themselves through words. I think he does fine through words yet I feel it's because he is such an old soul/ has such depth that conveying it through words is next to impossible, where when you listen to his music you already know the amazing soul he is.
@@sunmoon9574 Have you thought that maybe that's just who he is as a person, that he expresses things through music but prefers his personal life remain private??
Why are you so personally offended by how he acts in interviews? I'm not suggesting we coddle famous artists, but I do think you need to take a few steps back and examine why it bothers you so much that a complete stranger isn't being "honest" with you in exactly the way you desire.
I'm genuinely not trying to be combative, I just think you might be invested in this to a degree that will only lead to disappointment for you.
@@sunlightfire5925
You can let go of that condescending faux-concern. The answers are truly in all of my second comment.
: )
What a Boring episode,... for my taste.
Not that you asked but I find it strangely calming,
I thought Click was a fairly sharp production group, but when you can't even do a standard opening and introduce your guest, well, you're out.
WHY do you insist on wearing your personal mic much too far from your lips??
Just tossing professional procedure out, eh? Don't care about being heard well, eh?
You get credit when you do shows of quality, not poop. You're dropping the ball.
Stop it! You're bothering professional production people.
CARE! Do better! Sheesh!
Who the heck is this long haired hippy? Never heard of him. Looks like another one of those here today gone tomorrow types.
You know what, if you don't know who this amazing human is,you can just google it. But no, you are just another ignorant hater for no reason
You're really missing out. He's been here for seven years at least so don't hold your breath on him being gone tomorrow.
Who still uses hippy as an insult??
Are you joking , man???
Colin Campbell ua-cam.com/video/JmWbBUxSNUU/v-deo.html this is one of my favourite songs, he has some pretty good stuff :)
