it’s so weird for me to realize that hozier, this beautiful mythical mysterious forest mountain man, is also a millennial who sometimes tweets really weird and angsty shit.
This is my favorite song on the entire planet. I want this played at my wedding and my funeral. All these likes! I don't know what to do with myself! You humans are amazing!
I’m a tiny person, 5’ 1”, and as such have small hands, and seeing him easily hold that guitar and his fingers effortlessly curl into chords that to me require effort is the most frustrating thing I’ve ever seen and I’m so angry about it.
I just lost my son, was pregnant for 22 weeks, ik it’s about a woman but this is how I feel without him. I love him, he’s my baby. I’m broken without him. It’s been 19 days since I had him and each one gets harder then the first.
In New York people walk by as a woman was raped in the street and did nothing. They also walked by a dying man that was stabbed and he ended up laying there dying crying for help for hours. Thats how it is in NY.
@@andrewau2736 honestly man like either you just have lost all faith in humanity or are just brain dead and working to keep your high ass Bills in check
Have to mention the amazing girl playing violin behind Hozier whilst also singing along. Also, Hozier's voice somehow sounds way better live than in studio. Dude is a lyrical wizard
Nathalie Phillipsburg... a opera signer who was a pornstar in is 20...the music save is life from drug and abuse from partner. She had a book about that abd her really ruff childhood. Go check this out !
i remember when i was in nyc i sang randomly waiting for my friends and a person came to me and asked if i can sing louder i said ok and i sang joe tex and these taming blues and she gave me 10$ lmao it made my day
Boys workin' on empty Is that the kind'a way to face the burning heat? I just think about my baby I'm so full of love I could barely eat There's nothing sweeter than my baby I'd never want once from the cherry tree 'Cause my baby's sweet as can be She give me toothaches just from kissin' me When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her Boys when my baby found me I was three days on a drunken sin I woke with her walls around me Nothin' in her room but an empty crib And I was burnin' up a fever I didn't care much how long I lived But I swear I thought I dreamed her She never asked me once about the wrong I did When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her My baby never fret none About what my hands and my body done If the lord don't forgive me I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me When I was kissing on my baby And she put her love down soft and sweet In the lowland plot I was free Heaven and hell were words to me When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her
Internet Internet Can you tell me what do you mean, more specificly ? Like he sings about his fame, not love? But there can be also an interpretation of a lover and relationship: so strong that he is assured, death won't stop him from "crawling back"? What do you think?
So not only did I already love this song but it now has even more meaning to me. My grandfather passed a little over a week ago. The day before he passed I held his arm and hummed this song for him. I don't know if he could hear me but I couldn't bring myself to speak to him and the only way I could show him that I was with him was by humming. So I hummed a few songs for him. My grandparents were also married for 58 years and I think their kind of love is the kind represented in the song. I know he is in heaven right and now and I have no doubt that my grandmother will one day join him and they will be together for eternity. That's the love I hope to have. That is what this song is. Love for all eternity.
Hozier is an angel descended from the heavens to soothe our souls in these trying times. Every word holds magic, every note has a mystic hum woven into it.
I would absolutely have missed work if I went to the subway and hozier was down there singing. Who needs a job when you've been blessed by his angelic voice 😭😍
This is one of those transcendent songs which could have been written in the 30s, 60s, or 2023. Just so pure, simple, stripped down, and yet utterly complete in every way. Nothing could be removed or added to make this better. Top 25 of the past 100 years.

Beside the well known Take me to church, this exact song in this exact video was the one that brought Hozier to me and me to Hozier. And I am forever grateful of this fact.
His songs got me through high school, I found myself crying to this song among others when I didnt want to be alive, & Ill listen to them now while in quarantine :')
Been living in nyc 23 years. Taken the subway for 19 of those. Never once saw something like this. And people just walking by like he’s a street musician. Ww
Petition for Hozier to release an acoustic album of his songs with these people as harmonies so byutiful omg😭
Ramees Roshan It's his band
Consider it signed.
This is the band he tours with!! I saw him live in Windsor and it was a spiritual experience
YES
Yes, I second that. 💚
This is the perfect environment for him because, and I mean this in the best way possible, Hozier has always looked like that one strikingly attractive and well-groomed homeless guy you see on the subway
Aidan Childers the reverb from the walls of the subway must have also made him sound even more amazing 😭😭 wish I was there
I laughed at the homeless prt😂😂😂😂 but why is that so true
😭😭
Most hilarious compliment 😂
"No grave can hold my body down, I crawl home to her"
I'm so inlove with this line.

i say the same
I think so until I listing bohemian rhapsody from queens
I love Queen and bohemian rhapsody as well, there is just something about Work Song though. Maybe it's just because I am a hopeless romantic.
Agreed 100 percent well funeral part
You want a song about crawling out of your grave to be played at your funeral? Ok.
this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
Listened
Haven't seen yourself in the mirror I guess

No offense but, you look like 15 or 16.
This is a person who lost a child and this is what you had to say? Where is your compassion
Omg why are people in the back just walking by this omg guys stop its hozier 😭😭😭😭

Never heard this one before but it also brought me to tears, his voice is just so amazing.
Hunter Arnold - Really? I’m surprised. It’s been played on the radio heavy rotation since year. Maybe you just don’t recognize the acoustic version?
Hunter Arnold this one’s my favourite. So sweet and makes me cry every time I hear it.
Please please listen to his albums. Your soul would be thankful!

Haha that’s awesome :)
Cool
fakest shit I’ve ever read
@@lauradaniels9695 if //that// is the fakest thing you've ever read.. u can't have been on the internet for long
@@lauradaniels9695 What? one person thinking another person sings well? It's not even a crazy amount of money...
It's still crazy to me how Hozier rounded up all of the sirens and made them his worshipers, and we caught this wonderful creation on camera
it's most definitely because he too, is an otherworldly deity and can therefore summon his sirens
A moment of silence for the impeccable timing on those claps.
3:25 is the most insane thing i've ever heard
Thanks for this repeat button that I've just smashed the heck out of 😍
For me it's his expressions as he sings that part too 🙌
the little shrug after "if the lord don't forgive me"
this is the prettiest song with the most heartfelt lyrics
I can only imagine going to work and thinking 'oh this musician sounds like Hoizer- *oh my god it is Hozier*'
i like this version so much more than the original because it's so intense. you can feel his love for music, it’s so wonderful
The 22 dislikes are the 22 people who took taxies to work that morning 😂 Hozier is such a beauty ❤️🙌🏼 he really sang the shit out of this song
I will never stop loving this man, everything he sings makes me happy. Ireland is proud of you ❤️❤️

Boys workin' on empty
Is that the kind'a way to face the burning heat?
I just think about my baby
I'm so full of love I could barely eat
There's nothing sweeter than my baby
I'd never want once from the cherry tree
'Cause my baby's sweet as can be
She give me toothaches just from kissin' me
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
Boys when my baby found me
I was three days on a drunken sin
I woke with her walls around me
Nothin' in her room but an empty crib
And I was burnin' up a fever
I didn't care much how long I lived
But I swear I thought I dreamed her
She never asked me once about the wrong I did
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
My baby never fret none
About what my hands and my body done
If the lord don't forgive me
I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
When I was kissing on my baby
And she put her love down soft and sweet
In the lowland plot I was free
Heaven and hell were words to me
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
Thank you for posting these lovely lyrics!
@@BurgundyandBlue1111 :)
Thanks mate
Low lamplight not lowland plot

Right from the second they start humming I transcend to a whole different place.
man, he can TAKE me to church any day. goddamn!
I always wonder if he sings it refering each time to the person he wrote it for with thinking "Little did I know then..."
I doubt he’s enamored by his own fame.
He’s a very modest & humble man.
Internet Internet Can you tell me what do you mean, more specificly ? Like he sings about his fame, not love? But there can be also an interpretation of a lover and relationship: so strong that he is assured, death won't stop him from "crawling back"? What do you think?
He’s probably not interested in his fame.
He doesn’t care about being famous.
He values peace & quiet over fame.
This is honestly my favorite song by him. It fits his voice so well
In moments like this I regret for dedicate this song to a person that didn't deserve something so beautiful that came from my heart.
Woaahh he's soo tall even tho there's no stage he still stands out
Goddamn his voice and his beauty. 😍😍😍
So not only did I already love this song but it now has even more meaning to me. My grandfather passed a little over a week ago. The day before he passed I held his arm and hummed this song for him.

Hozier is an angel descended from the heavens to soothe our souls in these trying times. Every word holds magic, every note has a mystic hum woven into it.
I can't decide whether to play this at my wake or my wedding. or both.
No Studio , No previous tech. preparations and sound effects ... Just a pure genius talent voice
It’s crazy how he can make a guitar look like a ukelele
His fingers are perfect for barre chords
lol 😂
It's perfect for my p**** too
That's what I said too
1:20 when his Irish comes out tad bit there 🥰
This guy could ramble about random stuff and as long as he has that nice background singing I'd love it
I would absolutely have missed work if I went to the subway and hozier was down there singing. Who needs a job when you've been blessed by his angelic voice 😭😍

Whoa Hozier is tall as fuck. He looks like he’s on a stage alone above them but he’s just on the ground. Big talent in a big man
You can see the emotion in his face as he sings with the same level of mind shattering emotion. Wow just wow. Fantastic!

I like the way he stands on his tippy toes when he sings.🥰 Hee hee So cute. ☺️
*That man is something*
I never know whether to cry or smile while listening to hozier....so sometimes i just do both
I occasionally come back to these subway versions and do exactly that
I didn’t want it to end
I’d actually sell my soul to hear this live
I love everything about Andrew Hozier (the singer) and he's band "Hozier" Too 💖💖💖
Their voices are so beautiful
Jesus christ this man can write a LOVE SONG
A song that would sound as beautiful played at a wedding or a funeral. Hozier is truly ethereal
Amazing Voice. Thank you for this Video.
He’s an angel. I have his albums on vinyl and I listen to them all the time ✨
