"Take THEM to church" -LOL that cracked me up
That's truth
I saw your comment right as I hit that point in the video and spit my whiskey everywhere 😂😂😂
Why did it make u laugh
@@kimscott3889 because it was funny obviously
Me a Christian thinking are the church members trying to burn this guy at the stake. These church members aren't Christian they're sociopaths, the Bible says to love thy neighbor.
“why does this song make me hurt?”
hozier will do that to you
Your heart and your brain hurt but with such sweet dulcet tones - love him 💛
His voice too, oh God😍
Literally paused the video to come comment "Why does this song make me hurt, like I did something wrong?" like, this might be the most relateable hozier mood I've ever seen.
Fr. My cousin got me more into hozier and can I just say.....🥰🥰🥰
I love those kids.
"There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin." That hung me up.
I happened to read this at that exact point in the song and had never caught that line before. So powerful
This whole song gets to me
I cried like a baby the first time I heard this song, then later, when I saw the video I couldn't take it. I sobbed and sobbed. There has been no other song that moved me quite that way.
I still get teary every time I hear the song.
lmao hozier has a ridiculous way with words, it’s crazy
Me toooo
Leave a light on did that to me
Haven’t quite cried yet but it means a lot to me. Might cry this time if I watch the video
"man, they took his man". You got it. Makes me feel like a proud mama.
I thought the exact same thing lol. 🖤
I know, I was kinda “nervous” since this topic can still be controversial. But our two cool dudes here.. no sign of disgust or anything. So proud! Real men here.
Love knows no sex, race or religion. Love is love.
@@aesj2901 🖤
Your reactions were so honorable.
If these boys are the future my heart is full 🖤
“Make me hurt, like I did something wrong“ Dear one, you were on point
Hug Urkids yes. He was spot on and had no idea.
I just love this kid 💌
Bc he feels so deep in his spirit.
“He didn’t even let us get ready tho...” I don’t even know these guys and already luv them. 😧🥰
SAME!!
"That's a fine looking high horse, what you got in the stable?" I love this line.
That lyric jumped right out at me.
Especially as it relates to the Catholic Church during Ireland’s Great Hunger (aka The Famine)
That line sums it all up.
Can someone explain
@@hb-fq9fm google the Catholic Church during Ireland’s “potato famine” in the 1840/50’s.
the meaning behind this song: hozier has said many times that the three most human things we do are living, making love, and dying. the song itself was written as a sort of rebuttal to the catholic church’s views on sex and sexuality. though hozier isn’t gay, he is deeply passionate about human rights and this video was made in the height of tensions in russia regarding homosexuality where many were murdered. the song fits the video so well, i think. almost a “f*ck you” to the establishment, saying, “i will love this person regardless of what you say because being with them is the closest thing i feel to glory.”
thank you for that backstory. I had no idea.
Just to piggy back off of that, it was about how the Catholic Church would turn a blind eye to what was done to the gay community in Ireland were Hozier is from.
Nadia Mascareno Yeah my mom about 12 years ago wanted to rejoin the Catholic Church, and even though she’s always been fairly liberal, she became more so when she had to accept I was atheist and LGBT. She really started to notice their stances on a lot of issues, and couldn’t bring herself to join again because it went against so many of her beliefs.
To me, personally the meaning is even simpler.
God IS Love.
Everything sacred comes from being loved and venerated.
The most profane unGodly thing you can do is reject love, hate love, or try to destroy love.
There is no better thing to die for, there is no better thing to fight for and defend.
This song isn't profane- it is preaching the most sacred of truths.
@@whimsysmith2835 absolutely, but people who use their dogmatic beliefs as a podium to condemn others can inflict a lot of damage. I feel like Hozier needed to help the people understand that. Ya know, shed some light on the real situation that the church placed very intentionally in the dark. That was my take away when I read the article.
“They took his man”. These boys were raised right.
Yes ma'am and they're our open mind accepting of people for who they are future. Good parenting.
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 hear hear!! So true! Love is love - irrespective of sexuality 👌🏼 these fine young men didn’t flinch - sign of REAL men!
True that
Jill Stone, too open minded their mind fell out.
mzundastud07, a real man sees when a man is destroying himself, and instead of letting that thing which destroys him to rise, he lays it to rest. Love is love, not sure what else it would be. Wrong is wrong and right is right, or do these absolutes not matter?
I don’t know why but this reaction made me feel so accepted, like I’m actually about to cry. So happy to be apart of gen z, they are so accepting, obviously there’s people who are super rude but for the most part I’ve been accepted. It makes me super happy, it’s still scary but I’m happy..
Thanks for all the love everyone :) I was 15 when I wrote that and now I’m 17 yay! I’m out as a gay trans boy now haha I wasn’t out when I wrote that, so happy to know many of you accepted me for me.
Aww I'm happy for you! Like you said there are still hateful people in the world unfortunately but NEVER let them make you feel ashamed of who you are! ❤
U are accepted by me and millions more honey
We love and accept you
Awwww ((hugs))
Gen Z'ers are chill but my fucking god are there some religious sjw tiktokers... all I said was I don't care if straight people play gay characters and they went after me... like wtf I'm gay I'm not homophobic lol
I'm 61 years old. I appreciate your honest, open reactions to different musical genres so much. I suspect that your musical explorations are going to expose people of all ages to singers and songs that they never would have sampled on their own. Your such beautiful young men; your souls shine bright. Keep doing the good work.
"Why this song make me hurt?" Accurate for all of Hozier.
True
Hozier is powerful like that
It’s amazing he hurt so soon in the song too .. that boy feels the music .. never seen anyone feel music like him .. that’s why I lv to watch these guys ..
He makes you feel things you didn’t know you were hiding or pushing down
It made you hurt (the song) because it has a depressing miserable sound to it. Listen to this long enough and you'll be suicidal. Bad karma in this song. Nothing more.
Just love this guys reaction to the homophobic mob attack in the video: "You need to take THEM to church!". So true. These young ones are so loving and accepting. True souls. Your grandpa is surely smiling on you from heaven.
The very sad reality is alot if hate is done in the name of God......church isnt the answer
I think the point is that it is the Church that is condemning and not accepting. The Church needs to change or die.
@@gregbrogan9061 at church we are not taught to hate or even dislike gay people I could care less of what u do but it’s against the word and a abomination to the lord but if ur not a believer who cares do what u want it’s the fact that we won’t support it but we don’t care.
@@SaucyGarage - What bullshit - first you say "we are not taught to hate or even dislike gay people" and then you say "but it’s against the word and a abomination to the lord". When you are taught it is an "abomination" and not to support it, you are being taught to hate!
Fuck the church off and take it out the equation and guess what ..... no problem
Hosier’s brother did the video for him at the time the scene played out in the video was happening irl in Russia this was highlighting the human rights violations taking place there. It was his fits single he produced himself and released online and was a runaway success his mum did the album artwork for him. One talented family💕
I love that none of you acted disgusted when the men kissed. You guys are real men and it’s clear that you were raised right.
You sound like a denunciator.
@@anonymous2012s lol ok stefan
@@akhf9334 🍤🤏🏻
@@fridamikaelaa yea his 🍤 is 🤏🏻
@@akhf9334 XD bruh
I didn't see the video before, never knew it was about gay rights. Always loved the vocals and emotion; now it means more. 20 years now my husband and I have lived together, married officially for 12 years, interracial gay guys with the world against us. Appreciate your hushed tone that no one else has commented on...for them they still have to learn that acceptance is still about less being said....just let it be. Good really honest reaction by what you said and by what you left unsaid. Good stuff...yes, the younger generation could care less and that's a beautiful thing.....
Understand that you have had a long fight but my experience of the younger generation is that they speak out when they see intolerance of every kind and this changes things
It's not. Hozier said himself that it's about religion. He's Quaker, and the song is about the evils of religion.
It's not what? And why?
Love the younger generation...let's just start over...seriously think that's a great thing.
@@glenjohnson9128 the original post in the thread assumed it was about gay rights.
Your silence at the end of the video was appropriate. That video hits like a sledge hammer. Bravo to the both of you
Well said.
When I was your age, Tim and Fred, many straight male peers would have cringed or paused if they saw two men kissing. Heterosexism/chauvinist attitudes were so rampant and normalized. I know this issue is not gone, but I absolutely love the way you two honored this video and the powerful message in it. Made me so happy. Thank you for being beautiful human beings and powerful role models to us all. 💜
The lack of cringing is the most beautiful thing.
well in the future we wont even be allowed to eat meat. If you say you used to eat hamburgers they will call you a killer
@@goodbye-qi2ku Hi! I think you might have the wrong message board. This one is talking about persecution.
@@susanminott No it isnt
As they should. Holding onto your religion and morals isn't a bad thing. Heterosexism isn't a thing at all.
I was very religious and I heard this song. The song broke my heart as I studied theology and I completely understood the message. I felt as if someone turned the lights on and I could see clearly again and I knew my religion was wrong and I left. Soon after that my son told me he was gay. This song changed my family’s life for better.
That is so beautiful. Thank you for being such an open-minded, wonderful mom. I was so afraid of being rejected by my Catholic mom, that I didn't tell her I was gay until I was in my 40's. I probably should have trusted her more because she was great about it and came to my wedding. She has since passed and I miss her every day. I have also had songs change my life, music is pretty powerful.
What religion did you practice?
@@adventure_lewis3354 I was a fundamentalist Christian
@@AdrianaWhitney I'm a Christian, and although the Bible says Homosexuality is bad it also says to love thy neighbor. Whether they're Lesbian, Gay, or even a thief we as Christians are supposed to treat others with love and kindness.
As a person whose never been religious, is not that I don't want puerile to he atheists or anything, or does so some good, the charity since churches do, the people are usually driven & strange up etc, so the mid it puts them in is a good thing I feel, I wish I had that more often, but it's when you start preaching & dating you need to live the same way some guy wrote down how they did a thousand years ago that gets me
‘Make me hurt like I did something wrong” - you’ve just articulated something I couldn’t before when hearing moving music!
Yes! Right? This song and the way Hozier sings it really makes you feel those emotions. His voice is so heavy and powerful. The way they described it is exactly right.
Or Jeff Buckley's cover of it.
It stabbed me in the heart when I first heard it,and then I found the video and realized that was the intent,among other things.
He perfectly described what it's like to be raised Catholic!
beatrix720 🤣
"He didn't even let us get ready" lol. Awesome
Hozier never does, always comes in hot on a track 🤣
In the 80s, I was one of those boys, like in the video, who got mobbed and dragged off to be beaten, for being gay. This video, and it's song, has always been triggering for me, but it is so important. So real. Mass respect.
😂 "He didn't even let us get ready." You two make my days. "Hold up, we need to take them to church." 😂
SUch funny reations arent they! I love young men enjoying themselves!
The fact that this song and video moved you and left you speechless says everything. We all can make a positive mark in the world, in our own way everyday. Keep doing what you are doing gentlemen.
Peace to all good will to all men , amen 😘😘❤❤UK
THIS SONG THOUGH!!! 🙏🎶🎶
I had the same thought. At the end they just sat there looking at the screen. Their empathy gives me hope for the future.
A Molotov cocktail is what’s being thrown here, whereas Mazel Tov is a Jewish expression for “congratulations”. Even so, a Mazel Tov cocktail sounds somehow charming and it, oddly, made me smile. It’s also extremely lovely to see 2 men secure enough in themselves to see 2 men kissing and not even flinch. I hope that these young men represent our future.
My dad used to tell me a Mazel tov cocktail was when they used manischewitz as the fuel in the bottle.
James, funny I was thinking the same thing and was utterly charmed by them.
I’d definitely order a mazel tov cocktail if that exists. Sounds fun!
James King yo I was crying....that was too funny!
I had just heard that part when i read this! I agree.
I think the most telling line in the song, that should help people understand is 'I tell you my sins, while you sharpen your knife'. Very glad you two covered this one and enjoyed!
For some reason I used to think it was shopping at night 🤣 as if God was plucking his sins off the shelf smh 🤷🏾♀️
@@rissa7710 lol never heard that one. Do you have a hard time hearing anything else Now? :P
Mad props to their parents ... these young black beautiful men appreciated the music, the pain, and message. No judgement on their part... amazing young men!
Why do you need to point out that they are black lmao
@@kidcoma1340 lol
kinda weird how you specified that they were black as if that's an important detail...?
They were raised amazingly no doubt in it..But what made you to comment like thatt
What I love about this, is two young black men watch this video and there is no reaction, positive, or negative, to the gay kisses. It's just normal. We have come a long way.
Feeling hopeful.
What I love about this video is two young people watch the video and there is no reaction.....
Homophobia, transphobia, racism....all the other isms and schisms mainly exist in one race....and that is the human race
sharky sharkster what about Nascar
Young people will save this country...
Two young men ......
Being a 58 year old woman and watching u boys makes me feel there is hope in the future! Keep the love going 😍
Another Senior Supporter here 🙋🏼♀️
Make that 3!
Agree
Make that 4. I love these kids!
@@sadigrrl make that 5 👍🏻
I've heard this song many times, but this was my first time seeing the video and I wasn't ready for it. Twins, while you are learning about different music, I think you are taking many of us on your journey with you in our own ways. Keep exploring!
I am a 70 yr. old white woman, and I love you guys. You are way ahead of the crowd. I am so glad you appreciate what came before you and where you came from.
Interesting fact: My small, very conservative Texas town stopped playing this as soon as they found out what it was about. At first everyone was like, "Oh how sweet, he wants to go to church!" and then when he explained the lyrics and his dislike for the church no radio would play the song, they went from playing it every day for a couple of weeks to nothing. I think that's what makes me love this song even more, that even when it's not being played it still leaves a message.
that's hilarious, Emma i love that! I'm not a religious man, but I do believe in the teachings of Jesus. and what is more Christlike than being loving to all?
A lot of people today, that call themselves Christians, go directly against what Jesus taught. What Jesus taught was that love was the most important thing. Our love for God, and our love for each other- not judgment
@@lukehunter3902 🌹💞 🌈
Emma Rodriguez Whoa, thanks for your story about your small town in Texas. I think some people are mostly brainwashed and I don’t know why they’re so afraid of gays. I’m in California and this video, I’ve sobbed to many times. They lyrics and voice are so beautiful and the video so visceral and real. I don’t know how anyone couldn’t have empathy. Times are changing though 💕
proof or it didn't happen
Wow. That was heavy. The song ended and I was staring at it like ya”ll were, just silent. Powerful song and y’all’s reactions to it were on point.
As a mom (and a twin), I'm proud of both of you young men for reacting so sweetly to this song. That few seconds of silence you take at the end of the video is beautiful.
This video is so powerful. I love how you guys actually listened and watched and then realized that there weren't jokes to be made at the end of this. I appreciate you actually listening to the music and that's why your channel is growing. ❤😎
Bailey Ray every time I watch a new video I glance at their subscriber count...it’s staggering how fast they’ve grown.
Absolutely agree.
"He didn't let us get ready." Nope.
I’m a 64 year old grandmother and you two give me so much joy! You have open hearts and growing minds and you have beautiful souls.
This song always makes me cry; my best friend from highschool was brutally murdered while on vacation, simply because he was gay. It's hard to watch the video to this song, but watching you two react to it was truly healing. You're good people.
2 strong young men don't even flinch when they see another two men kissing. this made me cry. you beautiful, beautiful souls. your grandfather raised true gentlemen
@@riledmouse4677 yeah, it was mentioned a few months ago that he had just passed, and that he had looked after them for a while. he must've been a good role model because they are true gentlemen
Amen.
You're celebrating the fact that they weren't dumb enough to fall into the trap set for them with this video. Confirms something sad about BLGT. You have to test people's views on your sexuality before they gain your approval, because your sexuality dominates your lives. Sad. How do you know what they said off camera. Still two nice young men, though.
@@25blondie If i'm reading you correctly my sarcastic reply is "Oh, how DARE we hope for the best in people!"
@@ladykatza 'Hoping for the best', 'provoking a reaction' still amounts to testing people out because of an obsession with your sexuality. No one cares any more unless you start shoving your obsession in their faces. Which you seem to do all the time. 'Look at me, I'm gay and proud of it'. Boring. As for people who disapprove. Well, that's life. No one can be forced to like everyone, for whatever reason.
This song runs deeper than any other I've ever heard. It's not just the lyrics, but the way he sings them. He is an incredible artist.
I love Hozier so much!!!
@@MidletonButerfingers He is so good live too!!❤
His voice gives me goosebumps
@@leanneb9841 yes!! Absolutely.
Leanne B Same! I had goosebumps throughout watching their reaction too, even tho I've heard the song many times.
its even deeper when you remember that this song came out when gay marriage was being debated/legalized. It made me feel like I was safe/loved/ valid. Hozier is amazing
Y’all can never go wrong with Hozier. Truly an amazing talent.
So impressed with you too. When two men were kissing you didn’t flinch. Sign of the times. Things change and you proved it.
I noticed that too ✌🏽
I had to applaud this also 💞
I thought the same thing! We slowly move forward.
Yes!
I noticed the lack of reaction to that scene too, and felt like a proud mama
"They're throwing a mazel tov at the church!" is the funniest joke they'll ever tell by accident, especially during this song! 😂
Molotov cocktail? Is that what they meant?
@@MariaCarabin yeah they meant molotov haha but funny too cuz the song was making him close his eyes so he didnt really see parts of the video and dint get they were setting on fire the gay guy's house, not a church 😅
Fr tho
😅
Nothing funny at all about that video. Sad that people still think that way.
Nothing makes me more happier than to know these two are so supportive. “Take THEM to church.” XD Bless you both that makes me so happy 😭🙏🏾❤️...if only my family were the same...
"Take THEM to church!"
🤣 Yep - agree with you on that!
I've never heard this song before. I had a very visceral reaction to the video and all I could think of was the Matthew Shepard case. At the time of his death in 1998 he was 21 years old.
The twins are 22 years old and had no reaction to two men expressing their love. Their response was in regard to the hate. They said they felt like *they* did something wrong. If that's not the most pure and perfect reaction, I don't know what is. We should all feel that.
And the Molotov cocktail was mentioned, a house being firebombed. In my eyes, I saw the person ready to throw it into a synagogue, a mosque, I thought of burning crosses. It's so amazing how music can make us happy or sad or nostalgic. Yet is has the ability to make us hurt or angry or propel us in to action. I'm thankful to the twins for bringing that back to me; music like life inspires us to take unknown paths.
Lately I've been on every hectic path, but the twins made me realize, I have to take time to listen to the music. I'm a Civil Rights Lawyer, I see a lot of evil in the world. With this channel, the people watching, commenting and being positive and overcoming stereotypes and grandmas thanking the twins for introducing them to Tupac, as they never would've listened to him, I am elated! I feel HOPE! I've never felt more connected to strangers. Thank you all for your comments, it's not only helping these young men but it's bringing joy to some having a harder 2020 due to challenges other than COVID. ❤ 🙏
Lucy in the sky Peace, Love and Understanding

This really resonated in me ❤️🕊
Thank you for all your work. This is something I wanted to do when I was young. And I know it’s not an easy one 💗 May you forever find good when all hope is lost. 💫
It's funny. I've been an atheist since I was 10 and I've been telling people to "keep the faith" a LOT this year... We will make it together

Most definitely!!
Yes please!! From Cork Ireland
Fucking goosebumps, genuine, every time.
I love their reaction, seeing the feels of the song
I love how they were both clearly shocked by seeing the guys kiss but they didn't make any rude comments about it. They are clearly beautiful souls.
they had no reaction they weren’t shocked i don’t think
I didn't see clear shock at all, they didn't react at all.
@@Thisiskoko104 me nether they didnt bat an eyelid funny enough nether did i Love is so rare grab it when its true it comes in many different forms in the world love has more than one type thats what makes the world go round.
I didn't see shock either
My guy on the left makes that face when the music hits him some kinda way, I legit don't even think it had anything to do with the visuals but just my read
“Someone needs to take them to church”. It’s refreshing to see young men recognize what was going on in the video (hate crime) was not cool and the bad guys need to go to church. I’ve never seen the video myself and ya! it was like watching a movie I need some context and details to where this song came from or the concept for the video. I’ll tell you my sins, you can sharpen the knife. Powerful words! If you thought this song/video moved you, you need to watch the video of the Russian ballet dancer dancing in an abandoned church, to this song. Goosebumps!!
best line I've heard from them - ever. Speaks volumes to their upbringing and morals!!
That documentary of the ballet dancer is excellent. You don't even have to be a fan of him or ballet dancing. It's a human story. You cannot help but very invested into this man. I can't recall his name of the top of my head. But yes, he does an emotional performance to this song. Its profoundly moving.
SA Doherty he was on Ellen. That video was supposed to be his last dance but with all the attention it brought, well it sounds like his career has been resurrected.
Cab Calloway to Jake and Elwood Blues,
"You boys need some churchin' up"
Just like the more hate spewing "christians"...

“Bro, why this song make me hurt?” Awww babe, because it’s Hozier. Welcome.
Word
This.
TESTIFY!!!
LOVE EM!!!
Truth. Every song is raw and visceral.
Hozier is like a therapy session for my soul. I have periods in which I only play that sort of music, when I need comforting.
I find Irish singers always seem to touch the soul it’s the haunting sound
You guys have been a beacon of positivity! With such an opened mind without expressing judgement, just exploring the journey of musical genres as well as the possible journey of other individuals within the contexts of the video! I love you guys for that! Continue your journey with much success and thank you for inviting us on tour journey!
You said Mazel-Tov cocktail. Best thing I’ve heard in friggin’ months.
recipes are being taken ... what would you ask for one?
It took me 3 tries to sound out the problem 😂 Tbf, Molotov and Mozel-Tov sound a lot alike 😊
It's a gay hate crime video, bringing to light what some gay people have gone through. Very sad 😭
The music is beautiful.
Yeah. Love the song but the video is sad to watch. 😪
have gone through very recently and still go through today.
I haven’t seen the film clip till just now. The song makes so much more sense now. So sad
This song touched me deeply. When I saw the video I had tears. No one has a right to do that to other people for who they are.
@@deebancroft3141 Same - this is the first time I've seen the video. The song was already haunting (and beautiful), but now with this context... it's just heartbreaking.
I really love you guys. It's therapeutic watching your reactions to songs I love so much. I'm encouraged for the future if there are more kids like you in this new generation.
The moment they find out the guys are gay... okay , and feels the song and understands it on another level. This is why I subscribed to you guys , openmindedness is a truly beautiful thing.
BTW, it's a Molotov cocktail, the burning rag in the bottle thing... Mazel tov is a way of saying good wishes, congratulations, blessings and such in Hebrew.
🤣🤣🤣
Yes, but it was so cute when they said it that I chuckled. Love these young men ❤ 💜 💕

I think you guys would love Leonard Cohen “Hallelujah”
Or the Jeff Buckley version.
Yes! The Jeff Buckley version is gut wrenching.
Buckley’s cover is weak compared to the masterpiece Cohen created, imo.
Yes! KD Lang has an amazing version as well.
You want it darker man that whole album hits hard
This song will make you cry for no reason
"They throwin a _Mozel Tov_ ...?"
I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Thank you.
haha - same :) Love it! :)
"Bro, why that song make me hurt?" Every Hozier fan ever: WE FEEL YOU.
He's my favorite artist. I'm so happy you loved it!
I forgot how much I liked this song. Hearing it again through your ears is like hearing it again for the first time. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the power of this song. Local artist from County Wicklow here in Ireland - where I live. The video was shot within a close radius of where I lived at the time that it was filmed. It’s so weird to see so many familiar places in a video of a song that went on to become a major worldwide hit 😮
Arsonists lullaby is the Hozier song that literally slays me. Big elephant sobs every time
I love this. Two men in love and you guys didn't even react. Love love love guys!!!!! You got it, they took his man. His love.
As a proud out lesbian, I was so touched by your acceptance of this song and story. You guys continue to lift people up and brighten our world in these Covid Times.
💯💯💯❤
Agreed 💌
I feel so much love and hope after watching how these young men react to this beautiful and haunting song ❤️🕊
Couldn't have said that any better.
I love that you guys listen to all kinds of music. You don’t limit yourselves.
The song and video is Brilliant. And it’s so nice to see people watching a video for its artistry and not judging. Life is a journey and we all need to appreciate everyone’s journey.
Hozier is Irish.The Catholic church in Ireland has always had a strong influence and anti-gay sentiments are prevalent there.This video by Hozier is showing a gay hate crime happening.The song stands on it's own without the video but the video tells it's own story.
There isn't a prevalence of anti-gay sentiment in Ireland. We were the first country in the world to vote to allow gay marriage. The catholic church is very anti everything but it is losing its influence here and as someone who lives in ireland I know no one who actually practices the horrible religion!
Greetings from a fan from Ireland, love your appreciation and reactions, glad you found the Irish, now you need to hear the U2 and BB King duet, Sinead O' Connor - Nothing compares to you, The Cranberries just to start..... I agree with comment, "there isn't a prevalence of anti-gay sentiment in Ireland. We were the first country in the world to vote to allow gay marriage" The Catholic Church has many failings but has so many strengths, it has its true beliefs which some disagree with, but they are not anti everything. Who is feeding the poor daily on the streets of Dublin, quietly, among many other things. They, feed the most, educates the most, cares for the most (inc. 3rd of all HIV cases and families) people in need in the world regardless of their religion. I know many who are Catholic in Ireland including me. Get the facts and share the love. AMDG
@@td6079 Sin ead all the way... 🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@tbc3770... Maybe not now, or not as much, but Ireland was like 14 years behind the first legalisation of gay marriage in the Netherlands.
This video is about the persecution of gay men in Russia, which is still prevalent. It has nothing to do with Ireland other than that Hozier is himself Irish. Putin and his government still have anti-gay laws, and many other celebrities have spoken out about this.
you too give me hope for the whole generation lads, so open minded and willing to see what its all about. 10/10
U 2 really GET IT. U were immediately moved at the first sound of Hozier’s amazing voice, and then u were stunned into silence at the end. Its a perfect, powerful song. I couldn’t watch the video because I couldn’t take my eyes off of uzzz! 🥰 ⛪️
I could see how this video affected them at the end. You two boys are so sweet love watching you guys discover new amazing music. 🙏🏼💗
If you like Hozier’s voice, you should really listen to his song Nina Cried Power ft Mavis Staples. It’s an ode to protest anthems and social progress, and is incredibly beautiful and powerful
Beautiful song. The twins reviewed it a couple of months ago!
Yessss!!!! Nina Cried Power. Is such a strong song. I love every minute of it.
Don’t think I’ve heard “Nina”....stuck on “TMTC” and a few others. Going to find “Nina” now. Thx
❤️🧡💛💜💙💚 THANK YOU GUYS!! Told you it would be worth it!! ❤️🧡💛💜💙💚
One of the best and most meaningful songs in recent years! It gets to my heart every time!!
What I like is when they kissed
These two just looks normal I really like that
🤗🤗you guys are raised right
You boys are the best!!!
I say you boys because my husband and I are parents of three adult boys and you are so much younger we could be your parents!!!
I had been watching you last evening and when my husband came to bed, (around 11p.m. ), I had him watch your reaction to More Than A Feeling, BOSTON.
It was his favorite band back when we was in high school.
He had even gone to a concert back in the day!
Oh boys what fun we had walking down memory lane, late last night, (we're old) ;) while enjoying songs from our youth, and your reaction to them.
He told me about the concert in Augusta Maine, and how the crowd was so tightly packed and excited to get in, the doors were pushed opened and the people working their, never got to take tickets.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!!
You boys were brought up well.
We can tell how polite, respectful, and just good people you are.
Keep that foundation in whatever and wherever you go.
Don't let "fame" get the better of you.
Keep enjoying some of the best music we are blessed to have been brought up with.
We are certainly enjoying your reactions to them.
We are going to have one of our boys help us with putting together songs from our youth on our cell phones so we can enjoy them once again.
May God bless and keep you boys.
This was so neat to read
They have me remembering songs I thought I had forgot lol. And introducing me to songs I have never heard before. I love their channel too!
Well said 🥰
Sinead o Connor “nothing compares to you” it will be worth it
Perfect for Women on Wednesdays, Tim and Fred
Totally agree ..come on boys..x
My favorite of all time
yup. that's a banger
Chris Cornell nothing compares 2 U
I cried my eyes out the first time I saw this video. It made me love the song 100 times more.
"He ain't even let us get ready man"
Fr. This song took me back when it came out
I love Hozier he does such deep meaning songs but his voice is stunning! Work Song is another good one!
This breaks my heart, when I was young my sister came out and being Catholic my mum called the priest who told me at aged 13 that I had to chose between the church or my sister, needless to say my sister won. My son is gay and lives with his fantastic partner but they still have to be careful as there is so much hate in the world. I raised both of my children to treat everyone with love and respect regardless of religion, colour, sexuality etc and proud to say they have carried this with them all their life. It takes so much more energy to hate and how boring would this world be if we were all the same. Love you guys xxx
you're an awesome parent and sibling. thank u 🖤
i wish i had a mother like u
Love your comment.
Brilliant parents raise brilliant and loving kids - there is no place for hatred
U made the right decision. I hope ur sis and ur son are doing well.
You should watch his performance of this song when he sings it the subway, so good
man you guys are awesome! i've never seen anyone react to so many oldschool songs for the first time in such a short amount of time, i love it.
I never heard this song or knew about this artist. I will go look for more by him. Thank you for introducing me to this singer.
Wendy Grant I don’t want to sound dramatic but your life is about to change !
Look for interviews about the song. For a straight young male artist to make a video empathetic to gays to go with a song that never had anything to do with the LGBTQ community, was pretty epic.
gay people take unfair beatings all the time, good on Hozier for bring awareness. Boo to people that judge other people like that.
C'mon....you can do better than "boo"!.....sometimes the "f" word is appropriate!
That is the most “Amen” type of statement ..
gary simon why
@DevinPeirce hard to answer that in a short blurb but I'll try.....intolerance of people who live lifestyles different than what you think is "right" is a human flaw that needs to be suppressed.....it is the cause of most of the world's problems.....this intolerance transcends into religion, politics and sociological issues....if you wanna form a hate group of any kind, it ain't hard to find other like-minded people to join....and that's when the problems begin!
gary simon maybe they’re pretty young
Good job, guys. Another one that I (an "old person") looked into just because Hozier is an Irish songwriter-singer. It was original and outspoken, making me a Hozier fan for life. Too many of us stop listening to music at a certain stage of our lives, like we pick a hairdo and keep it for 60 years. Nothing illegal about either choice, but so much new enjoyment can be missed that way. Glad you are experiencing such a full range of music and sharing that range with others.
I found your channel while watching reactions to Johnny Cash "Hurt". I love the passion that you showed for it, then I say that you both had reviewed this video, and let me say WOW, so proud to see the younger generation having an emotional and heartfelt reaction!!! Keep your minds open, your emotions free and the power of positivity in your soul! Kudos to both of you and I am going to make sure to watch your videos past to now! ♥♥♥♥♥
You said: he didn’t even let us get ready tho!! I said the same thing the first time I heard it! I knew it was gonna blow up. This was a beautiful, honest reaction. You guys are helping me get through this year we call 2020. 🙏
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Violent hate crimes against gay people happen all over the world unfortunately, but when this video was made, gay people in Russia were being particularly persecuted, beaten, jailed and killed. If you notice, when there are people marching on the tv in the video, the writing on the banner is in Russian, so this was meant to address the terrible things happening to LGBT persons there in particular.
Really nice reaction, guys! You continue to show us what wonderful heart and souls y'all have :)
b00jen, thank you for this information. I can appreciate the message far better now knowing just what was up. Powerful video.
Uganda 🇺🇬 was passing a kill THE gays, LGBTQIA, Bill it also said if you keep a secret of someone you could serve five years. USA still has such hate esp people who are trans. ❤️ 🏳️🌈
Indeed, Sergei Polunin did a beautiful dance in this video before he went completely off the walls insane
@@joannaglasby2596 that was an unforgettable performance.
Thank you! I had no idea!
If you guys liked this song, check out Hozier’s “Nina Cried Power”. So beautiful.
Also..
Is it called "Stave?:
Whew...
Ooo yes, I 2nd this, Nina Crowed Power is incredible!!
oh yes that song is so beautiful! my favourite hozier song
Can’t get enough of your videos! Love what you’re doing. I remember the first time someone played this for me b/c of my last name. A beautiful, heart wrenching song.
Is this the song you’ve listened to most intently? You guys were so into it! It’s one of my favs so I’m glad you loved it
This song is about the importance of love over hate. Love for another person should be seen as the preferred option over hate, whether from the church, the government or an individual. One of the messages in the video is that if the image of two men kissing offends you more than the image of threats or violence then you need to look at your own morals, beliefs and values and decide whether you want to change for a better future. A beautiful song, voice and music describing a scary reality for many.
🙏❤️
I get the goosebumps every time! This song is so intelligent, deep and profound.
MY son is gay and this song just makes me cry. Everyone should be accepted for who they are. Thanks for playing this!
Hozier: "Growing up, I always saw the hypocrisy of the Catholic church", Hozier said in an interview with . "The history speaks for itself and I grew incredibly frustrated and angry. I essentially just put that into my words."
In Ireland as kids we don't go to church we get taken to church......
Sad that Hozier was poorly catechized. There is so much truth, beauty, and mercy waiting in the Holy Catholic Church. That mortal men in the hierarchy have sinned is to be expected and does nothing to lessen the truth of what Christ established. We all just want to live on our own terms, not God's. I pray that Hozier and all others return home to the faith where they can find pardon and everlasting happiness.
@@paula45870 However, until your faith accepts the gay kiss, repudiates the paedophile in the church, and gets out of bed with life after death to live in the here and now, I'd say they should stay away, and be pardoned and have happiness every day.
Im glad pope francis changed this
@@paula45870 pardon for What?
