Take Me To Church is one of those rare songs that I consider perfect. The instrumental, the lyrics and how Hozier sings them, the meaning and story behind it... everything. Love it deeply
@@StephenTravers-vu2vj I looked further into it. What I found is that it's about being gay and not accepted by society. Hence saying they were "born sick," and constantly oppressed by religious folk.
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's 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 A-, 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 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 so you can sharpen your knife Offer me my 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 so you can sharpen your knife Offer me my 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 Oh, oh, 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
I remember making my mom play this song in the car when I was young and I called it “the dog song” and I thought the picture was scary but now I think it’s cool
The song is about the church being oppressive and controlling, it's not about being ostracised for being gay though that's a decent interpretation. The song is abut a man comparing his lover to the church because Hozier grew up under the Protestant Quaker faith which he felt heavily controlled Ireland.@@realcrownedcryptid
Omg I loved this as a kid then I forgot about it until tonight because my sister's phone played it I was like what song is this then it said take me to church I was like omg I loved this as a kid
@@sirpetree This song is about how the Church mistreats The LGBTQ+ community, the creator of the song himself has confirmed this. If you don't beleive me, look it up.

One of the craziest parts of growing up is listening to the songs you used to love and realizing the deeper meaning behind them
8 years later and this song still slaps
For real
can't help but blast it full volume, hope my neighbors like it too
It's about jesus

@@StephenTravers-vu2vj no its about lgbt christians facing persecution
9 years later, still fire 🔥
This is first of many amazing songs from Hozier .so happy he is being recognised for the true artist that he is
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's 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
A-, 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
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 so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my 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 so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my 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
Oh, oh, 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
thank u
I was wondering... Why the singer is saying "she" for his lover since his lover is a man (we can see it in the clip) ?
Pleasure in displeasure.
Listening this right after "Daylight" and holy helllllll...
I missed this song.
Nearly 9 years later and it still hits hard
Such a wonderful song
No, I didn't mean it like THAT, I'm straight
It's dope
@@8bitgdhaxz this is an absolute horrible response when taking into consideration that the MV was criticizing the Church’s homophobia 😂
absolutely perfect
I remember making my mom play this song in the car when I was young and I called it “the dog song” and I thought the picture was scary but now I think it’s cool
Omg same I thought I was the only one, I always got scared cuz I thought it was about and a scary dog or sum
I had a song I called "The Zoo song" I forgot what the actual song was sadly 🥲
Es respetable escucharlo así
This song in 2024 still a banger
I will always love this song, it bring me joy ❤
It’ll never change

Correct 💯

I came back to this song because its canon in Good Omens that Crowley (a demon) listens to this 😢
And the song is about being ostracised by a church for being gay. Could this say something about he and Aziraphale...?
@@realcrownedcryptid yassss
@@realcrownedcryptidABSOLUTELY.
@@realcrownedcryptid I mean just look at S2 Finale haha

That's... Not what this song is about...
@@NicoleTyrneyMoore what about the lyrics?

Wtf is this comment section
A bunch of people who don't understand the lyrics lmao
And idiots, I guess. Had to look further, I am now dumber for it.

Nice
Who else thinks this would make a good Superboy MV?

I get it. Its still lies
As a fellow follower, we don’t really have the best history…
Hmmm
2024 anyone 😂😂
thx now i can listen without seeing gay man kissing
That the only reason I listened to the music video
He supports the LGBTQ btw
this song is abt them weirdo
@@anianiani008I dont speak english so whatever
This is sad. The church spat on him and did such a bad job preaching that he needed a LOVER to make himself feel needed and loved by a bigger entity
Fuck, no take me to church!!
this song really isn't about anything blah blah.. good for you, singer
Cope
The song is very deep and mocks christianity, I wish I didn't sing along to it as a kid but i didn't know.
Cope
I mean yeah the church has damaged a lot of people
create an actually loving faith then. boom, problem solved.
Cope harder
(Erm actually 🤓☝️) it’s the Catholics acts of hate
