I always come away from Hozier music with a reading list of poetry and literature. Thank you, Andrew, for thr broadened horizons and reading lists that never fail to inspire my darkest corners of creation
Does anybody have a collection of all the references, connected with the songs? I would love to explore them and have them all compiled in one place :)
dude......... the gaelic lyrics talking about a metamorphosis at the point of the song where it transitions seamlessly into de selby part 2..................... fuck yes i love this album so much
@@bronwynmcfarlane7323 amazing! I saw him at Cardiff Castle not long before his AllyPally gig and it was insanely good even without De Selby so I can't even imagine 😍
I think De Selby Pt 1 is among the greatest songs of all time. How he taps into the soul there is beyond words. People in 1000 years time will still be talking about this song, that’s how powerful it is🙏
i could listen to him talk for hours.. and im so grateful for the ability to listen to hours of his music whenever i please. i cannot wait to see him (in less than a month!!) beyond excited for part 1. i often feel "kind of part genius, part lunatic." every album, and single, of his seems to find my ears exactly when i need it.
I love Hozier’s music, but my favorite thing about him is his love for literature and poetry. You can also feel it in his lyrics and I think a great chunk of his fans are lovers of literature. Most people appreciate the sound of music most and I do greatly appreciate it, but I have always been most impacted by lyrics. To me, it is the most important part of a song. The better the lyrics, the more precious that song is in my life. It’s why Hozier is probably my favorite music artist. Both the sound of his music and the lyrics of his music are phenomenal enough to impact you deeply.
I honestly have to say that I have been waiting with baited breath for this new Album. and after spending the morning here in sunny Johannesburg South Africa, I have come to the realization that you are my favorite Male musician/artist. It's you Hozier and Florence and the Machine, now imagine that as a collab. In a perfect world, that collaboration would come to South Africa to play a few shows! I Absolutely love the new album. Thank you for singing to my soul today.
i haven't heard de selby pt1 in it's studio version, and it has already distroyed me, like, wow, I cna't even put it into words, thsi relation with darkes, being blissful of the world arround you, and andrew talking in Iris Gaelic, please, I'm about to spontaneously combust. I'm going to die with this album
ok well this song made no sense to me at first but now that i've looked into it HOLY SHIT ITS AMAZING??? i love his music but i hate that being stupid limits my appreciation and understanding of the songs (also the part at the end in gaelic made me want to cry, it was so beautiful! it's the first time i've heard gaelic ever and i was so stunned)
I’ve never seen ANYTHING before that has my birth name in or on it, so imagine my surprise when Hozier releases not one but two songs with Selby as part of the name!! My family is Irish and Scottish and I always knew it was an old family name, but it never really set in the history it has ❤ So excited to listen to the whole album!!!
De Selby kind of reminds me of a similar character in arabic litterature called Abu Huraira. He goes on a journey to try and understannd the meaning of the world.
This song / these songs are currently on my heavy rotation. Such a great album! Hozier's voice is so calming, both singing and speaking, and he's handsome too.
I'm a Christian, and God has been speaking to me through your music you are a lifesavor thank you for all you provide for your fans. My brother is your hugest fan we live in Iowa.
I thought I was the only one listening to these songs on repeat, every fucking day. I'm in love with them and how amazing Hozier and his lyrics are, damn ❤
I adore both of these songs, going to paint a canvas today with the gaelic lyrics on it today 🌱🍀 so I can see them everyday and try and pronounce them correctly haha
Shar and Selune have entered the chat. In all seriousness though thank you so much Andrew for writing such compelling songs and helping me through hard times and good times alike.
🌟I’m an obsessed fan of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ so ‘The Third Policeman’ sounds super fascinating. It’s weird that I’ve never heard of it. I read so many comparatives on it (Alice), I would think someone would have referenced it by now - well, on that note, I guess somebody did…😉💫
Could we get proper closed captions and not just the automated ones, pretty please? Native English speakers just casually expecting everyone will understand them enough to spot where the automated transcription made an error and get the sentence correctly feels like a death of thousand papercuts some days...
I thought I was having a stroke and I no longer understood English until I realised he was speaking in Gaelic asdhasdkhj you go you funky little irish gremlin
Same! I was reading comments and just kinda enjoying the sound of his voice when he switched languages and I thought my brain was glitching for a second.
Yeah that would explain a lot.. Everyone is so hyped about him and I don't want to be the troll in the comments, but come on... what the hell did I just watch...
Idk I don’t think doing hallucinogenic drugs is necessary to get into this line of thinking. I feel like these themes are explored in most philosophy classes (I had to take one as a context credit in my first year of uni lol).
Haha! Possibly he took some form of plant medicine last year away on a vacation he mentioned, (possibly not) but he's also always approached the world in this same thoughtful cerebral curious and poetric way where things are deeply considered, thoughts are experienced through finding your own connections (not merely reading someone else's thoughts), and conclusions are delightfully sampled, tasted and arrived at. As an artist, he's not one to walk around the world half in a coma, eyes shut to all the delights (and horrors) to be seen and understood, when they are infinite in amount. Meaning and intent is a very important anchor to an artist in general, and he carefully and deliberately crafts his work with things that may provide reflection, or be useful, or are buoyant, or provide a collective understanding of our shared place in the strange zeitgeist we find ourselves in. I think the fact that he's Irish also means that he's been encouraged to think poetically and actively about things in general, and to find great reverence for, and meaning in the Arts, more especially literature and poetry. That tiny astounding country of just 5 million has a rich legacy of finding meaning and value through the land, music and storytelling. ;) But yeah, this guy-- he's lovely hey? :)

@@avocadosuppe i would love to have it too! it would be so cool
@@avocadosuppei support so much the creation of this
dude......... the gaelic lyrics talking about a metamorphosis at the point of the song where it transitions seamlessly into de selby part 2..................... fuck yes i love this album so much
Can't wait to hear these back to back on the album... and repeat them an obscene amount of times 😂 2 more days!!
He played part 1&2 at the Alexandra Palace gig and it was super intense !! Can't wait to hear the full thing again.
@@bronwynmcfarlane7323 amazing! I saw him at Cardiff Castle not long before his AllyPally gig and it was insanely good even without De Selby so I can't even imagine 😍
Am doing that right now
already on it.😂
I think De Selby Pt 1 is among the greatest songs of all time. How he taps into the soul there is beyond words. People in 1000 years time will still be talking about this song, that’s how powerful it is🙏
Have to agree, the ending of that song could be played in 200 years and still be hauntingly beautiful
He’s so awkwardly adorable, I just want to give him a big hug.
You can’t understand the level of obsession I have with these two songs back to back.
I love the experimentation with the sounds in the selby part 2, i freaking love it
Fantastic...my best of him at the moment!! 🤩🤩
The freedom of darkness - this is a powerful trope for the descent into the circles of Hell. Can't wait for this album.
thank you hozier for sharing your art, gratitude for your existence.
The way ‘no closer could I be to god’ has been in the back of my mind for WEEKS this song shook me in a real way
his mind is so powerful
Ikr

I cannot wait for a Hozier song in Irish! I’m a little emotional about it haha
always a treat to know what inspired the lyrical poetry.
Deeply in love with this man’s intellect
He has such a beautiful mind I love how he can break my heart while wearing funky socks and high tops
I love you andrew the entire lore of your albums are so beautifully constructed 💯💯
Yo same pfp!

he has said before that he would love to collab with Florence 🤧🤧 and his cover of cosmic love! aaa it would be life changing fr
Someone start a petition to make him add SA to the world tour.
I would die!!
If I had Hozier as a Math teacher, he explains everything so well and and so calm❤️❤️❤️
Mentally preparing for the emotional tidal wave that is to come
How you doing!?
man I wish Hozier was real 😩
he is...
@@CristianoCartoons this ageless poetic majestic being?
nah he's literally too good to be true

There are still artists in this era.
This man’s beautiful mind…can’t wait for the album!
He is just purely a precious and beautiful man 🙂🎼🎵🎶❤️
Andy, this album is going to be my favourite for years and years. ❤️
Very much the same!
I love it as well! So beautiful 😍
I love that Hozier is a true artist & storyteller, taking inspiration from classic music & literature
i could watch these all day everyday
Such genius. Can’t wait for the album!!
De Selby pt 2. Is another repeat song which I love. I can’t stop listening to it. Very funky
The music video was incredible! This is my new favorite song
This song just arises something in me. Super excited for this autumn season with this album in the background!
I'm a Christian, and God has been speaking to me through your music you are a lifesavor thank you for all you provide for your fans. My brother is your hugest fan we live in Iowa.
I thought I was the only one listening to these songs on repeat, every fucking day. I'm in love with them and how amazing Hozier and his lyrics are, damn ❤
What a beautiful explanation, love part 2 so much!!! My preferred! So 80's-isch😍
I can't wait to hear the album. Thank you for sharing your art with us. With love from Russia ❤
These two parts are perfection. I love the intimate part and the funky one. And I love his explanations. We are so blessed having Andrew among us 😊
Hozierrrr we need a whole album in Irish please
I was *just* wondering if hozier knows any Irish language/Gaelic, such a beautiful language!
You are poetry🖤
Two forces clashing/ crashing like thunder and lighting in darkness⛈⚡💚
This has got to my favorite song from the new releases so far. It just reaches something in you.
Oh my god i cannot wait for part 1 now
Woooowww such a interesting creative process!!
Hoziers like Yeh happy with it... Um it's only bloody brilliant! 🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Ma quanto sei bravo tu e tutti quelli che hanno collaborato al video❤
I knew he understood god, there's no other way one can sing with so much soul.
Fantástico, fantástico. Excelente. Bravo 👏👏👏
Emocionante né amiga .
I adore both of these songs, going to paint a canvas today with the gaelic lyrics on it today 🌱🍀 so I can see them everyday and try and pronounce them correctly haha
The third policeman is my favorite book, I am so glad that Hozier made a song inspired by it!
both are so so beautiful
Omgggg it’s the same as I thought 😮❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing! Thank u! ❤❤❤
Shar and Selune have entered the chat. In all seriousness though thank you so much Andrew for writing such compelling songs and helping me through hard times and good times alike.
your mind.. ❤❤❤
Oh!!!! I didnt knew this!!!!
i had to watch this three times to hear what he was talking about… god bless
Amazing 🥰
You, quite literally, NEVER cease to amaze. Thank you so much and job extremely and otherworldly well done!
De Shelby 1 is in Gaelic? Oh yeah this album is going to murder me
Anyone else's mind go to Victor Frankenstein when he described someone as both a "genius" and "lunatic"
ждём альбом с нетерпением
Thank you more🎶🌈🌻
Thank u so very much for sharing this!
You're the best.
I need to see this man groove at some point 😊🥰
So interesting! And by the way De Selby 2 is my total favorite ❤
Bellissimo questo pezzo, Andrew Hozier
Sorridi pero😊❤❤❤❤❤
god i can't wait for my vinyl to ship
i love him so much im physically ill
This is my mindset

Most times i don’t understand what Andrew is talking about but i agree. Cos he’s probably right
❤❤❤❤❤

💚💚💚💚
Us Irish speaking fans are going to go feral for de Shelby pt 1 I can't wait 1:52
Realized midway through that him and I are wearing the same socks
♥️🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪
🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽❤❤❤
Hozier is Orpheus himself reincarnated
I hope Hozier and my ultimate crush Dua Lipa will cross paths to make a song in the future, to do a collab💯🎤🎼 that would be a massive explosion
I love the whole album and the 2 songs. I have an issue with what god created and seem not be able to forgive what he has done.
I’ll save myself*
Mente Brilhante Andrew Hozier 💖👌👌👌 Grata 🙏🙏
Part genisus part lunitic
Isn't that usually the case
I absolutely love this guy's music and poetic sense, but I'd lay money on him having done ayahuasca, LSD, something in that direction... 👍👍
Yeah that would explain a lot.. Everyone is so hyped about him and I don't want to be the troll in the comments, but come on... what the hell did I just watch...

Am I the only one who’s been pronouncing it “Shelby” 🥺 for some reason
