"There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin." Hurts. It just hits home. The most intimate and wondrous act you can share with another human being and they're about to be hurt for it.
That line made me tear up, not gonna lie. I understood immediately...
This song is SO deep but a lot of people didn't give the song a chance because of the video. The lyrics are DOPE!
The Video and Lyrics was too dark for the Business...
There was no reason for the video considering the lyrics don’t match. That triggered me enough to not give it a chance either, obvious pandering is obvious.
@@GeneTheDude obvious troll lmao
@@labradude did my statement not make any sense? The song literally has gendered language about an unhealthy straight relationship and yet the video is some nonsense about a healthy yet forbidden homosexual relationship. It ruined the point of the song
@@GeneTheDude The singer wrote the song, if he didn’t mean for it to be interpreted that way he wouldn’t have approved of the music video (or actually suggested it) especially since it’s considered ‘controversial’ for its message in times of violent crimes against the LGBTQ+ in Russia. You did not even try to break down the lyrics, because you’re so triggered the fact that the video portrays a gay couple. This song can have various interpretations, for example the one in the music video where a gay couple is vilified and targeted for their relationship. “I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies” “I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife” “Worship in the bedroom” “There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin” is exactly what can be interpreted that way. But you go as far as to say that the video RUINED the song for you. I’m sorry but that’s your own hate and prejudice. If you really appreciated music, it wouldn’t matter if it was about a straight couple or a gay couple and other people having different interpretations wouldn’t get your panties in a twist.
It's a depiction of gay life in eastern europe, russia, where this happens every day. If you notice the symbolism of the plane representing freedom and the ability to escape. Thanks for doing this. You have gay followers too that lobe your reactions.
It’s about Ireland, although it can be applied to anywhere that gay people are demonised like Russia and parts of Eastern Europe
@@davidmarwood775 If this happens in Ireland please show me proof cause I find that very hard to believe. You all are way off this goes on in India.
@@sodone4078 - It happens ALL OVER THE WORLD. Google Matthew Sheperd.
this doesn't happen everyday lol. nobody is dragging gay people by the legs into the woods 🤦♂️
@@Ruebz_f30 it actually does happen in eastern europe and middle east.
Y’all have great hearts. Unfortunately some people use church as an excuse to do wrong.
Sadly that's most religious folks. Religion has been used as a weapon from the start.
@@dejavu2724 I didn’t want to generalize but I do agree with you
Humanity misusing religion to spread hate. Brings to mind the Gandhi quote: “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
@@LordRahl1975 exactly!!!
Wars have been launched because of the church Billions of deaths caused by the church over the centuries, it doesnt provide absolution the church provides hate fear mongering, Zionism, and homophobia and gay bashing
The video gets me every time! Sadly, a similar thing happened to my best friend's uncle. Him and his partner were coming out of a restaurant/bar and were holding hands or something, when a couple of guys noticed and attacked them. Her uncle had to be put in the ICU because it was so bad.
Absolutely heartbreaking. Just hearing about it, at that. No one should have to experience that. All because they love someone.
I used to work with a guy that was gay, genuinely lovely bloke, and after months of working with him we finally found out that most days on his way home there'd be a bunch of lads waiting for him to attack him, spit on him, shout shit at him. Enough to really fuck him up but not leave any marks you know. One of the days they gave him a black eye though so that's how we found out about it.
We were furious, this was a friend of ours, and a good friend at that, he was the kinda bloke that would go outta his way to help you out you know. We offered to walk him home, whichever of us that would finish at the same times as him, me and a bunch of others, the security guards too. We were big fellas like, I was a bouncer too on weekends at the time, so at the very least it'd act as a deterrent, but he declined though appreciative making a good point that it'd only cause more trouble for him for times when we weren't around and that it was just something he was used to anyway. No one should have to be "used to" that kind of treatment. But we had to respect his wishes.
Still upsets me to this day to even think that people could treat someone like that for such a petty reason!
@@Gazzl33t I don't know you but I sooooooo appreciate you! People from when I was 13 and up (I'm 47 now) would always ask me why I walked with my head down or wouldn't respond if someone called my name. I told them that in my head if I didn't make eye contact with anyone then I wouldn't get beat up or harassed. I still find myself doing it still from time to time but have pretty much broken myself out of it. Every once in a while I guess the world gives me a reminder how some people suck when someone yells "fagott" at me. I remember I was like 6 or 7 and my Aunt Arlene's last 2 days of high school she brought me with her. Her best friend was gay and I had a blast cuz he'd sit and color with me and he was going to go to college for art in N.Y., this was like 1980 or 81. I found out a few years ago when I asked her what ever happened to him and she said not even 3 months after high school ended he was murdered in N.Y.. By the way, the school was in Windsor Vermont, USA. She said he was walking home from work and was jumped by 3 "men" for being gay and beat to death with 2 baseball bats and a lead pipe. Actually that has ALWAYS been my biggest fear, is to be killed for being gay.
You missed the point of the song title. The point was how the church stabs you in the back when you confess your “sins”
He is also talking about his own church that tells him to worship in the bedroom where there is no masters and kings...
You wouldn’t need this if you knew what Jesus did
@@DanielELnabbout Sure. “Jesus” helped and treated everybody with humanity and kindness. The people that society abused and left forgotten. And yet the followers of “Jesus” nowadays are the hateful abusive ones, with a lack of human compassion and a zeal for the repression of anyone that’s different. Using the bible to cherry pick their hatred from.
@@DanielELnabbout you, sir, are part of the problem.
@@heavyrules6699 it also means that's all you got..only heaven you'll ever get..😥😥.
I love this. My high school best friend (Years ago now) got kicked out by his family for being gay and my parents had been homophobic "It's against God" people before that, but the day he showed up at our house cause he had nowhere to go, they almost instantly went "There is nothing wrong with you, we love you". It's so much easier to love than hate. That's why my brother (a lot younger, he was born 10 years after me) was never scared to go "Hey can I buy a skirt?" to them. He's bisexual like me, not a girl, but he just likes his long pretty blonde hair and wearing skirts and always paints his nails, and he felt safe because my parents only needed one instance of a kid they cared about being turned out in the cold cause he had a boyfriend to go "Yeah no. None of that." I loved this reaction because you said it just like it should be. That nobody should hurt somebody for being different.
there's no hate like Christian love
I love how you you guys were disturbed + amazed by this song. That is how you exactly suppose to feel when you have a good heart. Bless you guys.
This song is pure truth, on so many different levels.
I love you two so much. Your sentiments at the end, I echo. I am a very very avid straight supporter of the LGBTQ community and it still pains me that they aren’t just treated equally universally. It sucks that this still goes on in the world. It makes me feel a bit better that there are people like you guys in it. Keep up what you guys are doing. You’re awesome!
Seriously? The guy obviously feel uncomfortable with the scenes when they kissed ....
I can even say that he didn't "approved it" but got to show himself "supportive"
Hoozier was in the year below me in the same school. Amazingly talented dude. You could easily do a lyric breakdown of all the meanings you can interpret behind the words.
Hozier said that he grew up getting very tired of Catholic hypocrisy
Hozier was not a Catholic he was church of Ireland
@@bluesetanta Actually, his parents were both catholic, but converted to the quaker faith, under which he was raised. Hozier defines himself as agnostic.
I wonder when the day will come that seeing two men kiss, show passion and love for each other as human beings won’t be something so shocking. That video was so powerful and real. This is why we celebrate Pride Month. This is why you see rainbow flags. Our trans brothers and sisters are killed at an astonishing rate especially those out black and brown friends. Love is not something that should be shocking or judged. Peace, love, and respect.
As a bisexual man.
I do not support pride month, nor lgbtq community.
The lgbtq community who are supposedly kind and accepting have many people within who don't seem such.
I disagree with alot of lgbtq members political values aswell.
Your sexuality should not be your personality.
Imms just say that.
Not to mention the many Trans people out there who believe in such a deluded thing.
You shouldn't be support pride of being of alt sexuality.
There's no reason to have a month dedicated to it just for people to use it to push their agendas and for cooperationns to use it as a marketing strategy.
Already at that place, have gay friend
@@theeggthatsurvivedhowtobas778 i feel like you just said ur bisexual to make what u said after that sound better. u obvi dont understand why we have a month. do some research and educate yourself. maybe u never had to d4eal with descrimination just because of who you love but that does not mean it dies not happen. we have a whole month to spread awarness and u said are seuality should not be are personality but are personality can be whatever we want it to be.
@@connorplushproductions491 you just upset that their are people of alt sexualities thst dont fall for lgbtq agendas and propoganda.
We arent descriminated againts by the majority, not anymore and definetley not in a country as free as america with half of our population being mindlessly woke and brittle. As dave chappelle once said "i like em old school gays, these newet ones, they too brittle" also people eith different values who respect your rights to live while disagreeing with the idea of same sex relationship isnt discrimination, just deal with the fact that sone people have different values.
As many of my conservstive buddies say "we respect othets vslues as long as they dont force it onto us".
Personally for me i believe in a mix of liberal and conservative values but im also republican.
And yes, i am bisexual, i cane this conclusion when i met a femboy and he got me bricked up 🤣😂.
I believe people have the right to be trans but i dont agree with it until they turn at least 18-25 when is which brains fully develope.
But i also live in reality enough to realize a trans man can never truly be a man and a trans woman can never be a true woman.
I respect religous people as long as they dont use religion as an excuse for everything or abuse their religious beliefs.
And yes your personslity can be what you want it to br as long as your not basing it soley off of your sexual preferences.
Also i still aint an adult quite yet so you can say my brain just isnt developed to quite understand but ill disagree to any statement of such.
Also excuse any typos i aint feel like going back and fixing all of it.
Preach!
Everyone's like "yeah..take me to church" at the start of the song....then the reality of the song unfolds and its open mouthed silence. That's powerful music and imagery.
I've heard this song a million times but never seen the video until now. As a gay man I'm sitting here crying my eyes out. Powerful video. Love is Love.
Thank you. Thanks for watching and reacting to this video/song. I’m a gay man. I’ve been with my partner for almost 27 years and we have raised a family that includes 5 grandchildren now. This hits very close to home as it has not been an easy life for us and other marginalized people we know. We don’t want special treatment but we don’t want to be murdered, either. Again, thanks for your words of support; hearing you say them brought grateful tears to my eyes.
That is amazing Joe. I wish my uncle had the same he would have been a great dad. He's now 61 and been with his partner 30 yrs but they both have incredible ptsd from yrs and yrs of abuse and hate from small minded people and now they're like hermits it's sad.
@@lucylou780, thank you for your reply to my comment. It’s heartbreaking to hear about your uncle and his partner. I can understand how this can happen over the course of one’s life. As I’m a praying kind of guy I’ll keep them in my nighttime prayers. Again, thank you for sharing.
@@joemoore9347 thankyou Joe I'm very sure they would accept your lovely words and prayers. I will pray for a time when it's accepted by everyone to be who you want to be and choose how to live your life 🙏 tysm xx
As someone who is bisexual and no one knows but a few friends not even family. This can definitely be a reality for some people even right here in the USA. I live in a, well let's say, Southern State and if any of my family actually knew they would disown me and probably never speak to me again. It is hard to live with, but what they don't know wouldn't hurt them. I'm glad you guys reacted to this, hope to see more LGBTQ+ reactions in the future! 💗
I saw Hozier in concert at Radio City Music Hall in NYC and it was the most profound experience. His lyrics are all poetry and very deep.
I saw in in NC and Seattle, absolutely the best artist I've seen in concert. His voice is powerful, and his soul shines through when he performs! He's actually better in concert than on CD!
Irish! That's all the explanation you need.
If you want a TRULY heartbreaking song by Hozier, check out “Cherry Wine.” One of the most perfect examples of “beautiful pain” I think I’ve ever heard.
I second this
Cherry wine is incredible
You guys are BEAUTIFUL 😔 THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT
"I WAS BORN SICK.. BUT I LOVE IT. COMMAND ME TO BE WELL. AMEN" 💜🙏💜
His voice is fantastic and such a deep song. Thanks, guys!
Great reaction. Powerful song. You don't have to agree or approve to recognize that NO ONE should be treated like this.
Fantastic album and artists. This song in particular is tough, but in name of God so many many crimes have been committed. People have no idea that as long as they are not able to love all, they will never represent god. Anyways, thank you again for your awesome reactions!! Glad your fanbase gets to see quality music with important messages :-) Hozier only puts out great music, please tell me you know Nina cried Power!!
This reaction is beautiful. Thank you. ❤️ we need more of this compassion.
Another great song from Hozier is Arsonist’s Lullaby. Take Me to Church deals with society’s ills, I think Arsonist’s Lullaby deals more with that dark side it seems we all have and try to control. “don’t ever tame your demons but always keep them on a leash” is one of the best lines from a song ever. Nina Cried Power is another banger about people who used their music for the advancement of civil rights. Nina in the song is civil rights activist Nina Simone. It’s a powerful and great song.
You witnessed the hatred in some people's hearts. Just because you disagree with someone else's lifestyle, gives you no reason to judge. If you're a true Christian, you don't agree with it, yet we pray for all. Sitting in judgement is not our job. I love everyone. God bless us all
Amen. God is Love, which means He has NO HATE in Him Even if you believe it's wrong, there should NEVER be any hate thrown at anyone. God does NOT sanction that crap. No Hate
@Debbie Hitt, beautifully and succinctly stated. When this sixty-year-old man grows up one day, I hope I learn how to put things as simply without writing a six-page dissertation as I did further down. Thank you. 💌
true xtians are not good people
They say these things to children. thank you for the kind perspective. This is reality for many of us. It takes a lifetime to recover your power.
Burying the chest symbolized hiding their secret. When he saw it dug up, it meant the secret was out. Burning it symbolized burning the man.
As a straight, white male, I can’t say that I’ve ever really been the victim of much discrimination. My fiancée, however, is black. And we live in a very conservative state (Kentucky).
I’ve seen the kind of stuff that she has to go through on an almost daily basis, however, and I find myself equally embarrassed and livid.
So I choose to be an ally. I may not know what it feels like to be marginalized and discriminated against, but I will fight to keep others from having to feel that way.
Straight white males can’t face any discrimination ever. Women can. LGBTQ+ can. Poc can. But never straight white males. I understand what ur saying tho.
@@heartbreakhotel4278 this is false, but I also understand what you’re saying
THANK YOU
You two deserve a wonderful life together! We are also white, in NC. Our oldest son just married a wonderful, loving, smart black woman. She is an awesome addition to our family and so is their new baby girl!!!! Let somebody say some evil racist shit in front of this old broad, see where it gets em. You be proud and don't listen to negativity. Blessings and love to you both!
@@heartbreakhotel4278 they can, especially in non-white countries.
Thanks for... ‘getting it’. That’s reality for guys/gals like me....hard to be your own self. Well thanks for getting a glimpse at least. ❤️🇨🇦🤓. You’re both so cheery at the start...I’m like wait... then ur faces at the end....sorry. Happy Mother’s Day Mel! Plus don’t forget black people used to killed the exact same way...I think about others too, no one is so special, xx
I have never commented on reaction videos until now. I’m gay and from Chicago. I have lived with the fear of being gay since 1978 as an 8 yr old. I grew up in the heart of what is now Boys Town on Halsted st. back when it was a ghetto. I remember seeing the violence perpetrated by the community and the police upon the Gays. I was illegal to be gay and you would go to jail or they would just kill you and leave you on the streets.I hid in the straight community until 2009( when I came out )because of the horrors I saw as a kid. This song and your reactions to it gives hope to us who struggle with our sexuality because you see our greatest fear and have compassion towards it. Thank you for your kind words.
Love, love this song. Thank you so much for watching - I know it's a difficult video to watch, but people need to see and hear it.
The song was written as a protest and expose on the anti-LGBT attacks in Russia during the time.
So sad when people won’t live and let live, love is love and it’s not up to us who the next person is loving!!!! Love everyone as God loves us
Sorry but you can’t bring god into this discussion. It clearly says in the bible that all homosexuals should be put to death. As an atheist I obviously don’t agree with that but that’s what it says. 😲
@@shifterbbr1986 The bible says so many things that we no longer consider relevant. According to the bible, unruly youth should be stoned to death by the village elders, wearing clothes of different fabric or eating shellfish is an abomination to god, when a husband dies, his brother has to marry the widow, etc. Christians are very selective in interpreting the bible...
@@afhdfh You are correct, I’m aware of those things in the bible. It makes you wonder how many Christians actually read the book they’re meant to follow.
You're book is fictional rubbish
@@runrabbit8285 and so is ur opinion on my post....God bless u
Thank you for reacting to this. It’s powerful and it’s a reality for too many people. ❤
The depth of this song is unbelievably beautiful
so sad 😔💔🥀 it needs no words 😔💔live free . it's s your life . The best for all beautiful people in the world who have to experience exclusion,persecution ,racism and fascism.
✊stay strong .stay on your way ✊full solidarity ✊we all Humans ❤️
Made me cry when I first seen the video. So horrible 😢 I'm here to say God loves us all & the whole God doesn't love those who love the same sex is so false. What God doesn't condone is hate, judgment & violence. ❤ Love yourself & who you want to love & don't be afraid of God & don't treat anyone differently or badly because of who they choose to love.. #GodIsLove ❤
Amen to this! Thank you so much for spreading love and truth. We couldn't agree with you more.
@@ShawnandMel4Life ❤ So much going on right now in the world. God has been taken out due to fear when that is who we need the most. The fear of not being loved or hated by God & going to hell is so real. The Bible verses are chicken pecked to condon judgment of others. I won't get all biblical lol but We are all created in God's image & I think if we all were to seek him, it is then we as people can come together & heal. Love your channel so much.❤ God bless you both 🙏
I cry every single time I see this video
@@christineyacono977 I know same here. It's so heartbreaking to see.
Amen! Its a common misconception about Christians. I don't judge anyone because I know I'm not perfect myself. I only want happiness and peace for every living person because we were all beautifully, wonderfully and uniquely made in his image!
Heartbreaking 100%. I cry every time I watch this video. 😭
Doubt it, otherwise your probably unstable
@@joesmith3098 Possibly...but at least I’m not an asshole
@@michellebarry1555 anyone who doesn't cry or at least get emotional watching something like this is pretty much a disgusting excuse for a human being. Probably some 40 year old living in mama's basement trolling RUclips because his life has no meaning.
@@belladonna8425 Thank you ♥️
Seeing the dude cringe every time the guys kissed tells me we have a long way to go. Such a shame
5:24 he was cheering them on?
and 6:08 S&M?
It seemed like he thought it was anti-gay until he started talking and that he was upset about the gay content and not the lynching.
I thought his reaction was so f**ked up and almost no one seem to have noticed that but you.
3:53 raised his arm in support of the petrol bombing the house.
YALL NEED CHURCH DUDES JEFFREY,COOKIE,LEE BOB....
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@Cookie_moonlove 😂🤣
You can want gay people to have rights while still being grossed out seeing them kiss. Nothing against them its just an automatic response for me
Mel, love how your mouth hangs open for 80% of the song. I feel that way every time I hear it.
For Shawn that kept getting that disgusted face look every time he saw two guys kiss...He didn't say "I was born sick", he said, "We were born sick, you heard them say it". Then you have the nerve to say they need church! Really? That's the whole point of this song. Church is where they preach all this hatred against the gay community, and we have to deal with the assault, abuse, attacks or just general ostricizing from people. I was kicked out of my parents home because they found out I was gay. (Jehovah's Witnesses) That was over 30 years ago. (Not blaming all churches but where there's smoke.....)
I can't watch this without weeping for the victims of the hate that seems to never end in this world. Such a beautiful song to depict the cruel ugliness of bigotry.
As the mother of a gay son....this song is so powerful to me....it's a fear every mother has!! 😢
I don't know why people are saying that because he is Irish it must be set in Ireland or about the Catholic church. There is clearly a scene on the tv in the video that shows people walking with banners in Russian or a similar language. This literally happens in Russia and Eastern Europe where gay men are attacked because they thought they were meeting another gay man.
Grateful y'all watched it without stopping to comment. This song gives me the child still every time I hear it. Based on real events...
Music that either freaks you out, makes the tears run, makes you smile, makes you empathize with other.. GIVES YOU GOOSEBUMPS...is some special.
The song and video are so impactful. Your reaction is the same as mine the first time I saw it. Hozier knows how to make us feel.
The struggle is real for blacks, Asians, gays, and any other minority, This song really strikes home.................
I love this two they are so sweet and Mel your beautiful
Yes, always spread unconditional love.Amen.
I'm a 52 yr old gay man every time I watch this I want to cry I'm Australian from Sydney bashed twice because I dare hold my partner at the time he's hand in a mostly gay area of Sydney..it happened more than 10yrs ago but it still affects me..nobody has the right to put their hands on you nobody I will never forgive never..god bless both of you
I’m so sorry this happened to you 😢.
This is really heartbreaking, such a trauma. I understand that this still affects you. It always makes me so angry and frustrated to hear how narrow minded people think they have the right to treat other people. Lots of love from Sweden. 💕
@@stonesandrock1567 you just made me smile thank you
They lyrics really are dope! You are right. The whole video and song is just an experience period. I hope for a world where just being yourself is acceptable by everyone. I mean who else can you be? It’s just that simple.
From deep of my heart and my soul thank you very much for your kind words
Live this song. First time I heard it was this video and I cried.
Great voice and message in this video. Love is love and people who can't see that are are ones who hate themselves and lack self confidence. They are very unhappy people.
This is a really deep song. And I can’t think of anybody else who could sing this better
Everyone always says it's wrong to be gay, just read the Bible. My grandfather was a preacher. He never looked down on anyone. He would always say, "The Bible says not to judge. A sin is a sin in the Lord's eyes." I'm 40. He passed away when i was 5. I wish i could have gotten to know him. He was an amazing person.
I felt the same way as you both did ! It was heartbreaking , you both are beautiful ,much love from Maryland
Just found your channel and I'm loving you guys, your reactions and your energy. Keep it up!! :) Also Mel thank you for reaction to this song and your empathy. Really shows your heart and character.
The lyrics are profound- to me. The unique perspective is making me cry. The video is❤️
You lots reaction when you realised they were gay is EVERYTHING! Thank you for this reaction video.
She gets it.
Mel's reaction made a fan outta me! I knew what was coming in the video and was already getting tears in my eyes, but then when it hit Mel what was going to happen I felt it with her. Ty BOTH for your honest and heartfelt reaction.
Love watching all your reactions, you two are one of my favorite reactors!! I must say I have heard this song at least a hundred times and absolutely one of my favorite songs. That being said... I just like you have never seen the video and had no idea that was what this song was about. I was literally right there with you with what we were watching. 😳 I watch reaction videos for different points of view and different interpretations, but man... Did I ever get a whole different perspective of this song then what I thought all these years. All I can say is we all gotta be better people, and I implore everyone, please please please, for all that is good in this world, stop documenting things with your cell phones sitting idly by while things happen... if you see something going down, step up and step in as if it were your loved one in trouble and in need of help... The only way stuff like this will end is if everybody stands up collectively, takes action and does something about it... I guess all i have to say is love and protect each other!! Keep up the good work you guys!! 💙🔥
I’m straight man and this song elevated my thinking about people in general and my thinking on gay relationships.
I finally understood the struggle after this video. It clicked and it touched my soul.
Irish people got soul 🇮🇪☘️🇵🇸
2:48 see that face,that is exactly what this song is about
❤❤ watched this reaction a few times i love it. Love from Ireland ❤❤❤
Hozier Is one of the most amazing songwriters and singers Ireland has ever turned out. He’s a LGBTQ ally a beautiful soul we need more allies like him. The song is referencing is the Government and church sanctioned violence against the LGBT community that was going on in Russia and still is going on in Russia to this day in many of the former Socialist republics. This address religious lead homophobia around the world
I'm just getting put onto this track after hearing it in the background of so many clips. I finally listened to the lyrics, but that video is super powerful.
Holy shit! Take me to church!
I cant watch this video without crying
I can’t either. It makes my soul hurt.
Things like that are why i care so strongly about LGBT+ issues. No one should have to go through something so traumatizing and life threatening like that, all because they love someone
@@lavenderllamamusic As someone who is apart of the LGBTQ+ community I thank you oh so very much ❤️🏳️🌈
I had to finally say, ya'll are are legit. Your reaction to this showed your heart. My BFF is gay and my Niece is non-binary. Ya'll kick ass.
This song touches me every time I hear it. My son is gay and I’m so blessed to have him in my life and love him more than my own life. His boyfriend is like my other son and this song reminds me that there are ppl out there that will try and harm them even kill them because they love each other. Thank you for your words of love. Maybe it will change one person who might want to hurt someone. Thank you.
Love is love, is love, is love. This video is about hatred of those who are different. The images are jarring, but that happens in this world. Thank you Shawn and Mel for your honest reaction.
Hauntingly beautiful and sad. No. You weren't born sick!
This song is a masterpiece & the video is very very powerful
Never heard this song before. Definitely deep and beautiful. I need to listen again, but without the video. Still too much hatred in the world.
Hey guys! I'm so happy for your compassionate and thoughtful response.
Incredibly powerful video and this song, if you just listen to it with the lyrics on, wow....unbelievably beautiful.
I send Love from over the big pond. Best regards from Germany
You just watched my life!! Hate is alive and doing well!!! JUSAYIN
Love you guys the songs you react to are so diverse, keep it up
I cry every single time I hear this song!
Hozier is my absolute favorite artist of all times. He has the most amazing voice.
Thank you Mel. ❤ Best reaction I've seen.
I agree with you guys 100%. If you think about it we should look to a human beings soul. After all we shuffle off this mortal coil after what 6 to 8 decades. That's not even a single blink of an eye to our eternal souls in regards to eternity. This is why we're all still here, we all still have hate in our hearts in one form or another. We will all keep coming back until we are able to let go of that hate & replace it with love.
This is based off a true story. A man in Russia went to confessional and confessed he was gay. The priest had a gang go after him and they burned him alive. Heartbreaking.
this song always make me want to cry.
Thank you for your support
I LOVE your reaction video.
I love your compassion for other human beings. Homophobia is a product of religious interpretations.
Gay, straight, black, white it doesn't matter.
We are all human......we all live our own life. Nobody should persecute.
Gay people every single day around the world are murdered all in the name of religion.
Bless you both. Thank you for this video.

This song hits hard every time I hear it.
I was told yesterday by a women holding the Christian Bible that I was sinner me am going to burn in hell because I’m gay. The church has hurt so many people.
I love your reactions!
It always hurts my heart as a gay male to see black men in particular react so viscerally to gay men kissing. If anyone should know the feeling of being judged or victimized, it should be them. It may be new to them, but as a group who have been unjustly and regularly persecuted, they should be the biggest and most vocal advocate/defenders of the LGBTQ community. Kudos to Mel for her compassion and reaction to what happens everyday to LGBT people around the world. In many countries they are executed or beheaded for simply being who they were born to be. So sad......
100% agree
Hey now can you react or Hosier himself singing this in the subway station?! It’s awesome!!
