@@colbysmith2460 among many smaller examples of him discussing black artists as points of inspo in various interviews, ‘Nina Cried Power’ is an overt love letter to black artists, focusing mostly on Nina Simone
@@nootdraws He definitely makes a point to highlight artists of color, especially female ones, but I’m pretty sure Nina Cried Power is just an ode to activism and social justice in general since not all of the artists named (like Patti Smith, John Lennon, Woodie Guthrie and others) especially in the bridge are/were not black but were outspoken on social issues. Am I right or am I missing something? I hope I’m not misunderstanding you
@daminam "Take me to church i pray like a dog at the shrine of your lies I tell you my sins so I can sharpen your knife. " Make that about any other religion and you are a horrible person but it's "ok" because it about Christianity
@P1nheadlarry. What's wrong with criticizing the hypocracy and harm caused by orgonised religion and power holders of those groups? That's hardly a criticism of everyday people and their religious beliefs.
I saw Hozier recently on tour and not only is he so down to earth and kind, he also thanked every single person who worked on his set BY NAME and recognized and thanked people in the pit who had been there for other days of his shows (+ he talked a lot about ongoing issues and it was really heartening to see everyone agreeing and wanting to help others)
When he spends 10 minutes giving a ted talk about bees on stage and at the end of his album he gave a shout out to the guy who baby-sat his bees so he could film
Probably referring to songs like "Butchered Tongue" where he directly references the colonization of Ireland and about how indigenous languages were erased and/or suppressed @@thesoul2sqeeze
@@callmethebreeze2934 i was intrigued by the phrase "cultural storytelling". It just seems somewhat redundant as storytelling is central to culture, especially his own culture. Also seems a bit vague considering it's referencing a specific culture. Just struck me as odd. But I digress. As for your comment, tá a fhios agam ( I know). In Ireland, it was only one language, gaeilge and it wasn't erased, although they tried to erase it. "Suppressed" also doesn't do it justice. Gaeilge was made illegal. You would be punished , beaten for speaking it. Children too. Search "Irish tally sticks".
I appreciate not only this guy's morality and ability to encapsulate the experience of each artist with lyrical genius, but also his crazy pipes. He must absolutely kill at both karaoke and debate club. 10/10, enjoy getting both musical and societal commentary via both musical parody and video reaction. I wish this man nothing but the best 😔🙏🏾
This has to be the best Hozier advertisement, I've never cared about nor heard them but now I really want to. I mean, I love Celtic countries, Gay people and want to see everyone become better people, so, it might be nice, I dont know.
my friend saw him in concert and said he spent like 15 minutes nervously talking about beekeeping, he took out a pride flag during 'take me to church' and at the end folded it so neatly, then at the end of the show thanked and named every crew member individually like goddamn. this man.
Someone on tik tok once said his lyrics were "weird because hes a pisces" But for me that's literally why I like him. His heartfelt lyrics don't make him come across psyco.
As a songwriter myself. I could image my video from him being: *acoustic guitar with electric in the background* "Oooooohhhhhhhhhh I'm in looooovvvvvveeee! But she lives in a different countryyyyyyyyyyy! Also she doesn't even knooooowwwwww meeeeeeee! I say this song isn't about her but ya'll know it iiiiiisssssss" "I appreciate this man being open to his unfortunate love life and being able to make art about it. Give this man justice"
My favorite thing about hozier is that everyone thinks he's just this ethereal love song writer but then if you listen to his albums his songs are all like "Capitalism will make you eat your children, the British genocided the native Irish, Black people are the only reason we have good music, sometimes ppl stay in abusive relationships bc its all they know" and just on and on. Then people are like omg Hozier songs are so romantic and im sitting here like name 4 romantic hozier songs I actually dare you
I've been trying to find a way to describe the difference between Hozier and a typical song by a straight man and THIS. He makes you feel like an ethereal goddess imagining a man loving you like that. Your Aphrodite
I like how this man makes silly versions of the songs explaining what artists songs/styles are all about, but at the same time he's an amazing singer that could make actual real songs with ease.
Take Me To Church came out like a couple months after I was kicked out of my youth group and church for being queer, so apart for being a banger it's also just a really important song for me.
Hozier is actually one of the most underrated artists ever. His Unreal Unearth album is one of the best I've ever heard in the alternative/singer-songwriter genres
Hozier is 50% fighting for rights and 50% ethereal grinding
I'm going to find a way to use the phrase, "ethereal grinding" every single day for the rest of my life. Thank you.
Ethereal Grinding is a perfect explanation especially for 'Movement"
@@PenelopeManson123 Yesss you know where it’s at!!!
‘Ethereal grinding’ is quite possibly the most Hozier thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life.

"But I'm Shakespeare on the mic" has me rolling and enjoyed the way he hit those notes
Hozier was by far my top artist this year and you just summed up why
I don't think people should make fun of others religion
@P1nheadlarry.He's not making fun of anyone, he's speaking facts.
@daminam "Take me to church i pray like a dog at the shrine of your lies

Hozier can't afford to offend the gays. His entire audience is sad lesbians, and trust me, we're all sad 😂
You’re a sad lesbian… 🧔🏻♀️
I am a queer man, but I'm also a sad lesbian when I'm listening to Hozier.

YES Hozier’s music is my go-to for yearning and cultural storytelling and pining and sad sad fumbling

My favorite Hozier moment is the Too Sweet preview over a video of him beekeeping.
That was absolutely spot on 😂 Big love from Ireland! 🇮🇪
“And by the way gay people are really cool” thanks you to Hozier💗
Yay I'm cool :D
Lesgoooooooooooooo :3
I saw him live a couple months ago, I regret nothing more than not getting into his music earlier. It was literally ethereal.
why is no one talking about how he ATE up hozier on this one with his vocals
This has to be the best Hozier advertisement, I've never cared about nor heard them but now I really want to.

he remembers how you were conflicted 🥰🥰

nah because this man needs to drop an album at this point this is lowkey majestic
I saw Hozier live about a month ago, really kind and amazing person
I saw him in concert and he stopped the show at least 3 times to check on people in the audience. Such a sweet dude, and incredible live!!
Why is he actually good at singing😂
Genuinely believe this is one of the best written songs of the century so far. No one can tell me otherwise.
