You would think that but honestly he's so disarming. He's just a genuinely sweet guy. I was sure I was gonna be a stuttering mess but then we just kind of had a nice little chat.
I'm just amazed by his finger picking style. He doesn't use his index finger at all. It is not the "traditional" way to finger pick. I love this because it shows he developed his own way of playing. Nowadays a lot of guitar lessons are basically telling people that if they don't play the instrument the "proper" way they will never develop any skill and he is proof that that is incorrect. A very beautiful artist for sure
the reason teachers teach you to use the ¨proper¨ way is mainly for hand health. You see if you squint your pinky like Hozier here you risk have a lot of pressure in you wrist (i dont know exactly the muscle) and could hurt yourself. I know this because a friend of mine is a classical guitar player and he hurt himself like that, he had to stop playin for like 3 months. Its not about skill, its about health. Hozier is amazing, but i do hope he trains to play in a way that wont hurt him :'(
Yeah it's hard to imitate his style. But when you get the hang of it, learning playing his songs that requires a constant 6th string played is a whole lot easier
this track captured me the most. I can hear this being played in a wedding while the bride is coming down the aisle. Very sincere, pure. Like all you want to do is stay in love.
James Carmichael it's a metaphor. the earth that his body was trapped in that she discovered him in was his lowest point. she was falling too but then they pulled each other out. he doesn't want to know who she was before she fell and neither does she. he just wants to be with her now. "we should just kiss like real people do" is about moving past their bad history and being in love like "real people."
His songs make me feel like I'm in love even if I've never experienced it. And not like clouds and roses, real, messy love that isn't perfect but it's unique
Hozier for me is a completely another world. Like in the morning I would do my usual thing, prep for school and all. And then, when i get home I would listen to him and turn the lights off my room, stare at the ceiling and just be completely taken away. I barely recollect my day, but somehow what he makes me feel is vividly painted.
*sigh* love this. love hozier. love that his music, with lyrics as profound as this, comes from an old soul in a young twenty something year old body. that's where the true magic lies.
xxJustinsTutsxx Keep your soul old and your spirit young. Look at everything with childlike eyes, everyone with ready understanding. It's good to hear Justin...truly~
One of the gazillion reasons why his music is perfect, at least according to me is because he doesn't speak of conventional love. His love songs always have this darker edge, like in this one he speaks about how he wonders why 'dear' was digging that night they found him! Give me this dark mysterious, edgy yet soft love songs over the basic romance songs anyday, all day! 🖤🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤
+Ogs Rollin You do know that his whole album was recorded live? Going off that fact, you have indeed heard him live. The great thing about his music is that it's natural and hasn't been tampered with.
I like how his songs have made it on the top charts and things like that. Because people need to hear what real music sounds like :) I'm in love with his style and the way he plucks and picks his guitar strings to make individual unique notes. Hozier is just so amazing!:)💚
I had a thought, dear However scary About that night The bugs and the dirt Why were you digging? What did you bury Before those hands pulled me From the earth? I will not ask you where you came from I will not ask and neither should you Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips We should just kiss like real people do I knew that look dear Eyes always seeking Was there in someone That dug long ago So I will not ask you Why you were creeping In some sad way I already know So I will not ask you where you came from I would not ask and neither would you Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips We should just kiss like real people do I could not ask you where you came from I could not ask and neither could you Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips We could just kiss like real people do
Its a very sad song really. The person finds a love that helped pull him out of a dark place but the other person never truly loved him and slowly but surely drifted away.
Brings back so many memorie, my girlfriend, looking up at the stars, old friends, my first kiss, this song is just so perfect, it brings tears to my eyes....
His guitar playing is so good, his rhythm, lyrics, and powerful voice make it hard not to listen to listen to his songs daily. He's a special artist. So good with words as well! Ahh I freaking love him
The specialty of his music is that i get an Old English period vibe. The language seems to belong to some older period of time with references to time, life, love, sin, god, hell, etc.
I cannot believe it had been so long since someone commented here, but...this is amazing. So, so amazing. Every person up there is doing an amazing job; the song is haunting and beautiful. I can (and do) listen to it 'on repeat' and enjoy it every single time. Well done!
This was made for that moment of the day when you both came back from work, ate dinner, room is bathing in golden sunset outside and you just slowly start to dance.
My wig quietly and peacefully ascended from my head
I love this comment so much 😂
This comment wins the internet 😂
😂🤣
Had me bursting out laughing 🤣
how does it feel to be the funniest person on earth
Only in a hozier video the comment section has zero negativity in it and just pure love for this man. He is that magical.
Desmonda Cathabel no
Desmonda Cathabel negativity + 1
Desmonda Cathabel always!!! I love it. ☺️☺️
No one absolutely no one cannot resist loving this creature 💘
Hozier and Lo-Fi the two wells, no oceans of positivity
I think in a past life he was heir to a throne of some hidden kingdom, in a green European woodland, decorated in tassels of Spanish moss.
He’s king of the Fae.
He is a fairy or elvish king.
Yes, now I see it too!
How is it possible that his live performances are all better than the studio versions
I was just wondering the same thing - have been binge watching his live performances and I'm blown away every time!
dora hashim lol me too spent like 45 mins so far watching different live shows
Because he plays with feeling
Taver it's called raw talent 😂 no auto tune no shit
Taver Bc he is a real artist. His shit is lyrical poetry. 100% and his voice. True talent
i'm not even sure i deserve to listen to such a masterpiece.
Isabela Braga you are worthy. 💓
Isabela Braga yes
I'm with on that one mate
😁😁😁😁😁
Have you listened to Work Song? The minute his mouth opens, I feel inferior to what I'm hearing. The subtle tone changes, the emotion conveyed... Wow
he looks so tidy here when usually he looks like a tall homeless owl, in a good way though
cyka blyat this is hilarious!
"Tall Homeless Owl" I'M HOLLERING BECAUSE IT'S SO ACCURATE.
Homeless owl😂😂😂
cyka blyat, yeah. He's not one of those flashy dresser. Stay humble Hozier. Stay humble 💋😃✌.
cyka blyat 😁A Tall homeless Owl" Ahh Still cute 😂👍
I'll probably lose my ability to speak when I come face to face with this beautiful being
You would think that but honestly he's so disarming. He's just a genuinely sweet guy. I was sure I was gonna be a stuttering mess but then we just kind of had a nice little chat.
*hearts*
Hozier and his whole band are just absolutely incredible musicians. The band dont get enough credit. Theyre amazingly skilled and talented
I'm just amazed by his finger picking style. He doesn't use his index finger at all. It is not the "traditional" way to finger pick. I love this because it shows he developed his own way of playing. Nowadays a lot of guitar lessons are basically telling people that if they don't play the instrument the "proper" way they will never develop any skill and he is proof that that is incorrect. A very beautiful artist for sure
He does use his index finger. Just not all the time.
the reason teachers teach you to use the ¨proper¨ way is mainly for hand health. You see if you squint your pinky like Hozier here you risk have a lot of pressure in you wrist (i dont know exactly the muscle) and could hurt yourself.

Hozier is amazing, but i do hope he trains to play in a way that wont hurt him :'(
he's made the inverted john Mayer fingerpicking style lol
Yeah it's hard to imitate his style. But when you get the hang of it, learning playing his songs that requires a constant 6th string played is a whole lot easier
Yes Hozier binge on quarantine
this track captured me the most. I can hear this being played in a wedding while the bride is coming down the aisle. Very sincere, pure. Like all you want to do is stay in love.
My girlfriend's sister walked down the aisle to this last November :)
Dane Naidoo that's wonderful! I wish I saw her face while playing this :) Congratulations to her :)
Kristina Paula Fabillar I feel the same. This song is so special.
James Carmichael it's a metaphor. the earth that his body was trapped in that she discovered him in was his lowest point. she was falling too but then they pulled each other out. he doesn't want to know who she was before she fell and neither does she. he just wants to be with her now. "we should just kiss like real people do" is about moving past their bad history and being in love like "real people."
You just described my sisters wedding haha
His songs make me feel like I'm in love even if I've never experienced it. And not like clouds and roses, real, messy love that isn't perfect but it's unique
my thoughts exactly :)
Hozier for me is a completely another world. Like in the morning I would do my usual thing, prep for school and all. And then, when i get home I would listen to him and turn the lights off my room, stare at the ceiling and just be completely taken away. I barely recollect my day, but somehow what he makes me feel is vividly painted.
That’s a great way to put it
It is said that music is our connection to heaven. When I listen to Hozier, I feel that connection strongly.
he's the whole package! singing writing talent
and handsome🙈
*sigh* love this. love hozier. love that his music, with lyrics as profound as this, comes from an old soul in a young twenty something year old body. that's where the true magic lies.
Could not have said it better Stacy Steele. Well said!
+Stacy Steele you know, i'm younger than him but i have an old soul too. there are some of us everywhere ;)
xxJustinsTutsxx Keep your soul old and your spirit young. Look at everything with childlike eyes, everyone with ready understanding. It's good to hear Justin...truly~
Stacy Steele Thank you. I will.
Oh you so called it!
Binge watching Hozier acoustic videos on RUclips, I don't think there is any other way to be honest. He's so good :))
So true I have been doing the same for 2 weeks!
i am doing the exact same thing now!!!
me too me too :) :)!
Me too! Plus I am happy to say that I'm going to see his concert this Sunday in Vancouver, BC. Center Row 5!! He is brilliant!
couldn't agree more
hozier is that feeling you get whenever you see the sun rise for another day
seriously what good did we do that we deserved this man
Hozier is so underrated in a way that makes me question this world
Hozier got me in my feelings
One of the gazillion reasons why his music is perfect, at least according to me is because he doesn't speak of conventional love. His love songs always have this darker edge, like in this one he speaks about how he wonders why 'dear' was digging that night they found him! Give me this dark mysterious, edgy yet soft love songs over the basic romance songs anyday, all day! 🖤🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤
hoziers hands are beautiful, i watch all vids and im addicted to his hands .... they seem to be extension of his soul
Hozier is such a fantastic artist. Lyrically and musically I’m just in awe, and I completely adore him as a person! So intelligent and gentle.
His voice is mesmerizing. This beautiful man is the epitome of perfection.
haven't heard a live song from him yet I haven't liked. crazy talent.
+Ogs Rollin You do know that his whole album was recorded live? Going off that fact, you have indeed heard him live. The great thing about his music is that it's natural and hasn't been tampered with.
+Kris Pieters the whole album wasn't recorded live, only cherry wine.
This song feels like home- I used to listen to it so much years ago and forgot it existed. Today, I return to then…
I could listen to him endlessly. Just keep on making music. It warms my soul.
I'm just patiently waiting for the next album. 😍
Ya salio el EP de Hozier. New EP whit 4 amaizing song, 4 artworks!!!
Well, we can now say it was a masterpiece
I love him
This is like an old irish ballad
I have never heard such a perfect voice.
i like the way he says H O N E Y ! 😍
Still can't get over his voice ahhh
He sings the way he looks😍
So breath taking
I like how his songs have made it on the top charts and things like that. Because people need to hear what real music sounds like :) I'm in love with his style and the way he plucks and picks his guitar strings to make individual unique notes. Hozier is just so amazing!:)💚
um Katy Perry's Roar IS real music.
How is it humanly possible for one to have a voice equally beautiful as their being? Hozier is a gift to humanity.
I had a thought, dear
However scary
About that night
The bugs and the dirt
Why were you digging?
What did you bury
Before those hands pulled me
From the earth?
I will not ask you where you came from
I will not ask and neither should you
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do
I knew that look dear
Eyes always seeking
Was there in someone
That dug long ago
So I will not ask you
Why you were creeping
In some sad way I already know
So I will not ask you where you came from
I would not ask and neither would you
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do
I could not ask you where you came from
I could not ask and neither could you
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
We could just kiss like real people do

Its a very sad song really. The person finds a love that helped pull him out of a dark place but the other person never truly loved him and slowly but surely drifted away.
It's so beautiful
This is perfection.
This man has found a beautiful balance between raspy and clear. His voice is delicate and so strong. It’s pure magic
He has one of the best voices I've ever heard! It's so pure and moving! Great artist. Really good song!
Brings back so many memorie, my girlfriend, looking up at the stars, old friends, my first kiss, this song is just so perfect, it brings tears to my eyes....
whoever engineered and mixed this live recording did a fantastic job. absolutely well done!
I listened to this and cried myself to sleep after a bad day at work , I love him so much man
Ugh my heart exploded
I in love with this man 😊😉
Hozier 's voiced pulls me into another world,
Good God....this is heavenly...you could tell...only a broken heart could tell such dark stories❤️
His guitar playing is so good, his rhythm, lyrics, and powerful voice make it hard not to listen to listen to his songs daily. He's a special artist. So good with words as well! Ahh I freaking love him
Falling more and more in love with him
Just love this guy. His voice the song the melody one can't just listen one feels the songs.
Can't stop listening to this song and it's one of my favorites
Haven't heard music I've loved this much since Damien Rice. Loving this music and lyrics!
Yes!!!!
Completely agree!
Both Irish!
This guy is my life right now!
There's not many voices like his out there....so glad he made it through the mire to show us his talents
I trust the universe that when I meet the "One" , he would play this song in the background just to reassure me :)
it gives my heart a good warm feeling
So wonderful, clear Voice .. His songs and voice simply relax..perfect !
The specialty of his music is that i get an Old English period vibe. The language seems to belong to some older period of time with references to time, life, love, sin, god, hell, etc.
i love how everyone's voice is a part of this song... i didn't realize it until i watched this performance!
Hozier is one of my favorites, I am so grateful that he blessed the world with his music.
Love this irish babe so much
Mad skills
??
Que canção linda!!! Toca o coração.
I agree with Stacey. There's magic in an old soul in a young man's body. Magic.
A beautiful song indeed.
Que rapaz maravilhoso, meu Deus! ❤️😍
I cannot believe it had been so long since someone commented here, but...this is amazing. So, so amazing. Every person up there is doing an amazing job; the song is haunting and beautiful. I can (and do) listen to it 'on repeat' and enjoy it every single time. Well done!
His voice 😍
This song helps me to go through a tough Times, I'm thankful to you Hozier

Amazingly soulful
Damn, he's good.

This was made for that moment of the day when you both came back from work, ate dinner, room is bathing in golden sunset outside and you just slowly start to dance.
This man has the voice of an angel.
