What Witchcraft Does Hozier Put In His Songs?!

- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Wow. @hozier has just released some new music and I'm going to react to the lead single called "Eat Your Young". Hozier seems to have attracted a lesbian cult following, despite being a 6'5 straight white Irish man...what is it about his songwriting and lyricism that women are falling for? What is this magic? What are they seeing? Let's find out.
Here is a link to Eat Your Young: • Hozier - Eat Your Youn...

One of my friends said that the reason Hozier is so loved by women is that he writes about them the way another woman would. Which I think is very noticeable. The way hozier describes love and admiration is so ethereal and non objectifying, for lack of a better word
Sheesh! Welcome to my nightmare.
@@667neighbourofthebeast why?
One of my friends? You mean you think that, right? 😂😂😂
@@DanHunterSportsWriter Your mom and I are very close friends, just accept it Dan
I do like the way he describes women, but I’d argue that men descriptions of women as goddesses and angels to be worshipped or as threatening forces of nature are quite common and dehumanize the object of adoration by definition. But art has no moral obligation to not do so, it’s all about the way it’s used.
I like him because he blends folk, blues and soul with gothic and mythical undertones. That’s just exactly my genre. It’s like American Gods by Neil Gaiman set to music. If anyone has any other examples of that, please tell me.
That’s such a great way to describe him, I looove that book by Neil and it’s really a perfect comparison. Maybe if they used Hozier in the American gods soundtrack, the series wouldn’t have flopped?
Tamino is on that same wavelength. Check out his song “Persephone.”
@@MillennialMcGuyver yes I’m familiar with him! Nice dark tones and deep lyrics
Lord Huron has similar vibes to me (lush/dark/moody yearning), and they have a whole mythology woven through their music which I always find fun
@@sofie.h thanks, I’ll look them up!
I am straight but by god he is sexually attractive, physically, mentally. He could sing the terms and conditions of a toaster and make me question things
That doesn't sound straight.
SAMMMMEEEEEEE😂😂😂😂😂😂
Never had a man crush Jerome?
@dentoncrimescene nah but the nights still young. Ya know.
I get it. 😢
He is nearly like a poet first, but just happens to have a great voice.
I find it funny how the lesbians call him their 'Forest Daddy' lol
It's his hair and he's 6'5" too
Hozier's debut record might be on my top 10 favorite albums ever, listening to it is like a spiritual experience.
Agreed 100% ❤
his debut record still is the best thing he's made in all the years for me, the entire album is such a massive soundscape where all the songs go together so well. They don't have to but when they do it has such a huge effect
@@SuperbFairy 1000% true
Actually, he’s great every time he has an album. The myth is that he only had 1 album to care about for a decade.
in my top 5 for sure.
His song Blood Upon The Snow from the God Of War: Ragnarok soundtrack is absolutely incredible. If it was a movie and not a game it would have won an Oscar for sure.
1000%
That song is so beautiful and has the rare ability to perfectly compliment the game’s story but also if you know nothing about the game, it works as a hauntingly sombre and evocative piece of music.
It really was a travesty he didn't win the Grammy for "Church." Sam Smith won for a mediocre song whose melody was amazingly similar to a Tom Petty song.
I think we love him bc he talks about things we're all worried about in such an ethereal and poetic way, talks about women in some of the most beautiful ways ever without being gross about it, he has great hair and he's tall and well read. It's very much giving "male lead written by a woman".
Somehow, even his songs about oral sex (Moment's Silence) and fantasizing (Talk) are somehow poetic, thought provoking, and sexy without being objectifying or solely focused on his own satisfaction. Brilliant, unmatchable, perfect musicianship
Never heard of this guy before, but will definitely be checking him out now. Sounds like he has the heart and soul of an ancient romantic residing vicariously within his body.
Oh man you have no clue how accurate that would be🤣 “Movement”, “Shrike”, “Work Song”, “As It Was” are definitely for you!
@@sp0ngeb00b7 Thanks! I'll check them out! 🙂
Absolutely correct. One of my all time favorite artists. In a week, dinner and diatribes, be…frankly his whole discography is exceptional
You're so lucky you get to experience his discography for the first time. I'm jealous af
@@sii479 I get why. I do.
I like his music a lot: it's rooted in blues and R'n'B, but it also has an eerie, haunting element that makes him stands out.
I think that anybody who can pen a song like 'Take Me To Church' deserves eternal respect.
Annoying song
Because he definitely didn't lift anything from Feists song released a year prior right?
And one complimentary exorcism.
@@MrMookRecords Yes, I know the track you refer to (How Come You Never Go There?) and yes, there are similarities, I'm not sure it was a deliberate 'lift' though as it's not exactly an unusual chord progression...and, like Radiohead's 'Creep' transcends The Hollies' 'Air That I Breath' and just as I'm sure Radiohead would not go near the Hollies for inspiration...I'd say the same applies here.
@@thebouncinghearts to me it feels like a lift. Its a rather odd time signature and seldom used in rock. And the melody mimics it too. When I first heard the Hozier track I scrolled for comments but was not seeing a similar opinion.. and checked back after a few weeks and then started seeing people say the same thing. The video with Gonzales detailing the breakdown of the similarity happened a year or so after. But then got taken down due to threats from Hoziers legal team. Add to the coincidence.. the Hozier track happening just after the Feist tune...
Still manifesting a Hozier and Florence collab.
Andrew Hozier-Byrne. I'm a big fan of his. He is an immensely talented musician with a beautiful soulful voice, who plays guitar, and writes melodic songs with thought-provoking lyrics. He is also very handsome, seems to be a nice person who is intelligent, and has great hair.
When I first heard his songs, it gave me hope for the future of music. When I found out how young he was at the time, it gave me hope for his generation. When I heard what he was saying through his music, it gave me hope for mankind.
I especially like his songs "Cherry Wine", "To Be Alone", "It Will Come Back", "From Eden", and "Movement". I'm looking forward to listening to all the songs on his new album.
I saw him in concert in 2019, and I enjoyed every second.
Don't be jealous, Justin; he is not a Rock Star, and he doesn't make me laugh like you do!
Love Hozier, I think hes one of the best songwriters of our generation tbh
I'm the diametric opposite of sapphic, but I love his voice and his arrangements -- and let's be honest, anyone who references Dante's Inferno, the third circle of hell in this song, and names John Lee Hooker as an influence is a friend of mine. 😁😎
That would be a very very specific thing to be dishonest about
@@seanpardy7832 apparently I'm a very specific person. 😁
So we are friends? (Because Ville Valo also has some of that References in his Work.) Hehe
@@silviahannak3213 then we're friends because I like HIM too. 😉😂
@@bridgetyoung190 Must be nice to be specific, I am some random guy.
I love love love how you hear the details so well, no skimming over anything, AND you can sing anything. Looking forward to the long form podcast, Justin, thank you! 👏👏
I don't know anything about notes or technical musical terms so it's really interesting hearing you dissect Hozier's music. What you say about the semitone is very typical about his music... I always thought of it as being almost off-key. I love it because it creates this slightly eerie feel. Would love another video on one of his songs!
Love Hozier. Nina Cried Power & Angel of Small Death & the Codeine Scene are my two faves ❤️
I heard him interviewed on the radio last night and he came across as a very humble guy with a lovely Wicklow accent. The song that was played was beautiful.
I love the way he writes lyrics, his voice and his influences. I do find some of his studio stuff too polished, but I figure that is possibly bad taste on my part because I hated Take Me To Church until I heard him sing it in the subway, and obviously everyone else loved it.
Haha, same! I didn't really like his music until that subway stunt, and then I was hooked. But before then, nah thanks.
The album recordings weren’t supposed to be the only things to care about.
You’re in a room with a limited amount of songs & time. No one is there almost all day.
In contrast, the mediocre performers can’t write or sing anywhere near his level but they got praise & special treatment for how loud they are in recordings & how they dress or act. An image of how the listener wanted them to be in their imagination.
Folks bought Swift because their kids thought she was their babysitter but she’ll never be a music hero or good role model. The corporations bought her awards but she can’t reach Hozier’s attractiveness & musicianship no matter how much they flood the media with her. Money & lies don’t buy class.
Hozier didn’t have a stunt like the pop trash performers. He just sang like he normally did, no matter who cared.
Yes! Do a video on Ennio Morricone!!! Please! More people especially the young need to be introduced to great music. Thank you Justin, keep up the kickass work! Stay blessed.
No really: ENNIO VIDEO. Low number of views, high personal satisfaction! Cash that check!
Lying petrified on an upside-down trampoline, searching the eternal blackened cosmos, a spire of ill fate pressing through the organism of humanity, these soulless urchins deserve flavourless sausages. My bad. Thought it was Emo.
I second this please
‘it’s just really good isn’t it, let’s face it’ me when i force my friends to listen to hozier
hozier writes about women being a terrifying powerful force and that's hot
I had a fish called Fergal Sharky when I was a kid.
😂
I’m not a Lesbian but for me he seems really sweet and thoughtful. Plus he’s really tall and he’s Irish, and for some reason I have a long hair fetish. I also love water sign men……so hes got a lot going for him, in my opinion.
Same
same hahaha
Horoscopes! Oh please. New age mumbo jumbo lapped up by tabloid reading robots. Wtf believes all that crap.
The space between the notes.. that’s where we exist.. isn’t it?
Well said. 😊
I'm soooo excited about the upcoming tour! Can't believe its 20 years ago that PTL came out. I remember so vividly how I used to listen to the album on repeat on my mp3-player, all day every day. It's crazy to think I was only 12, I remember how I used to ask my English teacher for help with translating the difficult words. The album made a huge impact on me and it's still one of my all time favourites. Can't wait to see you guys in Brussels!
Wow, just the other day I said to someone 'what's Justin Hawkins up to now days?' Glad to see he's still around. Very excited for Hozier's new album, he has a great voice and his lyrics are poetic like Byron.
Hozier is a mage of lyrics, melodies and rythm. He's the best one alive
I love that description
I'm completely besotted by 'As it was' and been recently watching the series 'Dark', his track 'Into the woods' was perfectly placed.
It's hard to choose a single favorite song but I do love as it was and into the woods
I think he’s got a fantastic voice. He might not get me quite all the way to “obsessed” but definitely perks my ears up. And the lyrics are fantastic too.
I’m with you about a stripped down version. That’d be… “great, great, great” 😊
Hozier actualluy also has some great rhyming in his lyrics 🙂
Happy late birthday! Omg you and Hozier should do a duet - a combo of your great voices together would be sooo good!
He wrote these during lockdown...... I love him ❤ he has a good soul
I saw him live in Dublin just over a week ago - it was my first time seeing him live, and I had been waiting for that opportunity since I was around 14 years old (now 25). I can confirm the following: he is a sweetheart, a musical genius, and his voice is even better live. He also has a great sense of humour, and he showed us all so much love. I’m so grateful to have been able to experience that 🖤
Your enthusiasm is contagious 😊 I learn so much from your reactions and find it fascinating to listen to your musician’s take on songs! “Nice one” and thank you!!
Hozier is a legend. Take Me to Church and From Eden are both so sick
I rather thought that they were both brilliant, actually!
His whole debut album is amazing, at least imo.
Those paintings behind you got you looking like Rocky Dennis.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Looking great!
So excited about the new tour.
I love you and your band so much. I started the day with that magnificent scream in the beginning of Pinewood Smile. It's such an amazing intro to an album, love it love it love it.
So much love to you Mr. Hawkins.♡
First time I heard ‘take me to church’ I was blown away. Hozier is just ridiculously talented!
Ennio Morricone? Yes, please!
That semitone shift is Hozier genius ✌️
Hozier has a fab voice and great lyrics in the music he performs ..interesting and often unique. Jamie N Commons is another .. both have amazing voices, such great tone, although you are number one Justin ..outstanding vocals ..top of the popermost ❤
You also make me smile 😊
Yes, Jamie N Commons is great.
It's more about a modern take on Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" but it represents Gluttony on the framework of his album based on Dante's 9 Circles of Hell
4:10 it’s like Massive Attack - Teardrops
Was thinking the same thing
So excited for the anniversary tour! The suspense for the uk dates is paining me already (please come to Leicester! 😭)
I do so hope they are going to do uk as well.
Have only ever seen them once at Cornbury. I was hooked straight off, not knowing much about The Darkness. Now, I can’t stop watching everything they do on RUclips.
OH. A lesser-known but as-always stellar piece of his is Jackboot Jump!! Similarly political but with a very different vibe while still being very "him"? Played it live and it's become an on-loop favorite for me.
Should do swan upon Leda by hozier. It’s much more like that orchestral conclusion to the sound throughout.
We love his music because of his amazing and sultry voice, oh and the fact that he's a GORGEOUS giant man 😉
How much more Irish can it get?
Rory Gallagher: You said my name wrong...
Justin Fucking Hawkins Rides Againnnnnn! 🎶🎶🎶🕺🏽
I live for that man's music.he shows me beauty in the world when I can't see it in myself or the things around me.he shows me the beauty in everything honestly.
I don't get excited by much (depression does that to ya).but Hoziers music truly does.
So does Justin's tbf, albeit in a different way.the darkness have made me smile and dance when I haven't done so in days.
Music is so fucking awesome.
Thank you to both hozier and Justin for helping me and countless others.
Good day to you Justin... just learned about PTL 20th anniversary tour. I will be there in Milan exactly like 20 years ago. Long life to the Darkness❤
Live in the moment, ayeeeeee...
Sei molto fortunato di godare "The Darkness" nella stessa città che 20 anni fa...🤩👍
Enjoy it!!!😊
@@Rocksarum it will be my 4th concert of them. I love them more or less the same way I love Queen but... i never had the chance to see them. Thanks🤘
@@alessandrogiacomini6853 Wow, 4th time!!! if only I could see them once...I haven't had the chance yet, but I still have hope...someday maybe🥹
(BTW, also ❤️Queen❤️)
Cheers!👋
Justin just saw your PTL20 tour announcements! Can’t wait for Aussie dates! My brother and I want to travel around Australia for all your dates. Your shows last year were unforgettable and it was bloody awesome meeting you all too! 👏🏼👏🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I love how you compact all my life knowledge of music into a 10minute casual chat, make me feel pathetic and i still love everything you dof😩
I end up singing your theme song a million times at work every day.
I already loved this song and Hozier but this made me understand that musically it's also a solid freakin track. What a clever man Justin is!
Love these song breakdowns. Entertaining and I'm learning musical composition at the same time!
Absolutely mad for Hozier and very excited for his new stuff that he's putting out
Sharkey what a intresting voice..especially teenage kicks
I love watching Justin just LOVING music.
I wish I could create a song half as good as what Hozier creates. He’s a magical human.
Sooo excited for the podcast omggggggg !!!!
An Ennio Morricone video please! ✨
Interesting and v talented guy, Hosier. Those chromatic bits do indeed grab the earholes, lovely. I think the Enyo vibe gets enhanced a bit also by that huge reverb. Great! Nice one Justin. 🎶🌟👍
I've always loved the song 'A Good Heart' by Feargal Sharkey. Thank you for reminding me of it. It's such a great catchy tune.
"A Good Heart" was written by Maria McKee (most known for "Show Me Heaven") and produced by Eurythmics Dave Stewart!
@@mattsephton Thanks for the interesting info. All these years I thought that Feargal actually wrote it!
@johnwolcot Justin featured Feargal Sharkey 'A Good Heart' a few months ago, calling it his "favorite song". ruclips.net/video/-aNB2YlS5_M/видео.html
Interesting to hear Ennio Morriconne references. I'll have to take a listen to see if I can pick that up too. And I have to offer that setting aside the obvious staggering gift of his voice, Andrew Hozier-Byrne is a compositional genius. He doesn't pay attention to youtube comments so I feel fine writing this (as he'd deny it immediately) but it's absolutely true. He plays with music like how writers utilize words and painters build layers of colour & light. So much of his skill is visceral instinct as well as flow and he naturally takes everything that has touched him (musical, historical, spiritual, artistic, natural or socialpolitical) and it all gets channeled through him, interpreted and is brought out the other side to the work that we hear. Picture a prism taking in all the lightwaves and sending out something beautiful (or bleakly treacherous & dark but still achingly beautiful). That's Hozier.
There's also the Irish upbringing & influence, and their artistic greats have no trouble going dark & finding the humour in there somewhere as well. I've also seen that his gigantic heart compels him to issue work that is going to go out into the world and it's going to have some kind of intent to care for people. From a few things he's said I believe it's written (some of it) not just for himself, but partially with his fellow man in mind, and the idea of asking: can this embolden the oppressed, or give comfort to those suffering. Can this give joy, a lift, or a feeling of being understood or camaraderie. He writes joyfully but also carefully I believe with the idea that "music is a historical document. And if I can create something that, long after I'm gone, might possibly give someone a sliver of the same joy I've felt from listening to some artists, then I won't feel compelled to come back and haunt anybody. I'll be a happy ghost."
by god what a good analysis of such an auditorily, not to mention lyrically labyrinthine song, keep the groovyness flowing mate
Hozier sings with soul and depth. Pretty talented guy
Definitely do a video on Ennio Morricone
Would be interested in watching you break down The Killers 2007 song ‘Tranquilize’. Cracking song with lots of layers of instrumentation.
LOVE UR CHANNEL
👍👍👍👍👍👍
THXS FOR RIDING AGAIN JUSTIN
AZ
I’ve just bought tickets to see Hosier today , so this was well timed for me. Very good episode. Ennio Morricone …….. where would you start, such a massive body of work. It may not be rockknkroll but I would love to hear your take on The Ecstasy of Gold - L’Estasi Dell’oro. I can already hear your improvisation. Obviously there’s no lyrics in this theme tune but if you listen, there’s definitely vocal parts that sound like you provided.😊Can’t wait for the PTL tour tickets to come on sale ❤
I like his hair. Only seen him once on TV singing "Take me to the church" and well, yeah, I like his hair. I can see some women would fancy him, men too.
You should definitely do a video on Ennio Morricone. Just don't forget to include the piano duel from Legend of 1900.
Justin, you're a legend, mate. You make me laugh like no other. A natural riot.
Morricone is THE MAN. Please do that! Maybe review Good, Bad, Ugly theme and it's impression on other music?
Definitely enjoy his music.
The little melodic part at the start of the song reminded me of the melodic humming in Ren's Money Game Part 2. That's a reaction I'd definitely love to see from Justin.
100% need to do an episode on Ennio Morricone! Would be amazing
Interesting song lyrics for sure. Not something I want to sing in the car to but I get your enthusiasm
It is of massive importance that you listen to "lady of the lake" by crown lands.
That 'semi-tone shift' (I'm not technically knowledgable) to me, evokes sickness. Like it stands out when you first hear it, and the whole song despite it's meaning sounds amazing, and bit musically I feel shows that the narrator is sick. The gluttony and everything they're singing about, it's because their gluttony is a sickness. It's wrong. So it sounds amazing, but those few little shifts remind you that there's something off or wrong about the whole situation.
Love Hoziers work, although I do not listen to it often. You have to respect the talent that goes into writing the orchestral style within the song.
P.s.. impatiently waiting on UK tour dates for PTL20...
Hozier is unbelievable, his music is flawless. Definitely the best of his kind.
Did you do a video on Swan Upon Leda by Hozier ? That song is a masterpiece
Ennio Morricone actually wrote songs at the start of his career. And they're great!
His voice is amazing and his songs are soooo fuckin good
Pleaseeee do more hazier. His art is exceptional and so poignant
Would love to see a video of you dissecting some Snarky Puppy or Vulfpeck.
Arsonist's Lullaby and Dinner and Diatribes are both excellent. Take me to church is also but perhaps overplayed.
You really have a way with words, and a way of getting to the substance of the songs that you review/critique? Jolly good show & thank you man. Just noticed, love the way you had to look at your right hand can to know where your right was. Music mad.
I’m in the US so unfortunately, I won’t be seeing the PTL tour. Come visit us poor folks in the US before too long, if you can. ❤❤❤
Tour will be going to USA…don’t worry 😊
It better be!
Hoping to catch a few dates along the East Coast.
I came back to watch this again just cause of Justin's vocalizations to this song ♡
Yes.. an episode on Ennio!!! … “The Good, The Bad, and the Hawkins”
my two favorite people in one video, yeeeeoooo. Hozier is everything and Justin, you are da man XXXX
Yes!!! Morricone ❤❤❤ Love Enio, pure brilliance.
You know. I think Depeche Mode used a little Morricone too.
HA ! The pictures on your wall ! Awesome ! 😂
Loving this channel!
This was a great review of the song. It makes me want to hear more.
Wish you would tale a listen to Afghan Whigs 2022 offering "How Do You Burn?" especially Catch a Colt, I'll Make You See God and The Getaway.
It rocks and is rollicking with interesting lyrics, strings and lots of cymbals.
Favorite lyric: Senses are careening.
A mate of mine had a spare ticket to see him not long before he blew up big time. Was during a period where I was doing beak semi-regularly (I'm older and more sensible now) and was also stoned. It was both a serene and a weirdly intense gig! 🤣
Wtf is beak?
