From the Rolling Stone: "Too Sweet' is one of the most lighthearted, fun songs that I've ever put out,” Hozier says. “So part of me was like, 'Well, I better follow this up with an anti-war song.'”"
Yeah, telling artist what they have to do, that always works. They always do just as they are told, and keep in line, never straying from the establishment.
There's nothing I love more than a catchy tune about bringing down the military industrial complex and challenging the idea that men have inherent violence within them. we love an emotionally intelligent artistic genius.
Nice comment, although I would argue men do have inherent violence in them, that can be used for good. The aggression and competitiveness and grit we have purely because of our biological makeup can he turned into tremendous ambition and action towards good, productive things and protection. And not evil, useless wars to fill the pockets of a select few with an unimaginable amount of money. But I guess it's all a big power game that you have no choice but to participate in. It just depends what choices you make once you start playing the game actively.
@@SzaboDTamas-ki4wuI believe humans, as a whole species have inherent violence in them. But just as you said, it can be used for good instead of killing.
For real. Making statements (anti-war, anti-colonization, pro-lgbt, the importance of community) at every concert. Playing a video (excerpt from take me to church) of two men kissing on the screen behind him in anti-lgbt countries. Mad, mad respect for him
The constant stream of doll parts mirrors the horrors we've seen in an unending stream coming from Gaza. Thank you Hozier for being bold about what the powers at be are trying so desperately to silence. Truly you are one of the greatest artists of our time and a gift to the people.
I empathize with what's going on in Ukraine, however, you can't compare it to what's happening in Palestine. The Palestinians have been suffering for over 75 years now. The media is always trying to paint them as the bad guys in this, they're saying they're barbarians and animals, and that they're the ones who started this war despite us all knowing that this ain't the truth. The Palestinians have no official army, and the only ones fighting for them are ham@s, who are paint as terrorists no matter what they do, and don't have enough weapons. I feel sorry for Ukraine, and for that little baby's family, but comparing Ukraine who got almost all countries' support and help to Palestine who's got no one else on it's side sounds a bit inappropriate. @@polinaporechna2008

I feel like he spent so much time away and then he got heartbroken and he realized you know what? People love what I do so I’m gonna give them what they want
Honestly shaken by how bold and effective this music vid is. To do this after Too Sweet and to not leave any room for discussion on what the song is about. ESPECIALLY with it doing well on the charts. Just chefs kiss
Part of the problem with Born in the USA is a LOT of people never grasped (and still don't) that it isn't a rah-rah, go us, song. Look at how many times Springsteen has had to have his people issue cease and desist letters. They're the same people thinking The Chicks Not Ready To Make Nice is FOR them when it's really ABOUT them.
I had to choose a song to dissect and analyze for a college class. I instantly thought of this one. I'm currently writing it and felt overwhelmed by the layers of importance. One of the major takeaways for me personally is the idea that we can be more than an accomplice to this devastating system. I felt torn between what I can do to make the world better and the idea that nothing I do matters. This song really opened my eyes to the idea that you can’t change a system built against you, you have to break out of it and start a new one.
"Let me look a little older" - because he's either a salesman or a soldier, either needs to look young to sell better or dying young, either way his body is a commodity... I love Hozier.
And his soul. Constantly reporting about things, especially horrible things, can destroy your soul. And with being a solider, going to war/being in combat can destroy your soul.
god this is so powerful. the shot of the child's shoe with the word "collateral" really got me, how children dying in war is just seen as collateral damage and not a real problem. this video and this song are amazing. i love u hozier
I'm an old Joni MItchell, Bob Dylan, Jefferson Airplane, Beatles gal, and while they all had great lyrics, in all my years of listening to music, I have never ever heard or seen anyone even begin to approach the artistry of Hozier. Or the heart. Or the intellect.
As a designer, I'm screaming!!! The Ukraine coloured lighting; utility clothing; the doll hands remind me of the scene in 1984 where Winston kicks the baby's hand into the gutter! Amazingly powerful imagery!!
@@scilly180608it’s blue and yellow in more than one shot and he already made a music video about war (Eat your young) starring a Ukrainian actress and performed at a concert with a Ukrainian singer Jamala, but sure it’s impossible that this war-themed video could be about Ukraine that’s still suffering from russian agression🤡🤡
Massive respect for Hozier staying relevant in his artistry. No one in the world can afford to exclude anti-war efforts from their careers, social lives, art, or even general conversation. Every breath we take is for liberation. Free Palestine, free Sudan, free the Congo! No more martyred, exploited, or neglected children under the empire of profit and white supremacy!
Free Palestine from HAMAS and stop the indiscriminate attacks on Israeli civilians and then, maybe there can be a conversation about "freeing Palestine". Just FYI, Israel had withdrawn from Gaza in the mid-2000s, expecting normal political relations with the government the locals voted in and spent decades trying to reach an acceptable 2-State solution with the PLO. All for nothing, because some people in this dispute just hate Jews too much to care for a chance at normal life with acceptable political relations with the neighbors.

I love the way that the upbeat drums and big horns in the first few seconds of the song contrast with his soft crooning of the lyrics, it’s so beautiful
It doesn't ceise to amaze me your ability to write something so powerful and meaningful and made it sound so beautiful even when the message is so dark. It's so sad that we didn't change at all, because as humans being every single time that I see us, I see us worse! We don't improve we are every single time worse seeing without problem that the children are dying all over the world for wars for hunger for whatever other reasons that there are. It's horrible and you say it outloud and so beautifully. Thank you for opening so much eyes. Please come back soon to Argentina. We are waiting for you! Please, never change! Love and peace!
This is exactly what I needed today! I'm so grateful for all of the new Hozier music and videos over the last year. It's done so much to keep me excited about something coming up. Sometimes that's all we need.. something to look forward to.
I need a straight up jaw-drop emoji, please This is amazing. Trying to put everyone back together but it's moving too fast, this whole futility of the cycle we're born into BUT THE CONVEYOR BELT STOPS AT THE END ! IT'S OKAY HOZIE WE'RE WITH YOU, WE'LL SLOW THIS SHIT DOWN 🖤💯🖤💯🖤💯🖤💯🖤💯🖤
Everyone should look into how to become conscientious objectors. Refuse to fight or die in a war you had no part in causing. Refuse to kill or maim innocent people. Refuse to fight so some rich man gets richer. As ever, as always Free Palestine 🇵🇸 Free Congo 🇨🇩 Free Sudan. Free every oppressed human being. Thank you for all that you do, Andrew. Thank you for using your voice.
The thing is, I feel this way inside and it torments me. I am in an internal storm of endless rage that started when I was at least 15, maybe younger. I once believed in a fair world because I was lied to and I have never recovered from learning the truth. Hozier is one of the few artists that makes my rage feel like it holds beauty and meaning, and isn’t lost in a sea of six billion voices. And he’s also one of the very very few men on this earth I have great respect for. Mostly, men are a disgrace in my eyes. I am trying to change my perspective but it has become a battleground of criminals and poets.
so fucking proud to stan someone so LOUD AND POLITICAL absolutely what you should be as an artist- from love to an (ironically) battlecry for the war to stop WHAT CAN THIS MAN NOT DO
Pow. A slap in the face. An eye opener. Andrew you're such a breath of fresh air. Thank you for keeping us on our toes and wanting to do better for this world 💚(it's been on repeat since I first heard the extract)
Right? So good. I got in the car and this came on the radio when I started the car and it was the best ride to the Grocery ride of my life. What a great song. I'm hooked to the hook of this song.

Hozier already says so much with his words and I love how much he says with his videos. I mean I know people analyze his lyrics, but the videos he does are also all so complex. I’m in awe of him every time he touches any subject 🤎
From the Rolling Stone: "Too Sweet' is one of the most lighthearted, fun songs that I've ever put out,” Hozier says. “So part of me was like, 'Well, I better follow this up with an anti-war song.'”"
Couldn’t let people start thinking he had forgotten to be sassy.
Would be sweeter as a no war song played by both sides.
Like a reality check on shrooms to make sure your on the same page
“An artist's duty, as far as I'm concerned, is to reflect the times.”
Well done Hozier
Amen
Yeah, telling artist what they have to do, that always works. They always do just as they are told, and keep in line, never straying from the establishment.

Exactly what came tomy mind, baby dolls' parts to be precise. Thank you Hozier
please do not forget that the same thing is going on every day in Ukraine, just today a 5-month old baby was wounded in a missile attack
I’m glad someone talked clearly about gaza and it’s horrors when most comments are acting like this song and the video exist in vacuum

That COLLATERAL on a little girl's shoe symbolism really goes hard on my mind, but sadly, we all know what it means.
I had to pause the video for a second and just process that, that was rough but sadly too real
I almost missed it at first and had to rewind once my brain processed the word! Painful but powerful
I feel like the entire video is about that in particular, there’s so many more symbols scattered all over it’s chilling
My heart broke at that part, especially after seeing the news out of Gaza this morning
that absolutely gutted me i had to take a second
Andrew really said, “you want an anti- war song? Sure, I’ll give you a fire video to go along with it”
for real
@@stvcky.I second that.
And he's done it at least twice in probably less than a year.

The baby shoe "collateral" 😭 I'm too full of empathy to watch his videos, I always cry. Anyway luv u, Hozier 🫶🏻

We’re being fed so much material, I’m scared we won’t see him for the next 15 years 😣
GENUINELY LMAO
We're gonna lose him to that damned bog AGAIN
I feel like he spent so much time away and then he got heartbroken and he realized you know what? People love what I do so I’m gonna give them what they want
He has talked about it. He went through a deep depression but he is recovering from it and doesn’t have writer’s block anymore.
Yes, I think after November, that'll be that for a while.

Running with bulls

Coffee and blue light screens till the morning
If I tell you this is drowning
You tell me I'm walking on water
I could bring fire from the mountain
You tell me it feels a little colder

Let me step a little bolder
Choose between being a butcher or a pauper

This is exactly what I needed today! I'm so grateful for all of the new Hozier music and videos over the last year. It's done so much to keep me excited about something coming up. Sometimes that's all we need.. something to look forward to.
Hoziers voice is therapeutic!
that was TOO fucking good dude those silhouettes were EVERYTHIIINGGGG
I need a straight up jaw-drop emoji, please
This is amazing. Trying to put everyone back together but it's moving too fast, this whole futility of the cycle we're born into BUT THE CONVEYOR BELT STOPS AT THE END ! IT'S OKAY HOZIE WE'RE WITH YOU, WE'LL SLOW THIS SHIT DOWN 🖤💯🖤💯🖤💯🖤💯🖤💯🖤
Everyone should look into how to become conscientious objectors. Refuse to fight or die in a war you had no part in causing. Refuse to kill or maim innocent people. Refuse to fight so some rich man gets richer. As ever, as always Free Palestine 🇵🇸 Free Congo 🇨🇩 Free Sudan. Free every oppressed human being. Thank you for all that you do, Andrew. Thank you for using your voice.

The thing is, I feel this way inside and it torments me. I am in an internal storm of endless rage that started when I was at least 15, maybe younger. I once believed in a fair world because I was lied to and I have never recovered from learning the truth. Hozier is one of the few artists that makes my rage feel like it holds beauty and meaning, and isn’t lost in a sea of six billion voices. And he’s also one of the very very few men on this earth I have great respect for. Mostly, men are a disgrace in my eyes. I am trying to change my perspective but it has become a battleground of criminals and poets.
Oh my God!!!! 😍.. Andrew Hozier 🖤✨
so fucking proud to stan someone so LOUD AND POLITICAL absolutely what you should be as an artist- from love to an (ironically) battlecry for the war to stop WHAT CAN THIS MAN NOT DO
I’m so happy he makes music like this- music is a way to fight for change! Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Love seeing music and art being used to highlight injustices, especially on a world stage like this. This is what celebrity status should be used for!
The kind of music the world needs now! 🔥🍉🔥🍉🔥🍉
Always remember the 'R' in Hozier stands for reflection.
Watching this while the sky echoes with thunder and lightning, it's a moment of madness
“solidarity costs nothing” powerful song and video 👏🏼
Hozier making art always🤸
I’m going to see your concert on the 17th. You better play this. ❤
This man keeps making my life worth living 💘
SAMEEEEE
Hozier can write a song about touching grass and I’d love it. But I love this video so much! Freedom is for everyone, not just the majority.
Pow. A slap in the face. An eye opener. Andrew you're such a breath of fresh air. Thank you for keeping us on our toes and wanting to do better for this world 💚(it's been on repeat since I first heard the extract)
Hozier dropping bangers like crazy in 2024
He knows what he's doing, displaying baby doll body parts
A true artist. Every song is such a powerful message he executes perfectly.
i love that his songs ALWAYS have deeper meanings. hozier is soooo good at doing it
Bro releasing another top billboard song like it's just another day in his life 😩🔥🔥
He’s single-handedly made 2024 peak
*V I B E S*
As Nina Simone said "How can you be an artist and not reflect the times?" You're doing it great Andrew, I'm so proud to be your fan.
Right? So good. I got in the car and this came on the radio when I started the car and it was the best ride to the Grocery ride of my life. What a great song. I'm hooked to the hook of this song.
THE BOG KING HAS BLESSED US AGAIN 😍😍😍😍
[Verse 1]
Running with bulls
Working my miracles
Holding my world together with a boot string
Living the dream
Benzos and gasoline
Coffee and blue light screens till the morning
[Pre-Chorus]
If I tell you this is drowning
You tell me I'm walking on water
I could bring fire from the mountain
You tell me it feels a little colder
I don't wanna
[Chorus]
Choose between being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders
Gonna be nobody’s soldier
[Verse 2]
Sick to my skin
Watching thе news again
Whatever you choosе, you lose out in the long run
The paint on the walls
Come down like a waterfall
The goal I was aiming for was the wrong one
[Pre-Chorus]
If I say that this is drowning
You tell me I'm walking on water
I could bring fire from the mountain
You tell me it feels a little colder
I don't wanna
[Chorus]
Choose between being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders
Gonna be nobody’s soldier
[Bridge]
(Nobody's soldier) Mmm, being a butcher
(Nobody's soldier) Or a pauper, I'm
(Nobody's soldier) I'm gonna be nobody’s soldier
[Chorus]
I don't wanna choose between being a salesman or a soldier
Just let me look a little older
Let me step a little bolder
Choose between being a butcher or a pauper
Honey, I'm taking no orders
Gonna be nobody’s soldier
WE ARE SO BACK
wow.... just wow
Hello to everyone who was in the live chat for this premiere, it was lovely.
oh slay
Hozier already says so much with his words and I love how much he says with his videos. I mean I know people analyze his lyrics, but the videos he does are also all so complex. I’m in awe of him every time he touches any subject 🤎
DAAAMN THAT VOICE‼️‼️🎶💃💖
