Would that I hozier Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
Willow dancin' on air before covering me
Under garden and calicos
Over canopy dabbled long ago
True that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me
That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
Must be felt 'fore the fight, the call
Friendly fire, but that was long ago
[Chorus]
But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
When I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
And I blink inside (Oh, oh)
Your blinding light (Oh, oh)
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
With the war of the fire, my heart moves to its feet
Like the ashes of ash, I saw eyes in the heat
Feel it soft and as pure as snow
Fell in love with the fire long ago
With each love I could lose, I was never the same
Watch it still live in roofs, be consumed by the flame
I was fixed on your hand of gold
Lay in waste of my lovin' long ago
[Chorus]
But that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
When I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
And I blink inside (Oh, oh)
Your blinding light (Oh, oh)
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
Oh, let it blaze alright, honey (Oh, oh)
Oh, hope that you're good to me, oh, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
[Verse 3]
So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain
Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
Long as amber of ember glows
All the wood that I'd loved is long ago
[Chorus]
And that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
When I'm set alight (Oh, oh)
And I blink inside (Oh, oh)
Oh, your blinding light (Oh, oh)
Oh, that's not tonight (Oh, oh)
When you hold me tight (Oh, oh)
All the fire bright (Oh, oh)
Oh, let it blaze alright (Oh, oh)
Hope you're good to me, hope you're good to me (Oh, oh)
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)
Oh, oh, you're good to me, you're good to me (Oh, oh)
Hope that you're good to me, baby (Oh, oh)

Hey guys! I write music too and was wondering if you could check out this song I wrote
It's called "Thinkin Bout You"
ruclips.net/video/WCxBA5DvpO0/видео.html
Let me know what you think. Thanks (:
Hey! Liked it very much! You should go on!!!
Here is a series of photos that I took - dancing naked in the fire-inspired. www.flickr.com/photos/186397908@N06/
He writes metaphysical poems and transfers them into songs
Watching still living roots, be consumed by the flame ;)
"Though I handle the wood, I still worship the flame" has got to be one of the greatest lines ever written
Hozier is one to today’s best singer song writers. So much meaning & passion in his lyrics & singing.
no doubt
Such beautiful lyrics..
Imagining be loved by a man like this.
Yes, always !
ITS TRULY AMAZING I SWEAR TO BE LOVED LIKE THIS......
I luckily don't have to imagine. Been being loved like this going on 12 years ❤
this is one of my favorites if not my favorite song on the album, I've been listening to it on repeat constantly. the lyrics are so beautiful
It is incredible for me I think shrike still holds number 1 but this is such a close second
YES. That was me some months ago, when it came out. LOVE IT SO DAMN MUCH. And I have a feel that it will never get old, and that, at 60 years-old, I will still be able to feel its shivers and its powers and its flames, and to dance and stomp the ground with my feet, maybe along with my children - whom for now I don't have, and whom by then will be 30 years-old... I love you so much Melia, even if I do not know you, for being sensitive to this song...!!! ........ It inspired so many memories in me.
I definitely do want to take my girl out to a bonfire and start singing this to her
Still doing so
I heard this live last night from the second row and HOLY SHIT THE DRUMS. Completely changes the song when you can feel the beat in your chest with 2200 people singing along. Just. Holy fuck.
I.am.so.jealous. Glad you got to have that experience it. Hope you are still able to cherish the experience
@@sydtahsin9190 dude it was such a "stars align" moment I still question it happening! I had given up on being able to go, got decent tickets as a bday present, and then in line, some dude says "I can't do this" and hand me his tickets! Like broooo If I ever see that dude again, I owe him.
If you ever get the chance, especially a small venue, you should go!
@@motorcitymangababe I definitely will, fellow Detroiter (assuming cause of the username)
@@motorcitymangababe where did you see him? What city? I’m beyond jelly, glad you got to experience that it must feel magical
I NEED THISSS
Poetic and musically perfect in every way. Hozier’s art is lifetimes beyond his contemporaries even at the delicate age of 30. A true sage and gift among common men. I thank the heavens for his transcendent voice. 🙏🏻
Agreed!
My new standard is to love and be loved like a hozier song❤️🩹
Yoooo this is where it's at!!!! Everyone should feel this way!!!! We should all be so lucky to have someone who loves us this way!!! ❤❤❤🤍🤍🤍❤❤❤
THAT IS THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE STANDARD
I want to get this entire song tattooed on me
Did you do it?
Don’t do these lyrics because they’re wrong lmao
I love this kind of hyperboles
Valid
@@adamlewis4736 right. But I think they just meant the words to the song (I hope) ❤
Actual lyrics since there are some mistakes in here:
True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
Willow dancing on air before covering me
Under cotton and calicos
Over canopy dapple long ago
True that love in withdrawal was the weeping of me
That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
Must be felled for to fight the cold
I fretted fire but that was long ago
And it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
Where I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh)
And I blink in sight (Oooh, oooh)
Of your blinding light (Oooh)
Oh, it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
Where you hold me tight (Oooh, oooh)
And the fire bright (Oooh, oooh)
Oh, let it blaze, alright (Oooh)
Oh, but you're good to me
Oh, you're good to me
Oh, but you're good to me, baby
With the roar of the fire my heart rose to its feet
Like the ashes of ash I saw rise in the heat
Settle soft and as pure as snow
I fell in love with the fire long ago
With each love I cut loose I was never the same
Watching still living roots be consumed by the flame
I was fixed on your hand of gold
Laying waste to my loving long ago
But that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
Where I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh)
And I blink in sight (Oooh, oooh)
Of your blinding light (Oooh)
And it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
Where you hold me tight (Oooh, oooh)
And the fire bright (Oooh, oooh)
Oh, let it blaze, alright, honey (Oooh)
Oh, but you're good to me
Oh, you're good to me
Oh, but you're good to me, baby
So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain
Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
Long as amber of ember glows
All the would that I loved is long ago
And it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
Where I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh)
And I blink in sight (Oooh, oooh)
Of your blinding light (Oooh)
Oh, it's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
Where you hold me tight (Oooh, oooh)
And the fire bright (Oooh, oooh)
Oh, let it blaze, alright (Oooh)
Oh, but you're good to me
Oh, you're good to me
Oh, but you're good to
Oh, you're good to me
You're good to me
Oh, but you're good to me, baby
oh, it actually makes more sense now

I think he's comparing his lover to a tree, the "saw" was a fight but the fire, is the make up. That's why he worships the flame..
Exactly. To begin with, "Oh but you're good to me" is infinitely better than "Hope that you're good to me", and it's a lot more what Hozier would write.
I love poetry when it's not explained by the poet. Once the poet tells you exactly what he's thinking it loses it's magic
Goal: find someone to enjoy this master peice with as we look at the night sky
Ditto
Have you yet?
Did youuu?
OHH..... WE SHOULD MAKE A WHOLE GROUP ACROSS THE PLANET TO DO THIS WITH .... OBVIOUSLY SOME PEOPLE CAN LOOK AT THE SUNRISE 🌅 WHILE OTHERS SEE THE SUNSET 🌇 BUT ITS AWESOME
Found
What do we say to the god of death?
Me: Oh that's not tonight!🎵
Literally just heard this for the first time and I am obsessed. The lyrics, the melody- all of it. Love
still in awe of his lyricism
This song is sheer beautiful poetry. What depth! Can't get this song out of my head.
Something about this man and his music just speaks to my soul, it calms me
hozier's the only one who can write songs pure from soul
I asked him about duality. Answered. My God if you aren't God's most beautiful creation.
This song is what gets me up in the morning lately
Favorite song ever.
Hozier: all the lyrics
Me: I scream the Oh oh behind and I am so happy ....
This song is truly under rated
Beautiful song. I love Hozier
This makes me so nostalgic
This song is a masterpiece
Most Hozier songs are. For me at least. Just started listening to him a month ago, now I'm addicted
It feels like a happy version of cherry wine
This! I couldn’t figure out why I love this song so much but this is it. Cherry Wine was so comforting to me until I paid attention to the lyrics and realized it was about abuse. It’s still a beautiful song but I could never take the same comfort in it. This is the joyous version. That makes so much more sense.
this man's a fae child, I just KNOW it!
I think it's : With each love I cut loose. It makes more sense. He is comparing his old love with his new love. His first love is wood, and his new love is fire
I heard cut loose.
True that I saw her hair like the branch of a tree
Willow dancing on air before covering me
Under cotton and calicoes
Over canopy dead but long ago
True that love in withdrawal was the weeping of me
That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree
Must be felt 'fore the fire get cold
Befriended fire but that was long ago
But that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh)
My blinking sun (Oooh, oooh)
Your blinding light (Oooh)
Oh but that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
Will you hold me tight? (Oooh, oooh)
Light that fire bright (Oooh, oooh)
Oh, let it blaze all night (Oooh)
Oh, but you're good to me
Oh, you're good to me
Oh, but you're good to me, baby
With the war of the fire my heart moves to its feet
Like the ashes of ash I saw eyes in the heat
Feel it soft and as pure as snow
I fell in love with the fire long ago
With each love I could lose I was never the same
Watching still living roots be consumed by the flame
I was fixed on your hand of gold
Lay in waste of my loving long ago
But that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
Well I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh)
My blinking soul (Oooh, oooh)
Your blinding light (Oooh)
Oh that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
Will you hold me tight? (Oooh, oooh)
Let that fire burn (Oooh, oooh)
Oh, let it blaze all night honey (Oooh)
Oh, but you're good to me
Oh, you're good to me
Oh, but you're good to me, baby
So in awe there I stood as you licked off the grain
Though I've handled the wood, I still worship the flame
Long as amber of ember glows
All the wood that I'd loved this long ago
But that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
I'm set alight (Oooh, oooh)
My blinking soul (Oooh, oooh)
Your blinding light (Oooh)
Oh that's not tonight (Oooh, oooh)
Will you hold me tight? (Oooh, oooh)
Let that fire burn (Oooh, oooh)
Oh, let it blaze all night (Oooh)
Oh, but you're good to me
Oh, you're good to me
Oh, but you're good to
Oh, you're good to me
You're good to me
Oh, you're good to me, baby
...love this song❤
Are you sure it isn't "Fretted fire but that was long ago"?
@@Nameeejz this was just what I thought the lyrics should be.. but if u look at the meaning of the word "fretted" basically to worry or be anxious about something it doesn't really make sense for that word to be there.. i dont know that's just what i think
@@britneynelson2151 Its great how we can hear different things and still love the song with mildly different contexts :)
Yea fretted actually makes more sense
@@britneynelson2151 fretted means to "miss" a crying child is fretting for his mother x
I want to hear this for the first time again.
Here from the positive/gentle masculinity trend & boys will be boys trend on TikTok. I love reading their stories to this song playing
THIS IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY IM IN LOVE
i love your pfp :D
@@fieldofflowers thank you!!
Jacob from Mrs Peregrines home for peculiar children (the books) would sing this to Emma and it would be perfect
Hope he wins the Nobel Prize for literature one day.
Jeez, yes! If Bob Dylan (who's lyrics and music aren't a tenth of what Hozier's work is) could, he certainly should!
Like a minstrel playing a song 🔥🔥🔥
I just watched a clip on phub with this song as the background. Ngl, perfect songs for it.
For years I thought that he was singing "Homer, you're good to me!" I legitimately believed this was a song about loving a kind man named Homer. I'm a fool.
This song is THEE song ever
Thank you Reign for bringing this song into my life ❤
The beat and sound is very reminiscent of Nigerian Northerners/ Fulani music
This and cherry wine is my fave Hozier songs 🍒❤️
Goal: find someone to listen this with me while we stare at the stars at night❤💗💓💞
This song is a pure rush of dopamine
this takes me home
Hozier >>>>>
I truly love him 😢
I was singin it like: "must be felled for to fight the cold" -talking about using the tree as firewood lol
Its "watching still living roots be consumed by the flame"
Who else is here after hearing this on project widowgast
M e
Didn't expect to find critters here
😂😂😂
@@johnmiller5171 We are everywhere!
i went there after seeing this. I did not expect to find critters here either
Growling in i found a new favorite song*
How'd I just now find this song? 😍
love
this is a kind of song that you could hear in The Society.
What genre of this song is it? I want to find more similar ones
Alternative/Indie
@@teamhildebrand8428 thanks
@@maddiemaize3888 ofc!
"Oh i love being a woman"
Estava preocorando essa musica faz tempo
i am crying so hard right now
this song is engraved in my uterus
I love you so much❤
ok I think there is a mistake in lyrics , insead of "roofs" it should be roots , thats the only way it make sense
Sounds a lot like Torches by Aimer from Vinland Saga... i love both of em tho 😌
This song reminds me of the movie windixie idk why
IM BACK HERE AGAIN
Song is 'Would That I' by Hozier
No fucking shit
I think it's "fretted fire, but that was long ago" not friendly fire
I have to be honest, I am here from a TikTok art compilation...
Great song,!!! Wrong lyrics

i need to eat this song
Here’s a few tips if you just wanna relax to this song❤️❤️
Stuff you need:
Phone\any device you can fit under a blanket
Blanket
Book/sketchbook
Head phones optional
Go to your room go under your blanket put your phone in there with your book or sketchbook and just relax under the blanket (p.s loop the video)
Hope I helped!!
What if it gets really hot underneath that blanket , do I got to have it?😜
This sounds so Irish though. Or is it just me?
hes from ireland
which is probably why
It's the guitar part I think
The intro music gives that Irish Folk vibee, yes!
oh I thought I'm the only one who hears it
❤
❤️❤️❤️
Can someone explain these lyrics to me?
E M I sure cant but if you look this up on genius lyrics they probably have some decent explanations, they're pretty good with that
I checked genius and it doesn't have anything yet. I'll try and relay to you what I've heard from people. Acc to Hozier, he's comparing he's previous lovers to forest stuff like fire and wood. I'm guessing the subject lover he's talking about is the fire bc it's what he holds up high in the song
Present lover = Tree currently on fire?
Ex lovers: Wood , some still burning or sparking up?
How do you still mess up the lyrics in this video when they're easily checked?
giving me ben howard vibes
7 people are tone death
deaf*
💖❤
Anyone here In 2022?
What this song is about? I am good at English.
How i love being a woman
Anyone came from pinterest seeing a post to hear 3 songs in a row?
omg same!!!
Me rn
same SAME!!!
Get it tattooed asap
:)
Can you not with the popup text please
It's not "hope that you're good to me" but "oh but you're good to me". Your version makes this song very bland.
And It's not "dabbled" but "dappled" (how can't you see that?), besides all the other mistakes others wrote about.
I’ve always related more to cherry wine more than this song..
I love both. Cherry wine is by far my favorite and then this song :)
melody and cadence of the verses are beautiful. mediocre chorus tho.
"friendly fire"??? don't ruin this beautiful song by posting wrong lyrics PLEASE
I want to dance to this with my future as I’m cooking breakfast after we went out with our two dogs for a walk. just have to find a gf now
