    Just when you think that surely every love song has been written - that the use of the English language has been exhausted to express the depth of emotions- then there’s Shrike...

    I think this is one of the best live Shrike performances I've heard so far.

      I saw him this same year at garden of the gods in Portland Oregon and my goodness what a performance that was. Hozier is ethereal

    This is one of the most beautiful performances of one of the most beautiful songs on the album by one of the most beautiful artists of our time.

    Ive never heard him enunciate so much it made me realize how many lyrics i was mishearing

  • @IfelMusic1
    @IfelMusic1 5 лет назад +55

    Listened to this about 15 times in a row. His voice, the lyrics. I liked him before and now I’m officially obsessed.

    Unf. When that Irish accent rises and falls, I am swept away.

  • @stephaniemarie1048
    @stephaniemarie1048 5 лет назад +31

    Oh my god the double strings on the violon! This might be my favourite version of the song, they are so talented. You can literary feel like you're in Ireland

    • @alexanderf2121
      @alexanderf2121 5 лет назад +3

      I was just asking myself if that effect in the sound of the violin could be two strings played simultaneously... thank you for your enlightening comment! :-)

    • @Peeziejizzle
      @Peeziejizzle 5 лет назад +3

      It’s a style of playing called rolling fiddle (rolling violin). I learned it from my grandpa back when He tried teaching me to play music. It was always my favorite. The violin intro to Free by Zac Brown is a great example. By the way, we saw Hozier in Dallas and it was one of the best sounding shows ever.

    2:57 when he hits that bum note and cringes but it actually adds to the song's emotional vibe

      @Waterdog862 3 года назад +2

      @rose petal nah the way he looked away that had to have been he didn’t mean to do that, he changes his songs a lot Crome performance to performance but he never makes it sound like he fails to hit a note

  • @LittleMissHoop
    @LittleMissHoop 4 года назад +10

    The sound quality on this version is off the charts. My favorite version of Shrike. I cannot believe he performed this in my city BEFORE I discovered him :(

    I couldn't utter my love when it counted
    Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now
    I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
    Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now
    The words hung above
    But never would form
    Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
    Remember me love, when I'm reborn
    As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
    And I had no idea on what ground I was found in
    All of that goodness is goin' with you now
    Then when I met you my virtues uncounted
    All of my goodness is gone with you now
    Dragging along, following your form
    Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
    Remember me love, when I'm reborn
    As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
    I fled to the city with so much discounted
    Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
    Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
    Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
    I was housed by warmth
    But I was transformed
    By your grounded and giving
    And darkening scorn
    Remember me love, when I am reborn
    As a shrine to your sharp
    And glorious thorn.

      lovely lyrics. I think it may be founded rather than found in. Either makes sense.

    It was only when I meditated on the lyrics that I was even more blown away by this magnificent song....:
    I couldn't utter my love when it counted
    Ah, but I'm singing like a bird 'bout it now
    I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
    Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now
    Words hung above, but never would form
    Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
    Remember me love when I'm reborn
    As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
    Had no idea on what ground I was founded
    All of that goodness is gone with you now
    Then when I met you my virtues uncounted
    All of my goodness is gone with you now
    Dragging along, following your form
    Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
    Remember me love, when I'm reborn
    As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
    I fled to the city with so much discounted
    Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
    Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
    Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
    I was housed by your warmth, but I was transformed
    By your grounded and giving and darkening scorn
    Remember me love, when I'm reborn
    As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
