His style is largely influenced by classical Irish music. The triplicate rhythms and specific major scale vocal runs are reminiscent of the Irish Tenors. Hozier is definitely one of the best musicians to emerge in the past decade.
this song completely shifted the trajectory of what would become my music taste. i've been "preserving" this song as much as i could for the past 8 years in hopes that i get to keep feeling the same way i felt when i first heard it. listening to it live emulated that feeling again. and after years of saying i couldn't possibly choose a song as my favorite, i have now come to realize that this is really my favorite song of all time. can't wait to have an answer now the next time that somebody asks.
"preserving" a song is soo relatable. I didn't even realize other people do it too lol When I think i've found my new favorite song, I'm sometimes too scared to listen to it too many times thinking it might lose its magic and speciality. But as you said, it's not like that with From Eden and it's my favorite Hozier song now))
@@feelingfreaky409 that's exactly how i used to feel about my favorite songs! it just feels too special to play over and over, to the point that i'd skip it if it came on shuffle. but i learned to let go of that idea and just enjoy it whenever it comes up, and i find that the magic never really goes away :'-)
He pulls so many faces in this performance! One of the things I love about him is that he doesn't usually pull faces while performing, which has the effect of making it seem that much more about the music itself, about the *sound* he's creating. But this was freaking adorable.
A shout out to the backing vocal girls! They are having so much fun, especially the one closer to Hozier, it was pure joy watching her dancing to the music
If it wasnt 1am and everyone in my house was asleep id probs be squealing at those little glances and smiles while he plays. I do that too when i perform, its the best of feelings.
He has such an amazing voice. Whatever version I listen to (of any of his songs) I can't help but get goosebumps!! Oh! and let's not forget how nice he seems to be when he is interviewed. I cannot get enough of his music! This Irish guy....oh dear!!
Listening to his songs, I want to know about the love of his life... I treasure each one of his songs...they are true treasures of the music which is created in my time, they will always hold a special place in the journey of my own heart ❤️
I was daydreaming while listening to hozier's music one day( like always) and since I write lots of stories I started putting down a story for this song. basically the story was andrew hozier hanging out with his friend(a woman day care teacher) and they just start goofing off with words and chords. he sings, "Babe there's something tragic about you, something so Magic about you," he meant her. and off handedly he said, "don't you agree?"She laughs and says no. so then she sings," Babe there's something lonesome about you. Something so Wholesome about you," and also as a offhand comment she sang," get closer to me." before pulling his chair closer. now every time I hear this song that's what I think about. and that's the thing with hozier's music. it's like a story with music. it could mean anything you want it to mean. and that's how he wants it to be too.
Babe, there's something tragic about you Something so magic about you Don't you agree? Babe, there's something lonesome about you Something so wholesome about you Get closer to me No tired sighs, no rolling eyes, no irony No 'who cares', no vacant stares, no time for me Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door Babe, there's something wretched about this Something so precious about this Oh, what a sin To the strand a picnic plan for you and me A rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know I slithered here from Eden just to hide outside your door
There is something about his style that is just so unique!
Yeah I fucking love this guy. Makes me so happy when I hear him sing.
something magic/tragic about his style ? :)
Sure, his voice :P

ya mean "there's something so magic about him" ;)
No words can express my adoration for this man and everything that he does.
He is one of few living poets
The look of pure glee on his face as he sings about murder.
that's what I love about him ;)
2:38 BLISS
Def not about murder
@@dilanpatel2333 the whole thing isn't but there is a line in the song where he talks about a rope and a tree mate, put two and two together lol
@@CountOnCrypto he has stated a few times in interviews that the song is from the view point of the devil looking onto someone he is envious about
who the fuck sings live and sound exactly like the recorded one, this guy is crazy.
People with true vocal talent sound the same from recording to live
Pon HueyMin he sounds even better live
Sia
EDEN
There are no words to articulate how badly I want to experience this song, Almost and Jackie & Wilson live
Perfect choices 👌
honestly one of the few artists who somehow sound even better live

I used to do that, too- but now I just gobble them up as many times as they come

“hang from a trEeEEEe” is my favourite line
Hozier: Babe
Me: 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺😭
I fall in love over and over again with his voice
Sig S your comment reminds me of "like real people do"
The pure talent of playing this song on the guitar and singing it at the same time. Incredible.
A shout out to the backing vocal girls! They are having so much fun, especially the one closer to Hozier, it was pure joy watching her dancing to the music
He sounds so different yet the same compared to studio version. I cant choose which is better
This one has less consistency, i'd argue that would be better.
I go between both and others, like them all the same but for different reasons ;)
2:32-2:39
MY HEART😭😭😭😭😭
🙏
this man i swear
ikr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my god the background singers are beautiful.
These lyrics speak to me on a spiritual level...
TirsaTalks yes sis same here
I adore the way Alex and Andrew are goofing around so often :)
Alex?
bisousethiboux Alex Ryan, the one that plays bass in this one
+Otter Otto Oh, right, cool. How on earth do you know his name though?
ehm...let's say, it's a fan's duty to know each member of the band XD
@@anastasiatuzova9592 Exactly there so adorable tho
Most musicians have no clue what chivalry is much less how to use it in a sentence so beautifully.
So true
he's extra feral in this
Yeaaa
this comment-🤣🤣🤣
:,( uncalled for
You made me laugh at Andy >:(
Lol
literally every fuckin second of this song makes me vulnerable, i feel that fragile, even a single message from her would make me cry.
Soothing.
2:35 omg
BAaaAaAaaaAaabE
If it wasnt 1am and everyone in my house was asleep id probs be squealing at those little glances and smiles while he plays. I do that too when i perform, its the best of feelings.
what a voice 💗
It's getting ridiculously obvious that I have a thing for Irish men...
And you've also got excellent taste in music 😉🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Me too
YES AND THEIR MUSIC TOO
Gorgeous. That's what it is. They are gorgeous!!
so many beautiful and talented people in one room!! aaaaaah
Very late, but soo true lol
He has such an amazing voice. Whatever version I listen to (of any of his songs) I can't help but get goosebumps!! Oh! and let's not forget how nice he seems to be when he is interviewed. I cannot get enough of his music! This Irish guy....oh dear!!
something electric about this
Something so magic about this
Something so wholesome about this
I think that's the instruments and lights
He ' s so cool. love his voice.
Oh man I can't believe this version is actually here.. I thought it was lost after it disappeared from iPlayer last year.
his effortless runs thoooooooo
His voice is so lovely... ❤❤ at the beginning... ☺ Amazing song 👌👌
After learning to play this song on guitar, just watching this is making my hand cramp so bad.
this is so beautiful
This man is art 😔🙏
beautiful
Listening to his songs, I want to know about the love of his life... I treasure each one of his songs...they are true treasures of the music which is created in my time, they will always hold a special place in the journey of my own heart ❤️

Forever Shewolf what have you done??!?!?!?!??!!!?!!!!
one of his best performances
❤️ watching Hoziers eyes smile when he sings you don't even have to look at his face to know that Andrew is having a great time!!!
This song made my day .
Each one of his songs kinda sketch out a different story, that's wat makes Andy so special
The more I listen to him, the more I fall for him. #goat
The studio version was already perfect and this man just makes it even better... How???
He's just got this style you can't replicate
I melted at 2:33
My favorite male artist ever. Long live Hozier💯🙌
omg his voice at the beggining...*-*
Voice like 🍯
i love this more then ever
By far my favourite from the album... yes I know I’m 7 years late to the party, but when Take Me To Church took all the attention, can you blame me?
No edits needed! Your voice is surreal... let's duet
I'm just completely addicted to his voice
This is *HEAVEN*
Man i'm 12 with basically no romantic feelings but his songs still hit so incredibly well
This must be his happiest performance ever
I wish I could live in this song.
This came on auto play and I could have sworn it was the album version. Andrew Hozier is simply the most amazing.
So good!
We love this man💕☝️
Babe, there's something tragic about you
Something so magic about you
Don't you agree?
Babe, there's something lonesome about you
Something so wholesome about you
Get closer to me
No tired sighs, no rolling eyes, no irony
No 'who cares', no vacant stares, no time for me
Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
Babe, there's something wretched about this
Something so precious about this
Oh, what a sin
To the strand a picnic plan for you and me
A rope in hand for your other man to hang from a tree
Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to hide outside your door
coisa linda mermao
This song is air and I am suffocating every single moment I m not listening to this song
this comment is so dramatic I love it
Hozier, I'd like to open my door and see your handsome self !
Genius song
Underrated
Pure Class
Damn, a pop song in 5/4. Quite cool.
His inflections/intonations give his voice such character... reminds me of Daryl Hall and Sting in that manner.
Wow! Timing at it's best
Golden voice
2:12 I didn’t even notice Alex in the back😂 just chillin there..in the dark
3:16 to 3:50 is the sexiest thing ever.
Me encanta :D
Increíble ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
I can't be the only one that's just entranced by that part of him playing out notes alone, whilst the background singers clapped...
Goodness me 🤤😌
song was made for me🤣
😍❤️
Classic
Just cant understand the downvoters
the movement
♡
1:24 😍😍😍
dope
My baby
😍
I miss the firsts of vocalists in his band. Waiting to see who might be new this time.
💘💘💘
well there goes my type.
sound exactly the same in studio version 🤯
Mozão 3
his fingers!!!!!
hozier: sinnnnnnn
me: fuck
Best 5/4 since mission impossible
Lil mamma on backup vocals?
@Favour
hey hubby
0:40 EXCUSE ME????
