I've listened to this little jig about 50 times today
My crops = watered
My ears = blessed
My soul = saved
Hotel = Trivago
Cryptid hotel = trivago
My eczema = cured
‘Jig’?! You being funny? How would anyone dance to this?!
*Watering pots hate him.*
If I heard him singing this faintly in the damp forest I'd follow that fae music no questions asked
As true as the stars in the sky
Hahaha I'd follow him right into a bog.
He’s a siren
@@slugshop6 oh wow! look at this little ring of mushrooms! maybe you should step in it?
I would too
he could sing a hair dryer instruction and i would melt
fhh cgjjohd underrated comment right here
Totally 😂
Eddie Murray DM THAT TO HIM OMG
@Eddie Murray mr andrew hozier byrne you better take a note
Best comment!! Lol I second that!!
Oh, so this is what people mean when they say a voice is like honey.

@@kymboyle6555 Oh, so this is what people mean when they say a voice is like honey.
I'd say it's like whiskey ;)
Oh please God, release an album of you singing a capella Irish folk tunes. My life would be utterly complete.
I didn't know how much I needed that until your comment
It's called sean-nós (Shan-ohss) singing - unaccompanied with lots of ornamentation (trills, flips, etc.)
This is the thing that will fix the world.
It hasn’t been right since harambe died but an album of him singing Irish folk tunes would set it right.
I require this as well.
@@Kaatia18 well today I learned something new and wonderful! Thank you!
The idea of a traditional song about whiskey is so cute to me for some reason. Like, some guy was like “I love whiskey so much I'm going to sing about it in front of my friends”, and his friends were like “Hey man I like your song. How does it go again?” and then they sang it together and someone sang it in another pub and it continued like that. That’s adorable.
There's actually a whole section of traditional Irish music known as drinking songs, the whole purpose of which would be a whole pub full of aul feckers arm and arm singing as they throw back another pint. Drinking has a long time been a social thing in our good emerald isle, as has our music, and they met in a very fun way
@@nessaoc8801 Ah the unmatched Irish wit
I have great news for you about 90% of traditional music then :)
thats ireland for you, lol
That man was Irish. Stereotypes exist for a reason lmao.
Omg imagine a whole album of him singing traditional songs ugh😍
Kalli Solursh YES FUCKING PLEASE
my soul will be cleansed and will ascend if that happens
I'd be dead af

.... I've been blessed.
I read this comment right when he said "thonder" 😂
Tunder.

god not to be dramatic but this is one of the only good things on earth
you're right and you should say it
Realism isn't dramatic. U good
you're right and you should say it
Come guess me this riddle, what beats pipe and fiddle
What’s hotter than mustard and milder than cream
What best wets your whistle, what’s clearer than crystal
Sweeter than honey and stronger than steam
What can make the dumb talk, what can make the lame walk,
What’s the elixir of life and philosopher’s stone
And what helped Mr. Brunnell to dig the Thames Tunnel
Sure wasn’t it whiskey from [ould Inisowen]
So stick to the cratur’ the best thing in nature
For sinking your sorrows and raising your joys
And boys, [I oft’n?] wonder, if lightning and thunder
Was made from the plunder of whiskey, me boys.
I think it's "And boys, (I'd half) wonder..." At least that is what I am hearing
THANK YOU I was looking for the lyrics to this version and couldn't find them for the life of me
it's "And boys, I half wonder, if lightning and thunder"
Great song! Thanks, "traditional"!

How am I supposed to settle for ordinary men when he exists
Eta: 3 years later and I'm STILL getting outraged replies from men. Maybe don't wave your own mediocrity around like a flag, my dudes 😬😬😬
because ur definitely the one settling lol
@@heyitsjay6395 that sure sounds like you felt attacked by the comment
Oh God yes this is my thought everyday
Jette L honestly not at all i just thought it was rly headass
@@heyitsjay6395 Naw. You got sensitive about it. If it wasnt apparent before, it really shows *now*.
So the fae aren't even trying to hide anymore huh?
Oh my goodness, this comment made me laugh so much! Bless you.
Hey hey. Now Hozier is Irish so calling him “fae” is rather insulting. They generally prefer “sidhe”
@@olliebrolly2744 "fae" is an encompassing term for all Fae creatures, but yes technically he would be a sidhe
I'm literally here because of a Tiktok where somebody said he's one of the Tuatha Dé Danann. So yeah probably lol
@@franciscosauceda95 SAME
The softness. The yearning. The inherent ache of it all. No wonder us gays flock to him
@@StraightHeffin you can go home if you're not having fun! I personally find overly flowery language good and fun to write, and if that's not your thing, you can ignore it you know! :)
Matt Heffernan it’s pretty noble of you to hand out that award, given you had such an undisputed claim to it, real nice of you.
Poetic for fun=/=pretentious
@@StraightHeffin wow you are an asshole my good sir.
Matt Heffernan how could you possibly know if they had “no aptitude for poetry” from a single RUclips comment?
Also calling someone pretentious isn’t critique, it’s an insult. You’re just being rude
@@StraightHeffin And if "the inherent ache of it all" is pretentious to you, you have a low threshold, and you're weak. Also, you clearly know nothing about poetry OR what almost all of Hozier's songs are supposed to invoke the feeling of. It's not that difficult. So it's rich that you'd tell others they have no aptitude for poetry when you think "the inherent ache of it all" is pretentious.
Oh my god, when he sang, 'sweeter than honey and stronger than steam,' I think I died. So soft and so goddamn ethereal. The next line tho, brought me back to life with a vengeance, the power in his voice!!! Wow.
YES!!! That's my favorite part. It's absolutely magical!
Omg yes
The way he says thunder ! I’m screaming 😍
SAAAMMMMEEEEES
tunder
Christine maan the way he says nature!! Omg
Denisse yaaaaaaassssssss
someone likes Irish accents I see 😂
when he said ould Inisowen william butler yeats swooned in his grave
Yeat!
Come away o human child
Ike Encho Underrated comment 😂
Keats came rousing too
A full traditional Irish song album is needed now.
I'd pay for a full-length version of this
The way he’s dropping crystal clear notes with incredible intonation and pronunciation completely unfazed.... we don’t deserve this man
Lyrics
Come guess me this riddle
what beats pipe and fiddle
What’s hotter than mustard
And milder than cream
What best wets your whistle
What clearer than crystal
Sweeter than honey
and stronger than steam
What can make the dumb talk
What can make the lame walk
What’s the elixir of life
And philosophers stone
And what helped mr brunnel
To dig the Thames tunnel
Sure wasn’t it whiskey
From ould Inisowen
So stick to the crater
The best thing in nature
For sinking your sorrows
and raising your joy
And boy’s I’d have wonder
If lightening and thunder
Was made from the plunder
of whiskey me boys
I cannot thank you enough
Only correction would be "crater" as you've written it is "craythur" which is old Irish for whiskey
@@N1CKAND0 could translate as Creature; as in "poor crátur altogether "
The location, inisowen , could someone tell me is this a location physical or mythological? I grew up with tura lura lullaby and hither and yon repeated and not letting a rocking chair be unused least a witch will come, protestant jokes and hunger stories, longing for the emerald isle in the blue eyes of a grandmother who was Catholic without mass and stubborn as all heck, hard and a woman is beauty with strong working hands not a damsel in distress, saying her mind and like many Irish, they understand native American tribal folks like my grandfather who raised me mainly, as the late night I was born the 2 long divorced told the daughter of all shameful ways, " the baby comes with me and my wife, either thru court that I can pay for and you can't, or without the disgrace of you losing without trying, she comes with us and you may visit and stay even if you work or go to the junior college or a mix of both, " the one called my biological mother said thank goodness take the mistake, and the irish mother of hers, my grandmother said to her long divorced husband, " I'll take weekends at least all day Saturdays when my work doesn't have me out of state or country, and keep her all night too so you and your wife can be alone, I'll buy her clothing and shoes and help with toys and all holiday to dos" and so I heard the lullaby's and stories and was exposed but my grandfather as tribal raised and with vigor to keep me in our community as well, i mainly grew up knowing and definitely looking as of our native tribes members here, so while i know and appreciate a great deal of the irish part of my blood, I'm removed from past childhood anything more, side from knowing (?) Gaelic is English for and therefore incorrect and Gaelig is the correct spelling and calling of Irish folks and the language and " como até tu?" Meaning " how are you?" I'm pretty much frozen where you'd leave a child of 7 years or so in terms of knowing from the source much else, bless you if you'd read this, I hate typing, I don't have computer just phone and English comes weird outta me, mouth and fingertips, so if you can enlighten me I would be grateful
@@jayy2949 inishowen is at the top of Ireland in Donegal I live there it’s a real place
Hozier out here making me want to b an irish alcoholic
i would go to a bar just to sing songs like this tbh
That’s a pleonasm
As one, can confirm. This video is what we’re all chasing.
Isn’t “Irish alcoholic” a little redundant?
Irish alcoholic isn't good, take it from one. This song sheads tears 😅😢
he sold whiskey for me more than any other liquor advert ever has before and i don't even drink
The person who disliked this was a vodka producer
or they were so merry on the whiskey they thought it was the thumbs up
2 vodka producers now.. Lol
We hate who disliked hozier
Hozier luring you to surrender to alcoholism ASMR
Ahahahahhaha
😁
A woman drove me to the drink and I didn’t have the decency to thank her
I lol'd.
I want him reading some Irish to us for a few hours..so I can melt into a different dimension
As an Irish gay who's near fluent in Irish, hearing Hozier caint as Gaeilge would make me week from patriotic joy
@@nessaoc8801 as a non Irish lass who swoons at anything associated with Ireland - samesees
I'm just overjoyed there's a region that gave birth to such a creative soul
How is this so mesmerizing, I can't stop listening. It sounds like warmth and sweet spring water at the same time, if that makes sense.
So, it sounds like good whiskey?
Just like whiskey
Next time someone asks me why us lesbians are so drawn to Hozier I'll send this video. No it doesn't explain it, it's just a damn good a cappella.
Thor is the god of lesbians and he sent Hozier as a messenger
sometimes i forget he's irish and then this happens
crazy what hozier can do to my soul in less than a minute.
This is what I hear in the wind when I’m walking in a forest at night beckoning me to go deeper into the trees and I do
He make a great siren (look up the mythical creature version)
this is what being wrapped up in a blanket with a cup of chamomile in the middle of autumn feels like
lead me into the forest, oh wise and whimsical andrew
He doesn't even look like he's trying. He has such an effortless voice. He's sung so many wonderful songs, but I genuinely think he sounds just perfect on this.
It’s 1760 and Hoizer is the poster boy of a bar that sells watered down whiskey to men and women that are seduce by his voice
He’s just a Sidhe for hire
Hozier could bottle bog water and sell it as whiskey with this song
Please don't try to sell Guinness as whiskey
The Americans would love it
That's not so difficult. Conor McGregor's been doing it for a year
@Eoin McG LOL XD 💩🍾🥂🍻🍺🤣
if this lad ever speaks gaelic for us we're really all just finna implode huh
Gaelic is a group of languages. Gaeilge (or just Irish) is what you call the Irish language. If you talk about Gaelic in Ireland you’d be talking about a sport.
@@mannydoor2276 Nah kid. Gaelic Football is just 'Football', unless you're one of those soccer loving types.
As for Gaelic, I'm a semi-native speaker myself (grandparents from Kerry Gaeltacht) and they referred to the language as Gaelic when speaking English, so I don't care what they called it in your class in school. Most teachers don't even pronounce the words right...
It's true that Irish, Scottish and Manx Gaelic are part of the Gaelic language group, but they weren't viewed as separate languages by the Gaels (at least until very recently), and that's why older native speakers (in both Ireland and Scotland) called it Gaelic when referring to it in English.
he did song in irish when he was apart of Anúna. I’m pretty sure the title is The Raid
@@Dominic-so1hd Just watched it. So cool, thank you so much.
Yes
For anyone wondering the original folk version of this song is often called "Stick to the Craythur" and is originally not about whiskey but rather Poitin (Or "The Craythur") a kind of Irish moonshine with lots of different names which is like a homemade single malt whiskey that is often very strong.
Yeah the oul inishowen bit is most likely a reference to the poitin republic of Urris in Inishowen where mass poitin production took place
Thanks! I want to learn this to bring to the next trad session I go to!
Everyone say thank you Hozier
Thank you, Hozier!
@@CarolinaLikesPlants thank you Hozier

Mr. Brunel - Marc Brunel was an Anglo-French engineer who led the construction of the Thames Tunnel. Construction of the Tunnel started in February 1825 and was completed in 1843 going from Rotherhithe and Wapping. It is the first tunnel known to have been constructed successfully underneath a navigable river and it is still in use today.
ould Inishowen - Inishowen is a peninsula in the north of County Donegal in Ireland and is the largest peninsula on the island of Ireland.
cratur' - Irish term used to describe illegal liquor, distilled at a person's home.
Listening to this while it thunderstorms outside is an unearthly experience
If Hozier and Aurora ever have a duet I honestly believe the veil between human and Fae will rip apart and then we'll be sorry for not caring for nature more
This
They’d make an entire forest nymph soundtrack
Imagine if Tamino were to join up
@@LostGirLwanders BYE I'D POSSIBLY JUST EXPIRE AT THAT POINT. From one Irish Fae god to a demigod on Earth they should collab for an album I'd probably be able to water my plants with my tears
@@hollyleafwell2118 Styx, I think I'd die on the spot too😭 I mean I'm going to see Tamino live this year so we'll see if I survive THAT first 😂🥰
So...I need this to be an hour long, and it’s only a minute. That’s my struggle.
Are,,,, are we sure Hozier isn't some random bored fae just messing with us???
the only reason I'm not convinced is because he would have killed every single one of us if he was (irish fae are suuuuper not nice)
He is too polite and humble for a true fae....
No, we are not sure at all
Absolutely unsure. I think he may be like the Pied Piper of us, summoning the humans to the fae realm with his music (and basically his existence)
@@rowan_like_the_tree they may not be nice but they wouldn't kill us. they'd rather play games and tricks, such as pretending to be a human singer to charm us into listening. it's a very fun notion
I want an album of him singing Irish folk songs now I'm crying
Confession...I listen to this on repeat at least once week....whiskey isn’t the only thing that’s best for “sinking your sorrows and raising your joys”...
So it's not just me who does this, then? Good. :D
I can't get enough of his accent. I would pay him to read me the news paper.
There are sounds we encounter in our lives, that can move us - the haunting, angelic, powerful and yet heartbreaking sound of Hozier can do so. Able to imprint upon us a lasting impression that boosts us, leaves us more than we were before, better in some way for having heard it. Enhanced by the experience, we are immeasurably lucky to have been made richer by the sharing. This sound makes me pine for my father and nostalgic about our roots. I can’t drink whiskey, but I can raise a pint! Cheers.
@heep ass Thanks heep... and I gotta tell ya - a lot has happened in two years. I drink Whiskey now! Still love me some Hozier - Forever!
i understand the fae king is holding a ball today
"fae" wtf
@@bbxy6129 it’s a mythical spirit creature in Celtic folklore
@@bLaKeAnThOnY0 I know what a fae is.
@@bbxy6129 then why’d you say: “fae” wtf
@@bLaKeAnThOnY0 Cause there's a lot of people making fae jokes and I just think it's a little strange?
I could not love this more.
I love him. He can do whatever he wants.
when he sings ‘sweeter than honey and stronger than steam’ i literally go into cardiac arrest
i cant stop thinking about this clip like genuinely. its so beautiful. its the nicest recording ive heard of this song and its such a small bit of it and im so sad. this is so beautiful
I’ve wanted this on Spotify for three years
When he says ‘tunder’ and not ‘thunder’? Gah, it gets me every time. I’m so in love with him and his voice. 😍🥰
I need the whole version of this song by hozier so good
Someone hire Hozier to sing for their whiskey commercials! I wanna hear this jig everywhere ♥️
the pitch accuracy. THE PITCH ACCURACY!
He's so nonchalant it's absolutely charming
LIGHTNING AND TUNDER I am so absurdly in love with him oh my god
I've literally replayed this at least 50 times he's so magical
perfect
Some would say godly
When he says "crystal" my heart does a somersault
I didn’t know you could fall in love in 51 seconds
If he starts doing more traditional Irish music I don't think I'll have desire to listen to anyone else's music ever
I would legitimately pay for a full version of this, if you ever sang the whole song in solo acapella
i rewatched this way too many times just to hear him say "nature"
Lol. Same, but to hear him say “stone” and “ thunder”⚡️☺️
this is what you sing to gain entry to the fairy realm
That kilkenny accent tho I need a full album of him singing traditional Irish songs so I can go into the woods and let the tuatha de dannan take me
bro the CLARITY?? like every syllable is so crisp n clear how he do that… I’d be mumbling halfway through and tripping over my words fr
The full version is called “Stick to the Craythur” if anyone wants something a bit more extended!
Thank you!!
Thanks be indeed
What an adorable person he is! Andrew is a gift of a human, and we’d do well never to forget that!
I'm coming back here to hear it again and again, it's been maybe 50 times already, oh my god I can't stop listening to this magical goodness!
His voice is so pleasant to the ears. It just mesmerizes and transports one to a whole different atmosphere; a safe space.
Thank you for posting this! I heard his segment with y'all back in June on your website and rewound to this song about 100 times 🥰
Come guess me this riddle: what beats pipes and fiddle?
What's hotter than mustard and wilder than cream?
What best wets your whistle? What's clearer than crystal?
What's sweeter than honey and stronger than steam?
What will make the dumb talk? What will make the lame walk?
The elixir of life and philospher's stone.
And what helped Mr. Brunel to dig the Thames Tunnel?
Wasn't it whiskey from ould Inishowen?
So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
For drowning your sorrows and raising your joys.
Oh lord, it's no wonder, if lightning and thunder
Was made from the plunder of whiskey me boys.
*Milder than cream. Just wanted to point it out
Wow. I had no idea how much I needed this in my life.
i have not been able to stop listening to this
Thank you for sharing this! 💜🎵💜
Genuinely can't stop thinking about this video, it's so mesmerizing

I get sent back here every few months to hear my favourite artist bless my soul...never gets stale

The way he says thunder cured my depression
lightning and ✨tunder✨
I’m hypnotised 🙌🏼

This gets me through my day. Such a lovely smooth voice, smoother than whiskey I’d say. Seriously considering moving to Ireland
I would LOOOVE for him to make a full version. His voice is so heavenly
Holy HELLS this was awesome. PLEASE do more like these!
It's just so resonant. It rings like a bell and it's just his voice. What a gift he has.
His voice makes my knees weak.

Stunning
My wife and I have been listening to this on repeat waaaaay to much. . . an incredible voice on you sir.
This sounds so irish and I absolutely love it.
Anything this man sings is absolutely beautiful, he could sing me the worst news ever and I would still smile and say it was pure beauty
