It's only said to be kind The time that you have with love You're never told but you're loaned it It's a lie, the high that you have with love It feels like gold when you hold it And know it's sweet to know it when it's gone baby So why why why Why would you be loving Why would you be loving Why would you be loving And hey why would you be loved hey why would you be loved Now the world falls apart It starts with their acting up I wouldn't say it but I blame them The bleeding hearts The arts and that other stuff All the same motivations will melt away Like snow flakes on a tongue baby So why why why Why would you be loving Why would you be loving Why would you be loving And hey why would you be loved hey why would you be loved hey why would you be loved hey why would you why would you Why would you play it all on something As hollow as trust What if you gave it all to find that it wasn't enough What if under the gaze of all You come short when the going gets rough Why would you be loving Why would you be loving Why would you be loving And hey why would you be loved And hey why would you be loved They look for something to be done For those that are most in pain What about me and my aching The scales rehung The breaking of yoke and chain What about me and my breaking And if you ain't for all How could you try at all baby So why why why Why would you be loving Why would you be loving Why would you be loving And hey why would you be loved hey why would you be loved hey why would you be loved hey why would you why would you Why would you play it all on something As hollow as trust What if you gave it all to find that it wasn't enough What if under the gaze of all You come short when the going gets rough Why would you be loving Why would you be loving Why would you be loving And hey why would you be loved And hey why would you be loved Why would you be loving Why would you be loving Why would you be loving And hey why would you be loved And hey why would you be loved hey why would you be loved hey why would you be loved
I saw a video about the production of this video..his mom was directing it 🤔 I think... It's been a long time since I saw it. They talked a lot. I need to find it again.
The perpetual tension between the certainty of entropy and the immediate overwhelming cascade of experience is such a particular emotion Hozier helps me explore and I'm thankful for the opportunity
Andrew, I don't care if some of your songs aren't sophisticated enough to meet the album cut, WHAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU RELEASE THEM EITHER WAY 😭😭😭 can't believe u have tons of songs hidden from the public 😭😭😭 your unreleased music is my roman empire 😭😭😭
@@friedlemon5172 No but genuinely, I can easily picture this song being about himself. Like singing it to a mirror type of thing, which makes it 100x sadder imo
hozier remains underwater, after creating a underground concept. I'm anxiously waiting for the air and (please) one in which everything catches on fire.
I like to think that the first album was the air-themed one, and he has a couple of fire-themed songs in other albums but the next album will be full on fire-themed
glad he left this off bc if i heard the line “what if you gave it all to find that it wasn’t enough” 5 years ago they would have had to take me to a psychiatric hospital by helicopter
This feels like a mix between Be, Sunlight, and Talk in the sense that it has that bitter resentment from Be, that religious undertone from the organ in Sunlight, and the subversion in Talk of a selfish lover disguised as a sweet-talker and I'm so obsessed with it
I have listened to this song over and over and it invokes such a complex but familiar feeling of betrayal, rage, ambition met with defeat, the question of why even try to find beauty or meaning or anything worthwhile after such a realization? I can only imagine these were the types of thoughts Jesus had while praying in the garden or on the cross he had to fight through. Hozier is my favorite artist, and it’s because he has the ability to convey nuanced emotion in a way where it seems almost effortless. Brilliant work, as always.
So you get it?.. I don't think life was liked too much at this time. You wouldn't believe what was going on. I don't know how much to talk about and how everyone would understand, although I am certainly glad that there is someone like you, now, that does hopefully possibly understand life normally. Life was NOT NORMAL. (Maybe this was me, in a past life. I've been here a long time and have been a lot of different people.) Life has mostly been too difficult, and waiting for it to return to normal. We have a chance now, more than I have seen before, and I hope we can make it. It requires everyone to stop looking at lies told by the devil and backed by hacked up Mind machinery. No it doesn't mean that the mind was hacked, it wasn't, there are different "plug ins" or "adaptors" to the Mind and some are misunderstood even to the point of false reporting, to US, by what we may see because we are not following the structure to how it works. Some of the profiling on some of these adaptors tell things about the viewer on the profiles of others, to see how they would act or treat such a thing about it, which explains quite a bit about the experience and character of someone. This has been exploited by individuals or groups and used to try to take over our governments, explaining our officials had faults that actually belonged to the accuser. So once we overcome this, we can move forward in life in other areas. I hope to return to the Church and live a nice simple life, although I am going to bring us our advanced technologies and focus on entertainment and sports technologies, and bring us new X-Games unbelievable. There is so much fun to unlock in our future you would (could) not believe it unless you remembered it!! I am hoping things go well, because if they do, they will go EXTREMELY AMAZINGLY WELL for the rest of eternity!! I am (*eyes closed/scared*) excited so much for us, although it feels like I am hoping we dodge from a wreck we are headed at. So I am freaked out. My health had has been poor and I haven't received any report from anyone YET.. So, we will see!!! Have a good day. (The name is "Who's Here?", btw)
no mortal being can give me such a beautiful existential crisis, the way Hozier has done with this. conclusion: Hozier is an immortal being questioning us mere mortal's ability to give and receive love.
The timing could not get ANY better. You literally can sense that this song is based on questions he had in 2019 while in unreal unearth we’ve got the answers to this song.I’m in LOVE.
My soul has just been pulled from my body, wrapped in the blanket of night, the stars like diamonds dancing to the tune of his voice, as I drift away on his fae king magic. 😶😭😭
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Thank you. I saw you in London last year and stood alone just breathing it all in, whilst holding my breath, if that's possible.
Personally this song's so much pleasant than Too Sweet, Hozier really outdid himself with this EP. When an independent oriented project hits mainstream by surprise, you know you're witnessing someone making history
he's in his active era and i'm living my best life fr
So active 🥹 father
We've been blessed ❤
Amen babe amen❤
Real
💙💙💙
Everybody talks about his love songs but his OUT OF LOVE songs are actually earth shattering his is HAUNTING
THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FRRRRRRR
YES!!!!
HONEST!!!!
This is the most accurate and beautiful descriptor of the feeling his songs convey
releasing a singular bad song might be the only thing this man can't do
No bc most of his songs aren't what I usually listen to but his voice and the incredible talent he has to make any song sound AMAZING is what has me in a choke hold and playing his songs on a LOOP
All the visuals for the Wasteland baby shoot truly are the definition of female gaze
So true ahah!!
What does this mean?
@@Lotschi it means that the visuals display more emotion, more depth, focusing on the message instead of objectifying/sexualizing the person/thing/visual
@@MarilieAspenleiter ok, thanks!
holy shitttt the gift that keeps on GIVING
❤️🔥
I read that as the grift that keeps on giving.
him reading a book underwater with his shirt riding up and then screaming silently to the void while the song keeps going with his gorgeous voice is everything
His neck! I want to kiss his neck...ohhh
missing wasteland, baby! is a state of being
Real
So real
RUclips asked my feedback on this comment, I said relateable
Everything he does is a bop. Even if it makes me shed a little tear, that tear is boogyin down my face
W tear frfr.
Keep it. Put it in a jar and display it.
It's only said to be kind
The time that you have with love
You're never told but you're loaned it
It's a lie, the high that you have with love
It feels like gold when you hold it
And know it's sweet to know it when it's gone baby
So why why why
Why would you be loving
Why would you be loving
Why would you be loving
And hey why would you be loved
hey why would you be loved
Now the world falls apart
It starts with their acting up
I wouldn't say it but I blame them
The bleeding hearts
The arts and that other stuff
All the same motivations will melt away
Like snow flakes on a tongue baby
So why why why
Why would you be loving
Why would you be loving
Why would you be loving
And hey why would you be loved
hey why would you be loved
hey why would you be loved
hey why would you why would you
Why would you play it all on something
As hollow as trust
What if you gave it all to
find that it wasn't enough
What if under the gaze of all
You come short when the going gets rough
Why would you be loving
Why would you be loving
Why would you be loving
And hey why would you be loved
And hey why would you be loved
They look for something to be done
For those that are most in pain
What about me and my aching
The scales rehung
The breaking of yoke and chain
What about me and my breaking
And if you ain't for all
How could you try at all baby
So why why why
Why would you be loving
Why would you be loving
Why would you be loving
And hey why would you be loved
hey why would you be loved
hey why would you be loved
hey why would you why would you
Why would you play it all on something
As hollow as trust
What if you gave it all to
find that it wasn't enough
What if under the gaze of all
You come short when the going gets rough
Why would you be loving
Why would you be loving
Why would you be loving
And hey why would you be loved
And hey why would you be loved
Why would you be loving
Why would you be loving
Why would you be loving
And hey why would you be loved
And hey why would you be loved
hey why would you be loved
hey why would you be loved
It says "you're loaned it" instead of "you've learned it"
@@wil-frithinwrath2863 right, thanks, fixed it!
Thank you ❤🙏

I love you x
That photoshoot was a damn piece of art tho
I saw a video about the production of this video..his mom was directing it 🤔 I think... It's been a long time since I saw it. They talked a lot. I need to find it again.
@cal2780 I think that was a photoshoot for a reference for his album cover (that his mom painted later), glad they used it for other stuff too :)
Hozier should have his own GENRE !
He does. It's called "genius" 😊
He is his own genre.
I want to inhale this song into my soul and every fibre of my being
Same 😎👍
YUM
The perpetual tension between the certainty of entropy and the immediate overwhelming cascade of experience is such a particular emotion Hozier helps me explore and I'm thankful for the opportunity
This puts words to it omg
Indubitably
Ok Mark Twain 😂 but bars doe
He protecc
He attacc
But most importantly
He blessing us with this album
Andrew, I don't care if some of your songs aren't sophisticated enough to meet the album cut, WHAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU RELEASE THEM EITHER WAY 😭😭😭
can't believe u have tons of songs hidden from the public 😭😭😭 your unreleased music is my roman empire 😭😭😭
I feel like there’s a demo somewhere with him and Florence Welch waiting to see the light of day. 😭
Goddamn it yass.
HOZIER ARE YOU MIDAS OR SOMETHING. EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH IS GOLD
AHHHH YESS!!!! I WAS FIXED ON YOUR HAND OF GOLDDD LAYING WASTE TO MY LOVIN' LONG AGO
He is Irish.
The notif shook me to the core that I had to play it immediately
How can every one of his songs sound so familiar and still so new and original? And always heartbreaking yet beautiful.
同感

I wonder the same?
Maybe he hurts himself?

@@shelbychopson4022 yess i love that one, but i mean a whole concept or an album yk
what element closes is the self titled album

@@ashlabelle why would u suppose it's air? just askin' cuz "element theme" thingy going on hozier's discography is pretty fire 🔥 (pun not intended)
Sir please we are only mortal
We’re only human after all
Don’t be shy, release more songs from the W,B! vault 🤭
Good God, this was uploaded 2 HOURS ago and already has 11k views. God bless this fanbase.
Hozier in his element. ✨️
That being water. Because we all need it
Another masterpiece by Hozier
These lyric videos always come out of nowhere and almost give me a heart attack.
Hozier is a generational talent. I am going to love this man for years to come.
100% - one of the best of our generation
I’ve been shaken spiritually, emotionally, and I’m shaking physically from vibing to this banger of a song
He really can't stop releasing the song I need to hear when I need to hear it.
The beekeeper leaving delicious crumbs all over the discographies right now. Thank you Sir 💛🖤💛
dude i cant handle how many things hes putting out this is the best era ever!!!
glad he left this off bc if i heard the line “what if you gave it all to find that it wasn’t enough” 5 years ago they would have had to take me to a psychiatric hospital by helicopter

A blessing to wake up to 🥰

My 4 favorites 😅🙏
Oh my you perfectly summarised why I love this song.
A NEW ERA HAS ARRIVED, HOLY HOLY HOLY, I PRAY & SCRY 4 a peaceful transition 4 ALL❤❤❤❤😢
If I were to fall in love with a voice, it would be this one.
Underrated.
I have listened to this song over and over and it invokes such a complex but familiar feeling of betrayal, rage, ambition met with defeat, the question of why even try to find beauty or meaning or anything worthwhile after such a realization?

Love this sooo much! Still not sure I want him judging how sweet someone can be before he doesn’t like them😂😂
His voice is so smooth vibes and I love it. He’s got good lyrics and everything.
NO WAYYY Hozier this is amazing
bro knows my weakness (this genre of Hozier songs)
Hozier...Such a powerful voice & songs with meaning...cannot ask for more!
Incredible, as always. Hozier is out here singing with his soul and giving blood to mine.
Blood???? He needs to release a good version of that song
Again,. HOZIER SHOULD BE IN THE RUNNING FOR GRAMMY ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
WHAAAA OUT OF NOWHERE
We are blessed lately
5 year anniversary of wasteland, baby! :)
The timing could not get ANY better. You literally can sense that this song is based on questions he had in 2019 while in unreal unearth we’ve got the answers to this song.I’m in LOVE.
One of the most beautiful ones written by Hozier ever...
straight jail for keeping this away from us for 5+ years
This SLAPS! Has A Funky Grunge To It, it’s Amazing.
My soul has just been pulled from my body, wrapped in the blanket of night, the stars like diamonds dancing to the tune of his voice, as I drift away on his fae king magic. 😶😭😭
MY MANS THIS IS GORGEOUS AS ALWAYSSSSS
This is a masterpiece. Just wow. I just want to listen to it live as loud as possible
I love Abstract and Why Would You Be Loved extra...it's so vulnerable but so cathartic listening to them.
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Thank you. I saw you in London last year and stood alone just breathing it all in, whilst holding my breath, if that's possible.
Personally this song's so much pleasant than Too Sweet, Hozier really outdid himself with this EP. When an independent oriented project hits mainstream by surprise, you know you're witnessing someone making history
It's rare to get a good songwriter that can also sing these days.
Wasteland, Baby! Is my favorite album and he made it even better🩵 thanks Andrew for being you
Who allowed this man to be so FLAWLESS!?!?
What a man
What an era
As a gay that opines for the unreachable, I feel that hozier speaks to the ethereal nature of the unattainable.
His vocals omg Hozier you're amazing guy!!!
Okay. Here's to discovering the Hozier songs not played on the radio.
Hozier is world champion in creating beautiful music❤❤
yupp Hozier strikes again...with heartfelt poetry like m all for it
It's a great time to be a Hozier fan :)
