I once litsened to that song on repeat for hours in a bus ride ..I get motion sickness on long rides and once I put on that song it put me in a trans n I stayed in it for hours til I got out of the car .didn't think about my nausea once
Oooooo this is beautiful. I like how timeless this version feels. The original had a lot of specific mentions of hardships and atrocities (flooding, a wall built between people, people being turned away in their boats, starving at borders, troops dying, etc.) and felt like an extention of modern troubles into a post-apocalyptic scene. This version has less overt anger at the current state of things, but still carries the tone of loving someone through hard times. "True to the time and the place you've been given / your heart in the world, and a world there within" is a GORGEOUS line.
Playing hoziers music has been my retreat since I was in a mental hospital learning guitar at 16, today's my 22nd birthday, and somehow I've never felt more lost, but finding this new hozier song feels very special to me, I feel like I'll pull alot of strength from this beautiful song this year.
You are still here through it all, how beautiful to have music which fees like comfort. You will find your way when you understand the pain and how to move through it. It’s not going to be an easy journey but it will be worth it. I hope you find peace. ❤
There will never truly be another artist (in my eyes) that will make me feel the way that Hozier does. I can't even begin to explain how his music makes me feel.
I've been listening to Hozier since I was 13, and remember being obsessed with this song at 16. Listening the folk version at 22 feels unreal and it's like a gift for the long time fans 💖🙏🏻😭
This new arrangement and alternate lyrics make it a completely different song! Absolutely gorgeous! I love the original as well, and it seems hardly fair to compare them -- they're so different. I'm just gonna listen to this 5000 times now. Thanks Hozier!
I think what I like the most about Hozier's music is that each song is an experience. It's not just about the lyrics, albeit they are poetic and beautiful. There is so much thought behind the sound and the effects to this version of the song. This song sounds like a dreamy prayer that love is being placed in the right person. Not religious, but hopeful. Such a stunning song.
A most beautiful ode to one of the most beautiful albums of all time. Happy 5th Anniversary to Wasteland, Baby! I could never find the words to communicate it's importance to me.
Now that I just listened to this I understand why Andrew loves it so much and why the album version never truly entered my heart despite loving the lyrics. This is the perfect match for the delicacy of the words and truly lets them show...
Sometimes I think the world does not deserve his voice and poetry, and other times I think that he was put here to heal it. Either way, deserving or not, I am glad he is here. The world is better for it
Sweet God! This rendition is an ethereal cascade of beauty, stirring the depths of the soul with its raw intimacy and sublime resonance. I wish I could listen to it for the first time again ❤🔥
This is so deeply soothing. The Be that we got on Wasteland, Baby was an anthem. This version is a gentle embrace where it's okay to weep and be comforted.
Be is one of my favorite Hozier songs, I was listening to Wasteland, baby! just yesterday or the day before (as usual) and now this version is so beautiful, thanks Andrew and team, it was exactly what I needed right now. ❤️💚💙
This man,s carving of love is beyond...Like, his love songs actually capture the ESSENCE of love, i dont remember an artist who can capture love in love songs like hoxier does❤
Listened to it. Meditated to it. Cried to it. Hozier healing scars I buried as a kid, healing scars I carved growing up. Thank god for you. Gratitude 🌻❤️
Going to my first Hozier concert in 2 months. In my 40 years of a beautiful life, I can’t remember being more excited about anything, except my first trip to Ireland. Hozier has been the soundtrack to my life for the past year ❤ LFG 🎉
Hozier said in a short that this was his preferred version of the song and I couldn't agree more. I am so glad it was shared ! Let us all relish it together folks. ✨
i heard this at such a perfect time because i've really been considering coming out to my family. i think i might do it tomorrow! that's absolutely not at all what this is about but interpretation is a wonderful part of experiencing music :) thank you hozier!! this is amazing
"Which side of the wall really suffers that cost?" Genius. We didn't lose Paradise; Paradise lost us. As countries that put up walls also miss out on the diaspora. I know that line was also in the album version, but it really shines here.
Bro just dropped this out of nowhere on a Friday afternoon???? Andrew I’m crying now
It's actually the 5 year anniversary of Wasteland, Baby! So I guess it's a gift that keeps giving 😅
@@shania04 oh really, hopefully we get an acoustic version of the whole album as an anniversary gift
@@Spielmaldingens we're getting a deluxe version with shrike and be acoustic, the songs from the ep will be incorporated, and also a new song!!
never getting over finding out Hozier's real name is ANDREW
@@shania04 I know I know I’ve been a fan since 2015 😂
I think Hozier shines most in soft acoustic songs like this. It’s why Cherry Wine is still my favorite of his to this day.
agreed, this song goes so beautifully with cherry wine and wasteland baby/unknown
I once litsened to that song on repeat for hours in a bus ride ..I get motion sickness on long rides and once I put on that song it put me in a trans n I stayed in it for hours til I got out of the car .didn't think about my nausea once
So true. In a Week is my favorite of his and there's something really ethereal about it that I can't even explain.
Work Song is my favorite then Arsonist’s Lullaby
RIP AARON BUSHNELL
Hozier is a gift to music
hozier is a gift to the world
And the world 🇵🇸🇵🇸
Yesss❤❤❤wowwww breathtakingly beautiful beyond words ❤
That first “Be” was an out of body experience for me
fr😭
The lyrics are beautiful this man is the Shakespeare of the 21st century
Overwhelmed by the need to listen to this a thousand times in a row while floating underwater.
Damn. This version is absolutely gorgeous. Flawless vocals, as always.
This version is beyond ethereal, thank you Andrew for blessing us with it.
This is the visual and audio proof that this man is actually a Siren and that's why I get hipnotized everytime I lisen to his voice.
"What side of the wall really suffers that cost" gods this man, so ethereal and enchanting
Read this comment as he sang these lyrics ❤
❤❤ love this statement!! 🎼💯🙌🏻🙌🏻⭐️🕉✡️☪️⚧️♾️
I clicked on this wondering how in the world "be" could be turned into an acoustic song. but damn, he did it
He said this is the original version and also his favorite
Makes sense, it does seem a lot more characteristic of him. This version that is.
@@alê.6671 wow, I would have never guessed that
He needs to win his Life.money...

❤❤❤❤❤ yesssss!
Dear God.
Feels like a completely different song…so incredibly well done
Spring time is always Hozier songs. Love the folk music.
To have the talent to take one of your OWN songs and totally transform it like this?? I have no words. Stunning 🤯🫶
He said that this was actually the original version
This is a drug. In 4 minutes, I'm perfectly relaxed, in a quiet-good mood, and ready to be tucked in.
Yes!!! I am just floating softly.
Because there's a blanket within these words, the tempo, the melody. It feels like home❤
An Unexpected Blessing
Leave me alone, I must hear this in loop my entire weekend
🫶🏼🫶🏼
I literally had it on a loop for like 7 hours on Saturday lmao it's so good
everyone must leave me BE
how wonderful to be alive at the same time as you

Stay strong, brother 💪
We're all in it together ❤️
I love how soft and kind this song is. Thank you for this
The way my soul interprets every letter of Hozier's songs is strangely beautiful.
Hozier's music is a direct line to heaven. Talent isn't strong enough a word.
There will never truly be another artist (in my eyes) that will make me feel the way that Hozier does. I can't even begin to explain how his music makes me feel.
This is the prettiest thing i have ever heard in my entire life.
I feel like I’m floating with this song
The vocals, the visual, the meaning… I love everything about this. I closed my eyes and just listened, sigh, it’s like balm for the soul.
For the longest time I've been trying to figure out what I want the first dance at my wedding to be. I've found it now.
I wish I could get married over again just to have this song as our first dance!
@@johannadobrinski6795You always can! Or hell just slow dance in the living room lol
I've been listening to Hozier since I was 13, and remember being obsessed with this song at 16. Listening the folk version at 22 feels unreal and it's like a gift for the long time fans 💖🙏🏻😭
I can only dream of hearing that version live one day.
I’m seeing him in August, and suddenly the thought that he might play this live has me in tears.
Hozier I am here first, its the closest to meeting u in person 🔥u are a blessing and I appreciate this, Million thanks.
I’d love to be part of the video actually ❤️😂🔥
Hozier és Abençoado❤❤❤. Estás sempre no meu ❤. Grata🙏
….m’kay….. …..😐😑😐
Wake up babe, the bog wizard dropped some 🔥
Like Andrew’s just been carrying this around in his pocket for half a decade, Be-autiful! 👏🏻❤️
OMG WE'RE GETTING WASTELAND BABY VAULT TRACKS???? MY HEART IS SO HAPPY ❤😭
Vault tracks...I'm spotting a fellow Hozier/swiftie?
I will never get tired of your voice...thank you for blessing us once again🥰😇
Andrew and an acoustic guitar is the best love story in the history of mankind
This new arrangement and alternate lyrics make it a completely different song! Absolutely gorgeous! I love the original as well, and it seems hardly fair to compare them -- they're so different. I'm just gonna listen to this 5000 times now. Thanks Hozier!

Hozier just casually dropping this from his spare change pocket, damn!
A most beautiful ode to one of the most beautiful albums of all time. Happy 5th Anniversary to Wasteland, Baby! I could never find the words to communicate it's importance to me.
Sir, without warning! A blessing. Thank you
So subtly, so pure.
this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard
Now that I just listened to this I understand why Andrew loves it so much and why the album version never truly entered my heart despite loving the lyrics. This is the perfect match for the delicacy of the words and truly lets them show...
Hozier is a male siren from greek mythology and you cannot tell me otherwise.
Sometimes I think the world does not deserve his voice and poetry, and other times I think that he was put here to heal it. Either way, deserving or not, I am glad he is here. The world is better for it
Very nice coming back to this album, always been a lovely song
A completely different song from the one included in the album.
Amazing version!!! Love it!!!
Pure magic
It's like a whole nother song! And I can't believe how much good footage there still is from that photoshoot. Your mum is a genius too. :)
You know you are about to be taken on a journey when you listen to a Hozier song
Yes! Yes! Yes! Love you!
listening to this while sitting in my backyard listening to the soft rain ❤ life is a blessing
Actually sobbing this is so beautiful
If I hadn’t seen Hozier live, I still wouldn’t believe he is real.
Ngl I'm still not convinced despite seeing him live lmaoo
Sweet God! This rendition is an ethereal cascade of beauty, stirring the depths of the soul with its raw intimacy and sublime resonance. I wish I could listen to it for the first time again ❤🔥
That just dissolved all my worries and took me to another place. Thanks Andrew
This feels like a warm hug.
Bravo, and thank you❤
I need this version of every song!!
Very Beautiful. This is one of my new favorites. My all time absolutely fav is SHRIKE.
I adore your music which touches my soul. Thank you with love 💗
I honestly love you, Hozier. Oh my heart. 🔥
A master of his craft.
ideal for a slower day of putting my crumbled self together
This is so deeply soothing. The Be that we got on Wasteland, Baby was an anthem. This version is a gentle embrace where it's okay to weep and be comforted.
Be is one of my favorite Hozier songs, I was listening to Wasteland, baby! just yesterday or the day before (as usual) and now this version is so beautiful, thanks Andrew and team, it was exactly what I needed right now. ❤️💚💙
I dont think you truly know how this changed lives
This man,s carving of love is beyond...Like, his love songs actually capture the ESSENCE of love, i dont remember an artist who can capture love in love songs like hoxier does❤
The footage matches so beautifully with the song.
Hozier is a gift to this World you are highly appreciated and loved.
It’s like listening to stardust falling all over my heart. So warm and beautiful and soft. 🥰❤️❤️
This is straight up poetry Andrew 😭😭😭 It’s so beautiful😭😭😭
Listened to it. Meditated to it. Cried to it. Hozier healing scars I buried as a kid, healing scars I carved growing up. Thank god for you. Gratitude 🌻❤️
Hozier's acoustic songs are very beautiful!
Damn it Hozier you kept those footages for FIVE YEARS
This is most beautiful and moving. You always have a place in my heart. Never stop creating music. You are the bard of our times.
this album will forever live in my heart
Going to my first Hozier concert in 2 months. In my 40 years of a beautiful life, I can’t remember being more excited about anything, except my first trip to Ireland. Hozier has been the soundtrack to my life for the past year ❤ LFG 🎉
Hozier is the most talented man in the universe!!! Regarding all aspects of everything!!! ♥️
Dropping this on a random Friday just blessed me. I'm freaking out right now!!
I just heard this and had an out of body experience, this man has such a gift
This feels like stepping into a painting it really envelops you
Absolutely gorgeous and haunting. Fun to see more of the underwater footage too.
Honey wake up, Hozier’s released another song that will heal our souls ❤❤
Listening to this version makes me feel like I'm finally at peace. Such a magnificent voice.
Thank you so much for this.❤
A lovely surprise on a rainy Friday evening in Wales. Thank you, it’s perfect.
Perfect for when the flowers first bloom.
I,ve never experienced real live but listening to hozier songs give me a glimpse of how beautiful it can feel...🖤
His voice is hypnotizing like that of mythical beings.
The song is great too.
Beautiful version of the song. So lovely! ❤
This is the purest form of art
Full body chills!!! For the entire song!!! I'm am changed!!!
i dont know what i did to deserve to be able to hear this in my lifetime
I really don’t know the right words to say.😭😭😭 Hozier you are a gift that keeps giving
TWENTY ONE PILOTS YESTERDAY AND HOZIER TODAY???? WHAT A DREAM!!!!!
completely and utterly in love with this version
Love this Acoustic versión.
I've been listening to you since I was 14, I'm 24 now and I've never not been over the moon about your music.
this version is so beautifully ethereal

i heard this at such a perfect time because i've really been considering coming out to my family. i think i might do it tomorrow! that's absolutely not at all what this is about but interpretation is a wonderful part of experiencing music :) thank you hozier!! this is amazing
Hey friend, any update?
"Which side of the wall really suffers that cost?" Genius. We didn't lose Paradise; Paradise lost us. As countries that put up walls also miss out on the diaspora. I know that line was also in the album version, but it really shines here.
Keep the diaspora, I want homeland
