Take him as example and start practicing. Aim high, start low. I did, I started playing guitar this summer and I took it one song at a time, if it seems easy enough I have a go at it and I keep at it untill I can manage it enough. Then I go on to another.

Sometimes I look at this man and instantly become a Renaissance sculptor slaving away carving stone to capture his likeness but not even coming close. It's one thing to wonder what it would be like to be this man's muse; it's another for him to be your muse.

Hozier's voice is forever my drug
This whole band is absolutely incredible. Also shout out to the sound design. It's a masterpiece
The syncopation between the claps, bass drum, guitar line and time signature is sick AF. Beautifully recorded and produced.
That lil dodododo shes hitting in the background is something special too. Jst every person and every aspect of this is breathtaking to me
His voice, the lyrics, the band, the arrangement, the rhythm, the time signature. This song is pure awesomeness!
He's heaven on earth
He’s an Irish Bob Dylan. Poetic.
Such a ' sweet music' for my ears.

Wow, the sound quality of this version is stunning! You can hear all the instruments and voices so clearly. Such a work of art.

The chills I get from the layers and amazing vocals of this song 😎
His voice is timeless. Just a gift from God
Hozier's singing could stomp on me and I'd still say thank you.
Years from now people will discover this genius. How blessed we are to walk among him.
I'm still working on doing the clapping part lol not quite there.
Wtf. This is so good
Almost is one of my absolute faves from the Wasteland, Baby album🥰💯
Oh Hozier♥️ his music is a piece of Heaven in Earth.
Idc id wait a lifetime for a shred of music from him. I’m that hooked
I could listen to his voice on repeat; andrew is amazingly talented
What a beautiful soul
Love the sound mixing on this - bass + back-up singers especially pop!
As a lifelong jazz fan I love this song
I'm addicted to this song. What an incredible performance! I'm almost me again.
Wow... *wipes away tears* this is too beautiful.
He has the most beautiful words
Hozier is fucking amazing.. every song.. every time
I’ll always be convinced that he’s just perfect.
Just when I thought I couldn't love him more❤️
Dayum hozier he’s just as good live
Mind blowing great! Human Masterpiece
This song is so complex; layer after layer. Making it look effortless. Crazy skills.
So thankful for you & your music 💜☺️
Watching this in Dunkin Donuts as I was eating breakfast, and I didn’t realize that I started tapping my feet and swaying to the music. Love it! Pretty much my favorite all time artist
I love hozier ❤️❤️
I swear my soul ascended after listening to this.
I am fully convinced it doesn’t get better than Hozier. Like he’s reached the peak of talent
I love this and never knew I would need this but I do now.
it's a breath in the wind !! thank's
Finally going to see him live in November. Yoo hoo!
Love this guy!
So good... amazing! 👍☺
BEAUTIFUL! WHAT AN AMAZING VOICE!
Everything he does is so amazing!!!
Thank you for uploading!!! We can't have enough of Hozier!!! His music is enchanting! ❤️❤️❤️
I have nothing but love for Hozier and the band and his beautiful lyrics 💜
The band's names are a bit off... It's Cormac Curran and Rachel Beauregard. Jess Berry is often introduced to the audience by her artist name Thandii, and pretty much everyone calls the violin girl Suzanne Santo (her last name is Santosuosso).

Absolute magic and mystic and poetry. Bliss. Endless. Right here.
i could, and will continue to, listen to the first verse over and over again
He's simply adorable :PPP
I love you with all my heart.
Sweet music
This song makes me cry so much 💚
Wow wow wow!! So incredible!! What performance!
Hoizer's voice is already everything wonderful in the world, but when listening to him while tripping it's literally like being in heaven on earth. ❤❤
He is just an amazing talent
My favorite song! ❤
Getting hyped for his concert in London soon. 😍
Thankyou for sweet music to help the soul thrive to create in the land of distraction 🌅🌈🌅🌈🌸🌟
I can listen to him all the time, his music is too too tooo good
His music is the first I listen to when I rise in the morning and the last to bless me to sleep at night. I also listen to him throughout each day ! Blessings and love to him - always !
Uplifting truly . Songbird of our lifetime 💜💜🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿
This has always been my favourite Hozier song but this makes it even moreso. I hugely admire him for the love he gives all the artists in this song. Duke Ellignton, Chet Baker, Ella Fitzgerald... all the greats
Corey Schreppel did an incredible job mixing this audio. I hope they have a lot of fun when they do their job, this sounds amazing.
What an amazing talent. I haven't found a weak cut on any of his lp's (try doing that)so his song writing is impeccable. He has beautiful voice and his guitar playing is exceptional. I sure enjoyed his show at Roy Wilkins Auditorium.
