I love how he changes up the way he sings every song each time he sings live. It really makes you remember that these are *his* songs. There is no "wrong" way for him to sing them. Because he's Hozier.

You are just so right. I guess that's why I never get tired of watching every UTube clip of his, even if it is of the same song. Because no matter how many times he sings it, it always has a different feel. I think it is important to be able to retain a freshness in the approach on his part so that not only does the song not feel repetitive for us fans but for him as an artist as well. Or else even he himself will get tired of singing it. I mean, like he has been singing Take Me To Church live for nearly ten years now, but I still enjoy every rendition of it. Sometimes, there is more a defiance in the way he sings it. Other times, there is a feel of melancholy in it. I think this gives kudos to the kind of artist he is, so musically talented and really professional. And has a real respect and earnest dedication to his craft. He can only get better and better. Can't wait to see what he is able to achieve next in his musical career.
This man's voice will have a hold on me for the rest of my life.
He has one of those voices that no one else has in the world. Also an amazing songwriter and musician, sorrounded by really talented people as well. It would be amazing to see this man on a live concert

I was walking up to my festival and I heard his music through all of the other stages. I didn’t even know all of his music yet but I ran. I knew I was missing something important. I’ll never see a performer like him again. His voice doesn’t change from his album to person. I think his live voice is better. Everyone came to hozier and it was a hip hop festival. He’s different.

I could listen to him sing the humours of whiskey on repeat for literal hours. Wow
I had a mild fever before watching this and as the video ended I am sweating and the temperature's gone. I'm not saying Hozier is a fae but I'm not saying he's not.

He understands music in a way that I don't think most popular artist do. He uses chord procession and lyrics to his advantage to get his point across. His instrumentals are all beautiful and all of his lyrics make you feel at least some way .
I want to be with him when the world ends.

Right? I specifically wanted this version of movement but couldn't remember which video it was, so I just listened to two other live versions, and this ones is just so much cleaner and full bodied then the others
Just want an album of him doing Irish Folk songs not gonna lie, also yes to seeing him concert. I need that
In an age of vapid lyrics and songs written by committees of 5-9 songwriters who end up copying songs from the 70's THIS. THIS is what songs are ABOUT. Songs are about raw emotion. POWER! I so LOVE hearing a song that gives me chills and must be listened to over and over again to find the subtle details and sparkling gems of phrases and musical movements from minor to major and back again... I feel hope again. Thank you.
This version of "Nina Cried Power" gives the song new life.
The one thing that never ceases to amaze me, is how powerful he sounds, with how little effort it looks like he’s putting in. It just seemed so simple for him to do
That vocal control in The Humours of Whiskey. Oh, my.
The Humours of Whiskey 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. Brunel to dig the Thames Tunnel Sure wasn't it whiskey from old Inishowen So we'll stick to the crater the bеst thing in nature For sinkin' your sorrows and raisin' your joys And boys I half wonder if lighting and thunder Was madе from the plunder of whiskey me boys
The fact that the last show I saw live was his before the pandemic hit makes me happy ❤️
He looks so tired here, and still sounds so absolutely beautiful.

I still watch you when you're groovin' As if through water from the bottom of a pool You're movin' without movin' And when you move, I'm moved You are a call to motion There, all of you a verb in perfect view Like Jonah on the ocean When you move, I'm moved When you move I'm put to mind of all that I wanna be When you move I could never define all that you are to me So move me, baby Shake like the bough of a willow tree You do it naturally Move me, baby You are the rite of movement Its reasonin' made lucid and cool I know it's no improvement When you move, I move You're less Polunin leapin' Or Fred Astaire in sequins Honey, you, you're Atlas in his sleepin' And when you move, I'm moved When you move I can recall somethin' that's gone from me When you move Honey, I'm put in awe of somethin' so flawed and free So move me, baby Shake like the bough of a willow tree You do it naturally Move me, baby So move me, baby Like you've nothin' left to prove And nothin' to lose Move me, baby Ooh, ooh, ooh Oh baby, oh baby Move like grey skies Move like a bird of paradise Move like an odd sight come out at night Move me, baby Shake like the bough of a willow tree You do it naturally Move me, baby So move me, baby Like you've nothin' left to lose And nothin' to prove Move me, baby So move me, baby Shake like the bough of a willow tree You do it naturally Move me, baby
I love the original recordings of all his songs most, but I do love that he switches things up every time he performs things. I get the sense that he gets bored singing the same thing over and over!
Nina Cried Power [Verse 1: Hozier] It's not the waking, it's the rising It is the grounding of a foot uncompromising It's not forgoing of the lie It's not the opening of eyes It's not the waking, it's the rising It's not the shade, we should be past it It's the light, and it's the obstacle that casts it It's the heat that drives the light It's the fire it ignites It's not the waking, it's the rising It's not the song, it is the singing It's the heaven of a human spirit ringing It is the bringing of the line It is the bearing of the rhyme It's not the waking, it's the rising [Chorus: Hozier & Mavis Staples] And I could cry power (Power), power (Power) Power, Lord Nina cried power Billie cried power Mavis cried power And I could cry (Power) power, (Power) power Hey, power Curtis cried power Patti cried power Nina cried power [Verse 2: Hozier] It's not the wall, but what's behind it Oh, the fear of fellow man, it's mere assignment And everything that we're denied By keeping the divide It's not the waking, it's the rising [Chorus: Hozier & Mavis Staples] And I could cry power (Power), power (Power) Oh, power Nina cried power Lennon cried power James Brown cried power And I could cry (Power) power, (Power) power Hey, power B.B. cried power Joni cried power Nina cried power [Bridge: Mavis Staples] And I could cry power Power has been cried by those stronger than me Straight into the face that tells you to Rattle your chains if you love being free [Chorus: Hozier & Mavis Staples] But I could cry power (Power) 'Cause power is my love when my love reaches to me James Brown cried power Seeger cried power Marvin cried power Yeah ah, power James cried power Lennon cried power Patti cried power Billie, power Dylan, power Woody, power Nina cried power
Movement [Verse 1] I still watch you when you're groovin' As if through water from the bottom of a pool You're movin' without movin' And when you move, I'm moved You are a call to motion There, all of you a verb in perfect view Like Jonah on the ocean When you move, I'm moved [Pre-Chorus] When you move I'm put to mind of all that I wanna be When you move I could never define all that you are to me [Chorus] So move me, baby Shake like the bough of a willow tree You do it naturally Move me, baby [Verse 2] You are the rite of movement Its reasonin' made lucid and cool I know it's no improvement When you move, I move You're S. Polunin leapin' Or Fred Astaire in sequence Honey, you, you're Atlas in his sleepin' And when you move, I'm moved [Pre-Chorus] When you move I can recall somethin' that's gone from me When you move Honey, I'm put in awe of somethin' so flawed and free [Chorus] So move me, baby Shake like the bough of a willow tree You do it naturally Move me, baby So move me, baby Like you've nothin' left to prove And nothin' to lose Move me, baby [Bridge] Ooh, ooh, ooh Oh baby, oh baby Move like grey skies Move like a bird of paradise Move like an odd sight come out at night [Chorus] Move me, baby Shake like the bough of a willow tree You do it naturally Move me, baby So move me, baby Like you've nothin' left to lose And nothin' to prove Move me, baby So move me, baby Shake like the bough of a willow tree You do it naturally Move me, baby
Hozier is a Genius, I'm wondering what will come next on his career cause what he has so far is gold.
This is becoming part of my morning ritual. Powerful sounds.
Fantastic, like everything this man sings. Suzanne Santosuosso, singing while you play the violin can't be easy! It's not exactly the most comfortable position to breathe! And yet you do them both so well!
I love the expression of artists that hear their feelings in sound. Just the rhythm of the live clap makes me happy. The bells make me sentimental. He’s brilliant! ~Sheeara, Alaska
goodness gracious the harmonies are so good!
I love Hozier, it is beautiful to watch his group. His music is very interesting, a very enjoyable presence and music and lyrics are fabulous...
This man is deadly passionate...a huge inspiration 🌟
I just watch this and then watch it again. I think I will watch it again now. And then maybe again, again.
He sings with his heart. Such a beautiful voice and a very gifted artist.
listening to this to calm down before my LSAT. Wish me luck!!
Almost (Sweet Music) [Verse 1] I came in from the outside, burned out from a joy ride She likes to roll here in my ashes anyway Played from the bedside is "Stella by Starlight" That was my heart, the drums that start off "Night and Day" [Pre-Chorus 1] The same kind of music haunts her bedroom I'm almost me again, she's almost you [Chorus] I wouldn't know where to start Sweet music playing in the dark Be still, my foolish heart Don't ruin this on me I wouldn't know where to start Sweet music playing in the dark Be still, my foolish heart Don't ruin this on me [Verse 2] Tell me who, and I'll be thanking them The numbered lovers of Duke Ellington Do I owe each kiss to lip and cheek as soft as Chet can sing Let's get lost and let the good times roll Let smoke rings from this paper doll Blow sweet and thick 'til every thought of it don't mean a thing [Pre-Chorus 2] I got some colour back, she thinks so, too I laugh like me again, she laughs like you [Chorus] I wouldn't know where to start Sweet music playing in the dark Be still, my foolish heart Don't ruin this on me I wouldn't know where to start Sweet music playing in the dark Be still, my foolish heart Don't ruin this on me [Bridge] I wouldn't know where I wouldn't know where I wouldn't know where, I wouldn't know where I wouldn't, mmm I wouldn't know where I wouldn't know where I wouldn't know where, I wouldn't know where I wouldn't know [Verse 3] The very thought of you and am I blue? A love supreme seems far removed I get along without you very well some other nights Oh, the radio news reader chimes Reporting Russian lullabies She'll turn to me awake and ask, "Is everything alright?" And, Lord [Chorus] I wouldn't know where to start Sweet music playing in the dark Be still, my foolish heart Don't ruin this on me I wouldn't know where to start Sweet music playing in the dark Be still, my foolish heart Don't ruin this on me I wouldn't know where to start Sweet music playing in the dark (I wouldn't know where) Be still, my foolish heart Don't ruin this on me I wouldn't know where to start Sweet music playing in the dark (I wouldn't know where) Be still, my foolish heart Don't ruin this on me
OH MY GOD HES GONNA SING MOVEMENT JESUS CHRIST I LOVE THAT SONG SO SO SO MUCH
everything about hozier is magical. i can only hope i get to experience the same eerie vibe i get from his studio work in a real live show too, someday:)
Everything is so perfect, but man! 5:40 whoooo chills!
He's amazing. They are all amazing. I wish I'll be a musician like them

Everything he sings turns into a masterpiece! This is just phenomenal 🖤👌 Every musician & artist who participated in this, made it spectacular!
Something about his voice just pulls me in - so beautiful
I just became a Hozier fan...Wow never expected that! :)
I love the soul put into those claps, well done

Unique, deep songs by an incredible artist. So much talent.
Talented all, and the middle backing singer/percussionist is just wow !
This performer is so well thought out and talented! Let's see where they go 🤩
I never tire of this live performance which I listen to very often ! This version of Movement is incredible 😍 And congratulations to all the musicians and singers who accompanied Hozier for this ! You all sounded amazing together !
I have been lucky enough to see Hozier twice ❤ and i will go again and again!!
I wish he sung the entire Humors of Whiskey. There's 4.5 minutes he skipped. 😂
This man is priceless. Thank you Hozier your songs comfort me
Que obra de arme meu irmão!!! Sensacional!!

Oh my God I'm so completely in LOVE WITH YOU HOZIER!!!! I can't get enough!!!

Love your music ,lyrics and songs,but most of all your voice ,you. Have a beautifull voice it is magical.
🎉Where have I been all these past years? I do not know what mountain I have been buried under all these years to have missed all HOZIER music and that😢 beautiful man! Lonely woman that I have been!!!
Maravilhoso! Emocionante 👏😍
Mad love to the back-up clapping gals in the first track 😅 that was sine tricky stuff 🤪😘👏🙌🤜🤛❣️
would be dope to see a movie use Movement in a scene because I swear I spoiled a movie somewhere out there just by listening to this song.
Love This 💯💖
Love the intro and energetic vibes ❤
Andrew es todo lo que está bien en la vida. 😍💫
Good music really does change you.

Hozier is in the top 1% in many categories. ❤
Incluso cuando aparenta cantar sin ganas, o cansado, o aburrido.... su voz es celestialmente perfecta.

I’m convinced on this one.
