    I don't know Hozier personally but he really doesn't know how brilliant he is as a lyricist and musician. He is, by far, one of the Superior writers and music makers of today. I only hope he keeps putting his mark on this world with his gorgeous songs and music , along with the musicians he has currently working with him on his tours. They are incredible as a little collective on stage. Hozier needs to accept that he is fantastic. His live shows are better than most. I saw him in Belfast in Dec 2023 and seeing De Selby performed was....WOW........Amazing and beautiful.

Now I know why. I love it that he opens up about his struggles, being the private person that he is. We can all learn from him. To me the definition of greatness is Andrew himself. His music, authenticity, thoughtfulness, humbleness, activism and empathy are things I truly admire.

    What you should tell yourself is that you have created something, even if it doesn’t sell. How many people can truly say that? Probably not one in every ten thousand. Who knows? Nick Drake was like the Van Gogh of music - he only became famous years after his death. Having said that, I wish you the best and hope that you get to enjoy the fruits of your labour. The point being is if it’s down, you never know when it will touch people. Herman Melville’s book, originally The Whale, became famous about 60 or 70 years later, at around the end of the First World War, nearly thirty years after his death, as Moby Dick Get it down first.

    The best part about Hozier is he is true to himself while making his art. Why release music that isn't expressive of who you are at the core?? He makes music for a very specific ear and I am so here for it. And he is cool with that. And he's just one of the best artists and singer/songwriters all around. He's down to earth and so vulnerable. Saying he doesn't really need external validation goes to show that he is so humble. I love him. I can't help it.

    Really loved this whole interview and the emotionally intelligent interviewer, I'm really impressed. One of the best things about being around the same age as Hozier is that his music really does have emotional truth that packs a timely punch. There are lots of great moments in this interview, but I think the ones that I most vibe with is the purpose of art and the artist - healing, solidarity, and being the hand the squeezes before a catastrophe. I suppose another surprising moment was the discussion about sound being an even more fundamental perception than sight.

    “Were you worried about not making another hit after such a successful single early on?” Hozier after his first single: *comes out with another 100 deep, eternal banger-thirst-fests of songs*

    Thank you for this lovely interview, Lewis! Hozier's music has been in my life like "the squeezing hand, that never abandons me" when I mostly need. He is the true bard of our times, an amazing artist, such a beautiful human being.

    I recently rediscovered Hozier. We are both pisces and our birthdays arw a few days apart. I love his humble and transparent demeanor. I was lucky to see him in April and i plan to never miss a show when he's in town. He has special fans. There were moments when the crowd would be silent to let Andrew sing to us. It felt so special and intimate. Incredible interview. Would love to have him back for a part 2. ❤

It’s just such a spiritual experience. I was in the Mexico City show and it was beautiful to see Andrew’s expressions and emotions when the whole audience turned cherry red ❤ I shared a clip of that incredible moment after seeing this interview.

    It's so funny to see Hozier talking about his music not necessarily belonging in the 10 most played because they are "not necessarily clubby", and then hit number 1 on Billboard with "Too Sweet". This man is amazing. May he continue to be able to do what makes him happy (cos sure it's making us happy too).

I gifted my son the book and I hope it will help to redirect him from the affects of toxic masculinity exemplified in his life. You are a blessing it's amazing to see you apply your knowledge to your relationships and discuss openly your significant changes with each and every guest. I can't thank you enough for getting us through the tough days.
