Best cover of young americans I've ever heard

I was 16 when I was in this room hearing him play this live, I was in awe. I rediscover it every year or so and it blows my mind every time. Such a masterpiece of a song, only made more heart wrenching by this beautiful cover. So beautiful.

my my... Hozier, what have you done to me?... I can't stop listening to you... I just can't... I'm going insane, I've been so unproductive in the past 2 weeks and a half binging around your songs and covers.

Fine tribute, with an interesting interpretation of a particular Bowie era song.

is it wrong that im crying right now? holy fuck this is beautiful!!

I was there - it was such a moving cover and the atmosphere in the room was something else!

Every new song I find from him is a whole emotional experience....he is a treasure!

thank you so much for putting this out into the world i am eternally greatful.

so underestimated. this is the best musician on the planet. covering one of the best songs written. I've not heard a bad cover or original from him.

I fall in love with him everyday ♥♥♥

a most fitting and brilliant tribute to a brilliant musician .

I didn't manage to record the whole song when I saw him. It truly is an amazing tribute to the legend that is Bowie!!

Great tribute to Bowie!

Smooth as fuck cover

I feel that I have to comment, again. As musicians pass, one by one, my generation is saddened, as are generations before me. The best of the best for me is Freddie, Bowie, Prince, Tom Petty. To never hear their voice or hear new music makes me feel nostalgic. However, once in a lifetime someone special comes around, once in a lifetime and you get chills each and every time you hear his voice. Andrew is that person. I am so blessed to live in his time.

Oh my God! When I think I've heard Hozier, I find another brilliant, amazing, stunning cover. I can't explain what you've done for me. I simply adore you! You are my heart. My all time fav, and that is saying something. I never thought anyone could be in that position, cuz I've loved these others so long in my long life. Then you came along and stole my heart. God Bless You Andrew!!!! And Thank You! Mind blown again by you. ♡♡♡

Chills! I’m just getting into Hozier’s music and he’s incredible. David Bowie has been someone I’ve idolised since I was a child. He was the greatest songwriter of all time. This is beautiful.

Lyrics They pulled in just behind the bridge He lays her down, he frowns Gee my life's a funny thing, am I Still too young? He kissed her then and there She took his ring, took his babies It took him minutes, took her nowhere Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but All night She wants the young American Young American, young American She wants the young American All right She wants the young American Scanning life through the picture window She finds the slinky vagabond He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang, but Heaven forbid, she'll take anything But the freak, and his type, all for nothing He misses a step and cuts his hand, but Showing nothing, he swoops like a song She cries "Where have all Papa's heroes gone?" All night She wants the young American Young American, young American She wants the young American All right She wants the young American All the way from Washington Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor We live for just these twenty years Do we have to die for the fifty more? All night He wants the young American Young American, young American He wants the young American All right He wants the young American Do you remember, your President Nixon? Do you remember, the bills you have to pay? Or even yesterday? All night You want the young American Young American, young American You want the young American All right You want the young American You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache (I heard the news today, oh boy) I got a suite and you got defeat Ain't there a man who can say no more? And, ain't there a woman I can Sock on the jaw? And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging? Ain't there a pen that will write before they die? Ain't you proud that you've still got faces? Ain't there one damn song that can make me Break down and cry? All night I want the young American Young American, young American I want the young American All right I want the young American Young American Young American, young American I want the young American All night You and I I want you I Young American, young American I want the young American All right I want the young American Young American, young American I want the young American All night

One of my favorite Bowie songs, in love with this cover! Thank you Hozier!

I was a huge Bowie fan. That being said, Andrew is so talented, so intelligent, so sexy...and he doesn't even know it!

This is beautiful

Omg such a beautiful! I can't think of anyone better to do this tribute!

how come i haven't listened to this cover yet. If i didn't know other artists ever existed, i would think it's all Hozier's cause he makes those covers just sound that way. It should be all on Spotify, One huge cover album. C'mon Andy

I grew up with David Bowie’s music and was very skeptical about this cover, well done!! Well done!!!

Only word for Hozier's tribute cover Amazing!

Still one of my favorite covers of Young Americans. I hope Hozier makes a cover songs album one day that features Young Americans and Changes

What a good cover Hozier ! Bravo !

Amazing cover. ❤❤❤

brilliant, just brilliant !

That was exceptional.

You're so lucky to have seen this performance - so good!

This was my original favourite bowie song , hozier is a dude

Just Wonderful? Love You. You make a brilliant out of a diamond.

Oh my, this is so moving. Thank you Hozier for getting this so very right 😭🖤

I love this cover!!!

hozier eres maravilloso!! 😙😙😙😙😍😍😍

Great cover. I can’t stop listening to you.

Wonderful. Love that it is fully acoustic. Mr. Bowie's passing hit me especially hard, mainly because this song was such a part of my life some 40 years ago. Thanks for posting.

hadn’t seen this one before! andy did a beautiful job. miss bowie sm.

so beautiful

This is an insanely soulful cover that would have knocked Bowie himself over. x

As usual a perfect Hozier interpretation x

Nice tribute! Thanks hozier

Brilliant

So Lovely....Thanks #CarolineDowney #tbt #hozier #YoungAmerican Brilliant ❤

This was so good 🤩🤩🤩🤩

That was great : )

Wow!

3:26 - 3:30 wow

Wow.

Stunning rendition. When I saw that he was attempting this I cringed. Great job.

PLEASE do a studio cover of this song!

A lot of people are gonna hate me but I like it better than the original. Theres not one cover this mans done that wasn't just amazing!

Please record for your next record🤞

🥰🥰🥰

I 💜u)☺(my fellow pisces )

does anyone know the chords?

I heard the news today, oh boy...miss John Lennon too

What he say at 00:21 ?

is that 02/01/16 0r 01/02/16?

Makes poor old Gaga's efforts look even more pointless.

Hozier does Bowie better than Bowie, too bad Bowie could not hear this!

come on it's not good at all ...

was better , purer in the beginning without the nursing home hand clapping, his voice and guitar has the soul and could have nailed it without this...

Not good. Look at me, how cool am I?

Asinine,

i don't like this cover. that's too sad

Wow!
