Hozier's "Take Me To Church" is one of my all time favorite songs to come out of the last decade, and some of the amazing covers that have been done have let that song continue to live on towards infamy. So when he dropped a new single last month that's already reach number 1 on the top 100 on Billboard, it was no surprise for that to happen, and no shocker for me to want to listen to it for the first time here!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Hozier performing "Too Sweet" for the first time.

Most underestimated lyric in this song IMO: "Pretty as a vine, sweet as a grape, if you can sit in a barrel, maybe I'll wait"

@OpDDay2001 3 ай бұрын

I... just got it. I didn't the barrel line until just now. Wine. He's saying if she ferments (matures) into Wine, he'll be there.

@SubroutineLtd 3 ай бұрын

@@OpDDay2001 I think something similar. He is saying she is too sweet and contrasts that with his love of black coffee, neat whiskey and hard living. Whiskey is distilled from grain and stored in barrels to mature. Same goes for Brandy which can be distilled from fruit, including grapes. So I think the analogy is for hard liquor rather than wine which ferments in bottles - point is of course that in the future she may become less sweet and be right for him.

I think he says “you treat your mouth as if it’s Heaven’s gate” because only good things can get in, “the rest of you like you’re the TSA” because they’re very careful about what gets through it. The girl he’s describing makes only really healthy decisions about what she eats and what she does, which is the crux of why he’s saying they’re not compatible, because he likes drinking whiskey and staying up too late and doesn’t really care about longevity as much as he does enjoying the little time he has alive. She’s literally too good for his taste - too sweet.

@The_Noblest_Roman Ай бұрын

Oh, I think I have a different take here, but it might be a bit too much of a deep cut. If "you treat your mouth as if it’s Heaven’s gate" is meant to be CONTRASTED against "the rest of you like you’re the TSA" then I think the idea is that she is a religiously healthy eater to the point of being incompatibly un-fun, while in matters of physical affection and intimacy it's more like security theater; a big show of being strongly protected, but in the end mostly an ineffectual facade.

Hozier is steeped in Folk and Blues and Jazz standards. I highly recommend you look into him even more. If you want to check out his lyricisms, some of my favorites are "Jackie and Wilson," "De Selby (Part 1)," "De Selby (Part 2)," "Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene," "Nina Cried Power," "Francesca," "Eat Your Young," and "Damage Gets Done." He also did a live acapella version of one of my favorite Irish folk songs called "Humours of Whiskey" which I love so much!

@foxandscout 3 ай бұрын

The live version of Nina Cried Power with Mavis Staples: so freaking great! I was lucky to see him in a smallish place (Bowery Ballroom,NYC- a venue I love) for a cheap price. It was a special sneaky announcement during his MSG gig (sold out and way to expensive). And I was lucky enough to get a ticket! I did not get to see, but that same week he played a bunch of songs at the back of a restaurant. I saw it live online so I wonder if it’s on KZfaq? The year prior, I saw him at a medium-sized venue (great seats) when he toured Wasteland, Baby! Since then I just can’t afford tix. I was just lucky with the gig at Bowery Ballroom. Standing only, low stage: they don’t oversell so it’s comfortable and you can see from anywhere. One good thing about living in NYC: lots of opportunities to hear music one loves. I was fortunate enough to accidentally see Hozier 5+ years ago… when I was going home after work, (in midtown) at a subway station down by the tracks. He sang 5 songs including Take Me to Church (first song-I missed most of it); Work Song; Nina Cried Power. Other musicians have played in subway stations including Ed Sheeran and U2. The least expensive at his upcoming shows in Queens, NYC in June are just too expensive plus it’s a long subway ride from me in Brooklyn, 3 trains. And it’s a big outdoor stadium. My good friend lives a few blocks away: she said you can plainly hear shows when standing outside. So maybe a last minute decision… depending on the weather…

how i interpreted "you treat your mouth as if it's haven gate" is like someone who refuses to put junk, or anything "too sinful" in their mouth. treating it like a temple like you said. and the "the rest of you like you're the tsa" as in they're being just as strict with the rest of their body's "security". the symbolism/metaphors in this song slap almost harder than the bass IMO. i love love love this kind of imagery in music. truly a wordsmith and a master of his craft. and that verse that comes after, tells me this isn't someone they want to outright reject from their life. they're just someone who needs to "lose a little of their sweetness" to be palatable. cause they go on to say "babe don't get me wrong, you're as bright as the morning, as soft as the rain, pretty as a vine, as sweet as a grape", but he's saying he doesn't want the grapes, he wants the wine!. "if you can sit in a barrel," THEN "maybe I'll wait" but until then they're going to "take my whisky neat, my coffee black, and my bed at 3" i.e. I'll enjoy the bitter things in life that are real/more palatable to me. this song blew me away. i spent 6+ hours listening to it so I can try and sing It for karaoke asap.

The song seems to be about a partner (or ex) who is obsessed with health/diet, longevity, structure/discipline, and a kind of purity, whereas he says he wants it gritty, chaotic, anything goes, carefree, spontaneous, and darker. He's the "bad boy" and shes the "good girl".

@MordredsGirl 3 ай бұрын

I’d argue it’s more complex than ‘bad boy’ ‘good girl.’ More along the lines of ‘I’d rather interact with the world as it/I am, rather than expressing toxic positivity and trying to optimize my life.’ There’s an article called ‘i found the tenth circle of hell’ and it’s a great breakdown of the song and the general public’s interpretation of it.

@justinw1765 3 ай бұрын

@@MordredsGirl Well I agree for the most part, which is why that came at the end and was "quoted". But one could argue that it is the ego part of us that gets in the way of self improvement. We need a balance between accepting (and being conscious) our shadow and ourselves, warts and all, while also trying to improve/evolve/grow. These "characters" in the song are two necessary, opposite sides of the same coin. Hozier is Pisces and the lass is Virgo. They are attracted to each other precisely because they are not whole people and each has what the other lacks and what balances/complements each other. But opposites both can attract _and_ repel at different times, just like opposite signs in synastric astrology. It's this dance of push pull and integration-polarization that happens. In real life, Hozier seems to be obsessed with sex, and very well may be a sex addict. That is a very limiting pattern to be stuck in. His ego will tell him that it is ok, because it is what he enjoys, meanwhile that quiet, still, inner voice that comes from his Spirit/Expanded self may be whispering, "you need to change this, to heal, you're holding us/you back".

I heard this on the radio yesterday for the first time, and while I couldn't pay full attention cus I was driving I did think it was great. Now I'm able to listen to it properly for the first time right along with you and I LOOOOOOVEEE it!! I've loved Hozier for years and this just gave me chills! (yes I have a fever right now, but that is not the point)

Not sure if you've heard much from Cold, but the song Quiet Now puts me in tears when I hear it. Scooter Ward is such a beautifully tragic soul and it shines through his performance. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend.

So, although I am new to this channel, I have become accustomed to @The Charismatic Voice being excited, happy, joyous, etc when it comes to music. Of all the videos of Elizabeth's that I have seen so far, this is by far the best reaction I have seen from her. Wow, she was so happy listening to this. You can see this all through the video. Elizabeth, you are making me appreciate music on a whole different level. Thank you so much. I promise to try to appreciate music at a deeper level than I have done so far. I tend to go with emotions - head banging moment, melancholy moment, etc. There is so much more to appreciate that I hadn't realised until I watched you. I hope that you, your family, friends, and all of your fans have a wonderful day.

God I love this man. He's been such a breath of fresh air in the music business. And his lyrics are absolutely insane every time. The entire Unreal Unearth album is an unbelievable masterpiece of thematic work. His first album is the same. The middle one is very thematically tied as well, but it's a slow burn kind of album that doesn't hit you quite as hard quite as fast as the other two. Everything he does seems to be touched with gold. He's one of those few artists who I'm always excited to see what he's going to do next and holding my breath.

@jimdunlap5761 3 ай бұрын

Yes. Hozier. You rock E. He has such a sweet voice. Maybe Northern Attitude with Noah Kahan(toughest ticket in showbiz right now) and Hozier next up?

I did a really cool Hozier collab analysis over on Patreon, but this will be the first analysis I've posted on KZfaq. I truly LOVE his voice (obviously since I love "Take Me To Church" so much) so we'll see if this goes anywhere!

Noah Kahan is really killing it vocally now. And, he and Hozier are good buds and frequent collaborators. Really some of the best music being released. I’m so happy I watched Elizabeth’s reaction before the song set up in my head. Every listening I’ll be reveling in his nuances.

Had the pleasure of seeing him live twice although a few years apart. I am not of his generation slightly older 🙄 haha. The best live performer out there by far. Not just for his superb singing of his crafted lyrics, but his musicianship and his ability to surround himself with like minded gifted hard working artists and tour roadies. I hope you get the chance to go and see him you will love it :-)

I had not listened to this song suprisingly until i heard it live the other night. It was like the music grabbed me by the shirt and just pulled me in to it. Hard to explain really but it literally blew me away for those 4 minutes. Fantastic song.

I thought the inclusion of the bells was very clever because we associate them with weddings, yes, but also funerals. It’s a play on beginnings and ends in a breakup song.
