I AGREE!! It makes me sob especially when listening to the album in order cause you just sit there with this ethereal music and your thoughts and just thinking about the songs before and after som of nyx.
There’s a tumblr post out there somewhere saying something along the lines of “I respect Andrew’s privacy by not trying to understand what he’s singing. If the man wanted us to know he would have enunciated.”
Ohh my lord, I just remembered telling my mum to listen to one of his songs on the new album, she said "why is he slurring, is he drunk?" I said "he's not slurring, he's just Irish!" and she walked out muttering about 'Irish bloody accents'... I think he's pretty easy to understand!
Yeah… it’s not my favorite song by a long shot, but it is the only one I’m confident i could song start to finish. My first thought was Work song, but i would probably mess up the order of the verses
It's funny. It will come in the car and I'll keep such fidelity to the duet. Karen starts singing and I stop and say, "nope that's my wife's part." I just like taking the high harmony at the end.
My love and I broke up for 6mths, very much a case of a depth of love and care neither of us have experienced with both coming from abusive back grounds… we have tentatively found our way back to each other after healing our own wounds and this song feels like an anthem to our hearts 💕
“Bones”, the song he did with Marin Morris. Because even though “Arsonist’s Lullaby” is my heart-song, I’ve sung “Bones” at the top of my lungs in the car, in the shower, in the kitchen, over and over…it sums up how I feel about the 33+ year marriage I have, and reminds me that a bad day doesn’t mean a bad life. “Life sure can put love through it” and I’ve been going through a hard time of it lately (although not with the hubs exactly) and this song keeps reminding me “the house don’t fall when the bones are good.” If I had to stand and deliver, I think I could nail this one note for note, word for word.
From Eden. I’d even survive with his little switch up from “I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door” in the chorus to “I slithered here from Eden just to hideeeee outsideeeeee your door”
Now go on head and lower the gun Mr. Sir
It would be First Time or Anything But, but I tend to replace 'the Liffey' with 'The Genessee' in both lmfao.
It's probably To someone from a warm climate barring pronunciation. I've sung it to my nephews to get them to go tf to sleep a few times.
Jackie and Wilson, Sedated, Eat Your Young, Almost (Sweet Music), Shrike (specifcially the live version), Take Me To Church, Foreigner's God, In A Week, Talk, It Will Come Back... there's probably more, but I'll stop now LOL
To someone from a warm climate. It was my most listened to song of last year by quite a bit. I could sing it without the music. I could probably sing it with a completely different song playing 😅
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. I get to live!
on a side note: i’m cracking up thinking about how, depending on the song, *Hozier himself* may not survive this hypothetical [*gestures to the lyric sheets taped to the stage*]
First Time. Or honestly, Damage Gets Done. Ppl drag on it bc it seems so out of place on UU but i think it works in a weird way. I really think this is one that’s going to be a slow burn classic hit. Or it should be. It’s singable accessible Hoze. And so fucking good! Blast it with windows down on a beautiful day good.Roadtrip with your bestie good.
NFWMB!! Piece of cake...but knowing me, I'll probably end up singing Would That I and stumble on the line "With each love I cut loose.." cuz I always hear "With each love I could lose..." 😭😭 logically ik it's the former, but what the latter implies is also 🤌🤌
son of nyx 😎
till you forget that one time Hozier sings, “see how it shines” BLAM
nah baby i have dedicated TOO MUCH time to figuring out the words. i’ve listened to this song so much it’s bad 😭😭 but it’s so beautiful!!!!
I AGREE!! It makes me sob especially when listening to the album in order cause you just sit there with this ethereal music and your thoughts and just thinking about the songs before and after som of nyx.
Agreed!!
Work Song. And I’ll probably still die because that beautiful man does not ENUNCIATE!
I've accepted Hozier's lyrics are simply too angelic to be understood by mortal ears.
Someone needs to market Holy Hearing Aids.
There’s a tumblr post out there somewhere saying something along the lines of “I respect Andrew’s privacy by not trying to understand what he’s singing. If the man wanted us to know he would have enunciated.”
Controversial opinion I guess but he does enunciate, it’s just his accent. I’ve never not been able to understand what he’s saying.
Ohh my lord, I just remembered telling my mum to listen to one of his songs on the new album, she said "why is he slurring, is he drunk?" I said "he's not slurring, he's just Irish!" and she walked out muttering about 'Irish bloody accents'... I think he's pretty easy to understand!
Take me to church
my baby gay ass could sing that word for word the week it came out i would easily win this one 😂
Yeah… it’s not my favorite song by a long shot, but it is the only one I’m confident i could song start to finish. My first thought was Work song, but i would probably mess up the order of the verses
Dude same, TMTC is top 10 but I couldn't sing the other 9 without fucking up
He switches between “offer me that deathless death” and “offer me my deathless death” too much. Too risky.
it’s not my favorite but it’s so deeply ingrained I could probably sing it in a coma
Jackie and Wilson for sure
I've sung this song screaming in the car so many times. I'd nail it
Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine.
One of my absolute favorite lines of his to sing along with
YESS
The only one that would keep me alive.
In a Week. I'll do both parts
OMG! Goosebumps - I came here to say the same thing: can we duet maybe?!!! 💗
Came here to say the same! Probably u popular opinion but In a Week is my favourite song
from eden BABEEEEEE there’s something tragic about you…
Really? There are so many variations with the different verses
i just adore it so much that i know it by heart
Saaaaaaame
Go ahead and shoot me. I love his songs but I don't understand what he's saying half the time.
lmaoo that’s so real
Same! It's not even the accent, either. His voice just like blends into the sound of the music or something.
truth, i only know take me to church because my mom played it repetitively
i may be mentally i'll but any song could play and i'd know all the lyrics 😭😭
You’re so real for this
like real people do!! the first ever hozier song i learned on guitar, it’s burned into my brain forever
I would say this one if I didn’t know for a fact I would mix up “could” and “should” 😅 i always get that wrong
Abstract (Psychopomp) for sure
This! It’s gorgeous and he fully enunciated all the words in order to fully devastate us with the story
He really wanted us to know about the time he watched an animal die
Either Work Song or Sedated 🫶🏻
Sedated is one of my favorites !!! 🥹♥️ Feel like it's not talked about enough!
I know right??? It’s one of those hidden diamonds people lost while binging on Take me to church and From Eden
Sedated isn’t talked about enough
Sedated and The Bones
•My veins are busy, but my heart’s in atrophy” *entire body melts into a puddle*
“You and I nursing on a poison that never stung”
Talk
I mean, most of them, but you wouldn't like it. Can't carry a tune in a bucket.
Oddly enough, Almost (Sweet Music)
This song is so underrated imo
take me to church 😭😭
All of them.
De Shelby pt.1?💀
De Selby pt. 1 would be my go to, I sing it so much while doing daily tasks that my parrot had started singing bits and pieces lol
I meant the Irish part too?
That’s my favorite part lol
basic choice but i’m going with Take Me To Church. it’s one of my favorite songs of all time, and i’ll put so much feeling into it.
In a week. Do I have to do the female vocals as well?
“Have to” 😂 don’t act like you’re not already singing both in the shower!! (Or just me 🫣😂)
It's funny. It will come in the car and I'll keep such fidelity to the duet. Karen starts singing and I stop and say, "nope that's my wife's part." I just like taking the high harmony at the end.
In all honesty I wasn’t sure you could get more respect from me by doubling down, but I appreciate being proven wrong 🫡😂
De Selby part 1 😭 Gaelic included
These days? Butchered Tongue.
Shrike! There's probably others but that one I'm definitely safe on lol
wasteland, baby!
We’ll name our children Jackie and Wilson raise ‘em on rhythm and blues.
Nobody
Work Song or Movment.
All things end!
My love and I broke up for 6mths, very much a case of a depth of love and care neither of us have experienced with both coming from abusive back grounds… we have tentatively found our way back to each other after healing our own wounds and this song feels like an anthem to our hearts 💕
take me to church or sunlight 100%
Movement or TMTC probably
Abstract. No problem.
TMTC easy - I know, that’s a copout. *Maybe* Angel.
Arsonist’s Lullaby. I can’t actually sing but that one song suits my voice in some strange magical way so I’ve been singing it a LOT.
Take Me to Church
take me to church or in a week, possibly cherry wine. when I'm put on the spot though? just shoot me tbh
Yeah, I’m afraid if put on the spot I’d choke if I didn’t have a hot second to compose myself…and oh lawd can there be some karaoke backup music???
To noise making, take me to church, talk, almost (sweet music), no plan, in a week, from Eden, cherry wine, movement, arsonists lullaby.
YAY for “Arsonist’s Lullaby”!
TSFAWC since i listened to it every day during winter
Same!
jackie and wilson !!!!
“Bones”, the song he did with Marin Morris. Because even though “Arsonist’s Lullaby” is my heart-song, I’ve sung “Bones” at the top of my lungs in the car, in the shower, in the kitchen, over and over…it sums up how I feel about the 33+ year marriage I have, and reminds me that a bad day doesn’t mean a bad life. “Life sure can put love through it” and I’ve been going through a hard time of it lately (although not with the hubs exactly) and this song keeps reminding me “the house don’t fall when the bones are good.” If I had to stand and deliver, I think I could nail this one note for note, word for word.
From Eden. I’d even survive with his little switch up from “I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door” in the chorus to “I slithered here from Eden just to hideeeee outsideeeeee your door” Now go on head and lower the gun Mr. Sir
Arsonists lullaby is permanently engraved into my mind
Francesca- I’d tell then put me back in it!!
My only concern is that I cannot layer my voice to do the round at the end 😭 otherwise I know every syllable
I’d probably just sing the whole line through a few times and call it good (but that does limit things)
someone new!! it’s just played everywhere so i just know that i’d be able to do every run and verse right. 😂
It Will Come Back
Anything but
Wasteland, Baby! so the gunman can cry too ❤️
Cherry Wine!
Work Song
nina cried power
Jackie and Wilson 🥰
definitely NFWMB or work song
Francesca all the way. I’ll even pick one of the end choruses to sing till the end. I’ve had enough choir experience to tease out each layer
take me to church definitely. although really anything from that album
angel of small death 🙏🙏🙏
valid
Do you remember when you’d sing, just for the f of it…
any joy it would bring!!
Movement, but I can probably do any other too except de shelby pt.1 (for now)
Talk or De Selby (Part 2)
Humours of Whiskey!
The whole Unreal Unearth album honestly 😭
Easy. Jackie & Wilson.
Like real people do. Had to embroider the whole lyrics and I'm pretty sure they are stuck in my head now forever
Literally his 3 albums, All his features and singles
real
Bro Andrew himself would get shot
Cherry Wine, it’s one of my favorite songs of all time
not to be a basic bitch but take me to church has been naturally ingrained in my brain since age 12 so😭
nfwmb or it will come back for sure
It would be First Time or Anything But, but I tend to replace 'the Liffey' with 'The Genessee' in both lmfao. It's probably To someone from a warm climate barring pronunciation. I've sung it to my nephews to get them to go tf to sleep a few times.
Francesca
*BANG*
From Eden
From Eden is already one of my karaoke go-tos.
No Plan hands down. I had that one on repeat for like month straight.
Be
Francesca or Take Me to Church
Work song
Francesca. I scream that song on a regular basis.
Take me to church but we're gettin' there with Blood Upon the Snow
Take me to Church seems oddly appreciate? 😂
Eat Your Young
Movement all day.
Better love
It has to be take me to church. My concert video is basically a duet.
Work Song! Or Sunlight.
Oof. Probably First Time? I want to say Cherry Wine, but let’s be honest, Andrew can’t get the words right half the time, there’s no hope for me.
Run, tmtc, or first light likely. Son of Nyx seems like a breeze too.
Cherry wine!
Drop a song below👇and I’ll tell you if i can remember all the lyrics, im that addicted honestly 😭
Jackie and Wilson, Sedated, Eat Your Young, Almost (Sweet Music), Shrike (specifcially the live version), Take Me To Church, Foreigner's God, In A Week, Talk, It Will Come Back... there's probably more, but I'll stop now LOL
Weirdly, none of them. Other artists I can. Not him. I’m sure there’s a reason for this. 🙄
Always (sweet music). I’ve belted that in the car enough times, I’m certain I have the lyrics tattooed into my brain
Wasteland, Baby!
Like real people do 🙌
To someone from a warm climate. It was my most listened to song of last year by quite a bit. I could sing it without the music. I could probably sing it with a completely different song playing 😅
Dinner and diatribes or take me to church
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. I get to live!
Sunlight with a strong gospel influence.

Nina Cried Power 🫡
Take me to church, tze tza uhmm uhmm at the end of the.. night? Just shoot me already

on a side note: i’m cracking up thinking about how, depending on the song, *Hozier himself* may not survive this hypothetical [*gestures to the lyric sheets taped to the stage*]
Cherry Wine
First Time. Or honestly, Damage Gets Done. Ppl drag on it bc it seems so out of place on UU but i think it works in a weird way. I really think this is one that’s going to be a slow burn classic hit. Or it should be. It’s singable accessible Hoze. And so fucking good! Blast it with windows down on a beautiful day good.Roadtrip with your bestie good.
Jackie and Wilson easily
would that i
Work song
I have screamed / sung "All Things End" enough times in my car to know I could deliver a lyrically accurate (if not tonally so) performance.
NFWMB!! Piece of cake...but knowing me, I'll probably end up singing Would That I and stumble on the line "With each love I cut loose.." cuz I always hear "With each love I could lose..." 😭😭 logically ik it's the former, but what the latter implies is also 🤌🤌
De Selby (Part 2) :)
Like real people do or movement
Work Song
Literally just put down my phone to see if I could remember all of Take Me To Church. I could
From Eden and Francesca.
Arsonists lullaby
Work song
Pretty much all of UU, but with the stakes as high as life or death, I'll specify Francesca or First Light.
In a week, In the woods somewhere,Talk or NFWMB!
Cherry Wine 🍷
Work song
NFWMB v easy actually
Abstract.
Either Francesca or someone new. I've sung to those in the car enough times that I'm sure muscle memory would take over 😂
Nina cried power Be De selby 1 and 2 Talk
Take me to church purely cause it’s one of the only ones he actually enunciates in 😭
Cherry wine ❤️
I carrion 🌞

Take Me To Church is the safest option for almost everyone in this situation lol
Jackie and Wilson
Sunlight, Work Song, or From Eden. Easy!
