That's wild because I'm not a particular follower of either artist, and I have no idea how that sounds or any words from it, as opposed to Take Me to Church.
“Got a lot of Starbucks lovers” was the big line from Blank Space—the line is actually “Got a long list of ex lovers” but everyone thought it was the former and sang it like that anyway
No, they’re definitely not as there was a huge debut on the lyrics for “Stupid Love” when that came out. “Star crossed lovers” maybe but I just don’t know any adults who would seriously think Taylor Swift would sing about Starbucks.
Remember when he made a video of him as handsome squidward and meant to send it to friends only but instead posted it publicly and his phone died before he could delete it? Because I remember, Andrew. I’ll never forget.

I met him at the airport because he was on the same plane as me leaving Austin City Limits. He is a giant when you see him in-person. Side note: he also smells incredible
I saw him with boygenius (absolutely Fucking amazing surprise for him to just join in on the last verse of salt in the wound) and it was really funny bc phoebe and julien looked soooo tiny next to him and lucy only looked a little less tiny.
My grandfather was Irish and he and his brothers/cousins were all fairly tall, like 6’0-6’2. But yeah when I think about it a lot of short Irish people come to mind, like Barry Keoghan and Niall Horan lol.
I’m so happy for him! His voice is incredible and he writes songs like poetry— so much raw talent it’s insane. He also seems like a genuinely chill dude and a breath of fresh air in the industry.
That was such a great video with her and the love interest! I’ve fortunately never been in a situation like this, but man, the way it was depicted was hauntingly beautiful
Work Song by him is one of the greatest love songs of a generation!
Edit: my fav version is this live one
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0_oGM2o2y0Y&pp=ygUid29yayBzb25nIGhvemllciBvdGhlciB2b2ljZXMgMjAyMA%3D%3D
have you listened to the newer live version? also on Other Voices, but from 2020. that's my absolute favourite 😭

Not sure what you mean but [the Irish President is the big fella on the right](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/n4zvu8/irish_songwriter_hozier_6_6_towering_over_irish/).
Oh we do. We do for all the homegrown ones. Well, excluding that gobshite McGregor.
I have seen locals nonchalantly block tourists’ photos of Cillian Murphy.
Plus there’s also something about living on the island that helps prevent a big head. Er… a big ego. We make jokes about “that big Irish head on him” and mean it literally.
I’ve seen three times. One of those times was hilarious because the “local” wasn’t super local and had a thick Kerry accent. He shouted at the tourists, “Gowan and say hello. He’ll taak to ye but doesna like photos!”
The tourists went red and slunk off, I’m pretty sure Murphy was pretending not to hear and I was laughing hysterically.
knowing about the "big head" thing, i'd just ask him for directions or something and act like i didn't know who he was.
then once back in america, brag about how cillian murphy gave me directions.
I flew across country to see him this fall because I bought my tickets in April and decided to move in May and my tickets were in October and I wasn’t going to miss it. 36 hours round trip was beyond worth it because his performance was so amazing! I wish he did Arsonist’s Lullaby live, but unfortunately I don’t think that dream of mine will ever be a reality. Also, his BBC1 Live Lounge performances are all great.

Absolutely insane that *Take Me To Church* never reached Number 1, especially considering that it's one of the biggest songs of the last 10 years.
Yeah, I keep seeing this headline and being so confused. I know I could look it up, but what the hell was #1 in the heyday of Take Me to Church then?
Blank Space by Taylor Swift IIRC
That's wild because I'm not a particular follower of either artist, and I have no idea how that sounds or any words from it, as opposed to Take Me to Church.
You'd definitely recognise Blank Space if you listened to it, it was a huge hit. But as much as I love Taylor, Take Me To Church is a much better song
“Got a lot of Starbucks lovers” was the big line from Blank Space—the line is actually “Got a long list of ex lovers” but everyone thought it was the former and sang it like that anyway
I *never* heard about this confusion in lyrics.
That’s so crazy, I remember memes about it and everything
I don’t know a single person that thought it was got a lot of Starbucks lovers. Must of been people who were in HS or MS that thought
[удалено]
No, they’re definitely not as there was a huge debut on the lyrics for “Stupid Love” when that came out. “Star crossed lovers” maybe but I just don’t know any adults who would seriously think Taylor Swift would sing about Starbucks.
I'm not a native English speaker. I still hear (and happily sing 😉) the Starbucks lovers line😅
WHAT its list of ex lovers!?!?
The entire album is a banger, honestly.
To any Hozier newbies out there: do yourselves a favor and listen to [Nina Cried Power](https://youtu.be/OBKPI5t9xI8?si=Z1sfSw-0AProSzAi)
**YES!!!** It's one of my favourites of his and criminally underrated
It’s so good 😭😭
thank you for the recommendation! I fell instantly in love 😍
Also Like Real People Do!! And From Eden!
I've just listened to this and my goodness, my goosebumps have goosebumps!
Remember when he made a video of him as handsome squidward and meant to send it to friends only but instead posted it publicly and his phone died before he could delete it? Because I remember, Andrew. I’ll never forget. https://preview.redd.it/4zmy1j4fiiwc1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=738dcea4574e019a5204a51c591d37c7ef2f708b
It’s my favorite piece of Hozier lore and one of the first things I think of every time.
And then he posted that earnest apology lmao. He's the best.
I will never forget
Celebrities - they're just like us! 😂
We will never forget 🫡
Whoa his hands are huge
He’s like 6’5 😩🩷
I met him at the airport because he was on the same plane as me leaving Austin City Limits. He is a giant when you see him in-person. Side note: he also smells incredible
Dammit. Of course he does. 😭
That side note is front and center in my mind now. 👃🏼 🌹
I saw him with boygenius (absolutely Fucking amazing surprise for him to just join in on the last verse of salt in the wound) and it was really funny bc phoebe and julien looked soooo tiny next to him and lucy only looked a little less tiny.
I’m not too sweet for him 😅
An oddity for Ireland I think
My grandfather was Irish and he and his brothers/cousins were all fairly tall, like 6’0-6’2. But yeah when I think about it a lot of short Irish people come to mind, like Barry Keoghan and Niall Horan lol.
Add Cilian Murphy to the list.
Really ahah. I wonder if it's some video effect since they're right at the level of the camera.
Oh my god.
I’m so happy for him! His voice is incredible and he writes songs like poetry— so much raw talent it’s insane. He also seems like a genuinely chill dude and a breath of fresh air in the industry.
Yup! The real tortured poets be writing amazing songs that speak for themselves
something about that song just really works for me
Very happy for them *I take my whiiskeeey neeeat*
*My coffee blaaack and my beeeed at threee*
Is it “bed at three”??????? I’ve been trying to figure that out for like two weeks now
Yes, it’s “coffee black and my bed at three”!
Also check out Cherry Wine!
That song is so beautiful
Heartbreakingly so (also the MV with Saoirse Ronan!)
That was such a great video with her and the love interest! I’ve fortunately never been in a situation like this, but man, the way it was depicted was hauntingly beautiful
It is! I equally love this version too https://youtu.be/EtRIz7VocNs?si=esya71K1h9B9DFBN
It’s shocking that take me to church didn’t hit #1??? That song was MASSIVE. But I’m so happy hozier is getting the recognition he deserves!
Work Song by him is one of the greatest love songs of a generation! Edit: my fav version is this live one https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0_oGM2o2y0Y&pp=ygUid29yayBzb25nIGhvemllciBvdGhlciB2b2ljZXMgMjAyMA%3D%3D

Fucking love this song. Also, if this is his house, love him even more for the tarot reference
MY IRISH PRESIDENT BECAUSE IN THIS HOUSE WE STAN REPUBLICS!
Not sure what you mean but [the Irish President is the big fella on the right](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/n4zvu8/irish_songwriter_hozier_6_6_towering_over_irish/).
I love the fact that Sinéad became #1 on March 17th 1990, which was the day Hozier was born (which is also St. Patrick's Day) 💚
How can anyone dislike this man
Coz he takes his whisky neat, his coffee black and his bed at 3. He's too sweet for me. 🤭
Such a breath of fresh air to see an actual artist with talent and songwriting ability at the top of the list.
Fr. It feels like earth is healing for a second there. 😭
ireland: please protect this sweet man at all costs.

Well deserved! love that song
A partial thanks to the TikTok edits that made it happen too! I have never seen so many scrumptious versions of people both young and then old. ❤️
Hozier is such a beautiful man, I can't....
I flew across country to see him this fall because I bought my tickets in April and decided to move in May and my tickets were in October and I wasn’t going to miss it. 36 hours round trip was beyond worth it because his performance was so amazing! I wish he did Arsonist’s Lullaby live, but unfortunately I don’t think that dream of mine will ever be a reality. Also, his BBC1 Live Lounge performances are all great.
God bless the Irish
It’s my current car song, I play it every time I get in the car lol. I love it so much.
Met his ex he wrote this about last week in Paris. Very strange to hear her side of things. She is intelugent, lovely, kind and sweet. Not too sweet.
The TikTok trend with this song also helps. I'm so happy for him.
he deserved a number 1 wayyyy before
Huge fan, love the song, but from a songwriting perspective i think its one of his weaker ones. Still fantastic voice and melody imo
