Lyrics:
Do you think I’d give up
That this might’ve shook the love from me
Or that I was on the brink
How could you think darling I’d scare so easily?
Now that it’s done
There’s not one thing that I would change
My life was a storm
Since I was born
How could I fear any hurricane?
If someone asked me at the end
I’d tell them put me back in it
Darling, I would do it again
If I could hold you for a minute
Darling, I’d go through it again
I would still be surprised I could find you, darling
In any life
If I could hold you for a minute
Darling, I would do it again
For all that was said
Of where we’d end up at the end of it
When the heart would cease
Ours never knew peace
What good would it be on the far side of things?
It was too soon
When that part of you was ripped away
A grip taking hold
Like a cancer that grows
Each piece of your body that it takes
Though I know my heart would break
I’d tell them put me back in it
Darling, I would do it again
If I could hold you for a minute
Darling, I’d go through it again
I would still be surprised I could find you darling
In any life
If I could hold you for a minute
Darling, I would do it again
I would not change it each time,
Heaven is not fit to house a love
Like you and I
I would not change it each time,
Heaven is not fit to house a love
Like you and I
I would not change it each time,
Heaven is not fit to house a love
Like you and I

I didn't think I'd have a favourite lyric other than "no grave can hold my body down, I'd crawl home to her." But "heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I" has altered my brain chemistry. Listening to this song isn't enough. I want it injected in my veins

What I love about this song's incredible artistry is that Hoizer based it on a real-life tragic love affair. Francesca da Rimini (d. 1283-1286), was married to Giovanni Malatesta ("The Lame"), but had a decade-long relationship with his younger brother, Paolo. Giovanni found out and killed them both. Dante knew of the lovers from Francesca's nephew and put them in his "Inferno." Thus, Hozier's song is probably from the perspective of Paolo, who extols his undying love for her, consequences be damned.
@jasminesofela5724 10 місяців тому
i love you for this
@rebekahvaught2747 10 місяців тому
Thanks. You should check out Honor Luca's analysis of "Francesca." She explains the historical love affair, Dante's opinion in "Inferno," and how she believes Hozier challenges the poet's interpretation of Francesca and her 'sinful' love for Paolo.

@@rebekahvaught2747 oh I'm definitely going to go down that rabbit hole today haha! I'm consistently in awe of how Andrew takes these creative stances on classic/traditional narratives. with this song the instinct is to think "oh he clearly had an intense love for someone called Francesca at some point', but it's always something much more than that, and i admire that greatly about him; truly an artist in every sense of the word, almost makes me a bit jealous sometimes LMAO
@rebekahvaught2747 10 місяців тому
It's impressive (and sexy 😉) how well-read he is. Listening to him talk about his interests and creative progress, you get the sense that he's one of the most intelligent people you could hope to meet. He doesn't mind being intense but does it in a non-toxic way. Does that make sense? Lol, I feel like you could debate him, and he would defend his position without being patronizing.

My God. So much to say, but I feel like we're seeing a full lean into Hozier's own personal style. The storm raging outside pays homage to the song. The scene inside is dirty, gritty, animalistic, raw, cathartic, and builds into a perfect storm of voices for Dante's lovers to swirl around forever in. Absolutely gorgeous video.

Lost my mum to cancer when I was 18. "Like a cancer grows, each piece of your body it takes." Sunk my stomach. And, "If I could hold you for a minute, I'd do it again." Makes me cry. I'm 20 now. 2 years without a mother's love and it's really difficult. I can't imagine with your brother. Siblings feel like another part of you so having that ripped away, I can't imagine. I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish you so much happiness. It's kinda lovely to see all the family members of cancer victims getting comfort and bonding from this song. Fck cancer.

today like 3 hours ago I saw Hozier play Alexandra Palace in London, not only him but the entire band in this video accompanied him on stage in this tour. I have never heard someone sound so flawless play live it was the best concert I have EVER been to. It was dark, electric, sexy, stunning in every sense and it was incredible seeing this man live for the first time after years of listening to him daily.

I've said it before and I will say it again: Andrew is truly the T.S Elliot, the William Butler Yeats of our generation. I have been listening to Hozier since I was a freshman in high school and I just graduated college a week ago! I just got dumped after 2 years together and I have no clue what I am going to do with my life. But this music helps me ride the waves as they come. From the bottom of my heart, I owe this man a lot and I am so grateful for his existence.

Aside from the obvious historical and literary references, I just realized that the song can also apply to queer couples. With how same-sex relationships are considered as a "sin" in most religions, the lines can be related to a queer couple forcefully separated (and/or killed) by society's heteronormative views. "Though I know my heart would break, I'd tell them put me back in it", "I'd go through it again" and "I would not change it each time" - their love for each other is so deep and strong that they'd go through it all over again, bear the pain of homophobia/transphobia, just to be with their lover And of course, the most beautiful line - "Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I" - can be referenced to how queer couples are constantly cursed to "go to hell" for their "sin", so the couple retaliates by: 1. Accepting hell as more fitting for their love, which is an ironical mockery of Heaven as lesser than the grand splendor it is made out to be by religious fanatics, therefore showing the falsehoods of religious extremists Or 2. Their love is not "sin" at all and is so blessed and passionate that Heaven itself says It is not worthy to house such a love, i.e., their love lies somewhere even beyond the Heavens Either way, I'm just starting to appreciate the layers of depth in Hozier's works

Stunning literary themes aside - When I listen to this song, I always think of all the amazing partners, family members, chosen family or best friends who are helping a loved one going through horrendous mental health breakdowns, hard times and/or shame and are instrumental to their recovery. I feel like this is an homage to them ❤
@Ash-qf1wx 10 місяців тому
I love that this music video is so different from Hozier's other videos that feature somewhat of a storyline and other visual aspects to complement the song. The live performance of this song is powerful and visceral enough that it needs nothing but Hozier and his band to drive home the emotional aspects straight to the viewer's heart. Truly can't wait for the new album.

I had a loved one pass on Saturday, and singing along to this song, for the past few days, has been surprisingly cathartic. Between good music, good comfort food, and good friends, I'm doing better than I had initially thought I would be. Sometimes peace comes naturally, sometimes we have to create it for ourselves, and right now I'm dealing with the latter, so I'm grateful to have this song to sing along with- despite the fact that I butcher it bad enough to be considered parody.

My best friend died of cancer on November 30. This is the last song I sang to him. I keep thinking there was more I could do to change the outcome. More I could do to help. But the one thing I am sure of is that even knowing how painful this loss is and all the hard times we would have, 'I would do it again.' That part of the song always hits me right in that part of my spirit that knows that there aren't any regrets for the love I gave and the hardships we had.
