The bass line in this is unreal

This album so unapologetically yet poetically sexual. Absolutely gorgeous and provoking sounds.

The hedonism of unapologetic simple joys? Underscored with the acceptance of the end? Captured perfectly in a song that stills the mind and steals it's attention? That's right Hozier did *that*

"My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand" is the best fucking line of this song.

Has to be the first song to ever use the word "fuckery" Best song on the album for me.

hozier: says fuckery me: erupts into flames

Him saying “there’s no kingdom to come” is sooooo bold , I want that kind of energy so thanks mr nymph

I know that Hozier knows what his words "screaming, heaving, fuckery of this world" sung in a way like THAT does to us.

This basically explains the Optimistic Nihilism and I fucking love it

"As Mack explained, there will be darkness again"... Katie Mack is a theoretical cosmologist who wrote "The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking)". That's an allusion to her book ; she did an allusion as well to this song in the final chapter of her book! That's how I heard of this song. I couldn't understand why she quoted Hozier, now I do!

This man’s voice and lyrics are my sexuality

This is up there as one of his greatest songs. Glorious.

Ah the loving nihilistic poet..the epitome of ''Carpe diem" It's like he's saying"even though there's nothing your love makes it bareable"

Imagine Dragons: "This is my kingdom come" Hozier: "There's no Kingdom come"

Profoundly filthy!! That's Hozier for you. That guitar tho. HOT DAMN!!

What kind of fuckery is is at play, when a man can write songs that on the first listen feels like a familiar face. And on second listen feels like an old and cherished friend. All the planets aligned the day your were born Mr Byrne .

Don't you feel like each song grows deeper on you, one after another??? I'm dying of joy

“I’ll be your man, if you’ve got love to get done” Yes sir, where is the sign up for that??

this song is like putting on a warm jacket on a windy afternoon

i'm a lesbian and in a relationship but the way he sings "baby" makes me SHIVER

Nasty NASTY guitar... Beautiful beautiful voice and words... I'm here for it. 😩

An anthem to entropy. Embrace it, sisters and brothers. It's getting late.

Omg I don't think I can handle this much excitement all at once. Brb setting myself on fire.

So like...is Hozier unable to make a bad song?

The closest definition of "meaning of life" in one song. Pure gold.

he's being edged, lads

Woodsy Jesus is back with another banger. [Lyrics]: For starts What a waste to say the heart could feel apart Or feel complete, baby Why would you make out of words A cage for your own bird? When it sings so sweet The screaming, heaving, fuckery of the world? Why would you offer her name To the same old tired pain? When all things come from nothin' And honey, if nothin's gained? My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand It's how I know now that you understand There's no plan There's no race to be run The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun There's no plan There's no kingdom to come I'll be your man if you got love to get done Sit here and watch the sunlight fade Honey, enjoy, it's gettin' late There's no plan There's no hand on the rein As Mack explained, there will be darkness again Let it hurt, let the awful song be heard Blue bird, I know you beat, baby But your secret is safe with me 'cause if secrets were like saints Keep my body from the fire, hire a gardener for my grave Your secret is safe with me, and if secrets were like seeds When I'm laying on the marble, marvel at flowers you have made My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand It's how I know now that you understand There's no plan There's no race to be run The harder the pain, honey, the sweeter the song There's no plan There's no kingdom to come I'll be your man if you got love to get done Sit here and watch the sunlight fade Honey, enjoy, it's gettin' late There's no plan There's no hand on the rein As Mack explained, there will be darkness again My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand It's how I know now that you understand How big the hourglass, how deep the sand I shouldn't have hoped to know, but here I stand There's no plan There's no race to be run The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun There's no plan There's no kingdom to come I'll be your man if you got love to get done Sit here and watch the sunlight fade Honey, enjoy, it's gettin' late There's no plan There's no hand on the rein As Mack explained, there will be darkness again Edit: how did this cross 1k likes, I think it's coz woodsy Jesus blessed me himself

I love how he developed as an artist and yet still remains iconic and meaningful as the first album. Wig. Just wig.

I feel like I’m floating. This song just takes you higher. Thank you, Hozier.

nothing more romantic than the threat of complete unbecoming and someone beside you who understands. this is the most comforting of all hozier's song tbh

Hozier should make a whole song that is just him saying "fuckery" in different ways, preferably low notes, it would make porn obsolete, thank you for coming to my ted talk

This is underrated af .

WE NEED A VIDEO FOREST JESUS

Hozier saying "fuckery" makes me feel some things

When u realise the album cover is a painting by his mom

[Verse 1] For starts What a waste to say the heart could feel apart Or feel complete, baby Why would you make out of words a cage for your own bird? When it sings so sweet The screaming, heaving fuckery of the world? Why would you offer a name to the same old tired pain? When all things come from nothing and, honey, if nothing's gained? [Pre-Chorus] My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand It's how I know now that you understand [Chorus] There's no plan, there's no race to be run The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun There's no plan, there's no kingdom to come I'll be your man if you got love to get done Sit in and watch the sunlight fade Honey, enjoy, it's gettin' late There's no plan, there's no hand on the rein As Mack explained, there will be darkness again [Verse 2] Let it hurl, let the awful song be heard Blue bird, I know your beat, baby But your secret is safe with me 'cause if secrets were like seeds Keep my body from the fire, hire a gardener for my grave Your secret is safe with me, and if secrets were like seeds When I'm lying under marble, marvel at flowers you'll have made [Pre-Chorus] My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand That's how I know now that you understand [Chorus] There's no plan, there's no race to be run The harder the pain, honey, the sweeter the song There's no plan, there's no kingdom to come But I'll be your man if you got love to get done Sit in and watch the sunlight fade Honey, enjoy, it's gettin' late There's no plan, there's no hand on the rein As Mack explained, there will be darkness again [Pre-Chorus] My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand It's how I know now that you understand How big the hourglass, how deep the sand I shouldn't hope to know, but here I stand [Chorus] And there's no plan, there's no race to be run The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun There's no plan, there's no kingdom to come But I'll be your man if you got love to get done Sit in and watch the sunlight fade Honey, enjoy, it's gettin' late There's no plan, there's no hand on the rein As Mack explained, there will be darkness again

At the peak of my unexplainable fear of life, when I heard him singing "as mack explained, there will be darkness again" I burst laughing and then crying - nothing really makes sense but I hate that it hurts so much - it is a relief, a consolation that eventually there will be darkness again. this song feels like a warm hug

Nihilistic seduction at its best

Thanks to Antiques Roadshow I now know that "a bird in a cage" was an old-timey way of discussing a woman's purity/virginity. So the line "Why would you make a cage out of words for your own bird" is likely a reference to that. Also, the metaphors in this song are NEXT LEVEL, bro please, be still my literary heart. A public television + Hozier collab could burn down my world, bring it on.

This song is just so deliciously beautiful... the way the guitar sounds... damn.

For a forest nymph who sings to us of gods, this is such an atheist turn and I am here for it. "There's no kingdom to come."

Hozier’s giving me a heart attack with the constant updates. Keep em coming, bog man, congratulations on your new album 💕💕

Okay, i don't need to smoke up, this song has got me high.

Bloody amazing song. That guitar goes right to places good filthy guitar sounds should go to. Christ.

Anyone gasp at 0:12 when the other instruments come in?

The harder the pain, honey The sweeter the song ✨💓👌

You are the most intelligent and sensitive artist I have found till date🌹

This is definitely my favourite song from his Wasteland Baby album.

is this legal

i completely fell in love with this song, woah

My husband likes this song a lot hes a big blues fan loves The black keys and The queens of the Stone Age and he says this reminds him of early black keys songs I personally love this new sound that Hozier has ❤️

this dudes music makes me feel some type of way

I would impale myself on every briar, thorn, and bramble in the world if Hozier so much as suggested it full stop

my body is unable to contain the emotions and the energy hozier's music gives me

I'm sorry but there's no way 2019 could go bad for we've been blessed with such beautiful art right at the start of this year.

I feel like I just cheated on my husband by listening to this song.

MY FAVORITE!!!---"I'll be your man if you've got love to be done"---SO SWEET!!!!!

I should not have drunk half a bottle of wine before I listened to this. I'm away to weep for a minute.

Straight-up baby making music!

Anyone else wish he would call you " My baby"? Then the whole album would be for me...

"As Mac explained, there will be darkness again" this song predicted 2020. Hozier, his mind

Such powerful energy holy shit

This had me so shook. When that buzzy guitar hit my heart did some fucking acrobatics. I love this so much

I can't even choose which song from this album is my favorite. I just replay the album all the time. I have been replaying this since March 3 and I see no plans in stopping.

So much great music in one day, I'll die of bliss

With that sick beat it should have been named 'The baby maker'.

Me: oh this is gonna be a sweet song *0:13** hits* Me: :0000000!!!!!! A bop indeed!

Congratulations for the album Hozier ♥

This is an Anthem for love

I just discovered this album, I didn't know I needed it in my life. NEW CRUSH/OBSESSION: unlocked.

Hozier, your voice here is mesmerizing and ethereal - aaah no plan to ever stop listening to you!

That guitar, my goodness.

Not only does it sound amazing, it also contains an amazing message. Poetic and beautiful. Appreciate life everyone. Statistically, the odds that you exist is a rounding error. Enjoy it for the brief moment that it is. Darkness awaits Edit: Seeing that the 'Most Replayed' part is the start of the song shows that people really love this song for its entirety

Amazing how a song that says, "there will be darkness again," can leave me feeling so at peace

I'm here because I love Hozier and I understand the Katie Mack reference.

I just want to say, being a huge Horrorcore Rap, underground hip hop and classic Rock fan, Hozier is awesome, been a fan since his first album, I've waited so long to hear his new album, I've bought both physical releases since I happened upon his music, and I don't know what it is about his music that caught my attention, but it's feel good music to me. I will continue to support this man. He makes the purists music. And the voice is absolutely captivating. He actually inspires me to add some singing depth to my own rap style.

This song is dedicated to me by someone I have already sensed I will soon love, and this precise prediction... an awareness of a feeling in the future is what this song is to me. There's no plan, there's no race to be run; there will be darkness again. Whether or not these feelings develop into something more and manifest into a love, I already know how it will feel, and no god, no destiny can take that away. I have arrived at my destination.

eternal loop. Officially a shell of myself. congrats

I had never been this much satisfied by the lenght of a song.

I love how this is so effortless.

This is a hot song lmao

Such a great artiste. Your music inspired and helped me get through tough times in high school a couple years ago. And listening to you now bring back memories of the people I had so much fun with. The people I love. Thank you for being a wonderful musician.

I feel welcomed to stan Hozier after listening to this song

this song fucks so hard i will never forget how i felt when the bass first kicked in the first time I heard it my jaw DROPPED this is why hozier is my fucking king

The harder the pain, honey, the sweeter the sun✨

there's this strange sexy vibe in the melody but the lyrics are just another thing. I LOVE IT. And no, Hozier make a deal wth the devil or even God so he's unable to make a bad song.

COLLAB WITH FLORENCE, yes I'm everywhere, DO IT, JUST DO IT

I’m liking this soft rock vibe🤘🏽

This is theme music for all sorts of awakening

Hozier makes the kind of music that makes you feel happy to be alive. Something about his sound just makes my whole day better ❤

His voice drives the brain and the mind as five instruments together, while the background musical basis does never change the beat. Beyond music...

had an existential crisis but kept vibing

I’ve listened to this song at least 10 times in a row it’s such a BOP

This will still be a hit 500 years from now. Timeless masterpiece. Eternal Truth.

My favourite song on the album! Just pure magic!

"No Plan" For starts What a waste to say the heart could feel apart Or feel complete, baby Why would you make out of words A cage for your own bird? When it sings so sweet The screaming, heaving, fuckery of the world? Why would you offer her name To the same old tired pain? When all things come from nothin' And honey, if nothin's gained? My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand It's how I know now that you understand There's no plan There's no race to be run The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun There's no plan There's no kingdom to come I'll be your man if you got love to get done Sit here and watch the sunlight fade Honey, enjoy, it's gettin' late There's no plan There's no hand on the rain As Mac explained, there will be darkness again Let it hurt, let the awful song be heard Blue bird, I know you beat, baby But your secret is safe with me 'cause if secrets were like saints Keep my body from the fire, higher, guard them from my grave Your secret is safe with me, and if secrets were like seeds When I'm laying on the marble, marble of flowers you have made My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand It's how I know now that you understand There's no plan There's no race to be run The harder the pain, honey, the sweeter the song There's no plan There's no kingdom to come I'll be your man if you got love to get done Sit here and watch the sunlight fade Honey, enjoy, it's gettin' late There's no plan There's no hand on the rain As Mac explained, there will be darkness again My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand It's how I know now that you understand How big the hourglass, how deep the sand I shouldn't have hoped to know, but here I stand There's no plan There's no race to be run The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun There's no plan There's no kingdom to come I'll be your man if you got love to get done Sit here and watch the sunlight fade Honey, enjoy, it's gettin' late There's no plan There's no hand on the rain As Mac explained, there will be darkness again

Okaaaaay definitely my favorite lyrics from the album by now

The snap followwd by the low, awesom bass holy shit.

This was the first song on the album aside from the previously released ones and I fell in love with the album based off just this song. The rest of them are a treat too

Hozier the best of our time! By a mile!
