Hozier: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Переглядів 13,323,005
День томуAndrew Hozier-Byrne's voice is so rich, so vital and so soulful, I'm certain I'll follow his music for a long time to come. The 24-year-old Irishman, who performs under the name Hozier, opens this set with the brilliant and instantly grabby song "Take Me to Church," about passion, sex and religion.
Hozier's music is based in the blues, and you'll hear the singer-guitarist's love for Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker during the second song he performs here. His band - piano, guitar, percussion - steps aside for the swampy "To Be Alone," in which the blues provide a starting place for his high, yearning vocals and deep questioning. Hozier has just two EPs out, and both have me yearning to hear more. --BOB BOILEN
Set List
"Take Me To Church"
"To Be Alone"
"Cherry Wine"

ok but can we talk abt how good he is at taking rlly dark shit and making it sound gorgeous and romantic, like cherry wine does that lyrically and stylistically. he’s singing as someone who is in an abusive relationship but still sees it as a romantic and soft love, and this song is rlly dark but the actual delivery of it is so gentle and romantic (and it’s called ‘cherry wine’ for gods sake, it has such a Soft title)

were you new to npr's tiny desk concerts? ...i've listened to countless ones and almost got used to their amazing sound ;) these guys work is absolutely priceless!
@TheMetallerik 6 років тому
@seppstarthebest they are one of the best on this tiny planet. It is hard to listen to the originals from artists hosted at tiny desk concerts. :)
@esp1344 6 років тому
It's so weird to hear take me to church without the enormous plate reverb but the plunky piano and the quiet chorus of oohs in the background almost has the same effect. The artists that do tiny desks have so many different ways of translating their sound to the stripped down setup and we can always rely on the tech staff to make sure we can tell exactly what they're trying to do, that's what makes tiny desk solid gold.

The way he uses the sustained “pedal tone” in To Be Alone and Cherry Wine drives my very soul. Something about the repetition gives the songs their own heartbeats and dissonant character. Never fails to get me a bit emotional. Such goosebumps

@oliverheartt 8 років тому
theKS totally, i imagine that the audience had their phones away, not interested in videoing it for instagram or fb likes. Just appreciating the performance.
@thatzizname5150 7 років тому
Props to him. The main riff on To Be Alone is pretty difficult to play while singing at the same time.

To Be Alone is a masterpiece. How does he carry his own bass line on the E AND play the A - e strings like that? Wow.

The coolest thing with Hozier is that he wrote the whole album all by himself. Except 'Someone New' wish he wrote with one other person.
@millipedetheband9551 6 років тому

@alfredannable7927 6 років тому
many artists that get high up in the charts don't write their own songs, so it is quite cool to be fair
@aaliyahserafina9366 6 років тому
Indeed, real cool
@Brandon75689 6 років тому
Because that album made him get to the charts. now I doubt his new songs will be written by him.
@billiey36 6 років тому
Why wouldn't he keep writing his own music? That's what he's spent the last couple of years doing actually.

Hozier bridges the gap that many people see between music and other Art. The songs that this man creates are just as beautiful, timeless, and significant as Cathedrals built in the middle ages, as paintings done by the old masters, and by poems written long ago. His music is Artistic in a way that a lot of musicians today fail to capture
@leadedbison1997 Рік тому

Why is it always about SINGING with females . The singer is always the most musically ignorant one in a band . Mozart , Bach , Paganini , Miles Davis , John Coltrane , ect. ect. didn't sing ! Try mastering a musical instrument ! The dumbing down of music ! If any of these musical genius's of the past were alive in today's dumbed down world they would never win a Grammy for record of the year !
@mslindsvlog 9 років тому
wow, I just said he was a good singer. Haha, relax!
@guitaroable 9 років тому
mslindsvlog He also plays a f'n MUSICAL INSTRUMENT and you didn't think that was important enough to comment on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@guitaroable 9 років тому
mslindsvlog Music ISN'T all about SINGING ! Bach , Mozart or Miles Davis would have never made it on " The Voice " or "American Idol" . The dumbing down of music ! People are to lazy or stupid to try and master a musical instrument anymore but everyone want's to be on stage . Go buy a musical instrument and learn to play it well ! Sorry if that was to negative for you princess .
@mslindsvlog 9 років тому
It's over, what does any of this even matter for? When you're dead, rotting in the ground, you're not going to think about how music is dumbing down the people of today's society. I think you're taking this out of proportion. Can I not make a comment saying, in my opinion, that he is a great singer without getting some guy like you bashing on me and throwing a temper tantrum over it? I feel sorry that you spend your day attacking people over the internet for harmlessly making a comment that had no intentions of starting any sort of shit. Take your aggression and pent up anger onto something more productive than starting a fully fledged argument on UKposts. Stop prodding me over a comment I posted days ago, it's completely irreverent.

reading the other comments, I wonder about why people are so negative. This is an attractive man with an amazing amount of talent. personally i like the long hair, and I am very fond of the Irish accent. On top of all that, he is an amazing poet. So let's celebrate that. Why do people have to be so negative about admiration shown to others? For gosh sake can't we just celebrate the human condition? And admire the heck out of extraordinary talent as this man has?
@Yosef9438 6 років тому
People insist on putting down others when they are unhappy with their own achievements, or worse, look at someone and see an "other," someone or something they don't understand and fear.
@acestorms5256 5 років тому
putting people on pedestals isn't for everyone. The more people are content with their life, the easier it is for them to acknowledge and accept someones talent. But why does everyone always have to like the same thing as everyone else? Why can't you accept that there's different people from different walks of life.Digustibus non est disputandum.I like his music and appreciate his public appearances, not that it matters.

I saw Hozier live in Paris a couple of years ago and it was one of the absolute best concert of my life. There's something so thick, tangible about his music. You can actually feel it around you, through you. Beautiful.
