Hope Lee Hear hear

@Cassie K that's true, although it's not just American shows that push that overly comical look. I completely agree and I hope this does inspire more producers. Obviously shows like this operate on money and sitting down to have a calm conversation isn't entertaining for everyone, but it'll be good to have a few exceptions like this.

Not everybody. Why is Pia Tjelta in an interview in which she has no opportunity to say a single word?

@@silviac221 The other guests talked prior to Hozier coming on. The show is longer than just the few minutes that this video lasts. I've watched tons of interviews from Skavlan. It is a breathe of fresh air to listen to an interview where the host isn't constantly interrupting like most US interview shows.

@@rogerhickson7256 Good to know, I've never seen this show and have no idea about US interview shows because I don't live there. My opinion was about this video.

They're pretty common. It's just most of them don't become rock stars and appear as guests on talk shows. If you think the way you do then you need to assess the people that surround you.

Yes

I see what you're saying however some of the kindest and most successful people have come from broken homes, at the same time people raised by good parents can turn out as assholes. I believe it comes down to the individual and not entirely on the parents, although good parenting can help of course.

Nick Jay I absolutely agree, that can be true as well

Indeed he was... And a great education system whos emphasis was on producing rounded, emphatetic and compassion human beings

let's be real, he isn't the only one lol

@@vilma743 too true! He is sooooo lush xx

Hahaha, yes exactly, it was such a sweet moment to witness as a viewer.

adorable

That 'Old' man.. is Michael Parkinson... very famous in the uk...

He’d probably blush if you told him. 💕

sui genereis it would probably be better to get rid of the audience altogether. The audience changes the dynamic of the interaction between the hosts and guest. It seems like they seek their approval and applause at times or that the audience wants something to applaud or laugh at and the hosts/guests are distracted in order to give it to them. To entertain the audience instead of just interviewing the guest I suppose is what I am getting at.

“Forest daddy” lmaoooo😂

😅 He is forest daddy

Nothing Nobody old man guest is one of the most famous journalist/chat show hosts in the UK

@@margaretmcgarry7796 Ha ha.. oh so funny seeing 'these people' call Our institution an 'old man' lol

Not everyone around the world is of your culture. They mean no disrespect.

I don't know if you know her, Jessica Kellgren also talks about quakerism in this manner. I am an atheist and I also appreciated quakerism a lot for its philosophy, how it sees other people and its beliefs in regard to being a good person

I’m a Quaker and my home Quaker Meeting and one’s I’ve traveled to across the U.S. often have a good mix of people who identify as Christian, people believe as Jesus as their savior (but don’t ID as Christian), agnostic, atheist, and folks inbetween, as well as folks from other religions. We all come together to join in the silence and wait for messages to be shared. Some weeks are hohum and others are quite beautiful and moving. But it’s always great to be together with Friends. If you’re interested, feel free to just show up at Meeting. Why not give it a try?

@@brittnar I really want to become a Quaker and attend a meeting, but there has only one group that ever existed in my country and they seem defunct now.

I would listen to him read a phone book

I've seen him in concert a few times, the accent is even better live

I have a lot of Quaker friends and I've always appreciated their open-minded nature and how they take time to listen to each other's thoughts and come to their own conclusions about the world. No doubt why they were abolitionists early on and supported gender equality even when it was not convenient or safe for them. I know that Quakers have always radically fought for justice no matter how hard it got. I have such an appreciation for them because I was raised Unitarian Universalist and UUs like to learn about other religions and philosophies, and each member of our churches is encouraged to search for their own meaning in the world and their own spiritual path. We each take inspiration from the belief systems and philosophies that ring true for us as individuals. I have UU friends who connect with both Buddhism and Wicca. There are atheists, including myself, who are humanists and find fulfillment in coming to our humanist groups or even just listening to the perspectives of others. And of course, people who connect most strongly to other belief systems like Christianity or Judaism. We, as people with varying beliefs, come together to learn from each other and experience the fulfillment of going to church, singing in the choir, sharing in a community, etc... without having to deal with the dogma and exclusion "us or them" politics we have found in so many churches, synagogues, mosques, etc... Which is not to say, that all religious communities are so narrowminded. I've definitely visited churches that fostered healthy communities and made me feel welcome despite my more agnostic mindset. It's just that it's been so difficult, especially in this time of division, to find a religious community that isn't pushing dogma. I am grateful for Quakers because they have, in my experience, always been welcoming and compassionate.

I was lucky enough to be raised Quaker and when I was younger I found sitting in silence for an hour quite difficult!! But now that I’m older I cherish the time when I get to just sit in silence and think for an hour a week! People think it would be hard to find things to think about but it’s a very cathartic experience once you actually sit down!

Janet Claire Burke I believe he is agnostic now, like most people from the similar background.

I would contemplate suicide sitting in silence with people whose company I'm impartial towards.

No matter if he's Catholic Quaker, (though to me he basically said he was not), atheist, agnostic DOESNT matter, although I believe, he didn't say it hes agnostic, HOWEVER it appears, in nursing we're TAUGHT NEVER to say appears lol, BUT it seems as though he's spiritual in a sense and hes taken away some beliefs from his Quaker up bringing, I'm no faith, BUT spiritual I believe w in each of us is a PIECE of what we know as God SOOOOOoo, to me ALL TOGETHER WE make what we know as God (No rude comments we're allowed to have opinions) but in my little world of spirituality if we all have a PIECE of "God" w in us WE ARE ALL EQUAL, WE ARE ALL THE SAME NO MATTER COLOR, CREED, SEXUALITY, OR OUR SEX, and so on. No matter he's an AMAZING soul and beautiful singer

He's a great English interviewer himself - had his own show for decades, called "Parkinson".

He TRULY seems caring thoughtful and his purpose in interviewing WASN'T to bring "Hozier" down, and or demean who he is or his beliefs or spirituality he seems to TRULY care unlike a lot of interviewers/reporters

Literally Christianity is all about that idea.

No. I'm sorry to have to tell you this but Christianity is actually based in what one would consider a Messiah or Christ. It's Christ based, hence the name. Jesus Christ. 😂

@@liz090833 We are God, our Christ and Lords, children and carry the inheritage with us, within ourselves, so yes carry something divine within would you not say? Some would.

Funny part is; it seems quite some are living from/by the spark of one and nothing for that one.

There is a really great youtube channel called Quaker Speak that I recommend to anyone who would like to know more about Quakers, it is a very inclusive and diverse religion. And to address Flowerprincess's comment, the Quaker religion actually started as an offshoot from Christianity in the 17th century (Quakers have a very interesting history. They were viciously persecuted in England which led many Quakers to move to the American Colonies) and there are still Christian/evangelical Quakers (many are in Africa where they focus their missionary work). Unprogrammed Quakers are the non-evangelical sect which is what Hoziers parents are. :)

난몰라 hi i am that friend

@@inirotimi Hello friend, I will report back to you when I hear word on how to execute this plan

Lol you guys remind me of my high school freshman skype group.

Step 1: Take a number and stand in line... P.S: You'll be given further instructions when you reach the front of the line. This may take a couple of years

Zanele Mnguni this thread is killing me 🤣

YES YES YES he's so well spoken obviously, no matter his "belief" now, he's taken away from his upbringing to be a genuine person very personable and caring I love that

tanu people usually looks up to remember, to ´´look´´ at they´re memories. not good at english hehe, but just saying

@@petrinekristiansen may be but I kind of find it fascinating

@@tanuthakur9295 yes you can, and he is

he strikes me as the kind of person who is always in deep thought, it’s interesting

tanu thakur when people look up they are trying to remember

eamon kerrins They're just not aware of his fame in U.K., just shows how he's just an ageing human in the scheme of things

@@seabell475 He was great, I ony got to know him after the fact, but still enjoy watching his interviews. Talk shows can be pretty crappy these days. Graham Norton is great though!

ha ha. >He is an elderly man now.. But Really how can anyone call Michael Parkinson and 'Old Man' how dare they lol... Im with you

eamon kerrins most Americans don't have much exposure to him therefore don't know who he is.

Is he not an old man?.....if he was 20 yrs old and everyone referred to him as the young man...that would be ok.....lol.. whatever

He's hosting a wonderful podcast ("Cry Power") where he's interviewing fellow artists who are changing the world for the better. If you liked this interview and his voice of course - I'm sure you'll love it!

@@fenja9600 thank you for this.... Will look that up pronto :) I love his attitude and his voice too.... Swoon 😍❤️💗♥️💖😊

His singing voice is even more magnificent!

He speaks like my grandmother who was from Wicklow - some very gentle and expressive people there, especially the older generations

Nice Dublin accent x

Hasani Browne you and I both😪

I kinda met him yesterday so I’m binge watching all these videos😭 I hope you get to meet him. He is amazing

Veronica Goetz You’re so lucky😭

Wow I always thought Quakers were on the “weird” end of the spectrum but they sound just as reasonable, if not MORE reasonable, than most religious sects?? I’m just realizing how little I actually understand about Quakers. I grew up Catholic and people around me always had misconceptions about I what it was like growing up in a Catholic household and I’m realizing I’m similarly ignorant to Quakers

I grew up attending a quaker camp also. I've reconnected with it as a young adult and it has brought a great deal of value into my life spiritually speaking.

TRINITY COLLEGE education right there.

@@souloftheage His education was at Delgany National School & St Gerard's School. Studied music at Trinity Collage, his eduction was already done b4 Trinity Collage.

Thanks so much for your feedback, we appreciate it!

Linda Martin wow 🙂 amazing!

They're wonderful people so thoughtful and caring, you can tell by his mannerisms and gestures hes held onto that

Some of the most caring and “others” centered people. In service to others, we are truly free.

Linda Martin Has vuthe i

I wish they could read your comment - Casa de los Amigos is currently in a bit of administrative upheaval and are trying to push the Quakers out, which is quite baffling.

I have the very same sentiments, coming from Ireland as well. It's super interesting. I remember from history class that the Quakers were among the most proactive in offering relief to the people of Ireland during the Famine, in the absence of state-sanctioned provisions from across the water, so it's certainly interesting to hear more about them and their pacifist ethos.

Same!

Thanks so much, Nancy! We appreciate the feedback 😄

Krazee Diamond, I’m sorry if I offend you in any way. But perhaps you can educate me in this matter in this comment section? I would really like to learn more. I don’t want to go to google for I want to hear it from a real person with real experience in this.

@@nj7920 I've only been to a Quaker meeting once so far but I'd like to go back, and if you're interested in learning more about Quakerism, I recommend the youtube channel QuakerSpeak

@@nj7920 You should look at the youtube channel Quaker Speak. Quakers (aka the Society of Friends) is a very diverse religion. Krazeeis right that it is kind of the least religious religion. It has very few actual rules. The Quaker Speak youtube channel interviews different types of Quakers from different places about religious and cultural topics. I think you would find it helpful if you would like more info about Quakers :)

@@nj7920 Jessica Kellgren-Fozard also has quite a few videos on her Quakerism! In a few she explains her experience of religion and sexuality coinciding and her Quaker wedding to her wife etc. The sweetest couple with brilliant videos

Damini Datta Chowdhury He's not underrated, he's absolutely appreciated by the ones who understand. His music isn't for everyone, it's for gourmets ;)

Underrated? Why underrated? He is very successful and nobody denies his talent and the exceptionality of his voice. It seems to me the word "underrated" is used too often nowadays. I read it everywhere and rarely "a propos"

oh my gah, it would be beautiful. Both seem very free spirited and look up equally as much when they speak.

Omggg I bet they would really like each other

😍😍😍

irritating right.... what really put me off was how slow he was. It took him ages to finish a sentence and he had to restart a couple times. :D I still love him but this kinda stuff makes me extremely impatient.

Yeah it's a bit of an irish thing

@@Sheytopia He's thinking...being pensive...people rush too much. Different strokes for different folks.

Sounds like he was only a Quaker as a child, perhaps not for very long at all.

whoah i never said it was annoying, i love the way he thinks and speaks and i was just kinda playing off the whole “is hozier an immortal being/raised by faeries” thing! and yeah that makes sense that it’s an irish thing

That is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing❤

me too!

I think you mean ''thoroughly''...

Maryann M lol thank u yes

@@representationmetaphorique lol

IKR!!! I thought I was a HOZIER fan but apparently not.

@Gaeoal Murdo 'Always' and 'Thoroughly' don't quite express the same thing in this context. It seems to mean 'I undoubtedly thought he was a Catholic', rather than just 'I always thought he was Catholic' because the apparent super fan wished to emphasize the strength of her knowledge about Hozier- though it was subsequently revealed to her in this video that her 'knowledge' was mere assumption. :P

Mylinda Ogundipe God

Yep

I have really bad news. Your condition is permanent. 🤣😍😎

I could be his mom, and I have such a crush on him. Talented, beautiful and so articulated. Intelligent and kind.

I think the vagueness you refer to comes from him being very shy, self conscious and mildly socially awkward, and therefore he has trouble articulating his thoughts concisely in front of people, especially quite a big audience.
