I go to a catholic school and in religion we had to pick a song that had a deep meaning (other then love songs) one of the girls picked this song and you should’ve seen how triggered the teacher got

This song is 5 years old and I've never seen the video. wow

My lover's got humour She's the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody's disapproval They should've worshipped her sooner If the heavens ever did speak She's the last true mouthpiece Every Sunday's getting more bleak A fresh poison each week We were born sick You heard them say it My church offers no absolutes She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom" The only heaven I'll be sent to Is when I'm alone with you I was born sick But I love it Command me to be well A-a-a-a-a-a-a, amen, amen, amen Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Oh good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Oh good God, let me give you my life If I'm a pagan of the good times My lover's the sunlight To keep the goddess on my side She demands a sacrifice Drain the whole sea Get something shiny Something meaty for the main course That's a fine looking high horse What you got in the stable? We've a lot of starving faithful That looks tasty That looks plenty This is hungry work Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Offer me my deathless death Oh good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Offer me my deathless death Oh good God, let me give you my life No masters or kings when the ritual begins There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene Only then, I am human Only then, I am clean Oh, oh, amen, amen, amen Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Oh good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Oh good God, let me give you my life

Who's watching it on April 2024?😅

It’s literally so sad that people get killed for race, religion, sexuality and more, they aren’t hurting you so why do you hate them? Edit: ain’t no way y’all fighting over this…

so did everyone just remember this song or what?

This song is almost 10yrs old , but I found this masterpiece in 2024. Only 1 time I heard this song and it took a place in my heart❤

I always use to sing the lyrics "take me to church I'll worship like a dog in the Saturday live."😭😭😭

I remember they played this song on the way home in the bus from christian girls camp and all the girls & leaders were singing along LMFAOOOO

Religious moms: Sing this song because it has amen in it Their lgbtq+ children: (:O)

Tengo una gran pesar, me siento fatal, pero simplemente existo a pesar del dolor qué hay en mi, está canción no me va a quitar el malestar, pero sin duda me ayuda a sobrellevarlo, la música para mi es un compañero, alguien que está conmigo y me ayuda a sentirme reconfortado, esta canción me cautivo desde que la escuche, y la verdad me sigue encantado, la letra, la voz… me ayuda a sentirme tranquilo. Y el mensaje me hace conectar.

2025 anyone?

I love how christians are fighting for this to not be a gay song and to be a christian song while in the chorus it littlearly says how the church is stabbing ur back and its a shrine of lies.

"we were born sick, heard them sayin' " Like exactly thats the part where y'all can get its about homosexuality

10 years later and i still get goosebumps at this song and this video still makes me sob. Thank you for your work ❤

Wow it's my first time watching the music video (though I've heard the song before) but I was in awe and was grabbing on my seat due to intense music video. Great job!! Let's aim for 1 billion views!!

Reminder that this shit STILL happens. people are still murdered for their sexual orientation, so videos like this are still just as important. Be safe, but be proud everyone

Ok but no one is talking about his lover getting killed in the end, that really broke my heart into pieces.

*”We we’re born sick, You heard them say it”* NO ONE should have to hear that for being themselves. I’m a Christian and I DON’T CARE if I get hate for this comment. People should be able to be themselves WITHOUT HATE. In the Bible it says to love others around you, so why’s are people getting hate for being themselves?!

Whos listening this masterpiece in 2024 😎 👍🏻

Let’s repeat all togheter: THIS SONG IS NOT A RELIGIOUS SONG.

Title : Take Me To Church Singer : Irish Meaning : about lgbt Comments : English Subtitle : Japanese

Я один пришел посмотреть за что оштафовыли девушку из Славянска-на-Кубани?

Makes me so proud to be irish listening to hoziers voice what a truly talented musician he is i remember when this song came out was played everywhere

Everyone wonders whats in the box...its his secret that no one knows so he has hidden it (him being gay) then when they come to him to find out his secret but they find it and start beating open the box like they are beating him, the box is him they want to open it to tell everyone to let his secret out. Thats what I get out of it.

Me : *asks what she’s listening to* My mom : christian rock music Me : *ok mom*

i'm from a catholic school and a member of a poetry club. The teacher showed this to us and told us to decipher both the lyrics and the music video. It was a bit awkward at first but for people who is into poetry, we should be open for almost everything. I treated this as a new perspective back then. I still love this to this day

Who remembers when this song came out?

"there is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin" bro... 😭 this song will always have a special place in my heart.

Fun fact: when I was younger, I wondered why they didn’t play this on Sunday with the other Christian songs. My bad-

Amo esta canción tanto su adaptación en español como la de inglés (I love this song both its adaptation to Spanish and the English one)

2024 anyone??!

I just now realized that when he’s saying “amen”, it sounds like he’s saying “gay men”, I know he isn’t but I can’t get it out of my head now

I see humans but not humanity...

2024 anyone?

One of the best songs ever If this isn’t playing at my funeral I ain’t dying

I've only just watched this today and realised what the song actually was about

English Subtitles: No Subtitles in Japanese: _Yes_ *Stonks*

Even after a decade it remains unsurpassed 🔥

The amount of power this song holds is like no other

Gay marriage in the US wasn't even legal when this came out think about that

Lycris: My lover's got humor She's the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody's disapproval I should've worshiped her sooner If the Heavens ever did speak She's the last true mouthpiece Every Sunday's getting more bleak A fresh poison each week "We were born sick", you heard them say it My church offers no absolutes She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom" The only Heaven I'll be sent to Is when I'm alone with you I was born sick, but I love it Command me to be well A-, Amen, Amen, Amen Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life If I'm a pagan of the good times My lover's the sunlight To keep the Goddess on my side She demands a sacrifice Drain the whole sea Get something shiny Something meaty for the main course That's a fine looking high horse What you got in the stable? We've a lot of starving faithful That looks tasty That looks plenty This is hungry work Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Offer me my deathless death Good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife Offer me my deathless death Good God, let me give you my life No masters or kings when the ritual begins There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene Only then I am human Only then I am clean Oh, oh, Amen, Amen, Amen Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life

I’m always gonna come back to this wonderful and amazing song ❤️

música de ouvir mais de 80 vezes, dormir, acordar e continuar ouvindo!!!

Hozier calls for cab. Cab arrives, the driver recognises him... Hozier:”Eh...i would you like to..” Driver:*excited*”Take you to church?”

Anyone else confused how people thought this was a religious song? He literally says "worship in the bedroom" and "shrine of your lies."

2069 anyone?

This song will outlive youtube

9 years old me: * likes this Song * 16 years old me: * understand the Song *

I cant be the only one that didn’t know that this song was about gay people Cmon Edit: must of y’all acting like im hating gays. Dude, im bi😂

wow 10 years later and it still a banger

I COME TO THIS SOM EVERYTIME IM SAD OR CRYING AN IT HELPS ME CALM DOWN 😢

I had a family member be killed for being gay. I never met him but it breaks my heart

lyrics: My lover's got humor She's the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody's disapproval I should've worshiped her sooner If the Heavens ever did speak She's the last true mouthpiece Every Sunday's getting more bleak A fresh poison each week "We were born sick", you heard them say it My church offers no absolutes She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom" The only Heaven I'll be sent to Is when I'm alone with you I was born sick, but I love it Command me to be well A-, Amen, Amen, Amen Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life If I'm a pagan of the good times My lover's the sunlight To keep the Goddess on my side She demands a sacrifice Drain the whole sea Get something shiny Something meaty for the main course That's a fine looking high horse What you got in the stable?

These beautiful times will never return😢😢

Love is love...no matter what?...God Bless (:

Me when I was little: "Why do my parents listen to this song? We're atheists...." Me now: *"👁👄👁 Oh."*

the first time that i listened to this, instead of singing ‘amen’ i would sing ‘gay men’ edit: i would sing this not because i wanted to, but because i thought that was what the song said and since the video matched, i never questioned it.

Don't ask who's here. We never left.

2024 and I'm still listening to this song ♥

Here Comes LYRICS - My lover's got humor She's the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody's disapproval I should've worshiped her sooner If the Heavens ever did speak She's the last true mouthpiece Every Sunday's getting more bleak A fresh poison each week "We were born sick", you heard them say it My church offers no absolutes She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom" The only Heaven I'll be sent to Is when I'm alone with you I was born sick, but I love it Command me to be well A-, Amen, Amen, Amen Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life If I'm a pagan of the good times My lover's the sunlight To keep the Goddess on my side She demands a sacrifice Drain the whole sea Get something shiny Something meaty for the main course That's a fine looking high horse What you got in the stable?

Kids at my Christian school are singing this constantly and I am just trying not to laugh since they don’t know what it actually means. (Edit: spelling) (Edit 2= I am going to clarify this. I AM CHRISTIAN! I Know that that doesn’t mean you’re homophobic! )

This song is my favourite song because of the vocals

so it's 2024 I'm from russia and I've decided to rewatch this video after I read in the news that one of my compatriots was fined for having this clip on her social network page. I'm actually crying.

2014: Try not to sing 2021: Try not to cry

After 6 years I’m still trying to understand what’s in the box

Bro 10 years now and it’s still a masterpiece

Essa música tem uma força que não consigo explicar.

i already have seen 4 peaple comment ”Let’s see how many people listening to this masterpiece in February.” stop. why do you do this.

My lover's got humor She's the giggle at a funeral Knows everybody's disapproval I should've worshiped her sooner If the Heavens ever did speak She's the last true mouthpiece Every Sunday's getting more bleak A fresh poison each week "We were born sick", you heard them say it My church offers no absolutes She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom" The only Heaven I'll be sent to Is when I'm alone with you I was born sick, but I love it Command me to be well A-, Amen, Amen, Amen Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life If I'm a pagan of the good times My lover's the sunlight To keep the Goddess on my side She demands a sacrifice Drain the whole sea Get something shiny Something meaty for the main course That's a fine looking high horse What you got in the stable?

“My church offers no absolutes” good, only a Sith deals in absolutes.

And this song is beautiful and I never stopped listening to it

I remember one day I was on my rooftop balcony like: "Who TF is blasting ´Take Me To Church´ in the middle of Millennium Park [in Chicago]?" and it ended up being Hozier himself rehearsing for his performance scheduled for days later! I was like 👁👄👁👂🏻

Ok the fact that people think this sing is about worshipping god o and Jesus is wrong it’s about. A gay dude getting harassed by a church and his boyfriend / husband was trying to find him after he got kidnapped

I'm a 175 year old turtle from Yugoslavia and I love this song..

I had no idea tbis songs as old as it is. Thought only a few yrs. Such a good song

I'm straight man... But honestly, wken they kiss at that exact time In the song with that triumphant, fuck everything we're in love moment it was just beautiful

Nobody: My child ass singing this song 6 yrs. ago not knowing the meaning: (-0-)

2026 anyone?

if your religion requires hate, it’s not a religion, it’s you modelling it to fit your homophobia, racism, sexism, etc. stop hating on people, if you believe in God you must believe in love. from a muslim girl.

I find it ironic how you people argue with each other on a video of a song that promotes peace. I am agnostic, and support gay rights. Should God be real, and being gay is a sin, then that is for THAT GOD to decide, not you. I was once a Christian and I distinctly remember being told not to judge people, and to respect my peers. Grow up. This video promotes nothing but peace. It promotes the acceptance of all people in this world, regardless of their religion, sexual orientation, or even views on either of the two. Learn some respect when you talk to people.

heard this back in 2014 and still appreciating it 10 years later, this song will live on forever.

Only the best people have loved ones laughing at their funeral.

i remember when i listened to this has a kid, now that i know stuff, im like: "OHH THATS WHY"

Мы выросли и теперь эта песня вызывает чувство ностальгии

Hozier, when this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and then jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - The Chess Piece” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you 💕😊

why did i think reading the comments would be fun?

Cuando esta canción, salió yo tenia 8 años y era mi favorita. Todo el tiempo sonaba en Alfa 91.3

Esta canção é um grito de socorro😢

Absolutely all of you beautiful people are valid. You’re family doesn’t accept you? I’m you’re new family. You’re doing great

I know this song isn’t Christian but Hozier kinda looks like Jesus.

Essa música , só lembranças boas do primeiro amor , porém uma trágica história a letra se refere ❤

My perents jamming to what they think is a Christian song Me actually seen the video and knowing the meaning...

I can't believe how long I've known this song for without knowing what it was about.

who's still listening to this in 2024 👇

gracias a esta rola, por fin pude dormir tranquilo...

"We were born sick, you heard them say it" if this doesn't give a truer meaning of this song then idk what else will.

It makes me disgusted to see people being killed for being themselves.Religion is fine,as long as it means you aren't trying to make people feel bad for who they are

How does this not have a billion views?

This brings back so many memories 😭😭
