Yes Hozier, give us that post apocalyptic lullaby

Did he just end it with “that’s it” and a chuckle? Im found dead in the swamps

He makes the word 'wasteland' sound like a coveted paradise

All the comments on here are like a year old so I'm not sure if anyone will see this, but i think i just had a religious experience with this song?? I've not been feeling very mentally sound as of late, the world being what it is right now and a lot of stress in my personal life as well. Today in particular I was feeling especially bad. Well, there was a little thunderstorm going through my town, I could hear the rain and thunder raging on outside. I'm not sure what possessed me to do it but I decided to go out and see it. I grabbed my jacket, umbrella, and phone, and went outside. I thought I should listen to something while I stood there, so I picked this. It was so perfect it almost felt timed. The rain and the thunder raged loudly in the background while he sang throughout the song, and then, at the very end, as his voice trailed off and the guitar faded away, the rain dissipated to a drizzle and I could hear birds singing. I heard him say "That's it.", and chuckle as I took a deep breath and for the first time in a long time I felt ok. I felt hope that things in the future are going to be ok. I'm not sure if anyone will read this comment that's already way too long, but I hope that I remember that experience for the rest of my life. We're going to be ok, and I really believe that now.

this is so soft, it’s like you’re being sung to sleep a lullaby to ease your nerves as the world dies

Depression, Cured Wig, Snatched Wasteland, baby

“That’s it” was officially the last thing I heard this decade

I feel like this song isn’t actually about the apocalypse, but it’s metaphor for the way we feel when we fall in love. Everything else stops mattering as much. There’s a lot of shitty things in life, but sometimes that loses meaning when we fall in love. Everything else can be burning up around us but we find peace in that one person.

"That's it." WHO TF CAN MAKE WHISPERS SOUND LIKE ART THIS IS SO UNFAIR OMG

His voice edited to sound like he's singing from below the water just makes this more special.

I had an assumption that wasteland, baby might be upbeat but damn this is even better.

The little xylophone noises that start at 1:43 sound like what sun rays reflecting on water looks like. I’m in love

I assumed that this song would be like "FCK the world, let's go down fighting" but what I got was a pure emotion of adoring someone to your soul. Like in the far future when our Sun finally dies- that quiet moment as you and people you care about stare at the sky as and you see the end of our solar system. Kind of like that old couple in Titanic to chose to stay in the boat.

My girlfriend and I saw him last night, in Raleigh, NC, where he said he first came up with the song during his last tour. He played the sounds of rain in the background, just like the night he came up with the idea of the song. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever experienced, holding her and swaying and just listening to this beautiful voice sing. Seeing Hozier live is really a magical experience.

My boyfriend and I want to slow dance to this at our wedding as a nod to how everything was when we started dating. Everything was chaotic and there was a lot of fear, but two men found comfort and peace in each other and things seemed less scary.

do you ever hear a song that makes you softly say "oh..."??

he really took the whole bog man thing and ran with it, huh

Bog king take me to your bog

I feel like i can't really listen to new hozier songs consecutively because each one needs to sink in properly first and let go of my soul before I can move to the next. Only thing is, that can take over weeks :/

this song just licked the inside of my soul

This song is so gentle and yet so intense at the same time and I can’t get enough of it. Can I inject Hozier straight into my veins?

He makes the swamps sound like heaven

I'll take this song as Hozier finally admitting to being immortal.

I love what he did to make his voice sound fuzzy and shaky, makes it more emotional

im planning on playing this song on new years eve at 11:55:43 so he whispers "thats it" at 12 :) edit: I DID IT AND IT WAS SO GOOD

That exclamation point tricked me into thinking this was gonna be upbeat....but I ain't even mad because it's beautiful. I actually had to sit down.

I cry listening to this song because it reminds me of how much love I have to give and nobody to love. I want someone to show Hozier's songs to and say, "This is how I feel about you."

His album cover is a painting his mom made of him.

This hits different in 2020

All the fear and the fire of the end of the world Happens each time a boy falls in love with a girl Happens great, happens sweet Happily, I'm unfazed here, too Wasteland, baby I'm in love, I'm in love with you All the things yet to come are the things that have passed Like the old enough hands, like the breaking of glass Like the bonfire that burns, at all worth in the fight fell too Wasteland, baby I'm in love, I'm in love with you And I love too, that love soon might end Be known in its aching Shown in the shaking Lately of my wasteland, baby Be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking Though quaking, though crazy That's just wasteland, baby And that day that we watch the death of the sun That the cloud and the cold and those jeans you have on And you gaze unafraid as they sob from the city ruins Wasteland, baby I'm in love, I'm in love with you And I love too, that love soon might end Be known in its aching Shown in the shaking Lately of my wasteland, baby Be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking Though quaking, though crazy That's just wasteland, baby And the stance of the sea and the absence of green Are the death of all things that I've seen and unseen Aren't end, but the start of all things that are left to do Wasteland, baby I'm in love, I'm in love with you (That's it)

After almost five years, this album is finally here and it was worth the wait. Now let's gonna take our shoes off and walk on the forest.

This song takes me to a time when i could crawl into my mother's lap and feel absolutely safe knowing nothing will harm me. I love you Hozier for making me feel like this.

ah yes i need a lil soft end of the world music during this global pandemic. stay safe, whoever is reading this.

Just like my friend said, "this is going to be a spiritual experience. "

The whispered "that's it" at the end? My god, just take my soul already.

The soundtrack to me deliberately drowning myself because of all the love i hold in my heart

If the world was to end, the background music has to be this song.

This, but playing in an abandoned church that you and your lover holed up in. It's been years since the apocalypse began and things look dire. Food is running out and there is no more clean water to be found. Nuclear fallout has turned everything grey. It is cold; warmth is a dream from a faraway past. In a few days, you will be too weak to move and find supplies and a better shelter. You both agree to just stay here, holding each other until the end. This is what you hear on your final morning: you wake up to your lover serenading you, and the world that has fallen apart. Edit: I cried at the thought of this too, I see y’all

March 1st, 2019: a day to remember

Hozier is the kind of person that i wouldn't mind if he drowns me down the nasty swamp as long as he sings throughout the process.

I know its not exactly the right interpretation but this is how I told my boyfriend I loved him for the first time. We sat on the floor in the dark and let the song play. we were definitely the corny couple that just cried and held each other. still can't listen to this song without feeling all warm and sunny inside.

At the end when he whispers "Thats it", my heart skipped a beat. Wow, just wow.

All the fear and the fire of the end of the world Happens each time a boy falls in love with a girl Happens great, happens sweet Happily, I'm unfazed here, too [Chorus] Wasteland, baby I'm in love, I'm in love with you [Verse 2] All the things yet to come are the things that have passed Like the holding of hands, like the breaking of glass Like the bonfire that burns, at all worth in the fight fell too [Chorus] Wasteland, baby I'm in love, I'm in love with you And I love too, that love soon might end Be known in its aching Shown in the shaking Lately of my wasteland, baby Be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking Though quaking, though crazy That's just wasteland, baby [Verse 3] And that day that we watch the death of the sun That the cloud and the cold and those jeans you have on And you gaze unafraid as they sob from the city ruins [Chorus] Wasteland, baby I'm in love, I'm in love with you And I love too, that love soon might end Be known in its aching Shown in the shaking Lately of my wasteland, baby Be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking Though quaking, though crazy That's just wasteland, baby [Bridge] And the stench of the sea and the absence of green Are the death of all things that are seen and unseen Not an end, but the start of all things that are left to do [Chorus] Wasteland, baby I'm in love, I'm in love with you [Outro] That's it

This song makes me feel so calm and validated. It reminds me of when I went camping as a kid, before everything went wrong in my life. When I’d stare at the sky in that wide open field; there were so many stars, too many to count.

If we knew the world was in its last hours, I’d curl up with my family and my pets and turn this on in my precious, final moments. Thank you, Hozier.

This song is my ABSOLUTE favorite. Just how eloquently he puts it, it just seems like such an ethereal and lovely experience to truly love someone. Like to love someone until the end of the earth, THAT sort of bond. His lyrics are just so freaking poetic and perfect.

Saw him in Raleigh on Saturday and he told us that this song was inspired by a huge storm that almost canceled his last concert in Raleigh a couple of years ago. He said that he had never experience the sensation of the clean warm southern rain and it soothed him. While he was in his hotel room, he was just "noodling" on his guitar and came up with the instrumental for this song. He played the track from that night and played with it before starting the song. BEST CONCERT EVER.

So dreamy and beautiful. He’s intensely private, but I can’t help wonder who he’s in love with. The last album was about love lost; this one is about love found.

There is not nearly enough recognition for this song and that saddens me. This is an art that's food for the soul.

Every song of him would fit perfectly for a very special moment in a movie, i wish he could participate on a movie soundtrack some day, it would be perfect!

that second chorus is so catchy

You’re one of the greatest musical poets out there right now... thank you god

Fuck, I'm literally crying. This is beyond beautiful. Thank you, Hozier.

2020 just ended, and the last thing i heard was hozier say “that’s it.” this man is magical i’m telling you

Hozier's music is the definition of deep and subtle beauty.

He sounds like he’s singing underwater. We love a naiad king ❤️

I'm gonna cry I've wanted this for almost 4 years

that little whisper at the end is just NGHHH

i can’t think of a better song to drown out the sound of my parents fighting:)

Listning to this Song in a bubble bath with the daylight reflecting through a small window decoration with small glass crystals is such a religiously experience i feel like im gonna cry

Hozier really gets me

There is nothing like listening to Hozier in a whicker chair, eating blackberries on a full moon, closing your eyes and reciting lyrics, and studing all day and realizing I've pushed myself and need to take a break. Hozier you will always be my voice of reason and relaxation - love from America but destined to live on the Italian countryside

The song sounds like its playing on a phonograph that's underwater. 🧜🏾‍♂️🧜🏾‍♀️

Why am I suddenly in the clouds when I hear this. This is amazing!

I was driving through the Great Smoky Mountains when this came on. The sunrise, the clouds clinging to the valleys, and the solitude of being in a car by myself just driving on mountain roads pretty much alone at 8:00 in the morning all combined made the whole experience almost ethereal.

I'm in love, I'm in love with this song

this song aged extremely well in only a year

Made me cry. Haven't known that gentle love in a long while.

Imagine someone loving you like that...

Just love the end when he said "That's it" and chuckle. How can anyone top that to finish an album? Genius.

Hozier: that’s it Everyone: MOAR PLZZZZ

When I listen to this I picture someone driving with their final ounce of petrol, the dying sun covered by thick ash clouds from volcanic activity, travelling down a desolate highway cracked and overgrown with weeds- passing cannibals dining on the unlucky and dilapidating neighbourhoods. Finding a weird sense of joy and a silver-lining amongst the wreckage of existence before the fuel runs out and they have to accept their fate.

If you lie down on your side and close your eyes while listening to this song, you’ll feel someone gently cradling you, with their heartbeat on your shoulder blade and their hand tracing your arm and GOD how did you do it Hozier???

"be known in its aching". bruhhh that got me

Is this man for real? Seriously? Edit: He's proof that God exists and uses endearments like 'baby' and 'honey' a lot.

This before this dropped I was expecting some rockish type flow 😂 I never expected this now I’m crying

this song is the purest form of comfort i know of.

“Wasteland, Baby!” - the most silent, yet loud exclamation point

“and you gaze unafraid as they sob from the city ruins” ugh ❤️

I feel divinely favored after listening to this entire album. Like, I had to exist in this era only so that I could experience Hozier. And I am grateful. 🙏 Thank you Hozier.

This tells a beautiful story of love where anything can happen and it wont matter as long as they’ll still have each other.

The "underwater" reverb of his voice is a genius match to the cover art.

This song hits differently when you're listening in March 2020

Anyone else coming back to this in mid 2020? I thought this was comforting, then 2020 happened...now it's totally, all-encompassing comforting.

Curled up in a ball in the middle of my bed just silently listening to this on repeat while it's storming outside.

one of the few ASMR videos that i truly enjoy

j'ai découvert un artiste incroyable ! Même sans connaître l' anglais, la musique est universelle ....et la sienne est magique!! J'adore!!!! Merci

I burst into tears whenever I listen to this idk why but it’s so good and means a lot to me

This song truly has been a savior for me, when I’m angry, sad, or in a funk where I don’t feel like myself, I always find my way back to this song and it puts me in a state of calm that is truly unexplainable. I feel like I’m floating in a sea of the emotion that I’m feeling, then while I listen I swim to the surface and I find myself again, in the calm of this song. And in the time that we are in, quarantine has made it so easy to feel stuck and isolated, but this song has helped me calm my nerves and feel better about the world, thank you Hozier for creating this masterpiece

A song about enduring love despite what's going on around, love the sound, very soothing

never been so glad to be awake for no reason at 3am in my life thank god for insomnia

When he says "That's it." I smile every time. Just perfect. Ugh, why aren't any of my friends fans. Now I'll have to roll solo to the concerts!

This song feels like the look you give to your lover after having the first kiss

I hope to find someone who loves me the same way I love this song

Its somehow my comfort song thanks hozier🥺

Yes , wtf this one is my favourite

This song takes me somewhere I don't know! Hauntingly Beautiful. Obsessed!

So glad I stayed up tonight!!! Even six minutes was too long!

THEM VOCALS BABY, I'M IN LOVE, I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU

Now this is a song I can slowly decompose in the grass to.
