In 2013 he released his debut EP, featuring the hit single "Take Me to Church", and his second EP "From Eden" in 2014. His debut studio album, "Hozier", was released in Ireland in September 2014 and globally in October 2014.

Hozier was born in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland. His mother is the visual artist Raine Hozier-Byrne (who also designed his latest album cover). He began a degree in music at Trinity College, Dublin, but dropped out midway through his first year in order to record demos for Universal Music. While at Trinity, he became involved with the Trinity Orchestra. He was a member of Anúna from 2008 to 2012, and appears as a soloist on their 2012 release "Illumination" singing "La Chanson de Mardi Gras". He toured and sang with the group internationally including performances in Norway and the Netherlands.

In 2013, Hozier released the EP "Take Me to Church EP" (also containing "Like Real People Do", "Angel of Small Death and The Codeine Scene" and a live version of "Cherry Wine"), with the title track becoming his breakthrough single after it went viral on YouTube. It reached number one on the Irish iTunes singles chart and number two in the official chart on 25 October 2013.

Hozier followed up Take Me to Church with the new EP "From Eden EP" (also containing "Work Song", "Arsonist's Lullabye" and a live version of "To Be Alone"), and a number of festival tour dates and television appearances in the United States. Hozier released his self-titled album, "Hozier" on 19 September 2014. It had five singles including "Take Me to Church", "Work Song", and "From Eden", which were hits on his earlier EPs. On December 2014, it was announced that "Take Me to Church" was nominated at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards for Song of the Year in 2015.

In March 2019 he released Wasteland, Baby!. Sam Sodomsky's review in Pitchfork notes that "He’s got a gorgeous voice. Booming and effervescent, it’s an instrument that communicates passion, adventure, and wisdom," but also noted that the length of the album (14 tracks) became "humdrum."

Take Me to Church
Hozier 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?
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

"The Meaning"
The song comes in two parts: an adoration of Hozier's female lover and an indictment of the church.

Hozier begins by singing about an imaginary girlfriend who "giggles at a funeral," and who "knows everybody's disapproval." He regrets not having "worshipped her sooner." Hozier is strongly attracted to this woman, whomever she is.

In the next stanza, he claims that "[i]f the heavens ever did speak / she's the last true mouthpiece." He believes that if God exists, He would speak through this woman. And compared to her, he believes church to be a "bleak" place, that spits out "poison" at those who attend, telling them that they were "born sick" in sin. This girl is more desirable than church and, he thinks, a better way to understand the meaning of life.

In the next stanza, Hozier sings that his girlfriend invites him to "worship in the bedroom" and that he's sent to Heaven when he's with her. The main point of this song is that Hozier feels closer to God (or the "good life" or "right living") in the act of love in sex, not when he adheres to established religion.

The chorus is an explicit and sarcastic attack on legalistic churches (or any church that follows guides which cause congregants to feel shame). Hozier sings, "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." He claims that the church demeans its attendees and attacks them for the things they do when those things go against the church's doctrine.

Then, Hozier reinforces his opinion that sex (whether heterosexual or homosexual, his interviews show) is an act of love far better than being beholden to a religion. He claims to be "a pagan of the good times" who worships his lover who is "the sunlight." But, in keeping with the pagan imagery, this "goddess . . . demands a sacrifice," and that is the act of sex, which Hozier refers to with innuendoes referencing "something shiny," "drain[ing] the whole sea," and "[s]omething meaty for the main course."

Near the end of the song, he re-summarizes his thesis: "In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene / Only then I am human / Only then I am clean." What the church considers an "earthly scene"--intercourse not within a heterosexual marriage--Hozier finds to be one way to ultimate satisfaction in life, something to be pursued and claims it to be "innocence." To end the song, he compares the love he has just described to his view of the church, repeating the chorus twice, emphasizing the stark contrast he sees there.

His ultimate question seems to be: How could anyone choose a rule-making (or shame-adding) church over the experience of love in sex no matter what the form?

Hozier's Intention
In an interview with the Star Tribune, Hozier explains that his song is an attack on anti-homosexuality in the church, especially the Catholic church: “I’m not condemning the church or religion on the whole, just that one policy [the anti-same sex marriage policy], which seems so wrong to me. And obviously I’m not alone in thinking that.” According to an interview with The Cut, the song is also about homophobia in general and state oppression of homosexuals in Russia. Hozier meant the song and the music video to attack policies that value rules and prejudice over love and acceptance.

To make this point, "Take Me to Church's" music video shows a gay couple being hunted and tortured by a mob of masked and hooded men. Viewers, first, see the couple making out and, then, the mob torturing one of the men. In explaining the video in an interview with Fuse TV, Hozier says, "If you feel offended or disgusted by the image of two people kissing, if that's what it is, but you're more disgusted by that than the actual violence...I think you should take a look at your values, maybe." Through these images, Hozier wants to prove that being anti-gay is far worse than enjoying homosexual love.

As an appropriate summary of his viewpoint, Hozier says in his interview with The Cut that "[t]he song is about asserting yourself and reclaiming your humanity through an act of love. Turning your back on the theoretical thing, something that's not tangible, and choosing to worship or love something that is tangible and real — something that can be experienced.”

@random stuff no wait, i should phrase that better.

Men are NOT the dominion in this world, that's just pure misogyny and patriarchy.

Neither are women

Sexual orientation is real because being straight is a sexual orientation

There are gay Christians, I am a gay Catholic.

It's called sexual orientation because just as you would be attracted to men to have intercourse, the community would be attracted to whoever they want to have lives with.

It's people like you who make me want to leave the church. The trauma it brings from you.

Christian here. I’m writing it because I could not find anyone here having said it yet and because it is on my heart:

The video is about homophobia, the song is about a person accusing God, or religion, for being hated because he is gay.

Please note that homophobia is not always linked to religion. You can find a ton of people who do not necessarily believe in something, but hate LGTBQI+ people just because they are different.

In the video, you see a group of angry, violent young men who KILL another human being. Note that this is NOT Christian. As a Christian I cannot speak for other religions, just for Christianity. And this behavior is certainly NOT Christian.

Christianity is about LOVE. It is what Jesus, our Lord and Savior, represents and preaches all throughout His time on earth: “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” (John 13:34)
We can also find in the Bible: “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

Moreover, Jesus teaches us to be just, not treating others like we wouldn’t want to be treated ourselves: “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” (Luke 6:31)

And we are not only called to love our friends, but also our ENEMIES: “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy’, but I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:43-44).

This includes loving those, and praying for them, who do not share our beliefs as Christians, who have a different lifestyle, other opinion, etc. etc.

Being Christian is about love - if you do not live in love, love for your neighbor, love for your enemy, you cannot be close to God, because God is love (1 John 4:8)

So, as a summary: the men who persecute the lovers in the video are NOT Christian.

Are there so-called Christians in the world who would do this? Sadly, yes. Well I tell you, they do not carry JESUS and his teachings in their heart.

A Christian filled with love - as Jesus wanted it - would never persecute ANYONE for ANY reason, nor insult them, nor humiliate them, nor cause them to suffer, nor beat them up, nor cause any pain to them, be it psychologically or physically.
Because NOBODY wishes to be treated like that, so we do not treat our fellow humans like that.

It’s simple.

May God in the name of Jesus Christ bless you all, grant you happiness, health and enlighten you with His love and wisdom. ❤✌🏼

I can't understand why people have so much hate in their hearts

damian jwz

Most people that been hurt will go hurt others

Marc BARBIER

mostly because hate is a good way to protect yourself from what is perceived as bad / decadent / different.

the key work here is perceived.

It's not hate it's disgust of people like this
'Cause it's not a part of human nature to be gay
These all ideas that came out of devil's mind and just for making a video to make u feel empathy about them
Ofc what some people of the church does is absolutely wrong but that doesn't mean we justify the great sin they does as a right they have bc we just have empathy for the people that burned alive
We feel empathy about them bc they are humans not bc they are gay
That's rhe right thing

I first watched this video when I was a kid and I remember watching it and wondering why those men where attacking the other men and I remember asking my mum and she explained kind of briefly homophobia and I think that was the first time I ever learnt about it. Its odd coming back and revisiting it years and years later, but it's a beautiful video and an amazing song xx

I thought of this song recently as we approach the World Cup in Qatar. I also thought of it on the eve of the World Cup in Russia. The lyrics of this song are chillingly beautiful and the video is deeply emotional. Shame on FIFA, who's corruption has allowed vile homophobic regimes to ruin our sport.

I can´t understand how there can be people so homophobic to treat a human being like that, as a gay guy I feel insecure at the streets, i don´t want to be found murdered o beated just because of loving a person that has the same gender as me.

Its not a sexual orientation, its a pathology centered around dominance and being dominated. I think its a way of coping with trauma. Thats not to say we should persecute them because we all have pathology and we can all be redeemed by Christ.

It’s not necessarily about you goin through the same exact thing ….it’s how you interpret the song in YOUR way….of course the artist made it for a certain reason but this song is powerful and speaks to me in a different way as well….basically I’m sorry for being me but please accept me for what I am….that’s what it means to me 🤷🏻

@Js S. Yeah ur right, and I hope that you have a song that describes how you feel so you can get the pain off of ur chest.

This song is about EXACTLY what you're struggling with. That's what songs, and art in general do. You pull from your experiences to appreciate them. The artist's meaning, while important, doesn't have to match with it's meaning to you. And even that can change over time as we grow, learn, and experience new things. I hope this song continues to help you.

@romaysa I think it's basically about the church's contempt for relationships. The relationship between a man and a woman is not welcomed by the church, and same-sex relationships are even more so+ in the song, the "lover" of the main character does not have a specific gender, so I think it works both ways

@Gianna Oliveri Not neccessarily just the church. Hozier said that "church" is a metaphor for any power with corrupt views. Be it based on anything. If you have to endure hate from that power for something you can't help but aren't hurting anyone with it, then said power fits the metaphor.

@★Dylan★ Dear brother, it really îs The end of The world, The sign 666, will be keeping sunday, now what im saying, îs not all adventist repent, as I dont say not all catolics or even, now practicant satanist wont redeem, many will fqll from faith, others that were decived,The entire life, will be very greatfull, and will sincerly turn to god! No în îs reedemed by his deeds,but by gods grace! Read isaias 55 and 56 and 31! If not tell this to a godfearing, but mislead and decived family or friends. You May save a soul , god works în mysterious ways! One more very important thing, The decive that The soul lives afterlife, its a lie, theres no such thing! Ecl3siast 9:4,5 "The man after death, no longer knows anything, hes wishes hes toughts are all gone,he no longer knows anything happening under The sun,even his name îs forgotten" True this idea of afterlife satan decives huge,many ways! For exemple purgatory, depicts god as cruel,no wonder many catolics dont believe în god! Or if theres a purgatory then I can do whatever I want,îl bună anyways,;plus confessions I always did, ave maryas I always said, candles lițe by loved ones, imma be ok. ..... wouldnt that be convenient...! But another crazy huge răzbit he hits, îs trowing poor people, instead of going to god, The only doctor, directly to The one that caused The problem în The first place,under s-o much names, theres s-o called "spirits or energies" , crap theres just demons ,on there work of deciving even more! For exemple: ( The yoga-karma bullshit, tarot, wicca,seance, ouija table, Charlie Charlie,witchraft, horoscop, chaneling .. and s-o on) oh yeah and The first two comandemnts are totaly butchered by catolicism and ortodoxism to: I am youre god, do not have other gods, and do not worship or give prayse to anything and anyone else,do not keep idols, do not forge lokalikes, there shall be no paintings of anything în skyes or on earth :its full(The pope, priests, countless saints, pictures with Mary, angels, opulence ,cruces, dead corpses.. u name it) god bless you and youre loved ones! Remember, its late, god calls us all by name, its oure choice as we have free will, god îs not a tiran, satans a liqr thats all! You make 1 step god makes 100, god bless you and youre loved ones!

Dominic Manlalaban

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 want to say this, this song can make a person think. I my self can honestly say that being different is not ugly. People are ugly when they aren't satisfied with our differences.

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

Me entristece que no dejen vivir su vida a los demás, pero lo mas triste es ver qué muchos creyentes de diferentes religiones condenan a seres por su forma de actuar, creo que nadie es perfecto en esta vida y que todos los seres humanos tienen el derecho de vivir su vida como se les da la regalada gana, y si que si a algunos les molesta los actos de otros,solo siga su camino y no contamine ni condene su alma condenando a los demás, ya que usted no es nadie para hacerlo,piense en sus propios pecados primero para ver los pecados de los demás.
Dios es el único que puede juzgar.

Seems like an Xavier Dolan movie but that is dark
Xavier Dolan is an LGBT filmmaker (is LGBT and makes LGBT films) wrote and filmed his first film as a teenager and released it at age 20 in 2009. Most people his age back then just messed around and had kids while he was writing and producing and filming

This seems like a movie he’d make only darker

I come from a country where homofobia is a social norm, so I grew up thinking that the love between two men is not ok.
This video was the first step for me in questioning this norm. Think for yourself people, lives might depend on it.

For anybody who doesn't know what the chest is there for, it's a representation of their love. They have to keep their love locked away and buried deep down so nobody can know. They destroyed the chest in the fire then killed the man, destroying their love.
