So glad this isnt playing on the radio. How unfortunate that would be to ruin this song by over playing.

Daang Hozier sure knows how to hook the audience from the intro, all his songs have an amazing hook and such haunting lyrics..swoon

Wow, this sounds a lot like Dallas Green's voice, especially in this range. Amazing.

one of the most atnospheric songs I've heard over the past 20 years

Also, unrelated to my other comment. Every version of the lyrics to this song I have seen starts with 'Oh' but I really think it's "All but the farrow know" for two reasons 1) know doesn't have an 's' on the end, which means the subject must be plural. Now, farrow is a litter of pigs which means with UK grammar, it's probably correct anyway, but 2) it is a very different meaning if you replace 'All' with 'Oh'. First of all 'Oh but' doesn't make much sense. Second of all, if it's 'All' then the farrow doesn't know. If it's 'Oh' then the farrow does know. But baby pigs aren't going to be aware of much, especially of the fact that their own mother is going to eat them. In a live performance of this song, Hozier said that someone (I couldn't hear who) said that "Ireland is the sow that eats her farrow". If we combine this with my other comment about how 'she' is the earth, he may be extending this metaphor to the entire earth, because we are born of the earth, but eventually it does 'eat us', it kills us and reabsorbs us.

I think this song is about the earth and the ocean. He's talking about how ancient she is. 'She' is Earth. 'Know what it is to grow/ beneath her sky, her punishing cold' I think he literally means the sky of the Earth. You literally grow up and live your whole life on her. When he says she 'married' the bog man, she means he claimed him/killed him. He has said he was influenced by Seamus Heaney, especially one of his poems where he talks about 'bog bodies', which are dead bodies that have been preserved and mummified in a bog. In one of Heaney's poems, The Tollund Man, he even describes the bog man as 'bridegroom to the goddess'. In another one called The Grauballe Man, which Hozier specifically references in one of his interviews, Heaney said he had a 'twisted face'. So she 'twisted' him after she 'married' him. 'But in all the world, there is one lover worth of her/ with as many souls claimed as she' I think it's the ocean and this is why. Both the earth and the ocean have claimed many souls. 'Rushing ashore to meet her' (the tide), 'foaming with loneliness' (seafoam), 'white hands to fondle and beat her' (the whitecaps crashing against the shore or against cliffs and it erodes them ever so softly, bit by bit). 'But for all he's worth/he still shatters always on her earth/the cause of every tear she'd ever weep'. This makes sense if 'he' if the ocean, or more accurately, all of earth's water, because he literally is the tears she weeps, and he's always splattering all over her, rain and such.

absolutely beautiful. Haunting, but beautiful.

Hozier fails, yet again...to make a bad song. This is an "extra" or "bonus" song!? Christ!I'm pretty sure the "he" in the song is the sea. But who is she? Earth or Winter are my best guesses at the moment.
