a lesbian icon and the only man this lesbian will ever have a crush on

I don’t care how long this song has been out. It’s been my favorite since the beginning, and it’ll be my favorite until the end of time.

Holy crap this performance is so good

"We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson, raise 'em on rhythm and Blues" sure forest king hit me up and we'll raise some children named jackie and wilson

The sound would be sharper if he used a pick. Probably not what he's going for, but I would prefer it.

2:55 had me dead that lil laugh

That bass lick at 1:41 😍

He better name his kids Jackie and Wilson...

He is singing poetry.

His falsetto is lovely

He looks so good in this video. Man bun + sweater + rolled up sleeves <3

Can we recognize the background vocalists from like 2:40 - 2:52 especially at 2:48

omg I love this so much! ❤️

2:35 <3

This is seriously his sexiest performance I’ve seen so far. He’s really into the music and damn if he isn’t making love to that guitar and microphone...

Love!! I actually posted a cover of this song and would love it if you checked it out. Thanks;)

Jesus christ I just recently accidentally heard this song after listening to "Take Me to Church," and I am absolutely enamored by it. I knew this guy was an amazing musician I just never bothered to dive deeper in his material. I too will one day raise my children on rhythm and blues!

he deserves so much more recognition ❤

JACKIE AND WILSON So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight So deep in this swill with the most familiar of swine For reasons wretched and divine She blows outta nowhere, roman candle of the wild Laughing away through my feeble disguise No other version of me I would rather be tonight And, Lord, she found me just in time 'Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done I need to be youthfully felt 'cause, God, I never felt young She's gonna save me Call me "baby" Run her hands through my hair She'll know me crazy Soothe me daily Better yet she wouldn't care We'll steal her Lexus Be detectives Ride 'round picking up clues We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson Raise 'em on rhythm and blues Lord, it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside Sit back and watch the world go by Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust We tried the world, good God, it wasn't for us She's gonna save me Call me "baby" Run her hands through my hair She'll know me crazy Soothe me daily Better yet she wouldn't care We'll steal her Lexus Be detectives Ride 'round picking up clues We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson Raise 'em on rhythm and blues Cut clean from the dream at night let my mind reset Looking up from a cigarette, and she's already left I start digging up the yard for what's left of me and our little vignette For whatever poor soul is coming next She's gonna save me Call me "baby" Run her hands through my hair She'll know me crazy Soothe me daily Better yet she wouldn't care We'll steal her Lexus Be detectives Ride 'round picking up clues We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson Raise 'em on rhythm and blues

Is he drunk ? Or maybe just unusually happy ?

he's Irish :)

i kinda like that this song is so underrated. it feels my own little secret and i love it ☺️

hoziers voice is great this song is amazing

This song makes me sooooo happy omg hozier ily

Background singers weren't great

They chose the least enthusiastic back up singer to focus on

You will [a]lw[a]ys be pa[r]t of me, always l[o]ve You. From a dista[n]ce, you're with me. ❤

很嗨喔，猴仔

Feeling good~high

ฟังเพลงนี้แล้วเงี่ยนเลย

he's so amazing

Dat bass line tho

He made me so mad, I love him so much

God yes!

His live performances are amazing!! 😃

I don't know why, but I'm totally getting a momma-boy vibe from him

I hope he is, I'd love him even more for it.

If you mean what I think you mean (momma’s boy???), watch his video regarding his new album cover, he and Mrs. Raine are so adorable

This is the only artist who sings waaay better live! in the band category, would say greenday and mychem :)

james arthur says hi

Would be inclined to agree

Omg i love his sweater! Anyone know where you can get something like that that?

holy shit that man's falsetto is heavenly.

dude you like hozier and the paper kites! i am so glad to meet people with such a great taste in music!

his guitar is a gretsch model?

Is this reffering to Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson in "Shanghai Noon" ?

haha That made me snort.

Ivan Gn. I'm think he's talking about the R&B artist Jackie Wilson

Literally burst out laughing. You made my day, Sir.

love your jumper...did ya get that in dunnes stores :)

an angel

I die when he giggles at 2:54 😍😍😍

yellowprettybird same

especially when you see why he laughs haha the musician gives him a funny eyebrow raise haha

his lyrics reminds sting's that to me. i think he is one of the best who got a person that literary attainments in our generation.

Best lyricist in the music industry today.

Definitely one of the best without question

❤❤❤

damnnnnnnnn. 😭 He's too goood it's crazy 😭

God Bless

i missed the: "tick tick tick" at the start

Ik soms ook schatje

The beginning of the song was a little rough for his voice it seems. He was cracking a lot. This recording is a really fun one though. Throughout the song you can see him being silly and fooling around a lot. Cracks me up every time. Love seeing such a talented musician having such a good time.

so proud of my son :')

So much perfection bundled up in a human being ... 😍

WHY DOESN'T THIS HAVE MORE VIEWS SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS NONSENSE

fcking great

Most singers when they are singing live sound like absolute shite but with Hozier I can't tell the difference😘😘

Hozier ❤

he is extremly awesome.just perfect

I went to his Istanbul show. That was amazing

he's so talented and underrated, it's unreal.

+Sadie Clark he's not really underrated, everyone knows about him from Take Me To Church. But yeah, with his talent and amazing lines you'd expect him to do better than some other trash singers.

Don't know if he's that underrated for his song Take Me To Church shot to number one also he was one of the headliners at Coachella couple years ago

Proud to be Irish!

Excellent this song

Te amo bebe

Oh Lawd

Hozier fan for life -.need new album 😁

I love this song!!

So different from Hozier's usual stuff. LOVE IT though ❤️

Anyone know when he's coming to Toronto?

i honestly could not be more obsessed

the thumbnail tho 😂😂

his sweater it's really cute

yeah but this was back in April, I don't know if you'd call spring sweater weather

+Shawn Smith the live lounge was in december 2015, but re-uploaded on YouTube in April. It was his 'Christmas jumper'

+D Vvdl it was a reference 😂😂
