People who follow me in other parts of the internet likely know that I am a huge fan of Hozier, an Irish musician whose very first single was Take Me To Church. The song was a huge hit becoming one of the first songs to hit one billion streams on Spotify. He followed I up with one of my favorite albums — Wasteland, Baby.
I’ve rarely heard him talk about his art, but listening to his music, I can tell he takes this stuff seriously. He touches on a lot of themes in his music and sings with an appealing passion. I saw him live in September 2019 at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento. The auditorium is a historic place that only seats a few thousand people. Hozier is now performing in much larger arenas.
Anyway, that’s the back story to why I’m sharing this video. A friend shared this with me a few days ago and I listened to it while I weeded the front yard yesterday. There are a lot of things in here that I think creative people deal with, but that a lot of us don’t necessarily talk about.
I share it here … just because. I found it interesting and refreshing to hear that a man who has achieved such monumental success in such a short time struggles with many of the same things I do.
