2. Authenticity is a really difficult thing to explain. Hozier is doing a grand job there and he’s a nice lad… it’s entirely devoid of the magic that something this by the Bothy Band has https://youtu.be/yLzC53qzeLs

3. Heard him sing this live. The 3 arena was dead silent for it. Magical.

4. No thanks

5. He’s no Tom Lenihan

6. Christ

7. Please, as a nation, we have suffered enough.

8. I think quite a few people find him very cringe and plastic (I like some of his music but this kind of stuff imo belongs on tiktok)

   Edit: Jesus lads. People can have opinions… the downvote button is to be used to express that views have gone off topic or the like. Not because I find him cringey.

9. He’s obviously been training in singing and you can hear it clearly in that, doesn’t suit it really.

10. Not my cup of tea personally.

11. How about about a petition to get him to shut up

12. I’ll sign a petition for him to never release music again.

13. No

14. Surprised nobody has posted this absolute gem of a version of this song, amazing video in its own right too

15. Why didn’t he sing this during his Tommy Tiernan interview!?

    Poor chap seemed to be a bag of nerves.

16. ugh. too clean

17. I heard him on blindboys podcast express interest in learning irish. I think it would be interesting to see what if any affect it would.have on his music.
