hi i’m seeing no one talk about this cover??? this is HAUNTING, it’s dedicated it to everyone who’s died from the coronavirus so far especially healthcare staff i just,,,

Hozier singing trad song “The Parting Glass”

Other celebrities: (goopily drip upon, of all things, “imagine”)

Us: (call for the guillotine)

Hozier: (a bittersweet lad, sings an ancient song to the departed)

Us: play this over silent, crisply shot black and white footage of the empty streets and silent landmarks. cut with shots of our drowning hospitals. An acceptable future documentary of 2020 that we will allow.

My audio processing isnt working in the brain. Can someone PLEASE tell me what the crud he’s saying because all i can make out are sounds not words

Saw your post while skimming through the reblog and did not see an answer, so for accessibility!  Hozier is singing the following:

Of all the money that e’er I had / I spend it in good company

And of all the harm that e’er I done / Alas it was to none but me

For all I’ve done for want of wit / to memory now I can’t recall

So fill to me the parting glass / good night and joy be with you all.


Of all the comrades that e’er I had / they’re sorry for my going away

And of all the sweethearts that e’er I had / they’d wish me one more day to stay

But as it falls unto my lot / that I must go and you must not

I’ll gently rise and I’ll softly call / good night and joy be with you all.

I’ll gently rise and

I’ll softly call / good night and

joy be with you all.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
