Hozier - Take Me To Church

Directed by Brendan Canty of Feel Good Lost, Hozier says the video “references the recent increase of organized attacks and torturing of homosexuals in Russia, which is subsequent to a long, hateful, and oppressive political campaign against the LGBT community. The song was always about humanity at its most natural, and how that is undermined ceaselessly by religious organizations and those who would have us believe they act in its interests. What has been seen growing in Russia is no less than nightmarish, I proposed bringing these themes into the story and Brendan liked the idea.”

This is a beautiful, if not disturbing video well worth a watch.
