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.
