Ever since I first heard “Take Me to Church” by Hozier the lyrics and the sexy, haunting melody have been stuck in my head. According to Pinterest, I’m not the only one. Many people are loving the song and its handsome messenger.
Seldom do I look up musicians on Google, but after watching a clip of Annie Lennox performing with Hozier on the recent Grammy broadcast I googled him. According to Wikipedia,
Andrew Hozier-Byrne (born 17 March 1990),[1] known mononymously as Hozier, is an Irish musician and singer-songwriter from Bray, County Wicklow.[2] In 2013, he released his debut EP, featuring the hit single “Take Me to Church”, and his second EP From Eden in 2014. His debut studio album, Hozier, was released in Ireland in September 2014 and globally in October 2014.
I hope he is more than a one-hit wonder. Only time will tell, but I’d sure appreciate it if I could get this song out of its continual loop through my mind. In the meantime, take me to church. Please.


I HATED this song the first time I heard it, but within 2 days I couldn’t stop singing it. And now it’s in my head again. Darn you, Eyebrowz! 🙂

So fun that I came to this post right when the song ended on my iTunes playlist. The album is wonderful, there are many gems in there. So definitely more than a one-hit wonder.

I know the only way to get it out of your head is to dump it into someone else’s, but I’m not hitting that play button! Someone will eventually, but not me. In the meantime, you might try reciting the multiplication tables silently to drown it out.
