Hello. Thanks for doing this AMA :) If it's not too much of a hassle, I was wondering if you could share some insight, or a very "long-story-short" version of your personal story/experiences behind "Like Real People Do" and "From Eden" ? Or just the first one, or any one of them…

u/hozier_official replied

There are two important influences to "Like Real People Do". One is Seamus Heaney's poems about bog people. The Grauballe Man would be an example and maybe something along the lines of "The Fisher Man And His Soul" by Oscar…

Hey Hozier Big fan! I am getting married a week from today (Holy shit) and will be walking down the isle to your song, "Like Real People Do". My question to you is, if or when you see yourself getting married what would be a must on the "Hozier wedding playlist"?

I think if I got married and the song "Sugar" by Stevie Wonder did not play at least a few times, the annulment would be issued post-haste.

Much love and best of luck!

I'm obsessed with your guitar 'Epi' (the Epiphone Broadway). I wanna get one like yours, but there aren't like that. (The colour) What did you do to it? Can you explain the story and if it is still with you? Thanks.

That was one of the first guitars I ever bought. After a long summer of working essentially as a janitor in a golf club. I saw it hanging in a store in Dublin so it was as it is. It was always black.
