What take me to church wants to express is the most natural side of human nature. I hope people believe that Love is love and that everything should return to nature and not make simple things so complicated.

"Take Me To Church" is a dark and melancholy meditation on sex, a song that mixes elements of blues, chorus and modern Indian folk. ?

Hozier expresses complex emotions sincerely, which is one of his great charms. The song is heavily influenced by its melody and some weird stuff.

The naked "noise" is sung in a special way by the Irish artist, Hozier relies on his voice and guitar playing to forget about himself, but he needs to. Hozier added many gospel elements to make this blues song easily identifiable.

The creative background of "take me to church"

He wrote this song after a bad breakup. In 2013, Hozier was still a very depressed musician who often performed on the streets of Dublin at night. During this period, he wrote "Take Me To Church" at his parents' home and recorded a rough demo in their attic.

The song's demo attracted the attention of independent record label Rubyworks, who introduced it to music producer Rob Kirwan. Rob Kirwan found the song's sound powerful and helped Hozier record it.

As for the explanation of the lyrics of this song, Hozier said: "I find that falling in love with someone feels like death, a feeling of everything dying. It's like you look at yourself in a decent way To die, you experience for the briefest moment - seeing yourself through someone else's eyes - a scene of death and rebirth in which everything you once believed has faded." So he composed this song.
