    The depth of this man, the introspection he does, the mesmerising way of stating it. His songs really are the "squeeze of a hand" when we need them most.

      Generally I am really into poetry , but there was a period when I was feeling overwhelmed and kind of anxious. I could not even write a proper word in the paper . When I listened to Hozier first time, his music healed me magically . I have to say that healing happens only when I listen to Hozier and Tamino. There is something poetic around them that inspires my soul deeply ...

    This song reaches beyond our home...earth..
    and his lullaby holds her in a love song,
    as she breaking apart into a wasteland from man's selfishness
    This melodic harmony trandsends space and time
    And embraces the earth mother
    as she shivers in her geo-global haloauste nakedness.
    Nature's ear hears the sweet and distant chord
    The sun, moon and stars smile on her sister again.

Was expecting to get front and center, but ran late due to my ride. I still had great view and he had the entire place singing and dancing, no one sat. I cried when it was over, and struggled with what emotions I was having??? I must and will see him live again. Only I will be early, or I'll pay for front row seats.

    Andrew made Obama's favorite songs list! Up there with Stevie Wonder, Etta James, et al. MoHozi's music is my "squeeze of the hand" and my "act of comfort". :) luv u!
