I loved the "if you could sit in a barrel maybe i'll wait" part so much. If she could mature into a wine, bitter as he likes and meet him halfway as he waits for her, then it might work out. I just love the whole song in general. As a person relating to his lifestyle and aspiring to habe the girl's lifestyle this is so interesting
yessss. I'm glad you agree with me. it's a great song :))
Imature or just prefers whiskey. Both great but wine is too different from the what he wants.
Yeah same
I really like this analysis, thanks for helping me understand the song on a deeper level dude
thanks for being here
I always interpreted it as an older lover rejecting an inexperienced/young lover despite the young lover's magnetism.
righttttt. that's what I heard in the "sit in a barrel" line
Straight up man. That was my immediate take, in both age and views. A generational difference of 2 incompatible lovers, 2 very different view points.
I heard him explain the meaning of this song as about someone resisting sobriety…😉
interesting. that explains a lot of the song for sure
Slainte to that!
loved it mate, very easy to watch no dead spots in the vid
appreciate the love
wow, I love this song but the way you did this video was amazing. The instrumental in the back the way you say the verse and explain idk it was amazing. Great voice too, excited to hear you sing! You even ended the video the way he ends the song leaving us on the hook a bit. This is my first time seeing you but excited to see more of your content. Good luck on your journey!
It means 'too sweet to be wholesome' or 'too sweet to actually be sweet' ( a common saying in Ireland for when you see through fake sweetness / niceness). He has clarified it in an interview.
we are all in agreement here
He mentioned that was a saying, obvious top layer meaning with the phrase … which is the same as “sweet as a toothache” … but he *said* he wrote the song to reflect the gluttony of the record making process he was going through - so sounds opposite to the common meaning of the phrase - which makes this song ever more interesting… I love double, triple meanings, and he obviously is good at this kind of song writing
Love the painting man ❤
cheers

hmm yes
Do one on "Empire now"
this whole song makes me think of the term "bitter sweet/ bitter sweetness of life". Their love was not ideal. The contrast is underlined by his preferred drink and her being a sweet grape. Hozier's use of metaphor is exceptional.
Irish people are known for their sarcastic sense of humor, so when he sings "your too sweet for me" he's basically saying I can't stand you anymore.🤣☘
Everything related to his alcoholism hes saying he could get on with her if she was alcohol (the line about the barrel) also the whole drinking whisky neat until morning and sobering up with the strong black coffee hes refrencing being a functional alcoholic
The barrel thing means he needs her to ferment and sour a bit just like wine (ie. Losen up a bit) The song is after all named too sweet which i think means too uptight. I am a night owl myself with a pretty
similar life style. Was in a relatioship with someone who was exactly as the person described as too sweet for 4 years. It was unbearable.
yep you get it haha
I recently discovered your channel and I love your analysis, they seem very correct to me. I have no doubt that you will soon write your first hit. But... I must be honest with you, the first reason I watched one of your videos was because... well... you seemed like someone extremely beautiful❤... I hope you don't mind this compliment coming from a man😅.
Well Noon, continue as you are, you are very young and you will surely succeed.🤟🤘
wow. what a comment. thankyou so much. definitely don't mind the comment coming from a bloke. It's all love. thanks for being here

It means she loved him he had issues worked night shift she was holy and believed in god he loved the girl but she loved him more we were 4 years apart to go back I would try harder .
I would try everything but I couldn’t change him I guess I wasn’t worth it I guess I was never good enough
It sounds like it’s about a lady with kids probably named Chianti
For some reason, you sound like SunnyV2.
Dude it's an accent
Eventually the guy will get liver disease and dementia. The girl will age better and kive longer healthier life. While the guy will be paying hospital bills.
wrong.
He's gay mate. He won't be seeing a girl. It's a him...
Which source did he confirmed in?(Just curious)
who cares. The reason it’s a hit is because it’s a good song with a good chorus. The lyrics don’t make sense and they’re not that great
Yeah..like you can write a song with a catchy lyrics..😂
I think this guys just called his bluff 😅. Hozier never came out explaining it really 🤔
hmmmm
eve push us all to this grinding situation..
better vodka .. not her nor whiskas..
.
You’re too young to understand what they mean. Grow up first child.
who's they. hozier is one person
people may have experienced different things throughout their life. anyone could have experienced feelings spoken about in the song at any point in their life, from 18 to 118, and we shouldn't judge based on our age. who's to say the creator of this video hasn't experienced the very things hozier did, just at an earlier age.
