      @Cassie K that's true, although it's not just American shows that push that overly comical look. I completely agree and I hope this does inspire more producers. Obviously shows like this operate on money and sitting down to have a calm conversation isn't entertaining for everyone, but it'll be good to have a few exceptions like this.

      sui genereis it would probably be better to get rid of the audience altogether. The audience changes the dynamic of the interaction between the hosts and guest. It seems like they seek their approval and applause at times or that the audience wants something to applaud or laugh at and the hosts/guests are distracted in order to give it to them. To entertain the audience instead of just interviewing the guest I suppose is what I am getting at.

    Refreshing to watch an interview with an entertainer that is serious and thoughtful and the interviewer allows the guest to think and speak without interrupting to rush him or make a joke or change the subject. Clearly interesting to lots of fans as the way he was raised informs his songs and the choices he makes as an artist. Wish we had more of those shows on this side of the water in north America.

We all come together to join in the silence and wait for messages to be shared.
      Some weeks are hohum and others are quite beautiful and moving. But it’s always great to be together with Friends. If you’re interested, feel free to just show up at Meeting. Why not give it a try?

    He was lucky to be raised in the Quaker tradition, it probably helped to make him such a thoughtful, progressive person. Also, Quakers were the first, at least Christian sects, to believe women have the right to an education equal with men. Quakerism comes the closest to anything I would believe, but I'm not sure how well I would do with just sitting like they do during their meetings!

    • @LammasDeluge

      I have a lot of Quaker friends and I've always appreciated their open-minded nature and how they take time to listen to each other's thoughts and come to their own conclusions about the world. No doubt why they were abolitionists early on and supported gender equality even when it was not convenient or safe for them. I know that Quakers have always radically fought for justice no matter how hard it got. I have such an appreciation for them because I was raised Unitarian Universalist and UUs like to learn about other religions and philosophies, and each member of our churches is encouraged to search for their own meaning in the world and their own spiritual path. We each take inspiration from the belief systems and philosophies that ring true for us as individuals. I have UU friends who connect with both Buddhism and Wicca. There are atheists, including myself, who are humanists and find fulfillment in coming to our humanist groups or even just listening to the perspectives of others. And of course, people who connect most strongly to other belief systems like Christianity or Judaism. We, as people with varying beliefs, come together to learn from each other and experience the fulfillment of going to church, singing in the choir, sharing in a community, etc... without having to deal with the dogma and exclusion "us or them" politics we have found in so many churches, synagogues, mosques, etc... Which is not to say, that all religious communities are so narrowminded. I've definitely visited churches that fostered healthy communities and made me feel welcome despite my more agnostic mindset. It's just that it's been so difficult, especially in this time of division, to find a religious community that isn't pushing dogma. I am grateful for Quakers because they have, in my experience, always been welcoming and compassionate.

      There is a really great youtube channel called Quaker Speak that I recommend to anyone who would like to know more about Quakers, it is a very inclusive and diverse religion. And to address Flowerprincess's comment, the Quaker religion actually started as an offshoot from Christianity in the 17th century (Quakers have a very interesting history. They were viciously persecuted in England which led many Quakers to move to the American Colonies) and there are still Christian/evangelical Quakers (many are in Africa where they focus their missionary work). Unprogrammed Quakers are the non-evangelical sect which is what Hoziers parents are. :)

    As an Irish (lapsed) Catholic it’s so interesting to hear Hozier talk about a different religion that most people in Ireland know nothing about, fascinating. He is a deep person and makes me envious of his upbringing, lucky.

      I have the very same sentiments, coming from Ireland as well. It's super interesting. I remember from history class that the Quakers were among the most proactive in offering relief to the people of Ireland during the Famine, in the absence of state-sanctioned provisions from across the water, so it's certainly interesting to hear more about them and their pacifist ethos.

    There is a Quaker run place in Mexico City, part hotel where fees help Quakers help travelers in need, people needing a safe place. For example, a mom and her son coming from, I think Nicaragua, whew in a train accident and the son lost a foot. The Quakers gave them lodging, food, helped the husband travel to them and gave them the time and space to recover. Wonderful people.

    I had no idea he was raised Quaker. My family has been Quaker for around 4 generations now at least? Possibly more? The thing he said about there being 'Gods light' in us all is so accurate. It follows the idea that everyone has at least some light, some link to God or just good, no matter how difficult it may be to find. There's a further saying that is used when a member of a Quaker Meeting is going through something trying or very sick, we say that we are 'Holding them in the Light'. Essentially holding them in Gods Light within our thoughts. Love being a Quaker despite being either Pagan or agnostic in my own beliefs. The Uk Quakers at least seem to have become more of a way of life in my generation given that I know Quakers belonging to several different religions (Islam to name one) or no religious beliefs at all

    Additionally, Hozier's personification of Religion/Spirituality (the song Foreigner's God):
    She moved with shameless wonder
    The perfect creature rarely seen
    Since some liar brought the thunder
    When the land was godless and free
    Her eyes look sharp and steady
    Into the empty parts of me
    But still my heart is heavy
    With the hate of some other man's beliefs
    Always a well dressed fraud
    Who wouldn't spare the rod
    Never for me
    Wondering who I copy
    Mustering some tender charm
    She feels no control of her body
    She feels no safety in my arms
    I've no language left to say it
    But all I do is quake to her
    Breaking if I try convey it
    The broken love I make to her
    All that I've been taught
    And every word I've got
    Is foreign to me
    Screaming the name
    Of a foreigner's God
    The purest expression of grief

    As a child I attended a Quaker elementary school, although I went to a Lutheran church on Sundays. Not as a brag but as a true observation, I believe the best parts of myself come from going to a Quaker school when I was young. We had this acronym called S.P.I.C.E, which included simplicity, peace, integrity, community and equality. I find that my patience, my desire for equity, my environmental impact, my musicianship, and my communication skills all came from there. I am not very religious now, however Hozier’s description of being a “friend in Christ” is still accurate and resonates with me to this day. If I ever have children, I would like to raise them Quaker to some degree because I believe it creates the most genuine and kind people.
