As a follow~up to my post last week in Citizens Of Boomtown's brand new section BoomBox (created by Christine Marx) where I shared a song I'm COMPLETELY CRAZY ABOUT, "Too Sweet" by Hozier ~ today Hozier got word it just hit #1 in the USA, Australia,& New Zealand & is experiencing its 2nd week at #1 in the Ireland & the United Kingdom! That means you've probably heard it! Still I want to share this live performance ~ his first live performance of "Too Sweet" and also the very first night of his extensive US tour, which kicked off on Saturday in Raleigh, North Carolina. It has one of the greatest bass lines I've ever heard & one of my favorite sets of lyrics ~ he's a GREAT songwriter! My sister (Nikki of Bricky & Nikki's Coffee House ☕☕ ) and I are going to see Hozier for the second time, this year at Pilgrimage Festival in Franklin,TN, in September and we CAN'T WAIT! You can get a glimpse of why we were so impressed by him live by clicking on the link just below the photo up above. His entire band is one of the greatest I've ever heard! A touch that I love in this video is that you can see him draw a breath before he prepares to sing, fully taking in the significance of the moment because his biggest influences are black American artists and here he is right on the tip of going #1 in America and before an American audience for his first live performance of "Too Sweet".
Also significant is that "Too Sweet" hitting the top of the US charts today marks the first time an Irish artist has secured the #1 song in America since Sinéad O'Connor with "Nothing Compares 2 U" in 1990, the very year Hozier (Andrew John Hozier~Byrne) was born ~ and on St. Patrick's Day at that!
If you're not already starting every day dancing to this song in your kitchen like I am, I HIGHLY recommend it ~ you'll be happy all day!
