• Notes: This is the debut single by the Irish singer-songwriter Andrew Hozier-Byrne, known as Hozier. It was released in September 2013 and became 2014’s most-streamed track globally on Spotify – over 87 million times.
• The song attracted attention after the release of its music video, which criticizes Russia’s anti-LGBT policy. Hozier told Billboard magazine: “Growing up in Ireland, the church is always there – the hypocrisy, the political cowardice. The video has the same theme [as the song] – an organization that undermines humanity.”
