Lyrics
It can’t be said I’m an early bird
It’s ten o’clock before I say a word
Baby, I can never tell
How do you sleep so well
You keep telling me to live right
To go to bed before daylight
But then you wake up for the sunrise
You know you don’t gotta pretend
Baby, now and then
Don’t you just wanna wake up
Dark as a lake
Smelling like a bonfire
Lost in a haze
If you’re drunk on life, babe
I think it’s great
But while in this world
I think I’ll take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You’re too sweet for me
You’re too sweet for me
I take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You’re too sweet for me
You’re too sweet for me
I aim low
I aim true and the ground is where I go
I work late where I’m free from the phone
And the job gets done
But you worry some, I know
But who wants to live forever babe
You treat your mouth as if it’s heaven’s gate
The rest of you like you’re the TSA
I wish that I could go along
Babe, don’t get me wrong
You know you’re bright as the morning
As soft as the rain
Pretty as a vine
As sweet as a grape
If you can sit in a barrel
Maybe I’ll wait
Until that day
I’d rather take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You’re too sweet for me
You’re too sweet for me
I take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You’re too sweet for me
You’re too sweet for me
I take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You’re too sweet for me
You’re too sweet for me

#Hozier #TooSweet #UnheardEP
Only Hozier could write such a banger about not being a morning person
sounds like a black keys song
Hahaha it’s really a song about a new lover waking him up too early and chipper. And he’s like you’re great, you gotta go. And he goes back to sleep until 3 😂😂😂😂
@nataliaalfonso2662 what? The lyrics say "its 10'o click before I say a word" so he's up late in the morning. And when he talks about being up most of the night, he says "I'll take my whiskey neat, my coffee black and my bed at 3" as in goes to sleep at 3am. Not that he is in bed until 3.
@@moeb1us shit, that's true!
Oh you sweet summer child. Its about how to say goodbye without Lose my number and hate you too. Its you're too sweet for me. You have all these sweet attributes and I don't want to ruin you or interfere with your greatness.
I’m so obsessed with Too Sweet. It’s crazy this was his first #1 single. Hozier’s been so damn good for a decade now.
I was shocked bc Hozier puts out nothing but beautiful songs and bangers how was this his FIRST no.1. the only explanation I can see is that the momentum from unreal unearth pushed it up
Was Take me to church not no.1??
@@P0nyl0venope, it was #2
@@OsmarMezaLorente really? Huh surprising
My theory is that it's because he's a musical artist, not a pop singer. Pop songs get number ones, not great music.
I’m a 62 grandmother .. and this man rocks my world!
That is awesome 😎 ❤ 🎉
Me too, it`s so wonderful feel all with this spng and also the voice and video! with you I am 62 years old woman!
62 is the new 32
Im 65 and i just love his music ,come on the irish 🇮🇪🇮🇪
I love Hozier and I’m 62….too😜

Ty
Not every hero wears cape 😉 Thank you 😁😊
❤
Thank you for your contribution
There a very few things that make me happier than seeing Hozier and the band having a great time
I stroked my self reading this
Truly
Yes!! They look like they're having fun doing what they love. Great selection of clips to share with us. I always loved these types of videos and haven't seen one in this style for a long time. Love it!

This is the song you listen once and end up listening on repeat
Can't stop playing it!!
i once listened to this every day more than thrice for 2 weeks 😂
This song gives such old school vibes.
And the funny thing is, I told my girlfriend that they didn't make songs like back then anymore. Finally someone made it music nowadays sucks so much but this is good
No it doesn't lol
You just know the people in the audience who made it into this video are having the time of their life right now 😌
i’m just trying to find myself and it’s not working 🥲
The close up of the girls singing you’re too sweet for me, I’m one of them and I have in fact passed away 😭
@@selenageorge4859 YIPPEE! What an experience that must have been 😄
@selenageorge4859 worth it. 😅
The perfect mix of "OMG THAT'S ME!" and "NOO! WHY DO I LOOK LIKE THAT" i bet lmao
I am a total metal/punk chick. I took my daughter to a Hozier show for her birthday and I gotta say...his vibe got me. I love this guy's music.
My mom is also a metal/puck chick and is coming with me to a Hozier show hope she feels this way too in the end!
I'm also a metal fan who recently got into Hozier, dude is really good.
Actually this song is rockish
Shall I say that he is not too sweet for us metalheads?... Sorry, I will see my way out.
This is a metal song at its core, just softened in style. Pumping baseline, deeper structure. Expect Leo Moracchioli to create a metal cover of this really soon and prove this comment as correct - and it will be awesome
honestly, the last song I know from Hozier is only 'Take Me to Church' but now this is another banger from them.
THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN HIS GROUP/BACKGROUND THIS MAN IS A LEGEND! LETS NOT EVEN TALK ABT THE VOCALS I'LL SOB
Im already one wine in what’s happening
I'll take my whiskey neat
@@janu3d me too if whiskey was cheap as wine is bebe
@@janu3dmy coffe black
Haha I’m good I don’t drink just saying
Btw come back to Poland bestie plz
Listening to Hozier is such a magical experience
facts
The best rejection ive heard in my life
To those who's here.... congrats 🎉 you have a great music taste..
We do!!😂
Hozier is one of the rare musicians who sounds better live than on his studio recordings. The albums are great but nothing beats hearing his beautiful voice and band with your whole body and soul. Cant wait to see him again in the future!! ❤❤ Love from Oregon
Yes!!! That's exactly what I tell everyone. I've seen him live twice now, and both times have been absolutely 💯 AMAZING! Third time's coming up in a few short months 😊
@@msglamour1498 hell yeah!! I only saw him once back in 2018 for Wasteland Baby but i will remember it forever. An absolutely gorgeous concert! I hope i get the change to see him again and many more times in the future!
Yes he does, the experience is absolutely magical, I saw him 2 days ago and I still think about it at least 10 times a minute
First time getting to see him live tomorrow! I was already excited, this comment just helps.
@@jackochilli I’m so excited for you!! Enjoy the beautiful experience
Love how most of the crowd isn’t pointing up a phone recording it, instead they are just singing and vibing and is in the moment. Definitely the kind of audience Hozier deserves ❤
underrated observation
there were def a lot of phones at the concert but i (as i think most people did) tended to bring their phone out and put it away again, only recording certain moments they REALLY wanted to hold onto. and about half didnt record much at all!
No sexual content, No drugs, No money flexing, No Cussing, No hate at all, No bad comments on this song, and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS SONG! Absolute banger bro I swear!
A true piece of craftsmanship in song writing , gets the message across with clean crisp flowing melody.
alcohol is a drug i don’t support drinking at all
Admirable , I'm similar I don't drink or smoke either ( too many friends and family lost ) but the construct of the song is what I was mentioning, it's a lost art to tell a story without being tawdry .. and it can be a insight to the teller and audience about drinking/ night life.
@@garycorbin2789 I am very sorry for your losses. 🙏
Wow you sound like an extremely unfun, judgey prick. Just enjoy the song, don't make into a virtue
Expect a Grammy Nomination for this song and be a winner
The fact that this video celebrates the WHOLE TEAM for "Too Sweet" being a chart topper is so fucking wonderful
😂
“You treat your mouth as if it’s Heaven’s gate” 👏🏻🔥🎵
"The rest of you like you're the TSA" 🎵
Someone please explain this line...💕😉
I don't know probably means that anything that comes out of their mouth is the ultimate Or probably as her mouth or she is not available to everyone like yk how heavens gate isn't for everyone Only the mightest So like saying you are too precious to welcome someone like me
considering the rest of the lyrics describe a girl who's too sweet. i assume nothing bad passes her lips. she doesn't cuss, doesn't lie and is always polite. she also doesn't do drugs, alcohol... deadly weapons (stuff that wouldn't fly with the TSA)
@@silverdawn813 i can agree with this the most, she's as sweet as she sounds and she doesn't hurt you (with anything) ina sense... i like it and i do like sweets LOL
Best type of video. Authentic. Simple. Raw. Love it
Lord Jesus! Have MERCY! I am 73, and Hozier has me dancing like I am 20 again! 😂😂😂
with you there, well nearly I'm knockin 70! Hozier is Amazing!!!!! ❤
Aww? 🎉 🥰
Gather here if this song deserves a grammy❤😊
Yess🎉
👏 YAS 👏
A front row for record of the year
Absolutely.
IT SHOULD AND IT WOULD BE HOZIERS FIRST GRANMY!
I love that this video was so obviously shot while him and his band are out on the road and working late. Just like the narrator in the song, they have a hectic schedule, but they still get shit done. Also, I love that the audience gets to be featured. This song was a hit before the video dropped and you can see it in how quick the audience joins in and sings along.
Of all the artists in his genre nobody is even close lyrically, vocally, his guitar technique is second to none. It is a pleasure to listen to him and even better to see him perform live.
Whole heartedly agree, but yet to see Hozier Live though but certainly will do👍🏾
I'm crazy obsessed with this song!! Total fan now!!
Hello there Vicky nice meeting you here
Every time he sings “NEEEAEEEAT I get the chills 🥶🥶🥶
Same
his falsetto is indeed divine
💯 sameee 🎶🎶
Absolutely heavenly the way he hits those falsetto’s
among other things
This man is a fantastic ambassador for Ireland, I'm so proud of him 💚💚💚
I sure as hell want to visit because of Saoirse Ronan, Hozier, Cillian Murphy, Barry Keoghan, Colin Farrell, and more. Just a hub of talented artists.
I was in the crowd for one of these concerts so technically I’m telling myself I’m in this music video ❤😂 Love you Hozier and amazed with you always
been listening to this song for the past couple weeks, and it just never gets old. hozier, you've done it again.
I love how happy everyone is!
The bassline of this song 🔥
yes taht bass souns ... ohh!
I agree the Bass shines... love everything about this song
no airs and graces with this guy..whole video about his band and his fans..what an example !
This song is so addictive. He's so talented.
I want to experience the magic so badd, I swear I will go to one of Hozier's concerts one day
They are amazing. ❤️
@deshoba, SAME!
Unreal Unearth Unheard Unmatched!
Hozier dun took off HAM ON THIS RIGHT HERE! a u t h e n t I c v i e w s dun took his career off 2 the next level fr fr no cap
It's really amazing that this film honors the entire team for "Too Sweet" being a chart-topper.
hoziers music is a genre of its own
The art that becomes a genre of its own will be called Cowboy Bebop
Got to take my oldest girl to see him in Southaven, MS. It was a great show. She loved it. I just sent her some screen shots showing we were kinda in the official video. Atleast the venue we were at. Also she graduated community college today and high school on the 18th of this month. Yall give her a thumbs up. Love you Lurah, so proud of you... Love dad.
Best of luck for the future!
Way to go lurah 🎉
Congratulations Lurah!! All the best for your future!! 🎉
hi from Mississippi!
You're too sweet for us! 🤩
O'lord almighty surrounded by the bells in that empty place, the curse is now broken! My new fav!
crawling out of the grave i buried myself in after unheard came out , , i’ve arisen from my shock induced slumber for this ( it’s going to be divine )
This song has a beautiful sound to it! I love the church bells.
The most beautiful song so far in 2024! This song will be played for many years to come. Well Done! Hugs from NZ
This is hands down the best new song right now. As someone who works nights, I ESPECIALLY appreciate it
I have never been so sad that I wasn’t able to get tickets to the nearest show.
where you at?
He never disappoints! Don’t give up!
If the show hasn’t already happened, you might to able to snag some last minute!
His voice melts my soul in the best way possible
Some of these shots were from Tampa Florida and I was there. It was sold out and such an amazing night. Hozier was feeling under the weather but didn't let that slow him down one bit. Best concert ever!
I really love this song, you know when it's really unnerving that some people want you to believe that their way of living their life is better than yours. They reject you because they think you're too messed up for their perfect life. Most people are living to plainly survive, and that's okay.
I had the chance to see you two days ago in Orlando. Thank you for bringing me more years of life and happiness, you reset everything for me. Your voice healed my troubles, my anxiety, my torment! Listening to you felt like what it would feel like to reach heaven; it was the most incredible experience of my life. Thank you for everything, Hozier. Thank you for your music. Thank you for transmitting peace and love in all your songs. You've left a mark on the world! Thank you!
Hozier can make living a life full of vice sound like the life you should be living. This man breaks as many hearts as his has been broken, and you can feel it in this song.
He's like the ambassador for living deliciously 😅
I can't get this song out of my head. Love Hozier
Hozier dropping a upbeat banger is a gift of the music gods to humankind.
I've been a fan of Hozier for almost 5 years now...and I still haven't gone to any of his concerts. Why? Because that's the consequences of living in South Africa. 😢 But I'll forever remain a fan.
Same! A Hozier concert is on number 1 on my bucket list!
Me from India man, same
Same. None of the artists I actually like comes to Cyprus🥲
I can tell that a lot of the clips were from the first performance of "Too Sweet" at the Walnut Creek show in Raleigh. The covered area gives it away. As someone who got to see it live, that's pretty cool to see.
such an attractive song and overall vibe omg
He's real I swear to God. He is here to stay.
The vibes of this group are immaculate
must be nice to have the sweetest band AND the sweetest crowds
Such a banger. This song has been inside my brain ever since it got released.
I feel so absolutely lucky that i got to be at the show where this was played live for the first time. It was one of the most special moments of my life being in a crowd that felt so unified and connected over their love for this song. So deserving of number 1!
About to witness greatness

This is one of the most basic music video I've ever seen. I love the song but there are some incredibly original and beautiful music videos, this is just their preparation and playing of this song. Giving it too much credit if you ask me.
Baby boy looks hella beautiful 😍
ALWAYS!!! 🥰
Honestly hozier is just poetic❤️
Hozier always delivers.
can a man be this beautiful.
Hozier's music gives me a new personality each song i listen
I love how this is the song that gets him his #1, but the video is a ballad to his band mates. He dedicated this visual rendition of a beautiful song to his team. Uh. What a god.
I saw him Saratoga 2 days ago I never seen he concert irl but I realized that hozier sounds the EXACT SAME during his concert this is how you know he’s a true singer.
I was at the Raleigh show and he told us that we were the first crowd to hear "Too Sweet" live. Can't beat enjoying a first with one of your favorite artists🤩
is there anyone in here that went to one of his shows and is now forever a part of this beautiful video??? i wanna know what it's like to be god's favourite child 😭😭😭
ME!! I was one of the girls in the close up at the gate singing “you’re too sweet for me” 😭 I’m actually deceased now
@selenageorge4859omg gurl you won the life lottery 🤧
@@selenageorge4859 pleaseee drop the timestamp we wanna seeee 😭
This is such a lovely video! I was feeling so detatched from my humanity and my feeling of belonging amongst mankind, and this restored it! What wonderful things this song, this man and this group of friends he has are! God bless!
The vibes of this group are immaculate bout' Hozier writing a banger bout not being a mornin person
This song is so addictive, the guitar scratches the music itches in my adhd brain so well
👀 finally king, we've been waiting for this 🤎
Hozier has 2 types of videos to the songs - either a meaningful aesthetically pleasing and intricate cinematic experience which provides a new layer of depth to the song's lyrics and vibe OR the one where he and people around him are vibing together. Both are gorgeous choices and we could watch both of them forever!
I am a huge fan - you can’t get better than Hozier’s lyrics - production and of course his vocals!!!
Hozier’s fits are always such a mood
Listening to Hozier is like a spiritual experience I wish upon everyone
How many times have guys left me because they thought I was too pure or whatever for them? 45 years of them, that's how many.
I'm obsessed with this song ❤️
Bro did not have to make this song slap so hard, I can’t stop replaying it!
I'm so happy my dad actually likes this song because he is so picky and only ever listens to heavy metal. I was literally jumping up and down when he started subtly tapping his finger and head bopping (a huge sign of reluctant approval).
That's why I love poetry ! only few people will understand the lyrics, but DAMN it's so givinnnnnngggggg!!!!!!!! Love you Hozier
I can't stop watching this hozier is toooo handsome 😢
Officially requesting First Light on the 25th's setlist!!🌄🤞🏽
I have never, ever heard a Hozier song I didn't like.
I have this song on repeat! ✌️
Love you Hozier
This song is for all the night owls 🦉😂
hozier the only typa guy to write a song about not being a early bird
What a tune. proper music......
beautiful song sung by a beautiful man Hozier
this whole video has ridiculously good vibes. edit: I have watched this an unhealthy amount.
In a world of music where everything is almost digitally produced in its entirety, Hozier giving that organic bass line the priority it deserves has to be one of the most sonically intricate songs to top the American charts lately. He just had the terrible luck of having released his EP when Taylor was around with other project
We'll be lucky to get hozier back home with that reception 😅
The bass is just too good
