This is super subjective, but many folks consider 'Take Me to Church' to be his most iconic song. Personally, I also love 'Cherry Wine' – it's just so beautifully raw and emotional.
Yes! While Hozier is known for his moody, soulful tunes, he does have some more upbeat tracks like 'Someone New' and 'Jackie and Wilson.' They're perfect for lifting your spirits.

3. Work Song
'Work Song' is all about the power of love and how nothing can keep two people, who belong together, apart. My favorite lyric from it (and maybe of all time) is, "My baby's sweet as can be. She gives me toothaches just from kissing me!"
This song doesn't just charm you with its bluesy riffs; it also possesses a romantic gravity that is simply soul-stirring. Hozier showcases his ability to blend raw emotion with poetic lyrics seamlessly. It's one of those tracks that you can't help but sway along to, and before you know it, you're humming the tune for days on end.

4. Like Real People do
I'm pretty sure this is one of the sweetest songs I've heard. The lyrics include, "Honey, just put your sweet lips on my lips... we should just kiss like real people do." The sweet melody and lyrics definitely make it one of my favorites from his album.
5. Cherry Wine (live)
I honestly can't even count how many times I've watched this video. It's THAT good! Hozier's angelic voice makes it impossible to even consider listening to something else. I'm a sucker for live versions (just because I think you get a better idea of the musician as an artist) and I was so happy to know that this live version is included in Hozier's album. If you're looking for a repeat-worthy song to listen to every night before going to sleep, this is it.
6. From Eden
'From Eden' is another great track off of Hozier's album. The lyrics include, "Babe, there's something tragic about you; something magic about you. There's something lonesome about you; something so wholesome about you." I'm pretty sure you'll be just as obsessed with this live performance as I am!
7. Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene
If you keep up with Saturday Night Live, you probably watched (and swooned over) Hozier's performance last month. He's got some seriously awesome style and is pretty unbelievable when it comes to his guitar skills. I still can't get over the fact that he sounds just as good live as he does in the studio versions of his songs.
Well, there you have it. These are just seven out of many incredibly beautiful and powerful songs from Hozier that are sure to turn you into a fan.
