Hi dear musical community! Here I am once again another week to participate in this great dynamic. This week the theme we had to work with was Folk and Symphonic metal, however I'm not that connect with this kind of genre. But since I want to participate this week, I chose one song that even when it is not metal, it is an indie rock that as metal makes heavy topics. This one I guess talk about something hard and even the original musical video is hard to see.
I chose Take me to Church by Hozier, which is a claim to the catholic church in a figurative way more specifically for its posture about homosexuality. In the official video, we can see how people abuse violentaly of a man because of his homosexuality. it is really hard to see because it evidenced how difficult could be the life of someone that feels different from majority.
I really love this song, it moves every fiber of my body! the rhythm and the nostalgic sound of the instruments take our souls to feel the sadness in this loud claim for acceptance. The first time I listened it I felt it in all my bones 'cause Hozier voice is full of nostalgic notes.
lyric
My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner
If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's gettin' more bleak
A fresh poison each week
We were born sick, you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
[Pre-Chorus]
A, amen
Amen, amen
[Chorus]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Oh, good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Oh, good God, let me give you my life

[Verse 2]
If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
Drain the whole sea, get somethin' shiny
Somethin' meaty for the main course
That's a fine lookin' high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starvin' faithful
That looks tasty, that looks plenty
This is hungry work
[Chorus]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Oh, good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Oh, good God, let me give you my life
[Bridge]
No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then, I am human, only then, I am clean
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, amen
Amen, amen
[Chorus]
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Oh, good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins, and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Oh, good God, let me give you my life
Finally, hope you enjoyed my performance! I know it wasn't perfect but I enjoyed it to do it a lot. I understand it is not under the topic of this week and I apologized for that but hope you forgive me.
Hope to see you here a next time! if you have heard this song before, let me know!

Hola querida comunidad musical! Aquí estoy una vez más una semana más para participar en esta gran dinámica. Esta semana el tema que nos tocó trabajar fue Folk y Metal Sinfónico, sin embargo no soy muy conectado con este tipo de género. Pero como quiero participar esta semana, elegí una canción que aunque no sea metal, es un indie rock que como metal hace temas pesados. Éste supongo que habla de algo difícil e incluso el video musical original es difícil de ver.
Elegí Llévame a la iglesia de Hozier, que es un reclamo a la iglesia católica de manera figurada más específicamente por su postura ante la homosexualidad. En el vídeo oficial podemos ver cómo la gente abusa violentamente de un hombre a causa de su homosexualidad. Es realmente difícil de ver porque evidencia lo difícil que puede ser la vida de alguien que se siente diferente a la mayoría.
Realmente amo esta canción, ¡mueve cada fibra de mi cuerpo! el ritmo y el sonido nostálgico de los instrumentos llevan a nuestras almas a sentir la tristeza en este fuerte reclamo de aceptación. La primera vez que lo escuché lo sentí en todos mis huesos porque la voz de Hozier está llena de notas nostálgicas.
