There's no denying that the music of Hozier is pretty hypnotizing. And now, the "Take Me to Church" singer has brought his magical musical powers into the music video for his new single "Work Song."
The clip begins just like any other, with Hozier performing to a packed crowd in a lush, abandoned venue. The bare bones stage, decorated just with his band and some candles, sets the stage for the stripped down yet touching music video.
Though the crowd at first feels fairly inattentive to Hozier's performance, soon the emotion of the track overcomes one couple, who begin a ballroom dance in the middle of the floor.
From there, the dancing spreads throughout the audience, with one couple after another joining in the choreographed movements.
As the dancing builds and spreads across the room, it just as quickly comes to an end, with just the original duo holding each other tight as the dripping of Hozier's guitar comes to an end.
Like Hozier's other music videos, "Work Song" distinguishes itself by being highly cinematic, adding to the artistry of concepts that could otherwise be too simple.
Watch the new music video for Hozier's "Work Song" below:
"Work Song" is the latest official single/music video from Hozier's debut album, fittingly titled Hozier. It follows the release and promotion of "Take Me to Church" (which peaked at No. 2 in the U.S.), "Arsonist's Lullaby," "From Eden," "Someone New" and "Sedated."
