A COVER BY @BOBBYDONES || SONG TAKE ME TO CHURCH BY HOZIER

Hey there hive music, bobbydones here...

It's been quite a long time since I showed up here, happy to be back again.

I've got a new one for you all, today I will be presenting a cover of mine, the original song is by HOZIER titled TAKE ME TO CHURCH. It's a beautiful song from way back (2015), got nominated for different awards and did win a few.

I love the song so much for different reasons. I love the pace, love the energy, and of course hozier's sweet tone, I'm not a big fan of rock music but this particular one hits differently. The bridge for me is the part that I love the most because of the drastic fall of the energy level, the emotions with which he related those lines and of course, the words were the biggest highlight of the song for me.

Recording this cover was a bundle of stress for me, I had to retake the record like a million times (that's an exaggeration though), and there were so many disturbances in my hostel (power inclusive) aside from the long day that I already had at school on this day. Forgive me if you notice any sort of glitch in my voice that is obviously from the fact that I've overworked It(remember I retook the record like a billion times), and then again I'm not a major vocalist. This is just a part of me sharing with you all how much I love music. I honestly hope you enjoy this video.

I'm apologizing ahead of the glitch you might see in this video.

I'd love to see @mipiano @olujay @starstrings01 @ksam @merit.ahama and so many others review this for me, it's been a while.

"Take Me To Church"

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 getting 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
Aaay. Amen. Amen. Amen

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 that deathless death
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 that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

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 something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine-looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful

That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work

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
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
Good God, let me give you my life

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
Ooh oh. Amen. Amen. Amen

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 that deathless death
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 that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
