I love our next guest so much, and love
that he did this for us from his home in Ireland.
Please welcome the incredible Hozier.
Hey, Ellen.
It's Hozier here.
Thank you so much for having me on for a song.
I'm joining you from sunny Wicklow
in Ireland with Mr. Alex Ryan, my MD and band member.
And Hello to all your wonderful viewers.
I hope you're keeping safe.
Very much looking forward to seeing you again,
and being able to say hi in person.
In the meantime, stay safe and I'm gonna play you a song.
This is the title track from my last album.
It's a song called "Wasteland, Baby."
[MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) All the fear and the fire at the end of the world.
It happens each time a boy falls in love with a girl.
It happens great, it happens sweet,
happily, I'm unfazed here, too.
Wasteland, baby.
I'm in love, I'm in love with you.
And all the things yet to come are
the things that have passed.
Like the holding of hands, like the breaking of glass.
Like the bonfire that burned, that all words and the fight
fell to.
Wasteland, baby.
I'm in love, I'm in love with you.
And I love, too, that love soon might end,
and be known in its aching.
It's here in the shaking, lately, of my wasteland, baby.
Be still, my indelible friend.
You are unbreaking, though quaking, and though crazy.
That's just wasteland, baby.
And the day that we'll watch the death and the sun
to the cloud, and the cold, and those jeans you'll have on.
And you'll gaze unafraid as they sob from the city ruins.
Wasteland, baby.
I'm in love, I'm in love with you.
And I love, too, that love soon might end,
and be known in its aching.
It's here in the shaking, lately, of my wasteland, baby.
Be still, my indelible friend.
You are unbreaking, although quaking, and though crazy.
It's just wasteland, baby.
And the stench from the sea when the absence of green
are the death of all things that are seen and unseen.
Are an end, but the start of all things that are left to do.
Wasteland, baby.
I'm in love, I'm in love with you.
Thank you very much.
