Porn Break: Hozier – Take Me To Church
Hoziers’ classic “Take Me to Church” is as relevant now, perhaps more so, than when it was originally released over 10 years ago. Rich with metaphors about love, spiritual experience, falling in love and physical intimacy — contrasting devotion, frustration and disillusionment at governments and laws that use sexuality to mobilize hate and bigotry.
The song acknowledges the powerful and natural aspect of sex, contrasting it with establishment attempts to undermine this natural human experience by teaching shame about sexual orientation. The video further amplifies the song’s message by depicting the persecution of a gay couple, highlighting the real-life struggles faced by LGBTQ+ individuals due to prejudice, while Hozier emphasizes that the song is not an attack on faith itself, but rather an assertion of self and a reclaiming of humanity through love.
