"'Take Me to Church' is a song by Irish recording artist Hozier, released as a single in 2013.
Lyrically, 'Take Me to Church' is a metaphor, with the protagonist comparing his lover to religion.
In an interview with The Irish Times, Hozier stated, 'I found the experience of falling in love or being in love was a death, a death of everything. You kind of watch yourself die in a wonderful way, and you experience for the briefest moment–if you see yourself for a moment through their eyes–everything you believed about yourself gone. In a death-and-rebirth sense.'
The song pays tribute to the late New Atheist author Christopher Hitchens, with the line 'I was born sick; command me to be well'.
The music video for 'Take Me to Church' was directed by Brendan Canty. Hozier stated, 'The song was always about humanity at its most natural, and how that is undermined ceaselessly by religious [organizations] and those who would have us believe they act in its interests. What has been seen growing in Russia is no less than nightmarish, I proposed bringing these themes into the story and Brendan liked the idea.'"- Wikipedia
