13:39 it actually sounds so much better to me without the drums

8:31 this is such an unintentional power move on Todd, considering the fact that the Beast is known for being extremely preachy about who he is, and what he does 😭

Sounds like Sleep Token with all semblance of metal scrubbed away

What X Ambassadors' Renegades was for the mid 2010s, Ordinary is for the mid 2020s.

Only Todd Take that consistently does not align with his girls and gays audience is that he doesn’t rock with Hozier

I feel like people will hate on anything these days like chill buddy, if you don't like the music just say you don't like and move on, not everyone can be Ed Sheeran, David Kushner and it's alright , just enjoy music if don't then don't listen

I like that the song borrows from dorian mode a little though

I can't help but laugh every time I hear this song because of that one 9-1-1 trailer with the meteors

To be honest, Sam Smith at 80% speed still sounds better than whatever this shit is.

This song is (like you've mentioned) popular in the UK, but in fact, it's SO POPULAR here that I thought he was British.
Music here has become extremely shallow…

I have to protest Hozier's inclusion in the white boy oversinging club, his music is so much richer than either of those hits make it out to be! He's folk rock, heavily influenced by blues and soul, and his lyrics have so much depth to them. even he is baffled by how Take Me to Church got so big, and Too Sweet wasn't even on his latest album so idk where that came from.

So. Seemingly an unusual pov for this comment section… I was very aware of Alex Warren
But not for Ordinary. For Eternity, which I personally think is a _much better song_.
He also has not ever shown up on my internet as "wife guy" but as "orphan guy" because uh… Apparently half of his songs are dull love songs and the other half are him being sad about his dead parents… Maybe it's just because they're good songs for my OC's, but I like the other half of his songs much better 😂

I never clocked this as sounding like Christian music because while I've been to church quite a bit, I'm black and Southern Gospel is my reference for Christian music lol. I've only been to a white church once and probably heard music like this, I don't remember, and that was only because my mom and I were invited by our neighbors.
