Hozier Still Wants You to ‘Be As You’ve Always Been’ Only a Little Quieter This Time
Hozier has reissued 'Wasteland, Baby!' on vinyl with bonus tracks, including "Be (Acoustic)."
On “Be (Acoustic),” Mr. Hozier-Byrne strips away the original’s snaky funk bass and dials back his own tumult for a gentler interpretation of the lyrics, “Be, be as you’ve always been.” It’s a different state of being, one with more hope. The track is one of five bonus cuts on the fifth-anniversary vinyl edition of Wasteland, Baby!, which will come out as an Amazon exclusive on April 19. a mostly positive review(noting the looming success of “Take Me to Church” over some of the songs) but acknowledging how Hozier has changed since his 2014 debut.
