The song was played live first September 4th, 2018 at a rehearsal show in Dublin, Ireland.
It is confirmed to be on the sophomore album, which is expected to arrive early 2019.
All fans attending the show respected Hozier’s wish and did not record any audio. Later on Hozier reportedly didn’t mind f...
[Verse 1]
I still watch you when you're groovin'
As if through water from the bottom of a pool
You're movin' without movin'
And when you move, I'm moved
You are a call to motion
There, all of you, a verb in perfect view
Like Jonah on the ocean
When you move, I'm moved
[Pre-Chorus]
When you move
I'm put to mind of all that I wanna be
When you move
I could never define all that you are to me
[Chorus]
So move me, baby
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
You do it naturally
Move me, baby
[Verse 2]
You are the rite of movement
Its reasonin' made lucid and cool
And though it's no improvement
When you move, I move
You're less Polunin leapin'
Or Fred Astaire in sequins
Honey, you, you're Atlas in his sleepin'
And when you move, I'm moved
[Pre-Chorus]
When you move
I can recall somethin' that's gone from me
When you move
Honey, I'm put in awe of somethin' so flawed and free
[Chorus]
So move me, baby
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
You do it naturally
Move me, baby
So move me, baby
Like you've nothin' left to prove
And nothin' to lose
Move me, baby
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh baby, oh baby
Move like grey skies
Move like a bird of paradise
Move like an odd sight come out at night
[Chorus]
Move me, baby
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
You do it naturally
Move me, baby
So move me, baby
Like you've nothin' left to lose
And nothin' to prove
Move me, baby
So move me, baby
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
You do it naturally
Move me, baby
Movement was written by Hozier.
Movement was produced by Hozier & Markus Dravs.
Hozier explained in Hozier on Movement,
Rather than write a dance song, it’s much easier to write a song about dancing.
I don’t know if it was enjoyment of stuff like LCD sound system or whatever, maybe just allowing myself to enjoy the idea of movement. That’s kind of where the idea started at lea...
