He just has so much soul and intention in his melodies, and obviously his lyrics are so deep and personal and poetic. He really reminds me of a Jeff Buckley type.\u201d (Buckley\u2019s debut album had a cover of Leonard Cohen\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=y8AWFf7EAc4\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Hallelujah<\/a>\u201d and it was released as a single in 2007, ten years after Buckley\u2019s death in Memphis.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd (Hozier) was just a fan of my song \u2019The Bones,\u2019 and it felt like a really organic way to bring two artists together. His voice just fit so perfectly with the tone of that song and what it means,\u201d she said, adding that she feels lucky to have him be a part of that song.<\/p>\n<p>This may have been what sparked their mutual admiration for each other. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarenMorris?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MarenMorris<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VQ05TTT8GV\">pic.twitter.com\/VQ05TTT8GV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Hozier (@Hozier) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Hozier\/status\/1179471107729973248?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 2, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And while \u201cThe Bones\u201d is about a love that\u2019s as strong as the foundation it\u2019s built on, both Hozier and Morris had some early overnight success songs with their songs about church.
