Domhnall Gleeson stars as multiple versions of the same blood-splattered, shovel-wielding man — some of whom are out for murder — in Hozier's 'De Selby (Part 2)' music video.
's new single, "De Selby ." In the black-and-white visual, Gleeson wakes up in a field only to discover another version of himself, whom he promptly strikes over the head and then buries alive. With each death, Gleeson finds himself back in the field once again.
But there's a method to Gleeson's madness — at least, according to Hozier. Speaking with EW, the Irish singer-songwriter revealed that the funky track itself "reflects on this darkness where you can't see where one person begins or where the other person ends." "It moves into the romantic space where, along that thinking, you feel part of the same whole," he continued. "It's like that [Pablo] Neruda poem where it's like, 'So close that your hand on my chest is my hand / So close that your eyes close when I fall asleep.'"
In that sense, the Gleesons are all individual parts of the same person. They also appear to each have their own unique mannerisms and interests throughout the video: while some are out murdering one another, others are happy to just have a pint of beer, perform comedic routines with their shovel, and dance in empty fields. | Credit: Hozier/YouTube, which hits shelves on Friday.
