The extremely bumper 2016 Hot Press Annual is just hours away from hitting newsstands nationwide.Man of the Year honours go to Andrew Hozier-Byrne who one would hope is still celebrating ‘Take Me To Church’ picking up the BBC Song of the Year Award.
Talking to our man Olaf Tyaransen, the Bray singer tells us about a “kind of bluesy song” that’s likely to feature on his second album.
“It’s the story of a man who gets offered to trade places with the devil because the devil fancies his missus,” he reveals. “One of the verses is: ‘I’d walk on cloven hoof if you were the home I was walking to/ I’d burn every soul I knew/ If I thought the fire was warming you/ I’d be what men fear in the woods/ I’d piss on heaven’s gate if I could/ I’m straight on the level/ But I’d be the devil/ As long as your lovin’ was good.’ Something like that!”
Sounds like another monster hit to us!
