"Cherry Wine" -- which features in a live version on his self-titled debut record -- is described by the 25-year-old Irish singer as "a love song written from the perspective of someone who is in an abusive relationship." So Hozier and his record labels have decided to donate all of the single's proceeds to several domestic abuse charities, including Women's Aid in the U.K.

 

Hozier also recruited fellow highflying Irish export -- the Oscar-nominated Saoirse Ronan -- to star in the video for the song, which will premiere on Valentine's Day.

Beautifully subtle, tender song with a powerful message. Saoirse's involvement with the release grabbed my attention as I really love her as an actress, and the video definitely delivers. The track's currently top 10 on Irish iTunes.

Surprised their still pumping $$ into this era.

Beautiful song!
