A pagan of the good times, my lover’s the sunlight
February 12th, 2015
How’s this for dancing? The Independent says: “Ukranian ballet dancer Sergei Polunin has performed his stunning visual interpretation of Hozier’s “Take Me To Church” and it’s so good, you have to see it to believe it. Directed by David LaChapelle, the atmospheric video sees the 25-year-old pirouette and sauté to the chart-topping anti-gay oppression anthem, against a beautiful backdrop of a studio amongst the trees.”
Somewhere in the lyrics you can catch “If I’m a pagan of the good times, my lover’s the sunlight”…

Fascinating! Thinking about replacing my morning ritual to invoke Nwyfre with something like this…
Ha! I know what would happen if I tried that! 🙂 I can just see the team of osteopaths standing by!
As we always says… the real poetry the beauty of nature cannot be stopped. It comes forth…it seeps everywhere like water.
Polunin is on his way to becoming one of the great dancers of his era. Lovely to see him in such a beautiful and uncluttered piece!
yes! 🙂
How enchanting seeing another aspect of the Horned God, through movement and the body, embodied so beautifully. He is truly both the wild man, and ‘the maker of fine and delicate things’ as Ron Hutton would put it, perfectly transcendental in the form of ballet.
