ABOUT

Song based on Gm scale and played with 4 chords. Use capo on 3rd fret and play with Em scale.

In the song “Eat Your Young,” Hozier talks about a big meal being made and enjoyed, but also the crazy mess that happens. He says this song is like a hint about a place in a story where there are nine circles of trouble. This song is most like the third circle, which is about eating too much. Hozier got this idea from a really old and famous poem called Divine Comedy, written by Dante Alighieri.
