Hozier's new video for 'Cherry Wine' has a powerful message

I think it's fair to say that Hozier's music has captured a lot of our hearts in the past couple of years.

The Bray native's newest single 'Cherry Wine' has dropped and it tackles a very sensitive issue experienced by many people.

Starring none other than Carlow's Saoirse Ronan and Dungarvan native Moe Dunford, 'Cherry Wine' takes aim at the problem of domestic abuse.

As you can see, the video shows the characters - played by Ronan and Moe Dunford - as a couple who look clearly in love, before it becomes evident as the woman in the relationship can be seen unravelling the physical scars that come with it.

As the video progresses, the emotional strain on the woman involved becomes evident.

The video has been accompanied with #FaceUpToDomesticViolence, which has been trending on Twitter this afternoon.

I think it's fair to say that the video has successfully got it's message across:

Not only that, but all proceeds for the song - available to download now - all go to domestic abuse charities.

Brilliant performance from both Saoirse Ronan and Moe Dunford as well, it has to be said.
