I didn’t think Hozier’s Take Me to Church song or video, could ever get any better.

And then I saw this:

Sergei Polunin, “Take Me to Church” by Hozier, Directed by David LaChapelle from David LaChapelle Studio on Vimeo.

I grew up with two gay moms, so needless to say I loved the original video—it is strong in all the right ways for me.

However, sometimes the video feels too heavy.

Brava to Russian dancer Sergei Polunin, activist/musician Hozier and photographer/director David LaChapelle for finding the light in this song.

Relephant: 

With Chris Brown in the audience, President Obama gave this stirring message to the Grammys.
