Hozier on the song he contributed to the 'Tarzan' soundtrack

Singer-songwriter Hozier has opened up about the song he wrote for the soundtrack of the upcoming new 'Tarzan' movie.

He contributed the track 'Better Love' for the 'The Legend of Tarzan' film and told Britain's Daily Star newspaper that he was inspired by the movie's storyline and themes:

"I was excited about the opportunity and the challenge of writing for this film project. After viewing an early edit, I was struck by the theme of endurance, and endurance of love through such a hostile environment. I wanted the song to be an intimate reassurance as spoken from one lover to another - one that might be issued in hardship or doubt."

As previously reported, Hozier confessed to Zane Lowe that he can't listen to 'Take Me To Church' anymore because it has been so overplayed: "If that’s gonna happen it would definitely happen with Church. I try to make a habit of distancing myself from a song."

"You hear it played you just walk out of the room. You just put it behind you. The way I look at it is, a hit song that connects, and it connected beyond my wildest dreams, but a hit song is not a career, a debut album is not a career, you have to keep looking forward to making the next thing."
