"Cherry Wine"
Song

"Cherry Wine" is a song by Hozier released in February 2016 as the final single from the 2014 album Hozier. The song was issued to promote awareness of the issue of domestic violence, and sales from downloads go to anti-domestic violence charities.[1][2] The video, starring Saoirse Ronan as a domestic violence victim, which premiered on Valentine's Day, was given wide coverage in the Irish press.[3][4][5] In March Hozier performed the song at the UN Women HeForShe event, supported by SAFE Ireland.[6]
