I won't deny I've got in my mind now all the things I would do. So I try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I'm imagining you. This song gives me chills… And also reminds me of Joe Goldberg. #Talk #hozier #livemusic #wastelandbaby #you #carolinekepnes

Here is a closer view from the next show in Atlanta, GA on 23 March 2019 where Hozier uses a second vintage-style mic with distortion on his vocals to re-create the album sound.

The guitar used on Talk is the third from his Bohemian Guitars collection to make an appearance. Bohemian built the guitar around a vintage Jacobson’s Gasoline can and fitted it with a single coil and two P90 pick ups, a maple neck, and rosewood fretboard. It’s the first time he’s played this guitar publicly, though it appeared on Hozier’s Instagram in September 2015.
