Hozier went on BBC Radio yesterday, where he sang a live cover of Sam Smith's "Lay Me Down." Sam Smith loved it so much that he tweeted Hozier to say:

\u201cBrother @Hozier - fucking love the Live Lounge cover!!!! Anything you sing makes me heart jump xx Big kisses sir xx\u201d
— samsmith (@samsmith) 1441113279

Hozier fangirled like anyone would when you get a surprise tweet from Sam Smith:

\u201cAhh! Thrilled you like it!! Was an absolute joy to cover - hope you're keeping well man x https://t.co/wc91zMwl0d\u201d
— Hozier (@Hozier) 1441124240

So cute! :-)
