Oh, really?
The songwriters for Stay With Me took an old Tom Petty hit, slowed it down, and put it over a piano. Then they wrote a song about unrequited love. So original.
Meanwhile, Take Me To Church tied together themes such as the hypocrisy of religious doctrines and the humanity of sexual desire and love. To top it off, it had a meaningful, explicit video inspired by the homophobic attitudes of certain groups in Russia. It was infinitely more original than Stay With Me, and it is certainly an anomaly on pop radio.
Yes, Hozier was robbed.
