"I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door"

NEW HOZIER ALBUM TOMORROW

I am absolutely going feral (: i'm quietly sitting in the library on a thursday morning)

Wasteland baby! is the most under appreciated of the Hozier albums and truly what an album to be released just before the pandemic what a song to release before the pandemic. During an uncertain time an album about not being alone in a wasteland the way most of the songs are about devotion, to the point of fault, to the point of personal harm, to the point of manipulation, about doing everything to be with this person even when it's detrimental to you both or even when it's a person you've made up in your head, in a year when we couldn’t go out and see each other. Hozier releases an album that puts the yearning for love in the loneliness of the pandemic into words a full year before the pandemic even happened and we don’t even really talk about it and that should be a crime.

True that love in withdrawal was the weepin' of me That the sound of the saw must be known by the tree

god imagine hearing that in a pandemic and not going insane.

in this essay, I will-

Blessed trinity together at last

profoundly unprepared for this kinda emotional warfare

Hozier .9

When my time comes around

Lay me gently in the cold earth

No grave can hold my body down

I'll crawl home to her

Hozier .6

Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago

Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword

Innocents died screaming, honey ask me I should know

I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door.
