someone ban him from using icarus as a metaphor because he's gone too far.
I'll absolutely do a more in depth and cohesive look through this song but I adore I, Carrion and I need to talk about it.
The way Hozier manages to convey the feeling of wonder and freedom and newness of Icarus taking to the skies. The tragedy of Icarus' beloved being his own undoing? The way Icarus so easily accepts his end, as if he can die happily having now known the love he's never before had? The desperation in the way Icarus prays that should he fall, he is still able to cling to his love til the very end?
And God this bridge? The way Icarus acknowledges that he isn't and never could be apart of the world he's known to love. Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me? You expect me to be normal after hearing that?
>put on hozier's new album just to hear something while reading
>seconds later having a religious experience every 10 seconds
>bashing my head against the wall throwing up shaking and crying instead of reading (as god intended
my favorite part of francesca is when hozier starts screaming AAAAA! AAAAA! AAAAA! AAAAA! AAAAA! AAAAA! in the background

ok so now my things-i'm-listening-to-now playlist goes straight from Barbie World by Nicki Minaj & Ice Spice to the entire Unreal Unearth album cool i love that for me
Met hozier & he told my Irish speaking friend that his favorite Gaelic word is Bóín Dé literally meaning ‘God’s tiny cow’ or, in English, ‘ladybug.’ Just thought you should all know.
if u american hozier fans like butchered tongue may i direct your attention to
I'm listening to Hoziers new album and the way Who We Are absolutely ripped out my gushing screaming gdussy is just a feeling I wasn't expecting as soon as I get off of work. I feel like I've become the part that's been ripped out and now I'm having an out of body experience and the only way I'll get through this is more Hozier
🙃 Regular reminder that while Hozier has amazing love songs, he is ALSO very outspoken about his leftist politics, specifically anti-fascism, anti-racism, reproductive rights, Palestinian rights and more.
Take Me To Church and Foreigner’s God are scathing critiques of organized religion, specifically the Catholic Church.
Moment’s Silence is about oral sex but it’s ALSO about how that specific sexual act is often distorted to a show of power rather than that of love.
Nina Cried Power is an homage to various civil rights activists from the US and Ireland and a call to follow their path.
Be specifically criticizes anti-migrant policies and Trump and his ilk.
Jackboot Jump is about the global wave of fascism.
Swan Upon Leda is about reproductive rights and the violent colonial oppression of Ireland and Palestine.
Eat Your Young is about the ruinous way the 1%/capitalism prioritizes short-term profit over everything else to the detriment of the youth/99%.
Butchered Tongue is about Irish and other indigenous languages being suppressed and erased by imperial powers.
If any of the above surprised you, please, please delve deeper into Hozier’s music, you’re missing such an important part of his work.
hozier released snippets of too sweet early because fare well would’ve been too powerful
all of a sudden francesca has become my favorite unreal unearth song just from learning the story behind it. its like actually so incredibly tragic and the way hozier describes that then flips it on its head, saying how they would do it again just to have a minute with each other. that heaven was not fit to house a love like theirs? im gonna go cry now
live blogging the new hozier album in the groupchat
