hello !! i am here to brain dump about hozier :] i mainly ramble about lyrics but am also a professional at shit posting. i hope that impresses you :]

one of my favourite things about "first time" is how, in the first verse, after he sings "awful sound" and "uneasy ally" there are these confused warped violin sounds in the background to reflect the lyrics. such a beautiful little detail, i adore this song so much :')

HELL YEAAAHHH !!!!!

context: this is from lucy's tracklist announcement for her upcoming album :D

[burning-maserati]

It's not the talking, it's the doing

It's the hand that yearns for work

And its renewing

Of the self each time you try

Of purpose and of pride

It's not the waking, it's the rising

It's not what's in front but who's beside you

It's all that came before

And what it provides you

All those that held the line

Who wouldn't bow down and resign

It's not the waking, it's the rising

"i wouldn't be seen walking through any door some place you're not welcome to" is so interesting to me because dante was physically unable to go anywhere virgil wasn't permitted to. it walks the line of love and codependency, and what happens when you lose yourself to devotion. "i do not do this for myself; i'd walk through hell on living feet for you" essentially saying i've gone too far and ended up somewhere i'm not meant to be just through the act of following, the same way dante simply followed virgil through the gates of hell because he seemed like a beacon but ended up in a darkness he couldn't even comprehend. HOZIER !!! YOU GENIUS !!!

and if i say this is the best song from the unearth collection...

I just love how Nobody's Soldier is a direct slap to those who walked out during Hozier's concert while he called for a cease-fire. And all those who claim he's too political. Choke on it with all due respect. ^⁠_⁠^

Nobody’s Soldier by Hozier is a masterpiece ‼️

"Remember me, love, when I'm reborn as the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn" translating to "remember me when i come to use you in the next life, since that's all i seem to do" upon realising what shrike's do with thorns, oh i feel WEAK

"Why would you play it all on something as hollow as trust? What if you gave it all to find that it wasn't enough? What if, under the gaze of all, you come short when the going gets rough? Why would you be loving? [...] And, hey, why would you be loved?"

HOZIER ???? OH MY GOD ????

[vinnventure]

hearing the dead animal metaphors in fare well

not to be that person but what do you mean butchered tongue is the least streamed song on unreal unearth. what do you mean people can listen to lines like "and as a young man blessed to pass so many road signs / and have my foreign ear made fresh again on each unlikely sound / but feel at home hearing a music that few still understand" and just. move on. sort that song into the skip file. what. what do you mean.

anyways butchered tongue is the best song, the most haunting song off unreal unearth.

y'all just don't fucking listen to lyrics anymore.

breaking news: hozier decides to continue his streak of never missing by dropping the best music of 2024 so far.

[crawlhometohozier]

When was someone going to tell me Hozier has new music coming out this month?!?! And it's about someone being too sweet for him?!?

AHHH Hozier is Hoziering.

[petrowriting]

[fawnforevergone]

i am going to need someone to hold my hand right now i'm sobbing my heart out ?? THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I'VE EVER HEARD ????
