I love that Hozier didn't do a music video for Too Sweet, which could have been pretty and fun, but instead does a music video for the political song that is closer to his heart. I love that he dropped all subtlety with symbols and visuals so everyone can understand his message clearly. I love that he is anti-war and anti-captalist and that he made a song and video that can not be misinterpreted as cottage core bogman. Go Hozier!

Magick isn’t an outside force, mystically waiting around to do your bidding. Magick is the energy of things you set into motion—in your environment and most especially in yourself.

- cherry wine is about domestic abuse. it’s now called a cute proposal song.

- too sweet is about seizing the day and ignoring healthy habits in favor of having more fun with unhealthy ones. he’s actively critical of himself in the song. it’s now called a song about thinking you’re superior for drinking black coffee.

- take me to church is about worship as a metaphor for sex. it’s called a religious song.

- eat your young is a song about war and political greed. it’s called a song about sex.

- now, the strongly political message of nobody’s soldier is being ignored in favor of calling it a metaphor for hozier’s relationship with his fans.

when are we going to stop simplifying hozier’s music down to cute little cottagecore bogman forest music? maybe you dont want to hear this but i don’t care. quit listening to hozier for the aesthetic. there’s a reason why empire now, foreigner’s god, butchered tongue, etc. songs with unignorable political messages are among his least popular songs.
