r.e. the 10+ ppl in my inbox feeling some kind of way about hozier:
a) bc some wires seem to have gotten crossed: i don't actively dislike this dude, fyi. i'm super on board with him in a political sense, from what i've heard/seen, and he's obvs talented, i just don't rly listen to his music; it doesn't do much for me
b) it's nice to know i'm not alone wrt the othering issue! wrappin it up in cutesy/benign language doesn't actually change what it is, which is probs why it's makin you uncomfortable even if yr not sure why (scottish accent memes fall on par here - it's punching down, and most ppl are capable of looking into the whys of that, but they won't lol)
c) take me to church WAS overplayed, but hey better that than ed sheeran (no i don’t take criticism)
