rip pádraig mac piarais, you would have loved “foreigners god” by hozier

[queen-of-ash-3]

Need a man to worship me the way Hozier sings about

“No grave can hold my body down, I’ll crawl home to her”

“The only heaven I'll be sent to is when I'm alone with you”

“I've no language left to say it, all I do is crave to her”

“Give your heart and soul to charity 'cause the rest of you, the best of you, honey, belongs to me”

“My lover's got humor, she's the giggle at a funeral. Knows everybody's disapproval, I should've worshipped her sooner”

“If I was born as a blackthorn tree, I'd wanna be felled by you, Held by you, Fuel the pyre of your enemies”

“Don't let me in with no intention to keep me. Jesus Christ, don't be kind to me, Honey, don't feed me, I will come back”

“If I'm a pagan of the good times, My lover's the sunlight. To keep the Goddess on my side, She demands a sacrifice”

it frustrates me to no end that only Hoziers love songs (mostly the “love” songs but that’s another issue for another day) ever get popular, and when his protest/call to action/social commentary songs do get popular, they get misinterpreted to HELL. (god i love Take Me To Church but holy shit that’s NOT A CHRISTIAN SONG AKDBEB) (and honestly his “love” songs also get misinterpreted too but again, different day)

it’s lead to this public view of him mostly being that he’s some forest dweller who only writes love songs to his human lover. his most social commentary songs are the least popular, which i know happens to every artist ever, but it just irks me especially with him, especially because he’s becoming more mainstream and more people are being dumb about his songs

so, anyway, here are some of my favorite of his commentary/protest songs, i urge you to listen!!

oh and here’s the speech he made at Ruoff on May 28th, filmed by me!

(here’s my release order Hozier playlist too)

hozier, butchered tongue // mine // w. s. merwin, losing a language // john elvis smelcer, the poet // hozier, foreigners god

[sakebytheriver]

Do you scream the chorus to Hozier's Foreigner's God or do you not have religious trauma?

[sunshiny-rants]

Foreigner’s God is soooo so Lottielee, like literally no one gets them like me and Hozier

[rincewinds-hat]

y'all don't understand. im OBSESSED with Hozier. because what do you MEAN 'Every word I've got is foreign to me, screaming the name of a foreigner's God'??? What do you mean 'i had been lost to you, flew like a moth to you'?? 'I tell them put me back, and i would do it again, if i could love you for a minute'????? WhaT?????? HOW does this man manage to feed and destroy me in the same sentence
