Tumblr only allows you to post one video per post. So naturally, I took to CapCut, combined every Hozier video I took last night (with some cuts because the video can only be 500M or something) and am now gifting it to you all 🫶
Tagging some people who wanted to see! @brokendoor16 @moriarty4life @the-stars-are-ineffable @dailydoseofdissappointment @worminmymoutjh @lvndrlondonfog
Just a reminder that listening to Hozier and not caring about politics is not something you can do. You can't listen to his music and not care about the world. You can't just ignore the political messages in his music. A big part of Hozier as an artist, and as a person, is bringing awareness to different issues and standing up for human rights. You can make jokes about him being otherworldly and a tree man because yes, a lot of his romance and morbid songs surround the physical earth it self but you cannot take away the years he's spent discussing human rights issues. He didn't spend 10 fucking years creating incredible albums riddled with songs like Take Me To Church, Nina Cried Power, Foreigner's God, Cherry Wine, and Eat Your Young just to have the political context, a.k.a the heart and soul of those songs, to he ignored. His "aesthetic" is not fairies and forests and skinny white girls in pretty dresses, his "aesthetic" is confronting the government and its corruption to shine light on issues that have been ignored for decades. You can't listen to Hozier and claim to love his music while not paying attention to the world around you.
Since I have been asked for a list, here you go. Six of crows characters as hozier songs, this was so much fun. And I do think the list is perfect but I am biased because I made it
Thinking a lot already about Hozier saying “I wanna run against a world that’s turning” in De Selby II and already feeling just absolutely sick to my stomach I keep saying he can’t keep getting away with this but at this point lord I worry I want him to
what I don’t really like about people calling hozier a bog man or a mythical spirit or anything ethereal and inhuman is that it’s exactly the opposite of what his music conveys. Hozier’s songs embody the rawest human experiences, from love to lust to religion to loss. and to say that a man who experiences these things isn’t a man simply because his lyrics are ’too beautiful’ or anything along those lines takes away a lot of what humanity is
Hozier is incredibly talented and he makes absolutely enchanting music. but he’s still just a human, singing about the beauty and the pain of being just a human.
also I’m pretty sure he’s bothered by it too because it has something to do with disrespecting Irish culture? can’t totally remember
i don't think that normal people understand how viscerally hozier songs make me feel because listen. are you listening to me listen listen
i could be having my most soul crushing, exhausting, awful awful awful day. feeling so fucking low that i'm the fucking snake in genesis 3:14 crawling with my belly in the dirt. and andrew hozier-byrne, the fucking resurrected jesus or something because what the fuck no normal person should be able to make me feel this way, will hoist me up with his biblical symbolism lyrics about deeply irrevocable yearning and make me feel like the first nebulae to ever be breathed into existence by an angel because - because because because are you listening
because no one can hear heaven is not fit to house a love like you and i,or in the low lamplight i was free, heaven and hell were words to me, or i slithered here from eden just to sit outside your door, and not be so astrally projected that negative emotions are left behind as i rocketeer into the atmosphere of holy light that is his voice, his lyrics, his music
it is cathartic. it is revitalizing. it is visceral.
andrew hozier-byrne, you are a treasure for the ages.
The many faces of Andrew Hozier-Byrne! Drew these from his interview with Lewis Howes which was so lovely! Also if you haven’t listened to Wasteland, Baby! Extended, go do it 🫵
Why Would You Be Loved is the anti-No Plan. They're in conversation with each other.
One asks "why would you love and care and create and try to help others when there is always going to be suffering and pain and the death of everything?"
And the other asks "why would you wallow in the suffering and pain and death when you could love? everything is going to end anyway."
how did hozier come up with “true that the sound of the saw must be known by the tree” as a metaphor of knowing of the relationship’s inevitable end, of knowing love is on the path of destruction. no seriously how the fuck do you come up with that
