Very specific bilingual association. Everytime I hear Hozier sing:
"I wanna run against the world that's turnin', I'd move so fast that I'd outpace the dawn."
My mind always thinks about a brazilian song from the legendary Milton Nascimento: "Cheguei a tempo de te ver acordar, eu vim correndo à frente do sol" that roughly translates to:
"I arrived just in time to see you wake up, I came running ahead of the sun."
It blows my mind how two different artists, from different cultures, different generations, different styles, can write such similar metaphors for wanting to be with someone you love.
