Announcement
Hey so my follower base is growing...
Tumblr media
And I promise this is a genuine announcement. If I wanted to do, say, another writing challenge for 150 followers (bc how cool would that be?!), what songs remind you of LotR/The Hobbit or specific characters? Could be the sound, the lyrics describing a character arc, a general vibe. Comment or reblog and let me know!

I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
When I met you, my virtues uncounted
All of my goodness is goin' with you now
I was housed by your warmth
Thus transformed

Remember me, love, when I'm reborn as the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn

also maybe it's just my old-ass guitar and the way the low string rattles when it's tuned so low but the guitar part almost sounds like a bagpipes drone when I play it sometimes

Wasteland, Baby! | March 1, 2019
"There is definitely a kind of wry smile to the work, but it takes place with a great shadow hanging over, I suppose, the end of the world kind of hanging over the album a little bit. But that is enjoyed in the best way possible."

What I love about hozier's music is that, to me, a lot of his songs aren't instant hits - instead, they grow on me. And they grow HARD. Often it will take me multiple replays to truly get a song and for things to just click, especially when it comes to the lyrics. I'll be listening to a song I had thought sounded alright but that I hadn't been vibing with completely for the 11th time, and suddendly a specific lyric will sink in and make so much fucking sense, and I will feel that in my soul -- me actively falling in love with it.
"Shrike" was one of those songs for me. I just couldn't really get why so many fans were so attached to that song specifically at first. Or at the first ten times I listened to it. But then at some point, I just became utterly obsessed. And now it's one of my favorites and makes me so emotional? It's crazy.
Are all hozier songs enchanted? Is he casting a spell on me with every listen? Absolutely magical.

HAPPY WASTELAND, BABY! DELUXE TO THOSE WHO CELEBRATE!!!
Tumblr media
spoiler free rambling below the cut
I was one of the few people who was lucky enough to have avoided any spoilers from this song when it was leaked right after the NYC listening party- it was actually one of the main reason why I avoided tiktok and twitter for a while... yall. I prepared myself for this song BUT. IT REALLY DIDN'T HELP. I AM SO VERY UNWELL.
It fits SO PERFECTLY with the theme of Wasteland, Baby! and I want to throw hands with Andrew for just letting this sit in a folder in a laptop but I can forgive him because it's out now.
I LOVE that it sounds imperfect, like he gets into these off-kilter flows and runs, but it's deliberate?!! AND IT WORKS WELL.
2019 Hozier, YOUR PEN GAME!?!?!!! SHOULD BE ILLEGAL IT IS SO GOOD. i need to process these lyrics more tomorrow when I'm more awake cuz OH BUDDY it hurts.
Wasteland, Baby! is such a beautiful album and I hope his new fans will get to appreciate it just as much as Unreal Unearth: Unheard now that the deluxe/special edition is here
