I cry a lot AND I’m unproductive. What now.

[annajolras]

There’s something soooooooooooooo beautiful in the way she sings, “And I'm just. getting. color. back. into. my. face, I'm just mad as hell 'cause I loved this place for so long.”

Like singing through it with gritted teeth, just barely starting to come out of the fog, realizing she survived (but at what cost) and it was hard-won, knowing she was dying and she had to do it, but it still hurts because she once loved the home that turned into a prison, she loved who they were in that home at one point, but she’s mad that it all blew up and she’s mad that she let herself stay in that place for long now that she has confirmation by leaving that it would have killed her. There’s exhaustion, there’s anger, there’s tenderness, there’s resignation all at the same time in her voice.

It’s such a stunning song.

Me (someone who has never tried whiskey, drinks coffee with an ungodly amount of milk and sugar and goes to bed at a reasonable time) : I TAKE MY WHISKEY NEAT MY COFFEE BLACK AND MY BED AT THREE!!! YOU'RE TOO SWEET FOR ME!!!

[annajolras]

I feel like the recurring theme of Hozier's works is "We are fucked. But might as well enjoy the intercourse while we're here, right?" And I'm all for it.

Looking for a man who

- takes his whisky neat

- drinks his coffee black

- is in his bed at three

🙃 Regular reminder that while Hozier has amazing love songs, he is ALSO very outspoken about his leftist politics, specifically anti-fascism, anti-racism, reproductive rights, Palestinian rights and more.

Take Me To Church and Foreigner’s God are scathing critiques of organized religion, specifically the Catholic Church and the colonization of Ireland.

Moment’s Silence is about oral sex but it’s ALSO about how that specific sexual act is often distorted to a show of power rather than that of love.

Nina Cried Power is an homage to various (mostly Black) civil rights activists from the US and Ireland and a call to follow their path.

Be criticizes anti-migrant policies and Trump and his ilk.

Jackboot Jump is about the global wave of fascism and about protest and resistance.

Swan Upon Leda is about reproductive rights and the violent colonial oppression of Ireland and Palestine.

Eat Your Young is about the ruinous way the 1%/capitalism and arms dealers prioritize short-term profit over everything else to the detriment of the youth/99%

Butchered Tongue is about Irish and other indigenous languages being suppressed and erased by imperial powers.

If any of the above surprised you, please, please delve deeper into Hozier’s music, you’re missing such an important part of his work.

Dónal Finn was such a perfect poor boy working on a song it's been days and I still can't stop thinking about it. Like. His lalalas/If It's True seriously rewired my brain.

(shoutout to @yatorihell and Pip who accompanied me on the road to hell and Irish Orpheus <3<3<3)
