Hozier the happy album?
The album that with In the woods somewhere, angel of small death, foreigner's god, sedated, and cherry wine?
What about young & wild, lovesick & feral, free yet burdened?
Wasteland Baby sure is Hot as Fuck though.
here's my unbiased descriptions of the 3 biggest hozier albums:
Hozier: Happy, love and respect
unreal unearth: dramatic, sad
wasteland baby: HOT AS FUCK.

I need to talk about Hozier’s album cover
okay so I love our resident bog man as much as the next lesbian but I have an even deeper respect for his music/art after I watched this video explaining the process and symbolism behind the album art
here’s the album art. a cool photograph of Hozier looking pensive underwater, right? WRONG! It’s a PAINTING done by his mom Raine Hozier-Byrne that uses some cool photos they took as its source material!!
so basically if you zoom in you can see images on Hozier’s arm and chest
this one is an image of a protester throwing a can of tear gas back at police - i’m pretty sure it’s from this photo I found of anti-police brutality protests in Baltimore after a young black man named Freddie Gray was violently arrested and subsequently died in custody
and the image on his chest shows migrants disembarking a flimsy boat on a beach somewhere
(i couldn’t find the exact image this was based off of)
both of these very politically charged themes can be found within several songs on his album, for example
“And I could cry power
Power has been cried by those stronger than me
Straight into the face that tells you to
Rattle your chains if you love being free” -Nina Cried Power
“When the man who gives the order
Is born next time ‘round on the boat sent back
When the bodies starvin’ at the border
Are on TV givin’ people the sack” -Be
anyways putting these images on the front of his album is a powerful statement and i didn’t want it to go unnoticed because people (like me) didn’t see the details in the cover artwork at first
I know everyone knows Hozier as the immortal fae being who lives deep in the forest but I just wanted to bring attention to his very politically relevant and poignant choices in the lyrics and cover art
thank you for coming to my ted talk

really recommend getting a partner with a different religion than you and very little knowledge of your religion because the opportunities for explaining things to each other are just exquisite

I turn 30 next month so here’s what I learned in my 20s:
—don’t work for startups, they’re always one ‘innovative idea’ away adding ‘sell your kidneys on the black market’ to your job description.
—keeping a collection of basic OTC medicine on you will save your life one day. I recommend Advil, Imodium, and TUMS.
—those little single-use glasses cleaning wipes are 1000% worth the money
—overly self-depreciating jokes just make people uncomfortable, wean yourself off of them
—you can buy dehydrated mini marshmallows in bulk online and they’re a godsend for hot cocoa
—people don’t care if you have fidget toys on your desk they just want to play with them
—try to go to bed BEFORE the existential ennui kicks in
