🙃 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.

Hozier speaking Irish on the same album where he unabashedly sings abt the preservation of native tongues in the face of colonization/imperialism….. this album may kill me dead, i fear.

Hozier: you know what we need after Butchered Tongue? Anything But. I am sure the difference will not be jarring at all, they will surely enjoy it.

Andrew is absolutely obsessed with Neil's "butcher" smile. Neil hates it obviously, but Andrew thinks it encompesses everything Andrew likes about Neil. It shows just how dangerous Neil could be, and that makes Andrew feel safe in his own way.

Most Hozier fans will do ANYTHING but acknowledge the African-American influence that shapes most of his music. No one talks about it, and no one cares.
Rather let him be your "forest daddy", "fae king", "Irish dude", and all that stuff, and refuse to acknowledge some of the political and social commentary he's made, especially those that affect P.O.C. Rather put his folk music on a pedestal, and ignore everything else. Rather "go look another way".
I've probably seen about 2 posts ever, that talk about the African-American influence in "Take Me To Church", self-titled and "Wasteland, Baby", and almost everything. Everybody else just sees his music as cute cottagecore, forest folk stuff. It's almost as if "Nina Cried Power" (such a powerful anthem, with THE Mavis Staples) , "Almost (Sweet Music), "Someone New" and basically the whole of self-titled don't actually exist.
It's almost as if Hozier doesn't incorporate R&B, Soul, Blues, Gospel, Funk and Rock and Roll into his music, and it's almost if these SAME people don't enjoy it.
He mixes Irish with African-American and everybody only acknowledges and appreciates one side of that. How surprising. How shocking. 🙁

niche hc but when Neil is having a Learn Every Language In The World day, he’s just being annoying with Andrew and going through every European language and stopping to google a few phrases before moving on. Eventually he gets to Ireland and Kevin’s not really paying any attention to him until Neil says a word like ‘thank you’ or ‘goodbye’ and he freezes up in the corner of the room.
Andrew notices straight away obviously and stops Neil but then Kevin just starts to cry.
When Kevin’s mother was alive she would call him pet names in Irish, and use some Irish words sporadically here and there when she was speaking, like most Irish people do, and he hasn’t heard anyone speaking Irish since she passed away. Thank you is one of those phrases that a lot of Irish people use day to day just to keep the language alive, and it was always one of those things she made him say as a younger kid to help her feel close to home.
Nobody really knows what to do, and he’s not sure whether he’s happy or sad or both or neither, but just hearing the language out loud causes such a visceral reaction for him that he can’t help it. It’s the first time in a while he’s caught himself thinking, I miss my mom.

So, this song I’m about to sing you, it fits appropriately enough on the circle of violence in this album, and it just, it’s like a poem set to music that I suppose tries to credit the experience of going to different parts of the world that have indigenous names, so Apalachicola, Hushpuckena, places in Australia that we would visit, and then I would ask locals, “What does this place name mean?” and no one being able to tell me what it meant. And it just, I suppose, credits that experience. And recognizing as an Irish person, that although there’s many place names, there’s a great written history in Ireland, and we’re very fortunate that we can still learn much of the language and it’s very accessible to us, the place names and their meaning is very accessible to us, and that is not always the case everywhere you go in the world.

If Hozier doesn’t get nominated for a Grammy this year, tears will be shed and pitchforks will be sharpened.
