Ideas maturing from debut album to Unheard

In Work Song, "no grave can hold my body down, I'll crawl home to her." Addiction, imprisonment, crimes, death itself are no obstacle to love.

10 years later, Too Sweet acknowledges that more mundane obstacles like career, sleep schedule, and lifestyle/personality differences, can break two people apart.

In A Week is a gentle duet, full of nature descriptions, coming to the conclusion that it would be peaceful & romantic to lay down and die together.

10 years later, Wildflower & Barley is a gentle duet, full of nature descriptions, and the awareness that death is all around. But this time, the singers wish to be like the dirt, not to decompose but to work towards growing something new

Not that mainstream media would make a note of this, but Iran has said multiple times that it’s wishing de-escalate. Israel launched a drone attack against Iran a few days ago, but Iran shot it down without retaliation. It even actively played it down so that it didn’t have to retaliate, so that the confrontation could end where it did. It’s Israel that’s continuously attacking Iran and its allies. It’s Israel that’s trying to escalate this. It’s literally them.

i cant listen to anyone on tiktok analyze too sweet by hozier bc no she’s not too young for him and it’s not that he’s trying to protect her. like yes it’s a rejection song but it’s MORE than that - it’s a breakup song and they’re breaking up because they’re fundamentally incompatible as people. he’s not listing things about him that are bad, he’s listing his personal preferences and talking about how they don’t line up with hers - and how they’ve both tried to change things about each other. “oh you wake up early and i sleep in but you always tell me i should go to bed earlier and i keep telling you that you should try staying up late.” and then he says hey it’s not because you’re not wonderful, you are, but who you are just does not work with who i am - i like bitter things but you’re incredibly sweet. basically hozier took the cliche “it’s not you, it’s me” and made it a beautiful poetic song

Lord give me patience, the Americans are already treating Hozier's new song like it's about some fantasy war in a book and not how it's a celebration of a century of Irish independence.

Just keep going. No feeling is final.”
