#“i try to talk refined for fear that you'll find out how I'm imagining you” come on

[starlight-archer]

Talk by Hozier is the Charles x Edwin song to me

[lonesomedotmp3]

I'd be the voice that urged orpheus when her body was found I'd be the choiceless hope in grief that drove him underground I'd be the dreadful need in the devotee that made him turn around and I'd be the immediate forgiveness in eurydice imagine being loved by me

[abjectapathy]

remember when Hozier said "I won't deny I've got in my mind all the things I would do so I try to talk refined for fear that you'll find out how I'm imagining you" and "imagine being loved by me" in the same song

[hislaevv]

No one has perfected romance the way Hozier has. His songs make you wonder where he learned to love.

No grave can hold my body down, I'll crawl home to her

So I try to talk refined For fear that you find out How I'm imagining you

If the heavens ever did speak She's the last true mouthpiece

When you move I can recall somethin' that's gone from me

With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean She's the angel of small death and the codeine scene

And that day that we'll watch the death of the sun That the cloud and the cold and those jeans you have on And you'll gaze unafraid as they sob from the city roofs

And the nights were as dark as my baby And half as beautiful too

[the-august-one]

Imagine being loved by me

I won't deny I've got in my mind all the things I would do

So I'll try to talk refined for fear that you'll find out how I'm imaginin' you

RAEDA SONGS FROM MY RAINE PLAYLIST :

for the full playlist, click here !

JULIET, cavetown — raine pov i wanna make / a color that no one else has seen before / i wanna be so much more / i hope that she / looks at me and thinks, "shit, he is so pretty" / something I can't believe ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ the entire playlist is in chronological order; this song is representative of the earliest stages of their relationship, when they were teenagers && still just friends — all of raine's ambitions mixed with their feelings for eda, && how swept up in her they became

SONGBIRD, fleetwood mac — both pov and the songbirds are singing, / like they know the score / and i love you, i love you, i love you / like never before / and i wish you all the love in the world / but most of all, i wish it from myself ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ this song is from when they're older, but the relationship is still fairly fresh... maybe two years in. i can actually imagine this being one of the songs that they wrote && sang together. totally not inspired by this art at all, nope.

OPHELIA, the lumineers — raine pov oh, ophelia / you've been on my mind girl since the flood / oh, ophelia / heaven help a fool who falls in love ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ this song occurs as things starts to get difficult ; they're still together, but raine is starting to feel doubt about eda's honesty && how long they can sustain this relationship.

WOULD THAT I, hozier — raine pov with the war of the fire / my heart moves to its feet / like the ashes of ash / i saw eyes in the heat / feel it soft and as pure as snow / fell in love with the fire long ago / with each love i could lose / i was never the same / watch it still live in roofs / be consumed by the flame / i was fixed on your hand of gold / lay in waste of my lovin' long ago ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ raine truly loves eda, she's someone they want to fight for, && they have so much admiration for her; this song is evidence of their affection. it's the calm before the storm, as they gather the resolve to make a difficult choice,

NEVER LOVE AN ANCHOR, the crane wives — eda pov on some level, i think i always understood / that a ship could never really love an anchor / so, i did the only thing that i could / and severed the rope to set you sailing from my harbor / ... / and you'll never see the reasons i had / for keeping my claws away when they were close enough to hurt you ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ this song isn't actually about a romantic relationship, but it's also the quintessential breakup song anyway, && it's so very eda. this is her pushing raine away, believing they deserve better && not wanting them to see her at her lowest point, not wanting them to be burdened.

BECAUSE DREAMING COSTS MONEY, MY DEAR, mitski — eda pov darling, play your violin / i know it's what you live for / darling, play your violin / we will manage somehow / don't dare regret anything / remember what you're here for, you / just play your violin / and we will manage somehow ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ the actual breakup — eda's understanding an acceptance of raine's decision, especially knowing that they plan to finally join the bard coven && pursue the music career they'd put on hold for her for so long.

AVALANCHE, leonard cohen (cover by aimee mann) — eda pov i have begun to long for you, / i who have no need / i have begun to wait for you, / i who have no need / you say you've gone away from me, / but I can feel you when you breathe / do not dress in those rags for me / i know you are not poor / you don't love me quite so fiercely now / when you know that you are not sure ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ post!breakup, eda's subsequent regret && bitter understanding.

TALK, hozier — raine pov i won't deny i've got in my mind now all the things we'd do / so i'll try to talk refined for fear that you find out how i'm imaginin' you ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ this could be another diegetic song, in that it's something raine could've written, especially with the earlier lyrics referencing the mythology of orpheus && eurydice. early in the breakup, eda is still on raine's mind a lot, reflective of their immediate regret.

ANGELINE THE BAKER, sam kelley — raine pov angeline the baker would now be 43, / and it's been over 20 years since she said she'd marry me / ... / oh angeline the baker, oh angeline i know / i should've married angeline, oh many years ago ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ a later song, also diegetic. much closer to canon, when eda is in the public eye a lot. raine is reflecting back on that time in their life with more fondness than before ; they miss her, but they do accept it for what it is to be able to talk ( write && sing ) about it openly. raine also had intended to marry eda back then. it was something they'd talked about, but there was never an actual proposal.

IF IT'S TRUE, hadestown — eda pov if it's true what they say / if there's nothing to be done / if it's true that it's too late / and the girl i love is gone / if it's true what they say / is this how the world is? / to be beaten and betrayed and then be told that nothing changes? / it'll always be like this? / if it's true what they say / i'll be on my way ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ set during follies at the coven day parade. eda && raine's confrontation in the alley, when raine has to make eda believe they've completely forgotten about everything && that they don't want anything to do with her.

RULE #2 - MOONLIGHT, fish in a birdcage — raine pov it's good to hear your voice / i'll tell you what the world looks like from up here / there's hurricanes and blizzards too / please stay safe and warm 'til I get to you / all i need is to come home to you / all i want is to be close to you / all i need is to come home to you / all i want is to be with you ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ set after follies at the coven day parade. raine's resolve to keep fighting && protect eda no matter what.

MARRY ME A LITTLE, company (cover by eleri ward) — raine pov you can be my best friend / i can be your right arm / we'll go through a fight or two / no harm, no harm / we'll look not too deep / we'll go not too far / we won't have to give up a thing / we'll stay who we are / right? / okay, then / i'm ready / i'm ready now / ... / marry me a little / body, heart, and soul / passionate as hell / but always in control / want me first and foremost / keep me company / that's the way it ought to be / i'm ready / i'm ready now ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ post-canon. a callback to "angeline the baker" as well. able to settle down together at last, raine is able to finally propose to eda. honestly, this one could be diegetic. it feels like something they'd write, && do in a song.

Hi hi!!!

I was tagged by wonderful @circa-specturgia for the lyrics challenge! Thank you so much, I love music challenges 🖤✨

OG post

Let's go with those OCs!!! ⚡

Ship Song Tag Game!

Lily and Eva - Never Love An Anchor

Explanation: this is the begining of their relationship, lyrics are Eva POV

On some level I think I always understood

That these hands of mine were clumsy not clever

And I tried to do the best that I could

But try as I might I could not bring myself to hold you

It's a secret I keep tucked inside my chest

With this heart of mine thats guilty not remorseful

There is love that doesn't have a place to rest

But it would have buried you if it had settled on your shoulder

On some level I think I always understood

That a ship could never really love an anchor

So I did the only thing that I could

And severed the rope to set you sailing from my harbor

There are times where I still wonder about you

You are someone I have loved but never known

And you'll never see the reasons I had

For keeping my claws away when they were close enough to hurt you

I am selfish I am broken I am cruel

I am all the things the might have said to you

Do you ever think of me and my two hands

And wondered why

They never soothed your fevers

And wondered why

They never tied your shoes

And wondered why

They never held you gently

And wondered why

They never had the chance to lose you

Jehoel and Victor - Talk - Hozier

Explanation - Jehoel and Victor to each other, both saying around the same thing, cherishing each others' long and strong relationship

I'd be the voice that urged Orpheus

When her body was found (Hey ya)

I'd be the choiceless hope in grief

That drove him underground (Hey ya)

I'd be the dreadful need in the devotee

That made him turn around (Hey ya)

And I'd be the immediate forgiveness

In Eurydice

Imagine being loved by me!

I won't deny I've got in my mind now all the things we'd do

So I'll try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I'm imaginin' you

I'd be the last shred of truth

In the lost myth of true love (Hey ya)

I'd be the sweet feeling of release

Mankind now dreams of (Hey ya)

That's found in the last witness

Before the wave hits

Marvelling at God (Hey ya)

Before he feels alone

One final time

And marries the sea

Imagine being loved by me

I won't deny I've got in my mind now all the things I would do

So I'll try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I'm imaginin' you

I won't deny I've got in my mind now all the things we could do

So I'll try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I'm imaginin' you

Oscar and Hun - Wodymidaj (Give me the water) - Kwiat Jabłoni (Apple Blossom)

Explanation - put together, both exploring and improving by getting to know each other and themselves

They are thrown into a world

And they are thrown into each other

All under the sky

Will you live like a lord?

Or somewhere under the fence and alone?

You don't know that

Will you live among the mountains?

Or may will the wall of the great cities cover them?

They are thrown into each other

The world is like a big fire

That burn forever

From the sky to the ground

So lead me through the burning forest

Let huge rain fall on me from the sky

So lead me through the burning forest

Like a river flow in, save me

And they still get to know this world

They get to know the stars and the earth

All under the sky

Will you know the world shedding tears

Will you get on with it?

It depends only on you

Will you stamped on the bottom

Or with the head in the clouds in dream

They are thrown into each other

Though this world burn forever

I believe in my heart that I...

Will not change anymore

So lead me through the burning forest

Let huge rain fall on me from the sky

So lead me through the burning forest

Like a river flow in, save me

Give me a water, give me a water

Give me a water, give me a water

Give me a water, give me a water

Give me a water, give me a water

So lead me through the burning forest

Let huge rain fall on me from the sky

So lead me through the burning forest

Like a river flow in, save me

james "jem" carstairs

woah! was that JAMES “JEM” CARSTAIRS walking down main street? i heard they’re not actually from ivy cove but come from THE INFERNAL DEVICES. they’re TWENTY-FIVE and live in RADIAN HILLS but watch out because they can be SECRETIVE + JEALOUS but are actually INTELLIGENT + STEADFAST. despite them NOT HAVING memories, you’ll always think of THE URGE TO EXPERIENCE EVERYTHING BUT KNOWING YOU’LL RUN OUT OF TIME; A BED FOR TWO WITH ROOM FOR THREE; KNOWING A TYPE OF LOVE THAT TRANSCENDS AGE AND TIME; THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU WERE ALWAYS GOING TO DIE YOUNG; & THE DRIP, DRIP, DRIPPING OF AN IV when imagining them. / shannon chun-kook, he/him.

𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐒.

name. james carstairs. alias. jem. ki jian ming. age. 151 twenty-five (25). gender. cis male. pronouns. he/him. occupation. paramedic. memories. no.

𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓.

talk / hoizer - i won't deny i've got in my mind now all the things we'd do / so i'll try to talk refined for fear that you find out how i'm imaginin' you burden / foy vance - let me carry your burden / get you back on a high when you're feeling low / when the weight's too heavy, but you won't let go to build a home / the cinematic orchestra - there is a house built out of stone / wooden floors, walls and window sills / tables and chairs worn by all of the dust / this is a place where i don't feel alone / this is a place where i feel at home

𝐀𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒.

the urge to experience everything but knowing you'll never have enough time. being covered in tattoos that you don't remember getting. a bed made for two with more than enough room for three. what is life without a little bit of sacrifice? knowing a type of love that transcends time and age. being dependent on things you can't control and hating every second of it. the knowledge that you were always destined to die young. you love and you love and you love and it is still not enough. the drip, drip, dripping of an iv.

hello! i am very shy so i will stay on anon but 👀 and 👂 for Sun-wook pls 👉👈

👀 : Does your OC believe they are attractive? Do they use that to their advantage?

i don't want to say he uses it to his advantage as much as other people do it for him? he picks up so much attention even when he isn't trying to (Woosung said it i didn't *cough*) so if some of the said attention givers are willing to do him a favor and get a few things done for him that he asked for...... in his career or otherwise....... he isn't going to say no. not in this economy when people are usually so stingy in the first place sksksksk

👂 : Does your OC have an attractive voice?

Sun-wook has,,,,,, picked up several of his exes in the past by simply talking at the other end of room and then waiting for them to come and investigate so i mean uh. i would like to think so bc have you heard this man. tw for food during the rest of the video if you'd like to avoid that kind of thing but he has the kind of voice that needs to do asmr post haste. and anon i do mean post haste. when Hozier says he tries to talk refined 'for fear that you'll find out / how i'm imagining you' this is what he meant. anyway i may or may not be completely projecting here ignore me

send me piping hot oc asks!

[bishamcns]

the only men i will accept this kind of cocky behaviour from are hozier and zen

[cc: lyrics from "talk" by hozier

"imagine being loved by me,

i won't deny i've got in my mind,

all the things i would do,

so i try to talk refined, for the fear that you'll find out,

how i'm imagining you."]

[lesbeet]

when hozier said "i won't deny i've got in my mind now all the things i would do, so i try to talk refined for fear that you'll find out how i'm imagining you" he was talking about being gay

[demibroseph]

So I try to talk refined for fear that you'll find out how I'm imagining you

Hozier, Talk

[darklesmylove]

is it just me or does talk by hozier fit "if you'll let me"-aleks really well? i mean "I won't deny I've got in my mind now all the things we'd do, So I'll try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I'm imaginin' you" idk maybe i'm just imagining things

I love hozier and I love this its accurate as fuck for both of them bc they're both got it bad and won't admit it lol

also side note but like it always makes me smile and just im so touched that you guys actually think about my writing outside of just being on the internet and its so cool and almost humbling in a sense? like you actually like my work enough to make edits and think of songs for my fics and idk I just want to thank you all for being so supportive it really means a lot.

sorry that got so sappy ew im gross keep scrolling 

[crickwater]

okay but talk is a Jeff song
