hozier performing an acoustic set of from eden, dublin 2019. I get brought to tears every time I watch this.
(don’t ask me how to get the full footage bc idk 😭 the concert was professionally recorded because it was supposed to be televised but it never ended up happening. somehow some fans managed to 🏴☠️this specific part, I just screen-recorded it and have had it saved for 4yrs)
"the line about the tsa in his new ep sounds weird he shouldn't be referencing modern day. i can't not imagine him in the woods-" killing you with my laser pew pew pew pew shut the fuck up shut upppppppp hozier is a real person in the modern day stop romanticizing Irish people like some fae forest amalgamation they're a real modern culture with real modern issues let hozier exist in the modern day i get it he has great songs for that wood-dark-fantasy-romantic aesthetic but let him be a well-rounded person with well-rounded music references and lyrics and topics it's weird that you can't handle anything otherwise
I’m taking it like hozier wrote the song ‘too sweet’ for zolu, hmh hmh.
“I think I'll take my whiskey neat My coffee black and my bed at three You're too sweet for me , You're too sweet for me
You know you're bright as the morning As soft as the rain Pretty as a vine As sweet as a grape If you can sit in a barrel Maybe I'll wait Until that day.”
So you're telling me when Hozier sang You keep tellin' me to live right it wasn't Mary talking to Arthur?
And you're telling me I aim low I aim true, and the ground's where I go I work late where I'm free from the phone and the job gets done isn't literally Arthur explaining his lifestyle to Mary, and knowing that his role in the gang is getting the job done?
And you're saying You treat your mouth as if it's Heaven's gate the rest of you like you're the TSA is not about the fact that Mary opens herself to Arthur's love just to take the rest of her away because of her ties to her family and the current society standards for a woman? And in a sense, this is still Arthur talking- acusing Mary of keeping away, not seeing her side.
And you're still expecting me to believe You know you're bright as the morning as soft as the rain pretty as a vine as sweet as a grape if you can sit in a barrel maybe I'll wait IS NOT ARTHUR TELLING HOW MUCH HE LOVES MARY BUT THAT HE SIMPLY HAS TO WAIT FOR THE RIGHT TIME FOR HIM TO LEAVE GANG? HUH?
I just think that many of Hozier's songs are perfect love songs that go with Arthur and Mary or John and Abigail. In this essay I will- *gunshot*
I couldn't just leave fem Crowley floating there so I did what i don't normally do and changed her after publishing her. I went in and added clouds and the stars that she loves. I also fixed the glow of her halo.
I also added two stars, shining brightly, so close together that they seem one. She can be seen staring wistfully at them, while drinking her whiskey (which she likes neat, thanks Hozier for the song "Too Sweet").
I hope this can be seen as an improvement to the piece over all.
