🙃 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.

You know, something gives me the feeling that maybe you’re not as much a fan of his music as you think you are.

"And to men, also, just be wary of any mentality that would make cattle or make vessels of women. Because that same mentality will make machines and tools of you, and make monsters of you."

Propaganda under the cut
Damage Gets Done
It's off his most recent album but I don't see lots of discussion about it. This song makes you feel nostalgic and the chorus just shoots you into the sun with those high notes.
Jackboot Jump
someone on tumblr said that this was his least streamed song and that’s criminal. this song is really stripping away the metaphors and subtext and just stating outright what’s wrong with the world. specifically government censorship and military violence. plus double check this but i think all proceeds are donated to blm!!

All around the world
You'd think that things were looking rough
But the jackboot only jumps down
On people standing up
So you know good things are happening
When the jackboot needs to jump
✯ Jackboot Jump, Hozier

hozier could get up on stage and say the words "capitalism is a flawed and violent system and we need to implement universal socialism" and people would still be like "haha silly little bog man 😂"
