#moment’s silence

[redwolf17]

🙃 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.

the fact hozier said he wrote moment’s silence because he saw that someone on genius lyrics interpreted a line in take me to church as a reference to oral sex and he was like “if you want a metaphor for oral sex, here you go!”

Hi! my name is Gabriela Vargas, I’m a Musicologist (in the making) and I’m doing an essay on the Female Gaze reflected in Hozier’s Lyrics. If anyone wanted to help me by answering a couple questions I would be really grateful,

if not, just answering on this post why do you like Hoziers lyrics would be more than enough.

Hope you have a good day 🥰

hate how so much of adult friendship relies on updates, experiencing your life through pictures and tidbits. we had it good with childhood friends, could spend years and years basking in the same circumstance. now i just float through clouds of strangers, hungry for something solid and warm. yes i carry your heart within mine, yes i see the world through your eyes. but in that very moment i still feel alone, still know it's poor substitute for same room, twin smiles.

The Beautiful Necktie

One day, a sad man walked into a clothing store.

Process under the cut

Sometimes when I watch the time lapse I don't know how I made it through the ugly stages.

This one was pretty fast tho, perhaps 3 hrs last night and 3 hrs tonight.

Hey guys. Uh. So I was looking up the lyrics to Moment’s Silence (Common Tongue) and. Okay I knew the song was about oral but. Am I the only one who just now noticed this line?

Like a heathen clung to the homily Let the reason come on the common tongue of your loving me So summon on the pearl rosary Let the reason come on the common tongue of your loving me

UHHHHHHHHH. A rosary. A rosary, that can be worn as a necklace. A rosary, specifically one made of pearls. Andrew John Hozier-Byrne, did you really just—

[lotus-pear]

got around to fully coloring two of the requests yippee‼️

Moment’s silence should win for the sole reason that it’s straight up the perfect song to put on while giving/receiving head. Yup, the world is on fire, fascists are in power, but let’s forget that for 5 seconds because oral sex is great

Honestly so real

If Katara became Fire Lady, the person who this'd suck the most for isn't actually Aang, it'd be Bato's kid (or whoever's mum or dad happens to be good friends with Hakoda). Can you imagine? Your mum's voice?!?! Hakoda's kids are your age and they're out there being chief of the SWT and co-ruling over the Fire Nation. Who are you chieftain of?? You can't even govern a penguin. Disgusten.
