What I Love About Hozier's Music Is That, To Me, A Lot Of His Songs Aren't Instant Hits - Instead, They

What I love about hozier's music is that, to me, a lot of his songs aren't instant hits - instead, they grow on me. And they grow HARD. Often it will take me multiple replays to truly get a song and for things to just click, especially when it comes to the lyrics. I'll be listening to a song I had thought sounded alright but that I hadn't been vibing with completely for the 11th time, and suddendly a specific lyric will sink in and make so much fucking sense, and I will feel that in my soul -- me actively falling in love with it.

"Shrike" was one of those songs for me. I just couldn't really get why so many fans were so attached to that song specifically at first. Or at the first ten times I listened to it. But then at some point, I just became utterly obsessed. And now it's one of my favorites and makes me so emotional? It's crazy.

Are all hozier songs enchanted? Is he casting a spell on me with every listen? Absolutely magical.

thinking about libraries genuinely makes me want to cry. like that is the pinnacle of humanity right there. we love learning things for their own sake, and we want you to learn it too, in a quiet little place so you can build your own world. the only thing missing is a soup kitchen

my toxic trait is simply not doing things if i don't want to do them

Just an opinion but getting into STEM just for a degree or high paying job is a crime against humanity.

लग जा गले कि फिर ये हसीं रात हो न हो

शायद फिर इस जनम में मुलाक़ात हो न हो....

पास आइए कि हम नहीं आएँगे बार-बार

बाँहें गले में डाल के हम रो लें ज़ार-ज़ार...

लग जा गले कि फिर ये हसीं रात हो न हो

शायद फिर इस जनम में मुलाक़ात हो न हो...

फिर आपके नसीब में ये बात हो न हो

शायद फिर इस जनम में मुलाक़ात हो न हो....

When death gently knocks at my door, I want this song to play softly in the background. In that moment, So I know it my time...

I stab it

It bleeds

The filthy little creature

Sorry for it's sins

No mercy

There never will be

Warming up the earth

Blood soaking through her layers

Some muffled weeping

A scream and anguish

Makes the perfect lullaby

I close my eyes

Its gone for good

As though it had never walked the earth

As it should have been.
