Abstract is about how a person gives kindness to a dying animal and helps them into the afterlife. The kindness this person shown made him have love for this person. I know you had a difficult time recently with a similar experience, this song hits hard and is quite deep around this experience. Hope you are all doing well.

2025-05-27 20:52:05 +0000 UTCI love Anything But. I feel like you get to see Hozier’s real Irish sarcasm come to life. A seemingly cheery, upbeat song with lyrics that have a double meaning. Lines like “if I was a stampede you wouldn’t get a kick”, “if I was a riptide I wouldn’t take you out”, “if I had his job you would live forever” all sound sweet and maybe even romantic on the surface, but he’s really saying “I would avoid you at all costs in every possible scenario” lmao

2025-05-08 19:27:04 +0000 UTCI’d like to clarify Butchered Tongue because I actually wrote a paper about colonialingualism and how languages are fragmented through colonization as the first act of violence, specifically through an analysis of contemporary cultural media like Brian Friel’s “Translations” and Hozier’s “Unreal Unearth: Unending.” Hozier is mourning his language — Irish Gaeilge will never again be what it was, and all that remains of it is largely lost on those who should have inherited that culture and language. the pitch cap is a form of torture used against the Irish during early uprisings that was “perfected” by an English general so people could survive it — but they were permanently disabled and were scalped in the process. the Irish were the first to experience chattel slavery, particularly on the basis of “race,” and Hozier laments the losses that came of that treatment in this album. while many compare the narrative to Dante’s Divine Comedy, what Hozier is actually narrating is a love letter to the lost history of the Irish and the brutality that created the Irish Diaspora and the widespread loss of language and heritage — which is also why he uses extensive allusions to Greek myths. he’s a brilliant and well-educated man, and this album is a culmination of a lifetime of lived and learned Irish history — a return to the mission of the Celtic Twilight, one could say. if you want more Irish artist recs, Flogging Molly and Kneecap are AMAZING groups who represent this history!!

Can’t wait for the last part and I really hope you do more Hozier videos in the future because he’s truly so talented!

2025-04-21 23:23:47 +0000 UTCy’all would probably have fun with his live little impromptu warm up of “the humours of whiskey” - it’s an old irish folk song, less than a minute, but his technicality is just so effortless 😭
