The instant I heard I, Carrion, I knew I had to get a tattoo of it. Idk what it is about that song but it just makes everything around me fade away when I listen to it. I ended up reading a lot about The Fall of Icarus, and all of it really resonates with me. Anyway, the song inspired me to get a tattoo of the story - here it is after the first of 2 sessions :)

I’ve been trying to collect all of Hozier’s collabs in a playlist dedicated to his entire discography and was wondering if I’ve missed anything!

Here’s what I’ve got so far:

- Northern Attitude (Noah Kahan)

- Tell it to My Heart (Meduza)

- The Bones (Maren Morris)

- Bullseye (Lucy Dacus)

- Rubber Band Man (Mumford and Sons)

- Rio (G Frequency)

- In Your Own Sweet Time (Zaskra)

- The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face (Barbara Streisand)

- Blood Upon the Snow (Bear McCreary)

Thank you!

The first time I heard his music was in 2020 during Dark S03E05, it was In the Woods Somewhere.

I had never heard anything like that voice before. And his lyrics?! Pure poetry! They make me feel things I didn't even know I could feel. Saying that his music changed my life is an understatement.

How was it for you all?

I didn’t know this song existed until today. It’s not on his Spotify.

Band: G Frequency
Album: Soul Focus
Song: Rio (as featured artist)

Just bringing this little gem back . I miss the days when Hozier would answer people's questions and engage in chit chat

hiii! im a bit of a cassette collector and i’ve been trying to get my hands on any/all hozier cassettes for a bit now :’)

unfortunately i’ve never been able to find any, they seem pretty few and far between

any other cassette fans on here with sagely advice?

It's interesting how people seem to universally refer to Hozier as "folk" when he hasn't really made much folk music and most of his music is pop soul.

Was listening to I, Carrion again today and heard the things I've seen people talking about with icarus and the word Carrion (which might i add bird connotation in the song then brings in the idea of scavenger birds like Carrion feeders) but I realized something else also. Not sure if someone has said it yet but the way that Hozier sings "I, Carrion icarian" also sounds like "i carry on" as if even though fallen he has strength to still continue on or some other meaningful message through the song.

Another interpretation is the play of Carrion (decaying fleshed a dead animal/ death) so that it's literally I, Carrion Icarian, "I, dead and decaying icarus." Or even with my thoughts of wordplay, "I, dead and decaying, I carry on (Icarus)." Icarus was foolish but determined, so of course he would be known for despite the danger, carrying on into flying higher and higher to the sun.

Anyway, just my two cents.

I realize there are extended editions of each of these albums, but poll options are limited. So if your favourite is an extended album, vote for the corresponding "core" album. For instance, if your favourite is "Unreal, Unearth: Unaired" then vote for "Unreal, Unearth (2023/2024)."

I recently got the new Tomodachi Life game and of course I had to spend a little time making this album cover. I don't think I have the patience to attempt Wasteland, Baby! or self titled.

Which Hozier song for karaoke night?

“Hear me out…. Butchered tongue.”

I’m singing in a karaoke contest in my hometown and wanted to sing a Hozier song because his music has always meant a lot to me. Winner gets $1,000 so I kind of want to actually try instead of just saying “screw it” and not planning and thinking about song choice.

Song choice is considered in their judging so the popular answer would be take me to church or too sweet but I’m just not feeling them.. take me to church is in an awkward range for me and too sweet is just not what I’m really going for. If I can feel connected to the music I feel like I’ll sing better and be more comfortable and authentic. We’re on round 3 and the first songs I sang were ‘what the water gave me’ by Florence and the machine and ‘heart like mine’ by Miranda Lambert.. mainly just cause I like them but I am also pretty emotionally attached to them. I’d sing ‘NFWMB’ but I gotta keep it clean.. I thought about ‘Francesca’ but it’s still not exactly the vibe I’m feeling. I also thought about ‘first light’ but I’m not sure if the little “ahh”s in the beginning will be there or not and it might feel awkward.

Anyways I’d really love to hear your guys’ thoughts. What do you think would be a good Hozier karaoke song?

Hi! New here and wanted to share my Hozier artwork. Portrait was from 2023 and the lover's eye inspired piece was from 2025. If you would like to see more check out my insta theroseandpencil thanks!

Hi Reddit! A few months ago, I reached out in this group to share a survey for physical media collectors and vinyl enthusiasts. Now that my project has wrapped up, I wanted to share some of my results with you all!

I'm teaching my Year 9 class Unseen Poetry at the moment and so far it has just been a fantastic opportunity to shoehorn in my favourite non-conventional literature.

I'd love to create an activity where they annotate a part of a Hozier song.

Any ideas? So far I've considered Talk (potentially inappropriate/unseen element might depend on a lot of prior knowledge about Greek mythology) and Abstract (Psychopomp) - just because I love the song.

I know there’s a running joke/discussion about Hoziers lack of enunciation (edit) in some songs, so this was too good to not share with the masses.

My daughter (she’s 5) was singing yesterday and she said “mom, why does he say limmy jimmy?” And I said “I’m sorry but I don’t understand what you mean” and she said “when my time comes around, limmy jimmy in the cold dark earth” 😂😭

Safe to say Work Song will never be listened to the same again.

Taking us straight to church

Edit:
- of course this is a critique of the church, and also the whole song has verse after verse of smut in service of that message
- of course he is not gay, but we also know he’s an unapologetic ally and artists make art about others experiences all the time
- I’m gay and these lyrics bang okay

MEATY?? High horse??? Whatchu got in the stable?? bffr babes
