Hey guys! I don't post on here much, but I thought this feed might appreciate it.

This is my Hozier themed tattoo that I just finished Monday. Has a lot of Work Song in it for me along with other little easter eggs added in.

I love it and thought you guys might too!

Angel small death- explores the toxic, intoxicating parallel between a dysfunctional, intense romantic relationship and drug addiction

Take me to church- emphasizing raw, physical, and emotional intimacy over dogmatic, condemning doctrine

Work song - death can’t take me away from love

Aryatins lullaby- embracing one's dark, destructive, or intense inner "demons" rather than trying to suppress them

Shrike- The lyrics express regret over a past relationship, where the singer feels they failed to appreciate their partner

Eat your Young- a dark, satirical commentary on societal greed, capitalism, and the exploitation of future generations by the current one

All things end- accepting the inevitable conclusion of relationships and life, transitioning from heartbreak to a sense of relief and peace

Through me- a pandemic-era reflection on finding strength and resilience amidst overwhelming grief, loss, and chaos.

Unknown- betrayal by someone trusted

Francesca- unconditional, rebellious love

Jackie and Wilson- feeling lost, lonely, and desperately idealizing a stranger or brief fling as a "cure" for oneself

Someone new- explores the fleeting, daily experience of falling in love with strangers as a form of emotional escapism and distraction from life's hardships.

To be alone- explores the intensity of finding solace and humanity in an intimate, private relationship, particularly when loving a "damaged" person in a relentless modern world,

From Eden-perhaps toxic pursuit of someone who is not entirely available or who is viewed as "pure".

In a week- something happy

Sedated- explores themes of escapism, numbness, and toxic dependency, using metaphors of addiction to describe a desperate longing for connection in a draining world.

It will come back- the inability to resist a toxic, addictive relationship, framed as a warning to a lover to not show mercy

Foreigner God- feeling like an outsider within one's own culture or relationship, grappling with distant, unfamiliar, or inherited values

Almost- describe the feeling of nostalgia and healing

Movement- soulful, metaphorical ode to admiration and the captivating power of a lover's movement, portraying them as an inspiring, almost divine, force

No plan- embraces the lack of a predetermined purpose or afterlife

Nobody- limitations of love between flawed people
As it was- a haunting, nostalgic song about returning to a love

Talk- a song about the intoxicating, irrational nature of love and the, at times, deceptive nature of romantic pursuit

Dinner- explores the frustration of enduring tedious, polite social engagements ("dinner") and harsh, critical, or boring conversations ("diatribes") while craving, instead, the company of a romantic interest

Would that I- explores the transition from past romances to a new, all-consuming love

Sunlight- explores the overwhelming, dangerous, and intoxicating nature of love, comparing a beloved to a burning, divine sun

Wasteland- love song about finding hope, intimacy, and humanity in the face of an apocalyptic, "end of the world" scenario

Anything but- deceptive, upbeat track from Unreal Unearth that explores the 8th Circle of Hell (Fraud), representing a desperate desire to create distance from a partner

First Light- symbolizing the end of a long, dark journey through hardship and personal turmoil

Abstract- a reflective song about memory, trauma, and finding gentle beauty in the inevitability of death

To someone from - explores the, intimate, and often difficult, merging of two people from vastly different backgrounds—one cold, one warm—as they build a life togethe

Butchered tongue- gut-wrenching lament exploring the violent suppression of indigenous languages and cultures

Fare well- chaotic journey toward recovery, blending the desire for personal joy with a cynical acceptance of past traumas

Empire now- explores themes of anti-colonialism, revolution, and the fall of the British Empire

July- explores themes of hope, longing, and emotional survival (COVID)

That you are - explores a deep, spiritual, and all-encompassing love that makes the mundane, modern world feel cold and isolated by comparison

Why would you be loved- explores the vulnerability, risk, and ultimate questioning of worthiness within a romantic relationship, likely in a turbulent or uncertain context.

Silence song- enjoying physical intimacy

NFWMB- portrays a relationship where the partner is a terrifying, powerful force of nature, inverting traditional protector roles

Me and my partner thinking of Jackie and Wilson as we both love it. But are the lyrics about the protagonist dreaming of a love that leaves?

Unclear.

But is is a bop - defo prefer the upbeat mood for first dance

What do you guys think?? And what other Hozier songs would you choose for a first dance?

Haven't even played the game but this lyric is everything to me. Also rib tattoo not as bad as its made out to be, sore but this was literary my first and I just got through it.

I just recently went through a dark place in my life and music has always helped soothed my soul. In search for something to listen to I came across some of his music…the only song of his I knew was TMTC which I liked when it came out…but knew nothing of his library of music. I’ve liked most every one, some I had to listen to several times before it resonated with me.

His band is amazing though I’m sure it changes over time. It seems his drummer and keyboardist have been constants. I think it’s Alex?that plays guitar and fiddle is amazing and I hope he never leaves! The way they blend all their voices, not only in song, and the percussion with hands is so organic…no instruments needed.

Also why do you think more of his songs haven’t made it on the billboards? He uses great poetic prose and his writing is beautiful. I’m in the states so maybe it’s different in other Countries?

My solo for my last ever high school choir concert. Only the seniors get solos, and I was one of the few picked so I wanted to do something that mattered to me. This is my favorite song of all time, and I had such a blast performing it. I’m going to music school next year and I’m so excited!!

Does anyone have a guess when Hozier will release the songs from his unearth tour? I’ve only found live performances from the 2014 album. Thank you!

I checked my look back today and imagine my confusion. It rightfully says that I created an account in 2011, it also says that I listened to my first song in 2017 and the song was Shrike by Hozier. Couple issues with that, I one hundred percent listened to things before that, and how the heck did I listen to Shrike two years before it was released?!

I decided to make my graduation cap Wasteland, Baby! (my favorite album) themed!!! This is how it’s going so far and i might add lace in the borders, i’m open to any suggestions, and i really love how its turning out hehe 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

in the last slide i added the inspiration i got from pinterest, i hope whoever made it doesnt mind me taking inspo from it!! comment if you’re that person

Can we please put them all in the megathread? That’s all I’m seeing in my feed right now.

Art is transformation

I love that hozier's liked this as well

I love how the mood of the songs changes in the acoustic versions... perhaps a more intimate atmosphere? Also, the music videos were filmed in such picturesque locations. For example, "Like Peaple Do" in Lough Dan or "To Be Alone" in the collage for the post (does anyone know what ruins these are and where exactly?)

Maybe you have your own favorite versions? Feel free to write them below.

A wedding in a grove with Hozier music for the queues and our officiant was none other than Hozier himself. Still can’t believe this day was real.

I went to one of his concerts a little bit ago and really want to get a tattoo dedicated to his music, any ideas or things you guys did? Thanks!

Would That I is so damn beautiful.

just vibes, have a good day 👍🏽👍🏽

I want to share a couple songs with a friend who’s never listened to Hozier.
This friend is in her mid 70’s and all I know about her musical tastes is that she was shocked when I said I don’t like jazz, and she is a HUGE fan of Bad Bunny. She’s also along time supporter of the Puerto Rican independence movement and a long time leftist revolutionary. I want to pick maybe 3 songs to share with her. Suggestions?

Quite clumsy but it's just for the enjoyment of playing this song.

This has been out of stock for a while and popped back up!

Anyone notice the use of Take me to church in the episode? At 7:52 Take me to church plays in the background of a Homelander propaganda video. Hilarious, in the context of the show, to think Hozier or his team would sign off on that.

Has anyone else caught the use of Hoziers music in any other media?
