thinking about Butchered Tongue and Foreigner's God...
This man really made sure at least three songs on this album would inflict irreversible psychic damage on every person listening to it and not necessarily the same three songs, what the fuck
it’s just me and hozier‘s entire discography against the world
with the lyrics "hold me like water, or christ, hold me like a knife" hozier really took the concept of craving intimacy to another level
unreal unearth review: oh my god oh my fucking god what the fuck hello oh shit oh god fuck me fuck fuck fuck how did he do that oh wow oh wow oh wow i feel physically ill don’t text don’t call oh my god what the fuck
Butchered Tongue is so fucking incredible. The kinship between cultures whose languages and identities have been pushed down. The magic of seeing a language and culture survive and thrive in defiance of violence. I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you.
Unreal Unearth is out and I’m very normal about it (lying)
there's something about the way "francesca" represents lust yet is a song declares everlasting love and utmost devotion that stands the trial of time; the way "butchered tongue" represents violence but sounds so careful and fragile, and "unknown/nth" is his most defeated song dedicating to love...i do think unreal unearth is his best album yet, and most private one at that. like there are parts i'm not sure i'm supposed to listen to. self titled sounds so hopeful to wasteland, baby! feels like a promise to this. raucous, forlorn sound of hurt....to end it with first light...that all things end but we'll still have tomorrow and new light to look forward to...even if we've just been through hell...do you get it. do you feel me.
as is tradition, i've updated my: "hozier using terms of endearment on his songs" list.
"baby" remains number one with 9 new additions. he uses "baby" a total of 74 times throughout his entire (released) discography
"darling" was his favourite term this time around with 17 new additions. it went from only 9 to 26 times he used the term in his songs
"love" got 11 new additions. 17 in total
and last but not least he used "honey" one time. so that's 46 times he says "honey" now
