Anonymous asked: do you have feelings about hozier/take me to church/from eden/his whole deal??
Here’s what I wrote about Hozier in 2014
Hozier’s music is this masochistic gospel blues offering to some profane woman-god of whiskey and rough love who probably blows cigarette smoke in the shape of the snake who tempted Eve and I am so here for it.
I essentially stand by it. If we’re going to do the “my significant other is my religion” thing, I want it to be Hozier. He like…gives it a nuance and depth I have hitherto not seen.
From Eden is EXCELLENT and I am very picky about my ficticious depictions of Satan. From Eden is kind of like…the Satan in all of us? The Satan washed up on your front doorstep at 2 am hurting from his own mistakes but not yet ready to ask for forgiveness Like:
Honey, you’re familiar like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword
Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your doorSo long and goodnight, what a verse.
