hello all 🤗 ive been overthinking & listening to hozier (literally me in a nutshell) and so i'm gonna be doing a deep dive on the song talk because it's eating away at me
the thing is, all of hozier's songs can be interpreted differently & thats what people love about them. they can be morphed and personalized depending on who's listening. so i can't say that my thoughts are 100% correct, bc they aren't. it's my personal opinion, so pls bear that in mind
anyway!
the song opens with him explaining the greek myth of orpheus and eurydice — where a man goes into the underworld to bring back his dead wife, trekking all the way down & making a deal w hades, only to lose her a second time by breaking said deal
lots of people focus purely on this verse when they talk abt the song, but i don't think that this is what's important.
like, yes, the way her perceives the controversial myth is interesting blah blah blah, but let's dive into WHY he's talking about it maybe? why he literally retold the story when he usually just briefly mentions myths, expecting us to already know every single greek myth in existence (love him for that even tho it drives me insane when i have to do extensive research just to listen to his music)
see, he myth is only mentioned once throughout the entire song, and it doesn't center on what most people do when the story is brought up. hozier doesn't debate on why orpheus turned around, how eurydice died, what pact he made with hades, etc etc. he simply tells the story for context & focuses on what's most important / why the myth exists in the first place — their love.
not only does he focus on the real, rawness that comes with being in love, but he makes this the entire point of the song. and how he does this, well, that's the real kicker 🥳🥳
he. makes. love. the. narrator.
like WHAT??? he makes LOVE the narrator???
he fucking tells the myth in the perspective of love itself, calling himself (aka the narrator) the voice that brought orpheus to madness when finding his wife's corpse & the grief that drove him into the underworld & the all-consuming devotee that made him break the pact w hades & the reason eurydice forgave him in an instant even though he lost her only chance at life again. LOVE is telling this story and i cannot be convinced otherwise
following this verse of orpheus & eurydice's tale, he says "imagine being loved by me"
he's literally telling you to picture being loved by love itself.
the song goes on to list more examples of where love exists — mankind's obsession with death and sex, needing the "sweet feeling of release" in both of these things despite them seeming to be complete opposites to the naked eye.
and! this further pushes the ideals that love can be brutal and raw (death) whilst simultaneously being sweet and intimate (sex).
also "i'd be the last shred of truth in the lost myth of true love" is basically saying that genuine love is rarely found anymore, nigh impossible in its manmade divinity. he says that the thing keeping that one last thread from breaking — which would cause love to be completely lost to the world — is love itself. HIM.
and then he goes on to repeat that line after each example he gives. "imagine being loved by me", saying that despite the pain and grief and awful truth that comes with loving someone, everyone craves it in spite of the inevitable & will forever search for something as genuine as the love that orpheus and eurydice had. even though it's a tragedy, it's what we all want, right?
in conclusion, idk if i want to strangle or kiss andrew for creating this song

When Hozier said "even when you're not aiming to tell a story, you're telling a story" and when he said "the relationship that a person has with the work is down to them, and also what it helps them through ultimately is still work that they've done" and when he said "to open the set with a few words of Irish and hear a crowd singing that back, on the other side of the planet, singing words in a language that was, for a time, illegal in my own country...that is a special thing" and when he said "history is being told in the very way we construct sentences"

"And to men, also, just be wary of any mentality that would make cattle or make vessels of women. Because that same mentality will make machines and tools of you, and make monsters of you."

Why Would You Be Loved is the anti-No Plan. They're in conversation with each other.
One asks "why would you love and care and create and try to help others when there is always going to be suffering and pain and the death of everything?"
And the other asks "why would you wallow in the suffering and pain and death when you could love? everything is going to end anyway."

something something Hozier saying "If I wanted to make a fucking pop song, I would." years ago, Too Sweet becoming his first #1, and then he hurriedly releases Nobody's Soldier (anti war-profiteering song) as a palette cleanser

i am a big believer in letting music (and other media) come to you when you're ready for it. you may only know vaguely of an acclaimed beloved artist and suspect that you'd be into them but just... not ever get around to it. and then in 15 years one of their songs just hits you the right way and what a gift to suddenly have all of their works to explore! there is no hurry; what is good is always good.
