Hozier writing a song about language and the loss of it at the hands of colonialism and how so many indigenous words are used all over the world as place names but so few people know their meanings but at the same time, they mean “home” and how he’s grateful that Gaeilge was preserved and how despite so few people understanding it nowadays it still feels like “home” has me so deeply fucked up I’m weeping
#also the pitch cap references what the British forces did to Irish rebels#in which hot tar was poured over the head as a form of torture#and also the cutting off of ears#Hozier#unreal unearth#CATAGORY 5 FLORIDA JUMPSCARE THOUGH#but that also made me sad#I love gaeilge I’m so happy to be learning it#my great grandmother spoke it some and my great great grandparents were fluent#but by the time it got to my grandmother#it wasn’t viewed as useful for her to know any#Hozier blog
