Hozier's Hymn to Virgil

“There’s points where Virgil picks Dante up and carries him over certain places, and puts him on the back of beasts who fly him over ravines and all of this fantastical stuff. He holds this guy when he faints and trembles and weeps,” Hozier said. “Dante the living human in this poem is, like, horrified. And then he arrives at the end of it, and Virgil says, ‘Well, I can go no further.’ And Dante, the writer, knows on some level that Virgil is not a man who deserves to be in hell.”

🎵 SONG-TO-GO 🎵

Valentine's Day edition! ❣💕

Conveniently, this Friday is Valentine's Day, and so I'm spicing up your playlists with some Valentine's themed Songs-to-go!

If this is the first time you've heard of it, hello and welcome! Song-To-Go is a weekly song poll released every Friday where I present you with new, lesser-known songs to listen to while you scroll. (I haven't always been great at the 'weekly' part ik)

Choose songs based on the 30-second Spotify snippets if you don’t know them (and I try to make sure there’s always something you won’t know). If you like what you hear, go listen to the full songs, they’re yours to carry along on your scroll!

[latest poll, and playlist of everything so far (in order) and other/future picks]

Whether you're madly in love, heartbroken, needed more time, think your girlfriend's got the face of an angel; voice of a god, stole your girlfriend's shit ex's ride because he was cheating, are writhing in love, learning to let them go, or maybe even shaking ass at a nightclub/sexing to a mean song this Valentine's Day. I got you covered.

I feel putting Fontaines on here is almost unfair, at least in my personal circles. Also, I've gone with Grian's exaggerated portrait of sick and all-consuming love, rather than the seemingly obvious choice, I Love You. But I guess, if you choose to spend Valentine's Day with the proud and glorious nation of Ireland, then go right ahead and use that song. Also the new album is literally called Romance. But I'd urge you to definitely listen to all the rest of the artists on this list too, because Valentine's Day can't be complete with just one song, surely!?

This week, I've got you soulful neo-jazz from Montreal, London indie pop, one of the most devastating new Canadian softer indie (think Boygenius) bands I've heard, new Brazilian riot grrl (though iirc Karen's now moved to the UK so lucky UK folks, you can catch her live), the most poetic and devastating Irish post punk band, beautiful-voiced chill Irish indie rock (though check out her harp work on Emptiness Follows, holy fuck), and London's newest face of indie sleaze 2.0.

As always, tell me what you like, way you’d want to see more of, etc. Happy Valentine's day, I'm putting lyrics under the cut for you, hope you love the tunes! See yous next week. Happy listening!

A handful of handy lyrics for you:

Busty:

Rachel:

(have cried to this one, won't even lie. The pain in her voice when she sings this literally gets me every. single. time. Can't take this song anywhere smh.)

Tiny Horse:

Face of an angel, voice of a god You can have my money and my credit cards

Something about the way that I'm living feels like I'm doing it wrong Baby, you're my new religion and I'm giving it all

This obsession numbs my pain, Getting high off your face

If you want me, I'm yours, You can ride me like a bicycle

Karen:

Fontaines:

Aoifa:

Peace:

a message from a visitor.

I just heard Coco Jones’ new track, Here We Go(Uh Oh), a song definitely for the girls who still aren’t ready to go No Contact with their on again/off again ex. It’s something relatable for the twenty-somethings to screamiing along to in the car as they drive to afters. I did. It relate but I will tell you why that doesn’t matter. Because R&B. Storytelling is back, baby! Paint us picture, Miss Coco.

I really enjoyed the cinematic music video that accompanies the song. She’s going all in on the back half 20th century nostalgia here, with a little bit of everything. The cover art is cute 70s nod. No clue if that’s going to impact the entire album rollout but I’m sat, regardless. Having a retro aesthetic while singing about likes and posts is so anachronistically pleasing to me. She’s such a star and I really like this choice for a single. This track is going to get spins because it is so relatable to so many. Coco is going right up there with SZA and Summer Walker who are actual titans of Female Singer-Songwriters but don’t get the credit they deserve despite the numbers numbering. That is because they’re R&B artists and I encourage you all to go back to listen to them if you haven’t. R&B didn’t stop after your need for middle school slow dances. It’s still here and writers are still crafting stories. Coco is absolutely on that path to being an all-star writer and I’m excited to see her lock into this next phase of her career.

Back to my hope for the song… I believe this song will help keep up the momentum. It’s radio ready, with a classic sample that will drive spins to the original track as well as her own. Here We Go has a verbally stoccato chorus which is fun in R&B bc you can clap 👏🏿 your 👏🏿 hands emphatically along to the words and mean that shit.

By the second chorus I was ready:

🎶I 👏🏿know👏🏿when👏🏿said👏🏿say👏🏿good👏🏿bye👏🏿you👏🏿ain’t 👏🏿mean👏🏿no👏🏿good👏🏿bye👏🏿🎶

It reminded me of the “oh oh oh oh oh’s” in the original track.

Speaking of the Lenny Williams sample: it works. I am one of many who are tired of the lack of artful sample. This, to me, was artful and useful. The song being full length with a verses, choruses, and bridge (silly thing to point out but songs have gotten ridiculously short these days) means the sample comes dangerously close to wearing out its welcome, But it comes in just under the gun. I didn’t get tired of it. Why? Her steady melodies in each verse sail your through nicely and then you smack right into that fun choppy waters of the chorus. When the next verse hits you’re ready for another go. It feels exactly like going round and round with a partner. Come on, musical theme! Come on, melodic device!

This is absolutely my favorite thing about this track. Coco Jones is a super talented young woman. I genuinely hope it’s a hit.

4/5
