#jackboot jump

🙃 Regular reminder that while Hozier has amazing love songs, he is ALSO very outspoken about his leftist politics, specifically anti-fascism, anti-racism, reproductive rights, Palestinian rights and more.

Take Me To Church and Foreigner’s God are scathing critiques of organized religion, specifically the Catholic Church and the colonization of Ireland.

Moment’s Silence is about oral sex but it’s ALSO about how that specific sexual act is often distorted to a show of power rather than that of love.

Nina Cried Power is an homage to various (mostly Black) civil rights activists from the US and Ireland and a call to follow their path.

Be criticizes anti-migrant policies and Trump and his ilk.

Jackboot Jump is about the global wave of fascism and about protest and resistance.

Swan Upon Leda is about reproductive rights and the violent colonial oppression of Ireland and Palestine.

Eat Your Young is about the ruinous way the 1%/capitalism and arms dealers prioritize short-term profit over everything else to the detriment of the youth/99%

Butchered Tongue is about Irish and other indigenous languages being suppressed and erased by imperial powers.

If any of the above surprised you, please, please delve deeper into Hozier’s music, you’re missing such an important part of his work.

You know, something gives me the feeling that maybe you’re not as much a fan of his music as you think you are.

Hozier - Jackboot Jump (Live)

❝ At Standing Rock the Jackboot Jump you'd swear was all the rage whether tearing up old treaties or just tearing up the place ❞

[edscuntyeyeshadow]

it annoys me quite a bit when certain people reduce hozier’s music to ✨cottagecore vibes ✨like I’m begging you please listen to jackboot jump or but the wages or butchered tongue, not just would that i 💀💀

[ihavea-natural-curiosity]

it frustrates me to no end that only Hoziers love songs (mostly the “love” songs but that’s another issue for another day) ever get popular, and when his protest/call to action/social commentary songs do get popular, they get misinterpreted to HELL. (god i love Take Me To Church but holy shit that’s NOT A CHRISTIAN SONG AKDBEB) (and honestly his “love” songs also get misinterpreted too but again, different day)

it’s lead to this public view of him mostly being that he’s some forest dweller who only writes love songs to his human lover. his most social commentary songs are the least popular, which i know happens to every artist ever, but it just irks me especially with him, especially because he’s becoming more mainstream and more people are being dumb about his songs

so, anyway, here are some of my favorite of his commentary/protest songs, i urge you to listen!!

oh and here’s the speech he made at Ruoff on May 28th, filmed by me!

(here’s my release order Hozier playlist too)

hozier could write Das Kapital and the communist manifesto but marx couldn't write any of hozier's most political songs

Propaganda under the cut

Jackboot Jump:

someone on tumblr said that this was his least streamed song and that’s criminal. this song is really stripping away the metaphors and subtext and just stating outright what’s wrong with the world. specifically government censorship and military violence. plus double check this but i think all proceeds are donated to blm!!

NFWMB

literally the hozier song everrrrr, shits MAGICAL

[digitalbeasts]

but the jackboot only jumps down on people standing up // so you know good things are happening when the jackboot needs to jump

[oxymoronicdumbass]

If I were Hozier and I wrote a song like Nina Cried Power and then people tried to reduce me to the “Too Sweet/sex song guy” I would genuinely lose my shit

[kacievvbbbb]

Hozier said this;

And honestly sometimes it’s all that keeps me going

[chronicowboy]

if jackboot jump has a million fans, then I'm one of them. if jackboot jump has one fan, then i'm THAT ONE. if jackboot jump has no fans, that means i'm no longer alive. if the world is against jackboot jump, then i'm against the entire world.

Fucking hell hozier

No need to go that hard

[thisphantomlife]

“It’s always corporate infrastructure over the structure of your face” Jackboot Jump doesn’t get discussed enough

[poppy-in-the-woods]

Where's the studio version of Jackboot Jump, Andrew?? We need it!

[the-torchwood-magician]

Jackboot Jump and Nina Cried Power you'll always have my heart

[jerzwriter]

One of his most highly underrated songs.
