🙃 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.

LISTEN

LISTEN

So in act 3 of BG3 you get access to the Helldusk armor, right? Like you take the breastplate off of Raphael, and yoink the helmet and gloves from elsewhere in his house…

BUT WHERE ARE THE SHOES?!?

TURNS OUT THEY’RE IN THIS CHEST…. At the Foot of Enver Gortash’s stinky little bed!!!

This little shit spent all his time around Raphael, who clearly has control issues; the only thing he took with him were the shoes to a perfect set of armor.

Because armor with mismatched shoes looks dumb.

IMAGINE BEING RAPHAEL thinking: that little shit stole my amazing boots. And you think; he’s probably wearing them right now.

and then

AND THEN YOU SEE HIM WEARING THESE

THE AUDACITY.

Also his parents were cobblers and he now has the world’s ugliest shoes, but keeps some of the best greaves ever made in his toy chest. Double whammy.

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 💀💀

[windsofnotos]

hozier could get up on stage and say the words "capitalism is a flawed and violent system and we need to implement universal socialism" and people would still be like "haha silly little bog man 😂"

[agaymushroom]

The fact that butched tongue is the least listened to song on unreal unearth is very telling.

"You can't got to Zoppot in that!" Peter, a farmer, and Siegfried, a Soldier, WIP. The plumes make Sigi look so much taller but you can see by their shoulders their height difference isn't very big. Gonna do a complex line bg and then colour it. Spontaneous drawings come out much quicker than planned ones.

[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)

[luce-goose]

I just saw Hozier in Sacramento 😭💜

[saiintofawe]

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

[ultimate-hozier-tournament]

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
