the whole point of life is just knowing a bunch of weird stuff and being kinda flirty
Unreal Unearth review:
Yeah that fucks
Abstract (Psychopomp) / No Plan / All Things End / Shrike / Francesca/ Wasteland, Baby
Just thinking about the parallels between Francesca+I, Carrion (Icarian) and Sunlight from his last album.
“If I hit a squall allow the ground to find its brutal way to me” with “strap the wings to me, death-trap clad happily with wax melted I’d meet the sea” with “I’d tell them put me back in it, I would do it again, if I could hold you for a minute I’d go through it again.”
Love and devotion and the willingness to be complicit in your own downfall for just one minute with the one you love, to destroy yourself chasing after it, to know that it will end (all things end!) but doing it anyway.
A collection of Hozier being too real:
Who We Are/ Take me to Church/ Arsonist's Lullaby/ Foreigner's god/ Take me to Church/ De Selby (part 2) / It will come back/ To Someone From A Warm Climate (Uiscefhuarithe)
unreal unearth really said that love is both the darkness and the salvation from it and love can both make you feel weightless and like it’s worth the falling and love is both inevitable and choosing to stay in the storm and love is both temporary and everlasting and love is both feeling unknown and knowing someone in the dark and love is both a name and a dream and love is both unholy and like finding god
"I remember the view, streetlights in the dark blue, the moment I knew I'd no choice but to love you."
