I always come away from Hozier music with a reading list of poetry and literature. Thank you, Andrew, for thr broadened horizons and reading lists that never fail to inspire my darkest corners of creation

I think De Selby Pt 1 is among the greatest songs of all time. How he taps into the soul there is beyond words. People in 1000 years time will still be talking about this song, that’s how powerful it is🙏

I honestly have to say that I have been waiting with baited breath for this new Album. and after spending the morning here in sunny Johannesburg South Africa, I have come to the realization that you are my favorite Male musician/artist. It's you Hozier and Florence and the Machine, now imagine that as a collab. In a perfect world, that collaboration would come to South Africa to play a few shows! I Absolutely love the new album. Thank you for singing to my soul today.

I’ve never seen ANYTHING before that has my birth name in or on it, so imagine my surprise when Hozier releases not one but two songs with Selby as part of the name!! My family is Irish and Scottish and I always knew it was an old family name, but it never really set in the history it has ❤ So excited to listen to the whole album!!!

Idk I don’t think doing hallucinogenic drugs is necessary to get into this line of thinking. I feel like these themes are explored in most philosophy classes (I had to take one as a context credit in my first year of uni lol).

@studiocelestedesign 8 місяців тому

Haha! Possibly he took some form of plant medicine last year away on a vacation he mentioned, (possibly not) but he's also always approached the world in this same thoughtful cerebral curious and poetric way where things are deeply considered, thoughts are experienced through finding your own connections (not merely reading someone else's thoughts), and conclusions are delightfully sampled, tasted and arrived at. As an artist, he's not one to walk around the world half in a coma, eyes shut to all the delights (and horrors) to be seen and understood, when they are infinite in amount. Meaning and intent is a very important anchor to an artist in general, and he carefully and deliberately crafts his work with things that may provide reflection, or be useful, or are buoyant, or provide a collective understanding of our shared place in the strange zeitgeist we find ourselves in. I think the fact that he's Irish also means that he's been encouraged to think poetically and actively about things in general, and to find great reverence for, and meaning in the Arts, more especially literature and poetry. That tiny astounding country of just 5 million has a rich legacy of finding meaning and value through the land, music and storytelling. ;) But yeah, this guy-- he's lovely hey? :)
