“Imagine being loved by me” THIS MAN KNOWS THE POWER HE HOLDS

This album really puts the “Ho” in “Hozier”

When he says "Imagine being loved by me" he sounded so incredibly smug and you can hear him smiling.

Hozier using Greek Mythology references, the absolute AUDACITY of this man.

This is what a level 20 bard sounds like ladies and gentlemen

Imagine being the person he writes these songs about

this was VERY sexy of you hozier thank you

"Imagine being loved by me" spaghetti is falling out of my pockets and I'm sweating buckets god that's so hot

I'm not sure if I want to seductively lift someone's chin with my finger or have someone seductively lift _my_ chin with _their_ finger and it's a very nice uncertainty

The first verse is pretty much him saying that he'd follow "you" to hell, disobey a god due to his love, and then forgive "you" immediatly for leaving him in hell. Imagine being loved by someone like that

Hozier: Imagine being loved by me Me: Be still my foolish heart, don't ruin this on me

Orpheus and Eurydice is one of my favourite Greek myths, and the depth of the imagery he uses in this song, all tied together with "imagine being loved by me" GOOD LORD I'd risk it all for this tall benevolent sexy bog god

i can’t feel my legs

This is both a declaration of love and horniness, I want both.

“Imagine being loved by me” oh boy.... oh boy oh boy I’m so gay I’m so gay-

‘Imagine being loved by me’ KILL ME.

“I’d be the sweet feeling of release mankind now dreams of, that’s found in the last witness before the wave hits ..... imagine being loved by me.” *I’M SORRY, WHAT?!*

I feel like we’re seeing a much dirtier side to Hozier on this album and My shameless self can’t get enough of it.

“must talk pretty so lovely lady won’t know I have carnal desires ever at all” our lesbian king returns in full force wow

The Greek mythology, the talk refined, the ''imagine being loved by me".. this man will be the death of me

Knew from the first 20 seconds of that guitar riff that this was gonna be good

I'd be the voice that urged Orpheus When her body was found Hey yeah I'd be the choiceless hope in grief That drove him underground Hey yeah I'd be the dreadful need in the devotee That made him turn around Hey yeah And I'd be the immediate forgiveness In Eurydice Imagine being loved by me I won't deny I've got in my mind now All the things we'd do So I'll try to talk refined For fear that you find out How I'm imaginin' you I'd be the last shred of truth In the lost myth of true love Hey yeah I'd be the sweet feeling of relief Mankind now dreams of Hey yeah That's found in the last witness before the wave hits Marvelling at God Hey yeah Before he feels alone one final time And marries the sea Imagine being loved by me I won't deny I've got in my mind now All the things I would do So I'll try to talk refined For fear that you find out How I'm imaginin' you I won't deny I've got in my mind now All the things we could do So I'll try to talk refined For fear that you find out How I'm imaginin' you

Y'all if this song isn't played in my funeral, I ain't dying. If this song isn't played while I'm declaring my love, I ain't loving.

His new album makes me want to grow a beard wear a leather jacket and pick a fight over my baby and wear a dainty dress and run around in a forest waiting for the end, all at the same time.

My new kink is playing Wasteland Baby in the background while listening to Hozier speak about the artistry behind the album on a different device at the same time.

Suddenly I'm pregnant

“Imagine being loved by me” SWEET BABY JESUS THIS ENTIRE COMMUNITY IS THIRSTY

Hozier is one of my favorite artists, and this is exactly why. He doesn't just make a horny song with shitty lyrics, he writes a horny song with references to Greek mythology and that's probably one of the most hauntingly attractive things I've ever heard in my life.

This song makes me feel things I'm not proud of

The whole Hadestown fandom perked up when they heard him mention Orpheus and Eurydice-

Thank you for making my entire year, Forest Jesus.

He said this is his favorite off the album and also it was originally titled “Talk Refined”.

the added layer of “hey yeah” in the lower octave at 1:57 what the fuck hozier sir you can’t do that

"I won't deny I've got in my mind now All the things I would do So I'll try to talk refined For fear that you find out How I'm imaginin' you." How is ANYONE supposed to top that now??!!? This is the epitome of sexy.

Okay, so from what I understand the poetry in the verses are just talking refined. They do hint at the impulsiveness and irrationality of passionate love. Maybe also the inevitability of it, like death and the end. But the main thing is he's got dirty dirty things in his mind that he'd rather not reveal to the lady...yet!

IT'S NOT JUST SONG, IT'S POETRY!!!

I listened to this whole album for the first time yesterday. I had headphones on and when this started playing... I was unprepared. Probably the most seductive song I've ever heard. I've officially fallen down the Hozier rabbit hole.

Hozier using the story of Orpheus and Eurydice as the first verse is just So Perfect.

Hozier: Imagine being loved by me. Comments Section: Um, what do you think we do EVERY WAKING MOMENT OF OUR FKN LIVES

oh my god what are we gonna do when he performs this live?

This song is the definition of "Talk Nerdy to me"😍

I get back from a romantic dinner last night and my boyfriend say's he's going out for a smoke and I had just put this song on playing and he stood there for about 15 seconds, and he said 'you know what, that can wait' and picked me up and carried me to the bedroom. :D :D :D

"You silver tounged devil, you!"

When his voice gets lower, and softer in the line on Eurydice... Uggh. I love it, like he sounds somehow incredibly sensual, but in a way unsuspecting, as if he ain’t a who’

this song does things™ to me

When he talks refined Dropping Grecian references left and right So you don’t know how he’s imagining you ***ovaries explode***

The literal sexiest thing ever

Dear Hozier's inspiration, whoever you are. I just wanted to remind you that you are the happiest person in the world. Thank you for your existence. Bless you. (Oh, wait you have already been blessed.)

"That's found in the last witness before the wave hits... Marveling at God." Such a powerful line.

The Old Gods are still alive and Hozier is one of them, here to being the world Real Music once again. We don't deserve His gifts to us, but we are ever grateful.

at this point im pretty sure hozier is actually hades

Well, this appeals to my "19th century author who is gay but has to hide it (and still quietly yearns for someone)" aesthetic perfectly. Thank you Hozier, you've made my entire year.

Who’s the one dislike?? I just wanna “talk”

Everything Hozier is just **chef's kiss**

So he's finally confirming what Tumblr has been saying all along, hey Orpheus!

I love it how absolutely nuts everyone is going over "imagine being loved by me" and i can't blame them

I need a 10 hrs version of " imagine being loved by me "

Literally why is this shit so hot

Irish Jesus is back

This song gives me the feeling of falling in love with someone you’re not going to know you’re in love with until it’s too late

Driving through the Wicklow mountain roads with the sunset in the rearview mirror, deer in the distant hills, and this song playing on repeat. Life is good.

I was never one to believe in the concept of having a "favourite song"... ...until I found this one.

This man is the thirstiest fucking forest God I've ever seen in my life. 11/10 absolute perfection tho

this song is so hot breath getting fainter vision getting blurrier heart beating faster

*IMAGINE BEING LOVED BY ME* I do and get called delusional thanks to you 🙏🏻

jesus christ what a sexy record

Hozier: imagine being loved by me Me: oh, I do. Frequently.

“imagine being loved by me” ...the things I thought were so unholy he might take me to church

Bisexuals be out here yearning for both Hozier and the woman he's singing about It's me. I'm the bisexual

there are two kinds of hozier stans; those who thirst for him and those who hear his music and think 'god, what a mood, I also love women' Edit: i need every bi/pan person whos replied to me to know that you're absolutely right and i am a fool

ICONIC. THANK YOU FAE KING

dunno if ya'll saw that wasteland, baby! interview thing but our very own prince of the willow faes over here called himself "a proud peddler of muck" and God am I just shoveling that muck straight into my mouth, thanks treesus x

Uuhh this song got me a little uhh flustered😳

Me: **hears this song** Also me: **googles "Is it possible for someone's voice to get me pregnant?"**

I love how everyone lusts over this poet god, he's Orpheus himself.

im losing my mind is he incapable of making any song that doesnt slap??? he's a god,,

I think Hozier is the modern Orpheus! he’s trying to find his lost lover in this world by sending her messages through his songs, hoping to find her again after he lost her in past life.

He brings us to realization of feelings that mankind never ever knew exists. He feels you, and then he makes you feel. I wonder what's it's like inside that beautiful brain of his!

That’s honestly the sexiest song of the album Even the melody is sensual

Let's get real here for a sec... This is 10000% a strip tease song.

This old woman would give anything to be 30 years younger....just for him (i've never wanted to be younger again before). "imagine being loved by me".... oh lord and lady, yes.

everything in this music screams "I'M FUCKING AMAZING AND I'LL SHOW YOU GUYS"

When he says hey yeaaaaaah

This is hands down my favourite song off the album

One of the most complete music artists in the world

i love when he says 'imagine being loved by me' yes, i do that every day

we should be glad to have lived during His time. A truly gifted Man. And He is so chill!

This is my favorite Hozier song. Absurdly underrated.

The whole song is insanely beautiful but damn, that first verse, imagine being loved like Eurydice was by Orpheus

The soft heyaaa at 1:57 is absolute beauty

This sounds like it would be played in Lucifer

I can't wait to see the music video for this song.

I need a live version of this riiiight nowwww

I would love a Hozier and Lana Del Rey collab. My life will be blessed.

All good songs start with a sexy bass opening

this song absolutely makes me blush

Going with the mentions of Orpheus and Eurydice, I feel like this song is told from the perspective of Hades himself

Every few months I rediscover this album and it truly amazes me how incredible Hozier’s songwriting is. I listen to so many genres but no artist has made me feel this much. I appreciate you

I've finally come to a decision that this shall be the song I'd danced to when I become a stripper.

Oh my lord I just slid off my seat - HIS LORDSHIP RETURNS FULL FORCE, wanting us to imagine him loving us - yes please!
