Hozier, Hozier, Hozier... Can we just have a moment of appreciation for these lyrics?
Take Me to Church | Hozier
My church offers no absolutes,
she tells me, "worship in the bedroom."
The only heaven I'll be sent to
is when I'm alone with you.
Work Song | Hozier
There's nothing sweeter than my baby,
I never want once from the cherry tree.
Cause my baby's sweet as can be,
She gives me toothaches just from kissing me.
Cherry Wine | Hozier
Her fight and fury is fiery
Oh but she loves, like sleep to the freezing.
Sweet and right and merciful,
I'm all but washed, in the tide of her breathing
From Eden | Hozier
Honey, you're familiar, like my mirror years ago
Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on it's sword
Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know
I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door
The Winemaker's Love Song | Tyler Lyle
If you're reborn in a new life
And some gives you red wine,
Does it taste familiar
But you don't know how to say why?
I've also been listening to the soundtrack from 'The Theory of Everything' recently. It's just so beautiful and so calm and relaxing as just background noise while I'm working. I think my favourite tracks are 'The Theory of Everything', 'The Whirling Ways of Stars That Pass', 'Forces of Attraction' and 'Cambridge, 1963'.
A few other tunes I've been enjoying from this month:

Movie soundtracks are always such a good shout when I'm stuck on what to listen to one week! I saw The Theory of Everything last week and am in love with the soundtrack too. I also wish that certain restaurants had playlists on Spotify because some places have some great music, like I went to Bill's the other day and loved every single song they played but found nothing about a playlist anywhere on the internet! :(

ReplyDeleteBy the way, is this picture taken in Manchester? The place looks familiar.
Aw thaaanks, Kamile! It's actually in Lancaster, which isn't too far from Manchester! I know what you mean though, it has that kind of Manchester hipster vibe xx
DeleteI've pretty much been addicted to Take Me To Church since my sister introduced me to it in a In The Flesh fan video. I never thought to check out Hozier's other songs. I should get on that!

I have only recently found out about Hozier and I can't stop listening to his songs now, his voice is so so beautiful. As I'm writing this, I've been playing Take me to church for about 5 times on repeat, I really like this guy!
