monarchy has no real purpose and should be abolished irl but im a slut for royal families in fiction. the politics. the intrigue. families divided by the eyes of a nation. the pressure of children told from birth that they are born to rule, born for only one purpose. the stifling of empathy and real bonds and love. the loneliness when all eyes are on you. it’s so inherently tragic and yet everyone involved is terrible because that’s all they can be. gimme.
🙃 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.
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 civil rights activists from the US and Ireland and a call to follow their path.
Be specifically criticizes anti-migrant policies and Trump and his ilk.
Jackboot Jump is about the global wave of fascism.
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 prioritizes 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.
Edited to add links to lyrics videos for all of the songs. Also, I can’t believe I forgot to mention, Cherry Wine is about domestic violence and all the proceeds go to an org that helps abuse victims, the proceeds from Jackboot Jump go to the NAACP and several other civil rights orgs, and the proceeds from Swan Upon Leda go to repro rights orgs
Hey! This is my tweet! Thanks so much for adding this awesome list and explaining the songs. He doesn’t get enough credit for his political work (as I stated), and I hope this starts a conversation about the kind of artist he is. :)
bbc merlin absolutely deserves to be part of the "most shows ever" pantheon (which includes house md, once upon a time, riverdale, and many others) for a number of reasons, but especially because its premise dares to ask the question: what if king arthur was around the same age as merlin and had a huge crush on him?
whoopi goldberg’s thoughts on marriage “i dont want somebody in my house” is perhaps one of the most profound statements ever. she’s so right. i dont want somebody in my house.
NO FEAR. The actors who played Long John Silver and Captain Flint in Black Sails FULLY ACKOWLEDGE that the Muppet adaptation was the best
