Do you write music with the view of being politically active and delivering a message or does it just happen and the rest follows? 

I begging you all to stop calling Hozier a lesbian. The jokes were so funny in the beginning but there's too many of them now. the fact that he's a man, capable of so much love and devotion and to shamelessly sing about it, to own his emotions and thoughts is part of why his work is so important to me. As a bisexual person, one thing I had to destroy was the notion no one will love you as much as a woman, that women have the purest and more intense forms of loving, that a man could never love like that. A man is not inherently less loving for being a man. For the same reasons we've learned to not excuse a man for romanticlly neglecting you because of his AGAB, and demand better of them in our relationships, we cant do that if we dont recognise their ability to feel just as deeply and pass it as some "lesbian soul" bs instead.

not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing (so devoted the lines blur)

I love how different forms of art are all obsessed with each other. A book tries to capture the feeling of music, a painting tries to depict a scene in a book, a song tries to paint a picture. And it's always insufficient. No single form of art can encapsulate another form of art and capture the essence of it – but it tries, and its attempts are impossibly compelling. All the forms of art are in love with each other and spend so much time trying to express what makes the other kinds of art so lovely.

but you can't keep holding on like this.

Apologies for being unable to shut up about Hozier today, but the CBS Mornings interviewer asking him if he made peace with the love and loss that inspired the album and him answering, with, "Yes, he says, as he's welling up." and, "I've made an album. I don't know about peace." 😭

when hozier said “the likes of a darkness so deep that god at the start couldn’t bear” and when hozier said “i’d still know you not being shown you i only need the working of my hands” and when hozier said “some part of me must have died the first time that you called me baby” and when hozier said “i would still be surprised i could find you darling in any life” and when hozier said “heaven is not fit to house a love like you and i” and when hozier said “but if we fall i only pray don’t fall away from me” and when hozier said “you were steering my heart like a wheel in your hands and darling i haven’t felt it since then” and when hozier said “if there was anyone to ever get through this life with their heart still intact they didn’t do it right” and when hozier said “if i was a riptide i wouldn’t take you out” and when hozier said “darling there’s a part of me i’m afraid will always be trapped within an abstract from a moment of my life” and when hozier said “do you know i could break beneath the weight of the goodness love i still carry for you” and when hozier said “darkness always finds you either way it creeps into the corners as the moment fades” and when

hozier how does it feel to drop 11 songs at once and have us devour it like we're discovering music for the first time (we are.)

I really thought about ending it all, all day today. Life feels unbearable and has been for so long.

At 19:30, [...] arrived by train in Porto and decided the first thing he wanted to do was treat me to dinner. He didn't even stop at his house first, straight from the station to mert up with me, just because.

So, with all that spontaneity and affection in the world , we walked around [...], ate kebabs, bought plushies to hug and browsed a bookstore. Not only he decided to buy The 7 Husbands of Evelyn Hugo just because I said it was good, I looked at this book, said I loved flowers and he picked it up to add to the other one he wanted. Only after he paid he gifted it to me, knowing I wouldn't accept unless tricked into it.

I have people that make life worth living, and they're capable of gestures of kindness and affection bigger than any of my doubts. I don't know if I'll enjoy this book or not, but it will always be a wonderful reminder of that.

What I love about the months is that they don't actually mean jack shit. What's the difference between August and September? Nothing. The name, that's all. But they're all blank. They're all in my future. Which means I can try again and again and again, and it doesn't matter if I succeed in October or February because they're all the same. They're all empty, waiting to be lived. I always get to try again.

And I Hope You Live

When Jet said "I think we may all contain a multitude of people. It is only a question of which ones we let out, and for how long,"

i refuse to let glorifying violence and infantilizing kindness be the norm. kindness requires a strength of character and purpose that brutality can only dream of. 

If you have no other option, you will succeed.
