three years later still PATIENTLY waiting for him to release this banger

[@stella-zd1nz]

this song aged like FINE WINE

[@devinandrews6533]

And just getting more relevant

[@kelsey6968]

Hozier is a class war hero

[@beefyboy49]

Ngl but hozier's background singer owns my heart I love her

[@emeram6929]

Same! She gives me shivers, honestly

[@pinetree7542]

There is something oddly comforting in seeing Hozier sing like that by a piano. Can’t help but picture him in a big cozy living room with a fire place and an old grand piano. You’re slowly falling asleep as he is softly singing about revolution.

[@blueefanta8710]

maybe it’s time for what? time for the revolution? because if so I’m 100% DOWN

[@cgduude]

I would follow Hozier to the Black Gate

[@stella-zd1nz]

this comment sure did age

Ahead of its time

[@boldandbrash1990]

Comrade Hozier

This but unironically

[@GreenMMs100]

I love the hand gesture he gives when he mentions the preachy musicians. He right and he he should just say it

[@n.o.a.w.3264]

OP you gotta enlighten me as I'm a bulb running on fumes. What is he alluding to?

[@elisabethschmerzler963]

GreenMMs100 Hi! I was wondering what you meant by the hand gesture during his mention of preachy musicians. Since I probably am not familiar with the reference because I’m not American, I was wondering if you could explain it’s significance?

[@naturelover9716]

@@elisabethschmerzler963 He's pointing to himself. It's a bit of a self deprecating joke because he's singing about "preachy musicians" while being one himself. Even though several of his songs have meanings rooted in social activism, he's always been reluctant to call himself an activist as he claims that he "just makes noises for a living."

[@szthbnsfprdctn]

@@naturelover9716 no im p sure it's a dismissive wank gesture to show how annoyed he is by preachy musicians

[@GMacAttack5]

@@elisabethschmerzler963 it's not an American thing, it's a British thing, and it symbolizes wankers which is a common British insult

Although many contend You may find hope ascend To mark just how everything changes Whether the temperature highs Or the sea level rising It's all going up but the wages And murdered reporters And talk of hard borders Sky-bound as a heavenly choir Or the stock price in Boeing The screams of the dying Or the skies over Yemen last night It's all going up but the wages And maybe it's time It's all going up but the wages And maybe it's time Don't mention the rent Or the money that's spent Keeping the banks in good health Or ridiculous claims Or the level of blame Pointed to anything else And preachy musicians And those stuck in prison With scarcely enough for a blunt Or the pressure of blood That new hotel in the hood With an oligarch's name on the front It's all going up but the wages And maybe it's time It's all going up but the wages And maybe it's time It's all going up with the bump in the heating bills Even though the city's on fire It's all going up but the wages And maybe it's time Higher and higher and higher Higher and higher and higher Higher and higher and higher Higher and higher and higher Higher and higher and higher Higher and higher and higher It's all going up but the wages And maybe it's time It's all going up but the wages And maybe it's time It's all going up with the bump in the heating bills Even though the city's on fire It's all going up but the wages And maybe it's time

OMG thank you for this.

[@louisemuir1492]

THANK YOU I couldn't figure out like 2 lines and it was annoying me to no end 💗💘💖💕

[@jocelynshepherd3347]

Don’t mind me singing this in the shower

[@samlove4108]

Hey I think it's "for scarcely enough for a blunt" not "with scarcely enough for a blunt" as in "they were arrested for possession of scarcely enough for a blunt."

[@wesley_and_mr_blue]

legend lol

[@LuthiLuthi]

Gosh, this man, this song, this band, THIS EVERYTHING.

[@Furiousa96]

I hope he releases this song soon, I absolutely love it

[@kelliciaaa]

When I was there, I thought he said an Olive Gardens name on the front haha. I love Hozier!

[@Nyxie007]

Annasazi I would def stay at an Olive Garden hotel. Instead of a mint, they leave breadsticks on your pillows. It sounds amazing.

[@purpledragon565]

Really hope this is on the new album

[@radish-xd6zz]

We need to add this to the little red song book 💕

[@malihamanal8102]

[@ashleighcranford3541]

My favorite part of this song is Hozier calling his own song masturbatory.

[@lieselotteramakers7855]
