If I Had A Penny For Everytime Hozier Has Made "bday Gift" Music For Me I'd Have Two Pennies; Which Isn't

"Swarg se utri kokil kanthi apsara"?

Na baba mein toh seedhi saadhi "Narbhakshi Pishachini" hoon.

Does hozier owe the mob money or something? Like this man usually does 4-5 years between albums but we already got an ep after unreal unearth and now we are getting another? Like I’m very happy for more music but like did he sell his soul and now is trying to buy it back or something?

thinking about libraries genuinely makes me want to cry. like that is the pinnacle of humanity right there. we love learning things for their own sake, and we want you to learn it too, in a quiet little place so you can build your own world. the only thing missing is a soup kitchen

लग जा गले कि फिर ये हसीं रात हो न हो

शायद फिर इस जनम में मुलाक़ात हो न हो....

पास आइए कि हम नहीं आएँगे बार-बार

बाँहें गले में डाल के हम रो लें ज़ार-ज़ार...

लग जा गले कि फिर ये हसीं रात हो न हो

शायद फिर इस जनम में मुलाक़ात हो न हो...

फिर आपके नसीब में ये बात हो न हो

शायद फिर इस जनम में मुलाक़ात हो न हो....

When death gently knocks at my door, I want this song to play softly in the background. In that moment, So I know it my time...

The Kolkata case was a well planned revenge crime. The mamata banerjee's government have tampered the evidence and it will make CBI job difficult, I don't know whom they are trying to save, but this case is not what it looks like. I strongly feel that, this was done by some very powerful and influential people. This is the condition of law and order in this country. There is no difference between government and criminals. Our laws are only for rich and powerful, you can purchase anything with money; the laws, the government, the crime, everything! The middle/Lower class is born to suffer in this country. Criminals know that it is easy for them to escape and laws are there to protect them, so even if they do wrong, they will be free. Government knows that people will cry for few days, there will be candle march for few days and after that everything will come back to normal. So, nobody really cares about the weak in this country. It is a brutal crime to have 'HOPE" in a country like India. Our beloved PM Modi ji has not uttered a word on this case because there are no votes or maybe he does not watch news, raga opened his mouth after five days, opposition parties are just blaming eachother (nothing new), I want to ask each of them that women make half of their vote bank, if women of this country collapse, how will your country run?

And, after this horrifying case no man should ask for a female doctor for his wife when she is sick or pregnant. No female officer should give duties and serve in villages away from their home when everything is only about men and for men and by men. It is sick to see the amount of misogyny, patriarchal society and how rarely things have changed. We are still in the same loop, people.

Yesterday, a man tied his wife to bike and dragged her, imagine. This is the fate of women in this country who will celebrate independence day tomorrow. What kind of independence we have? I am woman and I don't feel safe in my house when some male guest visit us, I am told to wear certain kind of clothes inside my own fucking house, I am woman and I feel uncomfortable around men when I go out, I am not free, so it's clear that independence day is only for men, not for women. I ask where a woman should go? Should we hide ourselves in a room? Why do government talk about women empowerment when they can't give basic safety to their citizens. Men need to learn that they can't treat women like trash and get away with it. This is suffocating, death is better than a life that is lived with a constant fear.

Crime against women is crime against humanity.

tomboyism is so funny to me. gender non-conformity for girls is acceptable for like two minutes between the ages of 8 and 10. beyond that it’s appalling and you’re a freak but for those two years…… they could’ve had it all

Saying "Gonna be Nobody's Soldier" instead of "I won't be anybody's soldier" because he won't be a puppet to an oppressive regime but that doesn't mean he will stop fighting for Nobodies, one who war is crushing and killing. Oh my fucking god, what if I ate my hand Andrew

I forgot the word chaos once. If it wasn't for the thesaurus I would have given up a long time ago.

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

What I love about hozier's music is that, to me, a lot of his songs aren't instant hits - instead, they grow on me. And they grow HARD. Often it will take me multiple replays to truly get a song and for things to just click, especially when it comes to the lyrics. I'll be listening to a song I had thought sounded alright but that I hadn't been vibing with completely for the 11th time, and suddendly a specific lyric will sink in and make so much fucking sense, and I will feel that in my soul -- me actively falling in love with it.

"Shrike" was one of those songs for me. I just couldn't really get why so many fans were so attached to that song specifically at first. Or at the first ten times I listened to it. But then at some point, I just became utterly obsessed. And now it's one of my favorites and makes me so emotional? It's crazy.

Are all hozier songs enchanted? Is he casting a spell on me with every listen? Absolutely magical.
