As a major, long-time Hozier fan (who is also a former English major and old enough to be his mother), I really want to thank you for this post and to co-sign everything you say here. Kudos kudos kudos!

Thank you for this! It really bothers me how people water down hozier's work, especially when he puts so much meaning and intention on every lyric. Seeing someone actually analysing his song in depth and calling out some people's lack of reading compreention it's so refreshing. Like, the curtains are not just blue guys, maybe let's not take everything so literally all the time, please.

thank you!! he's one of my favorites and his lyrics are so rich, even in one of his simpler narratives like Too Sweet there's always so much to explore! glad im not the only one made a little bonkers by this 😅

I really like this article and I appreciate seeing it written down. I just want to say that I've been a long-time Hozier hater and I think this is all very funny. I just wish it was done without the deep cultural cost it comes with.
