Plenty of song lyrics sound awkward without music behind them but his sound like poetry. Such a testament to great songwriting that the lyrics can stand on their own too 10/10

even better sometimes for deep dives to recite lyrics rather than sing them to focus on what it really means especially for this song where the tone and vibes of the song is kind of a misdirect.

My mom’s an English teacher and some of her students chose Hozier’s lyrics as a topic of their Extended Essays. Not only did she make me meet this kids to help them out with their work being one of the biggest Hozier fans, but also became a fan of his work herself. Now she keeps telling her new batch of students to analyse Hozier’s works.

Honey, don’t kid yourself. This frustration has been many generations. As a child of the 60s, I have been fighting my whole life for people to wake the F up. I love the younger generation, because they are finally in a position in time to do something about it. My generation was just a whisper.

Genius was not prepared for this. That whole crew went home in an existential crisis. As they should have.

Love it. The "Seven New Ways That You Can Eat Your Young" also heavily reminds me of Saturn, and how he ended up devouring his own son 😐

As a 20something in America, this song was very cartharic. I know it's not about us but we really are that close to eating our young here while at the same time taking rights away to ensure there are enough young to feed to these billionaires. I have such little hope for mine or my generation's future but songs like this can inspire anger and hope in us. Our only chance is to change things as we come into power and I can only hope it happens sooner than later.

Jealous of his routine, he's been taking such good care of his curls!!

I definitely believe this song can be applied to the current situation about SOGI in the public school system. Children are being used as fighting points for homophobia and transphobia under the guise of "protecting them" when its really a guise to promote hateful rhetoric. Same could be said for the anti-abortion laws in the states. This man is a genius

The power of poetry, and his, Neves cease to impress me.

Already knew this song was brilliant, but this explanation has given an extra layers of depth

Everyone needs to watch this video. Hozier is a lyrical genius.

I always liked the lyrics to this song hearing them like this gives me an even more profound appreciation of them

the first time I heard this song I went 'oh! a modest proposal' and its awesome to hear him mention it too. i love stuff like that

Genius hosting a lyrical genius

I want Hozier to narrate everything in my life I mean it feel like event with the most simple word his voice would make it sound so beautiful

Even after the explanation, this song drips of the Titan Chronos and his fateful children. Amazing work.

went over here to check for the old one , saw this one uploaded

Lock him in this room (lovingly) till he has explained each one of this songs 🙏

I appreciate your explanation so much! I'm at a loss with poetry. I've tried for decades and I guess I'm just dense. Thank you truly for the interpretation ❤

I could just look at him forever until I died

He is a very gifted musician, but he is also a true poet. Hearing him read his lyrics sounds so ethereal... He has such an enriching reading-voice! ...

Such an amazing artist

love him sm

In tears. I loved the song but I didn't know quite why. Thank you so much! One of the finest poets of this century!

He is genuinely such an amazing poet and lyricist

Wild after seeing this to remember that backpack kid and gabbie hannah also have videos on this channel

gosh this man is a poet in its truest form. we need a playlist!! :)

I love how he links classics like A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift to the current political landscape in such a creative way!! I so admire his gifts!!

Couldn't help but think about Jonathan's Swift's A Modest Proposal since I heard the song! And Hozier mentioned the satirical essay by the end of the video!

His lyrics need to be properly printed as books, poetry collections... and sold on bookshelves...

What really impress me most about Hozier is that he is still so young but is so reflective and wise. We usually associate wisdom with age and life experience. And he is always genuine, kind and humble. But at the same time has the courage and honesty to stand up for what he believes in and expresses his beliefs in words, deeds, and music. He is a walking example for his values. There are people who don't like him and mock his lyrics. But these people can criticise all they like. One thing they can never accuse him of is him being a phoney or hypocrite. I don't just love the guy. I respect him as a person.

We need more songs!

This is MAJESTIC!

I have such admiration for his abilities this is why we need as humans music and art lyric and prose for those of us who can feel compassion for others and understand that we all need to thrive and be equals

I love this so much

I love this man

I love him❤

love this song even more now

Hits EXTREMELY close to home!

When I listen to this song I always think of an ancient insatiable being softly humming to mask grotesque things it says, luring the world to feed it violence and chaos which are its sustenance. It thrives when we fall

I love the way he reads his lyrics

MORE MORE MORE HOZIER PRETTY PLEASE

While this song is amazing, I need to hear the explanation behind "All Things End". That song is a msterpiece

He is so smart and this song is one of my favorite on the album

i need one of these to each of his songs 😭

DIDNT KNOW WE'D GET EAT YOUR YOUNG TOO OMG THANK YOU

He loves that jacket so much lol

Hozier using Buzzfeed articles to write his songs makes a lot of sense when you know he wrote a song about roadkill on the album

I could listen to him talk all day

I've always thought of the painting, Saturn Devouring His Son by Francisco Goya, when I listen to this song.

i love the song so much

we need more hozier

fell in love watching this video tbh

Whoooooo, I love this song 😍

everyone saying “weird song name”🤨did you watch the video? did you listen to the song…? i mean the context is all there lol

i'm sorry there's two? I need seven more of these videos

I'm so happy I picked up on "A Modest Proposal" through this song. It feels good to be validated by the artist himself

My Lord is so poetic

Alright Hozier is a poetic lyrical genuis of a musical artist of all time and of our time it's that simple!!!!

the talent.
