Hozier's first, self titled album really spoke to me.
Im always in awe with how he writes, especially about love. I think my favourite on here is "Work song". His perspective and the way he words himself so beautifully: "When my time comes around, lay me gently in the cold dark earth. No grave can hold my body down, I'll crawl home to her" This is one of the most romantic things I've heard. He wouldn't even let death hold him back from being with her. ... read more

This album ALWAYSS hits!!! The topics of drugs, love and death often catch my eye, or well, ears.

His songs are truly beautiful. When i listen to this album, i get a certain sad but warm feeling, which i can't quite explain.
