Take Me To Church is a masterpiece, I know. And it’s true it can be interpreted as a male lover anthem of liberty from the oppression of church and religious organizations.

But the song isn’t about homosexual relationships. It’s about sex; sexuality. And bringing down that weight of shame that church has place on people by undermining that very natural part of the human experience.

It’s true that homosexual people are the most affected by this, but as a whole, Hozier doesn’t write about gay people specifically.

The music video wasn’t even directed or conceived by him. And it’s about something that was going on in Russia.

Hozier supports LGBT+ rights, true.

Hozier’s songs are about LGBT+ people, false.

He’s not gay, he’s said it in interviews before and always writes about a female lover.

He’s just an marvelous artist that stands for his ideals and writes tune that can be interpreted by every single fucking person.

So please, let’s stylish our jets here and stop the shit.

Hello there.

I’m not sure where

A muddy cobblestone track weaves its way through half-dead wildflowers, leading you to the lip of a forest. You take your first steps onto the damp earth, obey to the mellow crunch of leaves and twigs beneath your feet. The forest seems to inhale and exhale with every step you take. Robins perched in the branches watch you with beady, still eyes. You permit the fog to lead you along a path blanketed by moss. You know there is something alive about this place, sentient and knowing, beckoning you to a place unknown, but wanted. No, not wanted – needed, desperately, leaving you gasping and thirsty.

Girthy church bells bellow in the distance, beckoning you further into the endless greenery. What you’re searching for is so close. You can feel it.

Suddenly, the trees part their branches. You are Moses, drawing back the Red Sea to expose a dark private. It’s then that you see it: a cathedral as tall as heaven with stained glass windows and grey stone that blends into the endless sky above. Within its wooden doors stands a miss. You know her from your dreams. She is ideal. She smiles at you with the softness of a late spring evening and extends her hand to you.

And then, a voice in

When a song freak (lover) like me finds out that one of her favourite musicians is coming to her town and that there are still some tickets available, even though they apparently had already been available on the internet for a while, it is time for a party, and of course a new article to put the artist and his work in the spotlight.

Another reason for writing about this artist is to make sure this man will not disappear after one great strike. That one song made him famous for noticeable reasons; it is astounding, and certainly worth taking a closer look at, but it is most definitely not his only piece of art.

About two years ago, I started listening to the melody of Andrew Hozier-Byrne, mainly recognizable as “Hozier”. This-26-year-old humble and down-to-earth guy from Ireland became enormously eminent in the last two years. In those two years he has toured around the world and in 2015 he even won the Song of the Year award for “Take Me To Church” at the BBC Melody Awards. It was that song that I heard on the radio two years ago, when it had just been released. I loved it, but somehow I did not come into contact with more songs of his until September

Accidental Sapphic Icon Hozier Stands With His LGBTQI+ Fans

A not many days before his 33rd birthday, Andrew Hozier-Byrne is in the woods. 

From the second we meet, both clad in leather jackets and walking fast, we’re immediately talking activism and famous person and how a person can stumble into both. I guide him to a tiny gated sanctuary off the main kingly of southernmost Central Park. I ask him, “How rugged execute you feel?” as we scale the hills and climb up the mossy paths. He’s not sure. 

With two billion streams of his breakthrough 2013 strike “Take Me To Church” on Spotify, and RIAA Diamond certification of the same song — not to mention new harmony plans that include a fresh EP just released this Parade, visuals launching to accompany, and a new album and tour on the horizon — Hozier is a major star. It’s fair to say he’s treasured by millions, with no significant borders when it comes to demographics. But the interesting thing is that his online fandom community is a distinctly, vocally queer one.

Hozier’s online fans see him as one of their own. They call him their “favourite lesbian” according
