I went to Mexico's first night and a drunk asshole vomited over me during the beginning of this song -- he actually tried to run to the restroom but didn't make it and he actually vomited all over the floor of the place. I saw like 4 people dealing with it.
Anyway, I also had to run to the restrooms, remove my t-shirt (fortunately I had a flannel with me too so I just wore that), ask the cleaning lady for a plastic bag to carry my dirty t-shirt, and clean myself a bit. So, of course, I missed it all.
Fuck that asshole. I hope he's still hungover. He had no business getting that wasted on a Hozier concert.
EDIT: My answer to the question is Who We Are!
That sounds so miserable and unfair. I'm so sorry that happened to you! Here's hoping you get to see Who We Are live someday if you can't somehow start over and hear it again for the first time <3
same for me, specifically the part where the music kicks in right after he says “before the first light”
that or movement, again when the music ramps up. i just really like when songs do that lol
Abstract. My cat passed recently. When the album first came out, before I lost him, Abstract was one of my favorites. Now I can't listen to it without crying.
honestly, any of unreal unearth that wasn't released as a single or EP. when the album released, my best friend and i listened to the entire thing together and it was such a fun experience!! i love all the feelings i felt
if i had to narrow it down to one, i thing i'd like it to be first light or abstract!
De selby part one and two. It was my first time actually listening to one of his albums not just random songs I liked. It was night time, I was outside and it was raining, I had good headphones on and loud. I had goosebumps the entire time. I had zero expectations and it was truly a (current) life changing experience as ive listened to almost nothing else but his discography since. That moment was definitely a unreal feeling (pun intended).
that specific version of Cherry Wine where sings on a field. I felt floating in the air when I first heard it and it was the song that hooked me into his music!
Shrike. It came out when I was going through A Time in college, and I have such vivid memories of laying in my room in the sun listening to it on repeat.
Work Song will always have a place in my heart.
But I must add that hearing the transition from To Be Alone into Dinner & Diatribes live for the first time was absolutely incredible.
Almost (Sweet Music) every time I listen to it I am in awe of how happy it makes me feel, I imagine hearing it for the first time felt like a new kind of high
I agree with first light! The festival where I saw him he did Unknown straight into First Light and it was really something. The other show I went to he seems to have shifted to doing them at different parts of the set so I'm really grateful for the experience.
I heard Would That I live at the Gramercy Theater taping the PBS Front and Center episode before it was released, and I loved it so much. It was a transcendent experience, and I would love to relive it.
Sedated or In A Week.
When I first heard Sedated I was still reeling over the rest of the album that I took it for granted.
In A Week was so beautiful that I feel like I didn't get to fully embrace it lol
i remember texting my friend the first time i heard first light saying this is what plays when you enter heaven. i could literally visualize the bright light sweeping over a field and everything just glowing. absolutely took my breath away
Francesca. Once the guitars and drums get all crazy before the outro.
that was actually my top song on spotify last year. i listened to it around 800 times if i remember correctly lol

Almost (sweet music) it was the first Hozier song I ever heard, and I remembered binging his entire discography that same day.
I had this exact same experience, this will always be a favorite of mine
I, Carrion! Totally had me crying in awe the first time I heard it.
Abstract. My cat passed recently. When the album first came out, before I lost him, Abstract was one of my favorites. Now I can't listen to it without crying.
Unknown. Literally made me cry the first time.
Movement

Who we are, oh my god it's heavenly

Through me
no plan :’)
None. I enjoy hozier songs only after listening to it a few times
Work Song. Basic answer probably, but I’m a hopeless romantic at heart and the lyrics of that one really spoke to me.
Work Song will always have a place in my heart. But I must add that hearing the transition from To Be Alone into Dinner & Diatribes live for the first time was absolutely incredible.
Would that I💛 when I realized what a beautiful and nuanced love song it was I couldn’t get enough!
OOOO O O OOOO O
Would That I. Shit’s magical
Take me to church!
Chopin nocturne no 9
jackie and wilson always. i could never get tired of the song but hearing it for the first time again would fix something in me i fear
First Light is a perfect choice. It still gives me the first listen tingles every single time.
Almost (Sweet Music) every time I listen to it I am in awe of how happy it makes me feel, I imagine hearing it for the first time felt like a new kind of high
Abstract
Abstract, Who We Are, Francesca, First Time :‘)
Definitely In A Week. I remember feeling like I was in a trance when I first heard it. Then came the realization of what the song is about 🤎
Work Song
I wish I could go back and listen to Francesca for the first time again, dude

Jackie and Wilson, the first time I heard it was live and it was an UNREAL experience. I would give both kidneys just to experience that again
I heard Would That I live at the Gramercy Theater taping the PBS Front and Center episode before it was released, and I loved it so much. It was a transcendent experience, and I would love to relive it.
Anything But. I know it’s supposed to be from an unreliable narrator, but it’s just so carefree.

the whole of unreal unearth tbh, but particularly first light, butchered tongue, and son of nyx
in a week, foreigner’s god, would that i
