Hell, at Least According to Hozier, Never Sounded Sweeter (Vanity Fair)

On the eve of his return to the spotlight, the Irish crooner mulls over Ovid, 'Inferno,' and his status as the internet's forest king.

The track “Through Me (The Flood)” draws specifically from the passage where Beatrice comes in to help, which he swears is a scene that’s as funny as it is lyrical. “It is impossible to rise to all atrocity and hold space,” he says finally. every idea I had been working on up until that point, it just felt like the world changed, and things became life and death very quickly.” As much as his career has been defined by singing out societal concerns—recall that “Take Me to Church” criticized the Catholic institution (not that it prevented the Vatican from apparently inquiring unsuccessfully, at one point, for Hozier to come perform it: “The song obviously was taken on face value by a lot of people,” he adds dryly)—and as vividly as his last album, Wasteland, Baby!, ruminated on the idea of armageddon, that particular state of the world made him feel more like crumbling than making music.

With a knack for writing songs with skill and oompf, Hozier has given fans more to love him for with his new EP, 'Eat Your Young'

I just find that really, really interesting and really incredible that human beings are drawn to the same sort of intervals and the same sort of notes. I have a new, fantastic group of musicians that I’m going to be taking on the road. But, it’s incredible even just to start a morning and put on music and how much that changes my day. I was singing with a number of choirs around that time, both in and outside the college. “Through Me” also, getting to watch Jeff Giddy just play—he’s an incredible guitar player, incredible musician, so getting to watch him do his thing and shape the sort of production on that song in that very classic way, and watching it happen was really fun. I think it can offer a space for people to reflect, and it’s people who can have an impact. I know how gross it can be to change linens or clean a shower, so I try to remember just how taxing that job can be. From 16 onwards is when I started to begin thinking seriously about music being a part of my life and part of my identity. I’d love to say I have a great mind for theory, but I really didn’t. I could spend a lot of time alone, which was nice. It was a place I was very much at peace in. Some of my early ambitions for actually wanting to release music, as opposed to just singing to myself or writing music and engaging with it in a private way, was watching and looking up to other Irish musicians—other contemporary Irish songwriters.

The Irish singer-songwriter's new EP Eat Your Young is out on St. Patrick's Day, which also happens to be his birthday.

Oct. For me, I would just love that music to at least bear witness in some truthful way as best it can to what it's like to live in its own moment in time. Why is it important to you to keep writing songs like that? The only thing you lose is the freedom to swing at an idea, miss, and no one recognizing that you swung and missed, you know what I mean? I don't think I have too much of a big, larger-than-life persona. You once said you believe all musicians are narcissists. But with that [song], I just had that in my head, what I was going through at the time. Does a song like that come about after you've sat in your feelings for a little bit, or is it more reactionary? "Eat Your Young" and "All Things End" were actually much later into the session. During the press cycle for your last album, you said you were already working on new music. That really helped, I was incredibly fortunate to be where I was. Then there's author [Sally Rooney](https://people.com/tv/conversations-with-friends-teaser-shows-insanely-risky-affair-joe-alwyn/), whose novels have been adapted into buzzy TV shows across the pond.
