Beautiful Loser

The guy who wrote UK's song is in the Swedish finals, he must be so proud of himself, I know I would. I'm not sure if he'll win though. And I, as usual, don't really like any of our outtakes this year either. Let's see if we send another cute boy again lol. And it'll be fun to see how many of the songs will be written by Swedes. =P

Less than two days now! "Celebrate the release of Hozier's new album Wasteland, Baby! live from the YouTube Space in New York City."

@@YUNGATA Please.

I think it would be cool if she had like drums a la military march style to build up the song and a rhythm like 24. I don't really think she'd do a song like this though. But I somehow think it'd be cool with an instrumental like that while she hums "Norman fucking Rockwell" somewhere in the chorus, lol. But I guess she'll sing-talk it like in her previous songs. Feels like a safer bet.

I accidentally clicked on the front page on the number of replies this thread has and it tells you how many comments each member has contributed to this thread. Quite shocking that I have like 500+ comments.

I stan all you guys who has the patience to type HIADTFAWLMTH-BIHI instead of hope or Sylvia.

Elmo sneaking behind that bush always makes me laugh lmao those eyes, I- :toofunny:

I had like 27 degrees at 9 AM all July last year and that was hella odd for Sweden. I would've enjoyed it if I wasn't being indoors in a lab all day long, sweating with lab gloves on and feeling the humidity from the basement when the whole town was flooded. I complained like every day lol.

I think a professor at my (previous? current?) uni had that discussion and said that water can be wet but I don't really remember, my memory might be wrong lol

Interesting things from the Q&A on Reddit:

My new earbuds suck but this sounds so dreamy

He just shared a tease of To Noise Making (Sing) - it sounds almost like a pop song to me? https://twitter.com/Hozier/status/1100485652628402176 You don’t have to sing it right Who could call you wrong? Put your emptiness to melody Your awful heart(?) to song You don’t have to sing it nice But, honey, sing it strong At best you’ll find a little remedy At worst, the world will sing along So, honey, sing Sing and sing and sing…

Lana, do something, I've had the same Japanese rap song on repeat for days.

... Just let me have some fun.

My impact.

You can hear Wasteland, Baby! in the background while he unpacks the vinyl. It sounds so soft! I thought it would be harsher. Video: https://twitter.com/Hozier/status/1100425257310187521 https://www.instagram.com/p/BuWdcFfAFbG/ Lyrics: I think a verse can be heard in the video but I can't hear all the words, so I guess I'll have to wait until Friday to hear them And I love too That love soon might end And be known in its aching It's shown in the shaking lately Of my wasteland, baby Be still, my indelible friend You are unbreaking Though quaking Though crazy That's wasteland, baby! He has also shared lyrics of No Plan and Talk Refined on his Instagram.

Wasteland, Baby! will be here in a few days, whoooop!! Anyone else excited?? @@Nobody was kind enough to share a Reddit page with me where you can ask him a question! Thank you! https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/av2p75/hozier_wasteland_baby_ama/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=popheads&utm_content=t1_ehc7x24

I don’t remember her saying much about it than just mentioning the band’s name and I have no idea if she made the reference for only VB or if she had the last three tracks of the album in mind as well. Considering how she mentioned that the album will have “no bangers”, I’m pretty sure we won’t get any RHCP guitar slap and fast paced songs. But it might not have suited her anyway.

Well, I dunno, that was just my speculation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I never tried to guess the tracklist for this album and I know it's kinda boring to discuss (again!) but I wanna give it a try lol. Mariners. It's a good introduction for what the album seems to be about (she says that she feels misunderstood in several songs, as I mentioned some week ago, and this is a good way to start saying that) and the last echoing words seem to fit perfectly as a opener I think. Are we ready for what she's about to tell us? Title track. If it's called Norman Fucking Rockwell just like the album, it feels like it's a good place to put it as the second song, just like Ultraviolence and LFL. Mentioning that people misunderstands her in the previous song, she'll continue with saying that this guy think he's the best in this song. In your car. Feels like a beginning of HIAB's "don't call me a taxi, sitting in your backseat". Happiness is a butterfly. "Don't be a jerk... I just wanna dance with you". While this guy really think he's the best and misunderstands her, she still wants to be with him. New track. Feels like we need a unheard song to keep the interest up. Cinnamon? The synths we heard in the chorus snippet feels too different from HTD and hope/Sylvia and I kind of can't see Cinnamon being too close to them in the tracklist. New track. New track. Yosemite? Bartender? How to disappear? Lana pondering about her current life and state of mind, of her past and what her future might look like. hope is a keyboard smash. A quiet, melancholic song right before those rock influences songs to end the album. New track. The start of the three last songs with a rock undertone. New track. Venice Bitch. The song is slightly chaotic, maybe a summary of the emotions she's been feeling and telling us in this album, and leaves you wanting more with the last notes.

Thank you. Banned for having gorgeous eyes on your signature <3

Banned because that made me confused
