Irish singer Hozier made his debut in 2013 and quickly became famous due to his distinctive sound that mixes the blues, soul, folk, and his poetic lyrics. While everyone knows his first hit, “Take Me To Church”, only true Hozier fans know of his incredible and extensive discography. With his third album set to be released in the near future, let’s discuss what your number one pick reveals about you!

Take me to church

The most famous one of the list. If your favorite song is “Take Me To Church”, you’re either a casual listener or a diehard fan from day one, no in between. You probably have a complicated relationship with religion. You like to take your past struggles and redefine them as motivation to grow, and your love language is probably acts of service.

Like real people do

If your favorite is “Like Real People Do”, you’re a hopeless romantic, maybe to a fault. You might think being in a relationship will solve your problems, and when you fall for someone, you fall hard. You’re an introvert that appreciates getting to know someone deeply one-on-one, and you dream of living a peaceful, fulfilling life with those you care for.

someone new

As a fan of “Someone New”, you either are – or want to be – a very positive, extroverted person. You want to travel the world and live as many new experiences as possible. You probably always have a current crush, if not several, and you fall in love very quickly. Warm weather and road trips are a favorite, but you tend to get bored easily.

almost (sweet music)

If you have “Almost (Sweet Music)” on repeat, music is a passion of yours and you’re often described as an “old soul.” You find yourself often trying to create the “perfect experience”, but something’s always missing. There might be a past relationship you’re trying to get over with varying degrees of success. You’re looking for someone who completely understands your little quirks.

shrike

For those who love “Shrike,” you have some regrets in your life that’ve made you somewhat melancholic. You’re a bit of a loner but you’re never truly lonely. You’re very artistic but you tend to judge yourself too hard. You probably have a playlist filled with Phoebe Bridgers and Mitski, and you listen to it for good nighttime cry sessions.

cherry wine

If you love “Cherry Wine”, you’ve had some not so good experiences with love, but you’re working on recognizing your own value. You definitely prefer acoustic versions of songs and, if you play an instrument (which you likely do), this was one of the first songs you learned. You like to fantasize about your wedding and the little things mean a lot to you.

talk

If “Talk” is your number one, you enjoy playing mind games in your relationships, to see if the other person can keep up with you. You’re a huge Greek mythology fan and could talk about it forever. Words of affirmation are your love language and you’d melt if you ever received a love letter. To you, love is all-encompassing and you know you’ll excel at it if given the chance.

movement

For those of you who prefer “Movement”, you’re hypnotized by dancing, and probably practice it as well. You’re attracted to people who carry themselves with grace. You’d love going to the theater, and you’re someone who wants to form deep connections with hobbies and interests.

From eden

If your number one is “From Eden”, you’re very passionate. Literature is a need in your life, and you love digging deeper for the hidden meaning. You’re someone who has done a lot of personal exploration and you’ve become very mature because of it. Familiar things bring you a lot of joy and safety, and you have very strong morals and boundaries.

would that i

Finally, if “Would That I” is your favorite, you are a very big daydreamer. You’ve read a lot of fantasy in your childhood and now you wish you could have your own adventures. You have a deep appreciation for nature and it’s a safe space for you to relax. You’re a big overthinker, but you have a very sweet view on love.

No matter what song you like the most, you can always count on Hozier to deliver some top-tier music. So why not not give your top picks a re-listen while waiting for the third album to drop? Who knows, maybe one of the new songs will become your all time favorite!
