Angel of Small Death and the *Crunchy* Scene
Fun fact: Small death or "La petite mort" is an analogy coined somewhere around 1882 used to describe the sensation of "brief unconsciousness" after an orgasm.
Negrusoiu Razvan:
Suddenly this song's odd sexiness makes so much more sense
I SWEAR I love you for this!
awesome!! been curious
i knew the meaning but didnt know when. do u know by who and where
Negrusoiu Razvan : Wow, awesome. Thank you for that.
The gay agenda is strong in these comments
@Ella Kociba pls-
He’s like Shakespeare with all his analogy’s, I bet in a couple hundred years people will be talking about him and there’s gonna be some kid like me sitting in the back thinking ‘if only you knew’
nah
Ay nobody knows for sure
Walai true
know what if i may ask
@@venusianpearl how dirty all of his songs are
*sad bottom noises*
this.
Shhhhutttt upp
*top laughter*
Conflicted switch screeching
I felt that T^T
Hozier is the only musician ever
to get pegged
hozier’s music: *exists*
lesbians: this is now my property
why is this true. how. 🥸
facts
True
As a lesbian I can confirm that this is accurate
Mine.
something about this song seems so,,, familiar? but so new, at the same time. i adore it.
Scrambled to find this one after hearing a few licks on the blacklist. It's got that southern churchy choir vibe that "take me to church"has so shoulda guessed it was hozier that and of course those great vocals.
as a bisexual my lesbian is coming out in this but I also want to be this woman to a guy
FELT THAT
^^^^THIS
To be an angel of small death or to love an angel of small death, that is the question
Yess 😭
y'all need therapy... and or dick
hozier is obviously the man in a lesbian relationship guys
and Lady Gaga the woman in a mlm relationship
@@AsmoBane e x a c t l y
the point of lesbians is that there’s no man lmfao
do you hear that?
That’s the sound of the joke flying over your head
lets commit crime lol clever joke. which is the funny part?
hozier gets pegged
Good for him
he sure does
This song fucks
finally, some good fucking news
Phoenix Blackblood Are you describing the news or are you saying the type of news?
The way the 'hozier' and the title appear with the rhythm is sooooo satisfying
one of the best unofficial lyric videos i've seen--simple, HQ, on beat. absolutely fantastic. thanks for the upload!
thanks for the kind comment!
then you hvent see much x)
Ikr! I love it way more when lyric videos are simple because it's less distraction.
Saw him in concert!!!!! He was amazing and sure as hell knows how to play guitar!!
Your so lucky 😔
My interpretation of this song is Hozier’s celebration of love and sex, as linked with his other song ‘Take Me To Church’, it explores the pain and pleasure aspect of gay identity.
As in the aforementioned song, Hozier has used the female pronoun to refer to homosexuality as well as his description of ‘my kin’ like the LGBT community being ‘bold’ and ‘boyful’ coining a neologism to describe boyishness which is often related to beauty. “Feeling more human” is very much like Hozier’s line “Only then I am human, only then I am complete.” and the caterpillar to butterfly aspect of them“Shaking the wings of their terrible youths” showing strength growing from pain which is a staple of a community which is widely rejected during youth. The eagerness to join in the community in the second line, “Calling to join them the wretched and joyful” furthers this song’s identity as a celebration of freedom, juxtaposing the “wretched” view from the outsider, and the joyful view of the insider. Showing how differently they define the LGBT community.
“And lease this confusion, I'll wander the concrete
Wonder if better now having survived
Jarring of judgement and reasons defeat”
The character has become unambiguous, he is no longer confused. Pondering how his rejection and judgement has hurt him and also made him stronger. The hate and judgement is confusing to the gay character because to him this is the most natural thing in the world. “Freshly disowned in some frozen devotion.” Referring again to Hozier’s antipathy to parental rejection and religious homophobia on these grounds, describing their faith as frozen and the feeling of abandonment ‘Fresh’ as if still hurting.
However the sexual partner of the Angel of Small Death, as Negrusoiu Razvan pointed out, is a reference to orgasm, is described as having “her arms hard and lean” using the juxtaposition of the female pronoun to show her generally masculine features of being ‘hard and lean’ furthering the idea of a celebration of sex between men. The Codeine scene refers to codeine - a painkiller - a metaphor to suggest making love is a healing aspect, blocking out the pain the character has experienced.
The song is by no mean short on indicators of the pain experienced in rejection and revelation of their gay identity but specifically it is a celebration of something homophobes might label as ‘sordid’ but it is being embraced by the ‘I’ personage. The consensual and willing nature of the sex is emphasised again and again. “no protest from me” “With her sweetened breath, and her tongue so mean” “hooked on her flesh” “The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth I'm alive”
Finally the sexual imagery is unmistakable in the culmination of the pain and pleasure theme in the chorus. “Bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet” defying the popular image of sex being solely negative, and the sweetness of the experience from the perspective of the participant. It encapsulates the pain but also is quick to emphasise this is an intensely pleasurable experience despite the pain.
In conclusion, this song seems to be celebrating the natural, humanising, joyful effect of making love which explains the sexy tone and sensuality as well as the intense emotion of sex from the view of the gay person, examining how the pain and pleasure runs throughout the life of the LGBT community.
That’s a pretty good analysis. Well done!
Whoa.
Thank you for doing that! Your analysis picked up on subtle references and ideas I never would have picked up on it! I hope ur having an awesome day
Whut? Hozier's gay? Apparently I only observe lyrics videos...I really have no idea even what he looks like. But my brain imagination has him looking like a higher testosterone content Russel Brand.
@@rottnlove He looks a bit like an Irish Jesus. He's never disclosed any membership of the LGBT community and co-wrote 'Someone New' with an ex-girlfriend, that doesn't rule out anything, from being Bi to regular old gay with a history. However, his debut hit was Take Me To Church, a condemnation of homophobia (see the video). When interviewed, someone said that many people take Church as a record as his coming out song, and he said “Yes, people do make that assumption (that I am gay), which is fine, but for me I don’t think it’s the point, you know what I mean. It doesn’t come into it what my sexual orientation is,”
“Regardless of the sexual orientation behind a relationship, it is still a relationship and still love... So people are free to make any assumption they want, it’s grand,” he laughed.
My observations were based on the fact he can make gay songs, Church is a testament to that. He makes songs about self-liberation all the time. And he has shown amazing empathy. In reality, it doesn't matter if he's gay or not, I personally believe he's straight/bi (hardcore ally too) and is very secure in it. This is actually just my interpretation of Hozier's song, and that's alright. It doesn't need to be Hozier's meaning, this is just a meaning and what it means to me. And Hozier would probably support this because he's a very artistically minded individual and he's earned a great deal of respect.
so god damn underrated.....
If only he was more famous than the Kardashians/Jenners, Ariana, Nicki, Beyoncé etc. He has more talent in his little finger than all of them have combined and multiplied by a million
you just named a bunch of female celebrities.. three of them singer/songwriters just like Hosier
+Molly O Callaghan Personally, I think Beyonce does have talent. Her newer stuff I don't particularly care for, but that doesn't mean she isn't talented. Just because you don't care for her doesn't mean she isn't talented.
its HOZIER.
absolutely
"tell me you're gay without telling me you're gay" i listen to hozier is that satisfactory
What a wild introduction I had to, what's probably, the greatest song written so far in the 2010's... Hearing it to the maturation and fruition run-through scene of Momentum Generation was one of the most polarizing points in a movie I can recall in the last 20 years. What a song and what a group of champions the MG was.
listened to this one (1) time and now i'm a lesbian
It's 5am and it's raining outside but i am just sitting here on my bed blessing my ears with this song and admiring the fact that this unbelievably talented man lives on the same planet as me.
It hurts my brain to think about how many people don’t know this song is literally talking about the angel of sex and drugs😂
We don't need to know. It's a grate song and that's why we are here
Well the magic of music is the many different ways one can interpret it.
What else do they think it is? I think everybody recognizes that its something along those lines
@@maryphantomhive7310 that is really beautiful
man it's literally what the title means
The best blend of music and poetry.
I mean...to each his own..but I feel like this song is about substance abuse...it speaks to each aspect of that journey...being tempted by peers to experiment bc they seem to be enjoying it..then the total all consuming nature of it...then getting away and trying to live outside of it only to relapse...and over it all is this personification of addiction as something both sweet and terrible..full of pleasure and malicious intent...an Angel of small death...slowly killing you with gentle kisses
it's not about that at all, it talks about love, sex and overwhelming passion. "small death" is an expression used to describe the momentary unconsciousness one feels after an orgasm
This song is like a shade pinker than magenta. That’s the color I hear with like specks of red
I perceive all his songs with a blueish turquoise colors. This one has some kind of dandelion yellowish tone along with the shades of turquoise which is pretty awesome
I always think this song is like a deep maroonish red with black and splashes of burnt sienna.
It also smells like a burning campfire at 12am
Is nobody talking about those opening lines?? 'Cause wow
@@chastaspringman8810 That most of it is wow, I grant you, but my question stands.
A reminder that music is poetry
I THOUGHT THIS SONG WAS SCARY UNTIL YALL SAID IT WAS ABOUT SEX-
Yuuup. Orgasim means small/little death in French, and codeine is a pain drug, an opioid specifically
hozier: "& the codeine scene"
me: *intense throam flashbacks to that codeine scene*
how did ryden find me here
Is it bad that I straight up just think of myself during this song?
Why would that be bad?
Nah that just tells me that you either peg or get pegged
Same tbh
I mean, the song is about a MLW so don't worry
He is straight, but I don't think he minds the sexuality of who listens to it and related to it :)
I feel like my heart is a part of this song!! So precious
"...Calling to join them
The wretched and joyful
Shaking the wings
Of their terrible youths..."
They lyrics are poetry 😍
It's been 8 yrs of this song and yesterday I played it for my 1yr old cousin.... he was bouncing around excessively. Played it again today, same result. Little man loves Hozier
Heard this song on a peaky blinders tribute video
Alice Kingslee me too
same!!!!
same!!
same
Same!!
Men really do get pegged, huh
Yes, some do.
They sure fuckin do, pal.
and none moreso than hozier
fuck yeah they do
Men👏getting👏pegged👏
I'm at 3% charge. Wish me luck.
Glad to see you're using that battery wisely
Did you make it to the end of the song?
Its been a year. Are you at least to 10% yet?
JazzFest New Orleans 2015 and he opened his set with this song. Chills I tell ya....chills!!!!
8-10 what a time to be alive for me. My parents listened to hozier a lot and this my favorite song.
One day I hope to give off the same passionate energy of this song
2:09 this gituar part smacks honestly
"Oh, and there's a woman..."
BangRez Peaky blinders
"...and for a moment, I HAD FUCKIN EVERYTHING....."
this has to be their song
all i can think of is a badass cowgirl.
when you have straw-blonde hair... this song makes me feel powerful ;)
The way it just rolls in at 2:10
So smooth....
if anyone knows how to depict religious indoctrination and the works in a perfect scenic symphony, it's our man Hozier
holy damn the beat is soooooo wonderful
Type of music to listen to while walking in the middle of the city when it starts to get dark with all the skyscrapers around you...
I love this song when happy 😃
Very well done my friend, this is one of the best.
thank you!
Had to pause at 'toying somewhere between love and abuse' DaMN!
He was at New Orleans JazzFest in 2015 and kicked it off with this song. It was fucking EPIC!!!!!
that second chorus just goes harder every time i listen to it
It’s bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet.
Any •Peaky Blinders• fan here because of the edition for Thomas Shelby?
Best hozier song
All hail a lesbian god, we Stan. It's chill if u don't, there's always kioko and Sapho herself
ESTOU IMPACTADO COM ESSA MUSICA, MUITO BOA MESMO
I...I...thought it was...”sweet-ass” breath
pov: your teacher comes over to look at the computer and sees that youre listening to a song about sex and drugs.
Smooth~ i love the vibes on this one
hozier is the musician ever
Sounds like a song to get into a bar fight to…
Playing this at 1.25 speed made me like the song way more wow
No doubt it's talking about lovers but...I think it's talking about how someone came out and was disowned, but they found someone who is the same sexual orientation and hooked up/moved in. Before they did meet and or the person is reminded of the days they wandered after being disowned unsure if they were going to be able to live while they are having a make out session but now they have a reason to live and that is there lover who gave their life meaning again
Omg this is my ish!
If you play it at 1.25x speed its awesome!!
Nope. Just nope...
When he said codeine I had war flashbacks to getting my wisdom teeth removed
heard this song on code black now im obsessed with it
Justine Marshall same here, love it.
Kim from New Zealand
Justine Marshall saaammmeee
I have broken your theory for I am in fact straight
For now...
@@tabathamoonstone8633 I legit font know...I only have gay friends...but they say I'm the gayest one...idk
you're the kind of straight ally that ends up so very gay, like, so so gay…
I think were the same person…
I just like Hozier's music. I didn't realise there were LGBTQ+ connotations.
@@em12837 it's a misconception actually. He is a MLW so his songs are about that. He just made a video spreading awareness about our LGBTQ problems and people did not read well the lyrics to understand what the song was about and how it has a separate meaning from the video.
I listen to Hozier and I do not think his songs has a queer connotation, though I feel happy he supports us ♡♡♡
Great lyric video, subscriber alert
thanks man! i really hope i'll be able to do more stuff soon
this song is pretty durn cool. :]
This is so good.
These needs to be longer.
hfjjggk everyone here is probably a wlw and im just chillin , a lone mlm
ANYWAYS WHY IS THIS SONG SO SEXY
& I'm just here, a random bi enby 🤷♂️

Good job
seafret did an amazing cover of this
This takes a new meaning with my bleach blonde hair an angel of death tattoo lol
And a tongue piercing
"Lurch like a stray into the arms that were open" *
Wow, can't believe I'm learning drug name from a song. Thanks
Shaking my wings from my youth.... come see me soon lover
This reminds me of a song called no roots
before reading these comments i was not sccared for life
but now...
Great artist
PEAKY BLINDERS!!
O love this song ❤️💘🤩
This might just be me, but The Picture of Dorian Gray vibes anyone???
Omg I'm reading that right now and I thought the same thing!!
I feel like fighting after listening to this idk why
احس انا الوحيده الي لخبطت ايت شي في البحث وطلع لي ذا ولا فهمت منه شي
This sounds like a spiritual and I dig it
reminds me of Hecate
Me and my:Hell yeah. Let's do it!
Getting major the Originals vibes from this song
Rebecca to a t

Hozier made me gay.
I never thought that i would want a man sexually.

Bless Code Black
Hey I love this song but not really sure the meaning could someone explain their point of view?

Fun fact: Small Death or "La Petite Mort" is a French phrase which refers to the moment immediately after an orgasm.
