First Light - Hozier

art + lemony snicket

This song is such an experience. I didn't know what it was about originally. But the emotion in the singing and just wow.

I almost cried. Songs NEVER make me cry. I love this song so much, it instantly became a favorite.

If you haven't listened to it.

You need to NOW.

Trust me, you won't regret it.

Me:

been reading some morpheus x reader and it reminded me of this

Lyrics

I'd be the voice that urged Orpheus When her body was found (hey ya) I'd be the choiceless hope in grief That drove him underground (hey ya) I'd be the dreadful need in the devotee That made him turn around (hey ya) And I'd be the immediate forgiveness In Eurydice Imagine being loved by me!

I won't deny I've got in my mind now all the things we'd do So I'll try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I'm imaginin' you

I'd be the last shred of truth In the lost myth of true love (hey ya) I'd be the sweet feeling of release Mankind now dreams of (hey ya) That's found in the last witness Before the wave hits Marvelling at God (hey ya) Before he feels alone One final time And marries the sea Imagine being loved by me

I won't deny I've got in my mind now all the things I would do So I'll try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I'm imaginin' you I won't deny I've got in my mind now all the things we could do So I'll try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I'm imaginin' you

What is it like loving a being that is not only an individual but the personification of humanity's unconscious? In him is every archetype, the tools for every story ever told.

And he would love you with all of them.
