So check out the following tracks that are romantic as ever, with lyrics that mend broken hearts.
Romantic Hozier Songs
Movement
There is nothing more romantic than watching a lover move in a way that inspires art and connection. This song is about that, how the lover carrying themself in this world itself is a marvel, and the way they move is enough to write multiple songs about. It is a beautiful song that brings in metaphors from all over the dance world and even has a music video that inspires a similar feeling. It is the innocence of movement and the tongue-in-cheek reference that makes this song so sweet and deeply romantic at the same time.
Sunlight
Comparing the lover and love to sunlight, this song is about the protagonist’s clear expression of love and the comparison that this person embodies the warm sunlight on their face. When they are not in love, this protagonist feels like they could be in the evening light and live, but after experiencing this sunlight, there would be nothing that could take them away from it. Even the certainty of Icarus falling to his death, wouldn’t stop the protagonist to strap on the wings to fly towards them.
Dinner & Diatribes
This is a rather song implicitly about the anticipation of having sex. It is not the most overt in its desire, but the meaning is quite clear once the listener dives deep into the lyrics. The protagonist of this song is waiting for the social gathering or the night to end in order to begin the adventures happening later in the night, generally not involving any of the people present at this social gathering. The desire becomes quite clear as we move through the verses, with the end becoming rhythmic. The melody for this song is also incredibly resonant and conveys erotic desire.

Work Song
There is only one reason why this is the perfect simp song. “When my time comes around, lay me gently in the cold dark earth/ No Grave can hold my body down, I’ll crawl home to her.” The whole song is like a big list of traits that make this lover the best person for them. Considering how sweet this song is, anyone would fall in love if it was dedicated to them. While many male artists use euphemisms to talk about their lovers, Hozier consistently brings out the quiet and wholesome love in his music.
Jackie and Wilson
While other music by the artist is about figuring out the sweetness of the relationship, this one alludes to the fact that the two people have been together for a while. Their love is strong enough to discuss the future and the people they will pass down the roaring days to. Moreover, this song feels like the perfect ballad that is just country enough to give the small-town love feel without any of the complications, just them and their love, which is, once again, quiet and wholesome.
From Eden
This song is once again a subtle nod to all the forbidden romances in this world. The uncurtailable desire but the knowledge that this relationship could be in open defiance to God (wink wink to the reference from the title). While it may cause angst and inspire some frustration, this song is also perfect to see how connection can happen even in places where love may seem inappropriate. This song is about coming back even when things may seem impossible.
No Plan
This song talks about the pointlessness of the world, but the love that makes it worth it should not be quantified. Why do that when you could live in big, bold and brave colours? This song is about love despite the hate, and the ambivalence. Because nothing matters, love couldn’t be that bad. If everything must be thrown to the wind, including caution, then this is why people should love. The hopefulness and optimism in this song is the reason why the feeling sinks even deeper.

Wasteland Baby!
Even though this love may end someday, this song celebrates that they loved in the first place. It expresses that just the opportunity to love someone like the person referred to in this song is a privilege. Even though it may be destructive and can raze the planet, it is so worth it. The apocalyptic event signals new beginnings. Change can be scary, especially one as big as falling in love. But it must be so wonderful to watch a new beginning, and that is what this song celebrates.
