How do I already have trouble deciding what my favorites are and the album isn't even out? Every snippet I hear is heavenly. Unknown with that new part added 2/3 in? Perfect. I, Carrion? Who doesn't want more Icarus themed music in their life? I can't wait for this album.
This is so ethereal, heart-breaking, and tender. Unexpected sound, too. Shades of Simon & Garfunkel and Irish folk music. I couldn’t understand every word but the feeling tone came through to pierce the heart. Such incredible beauty from this one man.
Exactly this. I heard these strains of Simon/Garfunkel and the Irish folk references there that night as well in that tiny dark living room-sized space. Big fan of this ethereal gentle soundscape he's been instilling into the songs. "If you fall / I can only pray / don't fall away from me" A twist of the knife straight into the heart, with all the sweetness held by the deeply precious and most meaningful things in life. The cost of living and loving deeply are the losses of it, but does it ever make for the sweetest poetry all the same.
Found a third way to take the title whilst listening: I, Carrion (Icarian) - I Carry On This album is going to absolutely wreck me. Not like I’d expect anything else from Hozier at this point. 💚💚💚
What a love song! Such beautiful moving lyrics. It moves me to tears - it goes so deep. Between this and Francesca I'm not sure I'll survive the new album
Yesterday I heard the song live in Zurich and now it makes me feel lighter than I have in so much time to being able to listen to it again and again 🌬🪶 Thanks for the video.
If the wind turns Fighting a squall Allow the ground To find its brutal way to me [Verse 1] I feel lighter than I have in so much time I've crossed the border line of weightless One deep breath out from the sky I've reached the rarer height now that I can confirm All our weight is just a burden Offered to us by the world [Pre-Chorus] And though I burn How could I fall? When I am lifted By every word you say to me [Chorus] If anything Could fall at all, it's the world And it falls away from me [Verse 2] You have me floating like a feather, honestly While you're as heavy as the world You have held your hands beneath Once I had wondered what was holding up the ground I can see that all along [though?] It was you all the way down [Pre-Chorus] Even now I am sky-bound If you need to Darling, lean your weight to me [Chorus] We'll float away, but if we fall I only pray Don't fall away from me [Verse 3] I do not have [wings?] But I [never ?] Soaring over the world You are carrying If these legs should [break?] While I fall And leave you alone Icarian carry on If the wind turns Fighting a squall Allow the ground To find its brutal way to me [Chorus] We'll float away, but if we fall I only pray Don't fall away from me (posting the lyrics from genius cuz i need ?)
Hi - hope this helps 👍🏻 If the winds turns, if I hit a squall* You have me floating like a feather on the sea* I can see see that all along, love, it was you all the way down* Leave it now, I am sky bound* I do not have wings, love, I never will* If these heights should bring my fall Let me be your own Icarian Carrion*
Sorry, not one of my favourites( of which there are many on the new album) also dont shoot me down but imho some vocal notes early in the song were slightly pitchy. Everyone has an off song/gets overtired, or maybe it was a melodic choice?
Unexpectadly generic for a hozier-song :/ Doesn't matter though, man has set an impossibly high standard for himself, i can listen to unknown and movement for every day the rest of my life
Rest assured I mean this somewhat disrespectfully: if you think this song is generic, your perspective is almost objectively flawed. If my suspicions are correct and you think alluding to Icarus is what’s generic, I invite you to find so much as a single piece of media that offers up this depiction of the myth. If you think the song is lyrically or sonically generic, well there’s just no helping you I’m afraid.
The fact that we're getting what is ostensibly a sequel to one of my favorite songs of his is truly fantastic. This album is so far 100% gold with every track released.
this brought me to tears so quickly even though i cannot exactly hear the lyrics. holy shit. this man -- and all the musicians on stage with him, an incredible band, are insane at what they do. so grateful that i get to experience it in this lifetime. beautiful
Tried deciphering as much as I could and I'm sure a lot of it is still wrong but here's an attempt. It gets much harder to decipher later in the song: If the wind turns if I hear a squall Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me I feel lighter than I have in so much time I’ve crossed the borderline of weightless One deep breath out from the sky I’ve reached the rarer height now that I can confirm All our weight is just a burden offered to us by the world And though I burn, how could I fall? When I am lifted by every word you say to me If anything would fall at all, it’s the world that falls away from me You had me floating like a feather on the sea While you’re as heavy as the world, you have held your hands beneath Once I had wondered what was holding up the ground I can see that all along now, it was you all the way down Even now, I am skybound If you need to, darling, lean your weight to me We’ll float away but if we fall I only pray don’t fall away from me (Can’t make this next part out at all but it has parts of the song title in it) I do not have wings but ??? soaring over the world you are carrying? If these ??? should ??? but I fall If the wind turns, if I hear a squall Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me We’ll float away, if we fall I only pray, don’t fall away from me
@@av1718 i think the parts you’re missing go something like this I do not have weight but I’m reburning(?) to go over the world You are carrion If these hands should move(?) our fall with me below I carrion, carrion
