HOZIER ALONE WITH YOU LYRICS TV

You can just hear her yelling, “But this isn’t right!” His response is chilling: “Honey, there is no right way.” There’s only need and desire- my needs, my desires, “And so I fall in love just a little, oh a little bit every day with someone new,” a refrain he repeats over and over again-a grinding denial of moral accountability that cruelly screams, “ All is vanity!” All is despair.

Didn’t she realize he only “ran” to her in need-when he was lonely, tired, or bored-that she was just a stranger to him anyway, that he was non-discriminating in his choices, that she wasn’t special, that she was just a number, that it wouldn’t last? Didn’t she see him for what he was? If she didn’t, then she’s the fool. He places the blame for any misunderstanding about the “relationship” on the woman, as if it’s her fault for feeling abandoned afterward, as if she was wrong for wanting more. His response is chilling: ‘Honey, there is no right way.’ One YouTube commenter accurately called it Tinder’s theme song-isolated people looking for connection but finding only momentary thrills that leave them empty and, more often than not, leave those who foolishly fall for their manipulations broken and hurt, confused about what happened between the flood of passionate communications-the poetry, the songs, the gentle words of knowing-and the cold, distracted silence after the moment has passed. Hozier’s song is a brilliant, pathetic portrait of a significant part of today’s generation (and I’m including all ages, not just millennials). There can be a beginning of love in the moment and the tender words that preface it, but if that’s all there is, if it is quickly abandoned for another, there is no real connection, no flicker of time when we cry, “You love me!” That’s an illusion. Love plays no part in a solitary flash of passion because love is rooted in so much more-in the spirit, in the infinite, in ties that bind. If all we have is a moment before moving on to the next, then we have only sex-loveless, dehumanizing materialism. There is no love in a world where nature rules and we live only for the moment, feeding our animal appetites. It’s gone in a breath, and afterward she’s alone, drained, and bored because she has no real connection with anyone. Life is a string of sexual encounters, like seconds ticking off the clock-bodies and feelings merged in a moment, but it doesn’t last. She drifts from one titillating, ephemeral relationship to another, imagined or real. The song is Hozier’s “Someone New,” and the video, starring “Game of Thrones” actress Natalie Dormer, depicts the sad and isolated life of a woman unable to truly connect with anyone around her. After listening to several top songs of 2015, I kept going back to one song in particular because of its sober depiction of a trend plaguing today’s postmodern generation-the increasing prevalence of despair and the sexual distractions that feed it. Movies, books, television, and music give us insight into how we as a people are progressing-or regressing. Timothy B.If you want to know how society is shifting, just look to pop culture.

The song's theme is that TV news coverage focuses too much on negative and sensationalist news in particular, deaths, disasters, and scandals, with little regard to the consequences or for what is important ('We all know that crap is king'). Henley sings from the standpoint of a news anchorman who 'could have been an actor, but I wound up here'. The song is about the callousness of TV news reporting as well as the tabloidization of all news.
