Written by Mateo Biggs<\/em><\/p>\n

I won\u2019t lie, I\u2019ve always been a fan of any diverse genres of music– I\u2019m the kinda guy who means it when I say I don\u2019t mind what music my friends play when we spend time together. My own playlists are a mix of rock, K-pop, J-rap, electronic music, Dark R&B, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, however, I have been listening to Hozier\u2019s newest song \u201cToo Sweet\u201d on repeat. It\u2019s a really good song in general– an engaging rhythm and lyrics that are good to sing to because they\u2019re memorable. For me I just enjoy the style of music Hozier makes in general as he does make up a lot of my playlists in general.<\/span><\/p>\n

With his newest song, though, it did get me thinking about a lot of things as well. For instance, it made me laugh at the juxtaposition of me and my own partner and our own tastes. I actually do drink my coffee black when I make it myself, or I get an iced americano whenever I go out for coffee. My partner, however, only likes having extremely sweet frappes or sweet, hot teas from cafes. I like a lot of different music genres where he only listens to 1 or 2 different genres and usually it’s the same couple of songs on repeat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I play a few sports for fun like soccer or volleyball while my partner doesn\u2019t and while he prefers spending nights playing games, I sometimes enjoy going out with my friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why did I get these thoughts from a simple Hozier song? Simple, it comes from a few lyrics like \u201c<\/span>You’re too sweet for me \/ I take my whisk\u0435y neat \/ My coffee black and my bed at three\u201d and \u201c<\/span>You keep tellin’ me to live right \/ To go to bed before the daylight \/ But then you wake up for the sunrise\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s these lyrics that made me think of how much we can differ from the people closest to us while still loving and caring for them a lot. Plus I just really always enjoyed Hozier\u2019s music and \u201cToo Sweet\u201d might just have become my favorite song he has released since \u201cArsonist\u2019s Lullabye\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Can\u2019t wait to see how many listens it\u2019ll take to see if I\u2019ll ever get sick of it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
