Better love

Cantante: Hozier

I once kneeled in shaking thrill
I chase the memory of it still, of every chill
Chided by that silence of a hush sublime
Blind to the purpose of the brute divine
But you were mine
Staring in the blackness at some distant star
The thrill of knowing how alone we are, unknown we are
To the wild and to the both of us
I confessed the longing I was dreaming of
Some better love, but there’s no better love
Beckons above me and there’s no better love
That ever has loved me, there’s no better love
Darling, feel better love
Feel better love
And I’ve never loved a darker blue
Than the darkness I have known in you, own from you
You, whose heart would sing of anarchy
You would laugh at meanings, guarantees, so beautifully
When our truth is burned from history
By those who figured justice in fond memory, witness me
Like fire weeping from a cedar tree
Know that my love would burn with me
We’ll live eternally
‘Cause there’s no better love
That beckons above me, there’s no better love
That ever has loved me, there’s no better love
So darling, feel better love
‘Cause there’s no better love
That’s laid beside me, there’s no better love
That justifies me, there’s no better love
So darling, darling, feel better love
Feel better love
Feel better love
Feel better love
Feel better love
‘Cause there’s no better love
That beckons above me, there’s no better love
That ever has loved me, there’s no better love
So darling, feel better love
‘Cause there’s no better love
That’s laid beside me, there’s no better love
That justifies me, there’s no better love
So darling, feel better love
Feel better love

Hozier è sempre così difficile da comprendere. Le sue parole sono da interpretare, non di meno anche in questa canzone fortemente evocativa, colonna sonora di Tarzan.

Un grido di amore rivolto al nulla, a quella stella nel cielo oscuro. Una richiesta di un amore migliore, un amore intimo di colui che è inginocchiato e prova un brivido di fronte all’immensità.

Un amore proibito lo stesso che potrebbe dare il protagonista ma che non trova riscontro dall’altra parte.

Hozier è talmente sfigato ma la sua musica ti prende e permea ogni signola cellula.
