Hozier and romanticizing Ireland, or why the “bog man” shtick should be dropped back into the bog from whence it came
So after a slapdash, frustrated post about the politics of Hozier's music went batshit yesterday, I wanna do a quick follow up about the whole bog man thing, which multiple people mentioned in the reblogs and tags.
Artists are usually known by their names, either the one they got at birth or the one they picked for their career. Beyoncé Knowles Carter goes by Beyoncé, Stefani Germanotta goes by Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift goes by Taylor Swift, etc.
Andrew Hozier-Byrne goes by the stage name Hozier. When talking about him online, most people just call him Hozier, or sometimes Andrew for emphasis or to be silly. Then you have the people who call him stuff like this:
Yeahhhhhhhh, that's just some of what I found in like a 5 minute search. If you search tumblr for "bog man" or "forest daddy" it's almost all posts about Hozier; there's a lot more (and weirder) if you go look on TikTok.
People from other countries romanticizing Ireland isn't new, but that doesn't make it acceptable. Ireland is very much a modern country with modern problems, despite media (mostly American) which prefers to focus on Ireland as an exotic, idealized land, a postcard from the past where everyone lives in cottages and dresses in green and only speaks in mysterious rhyming couplets. Heck, only 3 in 10 Irish people live in rural areas. The other 7 in 10 live in urban or suburban areas, including Hozier. He lives in County Wicklow, which is quite close to Dublin, a city of over 500,000 people and also Ireland's capital.
Like, I'm not saying anyone is The Devil for making a couple "bog man" cracks. God knows I made a few of them back in 2019; one of my old posts makes me cringe because I joked about Hozier and fairy mounds. And you can find old examples of Hozier humoring the gag here and there, whether because he found it funny at the time or because he was just playing along.
Lately, though? When the bogfather/fae king stuff comes up in interviews, Hozier seems uncomfortable with it, even though he stays polite:
Like. Hozier is just a guy. A dude named Andrew who sings and plays guitar and writes songs and is a fallible human being. Artists can't completely control their image, but if you're a fan of someone's music, you should try to treat them as a person, not a mythical creature or a bundle of stereotypes about their country or a flawless statue to be stuck up on a pedestal.
All of us (including me!) fuck up sometimes. But once we know better, we should choose to do better.

Hozier's interviews, radio & podcast & tv, September 2023
Sept 1, 3FM, Sophie & Mart host
youtube
"You know that thing where you have a busy few weeks and are like, do I have any hobbies? "
Q: Is Hozier the same as you or is there a difference?
H: Not really, I try to keep things simple with the whole persona thing, it's not something that resonates with me, with the musical tradition I come from.
Sept 10, Hits96/Alt987, Gino D hosts
youtube
"There's younger people coming to the work now, which is a sweet surprise."
Q: Are there any of the new songs that are especially close to your heart?
H: There's a love song called To Someone from a Warm Climate which is one of my favorites, and there's a song called First Time, I'm proud of some of those lyrics.
Sept 13, Elle
Song Association
youtube
"Hot Irish guy summer? Who else is on the list? Paul Mescal, gorgeous. Pierce Brosnan is perennially, perpetually, eternally hot."
Sept 13, Genius lyrics
Take Me to Church verified
youtube
"Drain the whole sea, get something shiny" is a wordplay on The Holy See, the Vatican, taking back that wealth that was created by people donating every week.
Sept 21, CMT Crossroads with Maren Morris
youtube
M: Do you have any nicknames and why is one of them “Forest Daddy”?
H: I don't know where that came from. I think there's a mystifying thing with the Irish element, and I do live in the countryside. I keep bees. I'm of beekeeping age now. I'm "Bog-Father."
Sept 22, Genius lyrics
Eat Your Young verified
youtube
"Children become the ground of culture war, to use as pawns, especially when it comes to arms dealing. Another school shooting, another debate about gun rights. I wanted the voice in that song to be the voice of power that shrugs off any responsibility for a future that anybody has."

So Hozier said "Imagine being loved by me/ I won't deny I've got in/ My mind now/ All the things I would do" and I have not been alright one single day since.
