I also commented on Hozier too! Nobody’s Soldier, Eat Your Young, Swan Upon Leda, and more are all incredibly political songs. Love him so much. On his tour he also would bring LGBT and Palestinian flags up onto stage and would talk about these topics during intermissions at his concert. He’s just the absolute best.

Green Day lost a lot of good will with that Father of All album a few years back
