Only recently, after having hummed the tune through many tests and AP exams, did I realize that “Cherry Wine” is much more somber than its tranquil melody suggests. “Oh but she loves/ Like sleep to the freezing” is a line from “Cherry Wine” that epitomizes the Irish singer’s poetic verse, filled with creative metaphors and imagery.
Hozier has a distinctive style–a mix of folk blues and indie that I’ve never heard before– as well as unique lyrics, which led “Take Me to Church” to gain widespread popularity.
The tune is perfect for concentration because it is not upbeat enough to be distracting, but Hozier’s gentle tone and slow guitar provide a melodious background. I listened to Hozier’s newest album, Hozier, during all of my studying this month and “Cherry Wine” was one of my favorite songs. A study song is just what you need to help pull you through the next four weeks of this school year. As May’s rainstorms give way to June’s humid sunshine, a month filled to the brim with AP tests, SOLs and SAT subject tests will be exchanged for studying for finals.
