Hozier and Pantera are among the artists proving popular with gardeners.According to a new study by First Saturday Lime Study which dug into the intersection of music and gardening, both the Irish singer-songwriter and US heavy metal band dominate Spotify gardening playlists as the most featured artists.The study analysed over 76,000 songs from Spotify playlists and surveyed 1,000 Americans before discovering some surprise revelations.Hozier’s ‘Too Sweet’ was the top song to feature on gardening playlists, followed by ‘Here Comes The Sun’ by The Beatles and ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ by Chappell Roan.Zach Bryan, Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs, meanwhile, were the top artists appearing on homesteading – meaning someone who lives self-sufficiently, usually by growing their own food – playlists on Spotify.But it was Noah Kahan‘s ‘Stick Season’ that came out as the top song on homesteading playlists.Among other findings was that 62 per cent of gardeners and homesteaders listen to music while doing so, while 56 said that listening to metal while gardening actually helps to reduces stress.However listening to heavy metal apparently does come with some potential risks, with one finding revealing that 20 per cent of people who listen to that genre of music while gardening accidentally kill their plants.Similarly, nearly one in four people who listen to EDM while gardening (23 per cent) reported a low yield of crops.Elsewhere, it was rap/hip-hop and pop that came out as the top genres on gardening playlists on Spotify, while country and pop came out on top for homesteading playlists.As for the song of the summer among gardeners and homesteaders, Kendrick Lamar‘s ‘Not Like Us’ secured that honour.Another recent study found that metal proved

Hozier has opened up about the time he tried to “play it cool” when he met actor Cillian Murphy – despite him nursing what he described as a “rough” hangover.The musician revealed the story during a show at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota earlier this month (as per Music News), pausing his set to recount the anecdote to fans.Hozier, real name Andrew Hozier-Byrne, recalled meeting up with a “best old mate”, saying he and his friend ended up “drinking very heavily all night, as you do”.Despite the heavy night, Hozier had to catch a flight the next morning – and once at the airport, it was here where he bumped into Murphy.Remembering the morning after the drinking session, he explained: “I stand up quickly, and I am quite tall. It’s been said to me, ‘If I fall down, I would be halfway home’… I was walking at full pace and I just went, ‘Boom!’ My head hit the window at such force.”Hozier walked “straight into a wall”, saying he was in “rough shape” but managed to make it to the airport.“I’m like rattled.

Hozier show as he played ‘Cherry Wine’, which confused him given the song’s dark subject matter.Despite sometimes being misinterpreted as a love song, ‘Cherry Wine’ is actually about domestic abuse – “The way she tells me I’m hers and she’s mine/Open hand or closed fist would be fine/The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine,” Hozier sings in the chorus.A proposal took place as Hozier was playing the song during a show in Madison, Wisconsin, so he stopped to acknowledge it when he heard people screaming in excitement before restarting the song.“Congratulations,” he told the couple. “Congratulations on putting the fear of God into me, well done.

Hozier has today (August 16) shared a powerful new political single called ‘Nobody’s Solider’ – check it out below.The song is taken from his new EP, ‘Unaired’, which has also been released today. ‘Nobody’s Soldier’ was initially debuted by Hozier recently during his headline set at Lollapalooza 2024 and followed on from another new song, ‘July’, which he shared on social media last month.A statement about ‘Nobody’s Solider’ says it “highlights the hugely problematic issues of global arms dealing.”The powerful new song hear’s Hozier sing: “I don’t wanna choose between being a salesman or a soldier / Just let me look a little older / Let me step a little bolder / Choose between being a butcher or a pauper / Honey, I’m taking no orders / Gonna be Nobody’s Soldier.”Listen to it here:In a note to fans about the new song and EP, Hozier said: “Dear Souls, I want to thank each and everyone of you for everything over this past year.

Before jumping into the second song of his set, Hozier took a moment to acknowledge the 1960s civil rights movement in the US – how it had directly inspired a similar movement for civil rights in Ireland and how he’s been singing the track ‘Nobody’s Soldier’ in solidarity with those who have protested the violence in Rafa and Gaza.“The civil rights movement that took place here in the United States directly inspired the civil rights movement in Northern Ireland, very shortly afterwards in a time and place where not every single person was guaranteed the right to vote,” he began..@Hozier calling for a ceasefire while performing at @lollapalooza tonight before singing ‘Nobody’s Soldier’ pic.twitter.com/zzxYmtCM0j— NME (@NME) August 2, 2024“We’ve been singing this song in solidarity with anybody who has contacted their representatives or put their feet on the street in honest goodwill and human witness of the lived experience of other people on the other side of the world that say ‘We wouldn’t want to see any human be subject to the kind of violence that we have been witnessing on our TV screens in Rafa.
