all of them.

okay, but for real.. hmmm.. ehm.. ehhh.. hmm.. that's a toughie.

Why Would You Be Loved maybe?? It's a tie between WWYBL and Dinner & Diatribes honestly.. Both Wasteland, Baby! Era. I just.. Love how melancholy WWYBL sounds tbh, like, why would I be loved, please tell me haha. Not in the pessimistic "nobody loves me" type of way, but in the "that's a great question, Mr. Hozier-Byrne" kind of way.

Also, Dinner & Diatribes is just.. I cannot describe how that one makes me feel. Maybe one word would be "ah"? (Haha get it because he keeps saying 'ah' in the song haha laugh)

BUUUUT THERE'S ALSO SUNLIGHT, I just love him being like "yeah, my lover is like.. deadly and tough but also radiant and beautiful - let me fly closer to you, even if you hurt me. I'd put myself through the pain of that just to love you." (Icarus reference)

WHIIIICH brings me into Francesca, but specifically this version because OH MY GOD it makes me vomit my guts out every time. Calm and collected to manic and teary-eyed I NEED HELP GUYS I fell to my knees. Francesca SCREAMS "It doesn't matter what we did to end up here, as long as you're with me, I'd go through the worst with you" vibes... Which isn't too far off, since it's based off of Francesca Da Rimini's story (Dante's Inferno AND irl). Just look up her story if you wanna know it..please..

Ahhh.. Moral of the story? Don't ask (the real) Andrew John Hozier-Byrne what his favorite songs are, he'll yap. he's yap-happy.
