The song “Someone New” by Hozier was released May 11, 2015, and was the fifth single on his first album, “Hozier.” The song has only now become popular, being played on the radio often. The music video has close to 30 million views on YouTube and the number is steadily increasing. The music video features actress Natalie Dormer, walking around a city and kissing many random people. Hozier’s lyrics say “I fall in love just a little bit/ every day with someone new” which is significant to what this girl in the video is doing. She meets all these new people during her night out and falls in love with all of them, but none of them seem to remember who she is, and all she is left with is an empty feeling. Hozier’s song speaks to me in the sense that it is so easy to fall in love with anyone and everyone you meet every day, but you can not keep all of them in your life forever, so you might as well love them while you still can.
