Hozier - Swan Upon Leda
"Swan Upon Leda" Is The First Single To Hozier's Third Studio Album "Unreal Unearth". Most Simply Explained The Song Speaks To The World Being In A Less-Than-Ideal State. The Lyrics Utilized Herein Are By And Large Metaphorical And Therefore To A Significant Degree Up To Listener Interpretation. But Hozier Has Revealed That “Swan Upon Leda” Was Inspired By One Mona Eltahawy Who Is A Women’s Rights Activist From Egypt. More Specifically There’s A Quote She Made Concerning The Said Issue Which Compelled The Irish Singer To Pen This Piece. Hozier Explained The Track In Detail On His Website "Egyptian Journalist And Author Mona Eltahawy Once Referred To The Global Systems That Control And Endanger Women As The World’s “oldest Form Of Occupation.” Ever Since Hearing Her Speak In Dublin I Wanted To Explore That Thought In A Piece. I Wrote Swan Upon Leda In Ireland A Year Ago And Recorded It Recently With Producer Jenn Decilveo. We Were Tracking It In Studio When The News Came Through Of Roe V. Wade Being Overturned. I Felt There Was An Opportunity To Offer Some Show Of Solidarity. We’re Reminded Again By The Protests In Iran That Progressivism Is A Global Movement. The Recent Pushbacks Against Civil Liberties And Human Rights Respect No Boundaries Or Borders And Like All Acts Of Control Violence And Indeed All Forms Of Occupation Their Legacies Can Be Immeasurable In Both The Personal And Political Spheres."

"Swan Upon Leda" is the first single to Hozier's third studio album "Unreal Unearth". Most simply explained, the song speaks to the world being in a less-than-ideal state. The lyrics utilized herein are by and large metaphorical and therefore, to a significant degree, up to listener interpretation.
But Hozier has revealed that “Swan Upon Leda” was inspired by one Mona Eltahawy, who is a women’s rights activist from Egypt. More specifically there’s a quote she made concerning the said issue which compelled the Irish singer to pen this piece.
Hozier explained the track in detail on his website:
"Egyptian journalist and author Mona Eltahawy once referred to the global systems that control and endanger women as the world’s “oldest form of occupation.”
Ever since hearing her speak in Dublin, I wanted to explore that thought in a piece.
I wrote Swan Upon Leda in Ireland a year ago and recorded it recently with producer Jenn Decilveo. We were tracking it in studio when the news came through of Roe v. Wade being overturned. I felt there was an opportunity to offer some show of solidarity.
We’re reminded again by the protests in Iran that progressivism is a global movement. the recent pushbacks against civil liberties and human rights respect no boundaries or borders, and like all acts of control, violence and indeed all forms of occupation, their legacies can be immeasurable in both the personal and political spheres."
