"My life was a storm since I was born, how could I fear any hurricane?" This line is amazing knowing the context. Paolo and Francesca were two lovers who were killed by Gianciotto, Paolo's brother but also Francesca's husband, when he found out they had a relationship. In the Divine Comedy, Dante puts both of them in the second circle of Hell, Lust. Their punishment is to be eternally buffeted about by a hurricane so strong that tears their bodies apart-- which is a metaphor to represent how they let themselves be ruled by their lust without controlling it.

Letās talk about Francesca!
Francesca da Rimini or Francesca da Polenta was a medieval noblewoman of Ravenna.
She fell in love with Paolo, the younger brother of her old and deformed husband Giovanni, who she had married as part of a political strategy only.
Enraged at their betrayal, Giovanni slew both Paolo and Francesca where they laid.
In Inferno, Dante and Virgil meet Francesca and her lover Paolo in the second circle of hell, reserved for the lustful.
I believe that this song could be from the point of view of either Francesca or Paolo, saying that it was all worth it, that they would literally go through hell again If they could be together one more time.
Very Hozier of them š„ŗ
I am absolutely in love with it! What do you all think about it? š¤

I was actually born in a blizzard, so the line "My life was a storm since I was born; how could I fear any hurricane," hits me. My life has never been stable, but whenever there are songs or stories that have lines like this I remind myself that I can be strong. My "Francesca" has been the eye of my hurricane for four years now and she makes every uphill battle, every whirlwind, every circle of hell worth it. One minute with her makes everything worth it.

My best friend died six weeks ago. I've been too consumed by my grief to listen to any music, but by god this song sums up my emotions so well. I would wander through every single circle of hell, climb every mountain and swim every ocean and experience every bit of agony I've ever been through all over again, two times over if I could just hold her for one more minute. I will look for her in this life, the next, and every life my soul will live, probably including past ones. This song, paired with Unknown, have resonated with me so deeply and helped me realize that I'm not as alone as I feel I am. Maybe this was a bit trauma-dumpy, but I just wanted to share this true testament to how deeply soul-healing Hozier's music is. I don't know who this man sold his soul to to make this kind of life-altering music, but it must've been a worthwhile transaction.

"My life was a storm since i was born how can i fear any hurricane... heaven is not fit to house a love like you and i ".... this gives me shivers , with hozier you can really feel the lyrics, the music, its really well composed as a whole thing but even if you separate this elements it just keeps Being pure art by itself, when you get to appreciate this things in live its really Worth it.

This should be your boyfriend's answer when you ask him if he would still love you if you were a worm.
