Hozier<\/strong>‘s video for his #1 hit “Too Sweet<\/strong><\/a>” was fairly simple: It showed the artist in the studio and on tour. But he’s making more of a statement with the video for his new single, “Nobody’s Solider<\/strong><\/a>.”<\/p>\n

The clip intersperses footage of the Irish artist performing the song, intercut with images of war \u2014 bullets, helmets, bombs \u2014 as well as images of money, evil-looking businessmen and words like “Opportunity,” “Business,” “Sale,” “Profit” and “Leverage.”<\/p>\n

There are also images of doll parts inside some kind of machine, and an image of a little girl’s shoe, labeled with the word “collateral.” Hozier is also seen at a table making dolls that look like businessmen and soldiers. The message appears to be that wars are often seen as a way for the ruling class to profit.<\/p>\n

In the song, Hozier sings, “I don’t wanna choose between being a salesman or a soldier … being a butcher or a pauper\/ Honey, I’m taking no orders\/ Gonna be Nobody’s Solider.”<\/p>\n

“Nobody’s Solider” is from Hozier’s new EP,\u00a0Unaired,<\/em> featuring several songs that didn’t make it onto his album Unreal Unearth\u00a0<\/em>or his previous EP, Unheard<\/em>.<\/p>\n
