about this song
“First Light” was chosen by Hozier to be the final song of the album as it represents the end of Dante’s odyssey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. In the song, he feels the relief of seeing the sky again, like it’s the first time, after going through dark periods of suffering. In an interview for the Independent, Hozier called this a song of “reconciliation”, like he’s discovered, after a long journey down, that even hell has a way out.
