    She was right.

      Yes. An artist who was deeply concerned about the human condition and didn’t care what it did to her career:

      ““I can’t think of an artist who’s given more than Sinéad and I can’t think of an artist who’s been punished more than Sinéad, for telling the truth.”–Anohni.

      “The fire in her eyes made you understand that her activism was a soulful reflex & not a political gesture.”–Massive Attack.

    Such a shame. She was a talent. This video is one of the best of the video era and it didn’t need anything but her voice and her head.

      And it’s the weakest song on the album. The rest of them are emotionally raw and honest; this one is the usual Prince bathos.

      BTW, the “Prince estate” – sounds so much better than “leeching relatives,” doesn’t it? – wouldn’t allow the song to be used in “Nothing Compares,” the documentary about O’Connor’s life.
