Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U (1990)

Dear sweetness,

"I love you and that's a fact, god damn I love the way you laugh.. and should you ever question it, just taste my lips. You will find your name thick with honey there, oh there's honey everywhere when I lay my soul bare.. and just like the way you are my little spoon, nothing could ever be compared to you."

I love you day and night, it just seems so right - eUë

Im on my knees begging you, please 🙏 please, por favor, 🧎for you to continue writing nothing compares with you 😔😭🙏🙏

😭😭😭 can I join you in floor begging? I don't know why that WIP was beaten out of my brain but I haven't been able to write a single word for it in over a year, easily. I had this idea that I'd finish one of my longer WIPs and doing so would unlock the ability to finish all my WIPs. As my posting history this year would suggest, this has not come to pass. I'm not sure what my logic was (why would one complete fic lead to more?) and indeed I failed at even finishing the single WIP I picked to focus on. So, idk. Once I accept the gravity of my hubris and/or failures and give up entirely (or I guess uncover a font of hereto undiscovered willpower and inspiration) I can make some kind of post laying out the rest of the plot maybe? If that would help? I don't know what people do in these situations other than invest in a hair shirt.

Sinéad O’Connor, acclaimed Dublin singer, dies aged 56

The Irish musician found worldwide fame with hit single Nothing Compares 2 U in 1990

Sarah Burns Wed Jul 26 2023 - 18:31

Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor has died at the age of 56, her family has announced.

In a statement, the singer’s family said: “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad. Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.”

The acclaimed Dublin performer released 10 studio albums, while her song Nothing Compares 2 U was named the number one world single in 1990 by the Billboard Music Awards.

Her version of the ballad, written by musician Prince, topped the charts around the globe and earned her three Grammy nominations.

The accompanying music video, directed by English filmmaker John Maybury, consisted mostly of a close-up of O’Connor’s face as she sung the lyrics and became as famous as her recording of the song.

In 1991, O’Connor was named artist of the year by Rolling Stone magazine on the back of the song’s success.

Ms O’Connor was presented with the inaugural award for Classic Irish Album at the RTÉ Choice Music Awards earlier this year.

The singer received a standing ovation as she dedicated the award for the album, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, to “each and every member of Ireland’s refugee community”.

“You’re very welcome in Ireland. I love you very much and I wish you happiness,” she said.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar led the tributes to O’Connor, expressing his sorrow at the death of the singer in a post on social media.

“Her music was loved around the world and her talent was unmatched and beyond compare. Condolences to her family, her friends and all who loved her music,” said Mr Varadkar.

Tánaiste Micheál Martin said he was “devastated” to learn of her death.

“One of our greatest musical icons, and someone deeply loved by the people of Ireland, and beyond. Our hearts goes out to her children, her family, friends and all who knew and loved her,” he said.

Ms O’Connor is survived by her three children. Her son, Shane, died last year aged 17.

She drew controversy and divided opinion during her long career in music and time in public life.

In 1992, Ms O’Connor tore up a photograph of Pope John Paul II on US television programme Saturday Night Live in an act of protest against sex abuse in the Catholic Church.

“I’m not sorry I did it. It was brilliant,” she later said of her protest. “But it was very traumatising,” she added. “It was open season on treating me like a crazy bitch.”

The year before that high-profile protest, she boycotted the Grammy Awards, the music industry’s answer to the Oscars, saying she did not want “to be part of a world that measures artistic ability by material success.”

She refused the playing of US national anthem before her concerts, drawing further public scorn.

In more recent years, O’Connor became better known for her spiritualism and activism, and spoke publicly about her mental health struggles.

In 2007, Ms O’Connor told US talkshow Oprah Winfrey that she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder four years previously and that before her diagnosis she had struggled with thoughts of suicide and overwhelming fear.

She said at the time that medication had helped her find more balance, but “it’s a work in progress”.

Ms O’Connor had also voiced support for other young women performers facing intense public scrutiny, including Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus.

The singer converted to Islam in 2018 and changed her name to Shuhada Sadaqat, though continued to perform under the name Sinéad O’Connor. In 2021, Ms O’Connor released a memoir Rememberings, while last year a film on her life was directed by Kathryn Ferguson.

Broadcaster Dave Fanning said Ms O’Connor would be remembered for her music and her “fearlessness” and “in terms of how she went out there all the time, believed in everything she was doing, wasn’t always right and had absolutely no regrets at all”.

American rapper and actor Ice T has paid tribute to O’Connor, saying she “stood for something”, after her death at the age of 56.

In a Twitter post, he wrote: “Respect to Sinead….. She stood for something ... Unlike most people ... Rest Easy”.

Musician Tim Burgess of Northern Ireland band Ash said: “Sinead was the true embodiment of a punk spirit. She did not compromise and that made her life more of a struggle. Hoping that she has found peace.”

Penguin Books Ireland, which published her memoir ‘Rememberings’, said they were “so sorry” to hear of the death of the singer.

“Sinéad was a once in a generation talent and we were honoured to publish her memoir ‘Rememberings’,” they said. “We would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.”

I’m still alive to my own surprise. And still an addict with no surprise at all. I’ve just made an incredible deal with my French guy and by getting home, I’ve found my 5g from my German guy.

A couple weeks ago I went to the doctor and guess what he told me? (Nah he didn’t say “girl you better try to have fun don’t matter what you do!” Ps Sinéad O'Connor we still miss you babe). He said I must quit this stuff and get clean. Duh!!! 🙄 He refilled my prescription so now I’m drowning in pills, but how can I get clean? I mean you have to want it first, right? And I’m not in that state of mind, not at the moment…I’m sorry…

Riley and Lucas Nothing Compares To You

Here is my new video of Riley and Lucas. I like go think that eventually when Riley and Lucas were old enough that Lucas would ended up asking Riley to Marry him. There would be a chance maybe Riley and Lucas ended up breaking up with each other for several months or a couple years but they ended up founding their way back together. They would ended up getting married together and they would ended up having children. One of their kids may ended up would ended up loving horses and they would try to get Riley and Lucas to get him or her one. I could see Riley and Lucas letting their kids to be who their children are meant to be. I think that one of their kids also may ended up being bullied just Riley but Riley and Lucas will ended up teaching all of their children to stand up for themselves when they are come face to face with a bully.

"There's nothing to compare my love to, not on this earth.. there's nothing to compare you to, not even in the stars. Nowhere has there been a love so deep, never before has there been such beauty.. but maybe that is love, it feels like we are the only ones.. cause we are experiencing it alone. Home is where the heart is, and my heart is under your ribs.. we are one of two, two bodies falling madly in love, but of one beautiful soul."

True love beckons me with every smile from your lips - eUë
