At the St. Patrick’s Day Varietopia this year we did a medley of Sinéad songs. Rehearsing the medley got me to listen to her albums again for the first time in years & to watch the recent doc about her.
What an incredible artist and person. A real one among real ones.
Rest in Power to someone who personified courage.

Shuhada' Sadaqat (8 December 1966 – 26 July 2023)
Sinéad O'Connor is widely regarded as one of the most influential female performers of the 90s, not only for her sensational performances and raw vocal emotion but also for her outspoken confidence to express herself publicly.
Sinéad was born in Dublin in 1966, and was discovered by Paul Byrne, drummer of U2 protégés In Tua Nua, while singing wedding covers in the city. After co-writing the first In Tua Nua single, she left school to focus on music, studying voice and piano at the Dublin College of Music. She relocated to London in 1985.
Her debut album, The Lion and the Cobra produced two alternative hits ‘Troy’ and ‘Mandinka’ and would go on to be one of 1987’s most critically acclaimed LPs. Follow up, 1990’s I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got confirmed her as a major artist with the Prince-written Nothing Compares 2 U reaching number 1 in the UK, the US and globally.
A series of public gestures have tended to interrupt the critical focus on O’Connor’s artistry including her infamous performance on SNL where she ripped up a photograph of Pope John Paul II. However, Sinéad’s ability to move through Pop, Rock, Folk, Reggae and incorporate multiple influences into her complex and powerful sound is in evidence all throughout her now three-decade long career.
Her death comes a year after the mother-of-four's son Shane, 17, took his own life in January 2022 after escaping hospital while on suicide watch.

I could eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing, I said nothing can take away these blues
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they’d only remind me of you
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the backyard
All died when you went away
Tumblr media Tumblr media
‘Cause nothing compares
Tumblr media
Nothing compares to you

Release: January 8, 1990
Lyrics:
It's been seven hours and 15 days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone, I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
'Cause nothing compares, nothing compares to you
I went to the doctor, guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said, "Girl you better try to have fun, no matter what you do"
But he's a fool
All the flowers that you planted mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Songwriter: Prince Rogers Nelson
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

“There was no therapy when I was growing up. So, the reason I got into music was therapy. Which is why it was such a shock for me to become a pop star, it’s not what I wanted. I just wanted to scream.” - Sinead O'Connor
