A few hours ago the sad news arrived that Sinéad O'Conner died at the age of 56. The reason why she died was not announced but it doesn't matter because another great voice is gone now. Everyone knew her if only one remember her cover of a song by Prince. But she had more to offer than a great version of this song. During her career she slipped from genre to genre and I don't know any song sung by her that wasn't worth to give a listen. Her beautiful and fragile voice is always a pleasure to listen to. That she had a painful life after being abused in her childhood and this trauma you can hear in every song she sung.
Rest easy Sinéad

Just heard the sad news Walter. She clearly had her demons.
A lovely tribute
What a fitting song to pay tribute to a great songstress. I shared the Collaborations CD that starts with this very song over at NSS. Will miss her haunting voice.
A huge loss.
Thanks, Walter, the world feels a lot emptier without Sinéad in it. Her songs with Massive Attack alone are incredible, I was hard pressed to pick just one for my tribute selection. A beautifully written post, thank you.
