Sinead O'Connor - Music Artist
A beautiful woman and Irish artist, Sinead O'Connor, just died 26th of July 2023.
The first time I ever heard her voice and interpretation of the song, Nothing Compares to You, on a video, it touched my heart. Since then, I have always enjoyed playing it over and over again. Later on, I came to know it made her to the top of the music industry.
But that is not the point. It was her connection to God. She was a believer. She was what she had been, well, that's her story. What I know, not in my mind but in my heart that I understand her.
In honor to her memory, Let the Music Play.
Nothing Compares To You
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've 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 lone 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
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
'Cause nothing compares, nothing compares to you
All the flowers that you planted mama
in the backyard
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
Nothing Compares to You.
