··His Holiness Puer SurdusI'm no fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber's music, but Sinéad's interpretation here is really lovely. Demonstrates another facet of her signing talent.

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.In 1992, Kris Kristofferson comforted Sinéad O'Connor when she was booed off the stage at a Bob Dylan anniversary concert. He later wrote this for her. May we all have her courage. May we all tell the truth.

"I'm singing this song for my sister Sinead
Concerning the god awful mess that she made
When she told them her truth just as hard as she could
Her message profoundly was misunderstood
There's humans entrusted with guarding our gold
And humans in charge of the saving of souls
And humans responded all over the world
Condemning that bald headed brave little girl
And maybe she's crazy and maybe she ain't
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she's never been partial to shackles or chains
She's too old for breaking and too young to tame
It's askin' for trouble to stick out your neck
In terms of a target a big silhouette
But some candles flicker and some candles fade
And some burn as true as my sister Sinead
And maybe she's crazy and maybe she ain't
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she's never been partial to shackles or chains
She's too old for breaking and too young to tame”

It's a wonderful album, a really great piece of work..
She was a truly unique artist and an incredibly brave human rights campaigner and dissident.

·I was fifteen when The Lion and the Cobra came out. Troy is one of my all time favourite tracks. I'd listen to it at inhuman volumes when I had the house to myself.
The influence she had over kids of my generation in Ireland can't be overstated. The church here never recovered from that extraordinary SNL gesture.

·I really liked her music and her bravery in the 90s. Seems like she's had a hard time in recent years. Very sad.
