Rest In Peace – Sinéad O’ Connor

Rest In Peace – Sinéad O’ Connor

Back at the end of 2011 I had the honor of interviewing her in a hotel overlooking The Tower Bridge in London. She was about to release her new album How About I Be Me (And You Be You)? and the day before she did a showcase for a lot of journalists and hardcore fans in an old church somewhere in London. A bit awkward and nervous, but then again, she almost always was on stage, there were songs that blew the crowd away. The Queen of Denmark cover by John Grant being one of them… The next day I had my interview time with her, and she was frank and open about her bad period, but also about how music had saved her many times in her life. And to think music came to her aid so early on in her life, for when she was five years old, wandering the streets alone, she was praying for help. That’s when she suddenly heard music in her own footsteps, and knew what she had to do, she muttered a ‘thank you’ towards the heavens. Today we’ve learned music did not come to her aid another time…

Thank you for your music dear Sinéad, may you finally find peace…
