...I could never make you so...
you were a hard man...
no harder in this world
you made me cold and you made me hard
and you made me the thief of your heart
Winter is cold...oh!
But you're colder still
and for the first time
I feel like you're mine
I share you with the one who will
mend what falls apart
and turn a blind eye
to the thief of your heart
Ohhh you lost
Ohhh you lost all
you lost all
you lost all
I'll never wash these clothes
I want to keep the stain
Your blood to me is precious
nor would I spill it in vain
your spirit sings
though your lips never part
singing only to me
the thief of your heart
Ohhh you lost
Ohhh you lost
Ohhh you lost all
lost all
Ohhh you lost
Ohhh you lost all
lost all
No it can't. It's 30. Sorry!
If Sinéad was alive today, I wonder what she'd say.
Éirinn go Brách.
She has a gift, an awesome and mighty gift. To take words and music and imbue them with more life and passion than you think a single song can hold. To transfix the listener and transport them to the place in which the story transpires. To pour her tortured soul into a song and make you feel a little saner and stronger for having shared the experience.
so true.
It really hurt when I heard the sad news. I've always had deep respect for Sinéad. From the music it was obvious she was a tormented soul, but she kept on pushing on with her unique style and total disregard for abiding by the mainstream.
Your voice is haunting, and powerful, much like your shadow will be.
I appreciate Bill taking a moment to remember her with us.
Have grow up listing to you all my life, going to miss you my darling. <3

And she, and her honesty, will be sorely missed.
For the generation before, no doubt Barbra holds the title.
streisand was born in 1942, not 1950's.
I'm just now reading Sinead converted to Islam in 2018. That's actually astonishing to hear, considering what she went through with the Catholic church before the 1990s.
Where did you come by this information? Wikipedia?
Notwithstanding all the controversy in her life, Sinéad is still a highly underrated and talented musician.
Think I liked her music better when she WAS more controversial! Seems her style has changed enough to notice. Like her voice but, what she's putting out these latter years, doesn't seem as good as earlier years. IMO, of course.

Grace Slick > Barbra Streisand
- made from pain and hurt and anger and beauty and strength and passion... and lots of other stuff :)
The greatest voice of her generation.

Thanks! I learned a new word tpday.
I remember watching this live on SNL. The moment she did it, I thought 'Oh snap. Holy Hell is about to rain all over you.' And then as the smile grew over me face and the hairs started standing up on the back of me neck, I thought 'that was absolutely fucking amazing!'
There are few people that deserve to say "I told you so" more than Sinéad O'Connor. As of 2020, there has been more than 6700 clergy credibly accused of sexual assault in the US alone.
guesse she was right in tearing up JPII pix with the info that came out NOV 2020

Sinead has been and will remain, one of most beautiful voices in music. This tune in particular, is powerful, soulful, and musically brilliant. The only Sinead song I like better is Down-presser Man..
I agree. The fact that she narc'ed Shane McGowan out as a reflection of character does not mean she's not a good singer. The fact that she then went on a press campaign following Shane's arrest and talked about her concern for Shane, how horrible heroin is, and her desire to help him by informing on him. Certainly the part of heroin is true. But I suspect she was more animated by the attention, not concern for Shane.
For the few young ones out there, Shane is an Irish National Treasure and former lead singer in The Pogues.But again, good pipes.
Coming out of this song you mention it may be your favorite Sinead O'Connor song. I still like "Emperor's New Clothes" better but "Thief" is at 2.
Thanks for being in charge of rolling the tunes.
What a loss to the World, Sinéad O'Connor laid to rest yesterday (8.8.23).
The controversy starts here: I think she highly overrated and has an annoying voice.
Overrated?! Maybe overhated, but definitely not overrated. One of many people that could just lay low and set the world on fire with her music. Not her style though...she sets it on fire in other ways and it overshadows her music. Sad, but she is an artist and activist (not to mention tortured by her past). I get it (as much as a regular Joe can)

I wonder if you would say that to her ... you know... face to face? Please try to remember the golden rule. There is too much nasty and negative in the world... IMHO.
Um, I think the point here is that he or she looked at the Daniel Day Lewis cover photo and made a terrible association. After recognizing the mistake hoped more espresso would somehow help.
Aint this music stuff wondrous how it can do that to us.
I couldn't agree more... I pump it up every time it's played and I too, stop in my tracks.

Perhaps you should be more positive about their 'perceived' negativity. Just sayin.

Gotta say I'm now confused. Not like I've ever tried (or wanted) to keep up with Shapeshifter O'Connor. No one could anyway. But having words (?), throwing sand in a sandbox (?) with Miley Cyrus kinda blew right by me. Pity. But not even worth a Google.
Yep. Empire with Bomb The Bass is another one.
Best avatar I've seen for a long time. Quick Draw McGraw lives.
that's mad, I didn't exactly the same thing in The Savoy in Dublin, I get chills when I hear this. the opening song as well by Gavin Friday and Bono , leading up to the bomb in the pub, jesus christ, shocked everyone in the cinema.
But seriously, folks... check out the beef between Sinéad and Miley:

Co-written by Bono in case you were unaware.
Reply: I really wish RP would list the songwriters!
Newsflash: the Miley Cyrus comment was a JOKE.
I suspected that was the case. And I cannot picture Sinead swinging on a whale-sized ball and chain.
Bono and Gavin Friday - "In the Name of the Father" (5:42)The Jimi Hendrix Experience - "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" (5:09)Bono and Gavin Friday - "Billy Boola" (3:45)The Kinks - "Dedicated Follower of Fashion" (3:00)Trevor Jones - "Interrogation" (7:11)Bob Marley and the Wailers - "Is This Love" (3:51)Trevor Jones - "Walking the Circle" (4:42)Thin Lizzy - "Whiskey in the Jar" (5:44)Trevor Jones - "Passage of Time" (5:52)Sinéad O'Connor - "You Made Me the Thief of Your Heart" (6:21)
Ya, me too, a for real double take. I hadn't heard this song, I like it.
Missed the film and the soundtrack in '94, so this is actually fresh to my ears.... really like it! I'm somewhat embarrassed because I was really listening to U2 and Sinead back then. How did I miss this?? I've always loved the U2 soundtrack / side project stuff like Passengers, Million Dollar hotel and Captive, so this is a nice addition to my collection.
Singing-wise, I guess opinions can vary, but Sinead's a much better cook than Miley. You've got to try her Orange-Poppyseed scones - they're awesome.

Certainly one of them. I think Bjork is more innovative and playful but the dark Celtic heritage and heartfelt nature of Sinead's singing is more powerful.

Any single word wrong - what a HASENHIRN!
Oh? Really? That explains the overly long vowels and boring segues.
Whatever. The PSD is your friend, I guess.
