Sinéad O'Connor's death came as a shock to many. Rather than repeat it, the video can be viewed at Stephen Goodlad's flash contribution.
It came as a shock to learn
about the demise of Sinead O'Connor,
a wonderful singer cursed by tragedy
with her son dying at seventeen
and Sinead suffering from demons in the mind.
Oh, she was far far too young to depart,
a rebel with a cause with a pure heart.
Yet it's the iconic video of her singing
"Nothing Compares 2 U"
that really touches my soul
as she sheds tears with the saddest eyes.
What a voice, tinged with melancholia,
an Irish legend with so much passion
whose music will never go out of fashion.
