With an unbelievably beautiful timbre, a shape that catches the eyes of fans all over the world, a frank and unique image and a living self (but it also pays a lot of price), she is the female singer---Sinead O`Connor.

Born in Dublin, Ireland in 1966. The family relationship was not harmonious when she was young. After her parents divorced, she lived with her father, but this was the source of a trauma in her heart. At the age of 15, she was sent to a nursing home for the crime of stealing, where as long as she did not abide by the regulations, she was sent to sleep in a nursing home next door. She stayed there for 18 months, which deepened her fear and pain. Writing and musical talent thrive.

In 1984, she met a band in an advertisement and joined them, which caught the attention of the record company and eventually signed Sinead. First, he co-created a song "Heroine" with U2 guitarist The Edge, and sang and sang. Then she prepared a solo album, but during the recording process of this album, she had a great disagreement with the producer. After the producer begged to leave, she simply went into battle by herself. After the release of her first album "The Lion And The Cobra", Not only was she a hit in Ireland, but she was also a big hit on the American University Broadcasting Network, and she was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Female Vocal Performance.

In 1990, her second album "I Do Not Want What I Haven`t Got" brought her great international attention. A single "Nothing Compares To You", a cover of Prince's old work, became the No. 1 single on the Billboard Billboard in the United States. This album not only won her numerous awards, but also pushed her into the forest of superstars. Her words and deeds are unique, her eyes are full of spirit and anger, and she has a big bald head (this bald head style was later emulated by Faye Wong and Mavis Fan), but her voice is unmatched by others. With a metal-like voice, firm and fragile when singing ballads, self-made and wild when singing rock music, you can also feel a trace of anger, this album has almost become the best album of the year.

In 1992, "Am I Not Your Girl?", a cover album full of jazz flavors, was well-publicized, but its commercial performance was far below expectations, and the music reviews were also mixed. I have to say that this album makes her voice sound more ethereal. Under her interpretation, each song presents an unusually moving atmosphere. This album is a treasure in Wei Lan's heart!

The 1994 album "Universal Mother" still failed to stand out in terms of sales. Although the performance of the single was not bad, the album sounded really flat. The subsequent albums were still difficult to spark the same upsurge as before. For a while, she even turned to Irish folk songs to explore . Later, due to fibromyalgia, he withdrew from the music industry for a while, and released his works again in 2005.

Her works have always been outspoken, and so are her words and deeds. She not only expresses strongly on many issues, but also attracts many discussions. He is talented, but because of his violent attacks on many issues, the popularity of the audience is becoming more and more disappearing, and his psychological and spiritual state is not good. But it is undeniable that she was indeed an extremely dazzling singer in the music world. Her voice is also one of the best in the contemporary era, and she has left behind classics. Leaving aside those complicated private life and radical remarks, she is still a star in terms of music alone. A star who once shined brightly.

This song is from the soundtrack of the movie "In the Name of the Father". It is a song I love very much. The movie is also super good.
