Im fascinated by this. Its really rare that Im so blown away by a song that it wont leave my head. In Ireland its a crime to not have religion (Sinead talking to George Stroumbolopoulos). I had no idea that she had such strong convictions and beliefs in God. Shes also very brave because she works in an industry where many are afraid to actually speak their minds. I also had no idea that she tried to commit suicide and suffers from mental illness. I have, however, always thought she was such a beautiful person. Something about her has always intrigued me. So when I loaded up the new single I was prepared to be impressed, but not like this. Look, we live in a time where people are being silenced. We live in a time (always have really) where people actually KILL people in the name of religion. Its crazy out there. Im really saddened by all this. Like, hey, tell me you believe what I believe because if you dont Ill snuff your life out. Really? Or even at a much less extreme case, (but not really) some people (not everyone), who feel like they know absolutely the truth, ridicule and demean people that they consider wrong. It starts in the school yard really eh? Its like we never stopped bullying. Great example for our kids. I respect any one that speaks their mind in a loving compassionate way. Anyone who can articulate ideas and convey thoughts and look people in the eye and love them even if they dont agree. Since when did we live in a world where people cant be loving. Even if you dont agree with them? I guess its been a long time, and perhaps this is why we cant have nice things. PS... something about the imagery in this song. Old vs new. Becoming a new person. Wanting to have an impact. Speaks volumes to the kind of person she must be. https://youtube/watch?v=jMzY_KQIKjU&feature=youtu.be I dont wanna love the way I loved before I dont want to love that way no more What have I been writing love songs for? I dont wanna write them anymore I dont wanna sing from where I sang before I dont wanna sing that way no more What have I been singing love songs for? I dont wanna sing them anymore I dont wanna be that girl no more I dont wanna cry no more I dont wanna die no more So, cut me down from this here tree Cut the ropes from off of me Sit me on the floor I AM; the only one I should adore Oh, take me to church Ive done so many bad things it hurts Yeah, take me to church But not the ones that hurt Cause that aint the truth And thats not what its for Yeah, take me to church Oh, take me to church Ive done so many bad things it hurts Yeah, get me to church But not the ones that hurt Cause that aint the truth And thats not what its for Im gonna sing. Songs of loving and forgiving Songs of eating and of drinking Songs of living. Songs of calling in the night The songs of light, a bolt of light And, loves the only love you should advise Songs of long and spiteful fails Songs that wont let you sit still Songs thatll mend your broken bones And dont leave you alone So get me down from this here tree Take the rope from off of me Sit me on the floor I AM; the only one I should adore Oh, take me to church Ive done so many bad things it hurts Yeah, take me to church But not the ones that hurt Cause that aint the truth And thats not what its for Yeah, take me to church. Oh, take me to church Ive done so many bad things it hurts Yeah, get me to church But not the ones that hurt Cause that aint the truth And thats not what its for
