Sinéad O’Connor peaked in 1990 with the smash album I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, her beautiful crying face in the ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ video becoming an iconic image of the early 90s indie scene.

She followed that album two years later with a disc of covers titled Am I Not Your Girl? and released a decent but unspectacular album of original material — Universal Mother — in 1994.

I pretty much wrote her off after that, as did the rest of the world, so it was a big surprise when she returned six years later with Faith and Courage, arguably the best album of her career.

But the comeback was short lived, as O’Connor released only two covers albums over the next seven years, one of which consisted entirely of reggae songs — never a good sign.

Then, in 2007, she released the two-disc Theology, from which today’s song is taken. I would like to say that it was another return to form but the truth is, I don’t think I’ve ever listened to it all the way through. Or if I have, I’ve forgotten it, which would be even worse.

Today’s song is lovely, and a nice reminder of the gorgeous voice that once held such promise.
