Promises to the Holy Spirit :: Sinéad O’Connor (1966-2023)

Posted on July 27, 2023

What does it mean to really listen to the Holy Spirit? To take up your cross and faithfully follow? What does it take to pass through the eye of the needle? Sinéad O’Connor knew. When she was growing up, a young abused girl in Dublin, she made a promise to follow the call of the Holy Spirit that dwelled within her, a force she would later come to say was music itself. In this space, she took refuge, and in return she found her voice, a one of a kind sound capable of soaring or cracking, of great power and holy sensitivity.

Nice piece from Aquarium Drunkard describing and exploring Sinead’s relationship to her god, Music!
