I felt this was a good bookend to yesterday's post - because it came from the other end of Sinead O'Connor's career. This song was the big single from her 2014 album, I'm Not Bossy, I'm The Boss, which would be her last.
I actually found this song hoping to post a cover of hers that wasn't a Prince song over on Totally Covered. I thought this was the Hozier song.
It is not the Hozier song. Sinead O'Connor wrote the lyrics and co-wrote the music for this one.

The video, directed by James Lees, is particularly striking for me. It superimposes images of Sinead O'Connor from her "Nothing Compares 2 U" video over her in the present day - with hair (that she removes at approximately 2:00 in the video - it's a wig).
I encourage you, however, to pay attention to the lyrics. It's raw and honest performance by O'Connor.
