“There’s someone in the music too, it’s not a person Its hands reach out for mine, it isn’t human It’s dark blue and green and made of space It wants to put its arms around my waist It wants to dance with me and whirl me by It seems to know me but I don’t know why”
― Sinéad O'Connor, Rememberings

“Qui cantat, bis orat.”
― Sinéad O'Connor, Rememberings

“Making music is hard to write about. I was present then. In the place deep inside myself that only I know. But if you could talk about music you wouldn’t need music, so perhaps the things I talk about here are not always music.”
― Sinéad O'Connor, Rememberings

“they did an instrumental piece, played on a sort of high Irish whistle, that they said Finbar Furey, the lead singer, wrote when he was twelve. It was called “The Lonesome Boatman.” The most beautiful and haunting melody I’ve ever heard. Such grief to have come from a child. It was like he knew my own heart. And no one in this place had ever known my heart.”
― Sinéad O'Connor, Rememberings
