I know I’ve heard this song before but never figured out who is the artist. And then during my flight to NY, I heard it again on the in-flight radio with nearly full volumn in my headset.


It was heartbreakingly powerful and next moment when I realised, I found myself crying with tearstain on my face. She’s got a very powerful voice that reaches your soul, which sometimes gets you back while sometimes tears you apart.



So the first thing as I got the chance shopping is to get her album.

【now playing】Nothing compares to you/ performed by Sinead O’Connor

It’s been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

It’s been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they’d only remind me of you
I went to the doctor n’guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better try to have fun
No matter what you do
But he’s a fool
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares to you

all the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I’m willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
