Sinéad O'Connor - This Is to Mother You
Happy Mother's Day. I have a ton of mothers song, but this is one of my favorite Mothers song, "This Is to Mother You". I won't really spend too much time writing about who Sinead O'Connor, I'm assuming most people know her iconic baldness and that Prince written "Nothing Compares 2 U" song (which, incidentally, I don't think he ever recorded a version himself?).
She's really a great song writer, actually, and I'm suprise that the Prince song was the one that made her popular. I've been following her work since I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, like most people.
In 1994, she released this album called Universal Mother, which had a theme of motherly love for their children. It's really an excellent album, there's even a rap song called "Famine" on the CD.
She has four children, Jake Reynolds, Róisín Waters, Shane Lunny, and Yeshua Francis Neil.
Trivia: Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris recorded a cover version of this song for their "Western Wall: The Tucson Sessions".
