Friends,
Shortly, on June 26th, Sinéad O’Connor’s new album “Theology” will come out. This is supposed to be a sort of “return to form” of Sinéad, singing mostly religious music in a set of more rock-and-roll styles. She has said in interviews that she will only sing this kind of music from now on. I have it pre-ordered and encourage everybody else to do the same!!
That is all.
You forgot to mention that the acoustic disc of the double album was produced by Irish Trad guitarist Steve Cooney.
Well, there you go! 
Rarely these days do I buy a new CD new.
I bought this one, as I have bought every CD Sinéad has put out. When I popped the CD in, I remembered why: that voice.
That voice.
It makes me weep. This new album (actually, 2 discs) is so beautiful.
Across the liner notes, from the song Out of the Depths, which is written by Sinéad, is this statement:
“If God lived on Earth people would break his windows.”
I love it. It rings so true.
That’s an old Jewish saying, Cranberry.
well, she does’nt look Jewish … what’s up with that? 
Oh. That makes sense. It actually “sounded old” if that makes sense. I think she arranged it, rather than wrote it. Regardless, it’s beautifully performed.
Since when do you have to be Jewish to sing Jewish songs? 
There is no one way to “look Jewish,” by the way. One of my friends has red hair and skin as white as paper, and she’s Jewish. Sinéad is a Catholic (Latin Tridentine). She’s an ordained priest, in fact.
ya think?
I guess I’m Queen of the Obvious, sorry.
she has the most amazing voice, especially for good ole Irish tunes.
Would you believe that I agree?
I love her music soooo much. It really does comfort my weary soul.
what is the one Irish tune, i only caught the end, but it is where she cant let a child hang out with his friends for he beared his father’s name?
might be better if ya started assuming that I was pulling your leg and then see if it works out… 
SKIBERREEN!
I probably spelled that wrong, I always do.
Sinéad sang that song on the “Long Journey Home” CD compilation of Irish music. She did a really, really great job on that song, too…
So in this week’s People magazine (US version), the album got a “Quick Cuts” Review of 2.5/4 stars. It says that the acoustic CD would have been well enough on its own…I kind of agree. I’ve listened to the stripped-down CD almost constantly and only popped in the more “fleshed out” disk three or four times.
