In loving memory – Sinéad & Shane O'Connor


Esta canción es un tributo de Kristofferon a su amiga Sinèad O'Connor, conocida tras su conversión al Islam en 2017 como Shuhada' Davitt. El la consoló sobre el escenario, mientras la audiencia la abucheaba, durante el concierto tributo a Bob Dylan de 1992, 13 días después la controversia suscitada al ella romper en pedazos una foto del Papa durante una retransmisión en directo de Saturday Night LIVE, denunciado los abusos sexuales cometidos por la Iglesia Católica.

O'Connor solía afeitarse la cabeza para reafirmar su posición en contra de la superficialidad en la industria discográfica: Kristofferson alude a ello en la frase "that bald-headed brave little girl." 

Sirva esta humilde versión como homenaje a la valentía de O'Connor y a su recientemente fallecido hijo. Stay strong, brave littlel girl!

This song is a tribute to Kristofferson's friend, the Irish singer Sinèad O'Connor (Shuhada' Davitt since 2017). Kristofferson comforted O'Connor on stage in 1992 when she was booed by the crowd during a Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary concert a fortnight after tearing up a picture of the Pope on Saturday Night Live. O'Connor regularly shaved her hair as a statement against the superficialities of the record industry, which Kristofferson alludes to in the lyric, "that bald-headed brave little girl."

Serve this humble version as a tribute to the bravery of O'Connor and to her recently deceased son

May your soul also rest in peace, brave little girl. You gave it all, more that we deserved. Thank you for you example, you're decades ahead or your time and we didn't even noticed.... We own her an apologie for not helping her, we're all to blame

Lyrics:

I'm singing this song for my sister Sinèad
Concerning the mess that they said that she made
When she told them the truth just as hard as she could
Her message profoundly was misunderstood

There's humans entrusted with guarding our gold
And humans in charge of the saving of souls
And humans responded all over the world
Condemning that bald headed brave little girl

And maybe she's crazy, I know that she ain't
Crazy was Picasso and so were the saints
And she's never been partial to shackles or chains
She's too old for breaking and too young to tame

It's askin' for trouble to stick out your neck?
In terms of a target a big silhouette
But some candles flicker and some candles fade
but none burns as true as my sister Sinèad

And maybe she's crazy, I know that she ain't
Crazy was Picasso and so were the saints
And she's never been partial to shackles or chains
She's too old for breaking and too young to tame
