| 70. "Nothing Compares to You" by Sinead O'Connor |
|
Prince wrote it about a lover, but Sinead sang it about her mother, and the ambivalence of her feelings about her mother since her mom was so mentally ill and so abusive that Sinead's dad was the first father in Ireland to ever be awarded full custody of his children; that's why it is so damn moving and was such a big hit. Until I found this out I would not even listen to it because Prince is alleged to have assaulted her once while she was at his house. When I got the new take on it I could see it in a whole new light; it's about how she feels now that her mother is dead despite the horrible abuse.
