SINEAD O'CONNOR RELEASES THE EMOTIONAL TRACK '8 GOOD REASON'. MIND = BLOWN.

Sinead O'Connor has never been one to hide her feelings. As a matter of fact -- and much to her own detriment -- she often can't help herself. It doesn't always make for good publicity, but what it DOES make for is great music. Her latest album, I'm Not Bossy, I'm The Boss, is very emotional and one of her finest albums since her 80s/90s heyday. Sinead has stated that the songs on the album are written from the point of view of four different characters, one being herself, and there's no doubt new single 8 Good Reasons is about Sinead. The song talks about a very dark time involving "a bullet and a red light" when O'Connor was thinking about ending her life, but how she found hope in things to live for. With lines like, "You know I love to make music but my head got wrecked by the business" you know we are talking about Sinead. It's quite a stunning song and a brave statement from a woman who has had her share of troubles in this life. I've posted the lyrics below the beautiful video so you can read them because we all need a little hope sometimes and a reminder that there is so much to live for. Enjoy and I hope you get as much hope from this song as I do.


 Don't know if I should quite sing this song.
Don't know if it maybe might be wrong
But then again it maybe might be right
to tell you about the bullet and the red light
You know I'm not from this place
I'm from a different time, different space
And it's real uncomfortable
to be stuck somewhere you just don't belong
 But I've got 8 good reasons to stick around
8 good reasons... Well, maybe 9 now.
I had a dream one night About a bullet and a red light
You know it felt alright
You know it actually felt quite nice
If I coulda gone
Without hurting anyone
Like a child I'd find me mum
Like a bird I woulda been flown
You know I don't much like life
I don't mind admitting that it ain't right
You know I love to make music
But my head got wrecked by the business
Everybody wants something from me
They really ever wanna just know me
I became the stranger no one sees
Cut glass off crawl upon my knees
I had a dream one night About a bullet and a red light
You know it felt alright
You know it actually felt quite nice
But I've got 8 good reasons to stick around
8 good reasons... Well, maybe 9 now.
