Über diesen Titel

 From the acclaimed, controversial singer-songwriter Sinéad O’Connor comes a revelatory memoir of her fraught childhood, musical triumphs, fearless activism, and of the enduring power of song.

Blessed with a singular voice and a fiery temperament, Sinéad O’Connor rose to massive fame in the late 1980s and 1990s with a string of gold records. By the time she was twenty, she was world famous—living a rock star life out loud. From her trademark shaved head to her 1992 appearance on Saturday Night Live when she tore up Pope John Paul II’s photograph, Sinéad has fascinated and outraged millions.

In Rememberings, O’Connor recounts her painful tale of growing up in Dublin in a dysfunctional, abusive household. Inspired by a brother’s Bob Dylan records, she escaped into music. She relates her early forays with local Irish bands; we see Sinéad completing her first album while eight months pregnant, hanging with Rastas in the East Village, and soaring to unimaginable popularity with her cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2U.”

Intimate, replete with candid anecdotes and told in a singular form true to her unconventional career, Sinéad’s memoir is a remarkable chronicle of an enduring and influential artist.

A warm speaking voice, carrying so much sadness and love, is gone. Sinéad O'Connor has been a large part of my life's soundtrack, and it's not the place to tell, how much she inspired me or continues to do so. Listening to her reading out these thoughts and memories in all frankness and self-awareness, is comforting, sometimes overwhelming, yet indeed the most important song she gifted the world with; personally, it helps me cope, since she managed what she calls 'spiritual honesty' - which is the best achievement each of us can hope for. It makes her story an important, encouraging one to be told in all facets: There was the abused child with troubles healing, then the person in music biz, appalled by its trivialities, but someone with a calling to sing out, then the empath, psychic and soul-searcheress, who did not deviate from this other calling, even when appearing so. I recommend especially the audio-book, as a chance to truly hear her and get to know at least a bit of the bright shining person she was.

As throughout her lifetime: Heartbreaking honesty.
