Sinéad O'Connor, the iconic anomaly, emerged onto the music scene with a banshee-like voice and a shaved head, defying society's standards of beauty. In a sea of superstars, she captivated our attention and made us rethink what it means to be rebellious. With her haunting songs like "I AM STRETCHED ON YOUR GRAVE", she may have even birthed the genre of trip hop. Sinéad's commitment to rebellion was evident when she famously tore up a picture of the Pope on live television in 1992. She challenged us to think deeper, even during a decade dominated by bubblegum pop.

Sinéad transcended racial boundaries, using songs like "Black Boys On Mopeds" to address racial issues. She fearlessly covered reggae anthems and embraced her political beliefs from the start. She taught generations of white girls what it truly meant to be punk and introduced Doc Martens to high fashion. Sinéad wore her emotions like a badge and reminded us that England was not a mythic land of beauty but a place where black boys are killed by the police.

Sinéad's personal life was marked by the scars of abuse, making her passionate fight against the church and child abuse deeply personal. She was self-righteous for all the right reasons, a combination of fierce strength and tender vulnerability. Her artistry surpassed her contemporaries, making her a force to be reckoned with.

Now, as people recognize the importance of Sinéad's impact, it is evident that she was ahead of her time and timeless in her art. She lived authentically, never putting on a show for anyone except her beloved children. Sinéad was a spiritual being whose spirit emanated like a knight in shining armor. Her passion and determination made her one of the most important female artists since Janis Joplin. She fought the good fight, embodying the roles of warrior, princess, artist, revolutionary, activist, leader, and prophet of rage.

In the end, Sinéad was a grieving mother who could not bear to live without her son. She may be gone, but her impact will forever remain. As we remember her, we can't help but acknowledge that nothing compares to her. Rest eternally in peace, Sinead, alongside your son. You have fulfilled your purpose. You are The Lion And The Cobra.

 Sinéad, it's been 7 hours and 15 days since you took your love away, or something like that. Since You been gone I can do whatever I want, but all I'm doing is missing you.
