The city lights flick to display
Bang there goes another day
The believers in the basement
They are singing songs about a way
Reborn and regenerate
But none of this communicates to me
Up here on the second floor
I've forgotten what i'm waiting for
A friend, a brother, mother, woman
Maybe
But i have all these in the sulphate
Emotionless and considerate
To me
And it's a hard sun
A hard sun that
's been beating on my back
It's a hard sun
That shines it's light on me
It's a hard sun
A hard sun that
's been beating on my back
It's a hard sun
That shines it's light on me
The silver clock chimes off again
Reminds me of my childhood pain
And the burden that was lifted
When i made it to the city
Disillusioned and full of hate
But a member of the mother state and free
At empty walls i sit and stare
I sense a feeling in the air
In the throws of thought i wonder
Can i make it on my own
But, deep down in my heart i known
That i ain't never, ever going home
And it's a hard sun
A hard sun that
's been beating on my back
It's a hard sun
That shines it's light on me
It's a hard sun
A hard sun that
's been beating on my back
And it's a hard sun
That shines it's light on me
Sinéad Marie Bernadette O'Connor (Dublino, 8 dicembre 1966 – Londra, 26 luglio 2023) è stata una cantautrice irlandese di fama internazionale. Conosciuta per la sua voce potente e il suo stile musicale che mescolava elementi di pop, rock, folk e musica tradizionale irlandese, O'Connor ha raggiunto l'apice della popolarità negli anni '90 con album come "The Lion and the Cobra" (1987) e "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" (1990). Quest'ultimo, contenente il singolo simbolo "Nothing Compares 2 U", ha venduto oltre 10 milioni di copie in tutto il mondo. La sua carriera è stata segnata da momenti controversi, come la distruzione del ritratto del Papa durante un'esibizione televisiva nel 1992, che le costò l'ostilità di alcuni e la stima di altri. Nonostante le controversie, O'Connor ha continuato a pubblicare musica fino alla fine della sua vita, esplorando nuovi generi musicali e affrontando temi sociali e politici nelle sue canzoni. Nel 2017 ha cambiato il suo nome legale in Magda Davitt e nel 2018 si è convertita all'Islam, assumendo il nome di Shuhada' Sadaqat.
