Sinéad O'Connor
You Made Me the Thief of Your Heart

LA RECENSIONE

" Joni Mitchell once said that it is difficult to transition from the purely emotional state needed to best interpret a song to the purely analytical state needed to decide whether what you have just sung is worthy of being recorded. According to her, moving too quickly between these states can leave you completely disoriented. Sinéad doesn't seem to have this kind of problem. One moment, she is giving free rein to her Celtic soul, wailing like a banshee, and the next moment she stops, calmly, to suggest a cut or correct a wrong note "

Bill Flanagan, U2 at the End of the World (1995).

This piece was written by Bono and Gavin Friday for the soundtrack of the film "In the Name of the Father," which tackled the themes of IRA massacres in Celtic territory.

I decided to write a few lines because I believe that You Made The Thief Of Your Heart is one of the most beautifully arranged, written, and sung songs in the history of music.

If a moment in your life, or a person, or perhaps a situation has made you hard and cold toward yourself and life, this song is the ultimate expression of this feeling.

Pure, sincere, and not at all hypocritical.
