links spirituality feels
I always feel there is a link between music and spirituality.
spirit holy duty
I love the Holy Spirit. I can't stand to see it being disrespected. It's been there for me at times when I really needed it. Therefore, I have a duty to stand for it is how I feel.
religious spirit holy
I guess I'm a Holy Spirit maniac. I'm not a religious maniac. I love religion, but I don't like it.
believe spirit holy
I'm a Holy Spirit maniac, yeah. When I say maniac, to me, a maniac is a person that goes around telling you what you should believe. You know, you have to believe what I believe, and I don't believe that.
spiritual men may
You can't solve a spiritual problem with politics. You may as well as throw the Parliament to a drowning man.
spiritual thinking comforting
I think in the first place hearing the music inside of you is very soothing, very comforting. For me there always been, if you like, a spiritual connection between myself and music.
spiritual song past
As far as I'm concerned, I'm now in the business of making spiritual records and using my voice for that purpose. I'm not going to be singing songs that I made in the past. I closed the door on that incarnation of Sinead O'Connor.
emotion spirit holy
When I sing, it's the most solitary state: just me, and the microphone, and the holy spirit. It's not about notes or scales, it's all about emotion.
spiritual believe rocks
I don't believe in any kind of artistic snobbery or musical snobbery. You know, to me, the sexiest and the most spiritual words ever uttered in rock and roll are wop babaloo balop bam boom.
closed songs
I'm not going to be singing songs that I made in the past. I closed the door on that incarnation of Sinead O'Connor.
artist voice musical
The irony is that musical artists have enormous public voices, but behind the scenes we're voiceless, actually.
jesus believe want
I don't want to go shoving what I believe down anyone's throat. Whatever I believe about Jesus is a personal thing, but it doesn't exclude all the others.
sex voice rocks
I suppose the biggest change to me is this kind of very oversexualizing of everything. Not that anyone wants to take the sex out of rock 'n' roll, you know - that would be ludicrous - but it seems that everything now, it's like the sexuality is the only voice; everything else is gone.
artist voice important
Irish artists have a tradition of being very heavily engaged in what is happening in their own society. So it was important that they had a voice.
