I saw her at Glastonbury in 1995 and she was wearing a T-shirt that said, "IF YOU THINK I'M A BITCH YOU SHOULD MEET MY MOTHER".

2025-07-26 14:54:06 +0000 UTCThe interesting thing about this was that it was actually written about Prince's live in housekeeper for many years. He never had to do a thing , all he had to do was wake up and dress in the clothes she had already laid out for him, go into his music room and work. Everything was done for him. Her father then became ill and she had to leave and go look after him and he was totally lost. He'd never even used an oven oir washing machine. The song was of course marketed as a break up song because that sells but the truth was that it was Prince saying he was totally lost without his housekeeper. It makes sense of the line "All the flowers that you planted mother ...." This line reminded Sinead of her own mum who had recently passed away, after years of acrimony between them Sinead had made peace with her mum only to lose her. In the video Sinead ends up crying which wasn't planned it was just her remembering her mum

2025-07-26 13:56:20 +0000 UTCCompletely get where you're coming from - her passion in this song is very moving. However, it was originally written by Prince and was from a males perspective. As someone said above, well worth anyone checking out Chris Cornells version (I have his live version on the playlist so it may come up at some point anyhow!)

2025-07-26 13:29:16 +0000 UTCYou have to listen to Chris Cornell’s cover of this Prince classic. I would say it’s even more emotional
