Sing for Sinead: Crowdsource Choir at the Royal Room

Come sing "Nothing Compares 2 U" to honor Sinead, a fierce wild prophet!

Our avenues for coping with grief are scarce

Limited to social media posts

What we truly require

Is coming together

To lament and mourn

To grieve and sing as one

"Sinead

She died on the feast day of the lost Irish mother goddess Anu...goddess of the oceans and the howling winds and the windswept earth. Anu who the Catholic Church tried to turn into St. Anne the grandmother...but who could not really be tamed.

So many of us, as young women, who first heard her howls knew she spoke for us, expressed what was in our souls for generations. She was so damn brave. So wild. So utterly untamed.

I listened to her songs over and over again and I howled with her and afterwards I would feel better.

The deaths of people with whom I am not personally intimate does not usually matter to much to me.

But this one feels very painful indeed.

Let her be our wild untamed saint. Let her help us take the tape off our mouths and our hearts. Let us always be too loud, too much, too loving, too fierce, too all of it...in her honor."
