Thank You For Hearing Me

Song lyric time. I like this song and I'm not really sure why. I don't really like anything else that Sinead O' Connor has done apart from Nothing Compares To You, and this song is nothing like that one. I think maybe it is the profound sense of hope in the lyrics, that the singer is grateful for the experience of a love lost, even though it devastated her when it was over, because she is a stronger person for that experience. It harks back to the old adage that "whatever doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger". Yes I think that might well be what I love about this song.
