Song of the Day: "Troy" by Sinéad O'Connor · Jun 9, 07:58 PM by Don
Sinéad O’Connor has never been afraid to open her scars and sing what’s inside. Probably the best example of this is her song, “Troy,” (from her 1988 debut, The Lion & The Cobra) where she plays the part of the scorned lover. In the live version below, the climactic lines are set aflame with some added profanity and uncomfortably real anger.
And the flames burned away
But you’re still spitting fire
Make no difference what you say
You’re still a liar
You’re still a liar
mp3: Sinéad O’Connor – Troy :: live in London, from the “Three Babies” single (1990)
The video above is for a somewhat unexpectedly popular 2002 remix.
