#30DaySongChallenge Day 23: An artist whose voice you love
#Heroine, from the soundtrack to #Captive - #TheEdge of #U2, with #SineadOConnor. This is the first Sinead O'Connor / #ShuhadaSadaqat song I ever heard. I was completely mesmerized by her haunting voice!
Hawaiian Island World
"The shopkeeper from Illinois came round
A freshly fired gun in his hand
He said he'd just shot a young poet
For writing something he didn't understand
Gone were the lines that he loved to forget
Safe were the folk words of truth would upset
With God right behind him
His gun by his side
There was nowhere for these weirdos
To run or to hide
The day of their judgement
It was due to arrive
Get them on the record
Make sure they don't survive
And we can all sit watching
Our Hawaiian Island world"
- World Party, 1987
