Incredible and criminal this song never got the same attention as "Nothing Compares to You," just ignored and shoved into some void, too complex in it's sensitivity and simplicity for the general public and record company profiteers.
I hope you have the peace now that this life did not allow you. Thank you for your gift, the bravery of your voice musically and politically. Too many cowards with platforms silent when convenient and white wash their words and actions and still get the applause and rewarded as some sort of humanitarians. They are tormented and frightened not to be loved and forever pining for a happy medium balancing on an acceptable pedestal by the public. They cannot bear to lose being beloved because that’s how they were taught to survive. Not that you should have been some martyr or you needed to prove yourself to others. You did it because you couldn't ask any less of yourself. Your sorrows and pain mattered even when you were written off as another mad woman. I hope those you left behind are able to still love and forgive your early passing. I hope your son is with you and whatever you couldn't find in this life you are blooming with or into in the next.
