Silent night
Holy night
All is calm
We see
All is bright

Round young virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
We say
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night
Holy night
Shepherds first saw the sight
Glorious streaming from heaven afar
Heav'nly host sing Allelluia
Christ the savior is born
Christ the savior is born

Silent night
Holy night
All is calm
We see
All in bright

Round young virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
We say
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Sinéad O’Connor

Sinéad O'Connor (who goes by Shuhada' Sadaqat in her private life) is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 80s with her album The Lion and the Cobra and achieved worldwide success with her cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares to You” in 1990.

O'Connor was discovered in 1985 when Nigel Grainge of Ensign Records saw her band Ton Ton Macoute perform. Although he was not fond of the band’s music, he was impressed by O'Connor’s ‘amazing voice’. Grainge had O'Connor record four songs with Karl Wallinger (World Party) and signed her to his label. O'Connor’s first single was the song “Heroine” which she co-wrote with U2’s guitarist The Edge for the film Captive.

Her debut album The Lion and the Cobra was a sensation when it was released in 1987, reaching gold record status and earning a Best Female Rock Vocal Performance Grammy nomination. O'Connor’s debut single “Troy” charted in The Netherlands and Belgium, and “Mandinka”, released in late 1987, cracked the top 20 in the UK and top 30 in three other European countries, helping her album chart well in Europe. Spin Magazine described the album as a “remarkable, still-spine-tingling first record”.
