Sinead O'Connor: "The Last Day of our Acquaintance"

I haven't heard a live version of this song, but I just found this and I love it! She just has 
such a unique and beautiful voice. Her inflections and intonations are so powerful.








This is the album version, which is still awesome.


This is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know what your answer will be
I know you don't love me anymore
You used to hold my hand when the plane took off
Two years ago there just seemed so much more
And I don't know what happened to our love
Today's the day
Our friendship has been stale
And we will meet later to finalize the details
Two years ago the seed was planted
And since then you have taken me for granted
But this is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know your answer already
But this is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk but you won't listen to me
I know your answer already
I know your answer already
I know your answer already





This final live version is, in my opinion, the most powerful. You can really hear the emotion 
behind her vocals. I must warn you that there is an expletive at 2 minutes, 43 seconds 
(so just push stop at 2:43 if you don't want to hear it), but it's worth it to listen up to that 
point just to hear the beauty and emotion of her voice.
