Sinead O'Connor - 8 Good Reasons Lyrics






Don't know if I should quite sing this song
Don't know if it maybe might be wrong
But then again it maybe might be right
To tell you 'bout the bullet and the red light

You know I'm not from this place
I'm from a different time, different space
And it's real uncomfortable
To be stuck somewhere you just don't belong

But I got 8 good reasons to stick around
8 good reasons, well maybe nine now

I had a dream one night
About a bullet and a red light
You know it felt alright
You know it actually felt quite nice

If I could have gone
Without it hurting anyone
Like a child, I would have found me mum
Like a bird I would have been flown

You know I don't much like life
I don't mind admitting that it ain't right
You know I love to make music
But my head got wrecked by the business

Everybody wanting something from me
They rarely ever wanna just know me
I became the stranger no one sees
Cut glass I've crawled upon my knees

But I got 8 good reasons to stick around
8 good reasons, well maybe nine now

I had a dream one night
About a bullet and a red light
You know it felt alright
You know it actually felt quite nice

But I got 8 good reasons to stick around
8 good reasons, well maybe nine now
8 good reasons to stick around
8 good reasons, well maybe nine now
Well maybe nine now

Sinead O'Connor 8 Good Reasons Comments
  1. L.... C....

    See how your power grows as you come to your true self Grandmother , you see what men try to hide the truth of life , it’s meaning , it’s reason for being , the act of liveing is the reason , to love , make babies an raise them to be themselves an take joy from the act of liveing , every mother knows this because of what she gets back from her children as you get back from the tribe of humans you fought for Grandmother . We love an value you for you wisdom an your Love for us . Papa Les Cash.$

  8. I.... S....

  16. A.... O....

    Miss this side of you, Sinead. You are and always will be a massive inspiration to your kindred spirits. Love always.

  17. L.... V....

    I love this song. She gets on the bus and first she's depressed and then she looks around at the people and looks at the beautiful world and she starts thinking about what life is and what she values out of life. She starts counting the things she is sticking around for and then she comes up with nine. She knows she is different than most people but she doesn't care because she loves people and she knows she has a lot to offer. I love you Sinead! You are truly a beautiful singer and you are beautiful on the inside too!

  18. S.... R....

    Too moved watching this

  19. V.... T....

    Just came across this... oh my goodness... it’s perfect for me, perfect for her at that memoir of her youth. Fallen deeper in love with Sinead and her song.

  20. S.... S....

    Brilliant ,

  21. J.... B....

    Wtf this video means? So confuse

  23. s.... u....

    This isn't just good for my ears; it's good for my heart and soul, too. It's wonderful to see Sinead smiling.

  24. e.... e....

    I adore Sinead,but this whole Magda davvit? nonsense is really irritating.

    e.... e....

    Hey Eep I learned long ago that people's strengths are also their weaknesses . If she were normal you would not get the greatness that is sinead

  25. L.... M....

    Sinead, if you ever should read this, I have bipolar disorder myself and I admire you so much not just for your music but also for the raw, honest videos you've posted online. Feeling suicidal is a terrible feeling, you are an amazing person, God bless you.

  26. D.... C....

    Out anyone famous she is the one I would love to meet and get to know her as a person

  35. f.... ....

    Best ;)

  36. R.... O....

    Soooo nice👍🧡

  37. K.... H....

    Another gem from Sinead. She is one of the few contemporary musicians whose songs contain lyrics with deep meaning. Its no wonder, since she has been through hell in her life. I was shocked to discover that she has just converted to Islam. Then again, I can understand why - she craves tenderness and love from others, and in Islam there is a strong sense of comradery between Muslims. This sense of comradery is also found in Judiasm. This is because both Muslims and Jews feel persecuted and any group that feels persecuted develops a sense of comradery between themselves.

  38. C.... W....

    Love you Sinead

  39. C.... W....

    love this song

  40. J.... W....

    The woman has balls, I hope she sticks around. I like the song.

  43. �.... �....

  44. D.... i....

    Alhamdulillah she is now Muslim

  45. M.... G....

    So lovely and beautiful thank you for your passion and your humanity. You are so loved

  46. k.... z....

    Müslüman oldu..

  47. j.... h....

    what a great video its so nice to see you happy and smile. life is a struggle we must support each other no matter what. magda you are beautiful and i have always loved your music and i know your strong person and i thank you for your beautiful soul and for sharing yourself with the world. thank you for being you

  48. A.... D....

    Well done Sinead.

  49. C.... C....

    i think some people are ministers of a sort without church. More precisely, some people and their songs remind me that each of us is a minister, a steward of the life we live. SO or MD either and both.

  50. B.... i....

    This is such a pure song about love as it should be

  51. s.... g....

    Fuck love this woman ,god bless her I have a father how suffers with depression and I see to reason with this beautiful woman may she live forever ...

  52. R.... R....

    Man she still can write and sing so beautifully. I bought this album and its fantastic. I have always admired her. I may be wrong but she seems more content and at peace and I'm happy for her;  for that.Now I think about all of the people that didn't understand what she was trying to say all those years ago regarding the church. Very few understood the message and the problem. And believe me it isn't just the Catholic church. She was so right, and we were all just so blind. So many people owe her an apology, including me. I was never angry, though. I was just confused. \

  53. p.... ....

    Jesus, the lyrics to this are horrible. Great melody and production but yeah... Sounds like a 12 year old wrote this.

  54. C.... ....

    Love it! That smile makes ME smile :D

  55. O.... H....

    A beautiful soul

  56. J.... T....

  57. S.... 1....

    Blooming brilliant.....and moving.

  58. W.... N....

    People have been mistaking me for Sinead lately. It's a high compliment. This sweet lady is only getting better with time.

  59. J.... R....

    I love you

  60. s.... ....

    🙏☮️❤️

  62. L.... F....

  63. P.... ....

  64. R.... S....

  67. s.... ....

    She just keeps getting better with age.Keep singing Sinead.

  68. L.... D....

    Yeah Sinead! 8 good reasons to hear ya testify

  69. s.... ....

    If she only knew how much she helps people with severe problems through her music, like this song and Take Me to Church. I wish I could listen to her and talk to her about life, about what we believe and most importantly thank her. We all deserve to be loved and if I could talk to her, I would tell her that I love her as a fellow human being.

  70. G.... V....

  74. w.... ....

    I love this song.

  75. S.... ....

    "If I could've gone without hurting anyone, like a child I would have found me mum. Like a bird I would have been flown" ...I hear you...

  76. S.... R....

    1st - I've been following S'O since 'Lion and the Cobra Album' one of my greatest artist in trending music , but she also experiment in folk music, in heart and soul ... bizzness is what screwed up her emotional side added to own family problems... we tend to forget that she is just like us .... normal with up and down, she fought mostly against depression and bi-polarity... ain't easy ! I know, been there myself ... but we forget ... look up her 'Behind the scene" interview.
    2nd she writes what she feels .. Sinead .. you got one of the most beautiful soul I wished I'd met before my end.
    3rd. with that awesome voice she was/is able to play with quite a few different styles, and you can find yourselves in her words at all times , she is my music Diva.
    Take great care you Sinead a lot of peoples holds you tight in our hearts, we love you girl !

  77. A.... O....

    Valiosa, una GENIA. ¡DIOS TE BENDICE! Tu voz será aclamada ese generador de paz y conciencia que posees te hace grandiosa y única. Siempre agradecida por la buena música que me brindas.

  78. F.... L....
