Musical Monday -- What Moves You? Heartbreaker

Another Musical Monday -- What Moves You? sponsored by Diane and Jori.



This week's theme is Heartbreaker.


Sinead O'Connor, "Nothing Compares to You":






My other selection is from the soundtrack of one of my favorite movies, "The Piano", score by Michael Nyman:





In case you're not familiar with the film, the young girl dancing on the beach is "True Blood" star Anna Paquin, who was only eleven when she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her amazing performance in "The Piano".

Glad someone threw Seinead into this theme, every song that girl sings is on a personal note (I have all her stuff) but she has a fantastic voice, too bad she faded away!

I love The Piano! and the music you posted from the film is hauntingly beautiful. I remember Nothing Compares to you - that was long ago. These choices of yours really are amazing. I soo enjoyed them. Thanks for posting The Piano music.

I've not heard either song, Sinead has a strong voice! I love True Blood :) Great choices!

Sinead O'Connor was one of my favorite singers back then. She has such a powerful voice. I never have heard The Sacrifice before. Great choices! Have a wonderful week.

I’m only a so-so fan of Prince’s version of ‘Nothing Compares 2 U.’ “Nothing compares” to Sinead’s version, that‘s for sure, and even Prince himself would probably agree.

I love Nothing Compares... I really like it when Prince sings it with Rosie Gaines, too.

Are you better yet?

I miss you.
