Sinead O'Conner ft. Mary J Blige New Tune: "This Is To Mother You"

With Martha B.



The song is to benefit the awareness of the trafficking and sex trade of young american girls. If you like the song, please consider purchasing it via http://gems-girls.org.


Now, to the song, not sure what I think of it yet. I love the original version and love the music but something about Mary's vocals don't ring true to me. Will have to give it a couple more listens before I decide. What do you think? Thumbs up or down?

This is to mother you
To comfort you and get you through
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you
This is to be with you
To hold you and to kiss you too
For when you need me I will do
What your own mother didn't do
Which is to mother you
All the pain that you have known
All the violence in your soul
All the 'wrong' things you have done
I will take from you when I come
All mistakes made in distress
All your unhappiness
I will take away with my kiss, yes
I will give you tenderness
For child I am so glad I've found you
Although my arms have always been around you
Sweet bird although you did not see me
I saw you
And I'm here to mother you
To comfort you and get you through
Through when your nights are lonely
Through when your dreams are only blue
This is to mother you

I always dug this Sinead song. Interesting she included Mary J. in it or allowed Mary to remix it...it sounds like a remix anyway.

Nope, they recorded it together in New York last year per Sinead's official site.
