An old folk belief in Ireland held that there are 12 different winds and each has its own colour

Also (from a different source) pigs can see the wind

I've been listening to The Lion and the Cobra, Sinéad O'Connor's first album, on repeat for weeks. It has such beauty and power, the full voice of a storm

The first time I heard Mandinka, as a child, I was electrified https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z_GXwF6GE4
and still no song gives me chills like Troy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeIHZvZTJTg

At a dark time in Ireland she lit a flame with her music, her words and her actions, and she was excoriated for it. She deserved so much better

RIP, Sinéad
