Track Of The Week: Sinead O’Brien – Limbo


SInead OBrien

Track Of The Week is Limbo, the flip-side of Sinead O’Brien‘s recent single A Thing You Call Joy.

The track was written in the midst of daily routine whilst O’Brien lived in a shared mansion in Hampstead. She takes up the story: “Stuck in static. Words catch onto branches, flowers illuminate the hill walk home, and the rubbish.”




“On the street-so close to the flowers. Limbo is not a resolute piece of work, is it a clue, an idea I have began to chase down and open up.”

“I saw the passing of days unmarked, and moments unnoticed, the in between was brimming to the surface so that I could no longer ignore it! The underlying motivation or idea in Limbo is the hook which follows itself to the end of the piece ‘Do days like this hurt the head / Or do days like this help.’ How do you make progress and turn the wheel to get out of a static place.”
