The John in this song is John Stokes, who was Sinéad O'Connor's piano teacher. She sings his praises, letting him know she loves him and thinks the world of her. Although Sinéad was madly in love with him, he resisted her advances. "He wasn't interested in me at all because he was quite sensible and knew that I was completely out of my mind," she wrote in her memoir Rememberings. "Still, we were friends and I was really fond of him, loved him very, very much." Rest in Peace, Sinéad. There are many, many fans that loved you too and will miss you.

What a voice, what a talent! For years she took serious shit for her protest against the Pope and the RC church. She took a slam that she never really recovered from, and is impacted by to this day. As an Irish woman, and someone who was raised Catholic, now it seems she was very much aware of things most could not or would not talk about. She was RIGHT! Totally spot on. A very brave soul indeed!

I JUST discovered this today about the song. Keep in mind that Sinead was sent to an all-girls Catholic School, so she did know her Bible: "Book of John 3:16 - John I love You, I'm ever so fond of You. I let tears of repentance fall like rain, there's life outside your mother (Eve's) garden. // Kick off the wedding blues of the old husband (BOOK OF ROMANS 7:2-4). //Child, you're tender. (Ephesians 4:32) Your Name's a whisper. Ah, such is the new heart we receive in Christ. // (Ezekial. 36:26). This time don't let yourself die - but be born of the spirit - John 3:3 . [Not to mention The Wizard of Oz: "We're not spinning like Dorthy."-]
