Sinead O'Connor singing "Prayer of St Francis"

I heard this song performed live on the radio, from Dublin, on 9/12/01, or perhaps 9/13, in a special program broadcast by rte, Irish public radio, and carried live in New York on WNYC or possibly WNYE. I was alone in my apartment, grief-stricken by the events of the previous day. It was a hard week, but her beautiful rendering of this song of peace sounded right to me, touched a part of me that had gone numb, made me feel just a little hopeful when my very soul felt burnt and dark and empty. I wrote to rte and they sent me a cassette. I wish I still had it in my possession but it is still in my head and heart. It would be good to hear it again.
