The song can now be heard in the final episode of The Woman In The Wall
A Sinead O’Connor song which was previously unreleased has aired on a BBC One show. The late Irish singer-songwriter gave psychological drama The Woman In The Wall the permission to use The Magdalene Song and it aired at the end of the last episode on Sunday.
According to Chrysalis Records, the use of the song was proposed by her producer, the Belfast DJ and composer David Holmes, and was “approved by Sinead before her passing”. Holmes told the Observer: “The first half of the track is completely heartbreaking, and the second half is pure defiance. In the BBC series, Tipperary actor Daryl McCormack stars as Detective Colman Akande opposite British actress Ruth Wilson – who takes on the role of Lorna Brady. The show follows Lorna, who has suffered from bouts of sleepwalking after being put in the Catholic institution as a teenager when she became pregnant, as Colman investigates the death of a priest.
“She never really spoke about the meaning of her songs. She used to joke that she would often tell people that her songs were about something completely different to what they were about.”
