Comment dire, elle fait partie intégrante de ma vie, une journée sans entendre sa voix est une journée perdue. Plus je l'écoute plus je la vois, plus je découvre que c'est la plus belle voix au monde, la plus belle âme. Je l'aime infiniment. Sa vie a été injustement tourmentée 😢, elle méritait énormément de respect et avait surtout besoin de plein d'amour. J'aurais tellement voulu la protéger de ses souffrances. Dans 20 ans et plus si je suis encore en vie, tu continueras de vivre en moi ma belle❤😢
The power & strength in her voice is like no other. It's ashame she was shunned for speaking her mind..she had so much to say. Now she's at peace, no more hurt & anguish, Sean is waiting for her. See you in a better worl & certainly "Nothing Compares 2U"...RIP Sinèad 😢
I was OBSESSED with this song in high school when it came out in the late 80's. I would listen to it in the car when my mom (rip) drove me to school and I assumed she was not enjoying it until one day out of nowhere she busts out "I'D KILL A DRAGON FOR YOOOUUUU!!!!" and we both laughed until it hurt.
I remember right after I got this cassette riding in the country with my mom listening to this. My mom is also gone and reading your post made me smile. RIP mom, I love you.
@@Itz-REX_ï And yours made me cry, in a good way. when I wrote the comment I really didn't think anyone would see it because there were so many others. Glad it brought you a smile. =)
The "You should have left a light on" refers to her cruel mother, who locked Sinéad out of the house and made her sleep in the garden shed. Sinéad used to call up to her mother begging her to let her in, or at least leave the light on. But the cries were ignored and the light coldly switched off. RIP Sinéad. You were great. You are great.
I really hate that the music industry doesn’t promote this song more, the average person who knows Sinead O’Connor only knows “nothing compares to you”. They almost never mention this song or her other works, RIP angel ❤️❤️❤️
A true force of nature, fierce like a winter storm, but fragile like the snow. Hot like a summers breeze, but nurturing like it's rain. The woman who could melt mountains with her voice. Rip dear Sinead
Women wearing a hijab can't do these things, sorry! When she was introduced to the public we saw this anti-systemic, anti-patriarchal, rebelious artist that many people admired like me. And then suddenly she converted to Islam, the religion that underestimates women as babies factory and excludes them from almost everything, letting us down. I know she suffered enough in her life so I hope she could find peace now, surrounded by NO religion at all!

My condolences on the loss of such a zeitgeist. This song helped me get through the absolute darkest year of my life yet to come. Relationship failure, eviction, job loss, murder, kidnapping, loss of my mother - I was only 17 and the summer of 1990 was putting me through the wringer. Thank you, Sinead. You never got all the rewards you were due. You never got the apologies you were owed.
Eileen .I think ( know) we are ALL Kindred Spirits in this on the FRONT LINE of Life's Adversities.i was 26 in 1990 i found God & Sinead in the same year!! What a Bonus🙏 I admired her spirit to embrace the Bible ( as did I ) & to EXPOSE the Catholic Church ,what a monster of CONTROL that has in society 😔 But it takes somebody even STRONGER 💪 to EXPOSE the lies & Deceit,I will Always ADMIRE Sinead for making a stance on child Abuse it cannot be tolerated at any level.She ALWAYS reminded me of a female John LYDON.We leave you in God's Loving care now SINEAD 🙏 Thank you for the Music of an ANGEL😇 🇬🇧
I completely agree. I cannot understand why googling "Sineed O' Connor" brings "Nothing compares to you" up first. In "Troy" she is like the Vincent van Gogh of songwriting. Nothing like this existed before, nothing like this has been made after.
This song has always meant everything to me,for me it represents my life at 18 yrs old as a single mother living in a bedsit. Singing this song got me through my depression and anger at life. The whole album I know off by heart. ❤ I’m 55 now and still love her. Rest in peace Sinead you beautiful soul. 😢 xxx condolences to the family and much love to everyone. ❤xxx
Saved my life... My heart just broke.. I can't believe she is gone into flame..so young so alive.. listening to this song after so long . This warrior will live within my soul for eternity.. rest in peace.. I love all of you and everyone of you who can feel this song .. this is powerful beautiful pain with the jagged fierce power of a woman's fury and faithful love
She was so beautiful and had such a fire and fury within her 🕊️ poor thing experienced such grief that broke her heart and took her from this world god bless 🙏🏽🫶🏼🙏🏽🕊️
This is the first song video I chose to come to in honor of this proud Irish sonic force of Woman. I pray her soul is at peace with Shane and the pain inside her has ceased. That loss, that anger, that skewing of inner peace is something I wish I could strip her legacy of, but her pain birthed artist outputs that elevated her to be the exceptional artist she was. Sinead you have marked many of our collective hearts.
Yes, This was the first song I knew her by - and her first album I believe (CD). This song is so intense, not many songs or singers have the ability to convey such a deep intensity you can feel cut through you. It's too heavy for me now - but back then, I played it over and over. RIP Sinead O'Conner!!! RIP!
It was also my 'introduction'' to Sinead. What an overwhelming voice she had. Perhaps you once want to watch 'My man's ohne now' by Gershwin tue Studio Version on you Tube!? Perhaps you know it already. If bot, I'd like to recommend it. It's so touching😔🙋🏻♀️
@@victoriakallimorou5909 'ain't that a fact! Sandy Denny and Joni Mitchell both wrote their best songs imo in their teens. Isn't that the age when we demand answers to the most pertinent of questions
You can only say that if you haven't heard 'Black Boys On Mopeds", 'Haunted' (live with Shane McGowan) or the live verse Sinead performed for 'Belfast Child' with Simple Minds.
100% agree, although there are a few other contenders- Black Boys on Mopeds, Three Babies. The intensity of this song and how it moves through sadness to empowerment, rage, resilience and acceptance is phenomenal. It's always touched my heart, and given me a sense of emotional understanding and strength.
You are clueless. The christian crusades killed over half the worlds population. Since then wars in the name of christianity have killed many billions of people. Not to mention telling gullible humans that they are superior and have dominion over the earth and all animals, has resulted in the destruction of the earths forests and killed most all wildlife and made the oceans vast dead zones. Christianity is far and away the worst evil to ever befall the beautiful earth.
I do agree her music was more emotive in the beginning, really grabbed one's heartstrings, and I admire your view, but it did not stop at 'The Lion & The Cobra'....for me, Sinead’s music isn’t supposed to sound catchy. It isn’t necessarily about the instruments, but about the instruments following or guiding her voice [the main instrument], and her voice is one of the best in the industry! Her melodies aren’t defined in the realms of mastering techniques, compression, high-polished guitar solo’s, synth lines, etc.. Her music doesn’t follow the predictable rhythm of what sounds fresh to the ear. That’s what separates her from the streetwalkers of the music industry who’ll work with just about anybody to make a quick buck or grab the latest sound. The backbone and substance of O’Connor’s songs are rooted in authentic storytelling, they cannot be sold off or edited for commercial approval, producer favor, which is significant in her genuine the emotive melodies that align perfectly through lyrics and topics that either uplift you or aggravate you. Her story has to be felt with the listener or it won’t be understood. That’s honestly what music is supposed to be like. I know that for me, I can feel her sensitive soul shine, ignite and fill that euphonious framework with a zealot passion that refuses to be forgotten. To me that extends just mere talent.
Hearing this song for the first time as a young teenager in the 80s absolutely blew my mind. Her intensity, and the beauty and power of that voice knocked me for a loop. RIP Sinead. Thanks.
This. This has always been my favorite song of hers. I was 17 when I bought this album. I'd never heard anything like it. Troy has always and will always give me chills.
This album, and specifically THIS SONG, is absolutely foundational to the massive role which music plays in my life. I had never experienced music which was so deeply intimate, and yet so earth-shakingly powerful. Sinéad deserved so much better - I can only hope her desperately tortured soul is at peace at last.
Exactly how I see it. Well said. Troy is up there with any song ever produced - the imagery, the power in her voice, the reference to No Second Troy, the tragic theme, all sung by a beautiful and righteous soul. I'm sure Sinead and WB Yeats are comparing notes right now.
Rest in peace to one of the most fiercest, beautiful, talented and tortured musicians ever. The legend that is Sinèad O'Connor.. 'There is no other Troy for you to burn now' 😢
A song that plays out like a movie. So underrated, and powerful like Queen of Denmark. Sinead brought us so much and there's still more to discover than the obvious.
She was a rare gem in this world, with a raw and unique essence that only a few could truly comprehend, but those fortunate enough to understand her, experienced salvation through her music . Thank you, Sinead, for being irreplaceable - there will never be anyone like you. May you find eternal peace now. Your music has left an indelible mark on my soul, providing me with a lifetime supply of solace and healing.
What a song, no not a song, this is art! Her voice, the drama in this song, all is masterclass! According me by far her best song. A great singer has been lost forever, may she rest in peace ❤
Dublin 1987. Not a rainstorm - more of a brainstorm. The realisation of a young man that a girl singer could kick ass. Thanks Sinead for leaving me awestruck at the creative capability of Irish women.
This song speaks volumes. This album needs to be heard more. May your soul fly freely, Sinead. You did all that you needed to, especially making many aware of the atrocities done by the church. May you find yourself reconnected with your son.
When I first heard this song it stopped me in my tracks, I froze on the spot. The sheer force of Sinead’s powerful voice and the haunting, heartwrenching lyrics shook me to the core. To me this song transcends all others in emotional impact. It speaks of raw, unbridled, wretched heartbreak. When I need a strong emotional catharsis I go to this song.
I totally agree, just could not have put into words like you did. I had the same reaction the very first time I heard her singing on TV, around this time of this album "The Lion and the Cobra" - I was mesmerized! This is my favourite Sinead song.
This is one of my top 10 favorite songs of ALL TIME. I am a huge music person with a vast collection so that is really saying something. It's friggin haunting! She has the BEST voice ever!!!!!! Sinead O'Connor is a world treasure.
Y'all are funny! I apologize Victoria. I saw this 6 months ago and then had a VERY busy 6 months. Sometimes life just happens. I will make a commitment to think about this over the next couple of days and come up with a definitive list.
@@Andrei-sm3er Ok. These are in no particular order. Just all in the top ten. The Four Tops - Reach Out, I'll Be There; Bette Middler - The Rose; The Supremes - Reflections; The Spinners - Working My Way Back To You Babe; The Posies - Flood of Sunshine; George Harrison - What is Life; The Beatles - A Day in the Life; The Bee Gees - Staying Alive & To Love Somebody. If we're going for top twenty I will also include the Rolling Stones - Can't You Hear Me Knocking; Elton John - Saturday is Alright for Fighting; Audioslave - I am the Highway; Def Leppard - Rock of Ages; Nirvana - Covering Leadbelly's In the Pines; Quiet Riot - Metal Health; Culture Club - White Boys Can't Control It; Michael Jackson - Billie Jean; Prince - Let's Go Crazy; Queen - Another One Bites the Dust. Sorry for the delay! I REALLY LOVE a lot of music and it was so hard to narrow it down out of thousands and thousands of songs that are special. I think I went with the ones that are not only musically appealing to me but the ones that have the most sentimental value.
I remember listening to Sinead sing this in Bristol in the Colston Hall. She played before INXS in 1987 and she was unbelievable. Her voice filled the place. She didnt need anything but herself in all black with her monkey boots. Great memories. RIP 🙏 ✝️
Yes, every song. For me, 'Just Like U Said It Would B' rivals this one as the best songs on the album... but every song is so good it's pointless to compare.
This is still the absolutely best song I’ve ever heard. I remember when I first, as a 13 year old boy, saw this video. I already loved the song. But the video was so shocking, so naked. At first I didn’t like it. It was too naked, crept too far under the skin. But fascination took over. If you ask me this is a true masterpiece, not only musically but also visually.
She will find peace in her next incarnation. I will chant, Nam Myoho Renge Kyo for her to have a happier life. She will see her son again as well. She is unforgettable!
I remember watching Troy after school one day on 'much music'.(I am 56) I felt an automatic connection to this golden faced punk girl and didn't know why.I will miss you Sinead.😢
Definitely extraordinary. But she got a lot from the world tho, didn't she? What more can you ask than these chances she had and this sort of career - countless people were as talented and never got this break. Everything else is of your own making then.
It's not often songs give me chills, but this one give me chills more than once. It's so powerful. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard it for the first time, and that was just a few days ago. I had only heard a few of her songs before this week, which I loved, but for some reason I didn't listen to more. But after learning more about her I felt like she is someone I might need in my life, someone to look up to and someone who can give me strength, and I was right. I wish I had discovered her sooner, but at the same time I'm glad I discovered her now because if my heart is this broken now, I can't believe what her long-time fans must feel. I hope she's at peace.
This song has always meant so much. You were so fierce, vulnerable, raw, authentic, intelligent and beautiful. Rest easy Sinead, I’m so sorry 💔 I’ll always love you ❤️
Tears have been rolling down my cheeks off n on all day...her music her depth...her death have triggered such intense emotion...as she did as a 17yr old leaving home, coming out in the late 80s and severe heartbreak that had me on the brink of suicide....no artist has touched the depths of my heart like Sinead....so much suffering beautiful soul and you were so misunderstood...I hope you have finally found some peace
👩🏻🦲My new Iphone wallpaper it's in tribute to Sinead O'Conner I can't believe she is no longer here on earth there has been a few female singers that have left a tattoo on my heart and soul she stood up for herself,and her beliefs, and face a ton of challenges plus a lot people hating her because of them it takes a lot of courage and determination plus effort to stand for what you believe in I loved everything about her she was a a warrior that stood the good fight never fear the feelings that you have inside speak because sometimes one word can make a difference R.I.P 👩🦲
This song... this whole ALBUM, is incredible. Her subsequent work is fine, but this is the one that strikes like lightning and stays with you for a lifetime.
Beautiful, raw and visceral. Chills every time I listen ✨ Thank you for your beautiful music, Sinead. You were too pure for this world. Rest in paradise ❤️💜
I don’t know what to do. Her death has affected me more than I ever thought it would/could. My family and friends don’t understand why I feel the depth of her loss. We are so lucky that her presence gifted us all and long may that ripple on 🙏🏻🩵✨🌻 Thank you Sinead.
I hear you - that it hit you hard and you don't know what to do. I hope you are able to find supportive people. When I am grieving and dk how to handle it, I call the local hospice provider. They know all about dying and living with the death of someone else.
She said in interview that it was both healing and traumatizing to perform this song and after a time, she couldn't perform it live anymore I see why It must be one of our world's most powerful songs Thank you Sinead 💜
If you don't mind my asking, can you elaborate on the meaning of the lyrics. I read somewhere that it referred to her mother, other times it sounds like a romantic relationship broken..
First song from Sinead I ever heard. I was blown away. The lyrics are so intense. You visualize the story. You feel her pain. That voice...simply heart-wrenching. Best Album ever.
Hi…I'm in Eastern Australia so the 26th of July 2024 is about 3 hours away - that is, one whole year since we lost this extraordinary soul and extraordinarily beautiful human being. For me personally and I'm pretty sure, for many of you…Sinead O'Connor was more than inspiration as an indescribably gifted musician…she was also inspiration as a strong person - who happened to be a woman - and a relentless leader who unashamedly and unapologetically stormed her way through her given territory, leaving a wake of truth…no matter how disruptive - it made it's mark and justifiably so. I was always in awe of this incredible lady, in so many ways. I remember watching a recent clip of her on stage with Van Morrison…and her humility was so sweet and so damn touching. 'The Lion & The Cobra' from 1987 is one of my top fav albums - yep vinyl - still have it in immaculate yet well played condition - because, I come from an era when playing records and treasuring 'things' was important. We looked after stuff and we enjoyed sharing our appreciation through actions. I'm not quite a boomer but I'm fkg glad I lived to experience those times. But the world is emptier since Sinead left but may she have found her peace. Thank you God. Good one 🎶👍
Arguably her BEST track.. nothing like it then and nothing like it now. The voice, the intensity, her look.... this is her legacy, not a Prince cover. No matter what you think of her and the life she led, she was the consummate artist. Did what she wanted on her terms.Very sad day.
This was the first song of hers I ever heard. Thank goodness for the old CFNY out of Toronto. I immediately had to go and track down _The Lion and the Cobra,_ and I was not disappointed. Still love it. Snagged tickets to see her when she played a local college campus (probably summer of 1988, still have the ticket stub around here somewhere). I remember being absolutely blown away. Sinéad, if your spirit is still out there and able to somehow see this, know you're loved and appreciated for your genius and talent.
The spirit never dies 🌟⚡️✨💛 Your soul is your platform That’s your world stage your spirit you Performing to an audience of one to one The one inside Self And God is watching over us ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
This is the one of the most outstanding modern compositions I have ever heard,and written when Sinead was 16-17 ! thats mind blowing for such a young person. So much talent....I'm in awe ,never will tire of it.
This is one of the best songs on the planet, it is SO iconic. I get goosebumps every time I hear it, it still moves me as much as it did when I first heard it so many years ago. RIP Sinead
Even after all these years this song is still incredibly difficult to listen to when you truly understand what it means. It's power and bitterness is relentless. Magnificent.
@@karinedeschamps Yes, its about her mother who was suffering from depression, and horridly abused her, sexually and physically. Locked her in a room and took the light bulb out, so she was left in a dark lock room for 48 hrs. Some time later, she was killed in a car crash, and she sings about how she felt about what happened to her.
Was shocked when I heard she passed today. This song takes me back to being 14 yrs old. Such amazing vocals. She was so underrated. So much scandal and sadness. RIP Sinead. 😢

Same. I saw this music video late one night while at a party, and the next day I bought The Lion and the Cobra.

This was also my introduction to Sinead. I was blown away by her intenseness.
How does somebody write a song this epic on their first album?
All artists create their best at a very young age. Double checked
LEGENDARY.
@@victoriakallimorou5909 'ain't that a fact! Sandy Denny and Joni Mitchell both wrote their best songs imo in their teens. Isn't that the age when we demand answers to the most pertinent of questions
It's called being Irish!
she is a censored voice, and we all be in time. facts jd
One of the most powerfully emotional songs ever written.
Sadly so
You can only say that if you haven't heard 'Black Boys On Mopeds", 'Haunted' (live with Shane McGowan) or the live verse Sinead performed for 'Belfast Child' with Simple Minds.
100% agree, although there are a few other contenders- Black Boys on Mopeds, Three Babies. The intensity of this song and how it moves through sadness to empowerment, rage, resilience and acceptance is phenomenal. It's always touched my heart, and given me a sense of emotional understanding and strength.
Troubled yes ( thank her mother) but even braver for calling out social injustices. Seriously misunderstood. Most powerful song ever.
Calling out social injustices, and the Catholic Church then joining Islam which is infinitely more barbaric.
You are clueless. The christian crusades killed over half the worlds population. Since then wars in the name of christianity have killed many billions of people. Not to mention telling gullible humans that they are superior and have dominion over the earth and all animals, has resulted in the destruction of the earths forests and killed most all wildlife and made the oceans vast dead zones. Christianity is far and away the worst evil to ever befall the beautiful earth.
This song and that voice still gives me goosebumps. RIP Sinead, you beautiful, fragile soul.
Probably the best Sinead O'Connor song
+AceVoyage ....from the only good album she has 'the lion and the cobra'...her vocals were always ok but the music sucked big time later on...
Try: I feel so different (live)
I do agree her music was more emotive in the beginning, really grabbed one's heartstrings, and I admire your view, but it did not stop at 'The Lion & The Cobra'....for me, Sinead’s music isn’t supposed to sound catchy. It isn’t necessarily about the instruments, but about the instruments following or guiding her voice [the main instrument], and her voice is one of the best in the industry! Her melodies aren’t defined in the realms of mastering techniques, compression, high-polished guitar solo’s, synth lines, etc.. Her music doesn’t follow the predictable rhythm of what sounds fresh to the ear. That’s what separates her from the streetwalkers of the music industry who’ll work with just about anybody to make a quick buck or grab the latest sound. The backbone and substance of O’Connor’s songs are rooted in authentic storytelling, they cannot be sold off or edited for commercial approval, producer favor, which is significant in her genuine the emotive melodies that align perfectly through lyrics and topics that either uplift you or aggravate you. Her story has to be felt with the listener or it won’t be understood. That’s honestly what music is supposed to be like. I know that for me, I can feel her sensitive soul shine, ignite and fill that euphonious framework with a zealot passion that refuses to be forgotten. To me that extends just mere talent.
Troy is absolutely Sinead O'Connor's best song.
My favorite tune of hers.
Hearing this song for the first time as a young teenager in the 80s absolutely blew my mind. Her intensity, and the beauty and power of that voice knocked me for a loop. RIP Sinead. Thanks.
This. This has always been my favorite song of hers. I was 17 when I bought this album. I'd never heard anything like it. Troy has always and will always give me chills.
@@michelleandrews2522 Me too
This album, and specifically THIS SONG, is absolutely foundational to the massive role which music plays in my life. I had never experienced music which was so deeply intimate, and yet so earth-shakingly powerful. Sinéad deserved so much better - I can only hope her desperately tortured soul is at peace at last.
Exactly how I see it. Well said. Troy is up there with any song ever produced - the imagery, the power in her voice, the reference to No Second Troy, the tragic theme, all sung by a beautiful and righteous soul. I'm sure Sinead and WB Yeats are comparing notes right now.
Ditto. Also applies to SEALs first album.
Very well said. I couldn't agree more. The Lion and the Cobra is a masterpiece which everyone should experience.
@@PeterYates-kb4hp I agree
Rest in peace to one of the most fiercest, beautiful, talented and tortured musicians ever. The legend that is Sinèad O'Connor.. 'There is no other Troy for you to burn now' 😢
A song that plays out like a movie. So underrated, and powerful like Queen of Denmark. Sinead brought us so much and there's still more to discover than the obvious.
Rest easy, Sinead. This world never deserved you.
speak for yourself
It really didn't...
She was raw ancient magic on a soul level. RIP 😭💔🙏
This is an unbelievable piece of music. It's like an opera squeezed into six minutes.
Yes!
Came here immediately. Rest in power, you changed my taste in music forever.
She was a rare gem in this world, with a raw and unique essence that only a few could truly comprehend, but those fortunate enough to understand her, experienced salvation through her music . Thank you, Sinead, for being irreplaceable - there will never be anyone like you. May you find eternal peace now. Your music has left an indelible mark on my soul, providing me with a lifetime supply of solace and healing.
What a song, no not a song, this is art! Her voice, the drama in this song, all is masterclass! According me by far her best song. A great singer has been lost forever, may she rest in peace ❤
I agree
She was physically beaten by her mother from
Young age , you can hear her pain abc story in this song
Rest in Power. May your peace be eternal. Your words, your love, your voice lives on within our hearts. Thank you, Sinead. Thank you.❤
❤
❤WOW
thoughtfully said!
Beautiful message ✌🏼♥️👍🏼
I was obsessed with this song as well
Rip this song means a lot to me. You are with your son now again.
underrated masterpiece
PERFECT SINEAD O'CONNOR I MISSSS YOU
I agree with u. This album is well-engineered and her voice is more beautiful and stronger than any other woman's , I think.
as all ways. :(:(:(
@@javierbarreto4094 see is back now. :):):)
Who says underrated? Undeniable masterpiece
Beautiful voice - i stop my car when she makes this song ! Come back - soon
She‘s gone but this masterpiece will stay forever. You‘ll be missed😢 RIP
Dublin 1987. Not a rainstorm - more of a brainstorm.
The realisation of a young man that a girl singer could kick ass.
Thanks Sinead for leaving me awestruck at the creative capability of Irish women.
This song speaks volumes. This album needs to be heard more. May your soul fly freely, Sinead. You did all that you needed to, especially making many aware of the atrocities done by the church. May you find yourself reconnected with your son.
The greatest female voice ever to come out of Ireland. Love you Sinead.
Apart from 'Bewitched' Girls! lol
Orla Fallon?
***** Enya uses electronic vocal tricks, even when singing live.
+Tony Quinn and Roisini Murphy.
The singer from the Cranberries, isn't she Irish aswell?
Undoubtedly her best song, this song represents all her talents so well. One of a kind!
I grew up listening and will always play this beautiful strong song.she is one of the greats
Sinéad, you were as punk rock as it gets. Rock on, sis.
i cant believe i'm saying this but rest in peace and power. one of the best artists of our time.
a once in a generation talent: that voice, those eyes
Wow, didn't hear this for a while.
Goosebumps and crying.
Dear Sinèad, I hope you`ll rise like a Phoenix from the flame!
more like burn out and forgotten :D
@@mannyechaluce3814 Because this world sucks. She deserves more.
When I first heard this song it stopped me in my tracks, I froze on the spot. The sheer force of Sinead’s powerful voice and the haunting, heartwrenching lyrics shook me to the core. To me this song transcends all others in emotional impact. It speaks of raw, unbridled, wretched heartbreak. When I need a strong emotional catharsis I go to this song.
Only people who really know music profoundly understand that. And I do too.
Damien Holland A kindred spirit you are then Damien. Thank you.
I totally agree, just could not have put into words like you did. I had the same reaction the very first time I heard her singing on TV, around this time of this album "The Lion and the Cobra" - I was mesmerized! This is my favourite Sinead song.
You've expressed exactly how I felt! Nice to see I'm not alone!
Sherry Pellerin Thanks very much for your comment. This is my favourite Sinead song too.
This is one of my top 10 favorite songs of ALL TIME. I am a huge music person with a vast collection so that is really saying something. It's friggin haunting! She has the BEST voice ever!!!!!! Sinead O'Connor is a world treasure.
Which are the other 9 tops?
Yes, @Victoria Kallimorou - I'd be very interested in Domique's Top 10 list too !
Y'all are funny! I apologize Victoria. I saw this 6 months ago and then had a VERY busy 6 months. Sometimes life just happens. I will make a commitment to think about this over the next couple of days and come up with a definitive list.
@@DominiqueGarofalo 5 days already passed, man, we're waiting
@@Andrei-sm3er Ok. These are in no particular order. Just all in the top ten. The Four Tops - Reach Out, I'll Be There; Bette Middler - The Rose; The Supremes - Reflections; The Spinners - Working My Way Back To You Babe; The Posies - Flood of Sunshine; George Harrison - What is Life; The Beatles - A Day in the Life; The Bee Gees - Staying Alive & To Love Somebody. If we're going for top twenty I will also include the Rolling Stones - Can't You Hear Me Knocking; Elton John - Saturday is Alright for Fighting; Audioslave - I am the Highway; Def Leppard - Rock of Ages; Nirvana - Covering Leadbelly's In the Pines; Quiet Riot - Metal Health; Culture Club - White Boys Can't Control It; Michael Jackson - Billie Jean; Prince - Let's Go Crazy; Queen - Another One Bites the Dust.
Sorry for the delay! I REALLY LOVE a lot of music and it was so hard to narrow it down out of thousands and thousands of songs that are special. I think I went with the ones that are not only musically appealing to me but the ones that have the most sentimental value.
I remember listening to Sinead sing this in Bristol in the Colston Hall. She played before INXS in 1987 and she was unbelievable. Her voice filled the place. She didnt need anything but herself in all black with her monkey boots.
Great memories. RIP 🙏 ✝️
This album still blows me away, especially this song.
Yes, every song. For me, 'Just Like U Said It Would B' rivals this one as the best songs on the album... but every song is so good it's pointless to compare.
This is still the absolutely best song I’ve ever heard. I remember when I first, as a 13 year old boy, saw this video. I already loved the song. But the video was so shocking, so naked. At first I didn’t like it. It was too naked, crept too far under the skin. But fascination took over. If you ask me this is a true masterpiece, not only musically but also visually.
Yes, considering the time and place . Hopefully she finds her peace and she can truly enjoy her son. ❤
Me too - probably my favourite song on earth. RIP
Agreed. And well said.
Gets under your skin and gives you chills.
RIP 🌹
She will find peace in her next incarnation. I will chant, Nam Myoho Renge Kyo for her to have a happier life. She will see her son again as well.
She is unforgettable!
I wholeheartedly agree! Crank it up!
I remember watching Troy after school one day on 'much music'.(I am 56) I felt an automatic connection to this golden faced punk girl and didn't know why.I will miss you Sinead.😢
This hits harder than nothing compares 2u
Sinead you are no ordinary talent. You deserved more from the world
Laleen Jonas deserveS
Omg this the very best fucking song that I have ever had ever heard from her. Good afternoon
Definitely extraordinary. But she got a lot from the world tho, didn't she? What more can you ask than these chances she had and this sort of career - countless people were as talented and never got this break. Everything else is of your own making then.
Laleen Jonas sinead o connor world artist ireland yes yes numéro one
So true
R.I.P. Sinead. Do zobaczenia w lepszym świecie. Dzięki za emocje. 😢😢😢
piekne i szczere emocje😮💨
Is that written in Irish? What does it say?
One of most powerful songs ever.
Complete masterpiece, one of the top songs ever penned
First song I heard from her and her absolute best. I'll never understand why this wasn't played more, it's absolutely sensational.
After so many years it's still pure, pure magic. What a song, what a singer.
It's not often songs give me chills, but this one give me chills more than once. It's so powerful. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard it for the first time, and that was just a few days ago. I had only heard a few of her songs before this week, which I loved, but for some reason I didn't listen to more. But after learning more about her I felt like she is someone I might need in my life, someone to look up to and someone who can give me strength, and I was right. I wish I had discovered her sooner, but at the same time I'm glad I discovered her now because if my heart is this broken now, I can't believe what her long-time fans must feel. I hope she's at peace.
This song got me through a difficult break up, screaming it in the car was cathartic!
RIP Sinead, I hope you and your son are reunited x
What an Epic and Raw performance by one of the most underrated vocalists of the century. RIP, Sinead you were phenomenal
Her best tune , in my opinion..masterclass
This song has always meant so much. You were so fierce, vulnerable, raw, authentic, intelligent and beautiful.
Rest easy Sinead, I’m so sorry 💔 I’ll always love you ❤️
Tears have been rolling down my cheeks off n on all day...her music her depth...her death have triggered such intense emotion...as she did as a 17yr old leaving home, coming out in the late 80s and severe heartbreak that had me on the brink of suicide....no artist has touched the depths of my heart like Sinead....so much suffering beautiful soul and you were so misunderstood...I hope you have finally found some peace
👩🏻🦲My new Iphone wallpaper it's in tribute to Sinead O'Conner I can't believe she is no longer here on earth there has been a few female singers that have left a tattoo on my heart and soul she stood up for herself,and her beliefs, and face a ton of challenges plus a lot people hating her because of them it takes a lot of courage and determination plus effort to stand for what you believe in I loved everything about her she was a a warrior that stood the good fight never fear the feelings that you have inside speak because sometimes one word can make a difference R.I.P 👩🦲
@@dedebones1967 Beautiful comment . ❤️
my favourite of her songs. RIP, troubled soul.
This song... this whole ALBUM, is incredible. Her subsequent work is fine, but this is the one that strikes like lightning and stays with you for a lifetime.
Universal Mother is quite amazing too, though in a much different way.
Was never a fan. Too sleepy.
Beautiful, raw and visceral. Chills every time I listen ✨
Thank you for your beautiful music, Sinead.
You were too pure for this world.
Rest in paradise ❤️💜
I don’t know what to do.
Her death has affected me more than I ever thought it would/could.
My family and friends don’t understand why I feel the depth of her loss.
We are so lucky that her presence gifted us all and long may that ripple on 🙏🏻🩵✨🌻
Thank you Sinead.
I hear you - that it hit you hard and you don't know what to do. I hope you are able to find supportive people.
When I am grieving and dk how to handle it, I call the local hospice provider. They know all about dying and living with the death of someone else.
Same. It hurts losing such a beautiful soul
I understand you.Feel the same.
She is incredible. No one belts it out with such raw emotion. Long live her talent.
What we had, this music, this artist, in the 80's and 90's. And some think we know nothing. RIP our heroine
She really deserved much better in this world. Everyone thought she was crazy, then the truth came out, and she was trying to protect the children.
She still gives me goose bumps to this day! Her music helped me learn how to sing. You are so very loved Sinead O'Connor ❤
She said in interview that it was both healing and traumatizing to perform this song and after a time, she couldn't perform it live anymore
I see why
It must be one of our world's most powerful songs
Thank you Sinead 💜
If you don't mind my asking, can you elaborate on the meaning of the lyrics. I read somewhere that it referred to her mother, other times it sounds like a romantic relationship broken..
@@TK-zj5hy its referred to her mother and whats happend to her in her youth
This is THE song. The first song i've ever recorded on cassette tape from the tv speaker. I was 12. Goodbye dear Sinéad ❤
I swear her soaring vocals can be heard even space. She's such a talent.
Not her most famous song, but always a favourite of mine. RIP Sinead!
Not her most famous, just her best.
Same here
The passion and rage in her voice... Long before Alanis Morrisette. This album is cathartic and stunning.
Her voice,her every thing KILLS friggin Alanis Morrisette..... good God!!!!
Alanis Morrisette sounds like a cat being dragged 🤣
@@harpsailorharp6716gg omg jajajajja you are so right
First song from Sinead I ever heard. I was blown away. The lyrics are so intense. You visualize the story. You feel her pain. That voice...simply heart-wrenching. Best Album ever.
Watching this lovely lady last night and again empires new clothes xxxx
Hi…I'm in Eastern Australia so the 26th of July 2024 is about 3 hours away - that is, one whole year since we lost this extraordinary soul and extraordinarily beautiful human being. For me personally and I'm pretty sure, for many of you…Sinead O'Connor was more than inspiration as an indescribably gifted musician…she was also inspiration as a strong person - who happened to be a woman - and a relentless leader who unashamedly and unapologetically stormed her way through her given territory, leaving a wake of truth…no matter how disruptive - it made it's mark and justifiably so. I was always in awe of this incredible lady, in so many ways.
I remember watching a recent clip of her on stage with Van Morrison…and her humility was so sweet and so damn touching.
'The Lion & The Cobra' from 1987 is one of my top fav albums - yep vinyl - still have it in immaculate yet well played condition - because, I come from an era when playing records and treasuring 'things' was important. We looked after stuff and we enjoyed sharing our appreciation through actions. I'm not quite a boomer but I'm fkg glad I lived to experience those times.
But the world is emptier since Sinead left but may she have found her peace. Thank you God. Good one 🎶👍
and RIP Troy…my love.
Arguably her BEST track.. nothing like it then and nothing like it now. The voice, the intensity, her look.... this is her legacy, not a Prince cover. No matter what you think of her and the life she led, she was the consummate artist. Did what she wanted on her terms.Very sad day.
This was the first song of hers I ever heard. Thank goodness for the old CFNY out of Toronto. I immediately had to go and track down _The Lion and the Cobra,_ and I was not disappointed. Still love it. Snagged tickets to see her when she played a local college campus (probably summer of 1988, still have the ticket stub around here somewhere). I remember being absolutely blown away.
Sinéad, if your spirit is still out there and able to somehow see this, know you're loved and appreciated for your genius and talent.
The spirit never dies 🌟⚡️✨💛
Your soul is your platform
That’s your world stage your spirit you
Performing to an audience of one to one
The one inside Self
And God is watching over us ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
She was a fuckin powerhouse in the late eighties.
I had tears in my eyes when i heard today about Sinead’s demise and I thought of this masterpiece song. Rest easy beautiful lady xxxx
This is the one of the most outstanding modern compositions I have ever heard,and written when Sinead was 16-17 ! thats mind blowing for such a young person.
So much talent....I'm in awe ,never will tire of it.
SO much talent...so much pain. Stunning.
This is one of the best songs on the planet, it is SO iconic. I get goosebumps every time I hear it, it still moves me as much as it did when I first heard it so many years ago. RIP Sinead
I was thinking about this song today before I found out that she died. I have no words.
Even after all these years this song is still incredibly difficult to listen to when you truly understand what it means. It's power and bitterness is relentless. Magnificent.
do you know the story behind it? I don't. Would you share what you know? I know about he rlife and childhood, but not the origin of this tune.
@@karinedeschamps Yes, its about her mother who was suffering from depression, and horridly abused her, sexually and physically. Locked her in a room and took the light bulb out, so she was left in a dark lock room for 48 hrs. Some time later, she was killed in a car crash, and she sings about how she felt about what happened to her.
@@dlibby4979 thank you. ❤
I concur.
If you wat to know more you should listen to the intervieuw with Dr. Phil she did.
When she screams "I will return the Phoenix from the flame!", I get goose bumps.
RIP
Was shocked when I heard she passed today. This song takes me back to being 14 yrs old. Such amazing vocals. She was so underrated. So much scandal and sadness. RIP Sinead. 😢
This is what singing actually sounds like. God bless.
Yes!!!!!❤❤❤❤
All her songs were amazing and her voice was unbelievable,should have been more recognised for what she was,songs were from the heart 😢
Start car, pop in cassette, back out of driveway, 100% your time, you are now completely unreachable. 1980s!
Insanely powerful in the '90s and just as potent now. Sinead's iconic voice will live on forever 🌠
Strong contender for the greatest song of all time.
🔥🔥🔥🐉
Totally agree. Masterpiece.
@@o.9428 I agree
This is the song I will remember her by.
This is a masterpiece.
