@@booshallmighty exactly, he said to me, you probably like her voice because there is so much emotion in it, but it does nothing for me because she doesn't have a great voice.
@@celesteteacher3956 That doesn't mean everyone who dislikes this song or her voice is s sociopath though. It could just be a matter of personal taste, and that's ok.
Prince wrote it, Chris Cornell may have sung it later, but this is THE version of this song. No.1 in the UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Italy etc. etc. etc. and in the US, where Billboard called it 'The No1 World Single of 1990'.
You said it Neil. Her version is the one, even though it's almost impossible to beat Prince at his game. Me personally I can not stand Chris Cornell's singing. By all, accounts he was a top guy, and had a powerful range. But his version grates on me.
I came home late one night in 90 and turned on MTV, this came on and I remember standing in front of the TV in total AWE. By the end of the song I found myself on my knees just a couple of feet from the TV with tears in my eyes. It was an incredible experience. I wish I could see it again for the first time.
me too. i was 18, in Dublin, Ireland, hanging out with school friends watching MTV. This came on, and although we all knew Sinead from 'Mandinka' this literally floored us. it was a benchmark moment in my life when I realized how powerful music could be and what a genius Sinead was.
Jayy I found you your show about six weeks ago your show is the first thing I check daily when I get online. Your attitude and your spirit listening to songs that you have never heard before watching your emotions and how dedicated you are to music makes me smile from ear-to-ear. Please don't ever change you are an amazing young lady keep up the good work.
I saw her singing with Peter Gabriel and I got a very close look at her. I think she was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in the flesh, she glowed, it was extraordinary.
she really was BEAUTIFULL in the essence of the word.....that FACE + EYES......i must admit i dont normally find the shaved head on women attractive as i go for that tradional long hair feminine look but on Sinead it actually doesnt bother me as im always captivated by her beauty.....and of course her voice was pure heaven! herself and Dolores O Riordan of the Cranberries (both Irish women) were very similar in both beautify and voice though also having their own unique identities......infact now that i think of it Andrea Corr + Moira Brennan.............somthing about irish/celtic women and that natural beauty!
Nooo they were not. Everybody cried while they jerked off to the song but they all wanted to be petty and give her shit for shaving her head and not wearing make up. That's the most brave a straight woman can be sometimes I think. Everybody slept on her and disregarded the soul
One of the most raw and honest performances I've ever seen. I like her version better than the original by Prince or any that have followed. I mean they're great but Sinead owns this song.
Written by Prince who himself I believe said that Sinead owned this song with her version and before this video was filmed unfortunately Sinead's mother had passed away so the raw emotion and the tears that fall are the reason why💔
Absolutely - her channelling all that emotion and the stare out to camera on the 'To You' chills me every time and I can feel the tears starting - such a powerful emotive singer
Sinead was cancelled in the 90s for something that today would not be considered controversial at all. She tore a picture of the Pope in half on Saturday Night Live in protest of the Catholic Church. She had one of the best voices that has ever been recorded.
Until that point the catholic diocese and the pope were untouchable and could do no wrong, but after john paul died in the early 2000s, all the nasty stories they had swept under the rug started to come into the light...
For feal. Im 39 this april. This song got me as a kid, and it still gets me every SINGLE time. Its the AMAZING and beautiful thing about music. It transcends into the metaphysical. The group consciousness. Such a unifying phenomena.
Irish -Strong -Brave - Beautiful intelligent people that have been Persecuted for hundreds of years and still remain deeply Faithful to God and Jesus his Beloved son
As a 17 year old lad at the time this video came out it was hard not to fall in love with this woman ,beautiful face ,amazing voice and that tear drop near the end of the video is heartbreaking x
What shreds my heart is the part where she sings "I know living with your baby was sometimes hard..." the sheer heartbreak and anguish in her face. If you ever read her childhood background you'd know her mother was an abusive monster to her, at times with her as a little girl lying on the ground with her mother's foot on her belly telling her how worthless she was. Yet Sinead's deep pain from not being able to stop loving her monster mother. It's heartbreaking. Can't imagine what she went and goes through.
Her voice is so beautiful and haunting at the same time. She brings out so much emotion that it feels like her voice reaches in and pulls your heart out.
She’s got one of those instantly recognisable voices and such a pure and gorgeous sound too ...... she has had so many struggles and I hope she’s in a better mental place now xxxx You should listen to Mandinka too ....... stunning track
She has stated that everyone interprets the song into there own way and this one is about her mother who abused her and was a love hate relationship, she desperately wanted a better relationship with her mother and then her mother died in a car accident in 1985, this song in her own way and her own interpretation is about her mother thats why she chose it, she has openly said that she thinks of her mum when she sings this and the tears are real from the emotions of singing about her This is a masterpiece in every way video very clever drawing people in up close for them to feel what shes feeling Incredible remarkable unique so many fantastic words to decribe this and still not enough MASTERPIECE AND ICONIC AND INNOVATIVE Incredible has that same impact it did then and same impact now, even people that never heard it or heard of her to young etc, even new generation are blown away SIMPLY SUPERB REST IN PEACE BEAUTIFUL SINEAD Your with your son now both at peace
This one hits different. The feeling in this song, the emotion and the heartache hit home. She is beautiful and a force of nature. Best version!! Glad you experienced it.
I remember when this song and video first came out and I was watching it on MTV and completely mesmerized by her sheer beauty. She is a beautiful woman and she sings with this passion I mean oh my god this song is amazing.
I'm new to your channel and have liked and subscribed. I've probably listened to this song about 50 times over the years and literally get goose bumps every time!
She had the most haunting and beautiful voice and I always loved that when the record company wanted to “package” her as a pop princess, she shaved her head in response. Her mental health struggles have been heartbreaking to watch over the years.
This song goes right through you; we have all been there. This IS writing. This IS raw emotion brought forth from a truly gifted singer.....what an era of music that we will never see again.
I was driving when this came on the radio. I turned the car around, went to the record store and bought it. I'd never done anything like it before it since. I had just met my now husband, who had the same reaction, and it's still our song. Just the first note makes me smile.
Even a pseudo metal-head like I was back then, I was hit hard by this song. Everyone has heartbreak no matter who you are and this was a perfect expression of it.
Every time I see this video, it makes me want to reach out and give her a tight hug- and I’m not a hugger. I remember reading that when she sang this, she was reminded of her mother who had recently passed and the tears just naturally began during filming. She hadn’t intended to start crying, but it just happened. I’m glad that they didn’t just discard that take and go for another. It wouldn’t have been so powerful and iconic. Sinead has had a lot of mental health troubles and sadness in her life and people were less accepting in those days. It’s such a shame as I’d love to hear more from her.
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling this was favorite of my sisters my road dogs there all gone now DaaaaaaM New Year’s Eve my bestie left too this song is what you make it!!!
She was set for superstardom until she ripped up a picture of the Pope on US tv......she was blacklisted. She is probably owed an apology for what subsequently came to light.
I can tell you in break room at work when this came on tv all talk would stop and everyone was just transfixed watching the screen. So nice to see your reaction seeing this for the first time. Your reactions were priceless :)
Such a great song. And what an amazing and unique voice. The song was a a big hit when it came out. It reached #1 on Billboard's Hot 100. Great reaction!
Love love love this version . I watched your eyes because I knew she would tug you soul. You can hear her heartbreak in her beautiful voice. One of my true favorites. She has the voice of a saddened angel. Thank you for reviewing it and playing it.
When I first saw the video in 1990 when it aired and it was like the whole world just stopped. I recommend listening to her first three albums, so you can see how good her own songs were.
You feel the sorrow and heartache in her beautiful voice...she sings of that hurt that most woman have suffered in our lives...to love someone and have them walk away...they are gone and living their life's...yet a woman's heart cant seem to move on...we try to move on yet the heart will all ways remember and ache...I believe every woman has someone in their past that still haunts their souls with memories...
My god... She is Beauty. I’ve been listening to this song since it came out and it still gets me... What an Angel. So confused and angry... hurt and happy... she didn’t write the song but she OWNS it.
Sinead's version is by far the absolute best simply because of the emotional range involved over a break up with someone. The anger that boils underneath with everyone around you telling you to "get on with your life' and yet you are emotionally stuck in that "remorse" that you simply can't get out of. Because of this, her version isn't attempting to be "romantic" in nature, but more of an "emotional outcry" of lost love and lost time to recover from lost love. And if you have ever had a bad break up, or a break up with someone who you realize too late that you didn't want to break up in the first place, her version has far more impact. Even decades later, I still hear this song and instantly have feelings for 2 different girlfriends over the years.
It's a song or interpretation of and in TRAGEDY because of personal experiences (with the catholic church) and I think that her emotions, shown here, aren't just for the song only but for her soul! Still crying about that... And YOUR emotions "only" show your warm ability to share this!!! Thank you for this. And Best Regards from Good Old Germany... (only between us: The 'Priest' in this video is not a counsellor but he is THE PREDATOR!)
The lady sings a song opening her heart and soul to the world, and it takes its toll on the performer. Her voice is that of an angel with a fully exposed human heart !
He mum had passed shortly beforehand, they had a complicated relationship , you can see her crying during the song. She has one of those elfin faces , any hair or none would suit her !
Her first album The Lion and The Cobra is incredible. Give 'Troy', 'Mandinka', 'Jackie', 'Just Like You Said It Would Be' a listen, astonishing vocals and emotions. She tears her heart out and makes you look.
Girl, you reacted to this the way I did when I first saw it!! Some songs are so powerful that you remember every little detail of the first time you heard it... and Sinead nailed it with this one! Flashback to the 80's with me... I was just casually walking into the living room on my way out to who knows where, Mom was in the kitchen and, as always, MTV playing on the set. I came into the room just as the song started and was frozen to the spot, speechless standing in the middle of the room. As tears filled my eyes, I fell to my knees softly and just sat there, staring at her beautiful face and feeling the power of her beautiful Irish voice and all the emotions laid bare by of song. Sinead is a Goddess with a golden angelic voice. She sings this song with so much emotion and power and sincerity that's it's hard to believe she didn't write it. (Even knowing that Prince wrote it, I still feel this way when I hear Sinead. She simply owns this song.) Mom was also frozen in the spot, standing at the sink, her face damp with tears. It was so very powerful. Sinead's rendition of this gorgeous song strikes one to the core and wakes up all the memories hidden there. I consider this song to be the pinnacle of Sinead's work but she has so much much more. Please continue seeking her work, you will be glad you did. Start with "No Mans Woman", "Thank You For Hearing Me", "This is The Last Day of Our Acquaintance", "Black Boys on Mopeds", and "I'm Stretched on You Grave"... then keep going from there. Sinead is an amazing singer and songwriter, a true force to be reckoned with. And she needs our love. You need to hear her entire body of work... Everyone does. Peace. 💖💖💖
One of the best voices I've ever heard. Absolutely chill-inducing in me to this day. I first heard her in 1987. The Lion and The Cobra. Check that album out for sure. The first song, Jackie: I was gone right away. Incredible performer when she's firing on all cylinders. So cool that people are still appreciating her. ❤️
Sinéad had an amazing voice and way of singing. Her mum died not long before she recorded this video and she said she was thinking of her mother then and every time she sang it.
I read that this song was dedicated to her Mama, with whom she suffered terrible child abuse from. This woman really has been “thru it” I wish her nothing but sweet loving Irish Blessings!
Sinead has a voice like nobody else. To get a really good idea of what her voice can do, listen to "Troy" or "I Want Your". The way she can slide up and down is amazing.
But thats what makes great music. Emotion. Yes a nice beat will get you dancing, but this level of rawness, yeah that should stir feelings and if it doesn't you must be dead.
You know this shit really happened. You can hear that gut-wrenching pain in her voice. Absolutely one of the heartbreaking songs EVER :'(...also she's just as beautiful on the outside as this song. Her face looks like a porcelain dolls
I remember the first time I saw this video on MuchMusic I was crying by the end. Her version captures heartbreak perfectly. I have always loved this song. ❤️🇨🇦
This version went all the way to #1 in the USA in 1990. I was about to graduate from high school. It's one of my top 3 favorite songs ever recorded!!! I listened to the others one time, but I can't listen to them anymore. This version still brings me to tears almost 31 years after it came out.
I teared up the first time i heard this beautiful song and watched this with you and teared up again , its a very powerful emotional song , love your reaction

I went out with a sociopath and he didn't like her voice

I still can’t listen to Chris cover of this..
@@mztweety1374 Tears fall everytime. RIP CC
Absolutely a 100%.
Nothing compares:)
I came home late one night in 90 and turned on MTV, this came on and I remember standing in front of the TV in total AWE. By the end of the song I found myself on my knees just a couple of feet from the TV with tears in my eyes. It was an incredible experience. I wish I could see it again for the first time.
I had a similar experience. Awe is exactly the right word.
Same, late night channel surfing and this was on. It left a very noticed silence when the video ended.
Me too....i was in tears...unforgettable
me too. i was 18, in Dublin, Ireland, hanging out with school friends watching MTV. This came on, and although we all knew Sinead from 'Mandinka' this literally floored us. it was a benchmark moment in my life when I realized how powerful music could be and what a genius Sinead was.
Fuckn a.
This is by far the best version of this song ever recorded. Her vocals in this are practically perfect.
Agreed 100%
And the 1st one to be recorded.
Man, what a beautiful face! Sinead has had more than her fair share of mental health struggles. I wish her the best.

Just on the outside.. ♣W.G.
I heard she found solace in islam and seems to be in a good headspace.

As an Irish person I'm very proud of that performance and happy that it still touches people today.
Beautiful and courageous. People back then weren’t ready for her.
Us hippies in Australia were, she got me into irish traditional music and I lived there for 20 years.
Yes skinhead beautiful face and voice. Way ahead of her time.
Nooo they were not. Everybody cried while they jerked off to the song but they all wanted to be petty and give her shit for shaving her head and not wearing make up. That's the most brave a straight woman can be sometimes I think. Everybody slept on her and disregarded the soul
And now they cant remember her!
And she told the truth about the Catholic Church and they burned her at the stake for it. Come to find out she was right in the end.
Sinéad is my favorite singer and you got that right, she is THE emotional singer.
One of the most raw and honest performances I've ever seen. I like her version better than the original by Prince or any that have followed. I mean they're great but Sinead owns this song.
Prince wrote this for her...
@@bonepicker1 no he didn't, he wrote for his side project The Family and recorded it in 1985, Sinead did it in 1990
@@kicknpost I stand corrected...
.lol better than Prince lol.
When a singer makes Chris Cornell look ordinary - and Chris was a fabulous vocalist - then you know you are onto something special.
Written by Prince who himself I believe said that Sinead owned this song with her version and before this video was filmed unfortunately Sinead's mother had passed away so the raw emotion and the tears that fall are the reason why💔
Absolutely - her channelling all that emotion and the stare out to camera on the 'To You' chills me every time and I can feel the tears starting - such a powerful emotive singer
Prince did, well what Prince does with songs, wrote a beautiful one, and Sinead just knocked it out of the park.
He also tried to beat her up, so there's that.
I guess that's why the only part of the female/male lyrics she didn't change was the line about "Momma" and her plants dying after she went away. 😪

True that! Nothing like an Irish voice!

Sinaed always hardhitting with emotions...love this and Mandinka. 2 songs I can listen to over and over. Great reaction..thankyou❤
To be fair everything that is, was, and ever will be Sinead O'Conner is emotional.
For a little country on the edge of Europe like Ireland, Proud we have so much talent to give to the World
Irish -Strong -Brave - Beautiful intelligent people that have been Persecuted for hundreds of years and still remain deeply Faithful to God and Jesus his Beloved son
Give so much talent 🤣🤣 wouldn’t go that far
Amazing little country! From a Spaniard living in the UK. If I could, I'd live in Ireland.
She bled Prince's words.
You said it all.
Great analogy
ACCURATE!
I remember the first time I seen this video. Wow it blew my mind ...her voice is so beautiful
As a 17 year old lad at the time this video came out it was hard not to fall in love with this woman ,beautiful face ,amazing voice and that tear drop near the end of the video is heartbreaking x
Inside secret...when I was young and heard this for the first time, I locked my little eyes to the tv screen and fell in love. Haha!!!
What shreds my heart is the part where she sings "I know living with your baby was sometimes hard..." the sheer heartbreak and anguish in her face. If you ever read her childhood background you'd know her mother was an abusive monster to her, at times with her as a little girl lying on the ground with her mother's foot on her belly telling her how worthless she was. Yet Sinead's deep pain from not being able to stop loving her monster mother. It's heartbreaking. Can't imagine what she went and goes through.
Thank you for honoring her ❤
She delivers this song with pure despair and heartbreak. Like, the worst kind of heartbreak. Her emotions make the delivery spot on.😭
Tragic life of the fantastic Irish singer Sinead!! Sounds like an angell? Well unfortunately she now is!!😢😢😢❤❤❤
Her voice is so beautiful and haunting at the same time. She brings out so much emotion that it feels like her voice reaches in and pulls your heart out.
❤
Sinead was the only one I’ll ever like doing this song. RIP Sinead. I hope you found peace 😢
She’s got one of those instantly recognisable voices and such a pure and gorgeous sound too ...... she has had so many struggles and I hope she’s in a better mental place now xxxx
You should listen to Mandinka too ....... stunning track
brilliant tume👍👍
She has stated that everyone interprets the song into there own way and this one is about her mother who abused her and was a love hate relationship,
she desperately wanted a better relationship with her mother and then her mother died in a car accident in 1985,
this song in her own way and her own interpretation is about her mother thats why she chose it,
she has openly said that she thinks of her mum when she sings this and the tears are real from the emotions of singing about her
This is a masterpiece in every way video very clever drawing people in up close for them to feel what shes feeling
Incredible remarkable unique so many fantastic words to decribe this and still not enough
MASTERPIECE AND ICONIC AND INNOVATIVE
Incredible has that same impact it did then and same impact now, even people that never heard it or heard of her to young etc, even new generation are blown away
SIMPLY SUPERB
REST IN PEACE BEAUTIFUL SINEAD
Your with your son now both at peace
This one hits different. The feeling in this song, the emotion and the heartache hit home. She is beautiful and a force of nature. Best version!! Glad you experienced it.

This song is absolutely amazing, Sinead O'Connor made this song bleed with her vocals...
When I first saw the video in 1990 when it aired and it was like the whole world just stopped. I recommend listening to her first three albums, so you can see how good her own songs were.
All her albums are amazing.
One of the best songs ever... I love Sinead's Celtic touches to it.
I always get emotional watching this video, and chills like nowhere else. Her face transcribing them feelings... :3 And those eyes...
You feel the sorrow and heartache in her beautiful voice...she sings of that hurt that most woman have suffered in our lives...to love someone and have them walk away...they are gone and living their life's...yet a woman's heart cant seem to move on...we try to move on yet the heart will all ways remember and ache...I believe every woman has someone in their past that still haunts their souls with memories...
My god... She is Beauty.
I’ve been listening to this song since it came out and it still gets me... What an Angel.
So confused and angry... hurt and happy... she didn’t write the song but she OWNS it.
Sinead's version is by far the absolute best simply because of the emotional range involved over a break up with someone. The anger that boils underneath with everyone around you telling you to "get on with your life' and yet you are emotionally stuck in that "remorse" that you simply can't get out of.
Because of this, her version isn't attempting to be "romantic" in nature, but more of an "emotional outcry" of lost love and lost time to recover from lost love. And if you have ever had a bad break up, or a break up with someone who you realize too late that you didn't want to break up in the first place, her version has far more impact. Even decades later, I still hear this song and instantly have feelings for 2 different girlfriends over the years.
It's a song or interpretation of and in TRAGEDY because of personal experiences (with the catholic church) and I think that her emotions, shown here, aren't just for the song only but for her soul! Still crying about that...
And YOUR emotions "only" show your warm ability to share this!!! Thank you for this. And Best Regards from Good Old Germany...
(only between us: The 'Priest' in this video is not a counsellor but he is THE PREDATOR!)
The lady sings a song opening her heart and soul to the world, and it takes its toll on the performer. Her voice is that of an angel with a fully exposed human heart !
He mum had passed shortly beforehand, they had a complicated relationship , you can see her crying during the song. She has one of those elfin faces , any hair or none would suit her !
Hauntingly beautiful...such talent...great reaction 🇨🇦🖖🏻💥
Her first album The Lion and The Cobra is incredible. Give 'Troy', 'Mandinka', 'Jackie', 'Just Like You Said It Would Be' a listen, astonishing vocals and emotions. She tears her heart out and makes you look.
Girl, you reacted to this the way I did when I first saw it!! Some songs are so powerful that you remember every little detail of the first time you heard it... and Sinead nailed it with this one!
Flashback to the 80's with me...
I was just casually walking into the living room on my way out to who knows where, Mom was in the kitchen and, as always, MTV playing on the set. I came into the room just as the song started and was frozen to the spot, speechless standing in the middle of the room. As tears filled my eyes, I fell to my knees softly and just sat there, staring at her beautiful face and feeling the power of her beautiful Irish voice and all the emotions laid bare by of song. Sinead is a Goddess with a golden angelic voice. She sings this song with so much emotion and power and sincerity that's it's hard to believe she didn't write it. (Even knowing that Prince wrote it, I still feel this way when I hear Sinead. She simply owns this song.)
Mom was also frozen in the spot, standing at the sink, her face damp with tears. It was so very powerful. Sinead's rendition of this gorgeous song strikes one to the core and wakes up all the memories hidden there.
I consider this song to be the pinnacle of Sinead's work but she has so much much more. Please continue seeking her work, you will be glad you did. Start with "No Mans Woman", "Thank You For Hearing Me", "This is The Last Day of Our Acquaintance", "Black Boys on Mopeds", and "I'm Stretched on You Grave"... then keep going from there. Sinead is an amazing singer and songwriter, a true force to be reckoned with. And she needs our love.
You need to hear her entire body of work... Everyone does.
Peace. 💖💖💖
90's but goodness, you also made me cry remembering this beautiful soul who was powerful and too pure for this world.
I don't care who else might sing this. No matter how well they do, nothing will ever compare to this!
One of the best voices I've ever heard. Absolutely chill-inducing in me to this day. I first heard her in 1987. The Lion and The Cobra. Check that album out for sure. The first song, Jackie: I was gone right away. Incredible performer when she's firing on all cylinders. So cool that people are still appreciating her. ❤️
I'm right there w you!!! Sinead even teared up towards the end. I love the reaction her voice and words had on you.
The most beautiful, stunning eyes I have ever seen bar none.
Sinéad had an amazing voice and way of singing. Her mum died not long before she recorded this video and she said she was thinking of her mother then and every time she sang it.
Cornell beautifully sang a sad song, Prince sang it emotionally, Sinead brought a desperation and vulnerability that just connects on a deeper level.
I read that this song was dedicated to her Mama, with whom she suffered terrible child abuse from. This woman really has been “thru it” I wish her nothing but sweet loving Irish Blessings!
Her voice is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. Especially live, although this recorded version is so good.
Tears from the heart are warm. I Loved this song for years!
Sinead has a voice like nobody else. To get a really good idea of what her voice can do, listen to "Troy" or "I Want Your". The way she can slide up and down is amazing.
I've always thought it sounds like she's harmonizing with herself as she sings, like she has 3 or 4 different voices simultaneously - incredible,
2 of my favorites too! Sinead is so amazing.
But thats what makes great music. Emotion. Yes a nice beat will get you dancing, but this level of rawness, yeah that should stir feelings and if it doesn't you must be dead.
I was 16 in 1990 and let me tell you, this was the best break up angsty song for my tender little teen heart.
This my favorite video ! She is soooooo real here !
"I Am Stretched On Your Grave" by Sinead O'Connor studio or live is really something; powerful stuff.
The. Love your reaction. It was good to see her again. Thx
You know this shit really happened. You can hear that gut-wrenching pain in her voice. Absolutely one of the heartbreaking songs EVER :'(...also she's just as beautiful on the outside as this song. Her face looks like a porcelain dolls
1990 brings back memories number #1 for a long time.listen to Emporers New Clothes,that was a good song too back then.
I remember the first time I saw this video on MuchMusic I was crying by the end. Her version captures heartbreak perfectly. I have always loved this song. ❤️🇨🇦
A beautiful voice. A heartbreaking performance and the most beautiful eyes to ever look into a camera.
Prince wrote it. Sinead does an INCREDIBLE job on it !! Love it! ♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
This version went all the way to #1 in the USA in 1990. I was about to graduate from high school. It's one of my top 3 favorite songs ever recorded!!! I listened to the others one time, but I can't listen to them anymore. This version still brings me to tears almost 31 years after it came out.
I teared up the first time i heard this beautiful song and watched this with you and teared up again , its a very powerful emotional song , love your reaction
"She's just as beautiful as she sounds." That's a great way of putting it and very accurate.
I have heard this song a million times so why did I cry this time
Thank you Jayy, for your beautiful, emotional reaction, it was awesome, love from Ireland xx
Know that everyone of us listening with you are shedding a tear also!
Some say the so is about giving up smoking,, what kind I'm unsure of, but this is the voice I fell in love with, as a teenager 👍❤️
Don't know the intention of the writer, but Sinéád sang it about her mum who had died years before.
this is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever! thanks for sharing Jayy :)
