Lyrics:
I'll remember it
And Dublin in a rainstorm
And sitting in the long grass in summer
Keeping warm
I'll remember it
Every restless night
We were so young then
We thought that everything
We could possibly do were the right
Then we moved
Stolen from our very eyes
And I wondered where you went to
Tell me when did the light die
You will rise
You'll return
The phoenix from the flame
You will learn
You will rise
You'll return
Being what you are
There is no other Troy
For you to burn
And I never meant to hurt you
I swear I didn't mean
Those things I said
I never meant to do that to you
Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead
Oh, does she love you
What do you want to do?
Does she need you like I do?
Do you love her?
Is she good for you?
Does she hold you like I do?
Do you want me?
Should I leave?
I know you're always telling me
That you love me
Just sometimes I wonder
If I should believe
Oh, I love you
God, I love you
I'd kill a dragon for you
I'll die
But I will rise
And I will return
The Phoenix from the flame
I have learned
I will rise
And you'll see me return
Being what I am
There is no other Troy
For me to burn
And you should've left the light on
You should've left the light on
Then I wouldn't have tried
And you'd never have known
And I wouldn't have pulled you tighter
No I wouldn't have pulled you close
I wouldn't have screamed
No I can't let you go
And the door wasn't closed
No I wouldn't have pulled you to me
No I wouldn't have kissed your face
You wouldn't have begged me to hold you
If we hadn't been there in the first place
Oh but I know you wanted me to be there oh oh
Every look that you threw told me so
But you should've left the light on
You should've left the light on
And the flames burned away
But you're still spitting fire
Make no difference what you say
You're still a liar
You're still a liar
You're still a liar

![Sinead O’Connor• “Mandinka/Troy” • LIVE 1988 [Reelin' In The Years Archive]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/TsIoxvkChWw/mqdefault.jpg)
I was at the Dominion Theatre in 1988 when this recording was made. The whole night was electric. This wonderful fresh raw talent of rage, love, tenderness, regret, passion. It was all going on. A quite extraordinary performance from a fierce, brave yet vulnerable and tormented young woman. Such incredible bravery to be on that stage and share and bare her soul. Cropped hair, big big Doc Marten boots and a black and white mini skirt. I think polka dots or a ska type square patten. Rebellious, angry... stomping around stage. Spitting. She was so fucking punk, but she wasn't she was uniquely her. Such an extraordinary voice, lyrics of a true poet. To this day....never has a concert made such an impression on me. And this... Mandinka... I'm virtually lost for words. All of us in the theatre that night knew we were witnessing the emergence of an extraordinary talent. She was a warrior, she was a priestess. Complicated, troubled with multiple child hood traumas. Neuro diverse... and a woman who wore her heart on her sleeve and spoke her truth and had strong opinions on many things.... Most of them of valid and with good cause and reason. Of course an artist like this was always going to have a target on her back from those in the Establishment who tremble at the bucking and fucking of the status quo. The press were going to try and break her and hounded her for 35 years. That's what they have always done to strong assertive women artists I've always adored her, her strength and her passion and most importantly bravery. For me, she defined an era. May she now rest in peace.
Such a beautiful comment. Thank you
100 percent, thank you. She was brave enough to take on the once all-powerful Catholic Church and was proved right about how corrupt it was, in particular in relation to child abuse, human rights, racism and women's rights. But she didn't want it destroyed but reborn. She even became a priestess of a not recognized sect of the Catholic Church. RIP dear Sinead.
Well said. Thank you
Thanks for your post. Agreed. A poet. Fierce poet speaking HER truth. Loved her debut album from the start... even if i did not know her backstory that led to her evocative lyrics. Her music always had a raw purity to it. Regret never seeing her live, thx again ~
Great year, great artist. How amazing to have been there …. Fantastic performance. ❤
I'm devastated at her passing. She was an original, completely without pretense. Talented beyond measure and beautiful in ways few humans can attain or imagine. Goodbye, Sinead.
Indeed. Very few people would look beautiful head-shaven. She was a looker back in the day hairless or otherwise, with those strikingly attractive facial features. Her voice and songwriting were just as impressive. The world owed her a great deal whereas her allegations towards the Pope at that time were far more than hogwash.
You're not alone,my heart hurts RIH my friend
Incomparable to some Madonnas, Rihannas, Beyoncés... She is, she was a gem! 😢
I'm reading her memoir and it's helping me feel a little less devastated. Recommend if you've also not yet read it.
I'm heartbroken
If there is a single song that carries more human emotions I've not heard it. Love, hate, loneliness, rage, tenderness, compassion, strength, gentleness, fearfulness, resilience, etc. Forever in your debt Sinead thanks for the music.
I was 17 when she sang this. I loved her then and I love her still. She was powerful yet vulnerable. RIP beautiful soul ❤
Call me crazy but it’s my favourite song ever
Mine too! Check out the pinkpop live version of this song (1998?). Even more powerful!
Your obviously sane!
One of mine too. Since I was little.
Not crazy. I'm still sorry
Ever I love this song
There's a hundred million people over there watching different versions of 'Nothing Compares 2 U", but this right here is where I fell in love, what keeps me in love, & what will make my love live forever.
Sinead like the mist, like the snake-headed woman, like the saint & sinner. Glorious soul with a glorious voice.
Same!! I couldn't have said it better.
@@dogsrbetter I just heard the news. It's devastating to know she's gone, but that beautiful soul has moved on to her next journey. 🌦💖🌦
Agree - I feel nothing compares to you does her a disservice . Her own material so much more powerful , musical and creative
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Same for me!!
So much I love this song
I've always thought this was literally one of the best songs ever written. This performance is remarkable.
La verdad a chara
The absolute best
This song punched me in the heart when I first it as a young woman. It has held my heart through highs and lows for over three decades. I have sung and yowled with her a thousand times with her and still it hits me in the best possible way. My favourite song. Nothing compares...
Nothing compares to Troy
Probably #1 on my list
This was a legendary performance - scarily intense. RIP Sinead, I hope you find peace.
She has definitely found it. But what about us?
Beautiful song ❤
It's brilliant. Pretty much the only song where Sinead is angrily yelling at her mother (and rightly so). It's a wonder that people emotionally survive the torments other humans put them through. I got to see Sinead live twice and will always treasure her music and everything she stood up for.
Devastated at the passing of Sinead. From my darkest days as a teenager, her voice gave me great comfort , her sentiment gave me courage to push back against this crazy world. Thank you for the strength and understanding. I was never alone . Beautiful Sinead ❤❤❤❤
🤲🏽🤍🤲🏽
Beautiful words. I feel the same.
Exactly, exactly! Forever grateful for all she gave us!
So powerful. Many can relate with these feelings.
I feel the same. Heart still aching months later.
Sinead..blackballed for speaking the truth but always adored and loved by her fans. We never left, never abandoned you..alway support you and your incredible talent. What a time in history. I was 15 and headed down an inherited path and you turned me away from that sh*t with your lyrics, passion, spirit and endurance. Listening to this at 48, I can't help but cry. No other album connected with my soul like "Lion and the Cobra".
This entire album is a masterpiece. How many artists could do what she does in this performance? Without any of the strings or production, she blows you away with just her voice and a guitar. You will be forever legend Sinead - thank you for what you gave us.
Sinead will always be ahead of time. She transcends, she doesn't fit in this world because this world is undeserving of her, that's why she'll always be pushed into forgetfulness. The rage, the blunt sincerity of her spirit, there's light in the darkness of times because she exists.
I could hear this song a million times and it always hits me like the first time. I remember watching another video of you singing this live when I was about 15 and it was like the universe opened up for me and I was saved from the darkness around me. Thank you for being so authentic and unafraid to stand in your power. Peace & Love.
so do I
This is the best of all. What a voice, what a soul, what a loss. I grew up with her, and her rage. Thanks Sinéad for saying what many of us feel. You will never be forgotten. ❤️🩹❤️🩹💔💔💔💔
One of the great vocal performances of all times.
One love Sinead
That's 6+ minutes of hard chills through my body. I don't think I've ever heard something so amazing, LIVE.
Gives me the chills too.
This version is better ua-cam.com/video/JeIHZvZTJTg/v-deo.html
@@anamfreeman1 absolutely!!
@@anamfreeman1 I knew it was the pinkpop one before I clicked! Absolutely savage!
One of my favourite songs/
And she was so young. Like 22 or something
My favorite Sinead song of all time. She died today and here i am. Im so glad she shared her voice and music while she was on this planet. Hope she's at peace ❤
Easily her masterpiece.
I don't want to admit that this is my favorite Sinéad song because she has so many phenomenal songs that I melt into. However, this song is so perfectly visceral in every one of its forms. It just does something to my soul every time (like so many of her songs). I just love her so darned much that I feel like I'm being dishonest with my love for all her pieces. Like I am betraying my admiration of her but I know that's a "me" problem. It is true, I love "Troy"!!!
I miss her.. Iove her. Always will
RIP Sinead. One of my favourite live performances of all time. Easily.
It's so hauntingly beautiful and powerful. 💔💔💔
Probably my favourite Sinéad song.
And, this live version is outstanding.
Sinéad R.I.P.
Nothing Compared to You
.
She was fierce yet tender. Her voice was raw and powerful. She was always authentic and that's why I loved her. She suffered in her life and now doesn't have to suffer anymore. Goodbye beautiful spirit. ❤
Raw power. There will be no one like her again. Im so sad that she’s gone.
The best music
This song is medicine, this song is therapy, this song is fighting, this song is healing.
Sinead digs deep in this performance. She wrote this song and wouldn't sing it live again until 2008.
Today's so-called "artist" (who cant even play instruments) are a joke compared to this.
Right? All plastic, choreography and fluu
@@erynkirkwood5046female artists now? Tits and arses everywhere, strippers, pimps, narcissists with ZERO talent - Sinead was a weapon of truth and purity, a role model even in death❤
I saw her sing this live at the PNE Coliseum in Vancouver in 1991. She asked the audience to shut up and be quiet so she could sing it properly.
Did I imagine the hardly suppressed smile when the audience realised what song was coming ? This is one of the most emotional songs I have ever heard.
This was not imagined. Such an amazing performance from an incredible artist
Goodbye Sinead, I hope you’ve found peace. Thank you so much for your music your voice, and for speaking out about the Catholic Church.
I was born on December 6th, 1966 and two days later Sinéad O'Connor. She accompanied my musical youth and with her impressive voice and her short haircut, which was looked at rather incredulously at the time, she caught me. I didn't even pay attention to her date of birth at the time, but something about her always drew me. Now I know it wasn't just their music! R.I.P. Sinead 🌈
And her stunning smile at the end ❤️
❤😢❤ my favorite
Rest peaceful now
Poor tortured soul. She was so ahead of her time. True iconoclast. Saw her in 1990. Was amazing.
She holds nothing back - every ounce of her being is going into her performance, and the result is breathtaking!
The most incredible voice I've ever heard. The depth and soul you deliver hits my core. So intense, violent and gentle. Beautiful eyes! I love your music.
RIP to Sinead O'Connor
Her raw vocals are something else
Mega Song und mega Stimme 😊
Love, nothing but love.
Shinead deserved to be loved and cherished as all children should be. She wasn't and she survived and endured anyway. Blessed with enormous talent and drive she became successful and made a huge impact on the world. She overcame a lot including mental illness and was still looking forward. So sad to lose her now.😢❤
holy shit. This is intense.
RIP Sinéad 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
Forget the unforgettable music. The World owes Sinead the human being a massive apology!!!
And the painful truth is that she'll never get it!!!
When anyone speaks her name they should put some f**kin reverence on it!!
her best song, I always had chills when I listened to it. she was an amazing artist. may you finally rest in peace, Sinead ♥️
This song moves me every time, I want to stomp my feet, scream, shout and cry all at the same time
I was there at this concert, the Lion and the Cobra being one of my most played albums at the time, and one thing I remember so clearly is the moment right after this near cathartic self exorcism when she gently shuffles up to the mic, smiles and says thank you so sweetly. I so pleased this recording of it includes that moment. RIP Angel, you live on with us.
My favourite song will mean even more farewell sinaed
Rest now. We’ll leave the light on.
She's definitely an all time great singer by far
this is the Sinead i remember. we need her now
100 % RAW ENERGY. Nothing left in the locker there ! Fantastic stuff Sinead
Bless you, Sinead.
You are missed already. 😪
Chitarra e voce ...questo è "puro e trascendente talento e...anima"
I've listened to Sinead since the Lion and the Cobra and this is one of the best. Great voice, great control and great conviction. Thanks for this version of it. Chills!
Lion and the Cobra did it for me, too. The world had never heard anything like her. That album with headphones is pure magic!
Absolutely made every hair on my body stand up! I love it when that happens.
The best version I heard ever. Pure and live. Imagine what Autotune would have done to this brutal performance.
Wonderful!❤
There will never be another one like her. She was amazing.
I never thought I would ever feel again what I felt the very first time I heard this song. But here it is brand new all over again. All the power, emotion, control, abandon. I don't understand why every young girl isn't still listening to this.
Thankyou Sinead for all the hard times you got me thru when I was a young woman being battered by a world I didn't understand. You helped me figure out which parts to toughen up & which parts to hide away so they'd always be tender & warm. And here I am today: tough, tender, warm.
Indeed!
Just she. Her voice, her lyrics and her guitar. Sinead you were an incredible gifted and beautiful artist and warrior. This song changed my life completely in my mid-twenties. Thank you for beeing yourself and may your soul rest in god where you directly came from!
Such a powerful display of raw emotion, delivered with incredible vocals! A true artist!
Holy shit the emotional range in this song, in her voice...
How she can go from quiet to loud is just amazing!!!
Shivers down the spine. Thank you, Sinead!
This brings me many, many years back, and the chills are still the same
This is incredible.
I can't believe we'll never hear another live performance by one of music's greatest vocalists. What other artist has conveyed such emotion, with vocalizations ranging from pure sweetness and clarity to growls and roars in a single song? No one.
Troy was the first time I heard Sinead sing and it was, and still is, an intense, visceral experience. I have always loved her.
I thought this was a break-up song until I read Sinead's memoir -- it's about her monstrous mother...I'm devastated to learn about the level of sadistic torture, she endured as a beautiful, precious girl, and she will always have a special place in my heart.😪💔
One of the absolute greatest songs ever. Love her.
I was there! Great concert. And this song is a masterpiece and on a debut album to boot!
What a voice, man. Amazing pipes.
Não tenho palavras para descrever o quão ela foi muito forte e corajosa. Uma artista que foi além do tempo e certa no que fez falou. Agora descansa meu anjo junto com seu filho e na proteção de Deus. Nunca será esquecida através do lindo e incrível legado que nos deixou. Será sempre minha Rainha da Irlanda Sinéad O'Connor é a única e melhor voz de todos os tempos. RASGAR...🙏🕊👩👦🎶
This is how I'll always remember her. I saw her do this live in Washington DC just like this. You could have heard a pin drop. I still get chills like I'm hearing it for the 1st time.
Great performance!
Wow this is fuckin amazing. Ive always liked Sinead's music but Holy Shit I regret never having seen her pour her animal soul out live.God I come back and listen to this every once in awhile and I am still getting chills this is a fucking Amazing performance!
So much guts and emotionally charged, this is art
Guts defined her. She never ignored any challenge
I think the saddest thing of all was the fact that Sinead was way ahead of her time in her thinking and its only now we're realising how absolutely fantastic she was. I loved her and its only now I realise why. Rip 🙏 beautiful beautiful Sinead
Troy is her very best song, and this live performance is amazing!
RIP Sinéad, thank you for your beautiful music and raw emotions. You will be remembered.
So raw so angry so damaged so so moving
A Jaw-dropping performance. No other artist can even touch that performance. She had such raw talent and she always gave the world her authentic self. May you rest in peace, Sinead.
Unbelievable vocal and talent. RIP Sinead
You wonderful human being. thank you for everything. rest in peace and power.
I was lucky enough to be at this concert.....................pure magic! Pure talent.
Envy...
Wow that would of been something. My parents seen her back then and a big thanks to them for turning me on to her.
Wow you're a lucky man. This is next level amazing.
WOW.. That's so amazing.. That must've been an experience. RIP Sinead O' Connor
Hey Andrew. I was there too...dress-circle front right...2nd row I think... was just an amazing night. Such a privilege to have been there. One of my top 10..make that Top five live gig attendances..and I'm 56 and been gigging for a fair while now ;-)
Rest in peace beautiful Sinead😭😭😭
That incredible voice. My favorite one of hers. I pray she is at peace but that anger gave rise to this and it's SO passionate!
My favorite singer with a real soul. Even till today no one can compare in all aspects.
Well said greetings from Ireland
Nothing compares to her
The queen. My favorite performance of any song ever. So many emotions, so much range.
I listened to her since I was about 3 or 4, I'm still listening to her a month away from 40, I will continue to listen to her til the end of my time. The most beautiful talented woman of all time. No one has ever had a voice like her and no one will ever compare to her in all of time. I've always looked up to her and admired her for her strength and beauty. Will never forget you Sinead
Coming to say I Love this song, and rest in peace Sinead. Thank you for what you gave to us all.
Rest in power. What a talented warrior you were. I'm so sorry for what the world put you through.
wow this performance this intensity
spine tingling stuff
rip Sinead we loved you, you won't be forgotten
Love how she can raise her voice very high And instantly low , love the song Troy very Talented , Love all her music .
This song made me the man I am today. The background to my revelatory teenage years.
God bless you Sinead.
I Love that you are at peace.
I hate that you are gone.
The one person I never knew that meant the most to me.💙
Amazing, heartfelt, raw performance of one of my favourite songs, which I've loved since the very first time I heard it. The story shared the the lyrics just draws you in and spits you out. Best played at high volume. Sinead, you will be missed. RIP.
Unbelievable. Song of my youth. Amazing voice, passion and authenticity.
So beautifully intense and raw.
Sinead.. your voice will echo eternity
She was ...I find I can't express my sorrow. Loved her and her music. RIP warrior...
"Nothing compares to you". Rip sweet child 🙏🏻💕🙏🏻
Beautiful and brilliant, this is one of my all time favourite songs, it has an extra edge when she sung it live. ❤
OMFG this............. RIP poor struggling soul, ty for what you gave us all.
