    The song was published in 1994 and expresses lamentation about the death of two children by the Irish Republican Army in the 1993 Warrington bombings

    Her style of singing in this is called keening, and as far as I know it's just practiced in Ireland (I could be wrong about that). Keening is a haunting sound and comes with the funerals, etc. This is about 2 children that were killed by the IRA in GB. She's referring to "The Troubles" in Ireland, but the truth is....the British and the Irish have been fighting for over 1,000 years (although a peace accord chilled things out a bit), before there was an England, or an Ireland for that matter. They were previously two islands (which they still are), but with different names when their contentious relationship began. In any case, it's a heartbreaking song.

    This song has a sad back story that deals with the troubles in Northern Ireland and the IRA bombing campaign on mainland UK. In 1993 an IRA active Service Unit planted two bombs in a busy shopping street in Warrington a town in England. The bombs killed two children, one, a three year old, instantly and one, a 12 year old, who died 5 days later. 54 people were injured in the explosions. This was a protest song.

      I guess they didn't realize just how legendary this song is. But that was still an insane thing to do. Never seen any new reactor do something like that. I could not continue watching this reaction after. Doing something so disrespectful can make you loose a lot of viewers.

      @@jernejulcar8325 they didnt turn down the music, they paused it. The video you are watching just continued playing.
      If you look at them, they're listening and watching the video on a phone so they probably put on a seperate music video (you can see at the start when she sings its not synced 100%) for YT for our benefit which they obviously cant pause at the same time they paused it.

    I agree with @Scorpion. It's down right disrespectful. We expect you to pause during the song in order to react to it but just muting while you talk. Nope, I'm out.

    Good reaction, though it was a little confusing that the video kept playing when you had paused the audio, so it was very out of sync with the audio.

    I just subscribed to your channel, and I'm looking forward to seeing y'all learn to love rock. I suggest you listen to Heart, Magic Man, for female singers. I suggest Led Zeppelin, Whole Lotta Love. I absolutely think you'll enjoy Living Color, a black rock band, doing Cult of Personality. Also Lenny Kravitz, Are You Gonna Go my Way
