      Ouço todos os dias as músicas dela. Nos deixou cedo minha Rainha da Irlanda Sinéad O'Connor é a única e melhor voz de todos os tempos. A saudade é imensa mas agora está livre desse mundo cruel e nos braços do filho. Te amarei e ouvirei sempre. Esteja em paz Sinéad. 🙏🕊👩‍👦🎶

    I always liked her music and for being fearless. I never knew her to be in any way political.
    Then a white female friend of mine told me about this song. I had completely missed the song on her iconic album.
    It left me speechless to say the least. I can’t think of any other Caucasian artist that was releasing such powerful & political music at that time. Mad respect for her to this day.

      Not in the mainstream although Kate Bush did some political stuff and a lot of females on the Crass label. I'd say Sinead was the most mainstream of female punk / protest singers. She kinda helped pave the way for a lot of the female grunge bands riot grrlls for sure

    I dig this unplugged and un-string version. This one is going to replace the 90's studio version in my playlist . Sorry 90's version but your your time has come to rest in peace in the music graveyard and this new version takes your place to resurrect this song to a new birth like a new season of early spring to a dying winter.

    I watched a documentary which she made a few weeks ago, being a massive part of my life i was so happy to come across this, sineàd had a massive impact on my very early teens. I was absolutely devastated when the end credits came up with birth and then date which was a few days earlier, i rarely watch tv and dont read newspapers, but i was informed of her death in a random way and if i had not seen that documentary i wouldn't have known of ther passing, which in reality doesnt make a difference to me, its a shame her death reminded the world how revolutionary and unique this artist was, ans shame on those who blacklisted her due to her forward thinking of the political hotbed what was early 80s and 90s, , fu k the government, and fuck all you who use empty disingenuous words of rip

      May you
      Cry out to THE LIVING ALMIGHTY JESUS and find ETERNITY.

    You can hear it in her voice over the years how it's changed. In 1990 she performed it live. Lots of hard living booze and cigarettes. I remember playing this song on the jukebox in the Irish Village in Boston. We used to cover it when we played out. She was around 20 when she wrote it . Her pain is now over. RIP Sinead. You're now with your son forever. 1990 performance: ua-cam.com/video/n14lwdpYkAA/v-deo.html

      @@BeatPoet67 I was talking about her voice in general when she's talking and when she's singing. She hit it hard and lit the candle at both ends. Not saying there's anything wrong with that, just calling it for what it is. Then you've got people that have never experienced any of it that are giving you shit about recognizing the obvious.. People need to take a breather from their mom's basement every once in a while and come outside.
