Danny Boy - Sinéad O'Connor, 1993

- Sinéad O’Connor performs ‘Danny Boy’ on a special Christmas Eve edition of The Late Late Show.
In his introduction, Gay Byrne explains that singer Sinéad O’Connor had been a guest on the previous week’s programme and gave;
"A stunning performance."
When she heard that an Irish music special was being planned for Christmas Eve, she asked to be included. She chose to sing an unaccompanied version of the traditional ballad ‘Danny Boy’.
This episode of The Late Late Show was broadcast on 24 December 1993. The presenter is Gay Byrne.
‘The Late Late Show’ was intended to be a summer filler, but proved so successful with the public that it became part of the regular schedule. The idea for the programme came from the show’s producer, Tom McGrath, who wanted to present an Irish version of the American talk show ‘The Tonight Show’.
Gay Byrne was to be the show’s presenter and would remain so for the next thirty seven years. Tom McGrath’s original idea was that the show would be informal and have the feel of people dropping in for a chat.
‘The Late Late Show’ became an important forum for the airing and debating of many issues in a changing Irish society.
The first programme of ‘The Late Late Show’ was broadcast at 11.20 pm on 6 July 1962. At the time, it was unusual to have a live talk and entertainment show on so late in the day’s viewing. On that first show, the guests were Count Cyril McCormack, Ken Gray, George Desmond Hodnett and Harry Thuillier.
McGrath would go on to pioneer many other successful variety shows on Irish television.
Pat Kenny replaced Gay Byrne as presenter in 1999 and remained in that position for 10 years. Ryan Tubridy presented the show from 2009 to 2023. The programme is still running today and is presented by Patrick Kielty.
A woman with a voice like no other. Rest in peace.

@@yudhirgautam1645 She now has her arms around her boy...
@@brianokeefe4602AMEN 🌹
Yeah really sorry.
She sounds so fragile that you think her voice will break at any moment but it doesn't. To sing so softly but with such control is just incredible. This is truly the most beautiful rendition of Danny Boy I've ever heard.

@@thomasotoole1653 I like to hear that
She’s a fraud. There’s nothing difficult or even slightly remarkable about her singing on this.
@@thomasotoole1653 It's part of her style.
She is not just singing. She is feeling the song. She is music. Rest In Peace. ❤
Can you tell me what about is song?
@@irenasenecic2070the song dates back to 1910. The most common belief is that the song is a parent message to a son going to war who might not return alive.
You’re so right…
She is the music and always will be in my heart

A beautiful fragile human being
Now... THAT was a PERFECT performance. Haunting, passionate, fragile, delicate, powerful and soulful. She held NOTHING back and made herself a conduit for transcendence. Prayers Sinéad
Needs some autotune FR

Heartbroken to hear the news
Very true, said it many times xx ❤❤
Crying my eyes out listening to this on the day that the High Queen of Ireland left us. May you rest in eternal peace Sinéad.
❤
Yes. 😥💔🙏
A troubled soul
I have wept every time I've heard her sing this. An angel on earth she surely was
Rust zacht 😢😢😢
And she sings it a capella, without a band. She gives me goosebumps and tears of joy. Thank you Madam O’Connors.
I'd only ever heard nothing compares 2 I and she had an amazing voice on that but never heard her again. Just heard this and her singing Molly Malone and wow
Me too live in Seattle
Hearing her sing this now is even more heartbreaking as she's lost her son Shane to suicide recently. I hereby dedicate this to Shane. May he be at peace.
Condoléances. I did not know.
Me too I didn't know but I never look on some one else's Los
God bless hos soul
Devastated when Shane was lost. Think about it a lot and hope Sinead's faith is helping her through. Love her.
Go in peace, Shane.
Grew up in an Irish family and in 70 yrs, I've been to more than a few wakes. The one thing they all had in common was that at some point, 30-40 Irishmen, worse the wear for drink, would gather around the deceased and sing this song with tears running down their faces. Suaimhneas Síoraí, Sinead.
Myself the same irish men are sad .....xx
I am 65 yrs old...never heard this beautiful young lady before...busy getting ready for a ball game....but then this voice! It stopped me....I just stopped and listened... I felt the music! I found myself with tears... her voice,and heart and strength... I will never forget this moment...or her.
Well, I am 63, and she was part of my life the last 24 years ... on which planet have you been all those years? ;-)
Nevermind rude replies. 🇮🇪
Sadly her music is seen as anti-euro now. It's all about how woke you can be now.
Her voice was epic her life a tragedy
Please listen to her first album called The Lion and the Cobra. It will move you.
What a pure voice. Acapella, Live, no auto-tune. Pure talent, RIP Sister
I don't know if anyone could pull that off like she did! But, of course, she shared her soul....every bit of it and what a brave one she was.
@@sharonaumani8827
So true. Hopefully one day humans will grow up and earth will rise up to meet and embrace such souls as her.
@@jmc8076 beautifully put.
Say what you will about the path her life has taken, that is the most hauntingly beautiful version of this I’ve ever heard. No accompaniment, no histrionics, no fireworks... just a truly heart wrenching rendition of one of the saddest songs ever.
Her son just died after leaving a mental health facility or something tragic
well said michael
She is a great artist, great mother, and great human being. She has gone through the ups and downs of life with her head held high. Just refusing to use her body to climb up the ladder of so-called success is admirable.
ua-cam.com/video/_q7307IWwr4/v-deo.html
I will say nothing on the path her life has taken, it’s her life and hers alone
The absolute best rendition of Danny Boy I've ever heard in my 80 years.
Nobody comes close. It's beyond extraordinary. Gives one the shivers.
My Great Grandfather's great grandfather was kidnapped as a child and taken to South Carolina. His name is Daniel. Every time I hear it I think of him. When he grew up he went and got his family before the potato famine got worse. He saved his family. I can never listen to this song without crying.
That’s beautiful
❤❤❤
There Isn't a drop of Irish blood in my veins. But, I've said it a thousand times; the Irish are the bravest and toughest people on the face of the earth! Thank God! at least one day a year on Saint Patty's Day, I AM IRISH. God Bless Irland. Gary from Montana USA
Thank you, very much appreciated but please don't ever say pattys day, we actually really hate that
And it's Ireland 🇮🇪
What a voice. Not many singers today can take the stage with nothing but their voice and a mic.
Magic xxx
c est une rareté effectivement
That was a moment, wow!
You got that right.
Not many singers from any time, can do that.
Bless her heart. She was such a rare talent. May she rest in peace.
ameen
My son Danny left this earthly plane on 17 December 2007 age 25....Rest in Peace son and also to his brother Gareth in 1982 aged 23 months...
To Sinead and her son Rest In Peace 🙏🙏🙏
GOD love you all
Vous devez bien vous marrer en voyant tout ça avec les commentaires....
That was the most memorable television I ever saw. Gay Byrne was so gentle and compassionate in his treatment of her. I really think it was on that night people really understood how fragile and beautiful a soul she was.
I grew up with Gay Byrne and the late late show, he made a few mistakes along the way, but I always loved his relationship with Sinead, he had great compassion for her
Damn the pop culture that didn't protect and cherish this woman. One of the greatest singers ever. Hell. She makes music of breathing.
That was a courageous performance. To sing that with no accompaniment, all alone with those long and sometimes perilously high notes, AND no vibrato to cover up any pitch issues--it doesn't get anymore challenging than that. And what a stunning result. Where has this been all my life?
suppressed by the church
@@bigassdummy46 😂 Nah, the Catholic Church doesn't have any pull with UA-cam. UA-cam resolutely blocks pro-life entities.
But she did use some vibrato. She just doesn’t do it regularly.
You are not Irish I guess.
@@bradhurd6097 I'm Scots-Irish, so I guess that means no.
I just can't believe what I've just heard about Sinead. Why is life so unfair? So talented and so utterly beautiful.
God love her more & HE deserve to have her back🥰‼️
That is the nature of existence. To God will shall return, but we must return perfect, not tarnished
@@user-be9ur4ez6nnone not one of us will return perfect, the perfection takes place when we get there
@1CW362 we can strive for perfection, that is the essence of spiritualty. Purification of the self, fasting, praying, giving charity, repenting and turning to God, the life with have on earth is the only opportunity to perfect the self as much as possible. Then what is the point of life if not that?
@@user-be9ur4ez6nno such thing as perfect that's just an illusion ... it is as it is ... the end
She was so so beautiful, she really was. RIP beautiful girl.
A voice like no other....
Tears tripping me here!
What a woman ,what a voice!
Let's remember how talented and beautiful she was!
God bless ya Sinead!
R.I.P.
❤
I don't care about all the bullshit that has been put upon this incredible woman. Sinead has a voice that could make angels weep. This is amazing!!!
Sinead is gone, so is all her sorrows. I bet she now leads Heaven's angels in song. RIP 😭
yes I agree
@@yorkshirerose2636 Hello how are you doing?
just amazing\
Her voice! ❤
Rest In Peace Sinead.
You had the voice of an Angel.
😢 🕯🕊
🙏💜🌿
Hmm. Ok. I wouldn't know since I've never actually heard an Angel sing.
@@DoStuff1958 You still haven't.
@@tomsmith2013 Well said Tom.
@@tomsmith2013 Your right. :). I STILL haven't.
I think her drawing breath on the microphone adds to it. Her raw, powerful , delicate voice was unique. Great rendition of a heartbreaking classic song. 👍🧡🌱💜
All by herself. No others singing. No instruments. No auto tune. Just a natural voice of beauty. No wonder Prince let her sing one of his songs he wrote..."Nothing Compares To U". RIP Sinead O'Connor.
He didn't. Which was a shame as her version is definitive.
sigh, there it is, the autotune comment
She sang with an uncommon strength but was able to convey fragility and vulnerability as well. We'll really miss this one.😢❤
100% agree 😢❤
What a loss.
“For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!”
Strange how people fail to acknowledge the talent a person possesses until they are gone! That’s the shame.❤️🩹
Exactly!
Such a beautiful person and voice🍀💚 A tremendous loss - May she rest in eternal peace 🙏😢🎶💚🍀
This is a deeply powerful song, and she is trembling, yet she has such poise and grace, she does not let up...Sinead is the voice of courage and strength in the face of fear and doubt. RIP Dear Angel
Such a beautiful rendition, and so haunting. I cried my eyes out after listening to dear Sinea.d. rest in peace you beautiful angel. You are in Heaven now, and SAFE FROM ALL HARM.
I can also hear the trembling in her voice. I don’t think I could have sung this song without crying. So beautiful 😢
Beautiful words.
One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard
😭 She was too good for this world. ❤💔❤️🩹🙇♀️
😢
Her voice sounds like it was isolated off of a recording, and then autotuned to perfection. That’s how good she is. I mean, she is totally exposed and singing acappella… You can hear the breathiness in her voice and her breaths. One of the most underrated voices out there.
Underrated by whom?
@@azadrasheed497 EXACTLY. NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE. STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL. PERFECT REALY. DOWN THE ROAD SHE WAS TORTURED BY MENTAL ILLNESS.HEARTBREAKING. LIFE CAN BE VERY CRUEL. THAT IS JUST A FACT.
@@azadrasheed497 that's what i thought. to many people are walking and talking advertisements. i usually regret reading comments
Brilliant rendition. I wasn't expecting it to be acappella. You can hear every word as well, first time I've paid close attention to the song apart from the chorus.
Such a beautiful, angelic voice... 😢 So sad she had to go through such a hard upbringing and didn't receive the love she needed from her mother but all of the nation could see her worth and loved her very much. She will also never be forgotten.. R.I.P Sinead. 😟 💔
🙏💜🌿
Not just the nation.
Such a great voice, beautiful human being. Thank you for sharing your gift. You will be missed 💔🙏
@@nicolegauthier1824 hi
Incredible... her music, her voice, her heart, her passion, her love for her children, her soul... I miss her already
Voice of an angel, heart of a lion. Rest easy, brave soul!
My Dad used to sing this song to me .. Sinead O;Connor you did it best, RIP you songs will stay with us forever !😢
She and my brother left this world the same day. This hits in the saddest, most beautiful way. Rest easy, sweet strong souls. Thank you for gracing us with your existence.
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤
Life is so precious memories are a gift. Moments of your past will now be your strength in the future. I’m sorry for your loss
I'm sorry for your loss 😔
So sorry for your loss 😢
I'm sorry for your losses on the same sad day. May God bless you.
I have no words to describe how beautiful this is
My Dad was called Danny we played a version of this song at his funeral, I found this tonight, they're both gone now but this song will live on for them in its own way. Tis you tis you...🎶💘
That is the demonstration of absolute vocal perfection. No music to hide anything. Just wow
That was not a vibrato in her voice, that was the power of her emotions.
I've never heard this version, all I can say is WOW.
@Brendy Mest Amazing control under the circumstances.
the last verse ruins it
@@yorkshirerose2636 the last verse is bold, and fearless in the way it speaks to the times. It’s a protest song… she said what she said.
I think she kinda chickened out emotionally which is why she whispered.
@@yorkshirerose2636why?
The world has lost a beautiful person and was not always kind to her .Rest in peace Sinead ,at rest now with your son .
Yes the world lot a beautiful earth angle and now Heaven is shining brights because of the arrival of Sinead, No I can not agree with you when you say that the world always not always kind to her as that goes for most people during their lives, almost all of the people loved Sinead all of the time, they made up their own minds and they knew her very well, she was their dear friend even though they may never have met her
There’s time for us to learn, and to act.
This performance is absolutely beautiful her voice was amazing may she rest in peace sending love and hope always
Her family was not kind to her. She blamed everyone else and shook her fist at God. May God have mercy on her soul.
Can a warbler or a sparrow be anything different than what they are? Most beautiful songstresses I love you.
I'm a 100% disabled Vietnam Combat Veteran (2/502 Infantry, 101st Airborne) I spent 9 years with the US Army and then moved to Australia in 1979 to be an Art Teacher. Along with an Australian Vietnam Veteran Artist we started in 1982 putting together Australian War Art shows in Sydney. We had Veteran's art works, photos and mounted stories by both the Solders and Nurses. Art helped me with my PTSD. I was the "point man" and the team "Sniper". Reading this woman's life history and suffering pains my heart. Such an intelligent woman only wanting peace of mind. To loose her son in such a way. I'm sure she sang from her heart, such a loss.
Rest In peace❤
Just pure and beautiful. Irelands golden child Rest in peace our beloved angel
Not many singers have the guts to sing a’capella like that in front of an audience, that’s one of the hardest songs to sing even with music and backup singers. My hat 🎩 off to you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 well done!!
I agree but she spoils her beautiful voice/ face with controversy
@@yorkshirerose2636 The psychiatric illness came with package.
If you attend a party anywhere in Ireland, ever, that ends in a sing-song, or starts with a sing song, you would hear many Irish men and women sing this song just as Sinead did. It's our heritage to sing this way. Look up Sean-Nós singing.
@@yorkshirerose2636 no, she remained clean. can you not see that?
@@yorkshirerose2636I think that was her standing.
She was not her just to be pretty and pleasant.
She fought for those who didn’t have her voice.
What a lovely voice. Gone but not forgotten RIP. Happy St Pat's weekend.🍀🍀🍀🍀🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Beautiful eyes. Unbelievable voice!!
Do anyone think as me, that this kind of voice and singing, can bring Peace to Earth? I believe so.
Peace to all on this Earth!
Merci, Oui, elle offre Amour et douceur
IN THE END. HER LIFE WAS HELL ON EARTH. NO PEACE FOR HER TRAGICALY.
You can hear the magic of Eire in her voice. Rest in peace beautiful Irish Angel!
a magic indeed!
another soul lost to the Earth, though ascension to Heaven insured.
You can also hear the sadness of so many people. I had the benefit of a Marist education I’ll never forget.
Could watch this over & over for a 100 times. Rest in peace you beautiful soul.
So beautiful! love you Sinead, you are surely missed. 😪💞💕Rest in perfect peace Princess.🕊
The troubles in Ireland were still going on when she did this performance, plus she'd already lost her mother, so there was plenty of emotion for her to draw upon, I'm sure. I'd never seen it before, and I've got goosebumps and a lump in my throat. I don't think anyone else will ever do that song justice again.
Sinead's version is truly beautiful, but I would challenge you to find an Irish person (who can hold a tune), who wouldn't sing this song just like this at a gathering. Irish people grew up hearing people sing this song just like Sinead did. It's part of our culture and heritage to sing in this sean nós style.
Her voice is the instrument.
@@janeoccThe girl has just left us for gods sake. Respect your sentiments, just perhaps not the timing. RIP Sinead you beautiful soul.
You do know how horrifically her mother abused her right?
@@kaylaireland3494that is what I read the other day. It was awful. That is the reason she lashed out at the Pope. Her mother idolized the pope and ….well …I won’t get into that here
The most beautiful and touching I’ve heard in my lifetime, and I’m near 70 years of age…
She also did the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi acapella. She sang it at the service for the 9/11 victims. I was driving to church & I was balling so hard I had to pull off the freeway because I could barely see for the tears in my eyes. It is definately a much needed to hear song.
Me too she is really meaning it but better than that with love
I'm in tears now
We played this version, by Sinead at my dad’s funeral.. so beautiful. ❤
Its a beautiful song my dear
I feel your pain. Allow yourself to get there. Music is the only way we get through the grief of loss. I lost the love of my life. Our shared love of music helps me cope in an unfamiliar world ❤
Wow! Completely a cappella, and flawless! Tender and fragile as butterfly wings, but still decisive and confident! So well done Sinead! Makes me wish I could say an Ave at your gravesite. Thank you for this!
Only Sinead can do this. She sings so poignantly yet so powerfully. The most powerful version I’ve ever heard.
Me too ! & now she has left us 💔🙏
To think she has left us it’s heartbreaking ❤
RIP Sinead 🙏
❤
The most beautiful rendition of Danny Boy ever recorded. Sinead, your beautiful soul and voice will be surely missed. Rest peacefully.
Agreed! I've heard so many different versions of "Danny Boy" in my 44 years and this one truly captures the love, heartbreak, anguish and hope to be reunited in the afterlife. I always knew the words but Sinead's rendition of it makes you feel it. Breathtaking and ethereal.
Name me one singer that could give such a vulnerable accapella performance now, there isn't one. Love her always 😢
I wish I knew my roots better being Irish-AMerican. I know, no sadness for an American, but most of us have no true identity....
Not to take anything away from her.. but Son House dont you mind people grinnin is a good example. On the same level of soul.
R.I.P. Sinéad ❤
One of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard ❤
Such an icon. She inspired me to be myself when I was a kid. I'm Deaf now but feel so incredibly lucky to have heard her powerful and angelic voice. No one can rock a bald head like Sinead. Rest in peace, Queen. ❤
May I know how you became deaf?
All the best to you xx
She had a beautiful face so the short hair really suited her💗😊
❤
I'm so happy u were able to hear such beauty before u lost your hearing, God bless
Such a hauntingly beautiful rendition. RIP Sinéad. You were a shooting star that burned oh so bright, but oh too short❤
The best version of Danny Boy ever. May your spirit live on Sinead!
First time I've heard this. Beautiful.
Singing from her soul.
No drama.
Not suffering anymore. In peaceful sleep Sinead x
Everything this lady sings gives me shivers !Rest in peace Sinead 🕊.you’ll be so greatly missed .Thank you for being you 🙏🏻.
Oh Danny boy, the pipes,
the pipes are calling
From glen to glen,
and down the mountain side
The summer's gone,
and all the flowers are falling
'Tis you, 'tis you
must go and I must bide
But come ye back
when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed
and white with snow
And I'll be there
in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy,
I love you so
And when you come,
and all the flowers are dying
And I am dead,
as dead I may well be
You come and find
a place where I am lying
And kneel and say
an "Ave" there for me
And I will hear,
though soft your tread above me
And all my grave
Will warmer sweeter be
And you will bend
and tell me that you love me
And I will sleep
in peace until you come to me
But if I live
and should you die for Ireland
Let not your dying thoughts
be just of me
But say a prayer to God
for our dearest Island
I know she hear
and help to set her free
Thank you
she's a nationalist then?
I never knew much more than the 1st verse or two so thank you for this.
@@nyrockchicxx i think maybe she made up her own verses.
@@jameshudson169 The bagpipes originally used only for warfare, to call and direct troops.
Still obsessed with this woman. Sinead was one in a million, that's for sure. A talent so precious that so many people, including me, didn't fully appreciate until after she was gone. Why does that happen so often? It's tragic.
WOW and WHOA 😮😢😮😢😮. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. R.I.P. SINEAD.
The voice of an Angel, the heavenly choir will be singing an even more beautiful song now. Rest in peace Sinead 💚 xxx
Only Sinead can rock 'Oh Danny Boy'. All my love to her spirit. RIP
Rip. She was beautiful and her voice was heavenly. New Mexico USA
Extraordinarily beautiful and extraordinarily talented. RIP Sinead.
The way she sways her self back and forth at the end of the song in order to control her voice while she is on the edge of crying is so beautiful
I knew Sinead when we were both at Bolton Street College of Technology, She then had long brown hair, 83-84. Such a sweet human I doubt that I will ever meet again. In 2014 in Adelaide, Australia I was driving my Cab and I met Sinead again as a passenger. Such a sad passing such a loss. God Bless You "Little Girl".
An Irish legend and no one can sing like her
Even Elizabeth Taylor or Angelina Jolie would not look (+sound)this beautiful without hair🌷
She keeps perfect key throughout the song. Your typical choir will drop by at least a half tone during an a capella song that long. Her pitch is the same at the end as at the beginning. Amazing.
So true… adds to the haunting beauty of the rendition
Hi, I'm David by name and I'm sure we can be great friends if you give me a chance. Are you interested in having me as your friend? I live alone and sometimes feel lonely. I would love to have someone to talk to and get to know better.
I apologize for jumping into your comment this way.
Sinead has the most fabulous voice ever. May she rest in peace.
Only someone who has suffered great pain could sing with such feeling.
Incredible. The most beautiful and saddest version I've ever heard.
I remember meeting Sinead in the students common room at Bolton Street College of Technology in early 84......She had long brown hair then and was dressed in black, a Goth before Goths were a thing. She was incredibly petite, barely 5 foot, I wasn't used to such petite Ladies, I'm 5'11" and my own Ma, my only Sister and my Only Daughter are above 6!, but had a huge personality, I remember her calling me "a southsider", lol, what A GAL!. Sinead you were the best of us, a simple fact. God Bless you darling, I will NEVER forget bringing Orla my daughter to that "Fantastic Gig", 9 pm on a Hot, Australian Twilight and seeing and hearing your fantastic voice at Womadelaide. Truly Loved. God Bless Ireland ☘️
To pull that off so incredibly, with just her voice....! Without listening to the lyrics, she causes me to want to weep and sends chills throughout. May you be in peace XXX
You're right Sharon, she just an angel
sleep in peace, songbird. yet another gift ireland has given us all.
Her single soft voice, no instrument, absolutely beautiful
ua-cam.com/video/_q7307IWwr4/v-deo.html
NOT MANY SINGERS CAN MATCH THIS PURE TALENT...
Brings me to tears.
Sinead sings the words of the song directly to Danny Boy with the complete conviction that he loves her and she loves him. We overhear the words she sings to Danny. Therein lies the power of this version. Most versions of this song treat the song as a song that should be performed for an audience. But Sinead, of course, has the perfect voice and the perfect intonation to create the perfect version of this famous song. The audience, who has heard versions of this song all their lives, are clearly aware of the gift they have received.
You are a poet yourself with such words my friend. Bravo from Canada.
🇨🇦❤️🇮🇪🙏🍻
I’d heard Danny Boy many many times and assumed it was a love song. It is a love song-from a father to a son who’s gone to war, which is why it’s a standard in the tenor repertoire. Sinead’s lovely fragile version was unknown to me before now. That slip of a girl is gone just as Danny is gone. ☘️
@@marywenzel3199 It most certainly is a love song and also a love song to Irelands freedom.... last few lines...
@@theresanolan1157 Yes, it’s a love song from a father to son and a man to his country-it was not intended as a romantic song about a girl singing to her boyfriend named Danny.
This is very haunting to hear knowing that she’s passed recently. It kind of brings it all home. Rest in peace Sinead, I admire you greatly!!
Perfection. The voice of an angel.
The Gentleman is fighting the tears!A beautiful performance by a beautiful soul RIP Sinead😢
It's a crime we are all rediscovering her talent now, this song by her is beyond words.
Yes. We must honor her now by carrying on her message. And speak the truth. ✨
💖💚💖💚💖💚💖
We always knew her talent
@@Frankiefirenze always boi🖤
@@setterhound7765 boi?
I've always loved this song, but have never heard it sung so emotionally and beautifully. She was entrancing - you could have heard a pin drop in that room.
She did her absolute best for Ireland and we will remember her forever!
Aye brings a tear to the eye. What a moving rendition. Rest in peace lassie. ❤
To sing this acapella without even one note to start off is unworldly difficult. My Goodness!
Truly a legacy of the sounds of an Irish woman, so steeped in a bloody history of adopted painful history, hauntingly beautiful. I had a friend when I was young a Liverpudlian "scouse" who when he was drunk he would sing like Rod Stewart, Danny Boy and Molly Malone, he used to be a seaman and wore a Pork Pie hat had a boxers nose spread across his face, frequently drank too much and would win fights using the Liverpool kiss, a dangerous head butt, but when he sang he was like a angel, his name was Billy Bell. He once told me the Irish Granmothers would sing them songs to the kids.
Angelic voice. The world was not ready for you. You endured a lot, precious angel. Hope you're reunited with your son and mother now. Rest in Peace, beautiful soul. 😢
Such a beautiful woman with a most beautiful voice
Sinèad showed us that there is incredible strength in vulnerability - one does not cancel out the other❤️
Only childish immature girl-kids use words like “vulnerability” and “incredible strength”
Normal mature adults speak plainly
That's Sinead. Dont know any that can sing like this, with success.
