She stood up and fought for what she believed in, that takes courage and integrity. The world judged her too harshly and she never gave in. She did with her head up, a role model for all. Say what you want, all you haters. Here is a beautiful, pure woman with a golden voice.
The world judged her too harshly when she stood up to the catholic church. Her only problem was that she cared too much. God bless this beautiful woman
she was magical. not of this world. she had the voice of an angel, and exquisite beauty. this song is sung only in the way Sinead could sing it. the audience was so spellbound, you could hear a pin drop. RIP Sinead 💔🙏🏻 you are so loved.
saw her and her band in the national ballroom Dublin in ;83 after two songs, there was a power failure, anyone else , end of gig, she went acoustic and lifted the voice and gave the audience the benefit of her extraordinary lung capacity to deliver what l still consider the best live performance l;ve ever witnessed under extreme pressure
Imelda May tells a wonderful story about Sinead O Connor about when they first met. Unbeknownst to everyone Imelda was having some family issues, but being the workhorse she is, powered through it and kept performing. Even her closet friends and family did not know what was going on with her marriage. So they met back stage at gig and exchanged pleasantries, then Sinead stopped, looked at her and said to her 'everything is going to be ok' and then hugged her. Imelda immediately broke down crying and released a flood of built up emotion. She said there was no way anyone knew but Sinead sensed her pain..... and that, my friends, is how you can sing like she does on this song. Even the Prince cover 'Nothing Compares 2U'. look how she brought a dept to that song that Prince even in his heyday could not match. Sinead O OCnnor, you are a national treasure
Sinead is THE singer for these beautiful songs, the words about one hundred and fifty years old and were put to music in the 1930's 👌 Sinead is the female version of the late, great Luke Kelly, both sing with so much emotion 💚💚
I was married to a beautiful Irish girl from Dub. She gave me the best days of my life. I made a massive mistake of taking thus Girl for granted this song evokes memories that will stay with me forever. People talk about ' the one that got away" My fault I wish this beautiful soul the best that life can give . You will always be in my heart . My beautiful princess 💔
This song gained wide listenership in 1996 when Sinead O'Conner sang it for the soundtrack to the movie "Michael Collins". The movie, based on a part of his life during the early "troubles" including the famous Easter Uprising, between the then fledgling Irish Republic and the vast English Commonwealth that stretched across nearly two thirds of the globe in the early 20th century. The song was sung at the end of the movie during the assassination scene. What was so moving and sad was as you watched Michael driving to his death they would cut away to Kitty his fiancé searching through a shoppe to find a wedding dress. It is truly (in my opinion) one of the most beautiful moments in cinema. Michael was only 31 when he was murdered. But in his short life he gave Ireland and the Irish people a legend. A legend that says that he and a few brave lads put an end to 700yrs of English Tyranny...
I met her at a KInky Gerlinky AIDS benefit she and I were performing at in Leicester Square in the early 90s. I was in drag -Martin Mega Climax. Boy George and Nenah Cherry were on the bill too. She was the most beautiful humble human being. Quiet and quite shy. Then she sang...... It was Cole Porter's ' You Do Something to me'. I don't have words.......
Ivor Jones im sorry for your loss.. beautiful song.. god bless you! I'm from northern Ireland and it makes me proud to be from this little part of the world
@@debraclark1060 she's Muslim now I don't thi k she represent Ireland anymore. The woman needs help. Bless her I hope she gets the help she needs. She's gay and can't accept it She's not comfortable being herself.
Give Luke Kelly a go 😉 She does represent us. Her voice is so purely Irish there's no denying her. Being Muslim and Irish aren't mutually exclusive things.
Most famous singers are not Irish. You only named females, so that cuts down to most famous "female" singers are Irish but even that isn't correct. You can say a lot of famous female singer are Irish. When you talk about most, then you're talking about 99.99% of singers are Irish?
Anon132 might have phrased it poorly, but he's not wrong. There are DOZENS of world famous singers. Being Canadian I'd never actually heard of Sinéad O'Connor until I read a book written by an Irish author. Her voice is absolutely stunning, though.
She had every single person in that audience full undivided attention, without her voice or the music you would not of heard a pin drop, amazing, I watched this twice just now & im still wiping away tears
Often regarded as a traditional Irish folk song it was first published in 1909 and was probably written only a year or so earlier by the poet Colum based around scraps of an earlier song.
My darkest days are upon me and i have turned to my roots for guidance, my Irish roots lead me here and I know I will stand strong in these storm winds
Just simply Beautiful she's totally unaware of anything else around her just the song eyes closed her vocal control is outstanding even when she whispers the way she holds that note 4:07 perfection this is on the beautiful EP Gospel Oak Sinéad is an original artist we won't see the likes of her again 🙏
Simply breath taking performance, she is a power house and deserves better recognition in Ireland for her, in any other country she would be considered a national treasure that she surely is .......
Impressionnant niveau d'émotion. Extrêmement rare. Et la performance technique n'est pas en reste. Une voix limpide qui passe du filet à l'éclat puissant avec une facilité incroyable, toute relative. Et cette beauté physique, son visage magnifique, cette absolue féminité qui cache une fragilité et une sensibilité à fleur de peau. 35 ans plus tard, j'éprouve toujours autant d'amour pour cette femme exceptionnelle.
@@Omnislash2000 I adore both Loreena and Sinead! But in a way they are apples and oranges. Loreena's sweet voice takes you a journey of romance and adventure; Sinead walks with you through her own internal landscape, at times hellish and at times heavenly.
I have been to MANY concerts in my time but the Chieftains was the BEST one I have ever had the pleasure of attending, Sineads' voice is........ indescribably beautiful..........
Best version I've heard. The power from within expressed so well in song and music. Another reason to be so proud of my late Irish ma, rip, and her people deep and rich in history, and never forgotten.
Anne Briggs. She sung this at 19 and stopped singing completely at 27 because she didn't like the sound of her recorded voice. She shares the same vulnerability as Sinead...which is why they move us beyond comprehension I guess...ua-cam.com/video/3dyUsXgL7ow/v-deo.html
Absolutely amazing Sinead. A true woman of Eire. Such emotion, passion & beauty. You have a voice that would put a nightingale to shame. Lots & lots of love 💙
Sinead is such a beautiful lady, especially here in this performance and her voice is amazing, incredible talent despite such a hard childhood up bringing, thank you for sharing this video.
The Mixolydian mode is so evocative here, of the slow motion vision of the betrothed moving away through the crowd, perhaps looking back, and reappearing as a ghost in the night.
I must have molecular/DNA memory (Irish descent, Canadian). Because as soon as the drone starts, my breath stops and I start vibrating. Sinead, you are a gift to the planet. Don't ever doubt it girl. Love you.

True Irish blood 🩸,
These are tunes of history of heritage of truth, she sings them in only a way an Irish siren can. ❤️❤️❤️
Very true and her version of the Foggy Dew is haunting x

Wow, what a treat ❤️
"Under extreme pressure" lol
In '83 Sinead was 15. Did you maybe mean '93, or...?
What year was this performance?
Lies lmao
Her voice is superior to most. It is haunting. I wish her good will and nothing but the best
beautiful woman, gorgeous voice... bless her... amen.
this gifted human suffered in this cruel world, im sure she is at perfect peace now❤
One of the most beautiful natural voices of all time.
Loved & Missed
Never stopped blowing my mind.
You know as she’s singing she’s not trying to remember the words; she’s SEEING the story in her mind. Perfect.
The haunting beauty of this remarkable song is highlighted by Sinead's ability to deliver her voice like a treble drone
No matter what else you say about her, she can truly sing with soul and pathos.

That's a beautiful story. You're right- that level of sensitivity is where the brilliant intensity of her voice comes from.
Couldn't agree more
It takes one to know one. Goodness knows Sinead has suffered far more than her fair share of pain.

Sad day for Ireland losing our beautiful star Sinead 🌟💔🙏 RIP Iconic Soul
Between the beauty of her voice and her striking beauty, I can’t breath. She could have stoped wars and brought evil people to their knees.
absolute beauty. yeah striking kind like can strike you down dead
Gorgeous
shame she joined islam , most backward shit ever
@@gasparaangeles7411 what

@@sandrajohnston85 when she says she hates all dirty white people.
@@Einnor084 is Islam native to Ireland? And I think you will find Muslims aren't that tolerant of each other.
Most famous singers in the world are Irish. Huge respect to you Sinead, Enya, Clannad, Dolores, etc. You brought joy to my life.
Seems like the Irish put the most powerful emotions they have into their music.

There is really no way to adequately describe Sinead's voice - touching, haunting, unforgettable.
She had every single person in that audience full undivided attention, without her voice or the music you would not of heard a pin drop, amazing, I watched this twice just now & im still wiping away tears
Not many people know that this is a funeral song. But adapted for weddings over the years. Beautifully haunting whichever way you interpret it.
Absolutely stunning ❤️
I could listen to to this lady all day she lays my sol to rest
One of the most beautiful Irish songs ever written.
The greatest singer this world has ever known. I'm listening to this in tears.
Sleep well Sinead can't believe your gone .😭🙏
Erin go bragh. Proud to be from Ireland. Still speak Irish. We will be our own people no matter what.
GOD Almighty Bless you:
Sinead O'Connor
Truly incredible. She could move mountains with that voice.

the most perfectly clear voice
This lovely lady is a national treasure and we are so lucky that she lives with us.Thanks a million Sinead.
OMG!!!
What a amazing and beautiful voice!
The most incredible that I've ever heard.
Ireland’s number 1 voice by a mile, pure, no enhancement or digital trickery, slip into the dream.

Please try Loreena Mckennitt

A voice of a angel! 🙏😢

One of my truest heroes. Just let truth be truth.
Unbelievable, no one will ever sing this song like Sinead
My "music heart is melting"...I'm a sucker for "beautiful tunes"...like this one.
the most beautiful Irish song I ever heard and Sinead O Connor - WOW just WOW
La sua voce è il potere della musica e della parola che si uniscono e arrivano nel profondo di chi vuole ascoltare...
Her voice is the angels' voice of the skyes. And She were a beautiful girl 🌹😍
Her voice is simply a gift from the Gods - to all of us.
It doesn't even look like her... so unusual to see so young... she is soo beautiful and her voice shows such purity! ⚘
Awesome version of a great song. Thanks.
The happy little accidents called YT algorithms brought me here (finally a good recommendation). That was absolutely grand!
She was so good! What a haunting voice. Those beautiful eyes!
Sinead is such a beautiful lady, especially here in this performance and her voice is amazing, incredible talent despite such a hard childhood up bringing, thank you for sharing this video.
Seen Sinead 4 times live and she brings me to tears each time.
I know exactly what you mean. Her voice is so pure and clear it's literally heartbreaking.
The Mixolydian mode is so evocative here, of the slow motion vision of the betrothed moving away through the crowd, perhaps looking back, and reappearing as a ghost in the night.

Shes solid

She changed a lot along her life and carreer. But her voice and taste are the same. Beautiful.
The best Irish female singer that ever drew a breath.
Aaaaah! Sinead with hair! There's something you don't see everyday. LOVE this song.
It doesnt get any better - magical singing sinead - perfection. Xx
This reduces me to tears. I'm a 55 year old man.
