"I'll sing, but don't record me!" (former Voice of Ireland Contestant)

  • On Halloween 2021, I went to Union Square (New York City) and asked random people to sing with me. That's when I met Nollaig O'connor! Though Nollaig loves to sing, she has been held back my shyness. That didn't stop her from being a contestant on "The Voice of Ireland" (a singing competition TV show in) in 2011. That also didn't stop her from singing with me on this day. In this video, play a song we both love, "Zombie" by the Cranberries. It clearly makes her happier, to have this random chance to sing one of her favorite songs in public. It did the same for me!
    As a musician, I'm all about creating musical experiences that have people feeling happy and free, and that's why the "Sing With Me" series exists. Since 2018, I have asked thousands of random people to sing with me on camera. A lot of people have said no, some have said no initially but changed their minds to yes, and some have said yes right away. I ask these people to sing with one purpose: to create a way for them to experience a sense of happiness and freedom they did not feel before. And much of the time, this actually works (and that makes ME happy).

    Lyrics:
    Another head hangs lowly
    Child is slowly taken
    And the violence, caused such silence
    Who are we mistaken?
    But you see, it's not me
    It's not my family
    In your head, in your head, they are fighting
    With their tanks, and their bombs
    And their bombs, and their guns
    In your head, in your head they are crying
    In your head, in your head
    Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
    What's in your head, in your head
    Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie, oh
    Do, do, do, do
    Do, do, do, do
    Do, do, do, do
    Do, do, do, do
    Another mother's breaking
    Heart is taking over
    When the violence causes silence
    We must be mistaken
    It's the same old theme
    Since nineteen-sixteen
    In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
    With their tanks, and their bombs
    And their bombs, and their guns
    In your head, in your head, they are dying
    In your head, in your head
    Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
    What's in your head, in your head
    Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, ay, oh, ya ya

      I don't think it was just that, she definitely was living in the moment. But I also think she didn't want to give him her personal contact information, in case for example he finds out who she is (he did) and spread it for other people to harass her etc. Even when she's talking about where she's from she begins getting hesitant. I don't blame her at all.

      As if this is not pre-arranged/staged. It would be too much of a coincidence, having a pedal board handy with exactly that effect catered to the songs chorus?

      AGREED Empowering young talent is so important to the self esteem developing young artists need to take that next leap.

      I understand you. More than you will ever know and i sympathize with you.
      Last year i was a semi functional person driving big rigs.
      As i type this, I'm afraid to leave my car. More than that, I'm homeless and afraid to leave it. Long story short, I'm no longer a functioning member of society.
      I could write more, but i get it.
      The hard part is, that well meaning people don't. But they try.
      I explain it like this; I can sympathize with a pregnant woman, but i will never know what it is to be pregnant.
      They understand for awhile, that they don't understand.
      Then they unintentionally say things that hurt.
      I'm old and you probably are young. So please try your best to live a fun life on your good days, while embracing and excepting the days that immobilize you.
      I on the other hand pray for peace if you know what I mean. Peace of mind is better than a living H***.
      And i do take my meds. Without it, i would always be on the edge.

      @@TransoceanicOutreach The song is about The Troubles. It was a time of high tension between the Irish and the British where the IRA and the British army/police fought eachother heavily. It's a complicated history as to why but the basics are that the British treated the Irish as second class citizens in Northern Ireland and the IRA wanted to unite all of Ireland again under one flag. Both the British and the IRA committed atrocities in the names of their causes with the IRA bombing a lot of buildings and the British using brutish police to try and quell the IRA. The song is directed towards the IRA I believe, trying to say that the war for Independence is over. There is no war and yet there is still violence. "Their still fighting, in your head, Zombie." She was trying to say that the conflict was created over figments of people's imagination, anger over something that should have been left well in the past as there was little to no conflict between the times of the troubles and the Irish revolution. That's not to say the British weren't horrible to the Irish, she just is saying that it never had to go that far.

      @@LeeDeeThe1 I think you're right. She seems to have an introverted and shy personality and the show forced her out of her comfort zone. I still think it might have been a good learning experience, since it helped her realize the show business probably wasn't for her. Being a singer is more than simply having a good voice and even in this performance you can see she's a bit uncomfortable being the center of attention. Nevertheless, I don't think the show made her feel she wasn't good enough, simply that singing in front of millions of people maybe wasn't for her.

      I'm a pianist and some people said to me the same thing and don't want me to stop. But there is a difference between doing it for ourself and for others... Some people just don't feel the need to do stuff in public. We doing it for us, for passion and that's it. Don't force someone to do something he/she don't want to... She sang at the Voice, but it's more for people who want to be singer and live of it. That's why she prefer to keep her singing for herself and that's fine.
      I don't really know why when someone have a talent, people want them to share it with everyone. Some people play video games alone, others not, same for singing or any instruments, some people build houses on stream, others not...

Much of it is building an awareness of chords, typical progressions, learning your scales, etc. I think if you dig in with serious intent, and devote a lot of time to learn, you finally get there. But you have to be serious about it. To start, just learn a single tune. Then another, and another. And so on. Eventually, you build up a repertoire. And with that, you begin to learn how to interpolate, extend, ad lib and so forth. The best part about this guy is that it comes along with a charismatic personality and humility.

    God bless her.. I hope one day that anxiety leaves her body, and allows her to throw her head back in wild abandon, and howl like a wolf at the moon! She’s incredible.. and our Reggie is the kindest most compassionate man .. who brings out the best in us all.. ♥️🎶

    This song still makes me cry when I hear it. Our local family’s from the Catholic Church used to host children from Ireland from both sides back during the troubles in an attempt to create friendships between these kids.
    Thank you for singing it so beautifully.

    She was so good. I can relate to having a passion stifled by shyness. It’s nice to think of how this must have filled her heart. Especially doing that song omg 💔😢 Gotta look up her other stuff now.

    She was great. Once she got comfortable, she was a joy to watch and I could have kept watching her perform. You never know how much talent people have walking around.

    Aww that really hit hard to hear someone with such a great voice that is so defensive about their beautiful talent because of how shy they get. I hope she keeps singing forever. At least her friends know how amazing she is, see how excited they are for her? lovely.

    Awwww she’s precious! Crippling shyness has got to be tough. Especially when you’ve got such a gorgeous voice and probably everyone in the world trying to push her to use it. Thank you for sharing a bit of you with us Nollaig ❤
