Nobody thought her protest of Catholic Church child sex abuse was cowardice. They reacted as they were told to by authorities that is was blasphemy, because they'd rather worship some weird old Nazi man in an ornate dress than listen to the God they claim to understand. The vast majority are moral cowards when they run in packs.
I don't think the world thought it was cowardice but rather the world (not the world but the media and those reading/viewing the media at the time) just didn't know how to deal with it. I can't imagine the outcry/negativity and hatred if that SNL episode happened in the day of social media without any context. At the end of the day, her voice and music should be her legacy, not any perceived controversial actions. One of the best voices ever.
Yes.. may she rest in eternal peace.. 🙏🙏🙏 because she got little peace here.. and she was right about so much.. ☘️☘️☘️.. her words dug her grave a long time ago.. 😢😢 xx
There's a huge distiction between talent and personality. Sinead O'Connor and Amy Winehouse both had bags of talent and amazing voices, but I wouldn't want to share a house with either of them!
@@JTHBS She has not lost her mind. How shallow of you to say that. She suffers from depression related to PTSD from being severely abused as a child from her mother. It has come to a head for her the past few years after decades of keeping it bottled up. She improved after you wrote this but she has slipped backwards a bit recently after a dear friend of hers passed away. She is now, finally, getting the emotional help she has so greatly needed. None of this means she has "lost her mind" as you said. It makes her human!
The honest, the brave, the fearless, the unapologetic, the stubborn, the broken, the wisdom, the fragile…. The one and only Sinead O Connor. RIP Sinead, may your heart be at peace now 🙏🏽 🇮🇪
Not broken Just cracked.Siinead was a strong but hurt Irish warrior Woman,Thank god he gave her the voice of an Angel aswell so she could release some of that hurt.Its amazes me that the world is only appreciating Sinead now that she's moved to paradise.God definitely took an Angel home.God bless you Sinead o Connor.
As an Englishman who has lived in Ireland for 15 years, I realise the struggle will never truly be over until there is a United Ireland. I hope one day this may happen. I am truly sorry for what my forefathers did to your beautiful country.
It may sound so naive...as a 53 old woman l long lost my right to claim naivety, however as a human being l will never ever be able to conceptualize, justify or intellectualize the atrocities fellow human beings inflict upon each other...from slavery,the Holocaust, Colonialism...they say love conquers all, really??
As an Irishman I truly appreciate your sentiment & while we don't hold any animosity towards English ppl for the atrocities their forefathers committed, at the same time we cannot forgive British government when to this day they still fail to give access to documents in relation to the Dublin monaghan bombing & the role of their military in murder of 120 innocent Catholics in 1970's/80's & how they lied for over 50 years about the massacre of 11 Catholics at ballymurphy with only a pathetic apology by Boris a few weeks ago after an inquest directed that non of the ppl Massacres were combatants, yet British gov & military denied parents of those murdered the truth & had their names desecrated as terrorist taking their pain to the grave.
The brilliance of making a song about England's brutal oppression of Ireland ("your rage is like a fist in my womb"), and the hope for peace and dialogue ("Oh let glorious love be done"), be in the form of a song about a man and a woman. Rest in power to a true artist, radical, and iconoclast whose voice carried the souls of her ancestors with whom she is now reunited.
It turns out you were the hero and not a pariah. Thank you for your bravery, angelic voice, and defending those who suffered in silence. Rest in peace, rebel. ❤
Condolences to her family members...She was a brave soul who made certain statements against the Roman Catholic which turned out to be true. Many preachers in the world did not have the guts to do what she did.
@@Anonymous-sf5qj wrong, she was not totally insane, and she also dealt with her own child abuse from her mother & also losing her mother when Sinead was 18. "She criticised child abuse within the Church but did not have the guts to name the homosexual fifth column within the clergy as the perps." " criticised" what did you expect her to do to stay silent about the abuse, btw it's never been just the abuse of boys, it's child sex abuse it wasn't committed only by homosexuals, girls were molested by the Clergy as well. You talk as though you think rape is sex, it's violence. She believed in religion inculcated into it by family, maybe you don't know that the 3 abrahamic religions all stem from one, it does and one who think they're better than the other two, a myth they created, she believed so she sought peace in the wrong place, religion. She had every right to renounce her religion or to become a priest if she so wanted and could.
@@Anonymous-sf5qjOk, "Anonymous". Show us YOUR guts and name the members of your, "homosexual fifth column of priests". And don't forget to put your real name to it.
I bawled when I first saw this video, which wasn't long ago. The depth of Sinead's wisdom - singing a love song directly to an Englishman, as an Irish woman - hit a rare chord within the heart of this Indigenous woman. Sinead is truly a heroine beyond measure. May her soul rest in the good work she has accomplished.
It’s a metaphor, it’s Ireland speaking to England about all the hurt and wrongdoings of The Crown. She’s an angel and she’s now found peace. We’ve lost a REAL one for sure. Rest easy Sinead ☘️✊☘️
@@Midland_Wolf_71 I can't believe I've only just heard this now! Thanks for the background information of the song. Much appreciated 💗 - Kiwi Sinead fan x
@@haleyrichardson8818 You’re welcome Haley. Yeah, resonates far more when you know the intention of the writing… The world has lost a truly special one and in time those who wronged her will surely realise it. These souls are few and far between and we should trasure them when we recognise them. RIP Angel ☘
I hope people can one day realise the IMPORTANCE of Sinead as an artist. Everyhing she sings has a level of creative genius and she is infact an artist of historical importance in Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 As an Irishman i must say Im very proud of her for never conforming and for always standing up to injustice.
She doesn't seem to have any idea how immense she is and how her life and work have embedded her in our long history, for the good. She doesn't get how much she is loved.
No you’re not alone as I watch every video she has made today. If we could be even a little bit of an activist, humanitarian that she was it might be another world.😢
I cry watching this. I never knew her, but i knew her. Such a blessed pure voice. I was watching tv that night when she tore that picture. I knew my entire life the evil going down. I stood by her actions. And look what has come out about the synagogue of satan? She was correct. Who is left to say sorry to?
When I drink a few I can't help but listen to her beautiful voice and songs... Everytime Everytime....my kids and wife think I'm bananas but the other day I walked in in my son lifting weights with don't cry for me Argentina playing and I knew that the passion for her music has been passed down to the next generation
No one has ever spoken their mind and sung from their soul like Sinead - because she couldn’t be any other way. I’m sad for her difficult journey, but thankful for all she shared.
without trying to be profound, maybe our fragility and openness and honesty is what gives us our power when we speak or sing. Sinead does that totally, wow
Dear Sinead, I am truly sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved son. We should never let even a mere second pass us by again without realizing what is of greatest importance to each of us. One another.
My family are Irish/Scottish who migrated to America. I can hear her voice in the bluegrass and celtic songs I grew up listening to. She had a voice that was pure and true. RIP Sinead.
This is exactly how I remember Sinead. In 1993 I was fortunate enough to be in her class at The Bel Canto School of Music In Dublin. Although she was a huge global artist, in there Sinead was just... Sinead. One of the most beautiful souls you could ever hope to meet on this earth.
Revisiting Sinead with this powerful song. I see Sinead and Dolores O'Riordan hand in hand, running through the tall, warm grasses and flowers of summer in their native homeland Ireland, singing out to the sun.... God bless you women. Rest in Peace.
I love you my hard Englishman Your rage is like a fist in my womb Can't you forgive what you think I've done And love me - I'm your woman And I desire you my hard Englishman And there is no more natural thing So why should I not get loving Don't be cold Englishman [Chorus] How come you've never said you love me In all the time you've known me How come you never say you're sorry And I do [Verse 2] Ah, please talk to me Englishman What good will shutting me out get done Meanwhile crazies are killing our sons Oh listen - Englishman I've honoured you - hard Englishman Now I am calling your heart to my own Oh let glorious love be done Be truthful - Englishman [Chorus] How come you've never said you love me In all the time you've known me How come you never say you're sorry And I do I do
A real Irish artist, like Dolores and many more. This is so heart-wrenching, but so cleverly written about when Ireland was invaded by the British, described in a metaphor as a young couple, the Irish being a young girl who was in a relationship with a British soldier and fell pregnant with him, and he walked away and left her alone heartbroken. ( the official video depicts this, this live version just reflects her pain and heartbreak so much )
I was listening to this on my way to work this morning thinking about how much I would like to cover it. What a strange way this day ended, forever unfortunately for this beautiful soul. RIP Sinead.
This extremely talented woman's demise is something that I will never understand. We are the same age and I guess that I am poorer financially in comparison but I'm sure that I know whose life I would have preferred to have lived. Bless you Sinead.. I can feel your honesty in every word that you sing on every song that you sing. Bless you.
@goingslowlynowThe coroner ruled out both suicide and overdose. But it does seem likely that the suicide of her son will have affected her enormously, and in the end, fatally.
"Those in power write the history, those who suffered wrote the songs and given our history we have an awful lot of songs." Rest in eternal peace dear Sinead. رحمك الله رحمة واسعة.
Since she passed away I've been listening to this song a lot. I think it really captures the pain and complexity of her life. I hope she's finally at peace.
How many of those who denounced her because of SNL are willing to stand tall today by what they believed in then? That will tell you how much the world has changed because of people like Sinéad. Imagine a world where these people didn't speak up! Rest in the spirit of love & in gentle peace. May your beloved son be there to greet you. 🪽🪽💔
Jesus, one forgets her sheer beauty as her songs are overwhelming. She was simply gorgeous. My feelings are numbed because I'm on a shedload of meds but on hearing of her death, grief hit me hard. RIP Sinead and Shane. ❤❤
Beautiful beyond words. Sinead O’Connor is just magnificent. So much respect for her. I hope Ireland holds her as a national treasure. What an essentially important artist in our history. 💜
No artist has ever been able express so much with so little ❤️ Art is able to express what words cannot. But she is not creating art. She IS art. She is heart, pure expression. 🙏
I have listened to this breathtaking song many, many times. It is one of my all-time favourite Sinéad songs and I just can’t get enough of it. I will never tire of hearing her voice. I hope she has now found the peace she longed for. You were so loved, Sinéad x
Often people like Sinead are not understood the depth of her passion continually tormented her . .Sometimes your passion runs so deep you continually struggle .She probably never realized the impact she made on others .I’m sure many times she felt very alone .
She wrote this song, correct? If so to me this may be the most touching and most important of all of her work. How this is not sung and played in every pub in Ireland, and even some in the UK is beyond me... I am mesmerized by how the song was crafted. On the surface it is a simple song about an Irish Woman singing to her Englishman lover or husband. But it is actually an allegory to the UK's relationship with/domination over Ireland over the centuries. Simply breathtaking when combined with the beautiful music and Sinead's amazing voice. "Why have you never told me you love me? Why have you never said you are sorry?" We love you Sinead and Ireland, and we are sorry. Please find the healing you need and deserve.
Exactly! Such a beautifully aching song of a couple, but also an appeal to common ppl to stop letting governments divide and kill us. Could be sung to spread peace to many conflicts worldwide I believe
Sinead was criticized for her passion; her honesty. She, to me, seemed to embody the spirit of Joan, the Maid of Orleans (Jeanne D’Ark). Such a frail bird, she couldnae live long; life was hard for her. Bless her soul. Thank you, little bird. ❤🕊️💔❤️🩹
Maybe do not seek to reduce her. She is always kind. A little louder when her or her children's needs are neglected by others. Survival, protection frustration maybe , obviously understandably . Understanding, not judging. Pls try, for her, others... and yourself xx
I'm half Irish, half Yorkshire. My father was Irish, I share his humour, passion and forgiveness. I've taken time to study irish history. The vast majority of English people know nothing of Irelands past or the way her men, women and children were treated. If they went away and educated themselves instead of relying on only what they are told. . .then they would truly understand 800 years of Irelands history. . .as i do now. I hope my children, if not me live to see Ireland united and free.
@@karentyrrell4165 This song is actually almost 30 years old (first released in 1997). It was more timely back then, since the Irish "Troubles" were still going on at the time. But it's still relevant.
2 of the best songwriters☀️Sinéad and KrisKristofferson...What a grande fellow.🤩..He once said Irelands audiences🍀 were his fav and the best to play for....he stood up for Sinead🍀 O'Connor on stage ... even wrote a song about her and the ill treatment she endured for decades... now they are having the last laugh together as she was right about so many things she fought for, as was he ✅️...both way ahead of their time in standing up for the underprivileged and the wrongs of the world again and again...⭐️ In 1992, Kris Kristofferson comforted Sinéad O'Connor when she was booed off the stage at a Bob Dylan anniversary concert for tearing up popes picture which was aimed to bring awareness to the church and ill❌️ treatment of innocent children. Sinéad O'Connor, just 25 years old at the time, was introduced on stage by American singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson. He later wrote this for her saying... May we all have her courage. May we all tell the truth.🫶 Words to the song are: "I'm singing this song for my sister Sinead Concerning the god awful mess that she made When she told them her truth just as hard as she could Her message profoundly was misunderstood There's humans entrusted with guarding our gold And humans in charge of the saving of souls And humans responded all over the world Condemning that bald headed brave little girl And maybe she's crazy and maybe she ain't But so was Picasso and so were the saints And she's never been partial to shackles or chains She's too old for breaking and too young to tame It's askin' for trouble to stick out your neck In terms of a target a big silhouette But some candles flicker and some candles fade And some burn as true as my sister Sinead And maybe she's crazy and maybe she ain't But so was Picasso and so were the saints And she's never been partial to shackles or chains She's too old for breaking and too young to tame” You were both the best truth advocates we had💯 ...fly high and have fun 🎉playing whereever you are🎵
Your music has been a comfort during the tormenting bouts of insanity and your life was an inspiration which I always strove to imitate during my brief moments of lucidity. My heart is beyond broken! You paid your dues and the whole world owes you! The world lost its fiercest warrior today. More a man than any man, a great brother in time of need, and a mother/father of the church that was most sorely needed. Thank you for tearing down Popes that needed to be, and thank you for not bowing before any king! I love you S.O.!
Such an emotional performance of this song. Even all these years later it gets me. Sinead O’Connor had an uneven career but produced moments of stunning beauty and emotion which stand the test of time.
One of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. It's a crying shame that so few people in the public eye had the minerals to support her while she was still alive.
There are a lot of Englishmen out there that love her she is a great talent and I for one hope she is healing and hope that God helps her find solace after all she has been through. Love You Sinead XXX
Even though I'm a straight woman, the first time I saw Sinead on TV, bald and all, I was blown away by how mind blowingly beautiful she was - those eyes. Then her voice floored me. Seemed like a glitch in the universe had made someone so stunning and talented all at once. I couldn't take my eyes and ears off her.
i just love the Irish, what a proud and friendly people they are, i have been over many times, and even though i am English and my lady is African, we have been made welcome like one of their own...Slainte
I am heartbroken. Sinead died yesterday, July 26, 2023, at such a young age. Sinead saw me through some really tough times. And this song in particular is so powerfully sung from deep within her beautiful heart and soul. God bless you Sinead! Rest in peace.
sie hat zum ersten mal mein herz berührt,als ich mit 25 jahre zur bundeswehr mußte.sogar meine kameraden wußten es.der andere song,der einem niemals aus dem kopf geht,weiß jeder... hier der song ist auch total schön.... ich liebe dich sinead....
What the world thought was cowardice in the 1990's is now looked upon as a great act of bravery. RIP Sinead.
She was ahead of her time and was 100% right.

In all the time you've known me
How come you never say you're sorry
And I do
[Verse 2]
Ah, please talk to me Englishman
What good will shutting me out get done
Meanwhile crazies are killing our sons
Oh listen - Englishman
I've honoured you - hard Englishman
Now I am calling your heart to my own
Oh let glorious love be done
Be truthful - Englishman
[Chorus]
How come you've never said you love me
In all the time you've known me
How come you never say you're sorry
And I do
I do
No one sings like this woman did. She left us way too soon. I will love her forever!!!
A real Irish artist, like Dolores and many more. This is so heart-wrenching, but so cleverly written about when Ireland was invaded by the British, described in a metaphor as a young couple, the Irish being a young girl who was in a relationship with a British soldier and fell pregnant with him, and he walked away and left her alone heartbroken. ( the official video depicts this, this live version just reflects her pain and heartbreak so much )
I was listening to this on my way to work this morning thinking about how much I would like to cover it. What a strange way this day ended, forever unfortunately for this beautiful soul. RIP Sinead.
I think flooding the world with Sinéad O'Conner covers would be an amazing gift.
This extremely talented woman's demise is something that I will never understand. We are the same age and I guess that I am poorer financially in comparison but I'm sure that I know whose life I would have preferred to have lived. Bless you Sinead.. I can feel your honesty in every word that you sing on every song that you sing. Bless you.
Did you know 4 days ago that she was about to go to her beloved son....?
@@unabellapalomablanka No Sir, I did not.
@@1SteveSmith what unfortunate timing
@@unabellapalomablanka She has been quite open about that she intend to end her life, for at least a year.
@goingslowlynowThe coroner ruled out both suicide and overdose. But it does seem likely that the suicide of her son will have affected her enormously, and in the end, fatally.
"Those in power write the history, those who suffered wrote the songs and given our history we have an awful lot of songs."
Rest in eternal peace dear Sinead.
رحمك الله رحمة واسعة.
Ae, me whakangaa te puawai
Sinead ...Mise Eire ...Forever an Irish Rebel ..God Bless Your Beautiful Irish Soul.
Very powerful. Beautiful performance. You can feel she meant what she was singing.
This is the most beautifully sung song I have ever heard. My eyes are filled with tears. She is so talented and a beautiful soul. Thank you sinead. 💕
Beautiful,hermosa,wow,I'm moved Ellen
She's got such a beautiful voice. I love hearing Sinead sing Danny Boy
I'm in the mood for Danny boy song,I try it now,please.
Thank you.
Is there a link,youtube I shall try,A...
@@peterward8630 youtube...just put in sinead O'connor - This is not a rebel song
Rest easy my wild Irish Rebel. I will miss you and your courage.
Rest In Peace Sinead. Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts ❤
Since she passed away I've been listening to this song a lot. I think it really captures the pain and complexity of her life. I hope she's finally at peace.
Ich bin mir da sicher. Die andere Seite ist ruhig und friedlich. Ich durfte kurz rüber schauen...
@@AnyF211I truly hope you are right. Heaven would suit her very well.
How many of those who denounced her because of SNL are willing to stand tall today by what they believed in then? That will tell you how much the world has changed because of people like Sinéad. Imagine a world where these people didn't speak up! Rest in the spirit of love & in gentle peace. May your beloved son be there to greet you. 🪽🪽💔
The chorus on this song is absolutely incredible.
My God, that woman's voice is like an angel.
Jesus, one forgets her sheer beauty as her songs are overwhelming. She was simply gorgeous. My feelings are numbed because I'm on a shedload of meds but on hearing of her death, grief hit me hard. RIP Sinead and Shane. ❤❤
This beautiful woman is my hero. Sinead lives on. Her message is eternal.
Greeting from Egypt to you Sinead and to the ppl of Ireland 🇮🇪 .
It's hard to not get emotional watching this every time I come back. One of the most powerful performances I've ever seen.
Beautiful beyond words. Sinead O’Connor is just magnificent. So much respect for her. I hope Ireland holds her as a national treasure. What an essentially important artist in our history. 💜
Sinead and now Shane.Two unbelievable legends gone in the one year,just not fair
a genuine tragedy that we could not enjoy this beautiful talent for a bit longer
There are some very lucky people who were in that studio to witness that. She was an astonishingly good singer. Pains to say was ….
No artist has ever been able express so much with so little ❤️
Art is able to express what words cannot. But she is not creating art. She IS art. She is heart, pure expression. 🙏
Sure as hell no autotune or lip syncing in her performances. True artist.
I have listened to this breathtaking song many, many times. It is one of my all-time favourite Sinéad songs and I just can’t get enough of it. I will never tire of hearing her voice. I hope she has now found the peace she longed for. You were so loved, Sinéad x
❤️
Often people like Sinead are not understood the depth of her passion continually tormented her . .Sometimes your passion runs so deep you continually struggle .She probably never realized the impact she made on others .I’m sure many times she felt very alone .
Well said. Her empathy and emotional depth made her a great singer, but also made her very vulnerable. The curse of the great artists, I think.
@@StCreed yes I agree .I loved her passion and her music .I think I own every recording she ever made .
She touched my heart her haunting voice will always be with me
Still one of the most beautiful performances I've ever heard. Thanks Sinead.
Listening to this with tears in my eyes after hearing of the passing of Sinead .
Rest in peace
The One and Only Sinead O'Connor...Respect from Tanzania 🇹🇿
Unglaubliche Stimme, außergewöhnliche Ausstrahlung. Ich bin immer nahe an den Tränen. RIP Sinéad.
Ireland’s greatest ever female singer. I put her in the top ten female singers in the world at her peak. Her song “Troy” is devastating
nearly as good as Samantha Mumba
That's a very powerful song, I cried first time I heard it
Love you Sinead R.I.P. sinead
She wrote this song, correct?
If so to me this may be the most touching and most important of all of her work. How this is not sung and played in every pub in Ireland, and even some in the UK is beyond me...
I am mesmerized by how the song was crafted. On the surface it is a simple song about an Irish Woman singing to her Englishman lover or husband. But it is actually an allegory to the UK's relationship with/domination over Ireland over the centuries. Simply breathtaking when combined with the beautiful music and Sinead's amazing voice.
"Why have you never told me you love me?
Why have you never said you are sorry?"
We love you Sinead and Ireland, and we are sorry. Please find the healing you need and deserve.
🥰
Exactly! Such a beautifully aching song of a couple, but also an appeal to common ppl to stop letting governments divide and kill us. Could be sung to spread peace to many conflicts worldwide I believe
Yes, the line "Meanwhile, crazies are killing our sons" is a tell of the song's deeper meaning.
Yes Sinead wrote this powerful song I was there when she sung this, what a honor 🇮🇪
@@paulinegallagher5010 Wow! Lucky you!
This song is 10x the song she gets all the attention for imo.
Beautiful life came to a tragic end.This world deserves an apology to her. Rest in peace Sinead O'Connor!
RIP Sinead. A beautiful soul not afraid to stick to her principles.
or: not afraid to abandon her principles… ?
one of the most beautiful live performances, by one of the most beautiful human beings ever
She invents modern day classic Irish hyms that will survive and be sang long after she has passed
Rest in Peace Sinead O'Connor...Respect from Tanzania 🇹🇿
Sinead was criticized for her passion; her honesty.
She, to me, seemed to embody the spirit of Joan, the Maid of Orleans (Jeanne D’Ark).
Such a frail bird, she couldnae live long; life was hard for her.
Bless her soul. Thank you, little bird. ❤🕊️💔❤️🩹
I like her when she's angry, but I love her when she's kind. Beautiful song!
Maybe do not seek to reduce her. She is always kind. A little louder when her or her children's needs are neglected by others. Survival, protection frustration maybe , obviously understandably .
Understanding, not judging. Pls try, for her, others... and yourself xx
I'm half Irish, half Yorkshire. My father was Irish, I share his humour, passion and forgiveness. I've taken time to study irish history. The vast majority of English people know nothing of Irelands past or the way her men, women and children were treated. If they went away and educated themselves instead of relying on only what they are told. . .then they would truly understand 800 years of Irelands history. . .as i do now.
I hope my children, if not me live to see Ireland united and free.
Dave Molloy I’m half Irish and half Yorkshire also. God bless you and I agree with you 100%
Youll see it dave dont worry mate its coming
iam full English no halves in me , and understand history fully read and observe
can the Irish be trusted? The Brits intercept shipments of arms from Palestine...
43 years old and only just discovered this beautiful song ,,, wow
The song is 15 years old and I still love it, Sinead is brilliant love her
@@karentyrrell4165 This song is actually almost 30 years old (first released in 1997).
It was more timely back then, since the Irish "Troubles" were still going on at the time. But it's still relevant.
2 of the best songwriters☀️Sinéad and KrisKristofferson...What a grande fellow.🤩..He once said Irelands audiences🍀 were his fav and the best to play for....he stood up for Sinead🍀 O'Connor on stage ... even wrote a song about her and the ill treatment she endured for decades... now they are having the last laugh together as she was right about so many things she fought for, as was he ✅️...both way ahead of their time in standing up for the underprivileged and the wrongs of the world again and again...⭐️
In 1992, Kris Kristofferson comforted Sinéad O'Connor when she was booed off the stage at a Bob Dylan anniversary concert for tearing up popes picture which was aimed to bring awareness to the church and ill❌️ treatment of innocent children.
Sinéad O'Connor, just 25 years old at the time, was introduced on stage by American singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson.
He later wrote this for her saying... May we all have her courage. May we all tell the truth.🫶
Words to the song are:
"I'm singing this song for my sister Sinead
Concerning the god awful mess that she made
When she told them her truth just as hard as she could
Her message profoundly was misunderstood
There's humans entrusted with guarding our gold
And humans in charge of the saving of souls
And humans responded all over the world
Condemning that bald headed brave little girl
And maybe she's crazy and maybe she ain't
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she's never been partial to shackles or chains
She's too old for breaking and too young to tame
It's askin' for trouble to stick out your neck
In terms of a target a big silhouette
But some candles flicker and some candles fade
And some burn as true as my sister Sinead
And maybe she's crazy and maybe she ain't
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she's never been partial to shackles or chains
She's too old for breaking and too young to tame”
You were both the best truth advocates we had💯 ...fly high and have fun 🎉playing whereever you are🎵
Thank you so much,Sinead. Be your soul in Peace. Long live and peace to Ireland !
As a very moderate protestant from Tyrone, I think this is a beautiful song , Rest in Peace Sinead 😢
Her vocals are second to none.
Your music has been a comfort during the tormenting bouts of insanity and your life was an inspiration which I always strove to imitate during my brief moments of lucidity.
My heart is beyond broken! You paid your dues and the whole world owes you! The world lost its fiercest warrior today. More a man than any man, a great brother in time of need, and a mother/father of the church that was most sorely needed. Thank you for tearing down Popes that needed to be, and thank you for not bowing before any king!
I love you S.O.!
Such an emotional performance of this song. Even all these years later it gets me. Sinead O’Connor had an uneven career but produced moments of stunning beauty and emotion which stand the test of time.
Uneven career my ***. She's one of only a few musicians who I have all of their albums. She's one of the best of all-time.
Everything she's done is fucking great.
Uneven career ???? Who is this guy ?
I love the clarity of her voice.
Lovely.. but Ballymurphy was different. She did get it right.
One of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. It's a crying shame that so few people in the public eye had the minerals to support her while she was still alive.
A troubled soul..voice of an angel...had a hard life....eternal beautiful soul....iluv her
There are a lot of Englishmen out there that love her she is a great talent and I for one hope she is healing and hope that God helps her find solace after all she has been through. Love You Sinead XXX
Even though I'm a straight woman, the first time I saw Sinead on TV, bald and all, I was blown away by how mind blowingly beautiful she was - those eyes. Then her voice floored me. Seemed like a glitch in the universe had made someone so stunning and talented all at once. I couldn't take my eyes and ears off her.
Ich mag Ihre sehr menschliche Sicht als Deutscher Mann.
totally agree ,just amazing god bless her .
I think everyone felt that way.
i just love the Irish, what a proud and friendly people they are, i have been over many times, and even though i am English and my lady is African, we have been made welcome like one of their own...Slainte
I agree I love the Irish. I am engaged to one.
@@joolsner congratulations,
take a walk around the city centre these days you'll see how friendly we are.
@@evildiesel1709 been loads of times, never had a problem
Pity the bitch never got to die 4 dear old lreland - how romantic etc etc etc
1/13/25 MY LOVE FOR THIS SONG BROUGHT ME HERE TODAY AND I'M GLAD IT DID!!! GREAT SONG FROM SINEAD!!!
This brought tears to my eyes. The way she inhabits every song she sings…
I am heartbroken. Sinead died yesterday, July 26, 2023, at such a young age. Sinead saw me through some really tough times. And this song in particular is so powerfully sung from deep within her beautiful heart and soul. God bless you Sinead! Rest in peace.
The world needs more Sinead......... bless you girl...
Duane Miller h
Sinead needs more Sinead lol
Definitely... X
Nope. We have enough insane people as it is.
The fire of Boudica was in her, she had more courage than anyone you’ll ever know, a true Celtic banféinní
Sinead was a very gifted and yet troubled person who cared for people. Like anyone of us.
One of the most beautiful voices in music history has gone silent.
May Sinead Rest In Peace.
sie hat zum ersten mal mein herz berührt,als ich mit 25 jahre zur bundeswehr mußte.sogar meine kameraden wußten es.der andere song,der einem niemals aus dem kopf geht,weiß jeder... hier der song ist auch total schön.... ich liebe dich sinead....
This girl..lady..woman i love..shes simply wonderfull..no filters..raw energy..passion!♡♡
What a loss!💔
How sad that somebody with an outstanding voice that sang with honesty and intensity has died. Her voice is something so special.

Thank you for making this world a better place with your music and your courage. ❤ I wish I could hug with all my heart
Agree wholeheartedly 💛 🫶🏼 🌸 Blessings ❕
Непонимая слов, хочу сказать что она не будет забыта и останется истинной ирландкой! Кыргызстана
Her incredible voice let the world peacefully stand still for some beautiful moments......
OMG. She was a treasure. This is amazing.
One of the best voices with passion I've ever heard ! Love you, Sinead for what you've given me.
One of a kind. There will never be anyone like her again. Thank you for the emotions you made us feel, I will always carry you in my heart
Well said Lady V 💔
I feel the same love you Sinead R.I.P.
the most amazing rebel song in the long list of Irish rebel song. This changed me.
An amazing performance. How many artists can project strength and vulnerability at the same time. Damn, I love her.
TheSteveinNY awesome comment
TheSteveinNY Damn right.
well said
Me too
TheSteveinNY yes she is very special.
