It’s not too late. We’re right on time. She was never trying to save herself…she was trying to wake us up. The world is ready to hear her message now….and we do.

Thanks for posting this. Around 15 years ago I was on a flight from the states to Ireland (my first time) and I had my iPod on shuffle. When we were around an hour from landing, this song came on. It really changed my thoughts as I traveled around that beautiful country. It changed my discussions with people that I met in pubs and at the bed and breakfasts where we stayed. I've probably listened to it at least 50 times since then, and it was the first song that I wanted to listen to when I heard of her passing.
@@B.A.PilgrimEducational and informative to a lot of people who are still to this day totally clueless about Irish history...I don't find it cringe at all.
How? Want bells on everything? It's a serious attempt at something intelligent and interesting. That's the least that can be said, don't you think?@@B.A.Pilgrim
Who knew Sinead could rap! And of course killed it. So freakin talented way ahead of her time. Smart as hell, sings like an angel, and is beautiful. Boy will she be missed. There are hundreds of videos, and each one is better than the last. Ive never seen a musician like her. She sang great solos, and with the best of the best. Everyone who she sang with have commented on her unbelievable talent, and what a great person she was. Wish i were commenting for a different reason. Loved her, and will never forget her. One of the best female vocalists of all time, and her efforts and work to raise awareness of victims of abuse, depression, human trafficking, and so much more will never be forgotten because she made a difference, and she was fierce in fighting for what she believed in. She had a strong voice on and off the stage. Thank you Sinead for many years of your beautiful music, and for being that voice for those who stay silent because of fear. An exceptional woman, artist musician, mother, you name it. I pray you're at peace and reunited with your son whom you longed to be with again. May the angels guide you, watch over you, and love you as much as we all do. You are already missed, but never forgotten. ❤
Father's day in her house got confusing, 7 different men showed up....exceptional mother, I don't think so, her son killed himself....she had one hit, and it was a song Prince gave her....
I'm an American with a US HIstory degree, but I never studied about the problems in Ireland. Silly me-- I always thought it was Northern Ireland where all the wrongs were being done-- In US, schools do not teach much about our own history, let alone the real story about other places and events. Im finally learning....thanks.
And 100 years later the British repeated the famine in Bengal, nowadays West Bengal and Bangladesh. During WW2 when Britain had shortages of food, they took everything they could from their governorate in India. Despite the governernor several times warned Churchill that there had been a very bad harvest and told him that the toll will be enormous. And it was: between 2 and 5 millions people died.
They teach none of this in English schools , hence they believe at least the public that all the troubles are other nations faults .Well now they are quite willingly doing the same to their own citizens .
@@maureennewman905 whilst greater knowledge of Anglo Irish history would be good, the education system is focused on preparing students for their future careers. If you have pick subjects to teach in the time available then maths, IT, sciences etc are of more use than learning about the famine Im afraid.
@@vladnelson1WRONG ! Why can't the smug condescending British stay in their own lane. Like arresting 16 year girls with disabilities for unkind language. How civilized, yes its quite the improvement from starving to death those deemed subhuman & refusing to Anglicize. We're not Anglo Irish we're Celtic Irish our DNA proves it.
Sadly, her awareness did not stretch to class consciousness. May Sinead, her son, and all other victims of psychiatry, avenge our Oppressor-the bourgeoisie and its forces of Order. The peace of the grave is only for the living dead. Our peace is for the living instead.
@stephenpmurphy591 , American? That's an ignorant troll. But, as Irish and half my family who kept us alive sending funds from America (after immigrating to survive), your comment is ?. American =/= English. The English leaders are responsible for genocide of over half our people. I am a Murphy, too, mon chara, but Americans fought the English, too. Much of who fought the English in American were Irish immigrants, days off the boats, had food and finally had the energy to fight. There are more Irish in America than in Ireland is the saying and it's true. We are taken in warmly as soon as we speak there. Unfortunately, many of us Irish have so much hate in our hearts ala PTSD. As Sinead says, FORGIVENESS. I'll add, never forget. ☘️ It's not the Americans. Americans are our blood. 🇮🇪 I am open to why the hate to them?
There was a famine - man made! I recall asking my mother about the Irish potato famine because it made no sense to me that people would starve because of one vegetable failing, I mean who lives on just one vegetable? She told me it was because the English rulers took all the other food. She also explained that Irish jokes were a put down of the Irish by the ruling English. Sinead has brought to my attention that it was so much worse than I had imagined. I believe (from the experience of Aboriginal Australians) that generational trauma is real. I hadn't realised how recent this trauma was.
There was more food left Ireland in the decade of the potato blight than ever before. The issue with the potatoes was that Catholics were denied access to land, so families were splitting their smallholdings into smaller and smaller sections to accommodate their expanding families and potatoes were the only life sustaining crop that could grow in plentiful supply in a small patch of land. Once it went, the peasantry had nothing else to grow. The British have them Indian Corn to eat instead which was too tough to be milled and indigestible for Irish stomachs. And they were paid to get on ships to leave rather than given land in their own country and some of the food grown in Ireland that foreign landowners exported.
Thank you God for letting us see and enjoy this woman's appearance who had a soul of pure love . Im sure her and Whitney are doing a lot of singing. Rip beautiful woman and singer.

Universal Mother is one of the most colossally underrated albums of all time. The interconnecrion of the tracks and the threads running through it are at once heartbreaking, infuriating and uplifting. "In this heart lies for you a lark born only for you, my love, my love, my love" and its multilayered vocals followed by the stark a capella of "you were born on the day my mother was buried, my grief, my grief, my grief" is track-spanning poetry so subtle it's often missed, somehow all still thematically rhyming with the musical outlier track "Famine", hitting on ideas of intergenerational..., for lack of a better word, trauma? Though that captures only one aspect of what this album has to offer. Every listen has been a lesson when I've taken time to hear it. For me, the biggest takeaway if i can only choose one (and it's so hard to pin this collection of songs in one space), would be not from the musical tracks at all but from the opening quote from Germaine Greer: "the opposite to patriarchy is not matriarchy, but fraternity". I know I've chopped the quote, some would say thereby missing her point that it would have to be women "to find the trick of cooperation." On the contrary, I think women have already found the trick; it's up to us all now to break the spiral of power. We can no longer claim ignorance.
Hearing this for the first time tonight. OMG. How was she so unappreciated for so long? Her messages were so bang on. How were they so ignored for so long? How were they so heard only after her passing? What a shame, for us and her. I so hope she's in a better place now.
it's a cringe song. any decent person would be too embarrassed to play it all the way through let alone make a comment about how great it is - you're clearly not all there in the mind
I'm still grieving even though it has been more than two months. I realized after her death that I wasn't just a super fan of Sinéad going back to when I heard her for the first time at age 16. I realized that I am her acolyte, and she my spiritual mother, the Universal Mother. She has done as much for me to influence my approach to life, my compassion for others, and my desire to still be here on this crazy earth as anyone else I have actually known. She rests in glory: Sister, Mother, Friend, Lover, Teacher, Prophet. Shuhada Sadaqat. Thank you.
You be shocked it was a planned extermination of indigenous Irish souls. A genocide by the English ruling class, so elegant, so sophisticated, so civilized, godly Lady's & genttlemen. A Victorian apartheid society.
OK, I want to talk about Ireland Specifically I want to talk about the "famine" About the fact that there never really was one There was no "famine" See, Irish people were only allowed to eat potatoes All of the other food, meat, fish, vegetables Were shipped out of the country under armed guard To England while the Irish people starved And then, on the middle of all this They gave us money not to teach our children Irish And so we lost our history And this is what I think is still hurting me See, we're like a child that's been battered Has to drive itself out of its head because it's frightened Still feels all the painful feelings But they lose contact with the memory And this leads to massive self-destruction Alcoholism, drug addiction All desperate attempts at running And in its worst form becomes actual killing And if there ever is gonna be healing There has to be remembering and then grieving So that there then can be forgiving There has to be knowledge and understanding All the lonely people Where do they all come from An American army regulation Says you mustn't kill more than 10% of a nation 'Cause to do so causes permanent "psychological damage" It's not permanent, but they didn't know that Anyway, during the supposed "famine" We lost a lot more than 10% of our nation Through deaths on land or on ships of emigration But what finally broke us was not starvation But its use in the controlling of our education School go on about "Black 47" On and on about "The terrible famine" But what they don't say is in truth There really never was one (Excuse me) All the lonely people (I'm sorry, excuse me) Where do they all come from (that I can tell you in one word ²) All the lonely people Where do they all belong So let's take a look, shall we The highest statistics of child abuse in the EEC And we say we're a Christian country But we've lost contact with our history See, we used to worship God as a mother We're suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder Look at all our old men in the pubs Look at all our young people on drugs We used to worship God as a mother Now look at what we're doing to each other We've even made killers of ourselves The most child-like trusting people in the Universe And this is what's wrong with us Our history books, the parent figures lied to us I see the Irish as a race like a child That got itself bashed in the face And if there ever is gonna be healing There has to be remembering and then grieving So that there then can be forgiving There has to be knowledge and understanding All the lonely people Where do they all come from All the lonely people Where do they all come from
"And if there ever is going to be healing, there has to be remembering and then grieving, so that there then can be forgiving" Don't compare these lyrics to anything you can hear nowadays it is too depressing. Thank you Sinead.
I used this song in classes for translation exercises into German. A terrible topic in a wonderful song. Universal Mother is the only CD I got from her - Reminder on a great romance in the 90s. Thanks Sinead, thanks Antje. (Matthias)
Powerful Warrior, Thank you, bless you. We love you. Thank you for how you fought the good fight. Be in Peace. Send us your energy back. Help us fight like you.
so intelligent she'd rip off rap - a novelty at the time - in the cringiest way possible and then later convert to Islam, having pretended she was a Rasta for a bit - what an embarresing comment you just made, you should feel ashamed for making such a comment. I'll take that as a yes
Yep. Globalists are planning a repeat of this genocidal game plan. but don't worry, they will build back better, just not with us because we will be dead.
Bon sang comme tu es belle, pourquoi t'avoir fait autant souffrir 😢 , j'ai beaucoup d'estime, de respect pour la personne que tu es, une très belle âme, qui nous manque à tous . Je t'aime profondément❤❤❤ ma Sinéad, j'aurais tellement voulu pouvoir te sauver de tes souffrances 😢. Je ne t'oublierai jamais. Ton visage est affiché sur les murs de mon salon, pour me plonger tous les jours dans tes yeux, en écoutant ta voix ❤😢.
In my humble opinion: the best version to this song. I do love the studio versions, the original, the 7 inch version, the 12 inch version, which are more similar to the official video clip version. But this one, managed to mingle the three of them really well, as well as stronger vocals on the chorus, and it was on the threshold of her performing display of 1994, if we all check on videos from those years, from 1994 up to the end of 1996, she cringed and shied down so badly during her performances, as if to hide herself from the audience, which fans, as usual, like the members of a cult, try to justify every single move of their idols by calling it "moved towards a more introspective display of her performance". Dude, there are millions of really introspective performances out there (including the tiny bits of what we were allowed to watch on her Am I Not Your Girl presentations, they are a good example of a performance which was intentionally crafted to be introspective), the 1994 Sinead O'Connor was something different, let's please, not romanticize depression. That was clear lack of the willingness to be there, to be doing that, and perhaps, to be living. In 1997, she seems to have recovered a bit of joy while performing, except for the Lilith Fair concert in 1998 (not talking about her Angel performance with Sarah Mclachlan though). Here, she doesn't showcase all that fire from 1987 - 1992, yet she still finds, whether by will or struggle, room to deliver something heartful onto the audience. I love all the songs performed in this pocket show. Beautiful. That glimpse of sorrow in her eyes are not enough to extinguish the beauty of her soul, but then, she doesn't become more and more inside herself, she becomes more and more lifeless. It's painful to watch, don't know how fans endorse it, whether for pity or maybe they wish to incentive her career, but to me, as clearly a fan, it always hurt me. I'm brazilian, I know what jazzy, bossa nova, introspective performances are. I know what it is like to have fiery artists such as Elis Regina or Maria Bethânia sitting down on the stage, as if to convey the image of someone sitting on the curb of their porches to contemplate life in a very introspective fashion and you see the intimate beauty of it. What Sinead went through to me, seemed as the wish for death.
Oh shit! SINEAD RAPPIN'?! But i really shouldn't be surprised; it's the one and only: SINEAD unraveling the TRUTH on stage. The Lord made her SO stunningly beautiful, because there would be such scars of her life to hide. ...And He gave her those huge eyes so that we could dive into those unending journeys if we dared. Those eyes deep, yet like a child inviting us to hear her secrets. I now have to get to work on a song in memory of my beloved sister in pain and fellow artist. But i was the one who picked up my guitar ,and turned my back on fame. I'm having an awful time processing her passing.
It still happens, it just gets cloaked in fake virtue and lies now. The same western imperialists wind up with all the resources …while history and culture gets erased and rewritten.. it’s just soft power colonialism
This song when I first heard it woke me up to the realization I had only been listening to one sided history all of my life, all the stuff that gets taught in school. I started reading and learning history from the side of the colonized and not just the empirical history. I’m all that mess I find wherever the two sides align is where the truth is in historic storytelling. I’m not interested in legends and over-exaggerated importance of the people that are worshipped as heroes. I’m interested in understanding what really happened
Thank you so much for having this version available!! I found this on TikTok! I’m half Irish and I’m sad that the world turned their back on this wonderful artist. I want to learn this song best I can ❤
I also am here from the TikTok that I saw! I wanted to share the performance with some people I know who love Sinead and am very happy that the full piece was uploaded to RUclips 😊💖
Powerful. This goes beyond Ireland's famine. I can relate to it as a slovenian. They did the same thing to our nation. Our "britain" was Yugoslavia (or Serbia). And before that Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, the Soviet Union,...

First time hearing this song. Never heard this part of the famine story before. Definitely want to learn more.
You be shocked it was a planned extermination of indigenous Irish souls.
A genocide by the English ruling class, so elegant, so sophisticated, so civilized, godly Lady's & genttlemen.
A Victorian apartheid society.
RIP brave woman 🤍 May your soul be free from all that burdened your gentle being 🕊️
And if there ever is gonna be healing
There has to be remembering
And then grieving
So that there then can be forgiving
OK, I want to talk about Ireland
Specifically I want to talk about the "famine"
About the fact that there never really was one
There was no "famine"
See, Irish people were only allowed to eat potatoes
All of the other food, meat, fish, vegetables
Were shipped out of the country under armed guard
To England while the Irish people starved
And then, on the middle of all this
They gave us money not to teach our children Irish
And so we lost our history
And this is what I think is still hurting me
See, we're like a child that's been battered
Has to drive itself out of its head because it's frightened
Still feels all the painful feelings
But they lose contact with the memory
And this leads to massive self-destruction
Alcoholism, drug addiction
All desperate attempts at running
And in its worst form becomes actual killing
And if there ever is gonna be healing
There has to be remembering and then grieving
So that there then can be forgiving
There has to be knowledge and understanding
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from
An American army regulation
Says you mustn't kill more than 10% of a nation
'Cause to do so causes permanent "psychological damage"
It's not permanent, but they didn't know that
Anyway, during the supposed "famine"
We lost a lot more than 10% of our nation
Through deaths on land or on ships of emigration
But what finally broke us was not starvation
But its use in the controlling of our education
School go on about "Black 47"
On and on about "The terrible famine"
But what they don't say is in truth
There really never was one
(Excuse me)
All the lonely people
(I'm sorry, excuse me)
Where do they all come from
(that I can tell you in one word ²)
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong
So let's take a look, shall we
The highest statistics of child abuse in the EEC
And we say we're a Christian country
But we've lost contact with our history
See, we used to worship God as a mother
We're suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder
Look at all our old men in the pubs
Look at all our young people on drugs
We used to worship God as a mother
Now look at what we're doing to each other
We've even made killers of ourselves
The most child-like trusting people in the Universe
And this is what's wrong with us
Our history books, the parent figures lied to us
I see the Irish as a race like a child
That got itself bashed in the face
And if there ever is gonna be healing
There has to be remembering and then grieving
So that there then can be forgiving
There has to be knowledge and understanding
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from
Thankyou😘
Thank you. (From a profoundly hardhearing individual).
Danke Ihnen für die Textübersetzung
😭
Thank you for this.
Wow, ,So Pure and So Raw.
Respect to you 👏
Sinead,true Irish Rebel ❤
totally cringe song though, ripping off rap music in the lamest way possible - embarrassing
How did I never hear this before? Sinead was actually a decent rapper. Not to mention a beautiful woman and singer. May she rest in peace. ❤
Same. How did I never hear/see this before?
May she Rest in Peace 🕯

I don’t know, this isn’t really rap, it’s spoken word and the song is actually really good.
"And if there ever is going to be healing, there has to be remembering and then grieving, so that there then can be forgiving" Don't compare these lyrics to anything you can hear nowadays it is too depressing. Thank you Sinead.
Inna lillahi wa inna illayhi rajiun🤲❤ the passion, the beauty, the talent, the comoassion...RIP Shahuda....
Ameen 🙏🏼
Love this, love the message, love her
I so wish I saw her live, grateful these recordings are shared
I used this song in classes for translation exercises into German. A terrible topic in a wonderful song. Universal Mother is the only CD I got from her - Reminder on a great romance in the 90s. Thanks Sinead, thanks Antje. (Matthias)
This is so cool n hip....and shed never looked more beautiful .
R.I.P. Sinead, your angel voice will stay with us forever ♥️ 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Sinead i love you for speaking truth...you are so courageous. Love you for it.
Respect to you 👏
Truth finds a way , thank you Sinead , never really knew much about you , generation thing , but I always thought your were a beautiful soul ,RIP
That’s an amazing song and as relevant today as ever. Elites trying to oppress
Sinead O'Connor is the best
Respect to you 👏 💯
Nothing short of pure genius!
Respect to you
R.I.P NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU SINEAD, BEAUTIFUL LADY❤ GO IN PEACE WITH YOR SON❤
Powerful Warrior, Thank you, bless you. We love you. Thank you for how you fought the good fight. Be in Peace. Send us your energy back. Help us fight like you.
Sinéad is intelligent and a very talented singer🙏
so intelligent she'd rip off rap - a novelty at the time - in the cringiest way possible and then later convert to Islam, having pretended she was a Rasta for a bit - what an embarresing comment you just made, you should feel ashamed for making such a comment. I'll take that as a yes
@@B.A.PilgrimYour ignorance is comedy gold.
You know nothing of Irish history or Irish musicical forms.
She was truly talented and a stunning woman R.I.P Sinèad

This women was/is a universal treasure ... incredible sense of rythym... and a heart filled with the power of spirit... I love her...🙏🏻💜🙏🏻
Remember this song if you get hungry by the end of this year...
Yep. Globalists are planning a repeat of this genocidal game plan. but don't worry, they will build back better, just not with us because we will be dead.
I cant believe this, shes discribing my childhood trauma,she was a messenger of truth
Sinéad was so brave, the ultimate female rebel! She will be missed.
Wow! I’ve never heard this before. Sinead spitting the truth like always!!!!!
Fly high fabulous one!
She has always been kickass truth . First time seen. Original kickass good rap
An Irish Angel 😢❤RIP 🙏🏻
Such a beautiful girl in every way.
Love from Palestine ❤
love from australia 🇵🇸💗
I never knew how brave she was until I watch this vid. Damn, what a force!
Bon sang comme tu es belle, pourquoi t'avoir fait autant souffrir 😢 , j'ai beaucoup d'estime, de respect pour la personne que tu es, une très belle âme, qui nous manque à tous .
Je t'aime profondément❤❤❤ ma Sinéad, j'aurais tellement voulu pouvoir te sauver de tes souffrances 😢.
Je ne t'oublierai jamais.
Ton visage est affiché sur les murs de mon salon, pour me plonger tous les jours dans tes yeux, en écoutant ta voix ❤😢.
A brave woman who stood up for what she believed in
RIP SWEET SINEAD O' CONNER
Stunning performance and made me look a lot more closely at the history of Ireland and what actually happened
RIP Sinead 😢
One of Kind Sinead O'Connor
In my humble opinion: the best version to this song. I do love the studio versions, the original, the 7 inch version, the 12 inch version, which are more similar to the official video clip version. But this one, managed to mingle the three of them really well, as well as stronger vocals on the chorus, and it was on the threshold of her performing display of 1994, if we all check on videos from those years, from 1994 up to the end of 1996, she cringed and shied down so badly during her performances, as if to hide herself from the audience, which fans, as usual, like the members of a cult, try to justify every single move of their idols by calling it "moved towards a more introspective display of her performance". Dude, there are millions of really introspective performances out there (including the tiny bits of what we were allowed to watch on her Am I Not Your Girl presentations, they are a good example of a performance which was intentionally crafted to be introspective), the 1994 Sinead O'Connor was something different, let's please, not romanticize depression. That was clear lack of the willingness to be there, to be doing that, and perhaps, to be living. In 1997, she seems to have recovered a bit of joy while performing, except for the Lilith Fair concert in 1998 (not talking about her Angel performance with Sarah Mclachlan though). Here, she doesn't showcase all that fire from 1987 - 1992, yet she still finds, whether by will or struggle, room to deliver something heartful onto the audience. I love all the songs performed in this pocket show. Beautiful. That glimpse of sorrow in her eyes are not enough to extinguish the beauty of her soul, but then, she doesn't become more and more inside herself, she becomes more and more lifeless. It's painful to watch, don't know how fans endorse it, whether for pity or maybe they wish to incentive her career, but to me, as clearly a fan, it always hurt me. I'm brazilian, I know what jazzy, bossa nova, introspective performances are. I know what it is like to have fiery artists such as Elis Regina or Maria Bethânia sitting down on the stage, as if to convey the image of someone sitting on the curb of their porches to contemplate life in a very introspective fashion and you see the intimate beauty of it. What Sinead went through to me, seemed as the wish for death.
Respect to you 👏 👏
Why don't we glamorous death
I don’t think we and Sinéad romanticized depression. She was just very outspoken, as usual.
Rare perspective and hope this song reaches a wider audience
I am in England I wish it would be broadcast daily everywhere in England
@@michaelsrowland My grandparents left poverty in County Mayo. Poverty is one of the worst forms of violence.
Oh shit! SINEAD RAPPIN'?! But i really shouldn't be surprised; it's the one and only: SINEAD unraveling the TRUTH on stage.
The Lord made her SO stunningly beautiful, because there would be such scars of her life to hide. ...And He gave her those huge eyes so that we could dive into those unending journeys if we dared. Those eyes deep, yet like a child inviting us to hear her secrets.
I now have to get to work on a song in memory of my beloved sister in pain and fellow artist. But i was the one who picked up my guitar ,and turned my back on fame.
I'm having an awful time processing her passing.
Can't wait...hopefully you share your art here.
WoW! Never scene this side! So awesome! ❤❤
I love the way this woman ♀️ spoke out!😅
Amazing. She was so versatile. I love this ❤
cringe rap isn't versatile, silly Billy - it's just really, really, really bad
Rest easy Sinéad
Wow. That was incredible. I have something else to read about now.
Miles ahead of her time. Rest In Peace Sinead, you deserved a better outcome.
One Love !
I understand the same thing happened in India around the same time due to the British controlling/stealing food grown there for foreign markets.
It still happens, it just gets cloaked in fake virtue and lies now. The same western imperialists wind up with all the resources …while history and culture gets erased and rewritten.. it’s just soft power colonialism
Yep. Churchill was involved and was a brutally racist colonialist kvnt.
Proud to have Irish blood, Rest easy, Irishwoman
This song when I first heard it woke me up to the realization I had only been listening to one sided history all of my life, all the stuff that gets taught in school. I started reading and learning history from the side of the colonized and not just the empirical history. I’m all that mess I find wherever the two sides align is where the truth is in historic storytelling. I’m not interested in legends and over-exaggerated importance of the people that are worshipped as heroes. I’m interested in understanding what really happened
I hear you!
I am English but the English government are the most evil people on this planet
Universal Mother was a pivotal album for O'Connor.
She was really brave to try spoken word ~ very cool musician.
Ahead of her time
Such a massive loss
She was so incredible x
Thank you so much for having this version available!! I found this on TikTok! I’m half Irish and I’m sad that the world turned their back on this wonderful artist. I want to learn this song best I can ❤
I also am here from the TikTok that I saw! I wanted to share the performance with some people I know who love Sinead and am very happy that the full piece was uploaded to RUclips 😊💖
Wow, straight up spitting based truth bombs. No wonder they destroyed her.
They destroyed her when she moved on to the following chapter in Irish history- and started telling the truth about the Church.
Respect to both of you in comments 👏 👏
@@AaronOdalaigh Glad you joined us. Never too late to discover truth my friend.
I love her fqr beeing her,i loved her fir that,RIP FOREWR IN MY HEART,REST IN PEACE 😢
Truth tellling, that's what this is.
Never knew she rapped! Watching all her work. Depth and angious and grief pull out her heart and says it.
it was P O E T R Y
Bless your heart Sinead, you deserved so much more.
Powerful. This goes beyond Ireland's famine. I can relate to it as a slovenian. They did the same thing to our nation. Our "britain" was Yugoslavia (or Serbia). And before that Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, the Soviet Union,...
Rest easy.. ik you are with our Lord❤️
I prefer the shaved head. She is so BEAUTIFUL & REFRESHING 💚💚💚 Clare Kenney is the best Bass player also 💞💞💞💞
Absolutely wonderful and so moving
