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.
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 💚💚
@@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.
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.......
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
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.
@@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.
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 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 💔
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..........
fortunately not! And she would agree with me! World is better than you imagine, and tons of angel voices are vibrating every second of life , thanx to mothernature!
have you ever heard any Bulgarian singers, or Georgian, or Indian, ....? Singing is the most easy way to make music. And it's the most shared gift in the world.
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 🙏
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
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...ruclips.net/video/3dyUsXgL7ow/видео.html
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.
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.
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 .......
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 💙
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.
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
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.
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.
He Moved Through The Fair" My own love said to me "My mother won't mind. And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind". He went away from me and this he did say "It will not be long, Love, till our wedding day" He went away from me And he moved through the fair And slowly I watched him Move here and move there He went his way homeward with one star awake As this swan in the evening moves over the lake I dreamed last night that my own love came in He came in so sweetly his feet made no din He came close beside me And this he did say "It will not be long Love till our wedding day" It will not be long love long love long love love

Well said.
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
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
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
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
TRUE.. SHE HAS A HEART OF GOLD
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.
The voice of the Angels. At long last, rest in peace
You know as she’s singing she’s not trying to remember the words; she’s SEEING the story in her mind. Perfect.
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.

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.
One of the most beautiful natural voices of all time.
No matter what else you say about her, she can truly sing with soul and pathos.
The haunting beauty of this remarkable song is highlighted by Sinead's ability to deliver her voice like a treble drone
Never stopped blowing my mind.
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

Truly beautiful and haunting rendition of a legendary song. Sinead is a true Irish legend ❤️❤️❤️
There is really no way to adequately describe Sinead's voice - touching, haunting, unforgettable.
GOD Almighty Bless you:
Sinead O'Connor
this gifted human suffered in this cruel world, im sure she is at perfect peace now❤
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.

This lovely lady is a national treasure and we are so lucky that she lives with us.Thanks a million Sinead.
I first heard this as a child in the early 1960's. No one has surpassed Sinead in my life time.
Please try Loreena Mckennitt

Not many people know that this is a funeral song. But adapted for weddings over the years. Beautifully haunting whichever way you interpret it.

Thanks mademoiselle !!!
Was thinking the same! The voice is relaxing
Beautiful!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

That Is such an amazing song.. She has such a powerful voice. It really grips you.. Thanks for posting it
A VOICE OF AN ANGEL. L♡VE 🧡🎼
Wring tears from a stone so it would
Unbelievable, no one will ever sing this song like Sinead
This Voice Could Greet GOD!!!!!
Whillyem Thrillwell I think it often does, and I say this without hyperbole.
@@berachtdorian6191- yes Sinead is this good. AND so is the amazing June Tabor. Listen !
Anna Lisa Thank you for the suggestion. I looked up June Tabor, and she is a wonderful singer with a lovely voice.

Such a big crowd yet in the end they listened her so quietly you could've heard pin drop. Beautiful moment!
He Moved Through The Fair"
My own love said to me
"My mother won't mind.
And my father won't slight you
for your lack of kind".
He went away from me
and this he did say
"It will not be long, Love,
till our wedding day"
He went away from me
And he moved through the fair
And slowly I watched him
Move here and move there
He went his way homeward
with one star awake
As this swan in the evening
moves over the lake
I dreamed last night
that my own love came in
He came in so sweetly
his feet made no din
He came close beside me
And this he did say
"It will not be long Love
till our wedding day"
It will not be long love
long love
long love
love
Lady of the Lake Think it may be Lack of Kye, rather than kind. Kye is Scot’s/Irish for cattle.
another variant or singular of Kine ?? which almost fits the rhyme.
Musica maravilhosa !
irishxxkelt yes but Sinead sang kind. 🙂
irishxxkelt Think you may be right, it does sound like kine.
