    Sinead's tears were real. She didn't expect to cry, but then she thought, "I should let this happen."
    She explained that the tears came after thinking about her mom, who died in a car accident in 1985.
    You can clearly see that she broke after singing:
    All the flowers that you planted, mama
    In the back yard
    All died when you went away

    Sinead's life was so tragic. Lost her mum in 1985 in a car crash, she is thinking of her mum during this song. It was written by Prince, who hand picked Sinead to sing it. She was so mis-inderstood when she was alive, ridiculed in my country because of her religious beliefs. She had a personal battle with Pope John Paul II and she became a num later in her life. The woman was nothing but an angel who taken from us too soon. RIP Sinead

      I lost my husband, when I was 8 Month pregnant ,in a car accident. It’s now 15 years ago and I can only describe the pain as a triangle in a triangular whole , every time I wake up and remember that my husband is dead , the triangle turn around, eventually making the whole round and the turning of the triangle becomes less painful with time. You’re not alone, the pain is real, but with time it gets manageable. I’ve remarried, but I still occasionally I still miss the father of my daughter. You’re not alone.

    @neilsimon467 11 месяцев назад +5

    I didn't realise until I watched a documentary about Sinead that Prince actually wrote this song about his housekeeper, for years she lived with him and did everything for him. All he had to do was get up, get dressed in the clothes she'd already laid out for him and go play guitar and write songs. She literally did everything else. When her father got ill she left and moved away and he was totally lost. He wrote the song and made it sound like a love song about an ended relationship so it would reach more people but it was actually about his housekeeper. The loss of whom was worse than any relationship he'd lost. When he heard Sinead's version of the song he called and told her the song is yours "Thank you for bringing my song to life".
    I highly recommend you explore Sinead's other work as well, she was a great songwriter as well as a singer, the song "Troy" written about her difficult relationship with her mum is stunning.

  • @hemlock399
    @hemlock399 11 месяцев назад +7

    Sinead was a woman of strong convictions, a bit rebellious and something of an activist.
    In 1992, she appeared on Saturday Night Live as an international pop star, thanks to the success of Nothing Compares 2 U. For her closing performance, she decided to do a cover of Bob Marley's War modified to protest child abuse within the Catholic Church. She did not share the very dramatic and controversial grand finale with SNL, and performed it on live TV, shocking millions. Her actions were deemed so outrageous that she was banned from SNL for life, and effectively tanked her career, but she never regretted it. To her, the real outrageous was the child abuse and the complicity of the church.
    Her performance is beautiful, powerful and a tremendous example of moral courage. It's well worth reacting to.
    Fight the REAL Enemy! Bob:Marley's 'War' performed by Sinéad o'Connor!

  • @herrzimm
    @herrzimm 11 месяцев назад +28

    The reason why this is possibly the BEST version of this song is the simple fact that Sinead is singing it with a "sad gaspy voice", which gives the song a whole new meaning as it comes across as if someone is fighting to hold their own emotions in check while singing. In other words, her voice CONVEYS the emotional heartache of the lyrics.
    As far as the video goes.... this "emotional connection to the lyrics" comes across even more when the tear falls from her eye. It was completely unexpected by her and the crew, but it was REAL because she was thinking about her mother who had past away prior to the song coming out. Just that last verse and reference to her mother was all it took for the emotional heartache to take a physical form in the teardrop.

    Thank you for getting around to reacting to, Sinéad O'Connor, Aileen.
    She was a troubled soul, who had battles with mental health. Please react to more of her work, I suggest the following tracks: 'Troy',
    'Jackie',
    'Three Babies',
    'Just Like U Said it Would B',
    'Sacrifice' (Elton John cover),
    'Fire on Babylon' with Jah Wobble's Invaders of The Heart, 'Mandinka'.
    There are many other tracks but these are a good place to start.
    This song is a cover of a song by 'Prince', but her version is far superior to the original.

    In her video for "Take Me To Church" in 2014 Sinead references this song and music video.. interesting to compare the two and how she grew as a person and artist. The two songs are almost a full story.

    Aileen, when the Berlin Wall came down, Roger Waters quickly threw a concert together in Germany to perform The Wall album. He invited other musical guests to sing different songs from the album. Sinead's version of "Mother" (which you listened to not long ago) is very good.

    Hi Aileen. Thank you SO much for taking the time to allow us to react and travel WITH you on such a heart wrenching song. I was actually a freshman in high school when this came out…and it still hits hard now as it did when I was young and heard this for the 1st time. As a suggestion? I highly recommend listening to her album, “The Lion and The Cobra”. An AMAZING album. Thank you again for sharing and allowing us to take this musical journey with you! Your channel is fantastic. Make it a great day and keep up the great work! 😊🙏🏻

    I really, really, hope you search for her singing a live version of “The Last Day of Our Acquaintance”. It’s a song about the end of a relationship in many ways. It’s gorgeous and heartbreaking at the same time. I love Sinead’s voice, and when she was young and beautiful it was a breathtaking sight to have that rare pairing so vulnerably and bravely displayed. Such a pure, hopelessly flawed heart and pure, raw, emotional voice. One in a generation. Thank you for highlighting her.

    Song was written by Prince. She states in her book that every time she sings this song, she’s thinking of her mother whom she had a very complicated and abusive relationship with but still loved her dearly. Her son committed suicide prior to her own passing.

    The bravery she showed in speaking out against the Catholic church is beyond measure. She spoke for those who could not speak for themselves and bore the brunt of relentless attacks from both the church and the media. Those attacks destroyed her career and but not her soul. May she rest in peace.

    Hi Aileen hope you ok thanks for shared this song remind me my teenage times .
    So basically about the theme The story of 'Nothing Compares 2 U' starts with Prince. The 'Purple Rain' singer and songwriter penned the original version in a short studio session in 1984. In a flurry, Prince created the entire song from scratch, writing the lyrics in a bedroom adjoining the studio.

      ​@krectus guess I'm one of the few contrarians that doesn't care for the Cash version. Musically it lacks the tension notes and hollow sound. Lyrically Cash just sounds like an old man with regret. It falls short of Trent's utter dispare and disgust with himself over the life he lived.
