She once shared that she shaved her head to protect herself from being abused. She wanted to be "ugly" through the eyes of men. She also did it in protest of her mother calling her the pretty daughter (vs. her "ugly" sister). She shaved again when her record company wanted her to be more sexy and show more skin, so she did..the skin on her head. What strength and bravery this women has. I feel I could sit in a room and talk with her for hours.
This song gives me absolute chills. A unique, intense, passionate performer, someone who truly earns the title "artist." The world will never see the likes of her again.
Minha Rainha da Irlanda Sinéad O'Connor é a única e melhor voz de todos os tempos. Seu legado vai ser ouvido para sempre. Agora você está bem e em paz com seu menino. Não será esquecida,te ouvirei e amarei o resto da minha vida. Esteja em paz Sinéad .🙏🕊👩👦🎶
She grew up in horrid abuse and then got her heart broken many times. But God blessed her with the voice of an angel and she has not taken that lightly. She shares it with all of us through words and emotions we can all relate to. Many singers stand in front of a mic with only words being sung, but she shows her emotions and reaches into your soul. I often wonder what her ex felt when he heard her singing this about him. I think if he came near her she'd flatten him right there on the stage lol
Sinead...LOVE to her. She is, in my opinion, one of the greatest singers/performers of all time. Her emotions are so transparent. She feels so much, personal and for others. Empathy - is a gift as much as it is a curse.
Wow, sneering, screaming, and dancing like a whirling dervish ... Sinead in her prime. It was good time to be in your 20s, I don't care what the kids today say.
Daniel O'Sullivan This is pre hard rock. Sinead went on to compose for Stepping Wolf, Motorhead, Motley Crue, U2 etc, where it was okay to be angry. The inside anger was never vented before. With Stepping Wolf they had some of their own songs and needed an investor, Sinead stepped forward, grabbed the mic, "try screaming like this," Screaming was the only way Sinead would invest. Investment meant losing monies as transportation, reels, and office expenses would eat away profits. But, in Sinead's mind...couples would not be dancing together anymore...and composed songs for reggae, etc. Except, with a softer tone composed songs for country musicians, for Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn and a few males.
Completely unique...i understand where Sinead is coming from with this song..we just don't hear songs like this in 2021 but will always know what she means after 20 plus years..
Бог нам да терет који можемо понети. Ти и ја баш смо могли. Капа до пода Синеад!!! Слава ти и вечна хвала. Уз тебе је овај живот био ј.... о подношљивији. 😢🙏😇💔🇷🇸
what happened to music? who -today - has this passion and talent? it really kills me that music is so bad today. i miss singers like her - truly an amazing performer.
i miss the old sinead but she is a very good mother now...with four adorable kids... with a very handsome son hhhmmmm cute...and the eyes are all from her....love you sinead to pieces!!!
Sinead O'Connor songs have helped me since I was a teenager in the 80's release of "The Lion and the Cobra," album by her was realeased in 1987. Now almost 30 years later they still do. I do not judge others' opinions, but some words of wisdom, when you put down someone else, in this case several comments refer to Sinead needing or hoping by others that she gets through "her shit." When a person talks negative about another person they are only pointing out things in their life that need improving. As for the empowering strength she gives others, guess where that reminder of Sinead's lyrics, shows HER STRENTH!!!!!! Best version of this song ever!
I have never heard Sinead sing. I like she's making statements in a most stamering unusual way makes me feel like writing words like " the world is sin" and How High Is Heaven paradise lost for homeless cp
This song is for a GAY man...ME....I used this as a BREAKUP song....left a CD in the CD player when I moved back home...left note to just hit PLAY....have not talked to that person since....that was 8 years ago....I SO LOVE THIS SONG ! ! ! !
sinead gives me so much strength. goin through divorce after twenty years. suffered in chilhood wiv sexual, physical and mental torture, no use in even explainining wat it does to you an effects u. but sinead expresses it in her songs. if only i cud sing! but ican write ! !
I used to have the SNL version on cassette, but lost it over the years. I found a version on youtube & favorited it, but it was removed. I'd love to find it. Even just the audio.
All I can say is, I absolutely love this performance, its raw, its real & I so can relate!!! High Five to this song :) You will always be my fav artist. Much love from Louisiana ♡
You have feelings, Mrs. O'Connor you sing beautiful for the women's and the crowds will that have happened, you could speak to somebody before anything happened to you. Everybody has problems in the world, but you should end your life's so quick. There's people that really need help with the talk with each other. And people always need help with each other people. Should not end their life, people should talk with people. When somebody gets to the sea, so professionally. It's not your fault you try every penny to help a person. But you have to move on with your life. You still have in your heart, but you're still never let it go. It's like holding your lips pretty in your pocket
She's brilliant. I love the way she sings and plays with such wild abandon. And a 12 string no less. everyone who plays guitar knows how hard is is to master 6 strings. What else to say? Just brilliant!!
This i think is one of the better of Sinead O'Connors songs. Not fully Known to everyone. I really like the melody and when the music really goes on it it sound powerfull. The text is good. Makes me think of some armywoman that says this to her friend.
this song made me so weak and helpless to love sinead more....she's awesome!!!!! she wrote this song from the heart...from her emotions...thank you sinead for sharing your feelings...
What an unbelievable voice, so much passion, and love from Canada 🇨🇦
She once shared that she shaved her head to protect herself from being abused. She wanted to be "ugly" through the eyes of men. She also did it in protest of her mother calling her the pretty daughter (vs. her "ugly" sister). She shaved again when her record company wanted her to be more sexy and show more skin, so she did..the skin on her head. What strength and bravery this women has. I feel I could sit in a room and talk with her for hours.
The irony is that the shaved head only highlighted her extraordinary beauty
I love how she kicks her legs back in true Irish fashion. She uses her whole body and soul to express herself.
She was known to do quite a bit of Irish dancing during her early years.
This song gives me absolute chills. A unique, intense, passionate performer, someone who truly earns the title "artist." The world will never see the likes of her again.
Beautiful music I love her voice
And now we truly never will 😢RIP.,
@@lornehansen2240 This was always my favourite song from Sinead. It's bittersweet, beautiful and ultimately passionate!!!!
Never again
Why has everyone let down this beautiful woman? Her friends, her family, everyone? Why? I just don’t understand!
So fierce and still so tender. Truly a great artist. Utterly beautiful
Has there ever been a performance of a song, more powerful than this one? I think not!
Tout simplement la plus belle voix au monde, la plus belle âme.
Sinéad je t'aime infiniment, tu restes dans mon cœur❤❤😢❤
We lost a beautiful, brave soul who sang boldly with all her heart. Very sorry she's passed, this one hurts.... R.I.P. Ms. Sinead O' Connor 🌹🙏💞
I am SO SAD ... 🌹
I find it impossible to decide which I like best: The first or the last half of this song. Guess I'll have to listen to it yet again. Damn.
I just clapped in my room at 4am. Thank you.
Utterly amazing. Nobody has a voice even close. One that can be ass kickingly angry and yet heartbreakingly tender. Simply the best.
Incredible!! The Janis Joplin of our generation in the form of some Celtic pagan goddess ......
Thank you Sinead. You made my life better.

If alot of people didn't have NDA's we could relate even more. Pure magic
Holy hell.
Amazing.
Love her, always.
R.I P ferocious Goddess! 💔🙏✊🏻
BEST performance EVER!!!!!!😲😲❤❤
An absolute gem of an artist / vocalist, most definitely under rated.
I just love her. ❤️❤️❤️

god let her down
The things this woman set into motion. Can not deny that. Many artists should praise her.
Exactly. She paved a path, and doesn’t get the recognition she deserves.
This version is out of control awesome. She never sold out, and I admire her for that.
The best break up song of ALL TIME.
Sinead...LOVE to her. She is, in my opinion, one of the greatest singers/performers of all time. Her emotions are so transparent. She feels so much, personal and for others. Empathy - is a gift as much as it is a curse.
Nora Bella with you on that i was abused aswel and have bpd we feel emotions in a much higher level
Same here for bpd and abuse...
I always say that. It is a blessing, and a curse.
@@dtzjones7632 c'est exact !
Une hyper sensibilité exacerbée...
Wow, sneering, screaming, and dancing like a whirling dervish ... Sinead in her prime. It was good time to be in your 20s, I don't care what the kids today say.
It sure was! ha ha ... thanks for reminding me

+Daniel O'Sullivan ! a rock star still
@@iriswigleSteppenwolf?
She dives so deeply into the human condition, on and off the stage, and still sings like the voice of an angel reassuring us we are not alone.
This is art. Wish I were there. RIP
I can't find the words for how f-ing epic and emotionally volatile this is. RIP I'll keep fighting...
Sinead, thank you... simply thank you, for this song and for all of your music. The world is a better place because of you.
I had the pleasure of seeing her sing this live in the 90s. 💓 I wanna go back. 😉
That must have been otherworldly.
Take me with you.
Some other worldly brilliance. Untouchable!
it cannot get anymore real than this. absolutely fuckin incredible
She is dead
Spot on pitch ! ,, she was such a great singer song writer 😉👌
Completely unique...i understand where Sinead is coming from with this song..we just don't hear songs like this in 2021 but will always know what she means after 20 plus years..

Can anyone listen to this song, this voice, the words.. and NOT b blown away???? So powerful and real. And beautiful.
life is a gift from God and no one has the right to make it miserable. So I took mine back
The words to describe this are spoken only in Heaven.
what happened to music? who -today - has this passion and talent? it really kills me that music is so bad today. i miss singers like her - truly an amazing performer.
Sinead...one of the very best songs she ever did. I love her.
"God breathes through us so completely, so gently, we hardly feel it: yet it is our everything." 🌹

Sick sick sick wonderful, passionate, and bittersweet.....Always loved Sinead,......but had not though of looking her up on youtube, until tonight!
PeakOilCountdown says: "Possibly the saddest song I've ever heard!". I agree!
Only a very few pass through this existence. She is one of the gifted ones. See her for what she is. Special. I not only see her but I feel her.
"This is not for the men, it's for the women..."
Thank you,, Michelle, for oploading this beautiful performance. This is exactly how I will always remember her.
i miss the old sinead but she is a very good mother now...with four adorable kids... with a very handsome son hhhmmmm cute...and the eyes are all from her....love you sinead to pieces!!!
This woman is awesome, she gave me the strength to move on.
+Nicole Stevens Hopefully she can find that strength herself.
Eine der Besten!!!!! Bin froh, meine jungen Jahre von Ihr begleitet zu wissen. Danke Sinead
This song is one of the the most powerfully performed songs I have ever seen !!

She is dead
As a stupid teenager she got me through some shit, I hope she gets through her own shit.

love Sinead no matter what, she's just The Woman, a little unusual look but she has a great heart and lot of love and passion.
She's brilliant. I love the way she sings and plays with such wild abandon. And a 12 string no less. everyone who plays guitar knows how hard is is to master 6 strings.
What else to say? Just brilliant!!
Sometimes, god speaks, and sometimes, she is Sinead.
excellent vocal - all best songs are sung with passion, desire and from the heart
Amazing song and performance...she's truly one of a kind.
