Believe me, she's simply the best. My God what she has in her voice that captives us all. God Bless Sinead!!! I hope to keep hearing her for long long years to come.
to anyone who thinks this woman cant shake the world with her voice and stand with any vocalist in any era or any genre, play "drink before the war", and get back to me....
I noticed on several other sites that a lot of people slagged off Sinead's version of this most wonderful of songs so,full of curiosity,I had a listen. Christ - it's fantastic!! I loved it on first hearing and that's very rare for me. Yes,the Cocteau's version is arguably still the very best but this comes very close. Having said that,I am still waiting for the first Sinead recording that I don't like - she is without doubt one of the most fabulous artists of all time.
I agree with the 'LION & COBRA' reference. She was never better than she was then. This is an awesome cover and Sinead has the most beautiful voice and could sing a phone book and make me cry. Thanks for posting.
Je n'arrive pas à passer une journée sans entendre la voix de ma Sinéad , qui me manque terriblement, Sinéad, je t'aime, ta belle âme et ta voix magique sublime tout ❤
This Mortal Coils version with Liz is amazing but Sineads is brilliant as well. Liz and Sinead are both huge talents and Ive seen both live for which I am grateful. I saw Sinead in Berkeley in 1991 and Cocteau Twins 1990. Both amazing concerts.
I've never heard this song.its beautiful. It sounds like lovely bones song a very sad song about children getting kidnapped by a petaphyl. Sinead was all about that. God bless her and Shane 🙏🙏❤
La voce di Sinead e' magica, riempie il cuore e la mente e agita la mia anima.Mi sembra di essere in un' alba bellissima che promette la pace.....spero che anche Sinead abbia trovato pace in un cielo bellissimo dove lei e' la stella piu' luminosa. Magnifica donna e interprete, grazie della bellezza che hai donato.Meritavi molto di piu' ma la vita non e' stata semplice per te. Ti voglio bene per sempre❤
this is trully emotional... makes me goosebumps all over my body, you just need to hear it and be beyond eyes, heart and mind. This song speaks to my soul and I'm a believer of a old new world with sirens and every other stuffs exists. We, someday, be allowed to see everything already exists...
her voice is the beauty here; not her rendition. it is tim or the twins that nailed it. but it bears repeating - her voice is like no other in sheer unique beauty.
INCONTRARTI UN GIORNO E AVVICINANDOMI A TE RAGAZZA DALLA TESTA RASATA E DAL SORRISO UNICO E COSI' SENTIRE IL PROFUMO DEL TUO ESSERE. SINEAD O' CONNOR VIVE❤
To the people that say a man shouldn't sing this song, check before you speak! The song was written and sung by Tim Buckley, so written by a man. Furthermore, the song is about a sirens who lure men, and is called Song to a Siren, therefore is from the perspective of a man singing to a woman! Women can sing it but to say it isn't a mans song is idiotic.
Vou te ouvir e amar sempre minha cantora número um e especial. Não será esquecida através das tuas músicas que ficou pra marcar. Minha Rainha da Irlanda Sinéad O'Connor é a única e melhor voz de todos os tempos. Para sempre Sinéad O'Connor. ❤👊
while i admit that liz's version (from TMC's lp) is the best around!; I think you need to listen to Sinead's again. Sinead O'Connor has one of the most amazing voices in music and has done MANY things above and beyond that Prince cover that propelled her to super stardom that she never wanted.
Exactly Spookiness1. Once you've heard Tim Buckley sing this song then everyone else does not even come close to the emotion and power he felt when he sang it. He was the one.
Sinead does a great version ...but the Cocteaus makes me cry...I was mixing a record at Tony Visconti's studio in Soho ,London and staying at The Hotel Slavia..I went down the street and boght a cheap radio boombox. My only friend in London was my engineer Julian Mendelsohn (brilliant)..On Sunday nights I was soo lonesome I listened to Annie on Radio One...She played this song..It was a true comfort to me
although I do like the Twins version better, because Liz takes you there, like she always does, Sinead sings it in a way that makes you feel something different. Something less sad, but still moving. I like it.
I think Sinead is a robot from inner Earth - not exactly completely alien, but not quite fully human. She exudes a definite weird coolness. I could imagine Annie Lennox doing this song with gobs of soul. I like soul.
great song from sinead...i love her so much...hope she will start touring again and her kids are all grown up....time for her to appear again...in the music scene...plsssssss sinead
That's not a bad response!! I completely agree with you that a lot of today's "artists" are very precious and are complete mediocrities,but I've always considered Sinead to be extremely talented - I think eccentric rather than outright pretentious. When I heard her sing Mandinka all those years ago I thought she was the best female singer to emerge since Dusty Springfield. That's still my view.
Sussie, If that is true then your story is sadder than my own. Love is the most beautiful and destructive force in life but it is worth the pain. I wish you love, sometime and with someone special.
I wonder if in 100 years they will remember this song or miley cyrus...lol Oh god sinead you are so gorgeous in every way. You've always been there for me . God bless you
Well put~ A Child heart that she resonates, best to grow wise, never grow old keep it open for the pure wonder... I would add another fine vioce with wings. Ray Lamontagne - Shelter
I should point out that Moya Brennan is on backing vocals - I don't know why she isn't credited. A shame that her voice was taken out of the album version, it works so well- both have beautiful vocal talents.
Robert Plant & The Strange Sensation - Song To The Siren - Live '02 Austin is also a excellent version.. and I agree with many here.. it's the most beautiful song..
Hey Sinead Lovers, Check Out Her NEWEST Song From Her SOON To Be Released Full Length CD Called "Home". The Song Is Called "Take Off Your Shoes". There's A Fan Video Made For The Song Here On CZcams. The Song Is GREAT And Her Voice Sounds AMAZING!!! The Tone Of The Song Reminds Me Of "The Lion And The Cobra" Era!!! The Cd Will Be Released In June, Be Sure To Buy It!!!
What a beautiful rendition. I do gently wish to add that Tim Buckley is exceptionally enchanting and that this performance evokes a gazillion goosebumps: v=vMTEtDBHGY4
I've just nipped down into my cobweb-covered vinyl vault to check my 33. It doesn't actually bear a release date but, thinking back, I'm sure you're right - 1984 sounds about right. I can relate the date to the bird I was going out with at the time - a scrubber with black roots and a slight limp who worked for NORWEB - so please accept my sincere apologies for the chronological confusion.
i believe that sinead is on my line. it´s very great. oh, when i would know the frequence of this waves i could broadcast my good wishes to her. but........ greetings to the free world.
@ThomasDeanNordlum Sheila Chandra got a version as well. Kind of easy listening compared to what Sheila normaly do, but defenetly worth checking out. You find it here on You Tube.Check out her album Moonsung if you have not heard any of her works. By the way, Sinead is fantastic. Still is and always will be.
There is another artist that one of the Cocteau Twins performed, it was a solo by Elizabeth Fraser did herself, no background band, just her singing, it is a fairly recent posting from her performing in 1983, she has short reddish-blond hair on a black background, that is my favorite. I got confused myself on all the covers, it said This Mortal Coil, exact same lyrics Even though I have listened to youtube songs for years, I'm still baffled on how to send a song. .
El alma más grande fuerte y preciosa tú eres 💕 si estás hacin en el cielo alma entre las almas besos al cielo eres el amor en persona has pasado mucho besos de a hora de un nuevo fan ❤
Wow. This is my new favorite version of the song (with the Czar's a close second). I love this song and Sinead made me love it even more. Because of this song and her version of silent night, I'm going to check out more of her music.
I love Cocteau Twins original , but I also love Sinead O'Connor cover. So, I think I should make seppuku. But 'cos I'm not Japanise I prefer to listen (and love) the both.
@ThomasDeanNordlum Totally right that the best cover is Elizabeth Frazer but to say the original is 'worth a listen' is for me missing the sheer brilliance of Buckley and his delivery of these lyrics - the version he did on the Monkies TV was in my humble opinion - fantastic and Frazer did her own fab take which is always the sign of a great cover
While I am enchanted by any version of this song, Sinead sings it with this magical haunting feel which is why I love her rendition of this classic.
Ms. Sinead E fada
Believe me, she's simply the best. My God what she has in her voice that captives us all. God Bless Sinead!!! I hope to keep hearing her for long long years to come.

yes. It's fantastic ❤

Sinead O'Connor's voice is something other worldly.
Je n'arrive pas à passer une journée sans entendre la voix de ma Sinéad , qui me manque terriblement, Sinéad, je t'aime, ta belle âme et ta voix magique sublime tout ❤
Ami me pasa también..voz privilegiada ❤

So haunting her voice is amazing 👍god bless her and her family❤
This to me is one of the great versions of this Tim Buckley song, Sinead is produced more than most of her stuff but this is a magic sound. Powerful
Wow you sing this beautifully R.I P. Beautiful irish dublin angel, love you
LONG LIVE SINEAD, PRINCESS OF IRELAND...
This song is absolutely amazing.
La voce di Sinead e' magica, riempie il cuore e la mente e agita la mia anima.Mi sembra di essere in un' alba bellissima che promette la pace.....spero che anche Sinead abbia trovato pace in un cielo bellissimo dove lei e' la

Votre message est beau et tellement vrai , j'en pleure.
Sinéad, on t'aime, je t'aime ❤❤❤😢
@@stephanestermann7451❤❤❤❤❤
Ah Sinéady .... did you know how enchantingly beautiful your voice is...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
it is this artist's sincerity that cuts me 2 the core . a voice that sounds better than sugar tastes .
+The Creative Process Diet There are better covers of this song. Bryan Ferry's is the best, IMO.
This version is so good.
Her irish 'here' at 1:32 still gives me chills. It's the most enchanting version of Tim Buckley's song for me.
this is trully emotional... makes me goosebumps all over my body, you just need to hear it and be beyond eyes, heart and mind. This song speaks to my soul and I'm a believer of a old new world with sirens and every other stuffs exists. We, someday, be allowed to see everything already exists...
Fantastic cover, love it, perfect for Sinead.
her voice is the beauty here; not her rendition. it is tim or the twins that nailed it.
but it bears repeating - her voice is like no other in sheer unique beauty.

Ésta es una canción extraordinaria y preciosa, no me cansaria de escucharla!
Tradução. Canção para a sirene. Linda música. So a Sinead para tocar nos corações apaixonados.
Stunning, absolutely stunning.

i love this version so much
thank you for posting it Fan #1. I really love this song and this lady!
Sinead we are waiting for your new record.You are just the queen.I love this so much,I listen to it over and over again.Thank you special cases
Exactly Spookiness1. Once you've heard Tim Buckley sing this song then everyone else does not even come close to the emotion and power he felt when he sang it. He was the one.
been hearing and loving This Mortal Coil's version but Sinead's version changed it the first time i heard it.
Sinead does a great version ...but the Cocteaus makes me cry...I was mixing a record at Tony Visconti's studio in Soho ,London and staying at The Hotel Slavia..I went down the street and boght a cheap radio boombox.

É uma pena que ela se foi para sempre 😢😢😢 virou uma estrela 🌟🌟 no céu 😢😢
I think Sinead is a robot from inner Earth - not exactly completely alien, but not quite fully human. She exudes a definite weird coolness. I could imagine Annie Lennox doing this song with gobs of soul. I like soul.

First time I have ever heard this song and can,t stop lisining to it.Beautiful voice,
Sinéad, eu te amo!!!
This Is From The 2010 Documentary Music Of Ireland-Welcome Home. It's A PBS Show/DVD, Which Will Include A CD Release Full Of Amazing Irish Artists.
Amazing song and an amazing woman, I love her :D
This song was not written by The Cocteau Twins...it was written by Tim Buckley, the father of Jeff Buckley.
I heard Robert Plant's cover this beauty song and also Cocteau Twins but none of this both is so sensuality. Thanks for sharing :))))
ESSE VOZ É UMA DAS MAIS BELA....
The twin's version brings tears to my eyes but I prefer Sinead's rendering because it is easier to hear the words and the words are so beautiful.
I cry a lot with the original version of Mr. Tim Buckley ♥
Sussie Quinones Truly beautiful song
It perfectly describes one of my relationships that really found me cast onto the rocks of love and from which I have never really recovered.
Sorry to read that exp. from your life, but you were lucky... I never being in love of no one!!
Sussie, If that is true then your story is sadder than my own. Love is the most beautiful and destructive force in life but it is worth the pain. I wish you love, sometime and with someone special.
grew up listening to liz fraser singing this song but loving sinead do it, too
I wonder if in 100 years they will remember this song or miley cyrus...lol Oh god sinead you are so gorgeous in every way. You've always been there for me . God bless you
It's MUSIC. Just music. No terrorism. Put the fear away and enjoy. For God's sake relax.
As usual, so brilliant !
Found this only on the compilation Music of Ireland - Welcome Home. Thanks for sharing...I had no idea she even recorded this song.
Thank you thank you thank you for posting this up Kevin - fcuking awesome! bring on the tour. x
just lovely. reminds me and makes me long for my sweetie. i wish he was here now.. xoxox
Well put~
A Child heart that she resonates, best to grow wise, never grow old keep it open for the pure wonder...
I would add another fine vioce with wings.
Ray Lamontagne - Shelter
very good! this song

u all say such meaningfull things it makes my heart melt
Buckley was unsurpassable, listen to the Cocteau Twins version...awesome. and yes i love Sinead.s version!
A great song. Thank u for sharing. Gracias!!!
a woman who sings with enchanting sweetness
I should point out that Moya Brennan is on backing vocals - I don't know why she isn't credited. A shame that her voice was taken out of the album version, it works so well- both have beautiful vocal talents.
this astonishing
the HOLY sinead O'Connor
Great Cover Update of the song but I still love This Mortal Coil - Liz Frazier's voice and production too.
Robert Plant & The Strange Sensation - Song To The Siren - Live '02 Austin is also a excellent version.. and I agree with many here.. it's the most beautiful song..

amazing cover
Very nice.
Esto me gusta mucho esta mejor cada día mil gracias..🙋😶
❤❤ Hare Krišna 🍀🍂🧡🙏
just gorgeous.
So beeauuuuuutiful... Thank you!
Love the image from _The Butcher's Boy_.
"For fuck's sake, Frankie!"
Love you Sinead!!!
John Frusciante's version is the best I've heard... This takes all the meaning and passion out of the song for me...
i believe that sinead is on my line. it´s very great. oh, when i would know the frequence of this waves i could broadcast my good wishes to her. but........ greetings to the free world.

She sounds so similar to Kate Havnevik sometimes. :) I love both their voices. So ethereal but strong!

My heart yearns for home! Knowing the TRUTH here only breaks my heart ... Such evil here it out weighs the good. I long to walk in Eden again
Ohhh thank you so much.
I love Cocteau Twins original , but I also love Sinead O'Connor cover.
So, I think I should make seppuku.
But 'cos I'm not Japanise I prefer to listen (and love) the both.
@denpunk666mitsos Dang...there goes the Archduke Ferdinand and Kaiser Wilhelm all rolled up together in one package looking for trouble again
