    Sinead was the first victim of cancel culture, that I can recall after her appearance on SNL. She was banned for life on nbc, in 1992, after Sinead held up a photo of Pope John Paul II and tore it in half. To her, the photo "represented lies and liars and abuse". And she was correct.

      Hardly the first. I guess you're not aware of the blacklisting of Hollywood actors, writers, etc. in the '50s for suspected connections to the Communist Party. So called "cancel culture" is nothing new, it has always existed in one form or another. They tried to "cancel" The Beatles after John's controversial remarks about The Beatles having a bigger following than Jesus. But they were The Beatles so good luck with that. 😄

      Mark is correct. It was double tracked at the suggestion of Sinead. However the lead vocal wasn’t double tracked electronically, but by Sinead singing over her first take perfectly in synch.
      ‘’She sang it straight off and then said, 'I want to double-track it. ' So, that's what she did and it was perfect. I was really surprised. I had never seen anybody double-track something so perfectly that there was no need to then drop-in and fix stuff.’’
      It takes some talent to double track your own vocals in perfect sync.

    Sinead cut her hair when her record company wanted to package her as another “pop princess”, the haircut was her way of protesting/preventing that. Sadly, she’s struggled with a lot of mental health issues and we didn’t get nearly the amount of music from her that we could have otherwise.

    • @StevesFunhouse
      @StevesFunhouse Před 2 lety +23

      She also did it for a couple other reasons. She only cut it completely off after that, but she had short hair long before that ... here's the story from the Dr. Phil Show...
      "“When we were children, my sister had beautiful red hair, glorious red hair. That’s why I’d be jealous of her,” O’Connor shares. “But my mother took it into her head that my sister’s hair was ugly, and horrible and disgusting. And she started, when I had long hair, she would introduce us as her pretty daughter and her ugly daughter. And that’s why I cut my hair off. I didn’t want to be pretty.
      O’Connor opens up about her childhood, claiming that she suffered abuse at the hands of her mother daily. And, she reveals that she was raped as a child numerous times.”
      That sentiment actually followed her everywhere she went. At another time, she also confided that it wasn't safe being a pretty girl where she was from, and short hair helped to tone down her looks. She never escaped it, because, even with pretty much no hair, she was and is still very beautiful.

I thought I would be safe being fat so guys wouldn't want to assault me anymore. I have replaced one problem with another but at least they left me alone. It's also why she tore up the pope's picture because she knew back then what the priests were doing to little kids and the pope and his minions were hiding it all. She tried to tell everyone but no one believed, or wanted to believe her.

She's had a difficult relationship with her Mom , to say the least...Listen to FIRE on Babylon! This song was actually written by Prince, it was just something that struck a personal cord because of her own pain at the time. Great ,great pick!! Also, try. Drink before the war, Jerusalem, Never gets old, or Jackie O!! All great, GREAT songs!!!

      He recorded it himself in 1984. Then gave it to his side band, The Family, to record in 1985. Then because Prince liked Sinead's voice, gave it to her to record in 1989. It was released, January of 1990. It was a huge hit, and remained on the charts for quite a while. Prince wrote & recorded the song, but he didn't make it a hit, Sinead did. This irritated Prince, and his jealousy turned him against her. He was petty like that.

    Almost spot on: this was released in 1990, so 31 years ago. It's one of those timeless songs, I think, which is why you were surprised by just how old it is. It was a massive hit back the and that Parton the video wher tears just roll freely down her face was one of those iconic visuals of that time. So weir to think there's an entire generation (possibly 2) who don't know this song or who Sinaed is. BtW, she's Irish which is why the pronunciation of her name is unexpected. Sadly, another comments have said, she has struggled with a lot of really bad metal health issues over the years.

Remember the song is a cover of a song written and originally performed by Prince so I think it meant different things to each of them. I am a year younger than her and her album The Lion and the Cobra changed my life. We just found out she died earlier this evening at only 56 and I can’t stop crying. She changed the world in so many ways to speak up for those without a voice. Thank you Sinead for all your strength, courage and music. Now be with your sweet son. RIP 💔
