    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.

  • @herrzimm
    @herrzimm Před 6 měsíci +23

    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.

  • @neilsimon467
    @neilsimon467 Před 6 měsíci +3

    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.

    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.

    This is a cover of Prince's original "Nothing Compares 2 U". Both versions are absolutely beautiful in their own regards. Her song "Drink before the war" is also really strong. One other Irish singer and songwriter is Siobhan Fahey, who has that beautiful song "Stay" with her project Shakespears Sister.

    Bright Angel Aileen, I adore your enthusiasm and spirit when it comes to music. You understand that music is a refuge. A space to
    go between the notes and enjoy the magic of the joy it can bring to your heart. In these sometimes dark and sad times, you shine
    the light of happiness on us all in your reactions. Thanks for that and all the hard work you put into bringing us that light. Your
    eyes are as beautiful as Sinead's. Thanks for the music.

    "Thief of Your Heart" off the soundtrack of "In the Name of the Father" is often overlooked in her repertoire. Was also a good movie starring Daniel Day Lewis. Sinead had many great songs.

      That movie will melt a heart of stone. Pete Posselthwaite and Daniel Day Laws rule the screen with spectacular performances. My brother was locked up in the same prison with them - Brixton Prison in London. The Conlons, father and son, were totally innocent. When Giuseppe, the father, died alone in his prison cell, the rage was palpable in Derry and Belfast that night. Sadly Brixton is now a US brand of bad boy baseball hats. When I ask anyone wearing "Brixton," "Oh, Do you know about Brixton?" So far, not one knows a thing.

    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.

  • @DiamondGirl18

    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.
