Yes.. may she rest in eternal peace.. 🙏🙏🙏 because she got little peace here.. and she was right about so much.. ☘️☘️☘️.. her words dug her grave a long time ago.. 😢😢 xx
Nobody thought her protest of Catholic Church child sex abuse was cowardice. They reacted as they were told to by authorities that is was blasphemy, because they'd rather worship some weird old Nazi man in an ornate dress than listen to the God they claim to understand. The vast majority are moral cowards when they run in packs.
I don't think the world thought it was cowardice but rather the world (not the world but the media and those reading/viewing the media at the time) just didn't know how to deal with it. I can't imagine the outcry/negativity and hatred if that SNL episode happened in the day of social media without any context. At the end of the day, her voice and music should be her legacy, not any perceived controversial actions. One of the best voices ever.
The honest, the brave, the fearless, the unapologetic, the stubborn, the broken, the wisdom, the fragile…. The one and only Sinead O Connor. RIP Sinead, may your heart be at peace now 🙏🏽 🇮🇪
Not broken Just cracked.Siinead was a strong but hurt Irish warrior Woman,Thank god he gave her the voice of an Angel aswell so she could release some of that hurt.Its amazes me that the world is only appreciating Sinead now that she's moved to paradise.God definitely took an Angel home.God bless you Sinead o Connor.
There's a huge distiction between talent and personality. Sinead O'Connor and Amy Winehouse both had bags of talent and amazing voices, but I wouldn't want to share a house with either of them!
@@JTHBS She has not lost her mind. How shallow of you to say that. She suffers from depression related to PTSD from being severely abused as a child from her mother. It has come to a head for her the past few years after decades of keeping it bottled up. She improved after you wrote this but she has slipped backwards a bit recently after a dear friend of hers passed away. She is now, finally, getting the emotional help she has so greatly needed. None of this means she has "lost her mind" as you said. It makes her human!
It turns out you were the hero and not a pariah. Thank you for your bravery, angelic voice, and defending those who suffered in silence. Rest in peace, rebel. ❤
The brilliance of making a song about England's brutal oppression of Ireland ("your rage is like a fist in my womb"), and the hope for peace and dialogue ("Oh let glorious love be done"), be in the form of a song about a man and a woman. Rest in power to a true artist, radical, and iconoclast whose voice carried the souls of her ancestors with whom she is now reunited.
As an Englishman who has lived in Ireland for 15 years, I realise the struggle will never truly be over until there is a United Ireland. I hope one day this may happen. I am truly sorry for what my forefathers did to your beautiful country.
It may sound so naive...as a 53 old woman l long lost my right to claim naivety, however as a human being l will never ever be able to conceptualize, justify or intellectualize the atrocities fellow human beings inflict upon each other...from slavery,the Holocaust, Colonialism...they say love conquers all, really??
As an Irishman I truly appreciate your sentiment & while we don't hold any animosity towards English ppl for the atrocities their forefathers committed, at the same time we cannot forgive British government when to this day they still fail to give access to documents in relation to the Dublin monaghan bombing & the role of their military in murder of 120 innocent Catholics in 1970's/80's & how they lied for over 50 years about the massacre of 11 Catholics at ballymurphy with only a pathetic apology by Boris a few weeks ago after an inquest directed that non of the ppl Massacres were combatants, yet British gov & military denied parents of those murdered the truth & had their names desecrated as terrorist taking their pain to the grave.
A real Irish artist, like Dolores and many more. This is so heart-wrenching, but so cleverly written about when Ireland was invaded by the British, described in a metaphor as a young couple, the Irish being a young girl who was in a relationship with a British soldier and fell pregnant with him, and he walked away and left her alone heartbroken. ( the official video depicts this, this live version just reflects her pain and heartbreak so much )
Condolences to her family members...She was a brave soul who made certain statements against the Roman Catholic which turned out to be true. Many preachers in the world did not have the guts to do what she did.
@@Anonymous-sf5qj wrong, she was not totally insane, and she also dealt with her own child abuse from her mother & also losing her mother when Sinead was 18. "She criticised child abuse within the Church but did not have the guts to name the homosexual fifth column within the clergy as the perps." " criticised" what did you expect her to do to stay silent about the abuse, btw it's never been just the abuse of boys, it's child sex abuse it wasn't committed only by homosexuals, girls were molested by the Clergy as well. You talk as though you think rape is sex, it's violence. She believed in religion inculcated into it by family, maybe you don't know that the 3 abrahamic religions all stem from one, it does and one who think they're better than the other two, a myth they created, she believed so she sought peace in the wrong place, religion. She had every right to renounce her religion or to become a priest if she so wanted and could.
@@Anonymous-sf5qjOk, "Anonymous". Show us YOUR guts and name the members of your, "homosexual fifth column of priests". And don't forget to put your real name to it.
without trying to be profound, maybe our fragility and openness and honesty is what gives us our power when we speak or sing. Sinead does that totally, wow
I bawled when I first saw this video, which wasn't long ago. The depth of Sinead's wisdom - singing a love song directly to an Englishman, as an Irish woman - hit a rare chord within the heart of this Indigenous woman. Sinead is truly a heroine beyond measure. May her soul rest in the good work she has accomplished.
It’s a metaphor, it’s Ireland speaking to England about all the hurt and wrongdoings of The Crown. She’s an angel and she’s now found peace. We’ve lost a REAL one for sure. Rest easy Sinead ☘️✊☘️
@@Midland_Wolf_71 I can't believe I've only just heard this now! Thanks for the background information of the song. Much appreciated 💗 - Kiwi Sinead fan x
@@haleyrichardson8818 You’re welcome Haley. Yeah, resonates far more when you know the intention of the writing… The world has lost a truly special one and in time those who wronged her will surely realise it. These souls are few and far between and we should trasure them when we recognise them. RIP Angel ☘
sie hat zum ersten mal mein herz berührt,als ich mit 25 jahre zur bundeswehr mußte.sogar meine kameraden wußten es.der andere song,der einem niemals aus dem kopf geht,weiß jeder... hier der song ist auch total schön.... ich liebe dich sinead....
No one has ever spoken their mind and sung from their soul like Sinead - because she couldn’t be any other way. I’m sad for her difficult journey, but thankful for all she shared.
I hope people can one day realise the IMPORTANCE of Sinead as an artist. Everyhing she sings has a level of creative genius and she is infact an artist of historical importance in Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 As an Irishman i must say Im very proud of her for never conforming and for always standing up to injustice.
She doesn't seem to have any idea how immense she is and how her life and work have embedded her in our long history, for the good. She doesn't get how much she is loved.
When I drink a few I can't help but listen to her beautiful voice and songs... Everytime Everytime....my kids and wife think I'm bananas but the other day I walked in in my son lifting weights with don't cry for me Argentina playing and I knew that the passion for her music has been passed down to the next generation
I cry watching this. I never knew her, but i knew her. Such a blessed pure voice. I was watching tv that night when she tore that picture. I knew my entire life the evil going down. I stood by her actions. And look what has come out about the synagogue of satan? She was correct. Who is left to say sorry to?
How many of those who denounced her because of SNL are willing to stand tall today by what they believed in then? That will tell you how much the world has changed because of people like Sinéad. Imagine a world where these people didn't speak up! Rest in the spirit of love & in gentle peace. May your beloved son be there to greet you. 🪽🪽💔
I love you my hard Englishman Your rage is like a fist in my womb Can't you forgive what you think I've done And love me - I'm your woman And I desire you my hard Englishman And there is no more natural thing So why should I not get loving Don't be cold Englishman [Chorus] How come you've never said you love me In all the time you've known me How come you never say you're sorry And I do [Verse 2] Ah, please talk to me Englishman What good will shutting me out get done Meanwhile crazies are killing our sons Oh listen - Englishman I've honoured you - hard Englishman Now I am calling your heart to my own Oh let glorious love be done Be truthful - Englishman [Chorus] How come you've never said you love me In all the time you've known me How come you never say you're sorry And I do I do
Dear Sinead, I am truly sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved son. We should never let even a mere second pass us by again without realizing what is of greatest importance to each of us. One another.
No you’re not alone as I watch every video she has made today. If we could be even a little bit of an activist, humanitarian that she was it might be another world.😢
"Those in power write the history, those who suffered wrote the songs and given our history we have an awful lot of songs." Rest in eternal peace dear Sinead. رحمك الله رحمة واسعة.
This extremely talented woman's demise is something that I will never understand. We are the same age and I guess that I am poorer financially in comparison but I'm sure that I know whose life I would have preferred to have lived. Bless you Sinead.. I can feel your honesty in every word that you sing on every song that you sing. Bless you.
I saw a wild deer this morning sinead it wasn’t scared of me I it was magical it is my friends funeral tomorrow I loved her so did poppy love you sinead 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤ 2:35
Jesus, one forgets her sheer beauty as her songs are overwhelming. She was simply gorgeous. My feelings are numbed because I'm on a shedload of meds but on hearing of her death, grief hit me hard. RIP Sinead and Shane. ❤❤
My family are Irish/Scottish who migrated to America. I can hear her voice in the bluegrass and celtic songs I grew up listening to. She had a voice that was pure and true. RIP Sinead.
Often people like Sinead are not understood the depth of her passion continually tormented her . .Sometimes your passion runs so deep you continually struggle .She probably never realized the impact she made on others .I’m sure many times she felt very alone .
I'm half Irish, half Yorkshire. My father was Irish, I share his humour, passion and forgiveness. I've taken time to study irish history. The vast majority of English people know nothing of Irelands past or the way her men, women and children were treated. If they went away and educated themselves instead of relying on only what they are told. . .then they would truly understand 800 years of Irelands history. . .as i do now. I hope my children, if not me live to see Ireland united and free.
Since she passed away I've been listening to this song a lot. I think it really captures the pain and complexity of her life. I hope she's finally at peace.
Revisiting Sinead with this powerful song. I see Sinead and Dolores O'Riordan hand in hand, running through the tall, warm grasses and flowers of summer in their native homeland Ireland, singing out to the sun.... God bless you women. Rest in Peace.
Such a powerful pure soul. She was fearless and suffered such brutality as a child. The Catholic church has been monstrous. Mankind and its conceit and hunger for power and control in organized religions as well as governments all over. It is never ending.
This song breaks my heart as an Englishman. And the reason why it does is because it doesn't strike me as a love song from an abused Irish woman to her hard English boyfriend... ...but from the battered Republic of Ireland to the hard United Kingdom. From Sineaed's country to mine. Our two countries are mostly fond of each other, there's a lot of love between our peoples, but... let's just say that we, the British have fone a fair amount orf bad things to the Irish for many centuries and we, the British, tend to gloss over it or forget it ever happened. Ther Irish don't forget, they just don;t holf onto their hate (for the most part) But for us, it's all bygones y'know, in the past and a little too awkward to dwell on. Even though the consequences of all that ecgoes down even to today.
You should hear yourself, mate. It’s no wonder the Irish don’t forget, how can they, the day the English quit being English is when they’ll start forgetting. You still don’t get it, do you?
@@quemades "You should hear yourself, mate. It’s no wonder the Irish don’t forget, how can they, the day the English quit being English is when they’ll start forgetting. You still don’t get it, do you?" What are English people? How do English people quit being English?
I was listening to this on my way to work this morning thinking about how much I would like to cover it. What a strange way this day ended, forever unfortunately for this beautiful soul. RIP Sinead.
Beautiful beyond words. Sinead O’Connor is just magnificent. So much respect for her. I hope Ireland holds her as a national treasure. What an essentially important artist in our history. 💜
This is exactly how I remember Sinead. In 1993 I was fortunate enough to be in her class at The Bel Canto School of Music In Dublin. Although she was a huge global artist, in there Sinead was just... Sinead. One of the most beautiful souls you could ever hope to meet on this earth.
@@whocares8915 well another text warrior. Who doesn't know shit from shinola. The wrong to the people of ireland is glairing in history and i would rather add my little bit towards peace
Good for you mister Jim Cambell, I do understand your point of you, but be aware that you are not responsible for your father's "duty", irish people have suffered a great deal, and it's still going on, differently, certainly, but it is still there, tensions between two communities. I , for my part, would like to see the whole of Ireland reunited, that's my wish. I've lived long enough in Northern Ireland to have known what life looks like over there, I can never forget, nor forgive the massacres perpetrated on innocent people who were just eager to simply live decently. My only hope is to see Irish people live freely, on their own land, carry on speaking irish gaelic which is originally their language and keep their own culture. Perhaps, one day battles will be over, but I have doubts...
it seems to me this song is about our shared English/Irish history. Travelling in Ireland you become aware of much real affection for England, people you meet like to tell you about happy times they spent in England and family who live there. But we English don’t really understand this or reciprocate. We never say we love you….
Maybe do not seek to reduce her. She is always kind. A little louder when her or her children's needs are neglected by others. Survival, protection frustration maybe , obviously understandably . Understanding, not judging. Pls try, for her, others... and yourself xx
I have listened to this breathtaking song many, many times. It is one of my all-time favourite Sinéad songs and I just can’t get enough of it. I will never tire of hearing her voice. I hope she has now found the peace she longed for. You were so loved, Sinéad x
Your music has been a comfort during the tormenting bouts of insanity and your life was an inspiration which I always strove to imitate during my brief moments of lucidity. My heart is beyond broken! You paid your dues and the whole world owes you! The world lost its fiercest warrior today. More a man than any man, a great brother in time of need, and a mother/father of the church that was most sorely needed. Thank you for tearing down Popes that needed to be, and thank you for not bowing before any king! I love you S.O.!
The British hated the Irish because they wouldn't cow tow to their British Ways .. Erin Go Bragh lives Forever and we are so Proud of being Irish like Sinead.
If Tracy Chapman takes my soul to the gates of Paradise then Sinead will keep me there eternally, hey bar tender give me another drink and turn the volume up...
The church and American media and society owes her a HUGE apology. She told the truth.
True.
Absolutely False!
Rest in Peace, Sinéad! A beautiful but troubled soul.
Truth.

That's terrible news, RIP Sinead, this is one of the greatest Irish songs ever written.
A light just went out in this world 😢🕯
What the world thought was cowardice in the 1990's is now looked upon as a great act of bravery. RIP Sinead.
She was ahead of her time and was 100% right.
It seems it always happens that way. She opened eyes with her truth. Nothing stays hidden forever.

There are some very lucky people who were in that studio to witness that. She was an astonishingly good singer. Pains to say was ….
Greeting from Egypt to you Sinead and to the ppl of Ireland 🇮🇪 .
She invents modern day classic Irish hyms that will survive and be sang long after she has passed
I saw a wild deer this morning sinead it wasn’t scared of me I it was magical it is my friends funeral tomorrow I loved her so did poppy love you sinead 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤ 2:35
There is nothing so heartbreaking as the clear, ringing cry of an Irish voice.
So true
That lilt.
now THAT is well said.
Agreed. There is so much longing in it.
@@barrypuckett2488 the Scots have it too. It's the Celtic fight for freedom.
Jesus, one forgets her sheer beauty as her songs are overwhelming. She was simply gorgeous. My feelings are numbed because I'm on a shedload of meds but on hearing of her death, grief hit me hard. RIP Sinead and Shane. ❤❤
How is this not more famous?
My family are Irish/Scottish who migrated to America. I can hear her voice in the bluegrass and celtic songs I grew up listening to. She had a voice that was pure and true. RIP Sinead.
No one sings like this woman did. She left us way too soon. I will love her forever!!!
Often people like Sinead are not understood the depth of her passion continually tormented her . .Sometimes your passion runs so deep you continually struggle .She probably never realized the impact she made on others .I’m sure many times she felt very alone .
Well said. Her empathy and emotional depth made her a great singer, but also made her very vulnerable. The curse of the great artists, I think.
@@StCreed yes I agree .I loved her passion and her music .I think I own every recording she ever made .
Beautiful life came to a tragic end.This world deserves an apology to her. Rest in peace Sinead O'Connor!
Listening to this with tears in my eyes after hearing of the passing of Sinead .
Rest in peace
I'm half Irish, half Yorkshire. My father was Irish, I share his humour, passion and forgiveness. I've taken time to study irish history. The vast majority of English people know nothing of Irelands past or the way her men, women and children were treated. If they went away and educated themselves instead of relying on only what they are told. . .then they would truly understand 800 years of Irelands history. . .as i do now.
I hope my children, if not me live to see Ireland united and free.
Dave Molloy I’m half Irish and half Yorkshire also. God bless you and I agree with you 100%
Youll see it dave dont worry mate its coming
iam full English no halves in me , and understand history fully read and observe
can the Irish be trusted? The Brits intercept shipments of arms from Palestine...
Since she passed away I've been listening to this song a lot. I think it really captures the pain and complexity of her life. I hope she's finally at peace.
Ich bin mir da sicher. Die andere Seite ist ruhig und friedlich. Ich durfte kurz rüber schauen...
🕯️💚🤍🧡 May Creator Keep and Bless Sinead O’Connor’s Family, Friends, and Fans!
May Peace ✌🏾 Reign R.I.P. Sinead 🌿🦬🌿🦌🌿
InShaaAllah!🤍☪️💜✝️🤍🕎💜
Sinead and now Shane.Two unbelievable legends gone in the one year,just not fair
Revisiting Sinead with this powerful song. I see Sinead and Dolores O'Riordan hand in hand, running through the tall, warm grasses and flowers of summer in their native homeland Ireland, singing out to the sun.... God bless you women. Rest in Peace.
Thinking of her on what would've been her birthday... RIP.🖤
Unglaubliche Stimme, außergewöhnliche Ausstrahlung. Ich bin immer nahe an den Tränen. RIP Sinéad.
Such a powerful pure soul. She was fearless and suffered such brutality as a child. The Catholic church has been monstrous. Mankind and its conceit and hunger for power and control in organized religions as well as governments all over. It is never ending.
idiotic statement, the church are pple like you and me, some are sinful
Have you noticed that they love natural disasters so they can go on appeals for money, most of which goes down their pockets.
This song breaks my heart as an Englishman.
And the reason why it does is because it doesn't strike me as a love song from an abused Irish woman to her hard English boyfriend...
...but from the battered Republic of Ireland to the hard United Kingdom. From Sineaed's country to mine.
Our two countries are mostly fond of each other, there's a lot of love between our peoples, but... let's just say that we, the British have fone a fair amount orf bad things to the Irish for many centuries and we, the British, tend to gloss over it or forget it ever happened.
Ther Irish don't forget, they just don;t holf onto their hate (for the most part)
But for us, it's all bygones y'know, in the past and a little too awkward to dwell on. Even though the consequences of all that ecgoes down even to today.
You should hear yourself, mate. It’s no wonder the Irish don’t forget, how can they, the day the English quit being English is when they’ll start forgetting. You still don’t get it, do you?
@@quemades "You should hear yourself, mate. It’s no wonder the Irish don’t forget, how can they, the day the English quit being English is when they’ll start forgetting. You still don’t get it, do you?"
What are English people?
How do English people quit being English?
RIP Sinead. A beautiful soul not afraid to stick to her principles.
or: not afraid to abandon her principles… ?
Why do I cry of joy watching this ? I miss you Sinead
a genuine tragedy that we could not enjoy this beautiful talent for a bit longer
Sure as hell no autotune or lip syncing in her performances. True artist.
Rest in power, Sinead.
Thank you so much,Sinead. Be your soul in Peace. Long live and peace to Ireland !
As a long time fan, when I come back to listen to these after a while away, her amount of talent still astounds me.
I was listening to this on my way to work this morning thinking about how much I would like to cover it. What a strange way this day ended, forever unfortunately for this beautiful soul. RIP Sinead.
I think flooding the world with Sinéad O'Conner covers would be an amazing gift.
The One and Only Sinead O'Connor...Respect from Tanzania 🇹🇿
Her voice was the most pure I think I’ve ever heard. Incredible talent. RIP beautiful legend.
Opera singers is just the trained puppets. This is the real passion.
What a voice. What a spirit. What a human being. What a loss.
It's hard to not get emotional watching this every time I come back. One of the most powerful performances I've ever seen.
This brought tears to my eyes. The way she inhabits every song she sings…
Sinead was a very gifted and yet troubled person who cared for people. Like anyone of us.
i’m so baked and this performance is just the best thing in human history
Ditto 😄
Me too man
Beautiful beyond words. Sinead O’Connor is just magnificent. So much respect for her. I hope Ireland holds her as a national treasure. What an essentially important artist in our history. 💜
Rest in Peace Sinead O'Connor...Respect from Tanzania 🇹🇿
A legend never dies
This is the most beautifully sung song I have ever heard. My eyes are filled with tears. She is so talented and a beautiful soul. Thank you sinead. 💕
Beautiful,hermosa,wow,I'm moved Ellen
She's got such a beautiful voice. I love hearing Sinead sing Danny Boy
I'm in the mood for Danny boy song,I try it now,please.
Thank you.
Is there a link,youtube I shall try,A...
@@peterward8630 youtube...just put in sinead O'connor - This is not a rebel song
This is exactly how I remember Sinead. In 1993 I was fortunate enough to be in her class at The Bel Canto School of Music In Dublin. Although she was a huge global artist, in there Sinead was just... Sinead. One of the most beautiful souls you could ever hope to meet on this earth.
She's still the same beautiful soul
Wow ..u are so lucky
Im from Serbia I love Irland.
@Patrick Joseph O Reilly What makes you say this ? Unless you know her personnaly
@Patrick Joseph O Reilly no she is not actually
Sad news tonight just got word Sinead has passed away. RIP Sinead you will never be forgotten.
I am an English man. I will say sorry for what my for Father's did to your nation. I will also say. I love the nation of Ireland
forefathers
born in England perhaps but w/ the surname 'Campbell', sounds Scottish to me m8!
@@whocares8915 well another text warrior. Who doesn't know shit from shinola. The wrong to the people of ireland is glairing in history and i would rather add my little bit towards peace
@@whocares8915 it is possible to respect achievements and recognise ills, life isn't black and white
Good for you mister Jim Cambell, I do understand your point of you, but be aware that you are not responsible for your father's "duty", irish people have suffered a great deal, and it's still going on, differently, certainly, but it is still there, tensions between two communities. I , for my part, would like to see the whole of Ireland reunited, that's my wish. I've lived long enough in Northern Ireland to have known what life looks like over there, I can never forget, nor forgive the massacres perpetrated on innocent people who were just eager to simply live decently. My only hope is to see Irish people live freely, on their own land, carry on speaking irish gaelic which is originally their language and keep their own culture. Perhaps, one day battles will be over, but I have doubts...
Still one of the most beautiful performances I've ever heard. Thanks Sinead.
Just beautiful. Takes me right back to my teen years. I had a huge crush on Sinead. Never forgotten.
it seems to me this song is about our shared English/Irish history. Travelling in Ireland you become aware of much real affection for England, people you meet like to tell you about happy times they spent in England and family who live there. But we English don’t really understand this or reciprocate. We never say we love you….
OMG. She was a treasure. This is amazing.
I wish you find the peace you couldn't find in life. Thank you very much for your light.
Great song and singer.20 years ahead of her time.
Ireland’s greatest ever female singer. I put her in the top ten female singers in the world at her peak. Her song “Troy” is devastating
nearly as good as Samantha Mumba
That's a very powerful song, I cried first time I heard it
Love you Sinead R.I.P. sinead
I like her when she's angry, but I love her when she's kind. Beautiful song!
Maybe do not seek to reduce her. She is always kind. A little louder when her or her children's needs are neglected by others. Survival, protection frustration maybe , obviously understandably .
Understanding, not judging. Pls try, for her, others... and yourself xx
I have listened to this breathtaking song many, many times. It is one of my all-time favourite Sinéad songs and I just can’t get enough of it. I will never tire of hearing her voice. I hope she has now found the peace she longed for. You were so loved, Sinéad x
❤️
Makes me proud to be Irish. RIP Sinead. X
Goosebumps every time I hear this song. The raw emotion combined with her angelic voice ...
Your music has been a comfort during the tormenting bouts of insanity and your life was an inspiration which I always strove to imitate during my brief moments of lucidity.
My heart is beyond broken! You paid your dues and the whole world owes you! The world lost its fiercest warrior today. More a man than any man, a great brother in time of need, and a mother/father of the church that was most sorely needed. Thank you for tearing down Popes that needed to be, and thank you for not bowing before any king!
I love you S.O.!
The British hated the Irish because they wouldn't cow tow to their British Ways ..
Erin Go Bragh lives Forever and we are so Proud of being Irish like Sinead.
🇮🇪
Pure voice pure talent, pure heart ❤️
Love this song.
If Tracy Chapman takes my soul to the gates of Paradise then Sinead will keep me there eternally, hey bar tender give me another drink and turn the volume up...
Yup!
a truly great artist,who the world has let down.may god forgive us.
