I've always felt that this song is a metaphor for the end of one's life. It is the gentlest expression of a peaceful and love-filled passing as I've ever known. Sinead's delivery is beautiful.
It is and it isn't, it's definitely a song that changes meaning depending on who's singing it and how it's sung. Which I think is kinda beautiful. It was originally written at a traditional Scottish parting song (like Auld Lang Syne,) people would sing it at the end of parties or gatherings with friends. A parting cup is essentially a drink for the road given to people leaving a gathering.
@@ako1439 Have you listened to Freddie White version? My favorite personally.... but eh,each to his own. Cheers!..."Good night and joy be with you all"
My mum loves her so much, and I can't listen to this without breaking down because of how much Sinéad reminds me of my mum. They had such similar stories and similar personalities, Sinéad's death scares me souch for how many people are struggling now. May you rest in happiness Sinéad, god knows you fucking deserve it
Lovely Sinaed, the golden throated songbird, we love you that for all your suffering, you still shine a guiding light before us. Do not be ashamed of your beauty. God gave it to you and told us all not to hide our light under a bushel. God's gifts are her compensation to us for suffering in this life. When you get to heaven and remove your earthly form, your spirit will shine forth in it's golden glory, for all your suffering has only added a patina that shall be spotless in heaven.
I've long been obsessed with this song. I listen to this song is perfect when I'm happy or sad. I just love how this song is both sobbering and uplifting. Full of saddness, regret, and loss, while simultaneously being hopeful, and uplifting. This is the first time I've heard her sing it and, as expected, she does a phenomenal job with her beautiful voice.
Sinéad O'Connor presente hoje e sempre minha Diva. Vou te ouvir e amar sempre minha cantora favorita. Será sempre lembrada pelas tuas músicas que ficou pra marcar. Está fazendo falta para nós,mas está em paz com seu menino e na proteção de Deus. Lenda...❤
God her voice is divine. What control. I am a fan 30 years later again.:) What is most amazing is her pacing. This is a song of a life lived well, not in search of money, fame or glory, recognizing your friends and foibles. There are very many great write-ups to the origin of the song and it's meanings for me throw in my two pennies worth.
If this is a traditional Scots/Irish song, we know where Bob Dylan got most of the lyrics and structure for his "Restless Farewell" in 1963. He was a huge fan of traditional Celtic songs, and probably still is.
To me, this tune speaks to the bonds of friendship, the limitations of being human and the great revelations of being human. To a life well spent and a life worth living. To my Celtic sisters and brothers out there, joy to you all and may we be in the same Pub to share a parting glass. Slainte!
Song makes me think of everyone who emigrated across the Atlantic from the British Isles to places like Nova Scotia, New England, Baltimore, New York Pittsburgh, Appalachia and places beyond, never to return home.
🇮🇪 👀👄 Wow! This version is a fav of mine 💚 Sinéad girl you are truly gifted, such a beauitful and powerful voice. much love from the old 🇮(the pie) "Dundrum / Holylands Knacker Drinking Gang". 🎙🍺 💚🎵🇮🇪
Ive been listening to this singing by Sinead O'connor since the outbreak of the Wuhan virus pandemic. A soothing, beautiful resort to ease my sufferings during this time of troubles. Love you all from Indonesia.❤️❤️❤️🙏
"Oh, I've heard this song a 100 different ways I'm sure it won't phase me" I said Four seconds into it I'm typing this with tears streaming down my face, Sinnead you did it again.
My wonderful BF use to sing this to me when I would come home from Cedars Hosp. After re-check she would sing this song. This year she had a blood clot and spent 4 months in the hospital. She will never be BF that I knew and is not doing well, I send this song to her. I love her she is such a beautiful person.
After suffering through Ed Sheran’s butchery of this traditional ode, I was so happy to find this gorgeous 100% beautiful version by the lovely Sinead. Even the instrumental introduction is a delight, and sets the tone of a happy parting, rather than a sad dirge. 🌹🇦🇺🌹
Photo looks very much like the view down Loch Carron to Strathcarron in Scotland, near Strome Ferry. I have a photo from the very spot. Great song, probably more meaningful then "Auld Lang Syne."
If only Sinead would stick to the singing. She has a beautiful singing voice This song really suits her voice. Her rendition is one of the best I ever heard.
***** of course it is I NEVER AGREED WITH HER POLITICS BUT WOULD SAY SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS THE LAST AND THIS CENTURY HAS SEEN HER CONTROL IS AMAZING SKY BUCK IS OBVIOUSLY ISHAN SHUSKA AND THEY BELIEVE THEY ARE GODS REPS ON EARTH THEY ARE JUST USUALLY LATE TO THE FIGHT OR CAN ONLY SPOUT ON THE WEB AS UR A LADY I WILL NOT TRANSLATE MY COMMENT TO HIM IT IS GLASWEGIAN AND A LITTLE COARSE
Funny, it's the only things that stops my tears...I'll have it at my wake. In the meantime, I sing it over and over again as those I love leave this land for the upper reaches of the heavens ~ in joy I sing my thanks for them...
My favourite version of this song by far. Thank you! (At 2:30 I think Sinéad sings "...in thrall", not "enthralled", and at 3:49 I think she sings "... and yous should not", not "...you should not". Please note the specific historical Irish connotation of being 'in thrall', and also the charming Irish manner of addressing a group of people before a person, 'yous'. In British English we only have the somewhat clumsy "you all". In US English there is "y'all" or 'yall', which is also quite charming.)
+Sophisticated Dinosaur What does 'mostly Irish' mean? If you were born in Ireland, you're Irish. If you were born in America, you're American. Simple. :-)
Chris Standford Not really, if Your parents are chinese and you're born in america you're still chinese, it's not a thing about nationality it's about racial and biological make-up. People from different areas of the world will look different and nobody in america is originally "from" america other than the native americans who are a minority here.
Okay. I'm Irish (born & raised here) but the original Irish 'race' came from the Iberian penninsula, so does that mean I'm Spanish? My mother's ancestors were Viking. Does that mean I'm Scandanavian. I'm sure there's some Celtic blood in there too. They came from the Germanic tribes and eastern Europe. Am I German? Polish? Hmmm, confused now. ;)
RIP Irish voice of an angel 🙏
RIP GOD BLESS YOU ❤❤❤
Still can’t come to grips with the fact she’s gone. Never will we have another like her. May you have peace at last.
Can't listen to any other version, Sinead owns this song now.
Никак не удивительно, что именно такой человек именно так эту песню и исполнил.
Надеюсь её душа нашла успокоение.
RIP to one of the most beautiful voices ever
May you now have the peace you have never experienced in your life, Sinéad. May the earth be light on you.

Beautiful song. Beautiful singer. Wishing you peace Sinead
Sing with the angels now Sinead and teach them how to do it!
Rest in Peace Sinead one of Ireland's favourite singers
Goodnight Sinead. Though it be much too early, may you rest in peace.
Goodnight and joy be to you Sinéad 💔😥
Rest in peace Sinead ❤ Goodnight and joy be to you
What a wonderful singer may she rest in peace 🙏 R.I.P
I sincerely think this is the best version of this song. Sinead you sing so well on this. I love this album
this song is just divine. what's the name of this album?
@@ThereIExtendedIt it’s called Sean-Nos Nua - album of Irish standards
Agreed. Divine. Alina gingertail on YT is beautiful too. Glad to put you onto a great Russian folk musician. (From a bogger in Galway.)

Good night, sweet Sinéad. RIP 😢❤💔
Rest in power, you singular talent.

Hal Barbour is Barbour an Irish surname? I always wondered of its origin. It is my surname as well 😊
Me and my friends sing this song together whenever we have our last drink together before splitting up for the year. All 3 of us have Irish ancestry.
Rest In Peace, you beautiful soul x
Rest in Peace “Timmy Dean Flaherty” lost but never forgotten see you in paradise tiocfaidh ár lá 🇮🇪💚

One of the greatest voices of all time...thankyou Sinead!
god I love her voice! Peace and happiness Sinead
She was so fone. Will be missed sorely.

Fantastic version of this great song Sinéad
The best version i‘ve ever heard
th-cam.com/video/pbw-_y4YQpM/w-d-xo.html
Love her. But Liam Clancy did it best.
Good, but try Freddy White's version is out on it's own IMHO.
Great version, best i have heard. And being Irish I've heard quite a few versions
I keep coming back to this beautiful version. Her timing and control are both perfect.
Indeed sir, and I as well.

Piękna piosenka. Dziękuję i serdecznie pozdrawiam z upalnej Polski.

One of the very few unique voices out there.
Fantastic song very moving Sinéad's voice is perfect🙏🍀
Who’s here after listening to Boygenius’ version?
Yooo❤
i love her interpretation from this song
This is the best version of this song i have ever heard
+Kory St. Aoro Ed Sheeran's version is very good...very traditional, a cappela version
+Kory St. Aoro have you heard wailin jennys?
GabrielTheGuitarist
yes but this version is to me still better
+Kory St. Aoro I like this version too, but I think I prefer The Pogues version just slightly more, there both awesome..
Got say Liam (?) Clancy's version is a belter, search you tube, there's a video of his family all singing this at his graveside very moving
I have to say sinead oconnor is super under rated
My wonderful BF use to sing this to me when I would come home from Cedars Hosp. After re-check she would sing this song. This year she had a blood clot and spent 4 months in the hospital.

A classic and wonderful song!
My favourite version of this song by far. Thank you!

Stunning ...
WHY WAS I BORN IN ITALY?
I do wish I was Irish, I'm just in ove with Ireland and its people and culture
Alice Martinelli Maybe you were in another life
Alice Martinelli Even worse, being mostly irish and born in america. People always telling me i'm american and not really irish.
