@@setonhillstudios for sure, Prince talked about this song like Trent Reznor did about Johnny Cash singing hurt. It was no longer their song the covers made it their own.
I'm Irish - Sinéad was a master of 'Keening' ☘it stretches deep into our cultural heritage; it stems from loss/funerals/grieving We are still mourning our beautiful Daughter Sinéad💔She was a force of nature with unmatched talent, but she was also very fragile. The video was shot in one take and those tears are REAL - her mother had just recently died. (Sinéad had a very difficult relationship with her mother.) Please react to her live acapella performance of 'I Am Stretched On Your Grave' - a 17th-century Irish poem that she transformed with just her voice and a James Brown 'beat box' sample; She was keening for our Country & it is pure perfection. The media and music industry cruelly shunned her for speaking THE TRUTH about the catholic abuse of innocent Irish children, including herself & she was eventually proven CORRECT - now an acknowledged fact globally. But the damage was already done to her and her career. I hope they're proud of their relentless victim shaming of a 23 year old girl who was brave enough to speak out. I hope that she's finally at peace with her beloved son, Shane💚"Suaimhneas síoraí dá hanam"
I've never seen you so totally blown away. I love how her voice gets a sharp edge once in a while and then goes back to soft and vulnerable. And can we just stop for a minute and admire how exquisitely beautiful she is?
That really is the strength of the video -- her beauty -- expressed in a multitude of ways, and I don't think she ever realized how pretty she truly was
From what I understood, Prince wrote this song about his housekeeper, whom he had a lot of respect for, but she had to leave. Sinead heard this song, and dedicated it to her mom, who was abusive towards her.
Prince wrote this for one of his side projects. But Sinead took it to another level. She also did a reggae version of Prince's I Would Die 4 U... check it out!
Sinead a native of Dublin Ireland left us July 2023 from natural causes including pulmonary disease & asthma. That inflection is classic of Irish singers
I remember having this cassette cranked up in my car back in the late 80's, Iove that it is being rediscovered now. Thank you for reacting to this. She was a force.
Her beautiful face, her powerful voice, the rawness of each word, filled with such heart and sincerity. She was an incredible artist. One of a kind. You are loved and missed Sinead O'Connor 💜
Anothing stunning voice. She was fantastic. And the imagery is equally stunning. I think people are beginning to understand why we oldies prefer the old stuff. . Unique voices, with real feelings.
Another great reaction. Sinand is beautiful and put a lot of emotion in this song . However it bares mentioning Prince and Connor didn't get along . Rosie Gaines and Prince do a duet of NC2U . They take it to another level. #peaceandstaywild
Nothing Compares To You was a N01 hit in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and also in 18 other countries worldwide, and was one of the best selling songs of the 90s , it was also named the N01 world single, the song was written by PRINCE, but Sinead owned the song,it was nominated for 3 Grammy Awards,Sinead passed away on the 9th January 2024 aged 56 years old, great song great reaction thanks 🙏
So, glad to see you react this way. She was an incredible phenomenon. Her voice carried her and so many who took a moment to listen. She was absolutely beautiful, as well. Prince wrote this song & she gave it pure grace. RIP to both of those beautiful wonders.
Sinead did a beautiful job singing this song. Prince wrote this song and in the early’90’s re-recorded it as a duet with his NPG band mate Rosie Gaines. Prince and Rosie’s version is my favorite and a must listen.
This song was written and originally recorded by Prince. IMHO Sinead di it much better! Thanks for this. I agree , the way it's shot it's as if she is singing directly to the person watching.
Yes Sinead O'connor was a BEAUTIFUL singer and an AMAZING person. UNFORTUNATELY we lost Sinead O'connor when she passed away at the age of 56 .TRULY missed ❤🎵😢👍
I don't know which was more beautiful and expressive, her voice or her eyes, but together they created one of the most moving experiences in music history. RIP beautiful lady✌❤
Sinead was told by Marketing People that she needed to 'change' her Colour/ Style of Hair. So She shaved it off and went on to do it alone. RESPECT ❤ 🎶🎶
U should check out the live version. This iconic singer they tried to boycott her so she wouldn’t succeed. She had way more talent than a Madonna or a Cher but didn’t follow the ‘rules’. She ripped the popes picture her mother had hanging in their living room on the SNL show. She refused to dress half naked and let her hair grow long. She even fought Prince when she visited him at home when he tried to tell her how to behave on Tv. She ran away from his house in the middle of the night after he tried to abuse her physically. Police found her walking along the highway. So many stories and hardship in life. Mother abusive died young, her son passed away suicide just a 2 years ago before she passed away. Etc may she rest in peace, she found peace I hope in her last years through religion, Islam.
This is from her second album and really made her an international superstar (which she really couldn't handle). Her first album emerged on college radio in the late 80s. There are some amazing vocal performances on both albums. Try Troy from the first (The Lion and the Cobra).
G'day mate Its definitely a song about pain and heart break Whats more she conveys it not only by voice but visually The music enhances her voice beautifully With the strings at certain times Then you hear like choir backing sound coming going Also the other instruments comimng going so nothing over done You can see living the pain of the lyrics from personal experiences It so relatable to anyone who had a relationship that broken up Without agreeing to the seperation so carry the pain within them Another female singer who's voice is as haunting beautiful is Karen carpenter She also plays drums while singing as drums was her passion But was pulled out from behind the drums to sing and all natural talent You can see her glow everytime she got to play them Her voice effects almost everyone who hears it and been referred to as angel singing Yet she didn't think a great singer These two would be two female's that effects people with voice and emotions Its the intimacy they create with their eye's and voices Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍
So well put: you can feel every word she is singing, it's piercing your heart. On the contrary, majority of today's music feels just like a bunch of noise, no feeling, no meaning, no emotion. And the only thing it's piercing, is my poor eardrums. And don't get me started on the visual aspect of it. Thank you for your beautiful reaction!
Dia dhuit as Éireann ☘️ hello from Ireland. So proud of Sinéad . Check out her Sean nós nua album of old Irish songs . Also her songs Thief of your heart , Troy , No Mans Woman , Haunted By the ghost , so many to mention . Just explore and enjoy the beautiful brave artist she was .
Sinead has so many emotional songs. She made this song written by Prince her own that is for sure. His version is so different, you should check his out.
This could apply to many different scenarios. But I can tell you I lost my partner of 37 years to cancer last year, and this song seemed to capture exactly what I was feeling for most of the year after.
Wow!! First off, I just want to say I am so terribly sorry for your loss! 🙏🏻 I cannot imaging and thank you for having the courage to stop by and share! Have a blessed day!
This song, written by prince, was first done by the group The Family and was then done by Sinead, there is a live version on youtube by Prince. U should check out the prince version then compare both verions
To both O'Conner, and 'The performer formerly known as Prince'. "Let light perpetual shine upon them, Lord, with your saints for ever, for you are holy" as the Romans still say.
Dude you totally glitched at the end there! ❤❤❤ Love her! Especially her first three albums. When I was in university in the late 80s and early 90s I had a long commute and listened to her stuff a lot ❤ Jewel and The Indigo Girls are two other bands I loved starting in college.
The studio part of the video was, I believe, done in one take. Also, the tear was genuine. As has been mentioned previously, the live version is insane and Sinéad takes the song to a whole different level. Another amazing Irish singer who is sadly no longer with us is Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries. Give Zombie a listen to sometime.
I checked some of your videos and it strikes me how unique you must be to have dodged all these super hits through the years haha. And, also, very blessed to get to experience these songs for the first time. I still remember the first time I heard this song actually, and it stayed with me for the whole day, walking in the autumn rain to and from school.
As mentioned, Prince wrote this song but Sinead wrote most of her own material. She is Irish and her first album "The Lion and The Cobra" was a real jolt to the new wave music popular at the time. Nice reaction.
Steve, love it as ever, this was about the difficult relationship she had with her mother and how it bit her after she passed away. Although composed by Prince in another style and thought process, check out Chris Cornell's cover it is equally superb.
Such a haunting song. The dynamics in her voice are just so beautiful. The way the video is shot just amplifies all The Feels. Even the 80s sometimes got things right?
That was the most enjoyable and insightful reaction from you brotha’! Think you felt it, nailed it. I was a kid when she emerged on the scene. An emotional spitfire looking to make her mark and she did. This vid held many captivated, as it did you. Very nicely done.
Let's Gooooo! Such a beautiful song written by Prince and he also does his own version 💜 If I'm not mistaken I think her mom just passed away before she made this. Bonnie Tyler's Total eclipse of the heart is a must my friend. Great reaction and Peace out 🙏 ✌️ ☮️
The best songs come from people's hearts. The emotions must be real. Like James Blunt's 'Monsters' or even Johnny Cash's 'Hurt'. You've probably heard them.
If you want to hear how fantastic her voice really is check out her doing The Foggy Dew with The Chieftains live, I knew she was excellent but listening to that was a real eye opener on how good she really was
I'm going to sound old (I am), but today's musicians should be forced to watched this to learn how to put emotion into their music. This is how it's done.
Prince wrote this as a tribute to his long term maid who moved back to Puerto Rico to look after her parents. Sinead made the song famous with her version but i think Chris Cornell's version is the best by far.

This is what happens when two great talents get together. Magic. Both gone too soon.
RIP Sinead RIP Prince.
And RIP Chris Cornell th-cam.com/video/IuUDRU9-HRk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SiriusXM
Yes sad
I've never seen you so totally blown away. I love how her voice gets a sharp edge once in a while and then goes back to soft and vulnerable. And can we just stop for a minute and admire how exquisitely beautiful she is?

@MoMoMyPup10 yes... in a multitude of ways
Her beauty here reminds me of Audrey Hepburn
Chris Cornell also did a cover of this. Very different, of course, but also excellent.
Fabulous song and singer
Prince wrote this sing and she showcased it the best
You have to do the live version. Also her story is amazing and tragic, we didnt deserve her.
Written by Prince in 1985, Sinéad's version became a No. 1 hit around the globe. What an unforgettable gift!
Song written by Prince while filming the video, she was thinking about her mother who she recently lost. This the emotion.
Unless her mom was a dude, she was just mentioned briefly.
The tears were real. Recorded shortly after her mother death When this video was played for the first time in the UK people were stunned.
From what I understood, Prince wrote this song about his housekeeper, whom he had a lot of respect for, but she had to leave. Sinead heard this song, and dedicated it to her mom, who was abusive towards her.
Prince wrote this for one of his side projects. But Sinead took it to another level. She also did a reggae version of Prince's I Would Die 4 U... check it out!
Such a beautiful song, her voice and emotion really sells it. I loved this back in the day and it’s good to see it still hits now. R.I.P Sinead
Shewee! It definitely hits! ❤️
and yes, I watched your reaction again forgetting I already commented but I enjoy your reactions so will probably do it a few more times. :)
You’re too kind! So glad you are enjoying the channel! ❤️
Sinead a native of Dublin Ireland left us July 2023 from natural causes including pulmonary disease & asthma. That inflection is classic of Irish singers
The live version is extraordinary.
I'm old enough to see all the great vocalists that are gone now... the songbook of my youth has lost so many great musicians / singers. RIP 🙏 🕯 🎶
Yes amazing ❤
I remember having this cassette cranked up in my car back in the late 80's, Iove that it is being rediscovered now. Thank you for reacting to this. She was a force.
Her beautiful face, her powerful voice, the rawness of each word, filled with such heart and sincerity. She was an incredible artist. One of a kind. You are loved and missed Sinead O'Connor 💜
You should listen to her song "Troy". It really encapsulates that visceral emotiveness that you are describing.
RIP Sinead O'connor. While Prince wrote it, this is HER song.
By the way Prince hated her version of
No it's not. Peace
Anothing stunning voice. She was fantastic. And the imagery is equally stunning. I think people are beginning to understand why we oldies prefer the old stuff. . Unique voices, with real feelings.
million percent.
You got her message, it still hits me too. Very honest reaction, I appreciate you!
Thanks so much! ❤️

She passed away on 26th of July 2023 not the 9th of January this year but she was 56 when she passed away like you say.
You should see her do it live in Chile.
There are only a few singers who ever put such sincerity into their performance, but Ms. O'Connor was definitely among them.
So, glad to see you react this way. She was an incredible phenomenon. Her voice carried her and so many who took a moment to listen. She was absolutely beautiful, as well. Prince wrote this song & she gave it pure grace. RIP to both of those beautiful wonders.
Incredible cover of a song originally released by a band called The Family and written by Prince. Chris Cornell does a great cover of this as well.

It may not have been the first take, but the song was recorded in one take, and they double tracked her voice. Beautiful song Beautiful artist
Yeah, your words accurately sum up Sinead's artistry: intense, painful, overwhelming, beautiful.
Her song Goy will ensalulate everything that she;s alll about.
She throw her heart on stage every time she sang. Rest in peace beautiful soul. ❤
When I first heard this song and video, I was with a bunch of Metal heads! We all stopped talking collectively in stunned silence. ❤
Do-yourself a favor and listen to her live version, one of the greatest performances I've ever seen
❤
Yes Sinead O'connor was a BEAUTIFUL singer and an AMAZING person. UNFORTUNATELY we lost Sinead O'connor when she passed away at the age of 56 .TRULY missed ❤🎵😢👍
THANK you for the LIKE to the person WHO liked my comment. 👍❤
One of PRINCE biggest Hits..He wrote it.. Awesome Song.. !! RIP Sinead RIP Prince ,,
When you listen to it again, and you will many times, your heart will feel her pain and passion.
Stunning face and voice!
Perfection is beauty.
Great reaction to the most emotionally moving version of a great song 👍
Every time I see this song on a reactor's channel, I have to stop and listen to it again. And I cry every time. Gets me in the feels, too.
Such a beautiful and emotional song! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! ❤️
My favourite Sinead O'Conner album was her first, The Lion And The Cobra.....so many gems "Troy", "Mandinka", "Just Like You Said It Would Be".
🔥
I'm so glad for you my friend that you have found this BRILLIANT artist ! Sinead will never be forgotten forever and a day ........ :)
Yes, she truly did things her own way.
ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ❤🎶
I don't know which was more beautiful and expressive, her voice or her eyes, but together they created one of the most moving experiences in music history. RIP beautiful lady✌❤

G'day mate
Its definitely a song about pain and heart break
Whats more she conveys it not only by voice but visually
The music enhances her voice beautifully
With the strings at certain times
Then you hear like choir backing sound coming going
Also the other instruments comimng going so nothing over done
You can see living the pain of the lyrics from personal experiences
It so relatable to anyone who had a relationship that broken up
Without agreeing to the seperation so carry the pain within them
Another female singer who's voice is as haunting beautiful is Karen carpenter
She also plays drums while singing as drums was her passion
But was pulled out from behind the drums to sing and all natural talent
You can see her glow everytime she got to play them
Her voice effects almost everyone who hears it and been referred to as angel singing
Yet she didn't think a great singer
These two would be two female's that effects people with voice and emotions
Its the intimacy they create with their eye's and voices
Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍
Beautiful. Everything. The voice, the lirics her face...
So well put: you can feel every word she is singing, it's piercing your heart. On the contrary, majority of today's music feels just like a bunch of noise, no feeling, no meaning, no emotion. And the only thing it's piercing, is my poor eardrums. And don't get me started on the visual aspect of it. Thank you for your beautiful reaction!

To both O'Conner, and 'The performer formerly known as Prince'. "Let light perpetual shine upon them, Lord, with your saints for ever, for you are holy" as the Romans still say.
I'm a long time recovering Catholic, but the old words still work
As someone else has commented, the live version of this is extraordinary. Well that is quite an understatement.
Mandinka!
Another Prince classic.
Also check out Tin Soldiers
Dude you totally glitched at the end there! ❤❤❤
Love her! Especially her first three albums. When I was in university in the late 80s and early 90s I had a long commute and listened to her stuff a lot ❤
Jewel and The Indigo Girls are two other bands I loved starting in college.
Live version of “This is the last day of our acquaintance” and the Live version of this song are a must 😎
The studio part of the video was, I believe, done in one take. Also, the tear was genuine. As has been mentioned previously, the live version is insane and Sinéad takes the song to a whole different level.

It was playing everywhere.

Beauty, and heartache that will haunt you forever. 💔
OH - the VULNERABILITY in HER VOICE - SO, SO GOOD!!! The video just MULTIPLIES IT!! Thanks for the reaction, Steven!!!
Thanks for watching! This was unbelievable!! ❤️
Voice of an angel. So sad when she passed away. 😢💔
The best songs come from people's hearts. The emotions must be real. Like James Blunt's 'Monsters' or even Johnny Cash's 'Hurt'. You've probably heard them.
They are both on the channel and absolutely phenomenal and moving!!! ❤️
Our goosebumps when it came out was like yours now. A friend of mine named her son Troy, because of that song from same album.
Prince. Sinéad. RIP
Ty Stephen...truly. Slainte and RIP my Irish Sister ☘️🙏☘️
Such an incredible and emotional song and performance! ❤️
If you want to hear how fantastic her voice really is check out her doing The Foggy Dew with The Chieftains live, I knew she was excellent but listening to that was a real eye opener on how good she really was
RIP sinead
The tear gets me everytime. I love her voice but the saddest song I've ever heard in my lifetime is "Sam Stone" by John Prine.
Yupp stil a tear!
I'm going to sound old (I am), but today's musicians should be forced to watched this to learn how to put emotion into their music. This is how it's done.
Prince wrote this as a tribute to his long term maid who moved back to Puerto Rico to look after her parents. Sinead made the song famous with her version but i think Chris Cornell's version is the best by far.
Very moving
RIP her and him
