The prophetic song of her life is Marxman - ship ahoy. The chorus is - don’t let my children die, sung by Sinead. It was created by Osin Lunny in 1992. 12 years later she had a son, Shane, with Osin’s Dad Donal. 17 years later Shane died, after piss poor care mental health care. Sinead died less than a year later. React to the Marxman video - all music by Shane’s half brother. Love your reactions ❤️👍🏽👍☘️
Don't get me wrong, I loved your reaction but please read up on the history of Irish independence. This song covers the topic of the Easter Rising of 1916 where Irish volunteers took control of strategic locations in and around Dublin and successfully fought off British forces for an entire week. It eventually failed after hundreds of deaths and the ringleaders were executed by firing squad without trial. The rebellion failed but it and the many reprisals and executions that followed popularised the idea of an Irish republic that would later come to a head with the Irish war for independence (1919-1921). England and the English may not remember it but it is a point of pride amongst the Irish and to belittle the music that came out of it to just 'old-timey Celtic music' can be taken as rather insulting. One thing that Sinead was known for was her ability to sing truly from the heart and about serious topics in a beautiful way.
Have only just seen this comment... Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and for the added context, too! It's always great to know about the music I am asked to react to... and I do rely on wider context from those watching (I really appreciate that kind of engagement), and as you can imagine, there are so many to get through! So my reactions are always taken initially by the sound of what I'm hearing... which is why I totally commended Sinead in being able to make me feel anything from a song I've never heard before and why the majority of comments are about that feeling. But absolutely, the history behind the song is so critical, so thank you for pointing me in that direction! I appreciate you! ❤❤
Man, go easy - been here 27 years - 97% of English know less about their history than we do, let alone ours - realised early days that I’d need to be a great history teacher to students with no interest - I gave up And even we don’t agree on much post Derry Bloody Sunday.
Sorry bro, you need to pay attention to the lyrics... as amazing as Sinead is, the lyrics of this song are more so. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dilís. Tá tú i gcónai i mo chroi

Sinéad can sing every genre and can take her audience and listener whatever she's telling in her songs.
This is not just a song. It's a story 🙌🇮🇪

There is a huge problem with the English education system where they don’t teach their own history about their oldest colony, Ireland

@@Room2703Reactsmate, don’t worry - we base a lot of our identity on our history - most don’t.
RIP SINEAD
