Rest in Peace Sinead, your music and your story will endure forever. You have been an inspiration to me and to countless other people around the globe....
I think the best thing people can do is check up on each other. Reach out to those friends you avoid because you don't know what to say or how to react when they are hurting. Ask them how you can help them. Bring them coffee and cigarettes. Ask them if they need a hug. Make them laugh..
Sinead is my ALL TIME FAVORITE female vocalist ever!!! My heart is so very tragically broken by how she suffered so in her last days and how she was taken from all of us. She was a singular talent. She didn't just have an incredible command over her voice and use it in so many creative and distinctive ways, but she spoke what she believed, bared her soul and did the best she could to live a regular life. There was little pretense with her unlike so many other musicians. I read about it all over the internet. When I hear her sing traditional Irish songs, it stirs the depths of my soul as I have Irish ancestry. Nothing compares to her!!!
Why is it that every time I listen to a song by Sinead O'connor, I can't hold back the tears?... She was and continues to be a force of nature... the heart, soul and spirit of Ireland... In my heart, I believe she is FINALLY at rest and peace in the hands of God... pure unselfish love... What a gift from God to all of us... So grateful for her life and legacy !!!! (So choked up right now... I need to go outside just to breathe...)
I'm cryinh now, ironically after watching her sing "The Wolf is Getting Married" on Graham Norton. Best of her live performances...or right up there. This grief is definitely getting worse as-the months wear on and the shock off. Reading comments of strangers who share these emotions is about the only balm for it.
1:53 "I'm the only one I should adore" - this hits deep - just one of so many things I learned from Sinead. I hope you know how much we loved you Sinead 💗
I have this exact lyric as a tattoo. I put it inside a circle that says "thank you for hearing me." I went through the darkest time of my life last May and it was Sinead's music that got me through it.
Every time I hear “I’ve done so many bad things it hurts” I crack. The honesty in it makes my stomach squeeze. I want to embrace myself as much as she does herself. It’s all so beautiful. Embracing all of herself. The good and the bad. Incredibly inspiring
Yeah, all the bad things I've done don't compare to the shame felt from of child abuse. It's what led me (and many others) to do bad things. Yet somehow to embrace all of it is healing. Powerful song.
Sinead's sometimes brutal honesty has been a major talking point among her critics, but honestly, as a fan, I find it refreshing. The burden is so much easier when you know you're not the only one bearing it. I am so grateful for this lady's life and art!
Did the world even know this woman existed?!? Now we've lost her, and here she was, this powerhouse hid right in front of us, eclipsed by shadows and bad media....
Upon my recent first hearing her & Willie Nelson's cover of Peter Gabriel/Kate Bush's "Don't Give Up", after Willie's usual "speaking" singing of the first verse, when Sinead started to sing, I felt (like in ALL she sang!) the raw emotion/pure energy hit me like a thunderbolt! It moved me so much that I immediately began to sob and, after only a few seconds, had to stop playing it as it was simply overwhelming! THAT was the genius that was Sinead O'Connor, and that shall forever be her legacy!! xoxo
She clearly was struggling so much with her past and faith, they haunted her until the very end. You can notice like so many abused Irish Catholic women, she tried many times to repair her life and take console in Christianity, but no one was helping her, that she totally went 180 and converted to Islam. This song should punch every church in the world! LOVE! STOP HATE! STOP HURTING PEOPLE! RIP SINEAD!
'I'm the only one I should adore'. You wish she could have just believed that lyric. I feel this performance shows her at her very best and really sums up her spirit. What a wonderful, strong, inspiring, warm, funny and troubled soul. I sincerely hope she has found her peace. And perhaps she's somewhere duetting 'All Kinds of Everything' with Terry Hall.
I've been listening to this song lately and can't stop. So much energy in this song. I'm still in shock that you're not with us, Sinead It is unbearably painful to realize this. Rest in peace.🥀🥀🥀💔💔💔
I literally broke down crying when she ripped off the wig. What a strong, brave, relevant, beautiful, intelligent human we are watching. Wonderful song, wonderful video. Thank you to all involved.
I did too, Chris!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. My beautiful Sister Sinead, back in form like never before. And looking so beautiful. No other artist fills my heart with as much love, joy, and gratitude.
Incredible video. It's like a rebirth. She was vital in this one. Rest in peace and in love, dear Sinead. You gave your all. Your truth and your secrets. I don't know what comes after this life, I just hope you are at peace with your boy.
I like to think if this was released in the 90s it would have gotten the recognition it deserves... but then she needed to live her whole life in order to write such a beautiful song.
Rest in peace Sinéad, one of the most beautiful voices to ever grace humanity, I found out about her through massive attack's 100th window and I fell in love ever since
07.26.24 It's been one year since you've left our earthly plane, dear Sinéad. Thank you for being you. Thank you so much for your voice. Love you, lady.
I cry every time I listen to Sinead sing. I cry even more every time I listen to this song. My daughter is gonna sing this and become a star. RIP Sinead...you voiced your hurt to help us all...and they vilified you for it...I thank you for it.
Discovering Sinead's music after loving her in high school 1988, first three albums I've always played. And there is SO MUCH MORE. Listening to her myriad interviews throughout these years, reading her book. Missing her artistry and she was just a very incredible, smart, loving, and fascinating human being.
I'll be honest. I'm a few years older than Sinead but I love Irish singers, being Irish myself. The only two songs I'd heard her sing were Nothing Compares 2 U and Sacrifice. I loved this voice. Then October 3, 1992 she turned the world on it's axis and the stations I was listening to just stopped cold dead playing her. Other than seeing an occasional eye popping headline (she was entertaining) I had no idea she was suffering so, I wish that I had paid closer attention. I had no idea that she had other music. I also had no idea the way New York treated this young petite 25 year old, female visitor to our country when she left the studio that night by pelting her with eggs. An abuse survivor literally being assaulted without bothering to understand what her motivation was. The excuse might be well we didn't know, but that would've rung hollow. So I heard this song 3 days ago and I cannot help but feel like America robbed her and itself of her incredible and honest view of the world. I think she was really underrated and undervalued. This song though, was so strong and she was so strong and f beautiful. I can't help but remember that icon of Catholic virtue Madonna saying she looked like she had a run-in with a lawnmower and had the sex appeal of a venetian blind. Madonna was never attractive on any level and Sinead looked great with or without hair. I will be spending the coming days trying to acquire or listen to everything and anything I can. But in the end, we lost her. Ireland lost her. And I am just sadder than I thought I could ever possibly be over the last 30 years for her. I certainly never thought she'd beat me off this rock.
I am a few years younger than Sinead and have been a fan since I've known her voice, actually the ripping up of the Pope's picture impressed me almost more than her music, as I was leaving the Catholic curch around the same time myself. I had aquired a few of her CD's during the last years. "Universal Mother" being on of my favourites, but never got around to get "I'm Not Bossy. I'm the Boss" or "What About I be Me (And You be You)?" although just the title of these CDs impressed me very much. Had lost a bit of track of her as I'd spent much time in South America during the last 30 years and there's so much great music over there as well. I now deeply regret never have been able to see her live (though I do own a copy of her live DVD "The Value of Ignorance / The year of the Horse", which I've watched numerous times). Since she died I've been down the rabbit hole of Sinead's videos on TH-cam and I fell in love with her even more, watching many interviews. The sad truth is, she was mismanaged as well, struggeling financially, was forced to sell her house during the pandemic (which might have also triggered her son to commit suicide, who knows?) and I feel ashamed now, that I didn't know, I feel guilty for not having bought the CDs or contributed to her income more. If I'd only have known. She would have needed a good person by her side during her life to stick by her side and help her emotionally as well as managing her in a way that she would not have to bother about money at this stage of her life. So many people loved her and her music, she gave so much to all of us, why couldn't we give back more to her? We need to watch out for our artists more.
I love her energy in this video. I dont believe in any church but i "get" this song. She's been my fn superhero for 33-34 years. I always wanted to be able to meet her, just to give Sinead a proper hug of complete love..to tell her how inspiring she was for so many girls in their teens back then. I hope now, shes able to really see that from so many of us that always really did understand everything she did.😢
Yep, she reminds me of this verse: "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?" ~Isaiah 58:6
That opening fusion of the Nothing Compares video and Sinead singing those powerful lyrics is genius. I have always loved Nothing Compares to You the song and video for its honesty, the pain and emotion of it.This new track that sounds like a healing process but has real venom in the lyrics about the churches that hurt, it's so full of emotions, just different. She's not going to be hurt by the emotions any more, taking charge, singing her song.
Kim Gloria Sinead is always beautiful, because of who she is. If you're a kind, compassionate person, who cares about other people, you are always beautiful too, Kim Gloria. The weight will come off when you're ready. I'm overweight too, can relate to how you're feeling, but remain mindful that my excess weight does not define me.
A powerful message. This amazing artist has stayed true to her values and has never backed down from anything. The music industry has tried to destroy her without success. Yes, she may not be a top pop performer, but she is a true political activist within her music. I also could not believe this was Sinead at first, but I wanted to cheer when she tore her wig off.
I do not know why with all of her beautiful, powerful, insightful, genuine, modern, poetic far beyond anything on a paper, musical as Iris, she has never been covered by the radio or the mass media. She is like Bob Dylan to me. But far more uncompromising with the music industry. And she will never back down just like Tom Petty.
***** Hey there now! As an American, I get it, I get her; always have, always will. She is the epitomy of what the right thing to do is. I applaud her and thank God every day for the wonder that He has blessed us with in Sinead O'Connor!
I meant American audiences in general. Glad there are other Americans that "get" her like you but "in general" people like Sinead, Allison Moyet, Kylie Minogue have HUGE careers in Europe but America doesn't even recognize what they are doing and the music is far superior to the hits in the states.
Such a loss. Another iconic artist gone,..though never forgotten. Troubled yet talented, honest and beautiful. Thank you Sinead for all you left us with. You will remain in our hearts, music and personality that endures. Peace and happiness in your new world ❤
Incredible, pure, sensitive, wise, fighting and extraordinary human being. The world kept breaking you since you were a child. But you poured your broken heart and soul over your incredible music, and we are so fortunate to keep that forever. Rest In Peace, angel ❤️🩹🙏🏻
I didn’t think this would get me but it did. When she ripped off the wig. There was something so defiant about her, but so strong. She’s the type that makes it into Heaven, not hateful bigots.
THIS ladies & gents is what a true rock legend looks like. Nobody on this planet has a voice like hers..with such emotion and fire...NOBODY! Love you Sinead! =)
Prayers to Sinead who continues to fight more hardships than any human should have to. The death of a child is quite possibly the most devastating thing a human can endure in the universe. May God help you find the peace and strength you need during this troubling time.
@@moehio You're both wrong. She didn't have a problem with Catholicism but rather those within the church who abused their power. She was ordained a priest in a breakaway Catholic branch.
Oh I fell in love with her when I was only 19...this year I'll be 45 and I have always seen her as strong, beautiful and intelligent! She had a deep Knowing always when so many turned a blind eye! I love and respect her for that - until I pass on!!! Thank You, Sinead!!!
I feel the same way you do , I started listening to her when I started 5th or 6th grade. Hardcore fan of hers forever. I'm really hoping for another tour, I've never seen her live and I want to so badly.
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.!
why.... why did you go eh? so many of us sare just like you Sinead, you were a voice for some of us no matter what they did you still spoke , loud enough...... we heard you. we still hear you
6/7/2-24 Here again. This song makes me cry. Religion has wounded so many people. I am trying to hold onto God, but let the religious poison go. I relate to this song on deep levels. RIP Sinead. You were a prophetess and ahead of your years. You spoke so much truth. I hope what came after this hard life is exactly what you deserve, Beautiful Soul.
I heard it yesterday for the first time. She created a fusion between "going to church" and contemporary rythmic music in a way that only a genius could do. My sincere admiration for her.
A very underrated but powerful and spiritual song from Sinead O'Connor. RIP to such a unique, talented, outspoken, brave artist. May you find everlasting peace that you sought for in this mortal plane. Nothing Compares 2 U 😢⚘
Thanks for your strength, Sinead. You're an inspiration for us all! "Take Me To Church" I don't wanna love the way I loved before I don't wanna love that way no more What have I been writing love songs for? I don't want to write them anymore I don't wanna sing from where I sang before I don't wanna sing that way no more What've I've been singing love songs for? I don't wanna sing them anymore, I don't wanna be that girl no more I don't wanna cry no more I don't wanna die no more So cut me down from this here tree Cut the rope from off of me Sit me on the floor, I'm the only one I should adore Oh, Take me to church, I've done so many bad things it hurts yeah, Take me to church but not the ones that hurt 'Cause that ain't the truth And that's not what it's worth Yeah, take me to church oh, take me to church I've done so many bad things it hurts Yeah, get me to church but not the ones that hurt 'Cause that ain't the truth And that's not what it's worth I'm gonna sing songs of loving and forgiving Songs of eating and of drinking, songs of living, songs of calling in the night 'cause songs are like a bolt of light And love's the only love you should invite Songs of long and spiteful fails songs that don't let you sit still Songs that mend your broken bones and that don't leave you alone So get me down from this here tree, take the rope from off of me sit me on the floor, I'm the only one I should adore! Oh, Take me to church, I've done so many bad things it hurts Yeah take me to church, but not the ones that hurt 'Cause that ain't the truth And that's not what it's worth Yeah, take me to church oh, take me to church I've done so many bad things it hurts Yeah, get me to church, but not the ones that hurt 'Cause that ain't the truth And that's not what it's worth
How I envy people who had a chance to see with their own eyes this great woman with a phenomenally beautiful soul! In my terrible country, she was only once and I did not know about it in advance, I could not come to the capital. Rest in peace, dear Sinead. Nothing compares to you.
I was lucky enough to see Sinead in concert a few times and I can honestly say that she sounded the same live as she does on CD. Best female artist of all time in my opinion. Heartbroken Sinead has gone.
This is a song of strength. Of redemption through introspection and acceptance. It is amazingly profound and revealing. Sine ad bares her sound and her pain to show you there is beauty in hope and self forgiveness. She is an angel. A beautiful soul she shares with us despite the toll it takes on her to be so vulnerable. Thank you Sinead. You are my angel, my sister and my inspiration.
Most powerful and outstanding female artist!! After all these years she still has it! her powerful voice,her beauty. It's still there! GOD Bless Sinead!! I hope she could make it through the hard time, there are many people still cares about her and loving her. she'll make it through.
...love this, this is a great song, great video and she reiterates that important message about churches that hurt...wow, this hits the nail right on the head. No one comes close to delivering a message like Sinead...
Ruddy Nora. Powerful, brutal, honest, bare. Sinead says it as it is, true gem. Beautiful soul inside and out. Cracking track and video. Thanks Sinead and the band.
@wulfgar3000 the Catholic church is full of idolatry; I want to tell you that Jesus Christ loves you and he wants you to be saved; do you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour?
@@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040 Jesus is respected hugely by Muslims too. You cannot be muslim if you dont respect Moses and Jesus. Islam is continuation of Judaism and Christianity.
When I first watched this in my head I was saying "please don't let that be her hair, make it a wig", and when she pulled it off I cheered. I hope I am not the only one, and if I m then so be it,
She looks so beautiful in this video.. she was one of my favorite singers since I started to listen music in my life; back in 1990. In that moment she was so different... that was precisely what attracted me from her. she got me hypnotized with her voice, her rare style ... and her beautiful songs of course!. .. I follow her from her biggest success which everybody already knows very well what hit about is. I'm so happy she's back again.. in specially because she coming for the very first time to my country!.. and of course I'll be there!
No really; I mean I had devotion, admiration; perhaps she impact at the beginning about her look; I really appreciate all of her. I really like her songs. maybe my english didn't explain very well; sorry, but my native language isn't english.
Love this song Sinead and the freedom that is expressed in dance through the young girl. I used to dance like that in worship when I was younger and yes I agree that I only want to go to the church where they do not hurt. May our Heavenly Father pour out upon you His love, mercy, and joy unceasing. You are a most precious vessel in His hands. You are a most beautiful treasure to His heart.
![Sinead O' Connor - 8 Good Reasons [Official Music Video]](/img/n.gif)
Why was this not a massive fucking single? Holy shit… this should have topped the charts globally.
The other song with same title dominated the charts at the time. This one deserved the same You're right.
I just wish this song was longer. It ends too fast❤
I know! This is an amazing song, especially considering her history with Church and church.
💯 agree
Yes
Rest in Peace Sinead, your music and your story will endure forever. You have been an inspiration to me and to countless other people around the globe....
Never to be forgotten. 😢
RIP gorgeous woman.
Can't believe it. Sending Light for her journey. 💜 May she finally know Peace now.
Rest in power, darlin with so many names. You ARE a bolt of light.
AMEN!🙏💜💙

Спасибо Вам за Вашу откровенность, за Ваши прекрасные слова. Я чувствую то же, что и Вы.
oh my gosh, you too! let em flow. She was amazing and we miss her so much.
Never say sorry for who you are. All Personalities are different. She was so beautiful 😢.

So beautifully articulated. Thank you.

Dan jangan putus asa inshallah god will kamu berjaya,saya juga banyak dosa tidak terkira banyaknya tetap tidak putus asa Alhamdulillah
Yes, I'm crying.... We will miss you Sinead. Thank you for everything 💚

Sinead's sometimes brutal honesty has been a major talking point among her critics, but honestly, as a fan, I find it refreshing. The burden is so much easier when you know you're not the only one bearing it.
I am so grateful for this lady's life and art!
She's a Muslim now.
So art I !!!
Exactly!
@@audramacdougall5239so what if she's Muslim? She always loved God, not the people who hurt others in his name
Very wise and appropriate statement. I fully agree.
Did the world even know this woman existed?!? Now we've lost her, and here she was, this powerhouse hid right in front of us, eclipsed by shadows and bad media....
Oh yes - the spiritually truthful world knew her and loved her. The "other" world doesn't matter.
Th USA did her wrong.
@@Armistead_MacSkyewe definitely knew in Ireland. May Sinead and Dolores rest in peace now.
Every time I hear her I cry ,because I’m overwhelmed by her talent,beauty and transparency with her heart ,mind and soul.
Upon my recent first hearing her & Willie Nelson's cover of Peter Gabriel/Kate Bush's "Don't Give Up", after Willie's usual "speaking" singing of the first verse, when Sinead started to sing, I felt (like in ALL she sang!) the raw emotion/pure energy hit me like a thunderbolt!

She needed Counselling
Perfectly said
I'm disappointed with myself that I'm only realising how great Sinéads music is after she has passed. Legend 😢
Same here, got really into The Lion and The Cobra these past few weeks. Wish I would’ve had the chance to see her live
She has so so so many great songs
'I'm the only one I should adore'. You wish she could have just believed that lyric. I feel this performance shows her at her very best and really sums up her spirit. What a wonderful, strong, inspiring, warm, funny and troubled soul. I sincerely hope she has found her peace. And perhaps she's somewhere duetting 'All Kinds of Everything' with Terry Hall.
This is the Sinead I will remember, the one who was healing herself and the world with her music. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un big sister
My favourite of all of Sinéad’s wonderful songs
one of the most important songs ever released in my opinion. still blows me away every single time i hear it and this video is just beyond incredible
Amen !! neo- comunismo o muerte !! Venceremos !!
Ugh me too. So epic. Bless her.
This quickly became my favorite video/song. The imagery and power behind the song itself. Chills every time. RIP Sinead.
Fab
I've been listening to this song lately and can't stop. So much energy in this song. I'm still in shock that you're not with us, Sinead It is unbearably painful to realize this. Rest in peace.🥀🥀🥀💔💔💔

Thanks for your comment, Chris! I responded in the same way, too.
Me too. This is my favorite song from Sinead. I think it saved my life. Not kidding. Music ... it heals.
Nice try, Sinéad!
Mr.Kill-Joy, Do you know why Sinéad shaved her head early in her career?
How have I never heard this? Great song!
She was a rare gem, a real artist. Even her album tracks are better than most of the stuff on radio today.
Incredible video. It's like a rebirth. She was vital in this one. Rest in peace and in love, dear Sinead. You gave your all. Your truth and your secrets. I don't know what comes after this life, I just hope you are at peace with your boy.

Sinead was not made for these times, but she gave us so much. RIP
Troppo tutto

So beautiful. Nobody should say sorry for who they are. Be proud of yourself ❤

It's been one year since you've left our earthly plane, dear Sinéad. Thank you for being you. Thank you so much for your voice. Love you, lady.
Prayed for you in Makka, at the Kaaba 🕋, and in Madina this week. Won’t stop 😊😢
RIP Sinead, thank you for you music, you will be missed 😢
This is one of my all time favourites the lyrics the beat everything she was one In a million and will forever be remembered ❤
I cry every time I listen to Sinead sing.
I cry even more every time I listen to this song.
My daughter is gonna sing this and become a star.

I'm the Boss" or "What About I be Me (And You be You)?" although just the title of these CDs impressed me very much. Had lost a bit of track of her as I'd spent much time in South America during the last 30 years and there's so much great music over there as well. I now deeply regret never have been able to see her live (though I do own a copy of her live DVD "The Value of Ignorance / The year of the Horse", which I've watched numerous times). Since she died I've been down the rabbit hole of Sinead's videos on TH-cam and I fell in love with her even more, watching many interviews. The sad truth is, she was mismanaged as well, struggeling financially, was forced to sell her house during the pandemic (which might have also triggered her son to commit suicide, who knows?) and I feel ashamed now, that I didn't know, I feel guilty for not having bought the CDs or contributed to her income more. If I'd only have known. She would have needed a good person by her side during her life to stick by her side and help her emotionally as well as managing her in a way that she would not have to bother about money at this stage of her life. So many people loved her and her music, she gave so much to all of us, why couldn't we give back more to her? We need to watch out for our artists more.
Спасибо за Ваши слова. Я думаю так же, как и Вы. И тоже раздавлена чувством вины.
@@Гликерия-т4ш What am I supposed to do with this? How stupid
Sinéad ,
I’m sorry to hear
of the loss
of your beloved son
May you find healing
and comfort.
God Bless
Génial merci beaucoup pour la mise en ligne ❤❤
I love her energy in this video. I dont believe in any church but i "get" this song. She's been my fn superhero for 33-34 years. I always wanted to be able to meet her, just to give Sinead a proper hug of complete love..to tell her how inspiring she was for so many girls in their teens back then. I hope now, shes able to really see that from so many of us that always really did understand everything she did.😢
Спасибо за Ваши слова. Я люблю её 33 года, всю сознательую жизнь .
I don't go to church anymore, but I grew up in it, and I remember this feeling - the honesty in this song is profound
Yep, she reminds me of this verse: "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?" ~Isaiah 58:6
Amen.
That opening fusion of the Nothing Compares video and Sinead singing those powerful lyrics is genius. I have always loved Nothing Compares to You the song and video for its honesty, the pain and emotion of it.This new track that sounds like a healing process but has real venom in the lyrics about the churches that hurt, it's so full of emotions, just different. She's not going to be hurt by the emotions any more, taking charge, singing her song.
What a beautiful wonderful woman, lost too soon ❤️
A savage anthemic battle cry of Love. Utterly brilliant.
A terrible beauty!! I love it.
What a woman! Love her, how gorgeous are her legs? I want legs like that.
Amanda Dearing her legs are pretty indeed. Noticed that to

Kim Gloria Sinead is always beautiful, because of who she is. If you're a kind, compassionate person, who cares about other people, you are always beautiful too, Kim Gloria. The weight will come off when you're ready. I'm overweight too, can relate to how you're feeling, but remain mindful that my excess weight does not define me.
Totally agree mate!
A powerful message. This amazing artist has stayed true to her values and has never backed down from anything. The music industry has tried to destroy her without success. Yes, she may not be a top pop performer, but she is a true political activist within her music. I also could not believe this was Sinead at first, but I wanted to cheer when she tore her wig off.
Her voice cannot be replicated, so it's her.
I do not know why with all of her beautiful, powerful, insightful, genuine, modern, poetic far beyond anything on a paper, musical as Iris, she has never been covered by the radio or the mass media. She is like Bob Dylan to me. But far more uncompromising with the music industry. And she will never back down just like Tom Petty.
It is so dumbed down and generic nowadays with all the American Idol B.S., she is simply too eclectic and intelligent for American audiences.
***** Hey there now! As an American, I get it, I get her; always have, always will. She is the epitomy of what the right thing to do is. I applaud her and thank God every day for the wonder that He has blessed us with in Sinead O'Connor!
I meant American audiences in general. Glad there are other Americans that "get" her like you but "in general" people like Sinead, Allison Moyet, Kylie Minogue have HUGE careers in Europe but America doesn't even recognize what they are doing and the music is far superior to the hits in the states.
***** I will have to agree with you on that. I listen to more of the European Musicians more than American. :)
Me too. It's just better in my opinion.
Always my favourite song of hers...the lyrics make me cry..RIP you lovely soul, you have earned your peace🙏💕
This makes me cry so hard. I relate so much to the lyrics. I've been working so hard on changing my life and this inspires me so much.
Rodrigo Rivas you can do it Rodrigo, have faith.
Hugs buddy..I can relate to.this song too and it has an emotional connection
How you doing? Hope you healed yourself since posting that comment 4 years ago 🙏🏼💜
Many things make me proud to be Irish…but sinead makes me the proudest. A true punk renegade…ultimate talent
What a beautiful comment! 💖
Awesome! I love this!
Such a loss. Another iconic artist gone,..though never forgotten. Troubled yet talented, honest and beautiful. Thank you Sinead for all you left us with. You will remain in our hearts, music and personality that endures. Peace and happiness in your new world ❤
Incredible, pure, sensitive, wise, fighting and extraordinary human being. The world kept breaking you since you were a child. But you poured your broken heart and soul over your incredible music, and we are so fortunate to keep that forever. Rest In Peace, angel ❤️🩹🙏🏻
🙌❤✿º°¨¨°⊱♥️º°¨¨°º✿
Спасибо Вам за эти слова ❤❤❤
Late career Sinead was always my favourite - and this song? Her very best. Get some peace now, girl x RIP
Rip
I didn’t think this would get me but it did. When she ripped off the wig. There was something so defiant about her, but so strong. She’s the type that makes it into Heaven, not hateful bigots.
She had the soul of an Irish warrior
THIS ladies & gents is what a true rock legend looks like. Nobody on this planet has a voice like hers..with such emotion and fire...NOBODY!
Love you Sinead! =)
Totally agree. Sinead was the real deal. A true rock star.
Prayers to Sinead who continues to fight more hardships than any human should have to. The death of a child is quite possibly the most devastating thing a human can endure in the universe. May God help you find the peace and strength you need during this troubling time.
❤ well said❤ 🙏
@tristap Incorrect. She has problem with Catholicism, not Christianity. As she should.
RIP Sinéad
@tristap she was never anti-Christian. In order for you to come up with this, you must have anti-Sinead views
@@moehio You're both wrong. She didn't have a problem with Catholicism but rather those within the church who abused their power. She was ordained a priest in a breakaway Catholic branch.
RIP Sinead. What a talent.
such a powerful song. The start, all the I don’t wants…Love you, miss you, pray for you Sinead.
I wish she could have embraced this optimistic side of herself.Such a talent.
Oh I fell in love with her when I was only 19...this year I'll be 45 and I have always seen her as strong, beautiful and intelligent! She had a deep Knowing always when so many turned a blind eye! I love and respect her for that - until I pass on!!! Thank You, Sinead!!!
Precisely ❤💞❤💞❤💞❤💞❤💞❤💞🙌❤
Maybe her most moving song -- but Lord, she had so many...
What a heart breaking, yet heart warming. I cry for Sinead every time I hear this beautiful song.
What a transformation. This song is fantastic. Hope Sinead is back for good she's brilliant.
Clari BellaA brilliant song from an artist long misunderstood.
+Clari Bella amazing!
+Clari Bella It's so sad that Sinead is going through so much turmoil in her personal life. She is a great artist. I always fancy her songs.
I feel the same way you do , I started listening to her when I started 5th or 6th grade. Hardcore fan of hers forever. I'm really hoping for another tour, I've never seen her live and I want to so badly.
I know, that was beautiful. So fucking powerful!!!!
Sorry to hear your life's been so difficult - as an artist you're absolutely one of a kind and the greatest. Please don't give up.
Mental illness....she's lovely@@NGM8011
:(
Seeing a message of support and encouragement like yours is the most wonderful gift.
Crushed it with line after line of truth, delivered PERFECTLY!!
Never been the biggest Sinead fan, but she always brings something special.
And this is great!
songs to mend your broken bones.
girl, you've been doing that since always.
thank you.
I absolutely adore this woman's music and everything she stands for. Sinead is a role model with morals and a core of steel. Love you Sinead xx
This is such a joyful romp, but it always makes me cry.
she really sing her life , her soul, her voice i really so sad and miis her
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.!
why.... why did you go eh? so many of us sare just like you Sinead, you were a voice for some of us no matter what they did you still spoke , loud enough...... we heard you. we still hear you
It was time to go.
6/7/2-24 Here again.
This song makes me cry. Religion has wounded so many people.
I am trying to hold onto God, but let the religious poison go. I relate to this song on deep levels.
RIP Sinead. You were a prophetess and ahead of your years. You spoke so much truth.
I hope what came after this hard life is exactly what you deserve, Beautiful Soul.
These are some of the most beautiful lyrics I have ever heard.
I heard it yesterday for the first time. She created a fusion between "going to church" and contemporary rythmic music in a way that only a genius could do. My sincere admiration for her.
The most beautiful eyes and the most beautiful voice Slovakia
I miss you so much Sinéad 😢
My first day hearing this song. Absolutely fantastic. Such an inspirational woman. May she rest in peace
Je t'aime ma belle, tu m'accompagnes tous les jours ❤❤❤😢
A very underrated but powerful and spiritual song from Sinead O'Connor. RIP to such a unique, talented, outspoken, brave artist. May you find everlasting peace that you sought for in this mortal plane. Nothing Compares 2 U 😢⚘
God bless the Queen of Ireland!
Love that song actually
Queen of Denmark
I loved this woman-she was so honest, so authentic. I’ve watched all of videos and sung all her songs.
God be with you, dear dear Sinéad. ❤
Thanks for your strength, Sinead. You're an inspiration for us all!
"Take Me To Church"
I don't wanna love the way I loved before
I don't wanna love that way no more
What have I been writing love songs for?
I don't want to write them anymore
I don't wanna sing from where I sang before
I don't wanna sing that way no more
What've I've been singing love songs for?
I don't wanna sing them anymore,
I don't wanna be that girl no more
I don't wanna cry no more
I don't wanna die no more
So cut me down from this here tree
Cut the rope from off of me
Sit me on the floor,
I'm the only one I should adore
Oh, Take me to church,
I've done so many bad things it hurts
yeah, Take me to church
but not the ones that hurt
'Cause that ain't the truth
And that's not what it's worth
Yeah, take me to church
oh, take me to church
I've done so many bad things it hurts
Yeah, get me to church
but not the ones that hurt
'Cause that ain't the truth
And that's not what it's worth
I'm gonna sing songs of loving and forgiving
Songs of eating and of drinking,
songs of living, songs of calling in the night
'cause songs are like a bolt of light
And love's the only love you should invite
Songs of long and spiteful fails
songs that don't let you sit still
Songs that mend your broken bones
and that don't leave you alone
So get me down from this here tree,
take the rope from off of me
sit me on the floor,
I'm the only one I should adore!
Oh, Take me to church,
I've done so many bad things it hurts
Yeah take me to church,
but not the ones that hurt
'Cause that ain't the truth
And that's not what it's worth
Yeah, take me to church
oh, take me to church
I've done so many bad things it hurts
Yeah, get me to church,
but not the ones that hurt
'Cause that ain't the truth
And that's not what it's worth
Thanks.
what about hozier's take me to church Version.
How I envy people who had a chance to see with their own eyes this great woman with a phenomenally beautiful soul! In my terrible country, she was only once and I did not know about it in advance, I could not come to the capital. Rest in peace, dear Sinead. Nothing compares to you.
Откуда Вы? Я тоже так сожалею, что не увидела ее вживую, а сейчас уже слишком поздно.
I was lucky enough to see Sinead in concert a few times and I can honestly say that she sounded the same live as she does on CD. Best female artist of all time in my opinion. Heartbroken Sinead has gone.
This is a song of strength. Of redemption through introspection and acceptance. It is amazingly profound and revealing. Sine ad bares her sound and her pain to show you there is beauty in hope and self forgiveness. She is an angel. A beautiful soul she shares with us despite the toll it takes on her to be so vulnerable. Thank you Sinead. You are my angel, my sister and my inspiration.
I love you so much beautiful Sinead. RIP❤
Most powerful and outstanding female artist!! After all these years she still has it! her powerful voice,her beauty. It's still there! GOD Bless Sinead!! I hope she could make it through the hard time, there are many people still cares about her and loving her. she'll make it through.
She looks amazing in PVC, miss ya Sinéad I'm so glad I got to see you live.
She has a fantastic power and energy in her voice here. I've not kept up with her entire catalogue but I love this. I'll be getting this album
Roland Baldwin she is a special talent, very passionate!
....and you think she was on drugs...let me get you a mirror pal...
rachel pinkston whoaaa... what the fuck is wrong with you, you’re not well, call your psychiatrist
WHATTA' Powerhouse............................I miss her so much!
R.I.P. Sinead O’Connor your music had left many willing to stand and fight against oppression. Thanks
i love this woman
...love this, this is a great song, great video and she reiterates that important message about churches that hurt...wow, this hits the nail right on the head. No one comes close to delivering a message like Sinead...
Ruddy Nora. Powerful, brutal, honest, bare. Sinead says it as it is, true gem. Beautiful soul inside and out. Cracking track and video. Thanks Sinead and the band.
Remembering your birthday Sinead. Rest in peace.
This song was released around same time as Hoosier title by the same name but I recently discovered this and it’s so incredible and important !
In an interview, he says she was his biggest inspiration to his craft
"take me to church but not the one's that hurt"
wulfgar3000 She is against churches in general. It may be those humanistic churches we some dream of.
@wulfgar3000 the Catholic church is full of idolatry; I want to tell you that Jesus Christ loves you and he wants you to be saved; do you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour?
Ends up being a Muslim. 🤔
@@tiktikivid
"speaks"
@@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040 Jesus is respected hugely by Muslims too. You cannot be muslim if you dont respect Moses and Jesus. Islam is continuation of Judaism and Christianity.
Omg... She was soooooo beautiful with hair! I'm heart broken that she's left us even more now!
Love this ❤. Thanks for your incredible music & sharing your beautiful soul, Sinead 🙏💗🕊️
This is one of 5 songs I listened to when I was crying and rolling around on the floor sweating and kicking by myself in my apartment.
She truly helped me when I decided to quit H.
When I first watched this in my head I was saying "please don't let that be her hair, make it a wig", and when she pulled it off I cheered. I hope I am not the only one, and if I m then so be it,
Sinead has said this is her look for life.
Mike Lippenkrantz
Ah but that only helps those who have read or heard it, I hadn't.
Your not on your own fantastic song and video
Dermacrosis
Same :)
You’re missing the point!
If only she'd seen all these comments of love and admiration. An absolute inspiration. Rest in power 🌹
"I'm the only one I should adore" ❤️
Pls be carefully before you God create you.
She looks so beautiful in this video.. she was one of my favorite singers since I started to listen music in my life; back in 1990. In that moment she was so different... that was precisely what attracted me from her. she got me hypnotized with her voice, her rare style ... and her beautiful songs of course!. .. I follow her from her biggest success which everybody already knows very well what hit about is.
I'm so happy she's back again.. in specially because she coming for the very first time to my country!.. and of course I'll be there!
Easy ...Danny
Okay ;)
Lol you sound a bit obsessed With Her
No really; I mean I had devotion, admiration; perhaps she impact at the beginning about her look; I really appreciate all of her. I really like her songs. maybe my english didn't explain very well; sorry, but my native language isn't english.
Sure, and I'm so glad she has been wearing those clothes and wig; she looks beautiful.
You are to me, the most truthful artist out there! I have always loved your music and you are just a true inspiration to the soul x
Love this song Sinead and the freedom that is expressed in dance through the young girl. I used to dance like that in worship when I was younger and yes I agree that I only want to go to the church where they do not hurt. May our Heavenly Father pour out upon you His love, mercy, and joy unceasing. You are a most precious vessel in His hands. You are a most beautiful treasure to His heart.
