I remember Sinead from parties back in the day. She was ballsy, funny and very direct. Her experience with her mother was similar to mine and I loved the way she spoke up about it. Mother’s can break their children but Sinead only got stronger from what she experienced. I hope she’s finally at peace.
Her struggle is over but yes her children will have a mountain to climb. I cannot judge her I can only say I'll miss her and may Sinèad rest in the peace she was denied while living.. May the cycle be broken 🙏🏻
No way. You're Irish? My mother was a saint. I can't relate. My Da a famous musician, still nothing like her suffering. Listened to her book, made me feel like vomiting. Hurt by a relative, equals the same CPTSD. Nonetheless Shane is gone too soon, Sinéad too. Now ye want to pretend that ye didn't call her "Crazy". As Ice Tea says "If you scared, go to church". Adults are talking. Too many b*%ch ass Irish these days. Makes me sick.
@@daughterofenoch677 your comments are ironic, because your original reply was quite crude and demonic in its own way as well. Conflating suicide and mental health struggles with flagrant and persistent abuse is ludicrous and primitive.
It takes a lot of courage and honesty to issue such an apology! Although it is late, but never too late! Sinead was a modern-day saint and heroine, the world always crucifies good people, that’s never going to change 💔
I was in my late-20's when that SNL episode aired. I live on the West Coast, so we got the edited version when it was broadcast. I didn't hear about it until the next day, and never actually saw the clip until a couple days later. The stories about the Church were widespread in the States around that time, so, as a Catholic, I was glad to see someone speaking out against that which was tolerated under the guise of "in-house policing." Sinead was canceled before cancel culture was normalized. Our impotence and ignorance silenced a voice we needed to listen to and encourage. Sinead, a lot of us _were_ listening...thank you. Rest in power...
My mother told me about such subjects in the 70s.A very well read women of high intelligence. Sinead O Connor was before her time with similar intelligence. The rest of us were not quite there. May Sinead rest in peace now,hopefully with her beloved son.
@@keidwynAre you Irish? I didn't know much about Sinead O'Connor but I've heard her song Nothing Compares To You. I was shocked and disgusted by what abuse she suffer because of her evil mother. I'm not Irish or Catholic but I know she was a very brave woman. In the name of the father? I'm showing my ignorance but is that to do with Jesus? My grandmother was Catholic and that church shames good Catholics. I remember her on TV wearing a Tee shirt with I Blame The Parents on it. So do I. I don't owe her any apology but what I've learnt in life people hate the living but that all changes when they die. I don't believe in role models but she is a woman who I can believe in. Speaking the truth is hard especially when it's truth people don't want to hear or accept. The woman had guts.
@@charlottelouise209 Hi no I'm Australian but my mothers family were all Irish and my mum was placed in a catholic institution when her mum died at an early age .I can say that Sinead had no issue with God or Jesus but she did have an issue with the Church as an institution,the Vatican is its own city with its own bank and wields a lot of power the world over .Sh was young and as she aged so did her ways of expression injustice ,sadly for her her "growing and healing was amplified through her public attacks on the "evil" of the world the greed and the abuse of children via the peadophiles who were being protected by the pope .I think her passion for all beings to not suffer was very real but its wa also personal as she was abused,this made it appear a little conflicting to the public yet at the end of the day she was a woman of great courage ,a huge heart and a fragility we can all relate too .Loosing her child to suicide must have been horrendously devastating and she wanted to go home to be with him .
Her music got me through so much in my life. She was absolutely right about the Catholic Church 10 years before it came out. I’m a happy atheist now and I owe a bit of that gratitude to Sinead.
Have you stopped watching BBC because of the pedos in that or RTÉ producer who was sentenced a couple of years ago for child p0rn. How about all the different media outlets, organisations, and sports… I’d say not. “A happy atheist” not possible a happy idiot more like. Ignorance is bliss they say…
We were all shocked and in disbelief about the Catholic Church .It's only after all the scandals came out we saw the truth so don't blame yourself we were all in the same boat
@hansiesma16 whether you believe it or not is up to you but it is not a token gesture, I am genuinely ashamed that I did not appreciate Sinead when she was alive.
@bridielondon2764 did you listen until the end? The reason I'm annoyed with myself is because it is too little too late, it took her death to make me realize how wrong I've been, I fully admit that. I had no idea that thousands of people would see this, I thought it would just be the people I grew up with who could relate.
This is a very big thing to do. Not enough people in this world can change their minds, admit they were wrong or apologise. You've just done all three and I bet it actually feels good. There's no shame in admitting you were wrong. It happens to us all. What's shameful is staying ignorant in the face of facts and sticking to your guns for no good reason other than ego and pride. That sort of thinking leads to untold amounts of pain.
100% agree. Even when this all ended up being mainstream afterall, NO ONE went back and said 'damn she was right afterall'. This took a lot of courage and humility.
@@jenniferlee1410 I never thought about that - that's a great point - that no one publicly addressed this (her speaking up and apologizing to her - which could have been great)
She touched me too. I live in Australia. She gave her all to all regardless of everything and everyone. I was a child and bought her album for my sister's 21st birthday. It's an honour to experience her voice and presence in my lifetime ❤❤❤
My sister played her music every morning before work for a very long time. It made me happy l got my sister something meaningful but also to share what Sinead gave to me. ❤
It’s always those that have the most empathy that carry the biggest of burdens and fight against all odds for what is right regardless of who they are up against. And it’s always those that lack empathy and compassion that lead in the condemnation of those that fight for others. RIP sweetie for your heart and your soul was to good for this world to appreciate what you stood for and too corrupted by those that seek to gain from their evil actions and to keep those warriors of justice from being listened to. May God bless you for caring so much and for trying to fight against those in power that should never be. ❤❤❤
Respect to you sir! I use to try to explain to my mom who Sinead was. I don’t mean just a singer, but what she sacrificed and the abuse she suffered! My mother was abusive to my sisters and I also, so I can’t help but feel Sinead’s pain and I was very sad once again just as I was when Robin Williams died, and more recently Prince! All suffered regardless of their celebrity careers.
She actually said in a later interview that she did not actually know the full extent of child abuse in the church but was just generally speaking out about the all pervasive oppressive system of control the chruch had in general in Ireland.She said she had read some bits in a newspaper article about parents who had complained to the chruch but they had been dismissed and ignored. I'm not sure whether she even knew the full extent of the abuse on such a systemic scale and worldwide and the cover up within the church.I heard her say this in an interview but it still doesn't take away that she was calling out the chruch and its message on guitl and shame and control of people and their sexuality particularly women of course. I also think she expereinced the shunning again when she talked openly about her mental health and this was yet another thing for her to be "made fun of"and dismissed and invalidated and I feel like in her later years this eas somehting which really took its toll on her,she talked about having mental health struggles as "having to walk down the road with two broken legs pretending you didn't have two broken legs".The calling her crazy and making out like she no longer knew what she was talking about etc or even her religious conversion were always reasons to doubt her validity or credibility. It seems like anyone but particularly women who speak up against the general "consensus"that is usually created thorugh media storms and lies or talks out against the ststus quo comes up against the kind of villification that Sinead did. She went thorugh hell and not just because she was battling with her own demons but because other people made her life hell by making her feel as if she was crazy".She was wrongly diagnosed with bipolar when it was in fact complex trauma as it is I believe with many given these labels. That woman deserved so much more respect and love than she ever got although there has always been a strong contingent who knew what she was talking about and loved her for her honesty and courage and fierceness. I really think many of us are still in shock and feel so saddened that she is gone and even though she struggled I believe she truely wanted to live so badly and still had so much she would have liked to have said and done. I hope she can teach us more to be more brave and not so quick to judge and to reflect more on our own thought and how e arrive at them,and to look more inwardly at our own consciences and speak out when we need to.
Love this! By '92 I was in my late teens. Having turned my back on the Cathoic church I too was shocked while I watched Sinead live. I had this immediate punch to the gut knowing that the repercussions were going to be bad, and although I disliked the pope I had a hard time believing what she was saying. She was ahead of her time but by the time lots of us realsied her truth Sinead was struggling alone with the trauma of her past. I followed her over the last 10 years as she battled her mental health , her loneliness and feelings of being unloved. What you did here is more of what I wish to see elsewhere. Social media seems to be a buzz with many hollow tributes to Sinead.
I understand as I was raised Catholic and saw some horrific things! Residential School here! Takes courage to admit being wrong! R.I.P. Sinead O’Connor 🦅☀️🦅💚🦅☀️🦅
She was trying to heal her painful past. She was open and honest and like so many spirits on this earth she had a clear message for those who have experienced trauma within their childhood journey. Her childhood and her religious conditioning was another layer of abuse and pain . Through her music she evoked buried emotions that needed healing. She was diminutive in size but she packed a punch with truth and openness that may have proved uncomfortable for many. For those who experienced her trauma less we forget the passing of her son We salute you my ❤....Sleep n rest now thatc you've returned home where your passed loved ones will greet you with all the Love , care and support you never received on this Earth xxx❤
Never ceases to amaze me the scope of social damage the catholic institution is responsible for. It's why I believe science is so vital in our battle to move forward as a civilisation.
That was spot on what you said here. I have noticed on Twitter they have bought Sinead's passing into the culture war, Sinead was beyond the culture war, she was able to connect with people from many different sides. She was a powerful activist for people whose voices were not heard. Yes, she suffered a lot for this but she never backed down. The stress of this on her personal and public life would have taken a toll on her emotional and physical well-being. She was very brave and sometimes had no support from the local and global music industry and communities when she spoke on controversial topics.
I really appreciate this. !. I loved Sinead O'Connor Vibe, Presence and her Standing Up For Her Truths. I'm from South Liverpool. In my younger days due to mums illness I was placed in a number of foster care homes eventually settling in Nazareth House Children's Home Liverpool UK. Listening to you & many other fans, friends or family share their Respects & Love Of Sinead O'Connor's Life ..And Everything She Stood Up For...Will Forever Be Easing My Own Personal Pains . Thank-You For Your Sharing This With Us All. 👍🏼✌️🙏
Wow Irishmothertrucker! Sinead was a walking truth bomb in art and life. You just delivered your vey own truth bomb. Love the whole set up too . . . just a guy in his garage. A simple stage for the simple truth. Your courage and sincerity are shining through.
I was in my 20’s when Sinade tore up the picture, and I was very surprised when everyone went against her, she was standing up for something and if everybody would’ve given her a chance, maybe they could’ve seen what she was standing up for. Now she’s dead and it’s to late to let her knw how powerful she really was. 😢
Sinead said and did what no one else was allowed to on national tv b/c she did it live. It opened up a path for us Native Americans in the U.S. and First Nations people in Canada to finally be able to speak what happened to them in the residential and boarding schools. It's never too late to apologize sincerely.
Thank you, sir! Sinead helped the Irish, and all Catholics worldwide, to think critically and use the discernment, that the Church keeps talking about, even when it comes to criticizing the Church itself ....
that photo gave me hope ,I was a kid abused in institutional care and when I watched it I cried with relief ,THANK YOU for the sorry I honestly appreciate it .The horror my sisters n I suffered was bad and we dont live up to our full potential because of it .She was my hero .Offend away as that's how we are can all heroes ,those who abuse don't deserve no offence ,
I am very sorry you and your sisters went through that, to be clear I have no tolerance for anyone that mistreats children in anyway. When I said I didn't mean to offend Christians or Catholics I meant the ones who are far removed and against any type of abuse, personally I am completely detached from any type of organized religion and have been for a long time.
🌺 it’s takes introspection and courage to apologize to others. 🕊️ a boulder is off your shoulders and you have the admiration of people that heard this. HEAR, HEAR, HEAR ! A man of integrity just spoke 🕊️
@@dublinpaul1 im sure you were doing your best so there's no need to beat yourself up. You've given me and others it looks like a deep sense of humanity so maybe hold on to that instead of any regret (which i also understand) 🙏🏼
how can you not be fragile when you expose your fearlessness...the very reason why there should be as many fearless people as possible, it reduces the weight on each shoulders
THAT WAS QUITE HUMBLING 😔 SINEAD'S LYRICS EASED THE PAIN🙏 SHE SANG FOR COMFORT FOR HER SOUL💝 & WE HAD THE HONOUR OF HEARING ,NOT JUST LISTENING BUT REALLY ' HEARING ' & THEN THE HEALING .LOVE ON YOU SISTER💪💖
She did seem to find some peace of late; she was happy to find a lifeline a few years back and start anew with a clean sheet. The whole world now knows our late sister was not wrong but wronged, the whole world also now knows she has gained heaps more sisters and brothers than she lost fans. May she R.I.P. ...
It says a lot about societies that take such umbrage at one person for speaking her mind and yet can be indifferent to acts of violence. It shows how pacified we are and indoctrinated to conform.
Man. you've got to tell those/these crickets to shut up, they're interfering with your sincere and heartfelt out-steaming. It's better late than never, and you do sound honest. I really admired her vocal delivery but couldn' quite cope with her ideologies, so i wasn't exactly a fan, but your best ''contrarians'' always deserve your respect, so here i am , ''Presente!''. May she have found peace and fare safe to the light, the incredibly non-assuming Brave Keltic Lioness.
If I'd any clue this many people were going to watch I would have picked a better setting, Sinead was a tortured soul, I'm ashamed it took her death for me to speak up
@@dublinpaul1 Don't be - you manned up in a way most ''crocodile tearjerkers'' can't compete with. Portugal is one of Ireland's Celtic Soul Brothers, despite the exposure this land has suffered to poisonous judeo-christian and masonic influences, thus the reason why i had to pay tribute to her and to your honesty. ''We shall remember her'', as people say on Poppy Day. Thanks for acknowledging my comment.
“Her ideologies.” Fighting for fairness and equality isn’t an ideology, it’s a human right that all of us should have. Racism; still a problem. Women rights and choices; Still a problem. Child abuse/sexual/physical/emotional; still a huge problem. War; still a problem. Homophobia; still a problem. Those examples go beyond the fascist right leaning culture wars that have impounded over us this past decade. If you can’t see it now, you never will. If we continue on the backward trajectory that this world is heading in, then women will be forced back into the homes, gay people back into the closets, child abuse will still continue alongside the mass trafficking of children. All of our rights worldwide are being stripped away and the religious right have lobbied for it, paid for it and created a vacuum where even those that did lobby for it will also have theirs stripped too and it will be them in the vacuum will cause a war in the world that none of us will be able to contain.
@@marieperry109 okay, well that comment dipped into despair pdq! Indeed we must carry the lit torch no matter what. AND some good news: we are the masses, we just have to come out fully.
God Bless you kind sir🩵🙏🌟 for your courage to stand up🌟👊🙏🌟🤍🌟🤍🌟🤩❤️ What an illuminated soul she was🌟🤍🌟🤍🌟❤️♥️ I will hold her in my heart forever💜 Deeply moved by her departure and enormous respect for her legacy🌟🤩❤️ She should be canonised🌟🤍🌟🤍 true recognition for her life’s work🌟🤍🌟🤍 I wonder if the Church could make that turnaround🤔🌟🙏🌟🙏❤️ Much love Ton🌟💜❤️
Lovely video I lived for a year by Herne Hill and had no idea she lived near me which particularly as a musician myself and fan I'd have so loved to have met her
RIP precious Angel . I love her version the song she performed " Nothing Compares to you" it is more heartfelt especially because she was pouring out her feeling toward her abusive mom after she passed away in a car accident when Sinéad was a young. What sucks is that her dad turned out to also abuse her . This is why she was a strong voice and went after Child Abusers😢🦋❤
“Ahead of her time”, I used to say (just like you)…but after reading her book (Rememberings) and taking note of the revelations and positive changes that have happened since her “Bashing” by the USA in the early 90’s…I realized she was never ahead of her time…”Society Was Trailing Far Behind”.
@Irishmothertrucker well said and some of us have less trauma, same, worse, and our brains take it in and we learn how to survive ~from there it is who we are & hopefully if your living the best way and healthy not being self-destructive to self or others then know each hour of each day is a day of learning ~ peace to you and yours ~ 💚

Respect, brothaman. Peace be with you. From a Palestinian who always stood in solidarity with the people of Ireland 🙏
👍🙏

Wow Irishmothertrucker! Sinead was a walking truth bomb in art and life. You just delivered your vey own truth bomb. Love the whole set up too . . . just a guy in his garage. A simple stage for the simple truth. Your courage and sincerity are shining through.
I was in my 20’s when Sinade tore up the picture, and I was very surprised when everyone went against her, she was standing up for something and if everybody would’ve given her a chance, maybe they could’ve seen what she was standing up for. Now she’s dead and it’s to late to let her knw how powerful she really was. 😢
Sinead said and did what no one else was allowed to on national tv b/c she did it live. It opened up a path for us Native Americans in the U.S. and First Nations people in Canada to finally be able to speak what happened to them in the residential and boarding schools. It's never too late to apologize sincerely.
Thank you for speaking out now
Sinead would be proud RIP Sinead
@@daughterofenoch677 that this man had changed his position
RIP Sinead
Praying for all who are in need..
ALLAH KAREEM
@@daughterofenoch677 Ignorance is not an excuse more often than not it is those who are not widely read or experienced are those that mislead
Thank you for making this ....I UNDERSTAND. I ADMIRE YOUR SINCERITY. ..sinead apreciates truth ..i too feel i did not support her enough .
❤ Sinead was a hero who changed the world. THANK YOU 🙏
This is a really, really honourable gesture......
On behalf of people who were and are still mortally misunderstood....thank you....
That's beautiful and courageous. Thank you.
Very brave. Thank you for your courage and maturity.
Thank you, sir! Sinead helped the Irish, and all Catholics worldwide, to think critically and use the discernment, that the Church keeps talking about, even when it comes to criticizing the Church itself ....
that photo gave me hope ,I was a kid abused in institutional care and when I watched it I cried with relief ,THANK YOU for the sorry I honestly appreciate it .The horror my sisters n I suffered was bad and we dont live up to our full potential because of it .She was my hero .Offend away as that's how we are can all heroes ,those who abuse don't deserve no offence ,
I am very sorry you and your sisters went through that, to be clear I have no tolerance for anyone that mistreats children in anyway. When I said I didn't mean to offend Christians or Catholics I meant the ones who are far removed and against any type of abuse, personally I am completely detached from any type of organized religion and have been for a long time.
Thank you for your apology
You're one strong man
My utmost respect to you
God bless ❤❤❤
🌺 it’s takes introspection and courage to apologize to others. 🕊️ a boulder is off your shoulders and you have the admiration of people that heard this. HEAR, HEAR, HEAR ! A man of integrity just spoke 🕊️
Thank you. Thank you. She was treated so badly she was right....corruption frim the top down. Bless you sir. 🙏
This is a very good way to honor her now. All people that insulted would have to do it.
Her legacy is voices like this.
She's thrilled I reckon to hear this. Good on you. I imagine her smiling in her sweet priceless way
I am ashamed that it took her death for me to think about her more which I should have done while she was alive
@@dublinpaul1 im sure you were doing your best so there's no need to beat yourself up. You've given me and others it looks like a deep sense of humanity so maybe hold on to that instead of any regret (which i also understand) 🙏🏼
Uhhhhh....he committed suicide a year and a half before she did.
"Daughter of I have no facts, just false judgement and hatred".
@@LKre-vi5oq she has another teenage son, I believe he is 16
how can you not be fragile when you expose your fearlessness...the very reason why there should be as many fearless people as possible, it reduces the weight on each shoulders
I was with you until the end…. Offend them… rest in peace Sinéad
That is a conversation for another day, I wanted the focus to be on Catholic Ireland in past decades but I'm agnostic and have been for many years
Well said. That takes honour to do and say the right thing.
Sinead will always be in my heart.
THAT WAS QUITE HUMBLING 😔 SINEAD'S LYRICS EASED THE PAIN🙏 SHE SANG FOR COMFORT FOR HER SOUL💝 & WE HAD THE HONOUR OF HEARING ,NOT JUST LISTENING BUT REALLY ' HEARING ' & THEN THE HEALING .LOVE ON YOU SISTER💪💖
Fair play to you to apologise.
If only more of this had happened in her lifetime!
I agree, I'm ashamed that it took her death to make me think about her life and what she went through
Right on man.
God Bless,
Sinead O Connor🙏🍀♥️
She did seem to find some peace of late; she was happy to find a lifeline a few years back and start anew with a clean sheet. The whole world now knows our late sister was not wrong but wronged, the whole world also now knows she has gained heaps more sisters and brothers than she lost fans. May she R.I.P. ...
It takes a grown man to accept you were wrong. Good for you and so deeply sorry Sinead had to go to Heaven too soon xx
It says a lot about societies that take such umbrage at one person for speaking her mind and yet can be indifferent to acts of violence. It shows how pacified we are and indoctrinated to conform.
It is what is. Great respect for you to say what needed to be said like this.
Glad Sinead stoo up to the Catholic church. I went to a Convent, and the nuns were abusive. I am a happy athiest.
It takes a real man to admit that he's wrong. Thank you!
Much respect to you sir. This is how we grow 💜
Sinéad would love this! Fair play! 🙏🙌👍
Rest In Peace darling you and your son are finally together forever
Man. you've got to tell those/these crickets to shut up, they're interfering with your sincere and heartfelt out-steaming. It's better late than never, and you do sound honest. I really admired her vocal delivery but couldn' quite cope with her ideologies, so i wasn't exactly a fan, but your best ''contrarians'' always deserve your respect, so here i am , ''Presente!''. May she have found peace and fare safe to the light, the incredibly non-assuming Brave Keltic Lioness.
If I'd any clue this many people were going to watch I would have picked a better setting, Sinead was a tortured soul, I'm ashamed it took her death for me to speak up
@@dublinpaul1 Don't be - you manned up in a way most ''crocodile tearjerkers'' can't compete with. Portugal is one of Ireland's Celtic Soul Brothers, despite the exposure this land has suffered to poisonous judeo-christian and masonic influences, thus the reason why i had to pay tribute to her and to your honesty. ''We shall remember her'', as people say on Poppy Day. Thanks for acknowledging my comment.
@@dublinpaul1her son’s death was the cross she was finally unable to bear.
“Her ideologies.” Fighting for fairness and equality isn’t an ideology, it’s a human right that all of us should have. Racism; still a problem. Women rights and choices; Still a problem. Child abuse/sexual/physical/emotional; still a huge problem. War; still a problem. Homophobia; still a problem. Those examples go beyond the fascist right leaning culture wars that have impounded over us this past decade. If you can’t see it now, you never will. If we continue on the backward trajectory that this world is heading in, then women will be forced back into the homes, gay people back into the closets, child abuse will still continue alongside the mass trafficking of children. All of our rights worldwide are being stripped away and the religious right have lobbied for it, paid for it and created a vacuum where even those that did lobby for it will also have theirs stripped too and it will be them in the vacuum will cause a war in the world that none of us will be able to contain.
@@marieperry109 okay, well that comment dipped into despair pdq! Indeed we must carry the lit torch no matter what. AND some good news: we are the masses, we just have to come out fully.
Thank you for this ❤
Actually, I thought the crickets were very appropriate. RIP you beautiful woman. Miss you already.
I miss her tremendously. Not enough people like her in two world. She couldn't take it anymore. I understand that.
God Bless you kind sir🩵🙏🌟 for your courage to stand up🌟👊🙏🌟🤍🌟🤍🌟🤩❤️ What an illuminated soul she was🌟🤍🌟🤍🌟❤️♥️ I will hold her in my heart forever💜
Deeply moved by her departure and enormous respect for her legacy🌟🤩❤️
She should be canonised🌟🤍🌟🤍 true recognition for her life’s work🌟🤍🌟🤍
I wonder if the Church could make that turnaround🤔🌟🙏🌟🙏❤️
Much love Ton🌟💜❤️
there are thousands of Sineads, out there. Look after them.
Very good point and we are not.
I'm heart-broken I always loved sinead even after the incident always listened to her music kept up to date on her I cant get her out of my brain
thank you, I hope we can all learn something from this
Well said and thanks, I think you speak for many of us. If I could turn back time...
This took courage well done
Well spoken!
Good man...we should all ''TAKE NOTE''....WE Have all been CONNED...ESPECIALLY IRISH
Thank you! This is awesome.
You are awesome!🙏🏻
Bless you. ❤
Lovely video I lived for a year by Herne Hill and had no idea she lived near me which particularly as a musician myself and fan I'd have so loved to have met her
Yes. I am also sorry for my diddlingly superficial thoughts about such a profound incident as you describe.
🙏
RIP precious Angel . I love her version the song she performed " Nothing Compares to you" it is more heartfelt especially because she was pouring out her feeling toward her abusive mom after she passed away in a car accident when Sinéad was a young. What sucks is that her dad turned out to also abuse her . This is why she was a strong voice and went after Child Abusers😢🦋❤
“Ahead of her time”, I used to say (just like you)…but after reading her book (Rememberings) and taking note of the revelations and positive changes that have happened since her “Bashing” by the USA in the early 90’s…I realized she was never ahead of her time…”Society Was Trailing Far Behind”.
I salute you my friend ... for having the courage for your convictions!
Amen 🙏!! Lovely
@Irishmothertrucker well said and some of us have less trauma, same, worse, and our brains take it in and we learn how to survive ~from there it is who we are & hopefully if your living the best way and healthy not being self-destructive to self or others then know each hour of each day is a day of learning ~ peace to you and yours ~ 💚
Thank you for speaking up
Solid stuff, thank you for sharing this with the world 💪❤️✌️
This is why we must not judge.
We can know Jesus without most churches spoiling that beautiful experience. Snead was incredible, wish I had known her. Blessings
Well done!
Beautifully put. Thank you for this
That insect is loud.
Sorry about that, it didn't sound that loud in "real life"
@@dublinpaul1Maybe Sinead singing to us in some way.
Thank you!!!
She had her reasons for being the way she was my her soul rest easy now .
Good Man ❤
That cricket has such a way with words
That frigging cricket wasn't that loud in "real life"
Spot on mate ❤️☘️
Good comment mate, well done, well spoken
Love her music! ❤❤❤
RIP Shuhada Sadaqat❤
You know she'd be hugging you now
