sinead o'connor - war

[VigaMighty]

love love love this girl....good ova evil

[unwell333]

When my sisters seen her sing this on SNL when we were young, we freaked out. We were so excited. And then pissed off when people acted like she had done something terrible. She is so beautiful. :)

[zaquex]

The lyric´s is basically an excerpt from the Ethiopian Emperor H.I.M. Haile Selassie I´s speach to the united nations from 1963 adapted by Bob Marley.

[olitoff2814]

peace & love

[MPSecare]

this bitch had it right all along!

FUCK THE POPE

[Instrumental187]

@MPSecare Respect yourself. Don't call other women that! you have a mother & a sister for God's sake, have some respect!!

[sillyduffers]

unfortunately it's not a great song like jimmy cliffs many rivers to cross. That song bridges the racism

[ladypeinforte]

It's moving and worthy of respect that after her famous SNL...rendering of this song, which was most problematic because it appropriated Marley's Afrocentricism for her own noble but different cause, she has returned it to its roots...with a blow for the women of Africa, just to show she's not sorry for having said "Woman [or child] is the n***** of the world/Church." Sinead, you're never neat or simple but always righteous. Peace out.

[Insidapc]

O'Conner and the Pope are in the same legion... They just don't know it...

Jesus says, "to love one another.." and that by doing so you will automatically fulfill the 10 commandments of his Father, which you were also told to follow. That means even loving O'Connor and the Pope... Do not hate those that are hateful... that is exactly what the hateful want to see you do! That is what O'Connor tells us to do. Is she God?

Don't shoot the messenger.

[Insidapc]

"Until the philosophy of holding one race superior and another inferior"

Watch the real "Sinead O'Conner-War" (on youtube) video of her on SNL... This isn't even the correct song in this video above, Lol. She opened with the above line. Also, take note of the star of David on the necklace around her neck in the video...

Does she find Judaism or Zionism "superior" to Christianity? And why should we "fight" the catholic church... which was started by early Roman Zionists to distort Jesus' words?

[JenaSLewis]

I've always stood behind Sinead on this one. From the first time she sang this on SNL people knew priests were abusing kids and the church was covering it up. Sinead many blessings will be waiting for you in the next life.

[1814Brandan]

And in the end, she was proven right....

[brother234]

War's are not caused over Race Sinead, Hello Anyone, Race helps to bring people together under one cause, but people really fight over control and greed. Joining up with your own or another race is used, but it's Man's Sin Nature, NOT his skin color which drives crimes and the sickness we all suffer from which works its way to the top of every government. She is just an ignorant who gives dangerous message because she assumes she's talking to "good" people. All are capable of wrong and evil.

[Datjy1]

Sinead brings the message of Haile Selassie I of Ethopia! Respect!

[harmonymathews101]

Respond to this video... my level of respect for sinead just hit the roof ,,omg what a beautiful song

[TheRoman445]

dam i love her thumbs up if u fill the same =)n=)

[prettykiray]

"fight the real enemy!!!"

[1PRETTYGURLSWAG]

God Bless Sinead O'Conor. Tell it like it is Sister. "Don't gain the world and loose your soul" you,r a true exmple of that. Bless you.

[MATWrehearsals]

fave marley song done justice,serious respect for Sinead and her work with Sly & Robbie if you cant love you cant live if you dont share you cant give  big up Sinead you are doing great things

[somuchthingstosay]

This is a spech done bij Haile Selassie when he visited Jamaica, put on music bij the great Bob Marley. Whoever sings this song knows what it got to say. Everyone is a uniqe person, so there must be no contest of who did it better, enjoy the different way`s of expression.

Live clean let your works be seen.

[stonechater]

Selassie made this speech in U.N., not Jamiaca

[inbal66]

One God One Love...

[smilelikeUmeanit90]

We are One under the Sun

[IH8WRONGPPL]

Glad she ripped on that pedophile club leader... err, the pope.

Fuck religion, and there higher than thou bullshit. We'll see what's what, when we're dead.

[smilelikeUmeanit90]

spot on my friend! peace*

[Ender080192]

@IH8WRONGPPL

Or we won't see anything.

[IH8WRONGPPL]

who knows

[TheMangaManic]

Those who try to dirty her name really have no understanding of sinead whatsoever.

[unabomberman]

@TheMangaManic

Especially now, considering all the shit that's being unearthed around the institution that is the catholic church (not, please, that I'm not bashing catholics).

[seeeliwww]

@TheMangaManic your right Sinead is awesome

[heartnmouth]

speak for those who can't speak up... sinead, concerning the song of war, and what you did... Thank you...

People lack understanding, when you first sang that song,...

remember, this is probably how people treated children, when they try to speak out, in the past...

then it happened in 03(?), when truth came out... The sexually infested priests got busted.. for playing with little children... so sickening... and it doesn't stop there... God does care!!! We just don't know that...

[salpety]

Wonderfull music. Cheers from spain

[salpety]

I love her.

[finkhein]

I charge you all that each one of you concentrate all the thoughts of your heart on love and unity. When a thought of war comes, oppose it by a stronger thought of peace. A thought of hatred must be destroyed by a more powerful thought of love. Thoughts of war bring destruction to all harmony, well-being, restfulness and content.

Thoughts of love are constructive of brotherhood, peace, friendship, and happiness.

-- `Abdu'l-Bahá, Paris Talks

[mkultra2000]

Actually the track "War," which was written by Eric Allen and Carlton Barnett (although it's often associated with Bob Marley)

[rastoni]

the lyric of war is made by bob marley---and it was taken of a speech of his imperial majesty HAILE SELASSIE I of ethiopia

[ZaitchikBegaitchik]

These are the words of Haile Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia. The words were taken from his speech delivered to the UN in 1964.

I wonder if she knew about that fact. If the Emperor of Ethopia would have treated his people in the way he proclaimed in his speech, it would have been perfect, but......

[spawn13010]

grande classe trés belle voix c'est tout simplement sublime

[spiffyblackcat]

This is the next album I'm getting. I'm Sinead's newest fan. My son's middle name is Nesta, and I still love this version. Cover songs are one of the many things I love about reggae. The more versions I have of a song I like, the happier I am.

[siyo99]

True, she sings 3 of my favourites. War, Marcus an Downpressor. She knows her shiiiiit, sings the most beatiful songs. I would love to be able chop it up with The Spear himself. Sing his songs.

[namuel09]

holly cow!

[guillaume14540]

Qu'en attendant qu'il n'y ait plus de citoyens

De première et de deuxième classe, dans chaque nation,

En attendant que la couleur de peau d'un homme

N'ait pas plus de signification que la couleur de ses yeux

Je dis : guerre

[Irishsheking]

Until you learn about the strong young Irish people that Oliver Cromwell kidnapped and sold into slvery you won't understand the ties between traditionalIrish music and reggae music.

[lleidabizarre]

I don't like this kind of music very much...but I think this song and "untold stories" are the best songs from this album....

I really like this song!!

well done Sinead!!

[stonechater]

bob marley made the orginal ;)

[NIU1979]

bello,bello,bello

[Fargaul]

[stonechater]

[anonimasoy]

okis! thank you for reading my comment. yes, I know that the song is Bob Marley's and I have listened to it! But I like Sinead's version! (I'm feminist jajaj naa it's a joke). the only thing I can say is that Marley is an incomparable artist!!

[stonechater]
