Regarding her actions toward the catholic Church heirarchy - She was the first to do anything on behalf of those, including herself, who were abused by that structure. It took an enormous amount of courage and she knew at the time that it would create a lot of anger toward her, but she was brave enough to do something. It may be that her action was not the best use of her energy, but I admire her guts, and applaud her stamina.
Always liked Sinead. haunting music. it was just the "hair" thing....and I know ,it makes me sound sexist ..but I love beutifull hair on women..sorry ..am old school. still a amazing artist.
I have goosebumps just listening to this. I had no idea Sinead sang this, all I heard was Kate Bush and I must say they're both good but Sinead really gives it a haunting feeling.
SO perfectly done! Haunting and touching with the lightest movement almost like a balmy breath, lingering fragrance. Thank you for posting this for all of us to hear and cherish!
Better a battered career rather than a battered spirit. Not to speak is like (her song for Dolly Parton) a dagger through the heart. She walked tall and carried a big stick. She did not give up. I admire her for that. I loved her voice from the beginning and I will until the end...although, there is no end as the end is only the beginning.
Listening to her, I now know why the caged bird sang...and why she chose to be bald.
even though eimer quinn did a wonderful rendition, sinead o connor should have been chosen as the proper representative to sing this song on behave of ireland to queen elizabeth in dublin last night
I am going to record a version of this using Audacity, I think it's the perfect song because it's just vocals - so simple and conveys a nice message in gaelic... And no I am not posting this to promote the program :P
@allison89929 It's sung in Gaeilge. Celtic is the race of which Irish people are a small subset. Gaeilge is the language, and this isn't an old form, it's the one still spoken today. Sorry if this sounds pedantic but hate the Irish language being mis-labelled!
Thank you Col2109, you have it right. i grew up in a large family and, like many other men of the times, my father had to go abroad to keep his family. The mothers,in general, were left to bring up their families with dignity and pride. We children took all their sorrows and heartaches for granted - and they gave without complaint. Thank heavens times have changed for the better. God bless the women of Ireland, past and present.
Do not weep for not being Irish. The women of Ireland have long shown us the way forward. Have long carried the suffering and the men, the heroes, have long been in awe of their female comrades. There is romance, true, but there is a spirit deep down, like a rod of steel that runs through every Irish woman I have ever met. If only I had their steel I would be a better man than am, hero an all that I are.
i understand she stood up for her beliefs..but she was shut out..after that , and her voice came from god. a blessing , i wish we heard from her more, people just werent ready for what she did, but her voice...like an angel!!!!
Listen the interpretation of Nolween Leroy, a breiz girl. I will be curious of your comment. From Eire, Scotland, Wales, England, Brittany (Breiz) and more ; we are all the daughter and son of the Tuatha Dé Danaan ! Fraternity !
@melkki74 I've heard the Nolwenn Leroy interpretation and loved it! I was very impressed with her handling of Irish, there were one or two words where she had difficulty but aside from that it was BEAUTIFUL!!
Dedicated to my mom, Elizabeth Gilroy Johnston and her mom, my nana, Elizabeth Hickey Gilroy--both born in New York, but of 100% Irish descent, and it's amazing how many Irish women I've known, particularly the older ones, remind me of them. Thank you and bless you always.

She's remarkable, plain and simple...in a complicated sort of way.; and I still love her music.
Hardly… I have no idea how you can tie her self-centric demonstration (e.g., "I'm such a rebel") to any indication of a warning against pedophilia in the ranks of the Church. Likewise, I saw no ripping up of photos of famous soccer coaches, ballet instructors, girl scout leaders, etc. – other places where predators of this nature like to hide.
No, rather it was a simple “thumbing my nose at the establishment” gesture that provoked wide spread sentiment – face it, when Frank Sinatra wants to kick your butt you’ve probably strayed over the line.
@TheRustyspring Well, I shouldn't have spoken, cause I don't know the facts. I'm not Catholic, nor have I ever seen her except in videos, non which had any sort of violence (i don't like it.) I take your word, as I didn't realize these things you said she has done. Enjoy the rest of the week!
Protest - not that I can see. All that I saw was a self indulgent attention grabbing singer of admittedly great talent whose own ambitions led to her to her own downfall. It was more “me me me” grab on the American stage (i.e., Saturday Night Live) than “I see a potential problem”. She was raised in a very comfortable middle class environment yet pretended to be a self made man arising from the poor gutters of Dublin.
@justicepartyuk I suppose the people of Ulster aren't Irish In your opinion then is that it? That sounds very ignorant to say the least. I agree it will be a long time coming, if ever, that north and south unite which I myself doubt will ever happen but in my opinion you should be ashamed of yourself if that's what you truly believe.
The most incredible female voice in music!...i beg you to name another...A true celtic woman who took on the catholic church before it was easy pickings...and suffered for it...One of a kind!
Sinead O'Connor is one of the most beautiful artists in soul, spirit, and musicality. And more than all that , SHE IS THE HEART OF HUMANITY AND EMPATHY.

Everytime I hear this I want to think there is smoething celtic inside me so I can feel I have at least a far little mystical link with the culture from which something so sublime has emerged.
@latintantramaster : Enjoy this feeling and be proud, and feel lucky that you have a Celtic Spirit, for I think I wish I was born Celtic just to be endowed, if Mother Nature would allow it, with such a powerful vocal spirit. On the other hand, I am content with the gift of APPRECIATING IT.

Ouch. I'm definitely not seeing Robin Hood with Crowe to avoid ruining my experience when listening to this miraculous song by Sinead. I'm already seeing the 2 idiot Hollywood actors dancing around a fireplace when this song is so much, much more.
This Song is so Beautiful ! I love her voice here. But I can not decide which one is Best, her or Kate Bush. God ! they're Both Amazing Singer. Truly Extraordinary Both of them. I Truly enjoyed Sinead voice her and the Harmony with the Flue. She exudes so much emotions here. Wow ! God Bless her. Love, Teri
Lovely isn't it , funily enough I always would have thought it was about a man boasting about the ladies in his homeland at least thats what John Spillan said whenI last saw him and he's from Cork. So he must be right.
I always come back to this posting whenever I need a reminder of how beautiful life can and should be, through the power and beauty of Sinead's voice and artistry.
This song raises every hair and sends shivers down, It speaks volumes about the Irish Spirit, It's music and song writing, such a proud history and heritage. Sinead does this song great justice.
Hail to the young woman of Listowel who spoke out against her rapist and demanded justice despited ridicule from both men and women. May she be a model for all women in Ireland and the world.
when i first saw Sinead at the age of 7 or 8 i could actually see her as a close friend. Growing old i guess this was due to the truth she kept in her heart. I think she is a great artist. I thank her for the gifts she gave to the world. Her voice.
Fantastic!

@rosalee26 Sinead's voice has been known to have that effect! She's absolutely brilliant with trad Irish music (and her own songs as well of course).

Hail to the young woman of Listowel who spoke out against her rapist and demanded justice despited ridicule from both men and women. May she be a model for all women in Ireland and the world.

when i first saw Sinead at the age of 7 or 8 i could actually see her as a close friend. Growing old i guess this was due to the truth she kept in her heart. I think she is a great artist. I thank her for the gifts she gave to the world. Her voice.

Beautiful, and her accent is that of a native Irish speaker from Dublin, that is just how they sound (kinda English sounding).

Hauntingly beatiful. Irish is a mouthful to understand, let alone to speak it.
Go on, Sinead, bring out a CD with Irish songs.
I will be one who will buy a copy
God Bless you.
