Sinéad O'Connor - Jump In The River

[joseq98]

wonderful woman exceptional beauty nothing compares to her

[MacBratt]

Her carreer went nowhere not because of the torn photo but because her music got worse. "The Lion and The Cobra" is her best - by far... (this is from a soundtrack - forgot the movie)

[recendez1969]

pinche video tan mas pendejo

[jasrogg]

Didnt Prince write this song?I love SINEAD!

[dimesack65]

@jasrogg Prince wrote Nothing Compares, not sure about this one..

[PattyDLuffy]

PLz excuse my ignorance, why did she have her had shaven?

[WhyYesIAmASillyNose]

@PattyDLuffy Because she could, I reckon.

[PattyDLuffy]

@WhyYesIAmASillyNose I thought for medical issues at first... It's fine to know she hasn't something serious as I first thought!!

[rksk7909]

@PattyDLuffy SHE SHAVED HER HEAD BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO BE JUDGED ON HER MUSIC NOT HER LOOKS

[fletcherarc]

I can't watch this video...it gives me seizures. Good grief.

[lsb6785]

10 reasons to use condom.

[jokinra]

Marco pirroni at the guitar. (ex adam & the ants ex siouxie & the banshees) sounds so him.

[laos75]

@jokinra Marco only did the acoustic guitar - it was sinead on electric

[lurkingheretic]

Marco Pirroni is seriously underrated. That's him on the guitar as well as co-writer. I wish he'd partner with someone current so we could hear more of him.

Great song, great pairing.

[paddyoshea55]

dontcha wish steven tyler would just retire? that would be awesome

[brodiebanky]

Looks like 9 people need to jump in the river and drown! :D

[karrs8000]

Great voice!Great face!

[jewdicrous]

Dear Vevo, Let me start by saying that your filthy dick-rich corporation sucks youtube dry of democracy and fun. Ever since these big companies started paying off youtube so they could post their shit...etc, we have been getting flagged for infringement every time we include a song we like in our videos. This is YOUtube, the place where we can post OUR videos.To people who want greedy corporations expelled indefinitely from youtube - thumbs up and copy this into Vevo videos.

[binkydonna]

I wish I haD A FACE with which I could get by with shaving my hair off!!!

She's beautiful!!!

[brittonsimon]

@binkydonna You should just do it, it feels great, i am kinda on the larger side right now and it's probably not the most flattering look,but ever since the day i messed up my hair and HAD to shave it, i never went back, best mistake i ever made!:)

[megamollie9]

As much as I love Sinead I feel her husband John should be recognised for his song writing talent.Everybody praises her up but forget that the songs were written by her and John.

[SuperAntisocialite]

vevo ruins everything good, vevo is bad, everyone, imagine vevo just disappearing, never again to ruin good music and poison the spirit of rock and roll ever again. vevo, just go, now.

[MrWolfgangamadeus]

Wow

I almost had an epileptic fit watching this.

I believe this vid. should have a warning label

Too much strobing (spl?) etc........!!

Where do you...'Stand' ..Sinead..after all these years?

Just asking:

Wolf



[franvi77]

It is pretty ironic that her mainstream carreer failed in 1992 due to toring up a photo of the pope and 3 years later we had marilyn manson publicliy saying satanist bullshit in his songs and clips... FUCK HUGE MUSIC LABELS AND HYPOCRITICAL USA CULTURE!

[rwhphoto13]

@franvi77 thank you!

[BishiBanger]

Thank you for uploading. This entire album was a work of art (as were all of her previous and subsequent...only this made her available to the masses, at least to those of us who actually heard). XD

[jank35]

Marco Pirroni! love love love

[prettykiray]

OMG thanks for uploading this --i've been looking for this for ages...i love sinead too much

[doubleder]

This song could have fit in nicely on The Lion and the Cobra! Just an observation...

[Adi80i]

The lights in this video give me a headache, but still in all, it's great!

[risterion]

¡¡Espléndida, maravillosa, exquisita!! ¡¡Saltemos todos al río!!

[jcmlr1970]

@risterion Con esta cancion en mi Ipod salto de donde sea!!! Excelente!!!

[croftmik]

LMAO...Off you go Kid...JUMP...

[philfromwest]

One of my favourite songs of hers, it was on the back of her hit song - Nothing compares 2 u

[quinceyfication]

nice. thanks man. 'm going to have to look it up.

[onecharmingbastard]

wrong and sexy in all the right ways......

[quinceyfication]

The N. American version was hugely censored. There is a whole section missing.The missing lyrics go:

Mother do you have a prick? I said yes I do. Just like cows do. Mother do you have a prick? I said yes I do. Just like cows do. After my mother washed me.

And powdered me.I insisted that she masturbate me.

You wonder why I got panic attacks.You treat me you. You hate me through my silky panties.Well baby you got it wrong.I don't smile when I cum!!! Jump start me.

[JulioCMMS]

This video is such a bad representation of the "sound landscape" of the song. Plus I don't like the mix they used here. The album mix with the vocals lower is much better.

[halexandrre]

Just listenned to Nothing compares 2 U and The emperor's new clothes for the first time and then this song and I prefer the first 2. This one is good 2 but less emotional or intense.. 2 me anyway

[whillyem]

@halexandrre "Jump In The River" Was Recorded During The Lion And The Cobra Sessions, That's Why It Doesn't Fit With The Rest Of Her 2nd Album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got". Her Recording Methods Used For "Jump In The River" Was Different, Than The Production She Used On The Rest Of Her Second Album. "Jump In The River" Was Recorded 2 Years Before The Rest Of The Material On "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got". "Jump" Would Have Been Perfect For The "Lion & The Cobra" Album.

[AJtheory]

And if you said jump in the river I would

because

It would probably be I go to IKEA

[allan30000]

There is also an extra guitar track not on the album version (or single b-side version) which detracts from the feel of the song.

I never knew this was a single before. Her discography says this was a single in the same year Lion and Cobra came out, even though this song was not on that album but on the next one. Also lists it as being "with Karen Finley", but I don't hear her anywhere on this video clip.

[onecharmingbastard]

@allan30000 - hey - me old enough (and worked music retail) to remember - it was a single from the soundtrack to "Married To The Mob", and for the 12", Chrysalis got Karen Finley to come in and re-record it with Sinead, leading to the discography query you had....

[whillyem]

@allan30000 The Karen Finley Version Was Only On The Extended 12" Single.

[allan30000]

My favourite Sinead O'Connor song but pity about the video.

[whillyem]

I HATE That She Changed The Lyric Of The Song To Make This Video Suitable For TV & Radio!!! The Lyric Is Supposed To Be "Like The Time We "Did It" So Hard, There Was Blood On The Wall!!! In This Video Version She Says "Like The Times "I Threw" You So Hard, There Was Blood On The Wall. SINEAD Stills Rules It!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quinceyfication]

@whillyem

The N. American version was hugely censored. There is a whole section missing.The missing lyrics go:

Mother do you have a prick? I said yes I do. Just like cows do. Mother do you have a prick? I said yes I do. Just like cows do. After my mother washed me.

[whillyem]

@quinceyfication The Lyrics You Printed Are Karen Finley's. She Added That Spoken Word Section To The 12" Remix Of Sinead's "Jump In The River". That Explicit Section Was Included In The N. American 12" Version.

[whillyem]

@quinceyfication It's Funny Because She Recorded "Jump" During The "Lion & The Cobra " Era. In The 1988 Live Version Of "Jump", Sinead Sings " Like The Times We Fucked So Hard, There Was Blood On The Wall". On The Album "I Do Not Want" She Sings-"Like The Times We DID IT So Hard". Now In This Censored Video She Sings "Like The Times I Threw You So Hard.... I Still Love Her To Death Though!!!!

[VWV0088]

i can push you if you feel unable to move forward...

[LittleDudeNT5]

The flashing makes me feel sick. However, I love the song.

[amylh322]

@LittleDudeNT5 I know, i can't watch it either, unfortunately. But wow have loved this song for what... 20 years? Did it come out in 1990?

[tadeuvasques]

This music is a goodi!!!!tenquiou for the video!!!

[artmonkid]

I once saw her face to face and her true beauty cannot be fully seen on a screen. She has indigo eyes. She is quite short, 1,60 is my guess.

[mamaburr]

@artmonkid Really?? was it years ago? recently? didja talk to her? or were u completely stunned? she's shy right?

she's always been my favorite..although admittedly, lately I can't really listed to her newer stuff....I believe in The Creator, and I admire her passion, but the religious element is just too heavy

[artmonkid]

@mamaburr Yes! really. It was years ago at a flea market in Mexico City in which people trade and buy music related articles. She was brave to go there although she was surrounded by bodyguards. She was there because Peter Gabriel had a gig in Mexico City that weekend. She's one if not the most beatiful people I've seen and I say so not relly being a big fan of hers, but I do respect her musical prowess and like some of her stuff, very personal and honest such as this song.

[pauwtje30]

i love tis woman, she's beautifull and very good

[mick818522]

Who does she think she is? Some kind of rock star. This just takes the piss. Awful testicle music. Fuck me this is bad. Good title through.

[randomdave30]

@mick818522 And who gave her permission to turn all blue and go all wibbly-wobbly?

[katerock666]

Im married to her

[whitederwood]

Sinead O'Conner is a priestess in the chathlic church lol your 666

[funnygreat]

Me to! :O

[wcduke]

Yeah shit.

[jdcovington]

WHAT!

[JustinOMalley]

I love this song, but I am way to hungover to stare at that video.

[Starriol]

I'm not hungover but it is still dazzling

[AJtheory]

As well you should be, lad

[FakeAdminBlarg]

sounds a little bit like the Pixies!

just a lil'

maybe it's just me

[darkklaxxon1]

Eh? I don't see it. Not at all. And its a truly horrible clip.

[wcduke]

A bad video but an excellent song from one of the most excellent pop/rock/folk chics ever. 'Nuff said.

[AJtheory]

And if I said 'Jump In The River' she would because it would probably be my idea

Since I'm an 'ideas person'

and she's not

Plus, she smokes too many cigarettes

But I love her cute pretty face and her fuzzy bald head

[AJtheory]

This and "Mandinka" are her best songs

[1976Fiat]

I wish she would tour again, I'd love to see her

[loveismagik]

Who is the pregnant woman of whom we see flashes in this video?

[AJtheory]

That's a dude, and what you are seeing is called couch-beers

[AJtheory]

That's not a preggo; that's a dude with a beer gut....he's the one that tells people to jump in the river

[Mabisatva]

I Loath censorship. I love Sinead. This one video with the jumping cam angels though, reminds me of the Blair Witch Project in that regard - it actually gives me a headache. Not the song! The jumpy camera.

[ItsMeAgainUIdiot17]

I agree actually.

[trinashinead]

this one  sounds like NEW WAVE ^_^

[MissDellaReese]

The edit to the line: "Like the times we DID it so hard, there was blood on the wall", were edited to: "Like the the times I threw you so hard..." instead. The censorship is hilarious.

[slippergirl1]

The woman has it all-beauty,talent,devoted fans and a big compassionate heart.She's really somebody special.

[hojofan]

Hi slippergirl! - I agree with your comment about Sinead!! She's truly gifted and beautiful inside and out. Not to mention being very unique. Hey! It's Kim! Have a great week. I got your PM. I'll send you a PM later. Peace!

[jasontheodosakis]

@slippergirl1 Hey slippergirl, the woman is middle aged now. Where do you see beauty? Have you seen her how she is today?

[slippergirl1]

jasontheodosakis  You must be very young,or you would understand by now that beauty transcends age.Sinead is one of the world's most gifted and lovely women in the world.We forgive her for not being 21 anymore.Much love to the exquisite Sinead,on into the future.

[deathcamps]

by far her best song could listen to it on repeat for at least 24 hours.

[jcmlr1970]

@deathcamps

Same here, such a great songs with awesome lyrics, truly makes me wish to jump in the river when am pissed off!

[deathcamps]

@jcmlr1970

I jumped in the river when I found out I was getting divorced on Halloween many moons ago...in Canada that's very cold water my friend LOL

[cgavin1975]

Great song but this video gives me a headache.

[Biojack]

I'm not a huge fan - i like Sinead ok, and i think she is cool but this is an amazing amazing song....the ending is just too good.

[RabidHummingbird]

too bad this isnt the version with karen finley! who knows where the video would have gone, lol

[AliehsLive]

Yeah, Karen really spiced this song up...to say the least! LMAO

[lleidabizarre]

It's the first time I see this video.... she is so beautiful there.. thanks a lot for posting it!!
