  • I thought House of the Rising Sun and Sinead O'Connor.. that's not going to work. Shit how can i have been so wrong. She can sing anything and it sounds amazing. Wow

  • Really not bad. To imagine how to sing this, is not easy. Take a moment to understand the perspective of the person to sing this.

    I came from the version of Joan Baez, which I like, but follow the lyrics,

  • what a voice.

  • Geordies version is better. I dont dig her voice, not saying its bad or anything. Check out Geordies version.

  • a special woman

    with a special voice...

  • Une voix en or ♪

  • Brilliant & very personal version of this great tune !!!

  • @Wyoming108 it's a good cover but no where near as good as the animals. Or led zepplen or the doors or pink floyd or Jimi.

  • This is the greatest version of this classic song, ever sung by a human voice!!

  • Your career is over baby, don't try to poison real art.

    You had a good song, written by Prince.

  • This sucks.

  • @Robert27962 what the hell is wrong with you how can anyone saysuch bull shit about sinead o'connor. she is one of the most amazing singers of all time so just shut up your ythe one who sucks

  • Absolutely BEAUTIFUL..

  • love this

  • this is absolutely Brilliant!

  • Wonder why she chose this version?

  • pure talent. with a capital T.

  • Glad this video has 6 million views! Apart from this video she's so underrated! I love her! She's so unique! :-)

  • What a lovely version of this song. Beautiful voice.

  • Faith is in each soul. No matter belonging to one religion or another. Matters to be good, educated and open to new. Sinead has a beautiful voice and open mind.

  • yes she is wonderful, beautiful vocals

  • Exelente versión con una voz de ensueño.

  • Never fails to give me a chill...

    Unlike the money-rakin' crap the radiostations keep to annoy us with these days, that is actual singing. At it's best I may say.

  • Whatever u like...either a whorehouse or a prison. Just depends on where u get screwed. lol.

  • Much modern; she is awesome singer, but this is boring a lot... :/

  • i could have sworn she just moved

  • Stop fighting people. This song most likely refers to both a whorehouse AND a prison, the exact origins are unclear.

    Relaxing is good for the soul...

  • P-R-I-S-O-N not a whorehouse. House of ruin, put on that ball and chain, get it yet?

  • @1955thekeeper A great song is open to interpretation and doesn't have just one absolute way of reading/experiencing it. True artists understand & appreciate that about such creative works.

  • @filmneye You can interpret dreams, speeches, ambiguous poetry, and the real motives of political leaders, but some lyrics simply leave little doubt as to their meaning. The Norleans Blues Genre uses words and phrasing which are colloquial in nature not unlike Ebonics. To the general public meanings are open to interpretation, but to the locals, the words might as well be etched in stone as to the images they invoke in the mind and as to their meaning as well.Ball & chain is not a wife

  • Просто С У П Е Р ! Може краще і за оригінал.)

  • she's so so so beautiful! like an angel! :-)

  • no matter religion, I love her!

  • I listen Long Time not more a Sinead song. But when i hear this one. I want cry! So slowly and Magic! This Women have more Spirit and Talent that 99% of the famos Singers.

    And i must say, Sorry Miss O'Conner, that i miss your last Koncert in my Town. This will not more happen.

  • still listening in 2012!! !!! I got the mp3 with MelodyQuest . com for free bit.ly\yHNrLk !

  • I hate religion. It was important in medieval times but now we dont need it. It is the reason hy people hate each other and more. I like the song but for me it has nothing to do with religion.

  • I love my religion :) You must be unhappy, please look at manoppello.eu God bless you. Juliusz from Poland.

  • @maszloch Yes . Iam so unhappy that i love myself and my life.. I bless myself

  • The song is about drug and drug abuse.

  • @sinhro1 yeah man :D

  • Lol. My cat's just moved to sit next to the phone to listen to this. Funny little thing. Got to agree with her tho. Sinead's voice is stunning. Beautiful

  • Folks are commenting about why people want to link this song with God. Stay around a bit longer and you will know.

  • @toejoe315 God loves pussy?

  • there is a brothel in new orleans they call the rising sun what a song for a woman to sing ... but a great voice she has .....how ever this has everything to with god as he made us all ....

  • yep yep,...yep

  • WOW! Best version EVER!!

  • IT IS THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL, LOOK INSIDE AND FORGET THE MODELS THAT SOCIETY OS BRAND, ON WHAT IS RIGHT AND NOT CORRECT, THAT THE DESTROYED, BUT HAS BEEN ABLE TO LIFT, AND NOT BE HIDES.

  • people shouldn't read religious messages into this song. its about a house of ill repute...aka, a whore house. when this was written and recorded they couldn't say things about whores and sexual depravation so they masked the subject in subtle and masterful terminology. this has NOTHING to do with GOD...lol. its all about a man's obsession with p*ssy to be honest.

  • She looks sick

    

  • Sinead has the voice of an angel, in whatever religion you believe.

  • @elgimpo1967 Religion is disgusting. Sinead is gorgeous. There is a difference.

  • @elgimpo1967 Too bad she tore a picture of the Pope in half on SNL way back when. If she could keep her music separate from her opinion of religion it would be better

  • what a voice for a irish lady

  • @hellion741 Ah no, sure we call all sing like that over here don't che' know?

  • @supsupese - well duh. who do YOU turn to for redemption?

  • the catholic priest raped so many children

  • @TheMadamTechy Muslim Up!!! Please support the holy spread of Islam! Thanx!

  • I love her voice to this song, i remember my friend had an obssession to Sinead

  • I fell asleep, sorry. This version has no emotion. Grow some hair.

  • @IntertubeTr0ll

    Check the word emotion in the Oxford dictionnary

  • yes... let us have a religious debate on youtube... that'll show them u have a life

  • The only thing a gambler needs is a suitcase and a trunk / and the only time he's satisfied is when he's on a drunk ... Great cover, sez I

  • *than  @LowDoze

  • sounds moe like Cat Power tham Sinead.

  • Beautiful rendition. I wonder what she looks like now

  • wenn ich das lied höre, bekomme ich eine gänsehaut....

  • awsome song

    

  • COMO ERA DE HERMOSA ESTA MUJER, POR LO MENOS CONSERVA SU VOZ

  • can someone please tell me why everyone is talking about god when the song is about a god-damned whorehouse in Louisiana???

  • @supsupese probably because she was raped by a priest when she was a kid.

  • @supsupese This song is about the church of satan started by Anton Lavey...

  • @supsupese I think people are getting stupid due to excessive TV viewing and fast food...

  • @ignaciojork true

  • Comment removed

  • @supsupese idk maybe cuz of when she ripped a pic of pope john paul ii

  • @supsupese ITS THE HEART.

  • Comment removed

  • @supsupese do you believe God "dams" hoooker's/whores/prostitutes? you speak for God now. eh? how very nice. pull the beam from thy eye before you try to remove the splinter from another's. or perhaps you would cast the first stone???

  • Comment removed

  • @supsupese Louisianna whore houses sound like a much more interesting topic. I didn't even read the religeous comments but I'm sure I know what they are about. People need to just let it go.

  • as good as sex n only thing better is both

  • One of the most beautiful songs ever.

  • Ganz großes Danke !!!!

  • What has religion to do with this song? Sinéad has an amazing voice. Just listen, be carried away. Nobody really cares what comes after. I believe in a life before death. There are indeed very few things that are more touching than her singing. There is nothing on this world that shows a sign of the existence of a god. Nothing. But many people believe in him anyway. Want to. Maybe need to. And this girl is singing. Respect both.

    It's just a song.

  • I cant believe you feel the need within your self to actually believe in a higher power eg GOD! Why cant you just accept that upon your death, your worm food, finished, the end, nada, no afterlife of either eternal pleasure or pain.....

  • @1archanglegabriel hmm and you call yourself archangelgabriel in youtube ....

  • I see comments that some wankers put on this site, and my question is why are you here in the fist place? listen to the Fucking music and keep your religiouse and political veiws off a music venue. love sinead or hate her but dont pass judgement ..

  • @killwefish sounds like a hit a sore spot.... good luck with your brats! they must be stressed with you as the team leader. :-(

    Joe Pesci should have SLIT HER THROAT when she tore up the Pope's pic on SNL.... but he's a whop, so he could get revenge on her an ANY time!!!

  • @killwefish thank you for the compliment! Sine-aid will pay for her sins....

  • go away religion

  • @Kaaxe , What do you mean by GO AWAY RELIGION

  • @MegaMoheeb He or she means the main source of hatred in the world is religion,so it should just go away, it causes so much pain. Although i have no idea what this song has to do with religion its actually about a whore house.

  • @ushiuni82 Religion isn't the problem. It's mankinds manipulation, twisting, and warping of it. I get tired of people blaming religion or God for problems they create for themselves.

  • @sd455pontiac Well religion and god are both man made,so you are right mankind is to blame, if we had never created something so preposterous as religion there would be a lot less pain in the world, without these sick little death cults whose members choose to touch kids and blow up innocents by the hundreds, and who have outdated and repressed attitudes. All in the name of god, Religion has no place in the modern world. its for fools

  • @ushiuni82 Like I said before, problems created by man not God. There are individuals/groups that do the things U mention and worse without any reference to God/religion. God isn't doing this nor does it say in ANY religious text to go out and do this in his name. Its their choice because of their carnal/selfish reasons and the institution of religion has nothing to do with it. Anyone who doesn't see or understand this is the fool.

  • @sd455pontiac

    isn't religion man's creation though? and like all things made by man, it is greatly flawed. and not some eternally pure thing that fell from heaven.

  • @expressexpose The "word of God" was given to humanity by either God directly or through a prophet instructed by God to give mankind understanding of spirituality plus direction to keep him from destroying himself and fellow man. So no it's not man made, mans probs are. God gives us free will to make our own decisions to test our souls. Even if you have no religious beliefs, we all know right from wrong and it's a matter of common sense. Man is flawed not religion.

  • @sd455pontiac Amen Brother!

  • @sd455pontiac

    Don't put people on pedestals they don't belong on. Who says it was given in that manner.. A group of imperfect human beings influenced by their own subjective experiences.

  • Comment removed

  • @sd455pontiac

    How is that an argument that religion isn't a human being's subjective interpretation ? What does 'morality' have to do with simple facts? If your judgement/knowledge of the world is so easily influenced by some type of moral code that's been knowingly or unknowingly integrated into your mental system, then good luck with that.....

  • @expressexpose You believe what you wan't and good luck with that.....

  • Such a beautiful voice. Why doesn't she perform anymore? Is it the drugs? Clean yourself up and use the talent you were given to bless others with your voice!

  • dyke who keeps using men only to dump them to boost her career!!!!

    SHE WILL PAY FOR HER SINS!!!! and the Pope won't even be able to save her now!!!!

    there's a broom handle with her anus in its site!!!!

  • @RodMunch247

    Christian? In that case your making a fool of yourself, or just digging your own grave (no offense meant), but if I recall correct Luke 6:37 "Do not jude, and you will not be judge". So maybe there's two broom handles waiting for ye.

    God bless! :-)

  • @MelinaDomils I'm pretty sure God AND Jesus frown on people faking being straight to get PR and then go back to carpet munching.....

    the idea of her eternal damnation for her sins FEELS really truthy.... ya gotta admit that!! :-D

  • @RodMunch247 Sounds a little bit like you just made God less of a awesome being, saying that you think you know how both God and Jesus feels about an other human. ^^ Isn't love the strongest message Jesus wanted to bring to the world. Mark 12:31 "Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these."

    The idea that she may (as in I don't) stand before judgment in front of God on the very last day and be forgiven feels more likely to me, for where is the love in damnation?

  • @MelinaDomils Jesus died for somebody's sins, but NOT hers!!

    In a really classy move, her stalker will tear up HER picture!! and that's AFTER slitting her throat and shoving the broom handle up her rectum!

    that's a sly wink to Sinead tearing up the picture of the Pope on "Saturday Night Live"! Stalkers LOVE irony!!

  • @RodMunch247 So you believe that you know the plan of the almighty God? That you know who will be forgiven in the end of time and who will not? That's called pride, and if I'm not mistaken a mortal sin.

    Don't you see? The anger you express for her is hurting you. If you can't bring acceptance, forgiveness and love in your heart you will be destroyed from within. What gives you the right to sin, but not her?

  • Ofcourse, the FOOL had to go and RUIN yet another classic

  • Irish voices are best !!!

  • Талантливый мышонок !...  ))

  • I know of over 300 "covers" of this song and this is one of the very best

  • <3

  • she rocked that shit!

  • I have never really given this chick much consideration until tonight...this is absolutely fantastic. The last time I felt like this was when I got turned on to Pink Floyd. WOW!

  • LOL. "Sing songs for our pain." Just pop an alleve, dude!

  • Check out the Frijid Pink version of this song ...it's different.

  • The Animals Not The Beatles.

  • gefaellt mir hart!

  • @Asuigeneris1 I shall now quote @MartinGro131 "I doubt that the majority who know and like the animals version know that it's a cover." Read before trolling, 'cause otherwise you look stupid.

  • Sinead for ever the best....

  • Better then Dylan, and the Beatles, but nothings better then the Animals

  • @MCMattV not better than the beatles. its good, but not as good as the beatles. :|

  • @XpeanutttX The Animals... not Beatles :)

  • @PetaLouiza88 thats what im saying, the beatles one is fuckin hilarious! thats why its the best. xD

  • Superb

    This woman can sing

    I've heard many covers of this song and everyone of them brings it's own style

    A classic, timeless track that is easy to play and everyone knows how to sing, that's what it's all about

    Yeah

  • This version is awesome yea, and damn i love it, but Bob Dylans version is much more touching according to me.

  • hedew Sinead O"Connor,very very Fantastic,I Love it

  • urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg

  • Beautiful rendition. Love The Animal's version. Guess that dates me.

  • good by blow sky>>>>

  • beautiful

  • This version is great. It's a completely different take on the tune. A lot more sensitivity than the Animals version. I did an acoustic cover of this tune on my channel. It's my first upload. I would be thankful if you'd give it a listen.

  • I wish I could hear it more clearly -- like the change from "on the run" to "down and drunk." Wish she had done a more female version, though, like Tracy Chapman ("poor girl" etc.)

    I really like it, DANG, why does it have to be so soft at the beginning? She rips at the end!

  • I still prefer the original - the cover isn't bad or anything but I'll stick to the animals.

  • @MartinGro131 Animals version is a cover too, it's an old folk song. And theirs is excellent without a doubt.

  • @MartinGro131 Yes The Animals' version is indeed excellent. But nevertheless a cover too, its an old folk song ;)

  • @0303ARL I doubt that the majority who know and like the animals version know that it's a cover. For me personally the animals rising sun IS the original, all other versions might be OK but the animals will always be the real deal for me.

  • @MartinGro131 agreed

  • @MartinGro131

    The oldest known existing recording is by Texas Alexander, recorded in 1927 for Okeh Records.

    It's a an old English folk song, but the Animals brought it greater exposure...after that it was remade over and over again by so many artists.

    ...would take a full day research all of them. : P

  • @Asuigeneris1 So you can copy and paste wikipedia?

  • @sycamore72

    Why because I bothered to look up the history of the song? LOL

    ...so you can manage petty with little to work with?

    Glad I could help you out there.  ^_^.

  • @MartinGro131 It is for me too, just wanted you to know that it was a cover :)

  • Hmm I never thought someone in my family was famous.I was proved wrong! haha

  • cuando escucho esta cancion creo escuchar a un angel que voz mas dulce(L)

  • Man......how about puttin' her heart and soul into a song!!!!! WOW

  • Somehow I wound up

  • She might just say the name of the song and still make us weep.

  • She might be a little out there. But she can fucking sing...

  • I know this is a day early, but... Happy Birthday, Sinead! Your birthday is so easy to remember because it's the same date as mine, so I had to go ahead and say it. :)

  • Man, This and "Foggy Dew" make me tear up every time I listen to them. Something about her voice is just amazing. Phew!!! Sinead has some pipes on her!

  • @drThunderification agree!!!

  • This reminds me of the song in Dexter when he says something out of profound realisation.... ring a bell anyone?

  • The best ever!!!

  • beautiful music

  • such an erotic haunting voice....

  • Das ist einfach nur geil

  • @emmes23091970 xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

    abgesehen davon,dass ich viel zu stoned bin ist das total lustig!!!

  • I am starting a movement for Sinead O'Connor. WE WANT SINEAD O'CONNOR TO COME BACK!!!! SING SONGS FOR OUR PAIN, SING SONGS FOR OUR LOVE AND SING SONGS BECAUSE WE NEED WORDS TO BE SUNG THAT CANNOT BE SAID. JOIN THE SINEAD O'CONNOR MOVEMENT NOW. Spread this around. We will join hands till we have her back!

  • @Monkeyg2d I've partied, played, and had fun, but never cried until now to this song.

  • @Monkeyg2d no. sing for yourself. You are your own voice and the universe supports that.
