  • Very good movie , brilliant song . Sinead has a beautiful voice, enchanting !!

  • for fear not those who can destroy the body. but fear the One that can destroy the Soul. all justice is not only carried out here.

  • i hope that people realize that though the father dies. he is still redeemed. and those who unjustly accused and imprisoned him did fall.  this is not only a truth in history. it is a warning. a symbolic one.

  • man the movie this song was made for is BRUTAL and what makes it so is that it is TRUE. the song captures it. i felt that movie. do what you will to me. reach at my father and it will be your downfall.

  • Beautiful Sinead ^^ I love you Ireland, hugs from Basque Country :D

  • a beauty whose voice is the instrument that warms the soul when the world has grown cold----she never whored herself to make a buck and stood by her principals---all the while sharing with us the amazing gift of her voice....the anger, sadness and sweetest of sorrows that is conveyed in her voice is haunting but so uniquely her own---thank u Ireland for this rarest of gifts :)

  • great stuff!

    was a fan of her at that time....

  • Whatever burns in her, she makes it burn in me

  • The Irish are strong. We get battered and come back for more. Won't be long till we are back again.

  • This song is so good it HURTS to listen to it.

  • @1959raven actually, the title is "In the Name of the Father", the main song has the same title

  • @1959raven You mean Anglo - Saxons not Brits ! :) the real Brits are Celts ( Scots & Irish people )

  • @Braduta3 don't forget the welsh

  • great song, hauntingly beautiful, makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Also shows how harsh the british were towards the irish in the 70´s and how blind the powers were then just like the civil rights movment in the states in the 60´s, I guess the powers that were believed that ignorance was bliss. great film and a beautiful song

  • there's only a handful of ppl who control the world. don't blame the ppl of england... the are controlled by the same ppl.

  • RIP to pete postlewhaite....had the west belfast brogue exact

  • She donned a yellow wig (?) and hung out on the roof of the hotel with only a blazer and panties on. - Naked Lady Gaga. C0000M - -

  • I read a book by Annie Mcguire that said the movie had a lot of discrifancies/faulsehoods in it. Whoes to say which is right.

  • powerfull song and awesome movie.

  • This song brings me to tears thinking of the shit they went through. Daniel Day Lewis did more to raise awareness in the film role than Gerry Adams could wish to achieve in 5 lifetimes. Day Lewis did it with dignity, humility and respect too.

    R.I.P. Pete Postlewaith, you played a great part in a fantastic film.

  • we dont have oil lol

  • ENGLAND OUT OF IRELAND NOW. ONE OF HER VERY BEST SONGS, SHE'S ONE OF THE BEST WOMEN SINGER'S EVER ON THIS PLANET. SIN FEIN UP THE REPUBLIC.

    RIP Pete Postlewhaite

  • Fuck Northern Ireland and the nationalists and Sinn Fein!!! Long live The Republic Of Ireland.

  • love this song nevertheless the film...gorgeous!

  • People should Google "Operation Steaknife" (Steak Knife). British Intel pretty much ran part the IRA for quite awhile.

  • i love this song and the movie im sorry pete postlewaite died he was such a good actor in the movie

  • im just here for the music, havent seen thefilm yet.

    so many argue about an issue which is now in the past.

    all empires were built on domestic as well as foreign exploitation.

    the uk would be happy to be rid of northern ireland, sadly ireland can not afford it.

    but do you really want that so-called "loyalist" scum in your country ????

    stop moaning about the past, and come up with a solution to your problem

  • @eamonosu I watched It a long time ago. It`s a good piece of work :-)

  • start an entourage this country is on the brink of 1916 all over again we will never be free never.prison or no prison n ireland should be made ireland and anyone who dont like it get out.

  • pete r.i.p may god have mercy on your soul

  • when ur slagging off 'England' bear in mind it's the English GOVERNMENT & they've also sh*t on the majority of the ENGLISH people since time began

  • just saw the movie for like the billion time ..... Éirinn go Brách (Ireland forever) !!!!

  • This film is heartbreaking! Daniell day was remarkable in his role of Jerry Conlan and told the truth of a horrible injustice to all people involved,

  • great song, so talented and misunderstood. Success had made a failure out of her.

  • song of my childhood................

  • I love my country

    I hate my government

  • muy buena peli y hermosa canción, por los derechos humanos, no más

  • "And,of the TRUTH"

  • Great song, one of her best. Cheesy-ass video though, lol.

  • It’s another example of English oppression of the Irish for over 700 years.

    England had introduced its convicts to N. Ireland to be Irish landlords. The troubles that erupted in N. Ireland in the 1960s (as depicted in the video) were never about religion); they were still about basic human rights for the true Irish people (mostly Catholic). In 1960 they were still being deprived of jobs and oppressed by those of English/convict origins (mostly Protestant).

    Éirinn go Brách (Ireland forever)

  • Niesamowity film i piosenka Sinead, mam ciarki jak ją słucham i przypominam sobie ten film.

  • I spent one week in jail for something I did wrong. It was hell enough for me, and that was just jail!

    I can't imagine 15 years in a prison for something you didn't do.

  • this was one of the best movies. everybody did a great job, too bad its based on truth. no one should go thru that ever.

  • WOW...!

  • I still remember the last scene. I`m not guilty and I`m going to go out through the front door

  • IRELAND IS ONE COUNTRY. ENGLAND GET OUT .

  • @MrVampiredog Get a grip You fighting your battle or some ones elses ......

  • @MrVampiredog Grow Up

  • @MrVampiredog I am an Irishman, and I too would like to see a united Ireland. But what you do not seem to understand is that England is no longer in Ireland. The people who live in the North are also Irishmen, and if a majority of them want to remain within the UK, they have the right to do so. If, later, a different majority decide to apply for inclusion within the Republic, they too have that right. It's known as democracy. Kicking people out is something totalitarian regimes do.

  • @MacEoin SORRY OLD CHAP FOR GETTING YOU UPSET. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT MY COMMENT YOU WILL SEE 77 PEOPLE AGREE WITH ME. SO WHATS UP WITH YOU ? ARE YOU REALLY A IRISHMAN ?

  • @MrVampiredog Did you notice my name? By the way, 77 supporters is rather sad. Even if a million agree with you, there is a simple question of international law. Oh, and the fact that the Republic no longer wants the six counties. And I will repeat that it's pointless to shout 'ENGLAND GET OUT' when the English got out long decades ago. If you want to kick the Irish out of Ireland, a lot more than 77 people will want to have words with you.

  • @MrVampiredog 78 with me ;)

  • @MrVampiredog well said, my celtic brother. Best regards from Aztec lands to our Irish brothers, who helped Mexico during its darkest hour against the yankee invaders.

    Long live Ireland! Erin Go Bragh! ¡Que viva México!

    God bless you, laddie!

  • @collantes9 THANKS MY AMIGO BROTHER . TO ALL MEXICANS I SAY LOVE TO YOU.

  • @MrVampiredog Have it you dumb cunt

  • @MrYorkyporky NOW MUST WE USE MEAN WORDS, O CHAP.

  • @MrVampiredog England sucks!

  • FUCK OFF F>B>I YOU TUBE :)

  • I have a list of my all-time favorite films - this one is always in it. And one of the most haunting soundtracks. The scene in which this song plays makes me cry. Much love and respect to you Ms. O'Conner. I knew you would be exonerated.

  • I had forgot about this song.Thank God for Youtube.Incredible voice! This will be going on to my playlist!

  • Let crap slip by huh? I love how it's so easy to just blame the blimey yankees for everything. I forgot, where did the first two world wars start? Boston right? Oh.......

    Song kicks ass, one of me favourite movies. DDL!

  • Written by Bono and Gavin Friday ,beautiful song, and one of ny favourite films,In The Name Of The Father

  • Great song.

    Great movie...until I realised alot of it isn't feckin accurate! I don't know why they did that. They've done the same with Michael Collins and Veronica Guerin. Such a shame. I won't ever watch it again.

  • One of the most beautiful songs ever written....

    xsx

  • Comment removed

  • Nice juxtaposition for the movie... But most of her songs are about her failed relation with whoever I dont know about

  • "In the name of the father": wonderful film, really, great.

    Good song and video, too!

  • powerfull movie.. powerful song

    5 stars

  • hope for justice...

    hope for everyone.....without justice!!!

  • Sinead made a good art work with her songs .

    Her generous attitudes let you understand how important is to be faithful and worship the culture of its country.

  • Such a beautiful, powerful and direct-to-the-heart song! Really thanks for posting this... quality in video is st we can overgo now... let me express this is one of my favourite ones... what I like is hard rock and progressive, some metal, as well, but this got some soul... a beautiness that only compares to Sinead!

  • ANZAC day is April 25th and is celebrated in both australia and new zealand. its for when we landed in gallipoli in turkey under british command and ultimately was a disaster

  • the police that were responsible for this miscarriage of justice should have been put on trial and sentenced to a long stretch in prison..hopefully somewhere along the way karma will be seen to be done...

  • yea we canadians did our bit, hit pretty hard for a colony i'd say.

    the end of wwii is like our anzak day, or whatever they call it in newzealand when they celebrate the dardanelles

    personnally i dont know why we bothered, when so many nazis just ended up state side through project paper clip.

  • I like the bit in the middle when Sinead dons on her hood and does a "Scottish Widows" ad.

  • Getting away from high schoolers debating , and I use that term very reluctantly, this is a superb song, from a superb film.

  • Like i said before; OVER IT. carry on, if you'd like - but i know what i'm talking about. My uncle walked out of Germany with a nazi paratropper's belt for a souvenir. What do you have - nothing but tall tales. Don't hate - appreciate.

  • I never said anything about elite. Just determined. At that point, we were at our pinnacle. We liberated the netherlands, and played our part. Ever look into why backpackers wear canadian flags and crests in europe? Hitler was TIME magazine's man of the year once. Thats an american publication; so america let a lot of crap just 'slip' by. Canada was the only country not directly attacked at any point during that clusterf**K and we still found our way into the thick of things.

  • Canada has a army, that news to me.

  • If you ever visit Canada, watch out for Scott...

    He's a DICK

  • Peace out people. Lets try to be nice to one another.

  • America had to be coerced into helping out during the war. I have aunts and uncles that left Canada before we declared war to fight alongside the British. The US basically helped sweep up. Canadian forces had to slow down during the invasion of Normandy because American and British forces were unable to keep up.

  • I like how you try and make it sound like Canadian forces were so elite lol. Give me a fucking break. Canada contributed next to nothing compared to countries like Britain, USA, and especially Russia.

  • And i'm "BRITISH" so we won world war II with the Help of "AMERICA"!!

  • Its a really good song!!

  • RJHolmes you're a dickhead. I'm Canadian and Canadians burned down the first White House because Americans tried to invade our land. History likes to repeat itself. Watch your mouth

  • I'm British and we won WORLD WAR II with the help of America!!

  • yes ,and also you give Hitler free hand to take over Czechoslowakia and the rest of Europe....

  • We tried to stop him though and we did with the help of the USA!!

  • ok ok

    learn something about modern history ...

    then make a comment on youtube...

  • Mookadada - You are aware right that this movie is about people wrongfully accused of being IRA terrorists and in no way glorifies paramilitarism right? No I didn't think so. So shut the fuck up you clueless American cock.
