I remember they wrote this about the little kid Jamie Bulger, after he was taken from his mother and killed by 2 older boys in Liverpool. It happened just up the road from where I used to live. I can't listen to this song without feeling incredibly sad...
film was ,silent cry, about a mother whose baby was swapped for a stillborn, who was due to be adopted for money ,and stolen the film is based on a true story you'll be happy to know the child is returned to his mother after the dr involved confesses. good film.
Hey does anyone know what film this soundtrack is from, i know this song is in a soundtrack of a very good film, i need to know the name of the film anyone please? :)
Actually some took the lyrics as the woman was having an abortion as being selfish. 9 months is too long to carry a baby to term for someone to adopt.Actually Dolores never dismissed the idea about this song being about abortion. She was even quoted in a March magazine called Townhall Magazine as being anti-abortion(pro-life) as most Irish are:)
Ha, they even quoted lyrics from this song to back up her opinion.Maybe Dolores wrote it for both issues.
Yes, Dolores wrote the song about that terrible incident. Shame as children that young influenced by hate and evil.
Most people thought this was an anti-abortion song which it can be read that way too I guess. It was named one of the 50 top conservative songs for that reason. They didn't know the reason behind the song. Sad as those boys I am sure are already free as not adults at time it happened.
I'm not saying that isn't true, i don't know the details, but don't forget that Wikepedia is an unreliable website because anyone can post stuff on there
This song is one of the most beautiful and chilling songs ever written...as a kid, I would listen to this and be transfixed with horror, and yet not be able to turn it off, due to the beauty of Ms. O'Riordan's voice....
i have a copy of that concert, you should have one, she's so amazing as well as the other 3 guys,1 have watched it 200+ times and still watching it occasionally.
Thats not true actually ,look up the wikipedia.They kidnapped him, tied him to a railway track with some sort or rubber and he was run over with a train.'threw painting and bricks at his face'he was kicked and hit and covered with model paint.
It's such a horrific murder and the fact the fact the murderers were only 10 years old just shows you how fucked the world is now.
You could be right. But it could be "9 months is too long to wait, just for a baby to live 2 years". And i don't think you'll read about an abortion in the papers.
actually in my country it happened often, it was sad :( to read all that crap that people did, but well, no problem, as I wrote before, thank you so much for the info. 'cause I didn't know it and now I know the real reason for this deep song :D, Peace for you
It's not abut abortion, its about 2 little kids in the Uk that kidnapped a toddler and tied him to train tracks, obviously the killed him, it's a very tragic story.

@1quid50 its about abortion
prankster1590 1 year ago
@prankster1590 it may relate to a lot of things, but it was primarily written about the Bulger case, I believe.
1quid50 1 year ago
@1quid50
I don't know. Maybe so but at 1:54 she says that 9 months is too long. That's a clear reference to abortion.
But the Bulger case was really terrible.

The murder of James Bulger. Two boys took James away, kicked, threw painting and bricks at his face, and as a result of all this, killed him.

You could be right. But it could be "9 months is too long to wait, just for a baby to live 2 years". And i don't think you'll read about an abortion in the papers.
