Why would Sinead do this to Junior's song? She actually sounds like she's feeling some serious pain while taking a dump. When people do a cover version, they should aim to make the song better, not worse. This is just dreadful. yeah mi know sey she just a hold a meds a buil a vibes but it nuh mek it.
Surprised to see a couple folk not liking Sineads versions for really ignorant reasons. Do u know she did these song with Sly and Robbie? Does that not give it enuff credence. Oh well, haters gonna hate. This version is all heart. Sorry if you can't hear it.
This is Junior Byles/Lee Perry's song. Love Sinead, but, somehow, this song just doesn't say "Sinead' to me. It is a song for a guy with no shoes, a raggedy head, in a room full of ganja smoke, and no thought of tomorrow. Somehow, it is hard for me to imagine a rock superstar pulling off that vibe.
Painful to sit through. Wow that was bad! What does she think she is doing with this track? She wants to show the rasras how hip she is- total fail- embarrassing!
used the Shazam app on the song "vampire" from this album when I heard it out in town the other day, when it came up sinead o'connor, I thought it was a mistake, I was shocked when I googled it later and still came up as her. After I listened to the original, I still think hers is great. The same song, but two different sounds.
The earliest (and best) version I know is Junior Byles but I cant say I know for sure hes the writer. Jacob Miller sings a good version too and Lee Perry one is not bad.
Then why bother thinking of it enough to write about it? If more people "murdered" reggae tunes, what a great thing it would be. Really good song from a great album.
I'm able to understand written and spoken words. I'm glad you don't make musical, or cultural, rules, or the musical landscape would be dull and the world would be more divided than it is. Reggae artists don't appear to have a problem sharing music.
What a cliche. Perhaps she enjoys the music and liked performing it. Reggae has been around a long time. Many artists have been subtly to strongly influenced by its groovin, soulful rhythms. Everyone should hop upon the reggae wagon, and groove their way to happiness. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, he said (since the cliches were already abounding.)
Imagine this...I'm from Ja grew up hearing these songs on this album for decades and I just finally understand some of the lyrics. It's funny seeing that she from Ireland but I still love these songs all the same.
shes just whispering damn

GOOD music transcends race, religion and gender. Good music will always find its way to the listener, no matter what the origin of that person is.
