this song tells the tale of Tsoora Shah, who was accused of murdering her husband, after he had beaten and humiliated her for years.

"Who are the ones that are the guilty? / Who are the ones that bear the scar? / We must not leave our sisters bleeding / We sing this song for Tsoora Shah"

This is a great video, maybe you people don't get it. As an Indian I truly get it... the director has done his research!

@TheCasu305 Look up the story of Tsoora Shah. It'll help you understand it.

@InfiniteSpiral112358 Likewise - thanks for being civil! You're right - doesn't happen often online!

[InfiniteSpiral112358]

@jaredbradford (cont 2) you absolutely have the right to your opinion... i do apologize if i made you feel insulted or any such thing. and i have no problem with us agreeing to disagree. i have to say that i respect your responses being clear and non insulting, as that is mostly what happens in anonymous internet sites. i thank you for being someone who can have a differing opinion and yet instead of being rude or insulting you disagreed with integrity. thank you.

@jaredbradford well as i said, to me the video shows and represent all of the thinks that are wrong within a family that is dysfunctional and/or abusive. i do understand that this IS MY interpretation of the video and i am sure that Sinead would want all of us to get from it what we need/want to get from it. i will not argue about your opinion of the video any further, because there is no reason. and to be clear i was NOT insinuating that you "jut didnt get it" or anything.

@InfiniteSpiral112358 I didn't need an explanation. I get the concept. I just think it didn't work. As I said, beautiful song, message, lyrics and, of course, brilliant voice. I just think the video failed in its attempt. Just my opinion - no big deal that we disagree. :)

[InfiniteSpiral112358]

@jaredbradford (cont 2) and instead of being encouraging they stop listening and some even become angry, and then all goes dark (she is silenced again) and she mouths "what happened" not only to her "happy family" but also to represent the painful confusion of growing up in a family like that. it may be simple but the video definitely shows the song's meaning.

[InfiniteSpiral112358]

@jaredbradford well i guess we are going to have to agree to disagree. this song addresses all of the emotions, confusion, pain and unspoken rules of not speaking about a truly dysfunctional to even abusive family life. at first they encourage her to speak/be herself, and they happily dance along happily (keeping up charade) but as it starts to become evident that she is speaking of what it is taboo to speak of they become more and more disapproving and judgmental ...(cont)
