32yrs later, and I still think this is the best music video ever made. Her eyes show the emotion, and pain of heartbreak.

[@2869may]

Check out "Stay" from Sugarland (country)

[@noahcasa7917]

💯 this song even made babies cries

[@MrJeepman76]

Also "Monsters" by James Blunt is another good one

[@willwozniak2826]

Ohhhh Yurrrr!!!!

[@scninja07]

It’s a great video but it’s no “Take on Me” by A-Ha😁

[@mediascribble]

There is no doubt in my mind that Sinead didn't find the song, the song found her. There is no one who can perform this song better. No one.

[@erlindaolsson]

Yes that's true 100% agree!!!❤

[@elysium619]

The song, the melody, her stunning voice, her pained face, all imparted grief, a desperate longoing, emptiness. It was astonishing that you smiled throughout.

[@patrickmichels7888]

She was smiling but you can see the angst

[@elenapatrick8116]

This video is so simple yet so powerful. It’s literally just her face. But her face is so expressive, and her eyes feel like they look right into your soul. She does such an amazing job conveying the emotion. Prince wrote the song but Sinead will forever own it.

[@adaddinsane]

64 year old guy here - after 30 seconds I'm in tears. This performance is perfection.

[@matthiasmeinert-kreiten379]

😢😢 Rest in Peace, Sinead O'connor.

[@matthiasmeinert-kreiten379]

That's the Song of her life 😢

[@IamCurrentlyAscending]

"you see her sing...and god damn", yep, that pretty much sums it up. It's just perfect.

[@michaelthomas8592]

This video does't need anything but Sinead's face! As you analized, verdy... It's one of the most beautiful songs ever...

[@Hollowsmith]

Her eyes are absolutely captivating. That saying "the eyes are the window to the soul". Sure is true with Sinead.

[@MrSinnerBOFH]

Sinéad O’Connor is one of the greatest female vocalists! She feels every second!

[@andreasekman2176]

Very nice pronounced.....You got it. Sadly she's not with us no more...Another star in the sky....R.I.P Sinèad 😢

[@unknown24242424]

Greatest review, Sinead was the best.

[@davidspalten1304]

Prince wrote this song for another artist. Sinead recorded this version years later, shortly after her mother died, and drew upon her grief, which you so accurately sensed in your reaction. And anyone whose gone through a rough breakup will feel exactly what she's saying. This one always moves me.

[@dougoneill7266]

Written for one of Prince's other projects, 'The Family'

[@deniseadams1703]

Sinead was estranged from her mother and alleged a lot of childhood abuse. She did not record this song to honour or lament her mother’s passing.

[@dougoneill7266]

@@deniseadams1703 Sinead didn't write this song. Prince did.

[@stevenjones618]

@@dougoneill7266 i think she knows that. She said she recorded it. Not wrote it

[@jathygamer8746]

I always wondered about this, so I just looked up a video when Prince sings it at Paisley Park and he says "All the flowers you planted, baby, in the backyard" "Baby" or "babe" instead of "mama". Maybe Sinead was sad that she didn't have a good mother not that she lost an abusive mother. ✌

[@thelolguy007]

Your face at 2.32 that’s me listening to Sinead sing. It just consumes you. She gets inside you. One of the best vocalists we’ve ever had. RIP 🙌

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

Sinead was never one to hide. Others would have long shots or gimmicky movement to hide behind, but Sinead wanted to share who she was with her audience.

[@paulwood5803]

One of the most emotional and beautifully performed songs ever recorded. Prince was a genius and Sinead just got this absolutely spot on. I cannot imagine ever hearing a better version.

[@stevebennett9750]

The late Chris Cornell's live recording is a tie for me.

[@MrJocky82]

Yeah? Chris Cornell did it better.

[@ThePereubu1710]

@@MrJocky82 That's a matter of taste. I far prefer O'Connor's vocal delivery to Connel's which I find far too "C&W" for my ears. The sheer originality of O'Connor's vocals place her version far above his. But, as I say, it's a matter of taste ;)

[@MrJocky82]

@@ThePereubu1710 exactly bud. That's the beauty of music, and are in general. It's all down to personal interpretation.

[@tomsimmonds9237]

Paul Dempsey does an amazing acoustic cover, well worth taking the time to have a listen

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

That last shot of her. She has tears in her eyes. This is a song about deep heart break 💔 😢

[@dianegardner3584]

I’m loving this song being played by umpteen DJ ‘S,This is the 8th rendition up to now,I loved it back then and even more now.RIP Sinead xx

[@raystevens2380]

She will been missed so much it's unbelievable true emotional singer's don't come round very often it's only when they pass you realise "RIP❤❤❤❤❤

[@dougoneill7266]

Sinead (Shin aid) has endured more than a bit of trouble in her time but lately seems to have found some peace. I'm so happy for her. Massive, under appreciated talent. She is often maligned by the media and people who just don't matter.

[@MM-pl5ed]

beautifull reaction, it was so magical. thank you so much for this upload!

[@DJ-bj8ku]

The tight shot emphasizes her stark beauty, the power of her voice and the range of emotions. She’s also disembodied which is a subtle expression of her fragmented emotional state. She’s not feeling whole. At 5:11, the brief capture of her gaze off screen, to me, captures her loss. It’s stunning.

[@stevedickie9319]

i just want to hug her so much

[@bobm3434]

Troy is an absolute masterpiece by her.

[@caribbeanman3379]

Fans be singing this at Dimash's funeral 60+ years in the future.

[@michaelbrinley8865]

Her mother died a couple of weeks before they recorded the video,so i think the tears are real..

[@AncientHermit]

This track was on heavy rotation on the radio while I was having to work through a newly dead relationship. Between those two things life tore the heart clean out of me. Now I live alone, and I can hear this without the devastation of that time. Now I live by the lyrics mostly, and see anyone I care to (rare, by choice) and do whatever I might please to without falling foul of the law. Being alone is a totally fine life choice, but they never tell you that when you are young.🤔 Anyway, superb track, thanks for choosing to listen to it, thanks for the video.👍 Be well.😉

[@sasapejcin3568]

Her face and voice are amazing!

[@tonyporenshenko425]

I could never get tired of this song

[@r1p2m32]

Prince, Sinead, when alive and/or sane, a quality of their own. Unsurpassed.

[@r1p2m32]

1985, 1990. When they still had a brain to sing.

[@michellelama2119]

It's an Irish name x I grew up in Ireland. 3 year's older than sinead. And went through her hell too. She was my hero x

[@grege.2113]

so love your reactions you are so cool

[@KMSETTE1966]

That song makes me tear up every time. 😢 Powerful. 😍

This is one of those songs that makes you wanna drive into a lake... Beautiful! 😋

[@Meine.Postma]

Troy is another classic from her

[@markharrls81]

I cried when I first heard this song…I was going through some pretty tough stuff back then…

[@dsanford12]

It truly is a beautiful song 🥂

[@RocketJr.]

When this came out i was a young boy and tryed not to cry to this because boys don't cry but she cut her hair for this video i think and can remember some girls were so amazed by this song they wanted to cut their hair that short. 😸 She is/was really beautiful and some also thought she was crazy to cut her hair like that. Björk did it too i think...

[@mrnobody9104]

I believe anyone who ever listened to her do this song had the exact same reaction as you did! Your in good company young lady...Salut

[@angels9320]

I like reactions in which the person reacting is not posing for the camera, but rather truly enjoying it.

[@franckb8279]

So emotional cover of Prince's song. What a beautiful voice she has. Love Sinnead.

[@catherinedezso6086]

I read Sinead was channelling the grief from her traumatic childhood. Thats one courageous woman. Rip Sinead

[@rk41gator]

You are right....SHEE-NAAD. I did not realize how Ms. O'connor changed the focus and meaning of the song to something universal, tender, vulnerable and defiant. She (and Phil Collins) can really MAKE you feel the emotion. Understand the angst they feel through the lyrics, as few can. Sadly, Poignantly Brilliant.

[@BadDubII]

Shi-naid

[@davidfaulds2960]

Sinead's mother died when she was 18, which is why she reacted the way she did when she sang the mama verse of the song.

[@_Shadoh_]

All the loneliness and breakup sadness in the world packed into one song. Can't ever listen without getting emotional, but love it since it came out. She absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one.

[@Lumperator]

I think it's the most poignant and sad love song ever. It's hard not to cry.

[@randalladams7692]

I cry everytime prince wrote this for her she sounds like an angel very beautiful song love your channle your cool to hang with keep rocking

[@vjamie69]

You said it right!

[@brandy012173]

The message was ‘one on one’. Very personal. If there was something that ONLY ONE PERSON could UNDERSTAND it, coming from YOU. Her face is a closeup because she is talking to only one person. AND THATS WHY WE ALL LOVE THE SONG. Because we all have something we can only say to one person, OR WISH WE COULD. ❤

[@rk41gator]

The evocative images are of Paris. I read she said she had no plan, no idea that a tear would come; but as it came she just went with it. So emotionally powerful.

[@danielmcguinness4036]

[@peterramsay4674]

You can feel her pain. Her angst. That feeling of being rejected and having regrets. Powerful emotions that at one time in our lives we have experienced. Like the world came to an end.

The video to this was directed by John Maybury who was my best friend when we were kids, we lived in a small town near London called Waltham Cross. We've lost touch now we were friends till we were about eleven then he moved away.

[@slowbluesmaster]

Never better! I've seen untold covers, but this is the one that, having played it too many times, still chokes me up.

[@joescott8877]

You, having heard her for thirty seconds: "Oh. Wow. She has a really, really good voice." Me, having heard that voice for thirty years: Understatement of the year, lol! Yeah, she's borderline MAGICAL! Her live performances are spellbinding. Just one example: "I am stretched on your grave" (the Sergio SPBR channel version) is absolutely mesmerizing to both eye and ear.

[@JERRYBRISENO]

When she recorded this video. Sineads' mom had very recently passed away. So when shes singing about the flowers in the backyard, she thought of her mom and that's why she started crying in the video. Great video from one of the best vocalists out there.

[@richspeel7576]

This one hits hard 🔥🍸

[@lewiewanie]

Prince wrote this song in 1984. Sinead O’Connor did this cover version in 1990. It went to no.1 in the UK charts and no.1 in 18 other countries. She tweaked the script slightly to make it a female version. The part she had tears in (All the flowers you planted, Mama, in the backyard) was thinking about her mum, who died in a car crash three weeks before. She had a very difficult life with her mum, and wanted to forgive her, but it was too late. All the other lyrics of this song (written by Prince) wasn’t about her life. She chose this song because she loved it herself. You pronounce her name “Shin-aid”

[@filmsensei]

Loved your reaction. I like how you try to even guess why they filmed it the way they did. Does she not have the most luminous eyes ever? She was breathtaking. New subscriber here:)

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

This will blow you away!

[@mharris7380]

The shots that were shown in the instrumental break were supposed to make up most of the video but when they watched the footage of the close up of her face it had such an effect on the team that they knew they had to make the video with just the close up of her face. But as they had spent all the time and money making the shots of her walking through the gardens they settled on putting them in the instrumental break.

[@johntaphouse5235]

yup it is "shin aide".. a beautiful soul, this always makes me blubber, a perfect requiem

[@ronbock8291]

They didn’t plan the video this way, they planned to use the closeup sparingly, and use more of the other footage, but her performance was so genuine and powerful the flipped it.

[@visaman]

I saw Sinead O'Connor at Lollapalooza '95, in Vancouver. It was her first tour in her comeback. She was nervous, but gave a great performance. She had grown her hair out a bit, and I didn't recognize her at first.

[@9senna]

Tak Sinead jest cudowna, brzmi jak anioł. To wykonanie + teledysk to czysty brylant. Ale ... słuchając jej mój zachwyt - dla tej piosenki, jej wykonania, cudownego głosu Sinead - który brzmi jak anielski, syreni, dla piękna tej twarzy - tak wrażliwej, odważnej i pełnych bólu oczu - więc mój zachwyt miesza się z udręką i ogromnym smutkiem, który wychodzi przez jej aniskie oczy wprost do mojego serca. I deledysk i piosenka są niebezpiecznie hipnotyzujące, ale kocham je.

[@argantyr5154]

Sinéad O'Connor used to have long beautiful hair. The Record company wanted to have her look in a certain way. "They wanted me to grow my hair really long and wear miniskirts and all that kind of stuff because they reckoned I'd look much prettier," she says. "So I went straight around to the barber and shaved the rest of my hair off."
