[@Cath1027]

This beautiful talent passed away today. 3 hours ago it was announced. RIP Sinéad Ireland 🇮🇪 has lost a beautiful kind soul. You’re now with your son. You were vocal about wanting to be back with him. You are now. So sad only 56, what a tortured life you lived with such a talent and so much love 💔💔💔

[@lynneforsyth8231]

The whole world has lost a beautiful, talented and stand out activist..such an horrendous loss. God bless her..never forgotten xx

[@Cath1027]

@@lynneforsyth8231 it was beautiful to see the response worldwide. She was really loved. She was an activist for all wrong doings. She had a heart of gold. A huge loss to everyone. Each memorial service in Ireland since her passing has being about her being such a fantastic activist. She was so strong yet so vulnerable. RIP Sinéad

We as a society failed Sinead. After SNL, she was the first woman cancelled!! No one really spoke much of her except to make fun of her. Sinead was so brave, strong, fragile, beautiful and right about everything she said!

She made it uniquely her own.. she broke your heart when you listened to her sing it... That is a very very rare and ordained gift.. It's not lightly given or lightly received and it reforms something in you

[@lizturner267]

This came out in the days of Madonna and M.J. As the “video” stars and this blew us all away. One of the best songs Prince wrote and one of the best videos ever produced. RIP dear soul, I hope you’ve found the peace that’s always evaded you.

[@distractedwriter100]

Oh honey. Been grieving the passing of this talented soul. You are also beautiful reacting to her. Bless you. 👏🏼👍🏼💕You we're totally silent, and yet it was a perfect reaction.

[@StonefieldJim4]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for not pausing! I'm sick of tired of people not actually listening to the records, and making the videos all about them.

[@bannockmuncher]

What Sinéad did to this song is like what Whitney did with 'I will always love you- Dolly Parton.. or KD Lang did with Hallelujah- Leonard Cohen these ladies epitomized those songs. Prince, Dolly Parton and Leonard Cohen knew their song were forever changed and praised these ladies openly.

[@Asti.sayAhstee]

O’Connor spoke her mind and put herself in a position of controversy many times, including shaving her head. This reaction, JM, certainly expanded your territory in music history & culture. 👊

[@ckexpresso]

Truly a masterpiece in pop music. ❤

May she rest in power

[@Triggerhippie70]

I was 20 years old when this song came out and let me just say this is a brilliant song, obviously written by friends, who I was obsessed with back in the day. But this is also a brilliant video just the black backdrop with her beautiful face, those amazing eyes and her shaved head it was very impactful.

[@kittenklub1964]

Ireland is mourning our lost daughter💔R.I.P. Beautiful Sinéad💚 Sinéad was a force of nature - fearless but also fragile. She was shunned for speaking the truth by the 'music industry'/media who relentlessly criticised her. However she was proved right in the end....even if it took 2 decades. But the damage already took it's toll on her & her precious son's death was too much to bear. I hope she's finally at peace with her boy Shane🖤Codladh sámh☘

Even with all the great classic rockers you've done, sometimes it's a woman that can make you feel her passion stronger than any instruments could ever achieve. The simplicity of this song goes deep into your soul.

[@annicegrundy5307]

This song was massive when I was a teenager in the 1980s …..great time to be a teenager!! She has said in interviews that when she closes her eyes singing this song she thinks about her mother. Have you listened to music by Paolo Nutini, he is amazing. Also Richard Ashcroft is worth a listen.

The news just announced Sinead O'Connor passed away at 56 years old.

[@angierucinski5694]

RIP Sinead, out performing Prince at his own song.

[@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 17 other countries. She tweaked the script slightly to make it a female version. The part she had tears in (All the flowers that you planted, Mama, in the backyard….) was when she was thinking about her mum in that moment, who died in a car crash in 1985. Three weeks before that accident, Sinead wanted to forgive her Mum for all the abuse she gave her. She had a very difficult life with her mum, and wanted to forgive her, but it was too late. All the other lyrics in this song (written by Prince) wasn’t about her life. She chose this song because she loved it herself.

[@maxbluenose25]

RIP precious Angel . I love her version of this song it is more heartfelt especially because she was pouring out her feeling toward her abusive mom after she passed away in a car accident when Sinéad was a young. What sucks is that her dad turned out to also abuse her . This is why she was a strong voice and went after Child Abusers😢🦋❤🙏

👍 I never knew that.

[@angelskunk2206]

You read my mind. Was gonna say she may or may not have been in pain but Prince wrote those words ❤

[@ellend3512]

The song was an inspiration to her abusive mother who died in a car accident in 90. It meant so much that she actually cries in the song. The song was written by Prince, but she became popular with the song. Just love this Beautiful Woman and song. I can see the pain in her eyes 😢❤️ Today, she has converted to Muslim, and has found the peace in her life that she has been missing.

[@ellend3512]

@@angelskunk2206she vas in pain. Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor covered the song in 1990 on her album I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, and the song quickly became a hit. The single topped the charts worldwide, including in the UK, US and Australia. "Nothing Compares 2 U" is a song written by Prince for The Family, a funk band formed to get more of his music out. The band's debut album The Family was released in 1985, but the song was not released as a single and was not widely known .

[@angelskunk2206]

@@ellend3512 yes I know. I was 18 yrs old in 1985 so I know the song and the story. I also saw her rip the photo of the Pope in half on SNL and get herself cancelled before getting cancelled was a thing. I do remember that I was driving home from working a late shift the first time I heard this song and I was so captivated by the desperate sadness of it and the haunting beauty of her voice that I had to pull off the road to listen to it. I was simply stating that the song was written by Prince 👍🏻👊🏻✌🏻

As others mentioned, the song was written by Prince. Sinead has said in an interview that when she sings the song she thinks of her mother, who died in a car accident. Her mother had been a violent person and had physically abused her when she was a child, and making the music video was a cathartic experience.

[@armyfirefighter]

I was in High School when Sinèad hit the whole world with this. I know everyone says this is Prince’s song. But there are certain covers - like Dave Draiman doing Simon and Garfunkel and Bad Wolves doing the Cranberries and Johnny Cash doing Trent Reznor - where the original artist basically says this song is theirs now. This is one of those. Prince gave it to her to sing. And I think he totally approved of what she did. That said - what I would not give for Sinèad to do this song now with Lzzy Hale and Amy Lee - two of this generations best female voices. Three voices of a kind…

[@kaula300]

Prince did not give this song to her to sing, he hated when people covered his songs. The record label gave her permission to record the song because they still owned the masters and publishing to all of his music.
