She's wearing a black turtleneck, standing against a black background, wearing minimal makeup, shaved head. She wants you to focus on her voice, the music, the song. She was very beautiful back then, she doesn't want you distracted by her beauty. Catch her live video, it's great.

[@gregbrogan9061]

I saw an interview where she was saying that the original vid concept wasn't going to be so solely focused on her, She didn't say it directly but it was clear she just had the filmers mesmerised by her and they kept the focus on her.

[@starlord5032]

Agreed, Sinead O'Connor is an absolutely incredible vocalist. This is a cover song but she pretty much made it her own, this is a masterpiece of a song.

[@HonRevPTB]

It's not a cover, no one else sang it prior to her, it was just written by someone else, Prince!

[@berdnikov]

@@HonRevPTB Actually it was recorded and released on an album by The Family, a group on Prince's Paisley Park label, before this version was recorded.

[@vickiejenkins-tripp5994]

If I'm not mistaken, it was written by Prince and he gave her to record. It was recorded by Prince but never released until 2018.

[@TCulmsee]

@@vickiejenkins-tripp5994 You are absolutly right, But it was not Prince himself, given it to her. It was his manager, who later on became Sinead's manager. Prince started singing his version live, after Sinead became famours with the song. Prince never wanted Sinead to sing it, because he did not like her attitude. When he first met her a few years later, they got in to a real fight, and Sinead must ran to the next door neighbor. Sinead's version was number 1 on Top 100 song chart in 1990.

[@harrynac6017]

If you like her voice, listen to "Troy". That song she wrote herself. Listen to it without interruptions, because it's building up. Her voice is unearthly good in that song.

Sinéad O'Connor rocked the world with this song, all the way back in 1991. You guys are amazing, and especially you Kae, for reaching out to her about her low self-esteem and you'd talk her back to health again. Amazing. Everybody has heartbreaking losses (if you never have, please contact me: I'd love to meet someone who's escaped this hail of bullets.) and we need songs like this for those times.

[@gregbrogan9061]

Ireland has a tough history of oppression, great hunger, emigration, etc... and Irish are extremely musical. One thing I think Irish do probably better than anyone is to express deep, deep sorrow in a uniquely haunting Irish way. You can really hear that in Sinéad's vocals... She is ripped apart, and crying out but still so incredibly beautiful with an Irish lilt.

[@geminix5845]

She got crazy popular after performing this song (written by Prince). Then, on SNL (Saturday Night Live), in protest to all of the children abused by priests in the Catholic church, she tore up a picture of Pope John Paul II. Everyone turned on her and it killed her career. There's another video of her performing with Kris Kristopherson. When she came out on stage the entire crowd booed her. She stood defiant, sang a different song called War, then broke down on her way off stage as Kris held her. She had a troubled life growing up, abused by her mother, and after this her life basically fell apart. She says she has bipolar disorder. Married four times, addicted to marijuana for 30 years, attempted suicide. Converted to Islam in 2018. As of a week ago, November 10, 2020 she said she's entering a year long rehab and postponing her 2020 concerts. "This year I lost someone beloved and has affected me so badly that I became briefly addicted to a drug other than weed."

She was ahead of her time regarding the sexual abuse. Nobody listened and it turns out she was right. I hope she gets the help she needs👍🙏

She didn't open up about this song for the longest time, like pretty much until very recently, and her mom was mentally ill, and very very abusive to her, and she said of her mother that she ran a "torture chamber" and also sexually abused her. Despite all of the horrific abuse at her mother's hands, she said that she loves her mother (who was killed in a car accident when she was 19) and forgave her. I'm sorry that you lost your mom, you're very young, and my heart goes out to you. Love your videos! Keep up the good work.
