[@FungusMossGnosis]

Nobody thought her protest of Catholic Church child sex abuse was cowardice. They reacted as they were told to by authorities that is was blasphemy, because they'd rather worship some weird old Nazi man in an ornate dress than listen to the God they claim to understand. The vast majority are moral cowards when they run in packs.

[@loosilu]

A lot of people owed her a lot of apologies that she never got.

[@brentgabel3660]

I don't think the world thought it was cowardice but rather the world (not the world but the media and those reading/viewing the media at the time) just didn't know how to deal with it. I can't imagine the outcry/negativity and hatred if that SNL episode happened in the day of social media without any context. At the end of the day, her voice and music should be her legacy, not any perceived controversial actions. One of the best voices ever.

She improved after you wrote this but she has slipped backwards a bit recently after a dear friend of hers passed away. She is now, finally, getting the emotional help she has so greatly needed. None of this means she has "lost her mind" as you said. It makes her human!

A real Irish artist, like Dolores and many more. This is so heart-wrenching, but so cleverly written about when Ireland was invaded by the British, described in a metaphor as a young couple, the Irish being a young girl who was in a relationship with a British soldier and fell pregnant with him, and he walked away and left her alone heartbroken. ( the official video depicts this, this live version just reflects her pain and heartbreak so much )

"She criticised child abuse within the Church but did not have the guts to name the homosexual fifth column within the clergy as the perps." " criticised" what did you expect her to do to stay silent about the abuse, btw it's never been just the abuse of boys, it's child sex abuse it wasn't committed only by homosexuals, girls were molested by the Clergy as well. You talk as though you think rape is sex, it's violence. She believed in religion inculcated into it by family, maybe you don't know that the 3 abrahamic religions all stem from one, it does and one who think they're better than the other two, a myth they created, she believed so she sought peace in the wrong place, religion.

This song breaks my heart as an Englishman. And the reason why it does is because it doesn't strike me as a love song from an abused Irish woman to her hard English boyfriend... ...but from the battered Republic of Ireland to the hard United Kingdom. From Sineaed's country to mine. Our two countries are mostly fond of each other, there's a lot of love between our peoples, but... let's just say that we, the British have fone a fair amount orf bad things to the Irish for many centuries and we, the British, tend to gloss over it or forget it ever happened. Ther Irish don't forget, they just don;t holf onto their hate (for the most part) But for us, it's all bygones y'know, in the past and a little too awkward to dwell on.

I have listened to this breathtaking song many, many times. It is one of my all-time favourite Sinéad songs and I just can’t get enough of it. I will never tire of hearing her voice. I hope she has now found the peace she longed for. You were so loved, Sinéad x

She was known for her outspokenness and her shaved head. She was also a vocal critic of the Catholic Church and of child abuse. She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2003. She died on July 26, 2023, at the age of 56. O'Connor was a complex and controversial figure, but she was also a talented and influential musician. She will be remembered for her powerful voice, her fearless activism, and her indelible mark on popular culture a frail woman whose voice stopped the titan

[@damayantimukherjee7889]

Good for you mister Jim Cambell, I do understand your point of you, but be aware that you are not responsible for your father's "duty", irish people have suffered a great deal, and it's still going on, differently, certainly, but it is still there, tensions between two communities. I , for my part, would like to see the whole of Ireland reunited, that's my wish. I've lived long enough in Northern Ireland to have known what life looks like over there, I can never forget, nor forgive the massacres perpetrated on innocent people who were just eager to simply live decently. My only hope is to see Irish people live freely, on their own land, carry on speaking irish gaelic which is originally their language and keep their own culture. Perhaps, one day battles will be over, but I have doubts...

[@allthatchas]

I like her when she's angry, but I love her when she's kind. Beautiful song!

[@vee31kennedy]

Maybe do not seek to reduce her. She is always kind. A little louder when her or her children's needs are neglected by others. Survival, protection frustration maybe , obviously understandably . Understanding, not judging. Pls try, for her, others... and yourself xx

[@johnmurphy6556]

This is a song which truly shows the light that Sinead shone into the world. To be so compassionate and gentle to someone who was an oppressive and murderous force in Ireland shows you the special type of human being this lady was.

[@nealm6764]

She wrote this song, correct? If so to me this may be the most touching and most important of all of her work. How this is not sung and played in every pub in Ireland, and even some in the UK is beyond me... I am mesmerized by how the song was crafted. On the surface it is a simple song about an Irish Woman singing to her Englishman lover or husband. But it is actually an allegory to the UK's relationship with/domination over Ireland over the centuries. Simply breathtaking when combined with the beautiful music and Sinead's amazing voice. "Why have you never told me you love me? Why have you never said you are sorry?" We love you Sinead and Ireland, and we are sorry. Please find the healing you need and deserve.

[@queenofscrolls7585]

Exactly! Such a beautifully aching song of a couple, but also an appeal to common ppl to stop letting governments divide and kill us. Could be sung to spread peace to many conflicts worldwide I believe

[@markwaldron8954]

Yes, the line "Meanwhile, crazies are killing our sons" is a tell of the song's deeper meaning.
