SINEAD O'CONNOR THREE BABIES REACTION - First time hearing

[@Greecosoph]

How great that you chose this song...thank you

[@Cath1027]

So sad to hear so soon after her 15 year old son Shane took his life. She’s absolutely devastated. Bless you Sinéad all of us in Ireland 🇮🇪 will always love ❤️ you.

[@patricialegge2482]

This beautiful lady, sings from her heart & soul. The pain she has gone through in her life, poor girl. She talks honestly. I really can't see how people discard her. Her voice haunts you. Harri, not all songs are happy clappy. Sinead, I think you have to have been in agony & suffering to understand her. I sometimes think if her words make you uncomfortable then you need to look inside to see what's uncomfortable within.

[@NathanVeenstra]

Wise words.

[@tanyalowe7150]

Take care of our beautiful Sinead. No bad posts, she always gave more then everyone xx

[@DS-wn4dx]

I was there through all of this song, We were on tour when she miscarried about 2 weeks later she went into a studio in Canada and reorded this song, I couldn't believe she could lay her soul so bare, but that was her all over I was crying while she recorded this.

[@erlindaolsson]

I am glad that this was post when she was still alive. I hope she read all the beautiful comments. Thanks Harry! RIP Sinead ❤

[@leeoobrien7726]

Thank you 4 reacting to this i think her most haunting song

[@jodyariewitz7349]

❤One of my favorite Sinead songs ever!

[@traypaquette7887]

Thank you for reacting to this song and treating her and her music with all reverance due. I have carried her music with me for 30+ years. She has given me so much by sharing herself like few can. My heart breaks for her 💔

[@j.k.1963]

To transcend beyond the horror and pain and create this beautiful heartfelt piece of art... it clearly shows the urge to honor and protect her lost ones. I truly feel for Sinéad. I know there are many more who do.

[@JailTheCorruptGovernment]

Sad and beautiful at the same time. My favourite female artist of all time. Xx❤️RIP❤ Sinead xx❤xx

[@nancysmith38]

Such a beautiful voice. She’s certainly had her struggles and now with her son’s recent passing. I wish her peace

[@TroyGrey]

I always choke up listening to that voice of hers. I love how you seem to understand her as an artist and as a person for many don’t, which is a shame. Her live acoustic version of Black Boys On Mopeds is highly recommended.

[@witchestomotheryou234]

Please more Sinead! I highly recommend Black Boys on Mopeds, Last Day of Our Acquaintance, Fire on Babylon, John I Love You… (audio/album versions) so many great songs.. btw per Sinead’s recent memoir, Rememberings, (which is excellent and fascinating), she states this re: Three Babies… “about three miscarriages that I experienced. It is also about the four children I did have, though the song is perhaps a prophecy of not being the perfect mother. You have dreams of being a perfect mother to your kids, but maybe you don’t always turn out to be one (though you get better as you get older).” :)

[@pauldover1403]

You're completely right, "Rememberings" is a wonderful book and it makes you feel drawn to her, you really ought to read it Harri and anyone else interested in her. The three babies are the three miscarriages and to me, this song entwines them with her lost babies, her children, the men in her life and her mother who constantly haunts her. This is one of her three "death songs" but there is another one too. You'll find on the internet that many people who have lost a young baby also treasure the song, "My Darling Child." My wife listened to the album it appeared on, "Universal Mother" throughout her first pregnancy and when Olivia died, ten weeks after she was born, we had it played at her funeral service in the Catholic Church Mary had been brought up in. It hurts, twenty-five years later it still hurts and I still avoid listening to that song and the Kinks' "Days" because I don't like crying. I feel so sorry for Sinead at the loss of her youngest child Shane, who suffered from his own demons and hanged himself when he had disappeared from the hospital where he was on suicide watch. But God is good, even through the hard times. I'm glad that Harri picked up on the meaning of this. Sinead doesn't just write and perform these songs, she lives them. And sometimes you can hear them tearing you apart. The most important part of the video is when she blows the little paper ship across the pool to join the others which are already there.

[@pauldover1403]

I forgot to say, when you look at the photos of Shane, it's his mother's face that looks back at you.

[@Heinz57ish]

Seen your comments before - we have different favourites but I do agree with John I love you. Last day of our Aquaintance has importance to me too.

[@marysmith6328]

Thank you Harry for the beautiful reaction . One can see how touched you were with this song . Just so sad and beautiful voice .

[@vidaemvideos883]

Love love her and your reactions of her .

[@victoriagrove5344]

I love this woman. She cares very deeply and you know that when you hear her

[@michaelbonade4667]

I was younger…much younger, in junior high when she became popular in the states…I wasn’t listening to a huge range of music then and so I was only familiar with her biggest hits that got radio play….when I heard this song years later it was such a gift

[@jchur7128]

Thanks for your great review. ❤

[@OneDogRescue]

one of my favorite artists and I love this song for years. Thanks for reviewing it...She has one of the best voices and is a great songwriter. Try Last Day of Our Acquaintance and John I love You. Troy (live at Pinkpop 1988) is a must!

[@cl-js1zn]

THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS SONG FOR HER WHILE SHE WAS STILL ALIVE. I had never seen the video of the song. She is with her son Shane and her 3 babies. You did a beautiful job on the video. Thank you.

[@victoriagrove5344]

I love her! Here is nobody who puts so much into her songs

[@retniretep9477]

The purest female voice ever.

[@fewwiggle]

For the first 10 or 15 years or so of her career, she had one of the most powerful and beautiful voices ever in 'rock'

[@philippacrowe8499]

Your allowed to express it also, men suffer when miscarraige occurs to. Thankyou for your empathy and am so sorry for your loss as well. Speaaking from experience. This song is special to me and your respectful response and understanding bought fresh tears, yes you "got" who she is in her Soul perfectly. RIP Sinead and hug your lost ones close you will be missed and thankyou for your incredable legacy

[@punsintendedok]

So tragic that her son committed suicide. She called him her "beautiful baby" 😢💞

[@victoriagrove5344]

There is nobody better than Sinead!

[@atiqrahman7289]

Life of Sinead O'CONNER is a heart-breaking tale. Wish that something had prevented her premature death at age 56. In this day and age, 56 is quite a younger age to die. Unfortunately my father died at age 56----- he fell from a wooden ladder ---and died at a younger age of 56. GOD BLESS SINEAD O'CONNER AND GOD BLESS MY FATHER. I LOVE MY FATHER AND I LOVE SINEAD O'CONNER.

[@JobHuntingAbroad]

I love your reaction, she has been my favourite artist of all time , almost 35 years now x

[@tonyx2802]

🤎🤎🤎... She looked so young here. Such a gentle yet powerful song. 🤎🤎🤎

[@niallmartin9063]

She was a giant of a soul. The Lilliputians tried to tie her and cut her down. Not anymore. This small soulful Irishwoman was a feminine firestorm. Will we ever see her like again? Peace and respect ☘️🇮🇪

[@chefskiss6179]

Another wonderful reaction vid by you, THANK you for that, H. I hope at some point you try her song, "Mandinka". So powerful and tender.

[@Justamy1973]

Sinead said this song was about a homeless woman who lost her 3 children due to her situation. But the song can definitely be interpreted in many ways😉

[@anitaulu]

Deep, deep powerful love.

[@bminturn]

It's so important to stop and acknowledge losses like this for both the mother and father. My mother had a few miscarriages. For one, my brother and I witnessed her being carted out of the house on a gurney. But we never really talked about it.

[@imck76]

Coz she's a "working" mom. Was NOT willing to leave them. NO one can love her children like she does. She does not want to share them with some other mother. Are they safe? Are they warm? May they be returned to me. THANK you for sharing.

[@Deguello23]

The story is she saw a young woman, obviously poor, in a store in the early morning with three babies strapped around her, shopping, and it was cold out. It just affected her. This song's been messing me up for decades now.

[@newenglandgirlatheart]

Sinéad can always be counted on for singing from her soul and the point of view of her pain. I think in order to be a great artist of any genre you have to experience great suffering.

[@victoriagrove5344]

Sinead had three miscarriages. The song was about those losses

[@Tuttuh6]

Yes. She had 3 miscarriages. She said it was about them and the 4 she had.😢

[@dlbeal]

She actually had four chidren, each of them but one lived with her. The fathers have custody.

[@brocklanders9259]

Why was that so?

[@heyskipj]

A saint. A warrior. Who else can make God uncomfortable.

[@julilla1]

I wish her peace. I don't think she's had peace her entire life.

[@rouguy1972]

My favorite from her ❤️

[@HenryAusLuebeck]

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

it really is a beautiful song. But "Black Boys On Mopeds" moves me even more.

[@christianm6403]

RiP Sinéad

[@Heinz57ish]

This is my funeral song by Sinead . . . because I have 3 babies!

[@tanyalowe7150]

She went through hell and back had 4 kids one of them died last year. God help her she had aborted at times because of stress and harassment. Don't know if all of it adds up but I can say she was financially and physically taken advantaged of. That woman is brilliant. Love to you all. Xxx

[@stardust164]

happy birthday to me!! it is the dawning of the age of Aquarius

[@ivanostellato9478]

good call !

[@lekomeleka9954]

I believe the song is about the time that she was being taking to the courts to be evaluated as a fit mother. She was in peril to loose the kids custody full time to their fathers or temporary families... Kinda the foster care system of Ireland.

[@toni6053]

Yes she did have 3 lost babies and then her youngest boy did what he did, I think it all broke her.

[@marypinkerton3290]

So sad as she lost her son as he committed suicide. I was so sorry to hear this.

[@victoriagrove5344]

She sings about her three miscarriages

[@ivanostellato9478]

and in th care next to us they had my sister as a hostage !

[@pelaronson4086]

Soo sad...we want the Beatles!

[@hazelcoggane6419]

She lost three babies

[@quinn220]

I think it COULD be about abortions, although I don’t know if she had any. “I ask no other to be mother to these three…” Many women grieve abortions, even when they don’t regret them. It’s not done lightly.

[@ivanostellato9478]

thats the queen for yu

[@atiqrahman7289]

Lot of sympathy for Sinead O'CONNER. She suffered a lot. She should not have suffered this way and that much. She reverted/converted to ISLAM ---- and ISLAM was not successful in relieving her suffering adequately. Was it a failure of ISLAM ?? ---- OR actually she failed ISLAM. SHE FAILED ??? OR. ISLAM FAILED???

[@ivanostellato9478]

"had" ... now they are boneless chicken wings on sale

[@atiqrahman7289]

Or it was that her psychiatric disorder was too severe to be controlled by any therapy---- psychotherapy, pharmaotherapy, or ISLAMO-THERAPY.

[@stardust164]

not a big fan of Sinead. but that's ok. peace and love from Canada

[@ivanostellato9478]

we miscarried i know

[@Justamy1973]

Sinead said this song was about a homeless woman who lost her 3 children due to her situation. But the song can definitely be interpreted in many ways😉
