There's a story behind that famous tear. Apparently Sinead's mother had passed away not too long before this video was filmed, and the line "All the flowers that you planted in the back yard / all died when you went away" totally set her off because that's exactly what happened in her own mother's back yard shortly before - you even hear her adding the word "mama" into the line, where it wasn't intentionally written there. Sinead says she had a very troubled relationship with her mother and that this line hit her hardest of all. It really shows here

When this song came out in early 1990, it was the original. Prince had written it but had never recorded or released a studio version himself. So in a sense, this really *is* the original and definitive version because it reached No.1 all over the world, sold millions, and it was Sinead's performance that had made this song an international hit.

Medicina, you're wrong Prince recorded this as a demo. After 'The Revolution' fell apart and the former members were in several projects like 'Wendy and Lisa' and 'The Family' he helped 'The Family' and one of the songs he gave them was this one. If you don't believe you can search for that version at youtube. He didn't gave that to Sinead, for a matter of fact he was about to put this on single, and right before that Sinead did it, and that was the reason why he was mad at Sinead. And well it is recorded and you can find it at 'The Hits and B-sides', a compilation album with a few newer songs like 'peach'.

I'm 40, I remember when this came out, I was VERY young, but very tentative to the stories that songs would tell, and I'd be crying during the instrumental bridge because I was holding back tears trying to sing the words till that point. And to this day, I can't sing the rest of the song because I'd be crying through it and never learned the lyrics. I was very young, very in touch with feelings. She sounded sad on the radio, and I think my heart broke for her. 💔

For the record, Sinead's version is the definitive version. Period. The history of the track though is years before her version. Prince wrote it for one of his side-projects in 1984. "The Family" recorded it in 1985 and it was on their album of that name and that year. Prince's manager at that time became Sinead's manager a few years later and that's how the song came to her attention. It wasn't offered by Prince nor by The Family. Prince seemingly wasn't super happy with her covering a song of his - as he refused permission for all covers of his songs if the artists were to ask him. Once it became a worldwide smash hit, Prince began to introduce it to his live sets, where it stayed for the next 25 years - being played at most gigs and even in his final piano-only gig. He released a live version as part of a hits compilation in 1993 that became HIS definitive version - a duet with the great Rosie Gaines. I hear the songs as two different beasts as the arrangements between Sinead's and his live versions are so different. However, the final twist is that his original demo was released after his death. And there is a closer arrangement to the Sinead version on there. I think his demo with saxophone by the masterful Eric Leeds is - to my ear - a more poignant version than Sinead's.

I attended a Prince concert where he said of this song, in a pointed way, "this is how it should be sung". I love Prince but I thought "no way man, Sinead's version is the ultimate and trying to put it down just makes you look bad."
