Years ago this little girl fought like a lion against the abuses in the church. And lost her career. Respect Sinead!

Will always be one of the greatest songs ever sung. RIP Sinead

I’ve seen her several times in live performances. This is my favorite song she wrote, and sadly I never saw her perform it live. This woman touched my soul with her music. I am heartbroken at the loss of her.

It's beyond belief that she sung this song every bit as well as she did in her twenties. She was phenomenal. Really unsurpassed. Sínéad, you were a warrior.

R.I.P. Sinéad O'Connor. Difficult and hard life you've had. Your music meant so much to me at one point in my life, for that I will always be grateful. Thank you. Love you

This is one of her best performances. Sinead is really a true artist, no heavy make-ups, props, just her voice and true emotions, no drama. RIP Sinead🌹

That voice. Her presence. Her vulnerability. Her courage. We can only hope that she’s at peace. She gave us a lot in a short time. Rest well ❤

one of THE greatest songs of all time, and Sinead is one of the greatest artists of any Time. She is Timeless.

Young Sinead singing this with just her and a guitar, or older Sinead with a full orchestral accompaniment, so moving either way. Such a powerful person and voice. RIP.

The voice that defines why humans created in the first place...... Respect from Tanzania 🇹🇿

That’s what I call a live performance, RIP Sinead.

After all those times I listened to this song, it still gives me the chills. A tormented woman, standing there, all by herself, crying her heart out, not giving a damn how she looks, wow, that's really impressive!

This is how we will remember you. You will rise You'll return The Phoenix from the flame

I remember seeing her on her first tour in 1987. She came out on stage, a tiny 20 year old woman with a shaved head in blue jeans, white t-shirt and a black leather jacket. She looked nervous but as soon as she started singing Jackie she took command of that stage for the entirety of the show. I haven't seen too many artists with this much stage presence. Her vocal range, even here, is nothing less than impressive.

If there is a single song that carries more human emotions I've not heard it. Love, hate, loneliness, rage, tenderness, compassion, strength, gentleness, fearfulness, resilience, etc. Forever in your debt Sinead thanks for the music.

This is the most magnificent song ever. A woman's raw emotion, she is holding a sacred feminine energy that we rarely see these days.

We have just lost the woman who had the greatest voice of all time but who also wrote the greatest song of all time, this. The world will not be the same without her..

Rest in peace Sinéad. You had such a voice and you fought such a fight 🖤

This song has saved my life more that once. God Bless Sinead. ✨

Before there was Alanis Morrisette, there was Sinéad O'Connor, before there was The Cranberries, there was The Lion & The Cobra. Remember that always. Honor Sinéad as the first of her kind, because she was. RIP brave warrior. We, your fans, love you. ❤️ 😢🙏

this has to be one of the best songs ever written. brilliant briliant brilliant

I'm just crying listening to it.... She was still able to sing this difficult and beautiful song. Her music helped me so much during a dark period in my life and it's so sad she's gone. RIP, great soul.

This version is sublime

After hearing the sad news of her passing away, I stumbled upon this version of this magnificant song. For me, she will allways be remembered because of her beautiful, emotional and yet powerful voice. I hope she has found the peace she was looking for. R.I.P. Sinéad O'Connor (8 december 1966 - 26 juli 2023)

Nobody compares to you Sinead, very ironic but massively true...you spoke up for the children that had no voice and you did it with the look and voice of an Angel.....you make me proud to be Irish.

The lion and the cobra was one of the best debut albums ever

Unbelievably good!!!! Very intense! Rest in peace, Sinead.

The best art… the very best art has emotion and serious depth. This performance and this song is art of the very highest caliber. Sinead Bernadette will live on forever. THE Phoenix from the Flame…..

Heartbreaking perfection. We miss you Sinead. It was a privilege to be in the world when you were. X

Tout simplement magique, une vraie chanteuse , quelle émotion quand elle chante , elle est unique, Sinéad, j'aurais tellement voulu te sauver de toutes tes souffrances, je t'aime à vie❤❤❤❤

Best version of this song I’ve ever heard.

Rust zacht schoonheid. Je muziek raakt me het leven is niet makkelijk geweest voor je. Respect dat je de kerk terecht hebt gewezen. De paus is onlangs weer in Portugal geweest vanwege grootschalig misbruik. Ze moeten zich schamen en jou heilig verklaren. Hoop dat je nu rust gaat vinden. Tot een volgend leven.❤

I vividly remember the first time I was exposed to her music was through this song, I,an angsty teenager as most if not all of them are,was hanging out at a friends place in the summer of '87. Watching a canadian music program (Good Rockin' Tonight) and Sinead O'Connor-Troy came on...well..I can admit in my 13 yr old ignorance I didn't understand the phenomenon on the screen,possibly even dismissed it as "too weird for me"...but now,jeezus. It's arguably the best debut album of all time,cuts so deep in so many places,brilliantly written,the pathos and conviction etc etc.

The energy of her younger years was immense but as she's gotten older she seems to have concentrated more on the quality of her vocal performances and it's fantastic :)

One of the best performance i Ever seen in my life....only sinead can sing in this way.

Sinead literally got me through the worst times in my life. I'm forever grateful and just love her. Thank you.

I saw her on that first US tour. Stunning. Now this version. All the years, all the experience, looking back at what had gone. This song has even more power decades later. Wow, this is astounding.

I am over 60-and nothing compares to this song by Sinead. God I love you. Id slay a dragon for you.

My favourite song by her. Wow. Even more powerful and poignant sung as an older, wiser woman. Rest well my dear.

Breathtaking!!! What can I say this song is so passionate and it doesn’t matter how many times you listen to it whether it’s the official version or life several years…. Leaves me completely emotional and gets my hair standing up on my arms. One of the greatest songs ever. RIP ❤️

Una voce che era un velo per l'anima nonostante il dolore durissimo della sua esistenza, addio creatura magnifica 🥲

So many years after this song first came out, and she STILL puts her entire being into this song... She's such an inspiration :D

Wow, just wow...this is why she'll be remembered forever. An utterly unique voice. Pure raw angelic intensity. And that effervescent smile at the end! Thank you Sinead ❤

Struggling with difficult mental health issues myself, this video hit hard, you can hear the despair, sadness, and anxiety in her voice. Such an amazing woman, strong, before her time and her voice it's absolutely fantastic and beautiful! She'll most certainly be missed. 🖤🖤🖤

Always,always a a feckin inspiration. We went to see her doing a turn in Manchester, our home town for four decades. Can't remember the year, but it was early on. The breathtaking beauty of her voice was beautiful. X

we were there, surprising act we were amazed. Still the same voice after all these years . goosebumps .

Brave, sensitive talented. If I never make it to Ireland, I'll be happy that your music trespassed the borderlines and is here with me and has been since a long time ago. It is so sad I will never attend a concert given by you. I would give you a hug from all my hearth, I would tell you how loved and admired you still are. RIP Dear sinnead.

I can't stop listening to this song. Brilliant and haunting to my heart.

Potężny utwór i wyjątkowo silnie brzmiący głos Sinead wywołujący ciarki. Pozostaniesz na zawsze w naszej pamięci. ❤🌹

I loved her back in the day when i was 17 and cruising with this music in the 90's and it hasnt changed, still love her today at 52, RIP Sinead

Just as powerful here as it was when she first performed it. Wow❤

Une des plus belle voix du monde tu restera gravé dans ma vie. Merci Sinéad

She was such a special person, beautiful woman, fabulous voice, unique!!! You will be missed so much! May God now bring you the peace you so deserve, all my love Yasmin xx Goodnight, God bless dearest Sinaed

My God she's incredible. Chills. How can ANYONE dislike this??

She really is a phoenix that rose from the flames ! Much respect Sinead! We love ya ! One of the most powerful female artists out there and every time she nails it

Genius! What a incredible voice. One of the most impressive artists ever.

She's so gifted. Lion and the Cobra is one of the top albums of all time.

This was simply awesome!

I have bought all her records right from the start and I so regret never seeing her live.... I still think this is her best song. Thanks for posting this 👍

What an amazing voice. RIP Sinead

Sinéad. Dear. Theres only one, just one with this voice. You! Hero ❤

Grandissima Bravissima.Tutte le canzoni sono Bellissime. R.P.I.e Buon Viaggio.

This song guided me through the worst betrayal of my life. My first love sleeping with a red head behind my back. I eventually rose like a Phoenix 😔

This is my favorite of her songs (and it's been running through my head all day, as it often does). I love the way it starts with a description of such youthful innocence ("We were SO young then we thought everything we could POSSIBLY do was right"--exactly, like pretty much all of us as young people) and works its way through the relationship of which she sings in all its stages until the raging, magnificent "You're still a liar." The entire album still stuns me after all these years--aside from Sinead's incomparable voice (and how ridiculously beautiful she was), the songs and the arrangements are just so complex and sophisticated and evocative. (And I would have torn that picture in half too, and felt perfectly justified. No one wanted to hear the truth then, or even now, but she was willing to destroy her career to make her point.)

Good grief!! This woman makes me feel every emotion that I can possibly feel every time I hear her sing. I love you Sinead!

Uma verdadeira sinfonia de Sinéad O'Connor; parte de uma ópera da história comovente de um ser genial, prodígio, talento indiscutível, voz interpretação e performance iniqualável, um presente fenomenal que Deus assinou e o mundo muito grato aprecia aplaudindo emocionado.🎶💕🌹👏🌎💯♥️

my favorite song as a in-love-teenager, it was the first song I had to listen when i heard the terrible news R.I.P.

God I love her,her whole life was one big tragedy from childhood on. A piece of my heart died when you passed! I hope God is holding your hand right now!! I love you Sinead!!!!!!

not only does she pierce the heart she pierces the soul

Profesional y emotiva era real. Creo no hay otra comparable maravillosa!!! Mis respetos por ella. Siento su perdida ❤

Magnificent, beautiful...words can not describe

When this came out my best friend and I would sing this at top of our lungs on our way to the clubs. I will never forget that.❤

What an amazing talent. I've loved her voice for 25 years now. This song still stands up and the orchestra adds to it beautifully.

Such a voice, so powerful in it's truth and vunerability. R.I.P. Sinead, you deserve it after all you went through and all you fought. Thank You for your courage and your voice.

It's been 7 hours and 15 days since you took your love away. 😢. I miss you already, Sinead. Thanks for the music that will forever live on.

You’re still spitting fire! What a voice, what a life and career!!

I grew up with the studio version of this song and never thought to see her do it live. Amazing performance.

God what a performance!!! An orchestra! Wow

Avec cette orchestre symphonique un moment unique ! Quelle performance !

This is far and away one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. Such beauty and strength.

Seu envolvimento com a canção é algo surreal e nato sempre presente em qualquer apresentação que fez. Simplesmente talentosa, voz inconfundível, interpretação única e brilhante... Deixou transbordar do coração para a alma cantante... Levou o palco da contagiante emoção a maravilhosa sonoridade musical em arrepios e aplausos, simplesmente merecido. Bravo Sinéad O'Connor ,👏👏💯❤️

I " ll remember it And Dublin in a rainstorm And sitting in the long grass in summer Keeping warm I'll remember it Every restless night We were so young then We thought that everything we could possibly do was right Then we moved stolen from our very eyes And I wondered where you went to Tell me when did the light die You will rise You'll return The Phoenix from the flame You will learn You will rise You'll return Being what you are There is no other Troy For you to burn And I never meant to hurt you I swear I didn't mean those things I said I never meant to do that to you Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead Oh, does she love you? What do you want to do? Does she need you like I do? Do you love her? Is she good for you? Does she hold you like I do? Do you want me? Should I leave? I know you're always telling me that you love me Just sometimes I wonder if I should believe Oh, I love you God, I love you I'd kill a dragon for you, I'll die But I will rise And I will return The Phoenix from the flame I have learned I will rise And you'll see me return Being what I am There is no other Troy For me to burn And you should've left the light on You should've left the light on Then I wouldn't have tried and you'd never have known And I wouldn't have pulled you tighter No, I wouldn't have pulled you close I wouldn't have screamed, "No, I can't let you go" If the door wasn't closed No, I wouldn't have pulled you to me No, I wouldn't have kissed your face You wouldn't have begged me to hold you if we hadn't been there in the first place Oh, but I know you wanted me to be there, oh, oh, oh Every look that you threw told me so But you should've left the light on You should've left the light on And the flames burned away But you're still spitting fire Make no difference what you say You're still a liar You're still a liar You're still a liar!!

I was fortunate enough to see Sinead live at the Albert Hall. Her stage presence - solitary - in a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, without any musical accompaniment, or backing singers, was phenomenal! A treasured memory. (I expect you've been reunited with your son now, Sinead; that's what your soul wanted and God granted. R.I.P)

Say what you want about her some of you. My guess is you weren't there from '87-'91. Sure, she came in like a raging fire that burned out too quickly but for a short time there was nothing like her. Maybe you had to be there in '87 when she shook up the music world with a stunning debut album unlike anything at that time. Saw her only once, about twelve years after "Lion", as a second tier opening act for Lilith Fair. By that time the fire was almost completely out as she barely responded to a crowd that couldn't have cared less of her previous stature and accomplishments. The 1988 performance of this song at Dominion Theater alone is testament to the star power and charisma she once possessed as she stood there like a Joan Of Arc mythic figure slaying the audience with just one song. So glad I was there in the beginning to experience this amazing artist at her peak.

What a performance! God I love her... I wish I could hug her every day and make her smile... laugh and sing.. nothing more. she is a treasure

Bon sang, j'ai regardé plusieurs fois cette vidéo, et ça continue de me prendre les tripes. Aux larmes 😢 Je ne comprends pas ceux qui n'ont pas vu que cette femme est un miracle. Le talent ultime. Malgré la maltraitance de mauvais médecins à cette époque, elle reste unique à mes yeux. Sinéad je t'aime infiniment ❤❤😢❤

Rest in eternal peace, my sister Sinead O'Connor

RIP sinead, may you rest in warm love and be togheter with your son know in peace.thank you lovely soul🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Voice is still amazing. This song always gives me chills when I hear it.

RIP Sinead I will play this song again and again in tribute ❤

Amazing. Такая мощь! Сердце на разрыв, всё что есть у человека не возможно заменить если теряешь. Она читает Реквием любви!

Still... one of the most amazing live performances ever caught on film.

after all these years, she still has 'it'

Sinéad's amazing she sounds fantastic and the orchestra beautiful. I love her smile it lights up her beautiful face🙏

I was there, what an experience

La voz y sonrisa más bonitas del mundo entero❤

Ее великолепная улыбка!!! Свет!!! Так улыбаются ангелы!!!❤❤❤
