My God.. how can a person express every millimeter of the vast spectrum of humanity , from the utmost, righteous , utter rage, to the softest, most fragile and vulnerable beauty.. ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ rest easy , sister.. hope u knew how inspiring u are

The passion...the rage...the compassion. This is a masterpiece. How can this not move one spritually and emotionally?

I like when a beautiful voice is used not to make something pretty but is used to point a finger or to say something hard....

Sinead was right about everything and paid the price

This whole album is just so incredible. I rate it as my favourite debut album of all time.

Jackie, Mandinka and Jersusalem at the beginning - a trifecta of raw power! Such a good record!!

I never knew this version existed. A great performance by an extremely gifted singer who sneers, sings and screams throughout. What the world thought was cowardice in the 1990's is now looked upon as a great act of bravery. RIP Sinead.

Amazing how contemporary this still sounds, so many years later. RIP good lady

I’ve watched this a thousand times. Pure brilliance. She’s so beyond amazing.

Sadly, I've only discovered Sinead recently and this song tonight. I'm absolutely gobsmacked. Powerful is a gross understatement.

AN ETERNAL AWAKENING in the light and love, my dear Sinead...You did it as only you and nobody else...

I was fortunate enough to see her at The Beacon in NYC when The Lion and the Cobra came out, it was unforgettable.

Her first album was the best!!!

The most amazing voice I've ever heard.

such pure anger and passion, also THE VOICE for me she's just untopable, best musician of all time

I remember the first time I heard this song. Back in 1987 when it first came out. It gave me goose bumbs. The intensity and vehemence in the way she sang her songs. Especially this one! I became a fan at that moment. Still probably my favorite song of hers. And still gives me goose bumps when ever I hear it!

This is Sinead's Best Song.

I love her. She is a brave and misunderstood soul. Bless her for her courage and conviction. I was in college radio when we received her first album "the Lion and the the Cobra". The minute I put the needle on that record (yes, this was BEFORE cd's), I was in awe of her talent and her fury. She was pissed WAAAY before Alanis.

I was there when John Maybury filmed this at the Dominion Theatre on TCR. The lion & the Cobra was her best album in my mind. It was angry, powerful and sharp! Jerusalem was all the above! It’s my favourite track on the album. Of note usually the 3rd track on albums are usually the strongest or main song! Hence Sinead put it there!

If you're going to be unhappy in life... this is the way to do it.

she is THE Singer/Songwriter of our time and she is so beautiful

The voice and the manic energy will forever be missed.

This is the best version of this song by far. Her range, the band, the 90s visual effects….superb.

God I love the fire in her.🔥❤️

Awesome, wish this has been played more as I'd totally missed incredible song all these years

Hear voice brings me to tears. Such a great talent. Love her just as much today as I did back then❤

Eu só conhecia a música " Nada se compara a ela ". Depois que falaceu comecei a escutar outras músicas eu amei são muito lindas. Ela é a minha cantora favorita agora ouvirei sempre o legado que ficou. Esteja em paz com teu menino minha Rainha da Irlanda Sinéad O'Connor será sempre a melhor e única. Paz Rasgar. 🙏🕊👩‍👦🎶

Just saw her last week...and her voice is still insanely amazing. WHen the gift is in your DNA, you always have it.

Her debut is still in my top 5 of best albums ever made here in 2022. Doubt that will change.. Best female album by far..

Pretty sure this was the gig I was at. Seems like a lifetime ago. Brings a tear to my eye. She was truly amazing.

I agree - I don't think Alanis could really hold a candle to O'Connor. Alanis's record never did a single thing for me, but Sinéad's yelps and screeches were real. I wore out my tape of "The Lion and The Cobra" in college. Yes, I'm also ancient. :)

this is one of my favorite songs for it's raw power and emotion, but i had only know the album version of it. i am stunned. her strength, intensity, the words fail to do justice. others who can feel will know, and we are brethren. i have lived in her heart, in her head, in her skin. it is wondrous as it is terrible.

This is an excerpt from an entire concert that was filmed and aired on MTV’s 120 Minutes. Extraordinary. Thanks for sharing it.

God bless Sinead...a true artist

She's so primal. Great LP/CD.

Tá bron orm. I'm sorry. Is é mo chroí briste. My heart is broken 💔 Tá cara de mhuintir na hÉireann ar fad tar éis bháis. A friend of all Irish people has died. Tá mná na hÉireann mór agus cumhachtach, agus tá tú ar cheann de na fearr. The women of Ireland are great and powerful, and you are one of the best. Is breá liom tú an oiread sin, Iníon O'Connor. I love you so much Miss O'Connor (Shuhada' Sadaqat, her Muslim name means "martyrs of sincerity and truth" which is the perfect name for the martyr she was for Ireland) 🦁🐍 Nothing Compares to U

What an amazing singer songwriter! She has such control over her vocals...I mean up and down in seconds. Who can do that today. Not many.

RIP you wonderful woman. The flame that burns the brightest and so on.. ❤️❤️❤️

this is way better than the studio version, you feel her energy vibrating very heavy.

This reminds me of my punk days. I love her energy and freedom in which she belts it out. Live it loud!

I wish today's musicians would not be afraid to stand up like she has for all the injustices in her world. The world is a sad place where we shy away from the realities of the world. Bless her for her courage to speak her own truth.

Reminds me of my time living in London in the 90s and trying to find myself. Listening to it now it reminds me of how far I've come in my life. Thanks Sinead 🙏🏾✨💫💫❤️🙏🏾👍🏾 You're very welcome.

Agreed! no one can match her emotion, honesty, guts! Her voice and beauty are flawless! A tremendous artist that puts most to shame, including the wannabees from Idol.

This is a live performance but made into a video type thing. I have this tape. Her strength comes through. She is amazing and I love her!

I know what she went through because I went through the same, but in her case she fought back and I admire she for that.

Strong as she can be. My teenage years.

Timeless.

very different...very unique...sinead is one of the best female artists i admire since the 80's...iconic!!!

the best girl ever. great vocals too. i think we'd be lost without this bright gem

✨🎶💫🌹✨🎶✨We were dancing to this album at the club's in the late '80's, and hats off to my friend at the time, Raphael, who would walk around on the college campus with me, singing this song. He reached the high notes pretty well. We all loved Sinead, and her songs, and music. Still do.✨🎶💫🎶✨🌹💫

30 years old sounds amazing, what a lot of energy

Brilliant person and artist. Rest in Peace.

This song is gritty and edgy! I LOVE IT!!! It's a song to play REALLY LOUD!!!

What a voice! xx

Wow. I think I need to punch myself in the face after watching that. So powerful.

Excellent artist.. Rest In Peace sister..🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thank you for sharing your talent with the world. I'm sad you couldn't find peace within it.

Remember when MTV was Great? When Alternative was Great? When Alternative Radio radio actually played great Music? This was the Peak before the 90's Collapsed what was Great. 120 Minutes was not flannel shirts and Sound Garden, I would stand there ready to record dpeche MODE, Inspiral Carpets, New Order, Erasure, Sinead, Book of Love . This first Record was mind boggling Great. 1988. Best year for music.

ALIVE for you' and for yours childrens....💖 And your son, of course...✨🌈

oh dear GOD this is...treasure

Stunning debut album

Sinead is my new addiction just can’t get enough of her

Never expected this! Wow!

She is in my opinion incredibly powerful and full of emotion..indeed: she rocks!

The definition of punk!

If Sinead knew that she was gonna be this beautiful after she shaved her head,she probably would'nt have shaved it.This is 1 woman that cannot run from her Beauty!

She's such a forgotten goddess...

30 years later still amazing and subject matter still relevant

Me too! Nice to see another kindred spirit. I was the first person in San Antonio to play that album. Premiered it on my radio show in college. That album just blew me away. Still does.
