Rememberings - Read by Sinéad O'Connor (Part 1) 

Where can I download all parts?

@@Amirdokht There are a lot of different places online you can buy the book/audiobook or download. I'm afraid I can't suggest one because it would imply that I am a seller from a certain company. You can look through the comments. I think some people said they bought it from a few different sellers.

@@Amirdokht I really loved your video about your summer. Please let me know if you were able to find the audiobook in your country.

That’s kind of you dear :) And about the audio book, I haven’t found any site that provide me a purchase of the audio book without any personal credit card. So, I guess sinead wants me to read her written words, although my own preference is to hear her story by her own voice. 😊✨

Hi again. I just wanted to tell you that i've finally managed to purchase the audio book :) 🙏🏼😌

RIP, SADLY MISSED: THANK YOU FOR ALL MY MEMORIES OF DUBLIN WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN. NOW I'M 67YRS OF AGE. GOD BLESS YOU XX THANKS FOR YOUR MUSIC. XX

Devastating loss💔❤️‍🩹💔

Same here. I went through such a range of emotions hearing it for the first time but I fell asleep listening to it last night. I also love her accent and how she says "Kewl"

Like listening to Marcel Proust. Only not fiction. 🤌

So unfair. 😢. Beautiful girl. Wish I could have met her.

😕😕

I think that is a reason many people seek fame. However, not everyone who becomes famous is loved and famous all over the world. To me, Sinead was different. I have never heard anyone else who could sing so beautifully. Her voice changes to express a variety of emotions. It goes from sounding so angelic to so powerful and angry. Then you have who she was as a person. So sensitive with so much courage, speaking out against all injustices everywhere. So much empathy.

Sinead didn't seek fame to be loved, and people treated her horrifically when she was famous. They shunned her, laughed at her, snubbed her. She loved music and Telling the blatant truth through it. She didn't let mass amounts of hate and shaming that stop her from sharing the message that she was on this earth to share. She did not have a good life, or an easy life. She did not die feeling loved. She essentially sacrificed' her happiness in order to speak the truth using the platform she had. People were not nice to her, over and over again she was failed by us, by society, by the system, by her family, and then she lost her son to suicide. It's not romantic childlike innocence, she told the truth and the world chewed her up and spat her out, and we should be ashamed. We should learn from this, to listen, to women like Sinead. She suffered horrendously for most of her life. As much as she wanted to be loved she consistently sacrificed that, in order to do the right thing by her morals. That is fucking real strength. People love her because she was a rebel, and she spoke up when no one else would. Because she was talented, intelligent, she spoke up even when her hands were shaking, and everyone was against her, she was unfathomably brave. I detest that people might view her as her childhood trauma, rather than everything she was despite her pain. Or view her as childlike and naive. She was neither, she was a full and multifaceted, passionate human being, and we once again didn't care enough until she passed.

I received mine, a gift from my son after seeing me cry for her loss.❤

True words x

Beautiful tribute. Thank you for commenting.

Beautiful comment, Angela. I really feel that she will go down in history. It is sad that the most amazing people are not really appreciated in their lifetime. I see a new generation of young people discovering her music now. We were so lucky to have her in this world.

😕

What's your point?

John is a Dr. He is Sineads, BROTHER, HE WORKS WITH ABUSED CHILDREN who have been abus

Very beautifully written comment. She did the same for me. 💚

@@HearMyWords Thank you and hugz 💜

Because someone else did that to her Mother.. It's a cycle of abuse.

Alice Miller explains it in her book The Drama of the Gifted Child

So sad shes gone.RI.P. my dearsister.yure are dearly missed.😢❤

Yes, I also have struggles with PTSD, depression and severe anxiety. You are not alone. Thank you for speaking out.

@@desdoyle7592 You are a 👿 . The person who purchases this work is free to share it - and you know it.

@@desdoyle7592 you really think that's who Sinead was talking about when she said that about her family receiving royalties from her music? A random fan on the internet who is just trying to process all the things news of her death has sparked in people? Come on... Attack record companies if anything..

@@desdoyle7592 l read my own copy of the book, which l already purchased, if you must know..

Thank you. Yes, the whole audio book is seven hours.

@@desdoyle7592 you've got to be kidding. You must be a very bored, unhappy person.

​@@desdoyle7592get a life - some people will buy this from Audiobook and the money will go to her family

💚💚💚

I fell asleep on the couch and woke to see her face and the paper tearing. "Nice", i thought, and went to bed. I'd been a fan since the first moment I heard her voice when I was 16 and I always will be. Ever grateful ❤

She is to me as well. Thank you for commenting. 💚💚💚

My great-grandfather lived in Cork. 💚

Indeed. She was, is and will always be. ❤

I love her humor too. There is an interview. I need to find it again. She goes into the story how no one is allowed to have a bowel movement on the tour bus and how it would make a great book of all the stories from touring musicians and their experiences struggling with this. She suggested the book could be called "Nothing Compares To Poo."

She did have a lot of rage. She states this in the book. She stated that she checked herself into hospitals and treatment centers because she wanted her rage and suicide attempts to stop. I wish I could have saved her too. I wish I could save all children who are suffering from abuse. ❤

@@HearMyWords I have seen her Dr. Phil "session" - which was horrible to start as no serious therapy should be televised, but it was, and I saw it. Dr. Phil puts Sinead under some sort of regression and he asks what she wants to tell her mother. Sinead says "I want to mother her. I want to tell her everything's going to be alright" Yes, I know she has expressed anger but obviously it is complicated.

Funny you should mention Dr. Phil. Please consider checking out my most recent upload.

Her undying love for her mother is what was killing Sinead. She had Stockholm Syndrome, as many abused and neglected children do. They end up killing them selves (or others) for the love of their parents (which is never requited). Dr. Phil said it was Sinead who wanted that session filmed, in order to help other people. I am most of the way through it, and to me it doesn’t seem too bad honestly. But she needed to be challenged more on her love for her mother. Loving her abuser meant she was not loving herself. Alice Miller explains in her books - this seems like the “drama of the gifted child” (one of her titles) to a tee.

@@clearfield2009classic parentification (role reversal), where the parent seeks what they need (to fulfill their own unmet childhood needs) by way of their child, rather than vice versa - a common killer of children.

Very happy to hear that. It is why I did uploaded what I did.

Always breaks my heart to hear of someone growing up in such terrible situations. Just want you to know that this channel is open to you. Although there are many people who run channels that are experts in trauma. Much love to you. ❤

So, sorry you experienced such sadness and abuse. You are on my thoughts and prayers. MAY GOD BLESS YOU 🙏

​@@HearMyWordsthank you fir your kind words for them. Appreciate you, and MAY GOD BLESS YOU 🙏

Same here. I've been watching some of her interviews. She always makes me giggle. Her integrity was definitely something I admired. I also loved how she spoke out on whatever was on her mind. Even if it was something silly, she never censored herself. I relate to that quite a bit.

Well said 🌺

Thank you so much for your comment. The world was so lucky to have her in so many ways. I feel that hearing her speak on her life was a gift she left us. This is her speaking her truth instead of others speaking it for her. There are just parts in the book that I feel should be out there, especially the lack of good mental health help. It's not common knowledge that Dr. Phil exploited her. He didn't only not help her but hurt her further. I just feel strongly about that needing to be out there.

I agree. Her voice is magical.

I'm sorry I missed this comment. Much love to you, Susie.

So true. She touched so many in life and will continue to do so for many generations to come. Thank you for your heartfelt comment.

So sorry for all you have been thur. You are not alone. You are in my thoughts and prayers. MAY GOD BLESS YALL 🙏

Anyone who really reads and does research about Sinéad knows she was an empath. Yes, I know there are people out there who are trying to convince others that she was narcissist. I can't control what other people think.

I can't help but wonder how many of these people who claim she's a narcissist are pedophiles. Smh.

​@@afoltz1982all arm chair pshycologists hiding behind their keyboards. Sinèad was an empath. Narcs don't care about other people. Sometimes Sinèad cared too much.

Narcissist/empath is a bit of a crude, simplistic way of viewing the whole thing, anyway... it’s really just about how our development went, which ones of our childhood needs were met or not, and how we’re still trying to get them met as adults...

@@happydaze7976 Hate to bring up his name in this thread, but the case of a Classic Narcissist is a man named Trump.

I am so happy to hear that. Thank you.

Thank you for commenting to me AND responding to others. I honestly really do appreciate it.

Same. It's a great book but so lovely to hear her voice reading it 🩷

I felt like that too.... as a fan I felt like I failed her by not paying close enough attention. I'm sure people who knew her and were close to her feel it so much more. I feel all I can do now is reach out to more people and spread the love around. She really did speak out for groups of people who are marginalized and abused in our society. She knew how that felt and had such empathy for those feeling the same. I really feel your true sadness and empathy for her. Thank you so much for commenting.

She helped so meny people open doors iv got mental health I suffer split personality and I tell ya it's awfull the world is crazy but as sayin gose GOD ONLY TAKES THE BEST 1ST it's just mad how it was sinead I still struggle to process it truthfully

I hope you don't mind me asking but do you remember what happens right before you dissociate into a different identity?

@HearMyWords yyee the world jjudges all time for it and also can I jus put out there I'm Irish gypsy I was born in in Ireland and lived to Lees area of ya Eva herd of that lived and what fooks this world up more is racist narcissistic and gay bashing and all the rest is disgusting ain't we all sopossed to stand together? Just gets me angry I'm not good with emotions 🙃

It is only the ignorant and uneducated who judges someone who is just trying to live their lives without hurting anyone. My ancestors are from Cork, Ireland. 💚

It is very heartbreaking.

You can purchase the full audio book. It's worth it ❤

@@PerriPlays I will! This is so good. Sinead had an angelic voice. She brings us into her world from the inside, when all were used to seeing is her rougher outer shell. What a beautiful human being inside and out.

I understand. It's very heartbreaking. Even after death, her whole story isn't being told. 💔

Which Sybil are you referring to?

​@@afoltz1982thank you, I enjoyed that. MAY GOD BLESS YOU 🙏
