Esteja em paz Sinéad com seu filho. Não será esquecida através das tuas músicas que ficou pra marcar. Adeus minha Rainha da Irlanda Sinéad O'Connor é a única e melhor. 🙏🕊👩👦🎶
Like House of the Rising Sun, this is an old, old song with unknown provenance. Patrick McCabe wove this song into his unsettling yet truly funny novel of the same name. Then Neil Jordan, who has a history of wildly divergent film, made this into a brilliant movie featuring this very version of the song, with, oddly enough, Sinead O'Connor in a bit part as the Virgin Mary. The book begins with, "When I was a young lad, twenty or thirty or forty years ago, I lived in a small town where they were all after me on account of what I done on Mrs Nugent". There are sad and horrifying things in this one sentence that do not become clear until the end. Both versions are brilliant depictions of the humor of the Irish and a slow descent into madness.
@@art2292 When I was semi-incarcerated in a drunk Salvation Army bin, John Aielli, the morning DJ at KUT, played this song constantly. I finally got to see this film. the Dobie theater held this movie for WAY past it's due date. Probably because of John Aielli. I might have been the only person in the theater. It was worth the wait.
Beautiful song beautifully sung by Sinéad.unfortunatley a vile horrible subject so so cruel God bless Ireland and all those around the world who have sufferd child abuse at the hands of the chatholic church🙏
Very haunting! The Magdalene laundries were so horrible, it kills me to even think about the vile abuse they suffered! Incidentally, Neil Jordan’s film The Butcher Boy has this song in it, and the movie is as haunting as the song itself! Yes it’s funny, but VERY dark humor, mostly very disturbing! This song is great for good catharsis

What are we looking at here? What is this building? (Thanks in advance) Edit: Oh. The last photo shows Magdalene Laundries… Is this where Sinead was sent at 15 or is this one abuse by the Church she protested?
I love Sinéad but this version misses out a very important verse. After the narrator gets the pen and paper, the next verse is the one missing, in which she says she wishes her baby were born and sitting on his daddy's knee, etc. Without that the rest doesn't make sense, the grave, wide and deep, with two gravestones etc.
I'm not sure that "London town" line is the original. It is an old folk song. as such there are hundreds of variants. It is probably English, but we don't where it originated. At any rate, it is a deep, great song well known wherever folk song is appreciated, including Ireland, Australia and the US..
