Always a perceived this song as a great travel acros history. The start points - the shame and the pain. Sure, reference to Mandinka people, remind of slavery, it represents, in same measure, a precise exploration of personal story and, in the case of Sinead O Connor, this is more than obvious.
A song defining, in honest - precise manner, what represents to be yourself.
Inspired lyrics, good coreography, admirable message.
And one of simple self definitions of a pure admirable artist , using her experiences for define the near reality out of illusions , in this case, the remind of tragedy of slavery working in splendid manner.
