In The Name of the Father
This song is called 'You Made Me The Thief of Your Heart' and it's by the controversial Irish singer Sinead O'Connor; it was written by Bono of U2 though, and featured on the soundtrack of the 1993 film In The Name of the Father. Actually the film is one of the best British films I've ever seen and it's about the Guildford Pub Bombings in which Gerry Conlon and his father, Guiseppe were falsely implicated. It remains one of the most atrocious and heart breaking cases of justice denied in Irish history and the way it was brought to screen thanks to the amazing work done by Jim Sheridan (the director) and the actors, Daniel Day-Lewis, Pete Postlethwaite and Emma Thompson is just remarkable. The music video alone is so powerful that it's obvious that the whole motion picture was terrific. Watch. Get rid of the R.E.M. song playing in the background though...scroll down to the very end and press the stop button on the silver control box. THEN press play on the video console otherwise the two songs will clash horribly.
