Dolores sang in the Irish keening style, traditionally used for when someone dies. She was iconic.
Absolutely ....she made me cry with this song before she died , now ....Damn ....every time I think about it . War is insane!
As an Irish woman , I thank you for beating me to it 🙌🙏
‘Keening’ comes from the Irish word to cry, ‘caoineadh’ which is pronounced ‘keen-ah’ or ‘kween-ah’
Zombie” is a song performed by the Irish rock band The Cranberries. This song is widely considered to be one of the most famous protest songs of all time. It was written after an IRA bomb killed two children to protest the violence. 🙏
This is one of my favourite tracks ever. I was lucky enough to see it performed live and it hit me in the throat. I come from Belfast so what she is talking about is very real to me. I moved to Warrington a year after the IRA bombing that killed two young boys. It was only after Dolores O'Riordan's death that I realised that she wrote this song about that event. She was so upset by it. So yes, I have many reasons to feel personally connected to it. Even if I didn't this is a fucking powerful rock song
Deloris wrote this after 2 children were killed by an IRA bomb in the middle of a shopping area in England. She was performing that evening in an area nearby when it happened and it hit her hard. She is directing the song towards the IRA asking what is going on in your head? Do you think people are just zombies with no families, can't feel pain, can't feel loss? That's the gist of the song.
Your reaction was spot-on. The Cranberries were an Irish rock group & this song was written after an IRA bombing.
The 90's was something else 😢, the best era of music
The song is about something called the troubles or Northern Ireland conflict which the IRA tried to end British rule in Ireland. The lead singer wrote the song as a response to 2 kids killed ages 3 and 12 that were killed in bombings carried out by the IRA. It is also is considered a major factor in the ceasefire that has lasted since 1998 in Ireland.
RIP Dolores, you are a legend and sadly missed
Lets also give a big round of applause also to the Drummer Outstanding .. RIP Dolores ❤
I’m sure you know this, but I always loved the story of how Dolores told him to play the drums as violently as possible to further underscore the tone and message of the song.
This song is amazing.She was an incredible singer.Her voice and singing style was untouchable.
One of the most powerful songs ever made. Iconic AF
One of the most played songs on the radio back in my day. Her voice is absolutely breathtaking.. I can watch you all day.. your reactions are absolutely entertaining❤❤
No, no - your feeling about the song was completely 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, sir. ♡
Incredibly iconic song...RIP Delores💔
One of the most interesting things i have ever seen was an MMA fighter come out to this song in Ireland. They went to a short commercial break and the crowd was still singing zombie when they came back.
Couldnt even hear the ring announcer saying the fighters names, was a bonechilling experience.
Delores was a truly iconic singer. Her unique sound was so clear and beautiful. Zombie is definitely their signature song, but they have so many other wonderful songs. you have already done "Dreams" but "Linger", "Ode to my family" and "When you're gone" really need to be on the playlist soon. You will fall in love with the Cranberries and they will become a staple in any playlist.
About 2 boys killed in terrorist bombings. The war in Ireland ended long ago, but the hatred and killing continued long after 😢
One of my favorite songs of all time!
Bad Wolves rendention is another chilling one, right up your back 😂❤
"Linger" needs to be the next on your Cranberries playlist. And you nailed it - this is a protest song after an IRA bombing.
RIP Dolores She was a generational force 🖤
Bad Wolves did a very good tribute cover of this.
bad wolves cover is amazing
This song came out when I was ten. It was played on the radio constantly I listend to it over and over on my walkman. In the early to mid 90s that I remember on the news was always a conflict with the IRA someone always being killed and towns and businesses being bombed this song is a chilling anthem against that and all sensless acts of terror worldwide...as a kid I thought this video was so cool, so poweful but as am adult and mother seeing the little boys painted in gold screaming out in anguish kills me because of all the innocent lives lost and destroyed from violence, abuse, war or what have you it cuts deep! 😭
RIP Dolores
...and yes, read up on Irish history, especially the continuing conflict in that beautiful land. it will make this song even more poignant and potent when you listen again. 👌 thanks for reacting to this!
Women fronted bands were so good during this decade. In addition to this song, we had Hole, 4-Non Blondes, Alanis Morissette, Garbage, Lauryn Hill, Melissa Etheridge, Fiona Apple, and my personal favorite, Sade. Mary J. Bilge is a close second.
Thanks for reviewing this and please, more women Artist of the 90’s. And you need to hit up Arrested Development and The Fugees…
Thank you for the insightful reviews. You are doing an amazing job.
You got my sub for this specific song! It shows you were listening to us!!!!!!!!! Thank you🙏
RIP Delores
great powerful song! ♥
Just found you. Loved your reaction. Love from Ireland ❤❤❤
The Bad Wolves cover is also a must listen. Up there with Sound of Silence in terms of cover songs IMO. Dolores was set to reprise her vocals on their version the day she passed away. Bad Wolves proceeded to release the song and donate proceeds to her children.
He has no idea. Wow
The bad wolves cover is one of the greatest covers of all time in my opinion. So full of emotion and passion and just truly sad about the circumstances
i am an irish person. always makes me weepy
❤
🔥🔥🔥
A masterpiece.
RIP Dolores , so amazing.
Hi new sub from South Africa 🇿🇦
" The Irish people will only be free, when they own everything from the plough to the stars" - James Connolly
"I’ll wear no convicts uniform nor meekly serve my time that Britain might brand Irelands fight 800 years of crime.."Bobby Sands
When he said lightly I knew he was in for a quick reality check and it was sooner than I thought 😂😂
But seriously as an Irish woman this song is gutwrenchingly painful to hear but is so beautiful at the same time it stays on all my playlists to remind me.
I'm so glad you did it!! This is one hell of a masterpiece. Dolores never disappoints, if you want to continue down her amazing vocal journey, check out the songs my fellow peeps below have suggested!!
Keening is what she's doing with her voice. It's used to express grieving or mourning. ✌
I just touched my CDs of "Everybody else is doing it so why cant we?" and "no need to argue". I have "to the faithful departed" somewhere but I cant find it.
I been there in 2022 and it's stil there, still a wall between them
The war you mention at the start is between North-Ireland and the UK - such a beautiful song
It was not a war, it was a conflict, there are significant differences
So good ❤
You should react to the Bad Wolves cover of this song. They were set to do it as a duet with Delores but she passed away before it could be done so they did it as a tribute to her.
Never seen this video 😢 Damn, that’s context
Great song. I really enjoy your reactions
Look up about the Troubles between England and Ireland
RIP angel Delores
She was so beautiful and talented! Rip!
She's calling out the IRA and British for acting like a bunch of mindless Zombies for continuing a War that for the most part, has been over since the 1920s (A few flash points exempted). Every incident resulted in retaliation up through the 90s
Not a war, a “conflict” of sorts. Better now than it was thankfully
Do some research into what is referred to as "the troubles" in Ireland. It was a tragic conflict that lasted for decades and destroyed countless lives.
I enjoyed your reaction and your understanding of the basic message of the song without any advanced knowledge of the situation.
I was going to suggest this as well, then do a second reaction with background of what was going on.
She's keening. Irish style of singing
Bad Wolves does a modern version of this song that's amazing too
Baby girl was a doll. RIP dolores😢
Irish history in last century: Streatfights, Military, IRA, Bombs .....
Bad wolves did an awsome cover of this song you should check out.
❤🔥✊🔥👍
RIP Delores,,,
1) Dolores O'Riordan passed away a decade ago. 2)The black and white images (other than the band) are real ones from that time. 3) This is indeed an anti war song based on real facts that happened during the irish war between the irish catholics and the english protestants in Ireland during the 80's. 2 children were killed while they were going to shop for the mother's day. 4) if you want to learn moore about this events, you can also watch the movie :"bloody sunday" and listen to the U2 song : Sunday bloody sunday"
It was Irish Catholics and Irish protestants (not English)
Ok let's ay yu are right, because i didn't find any specific information so it is not clearly said if they were English or Irish, unless you have a reliable source, not wikipedia@@jameswiglesworth5004
OK you siad it ! I still can have English and Irish friends. Some gemran soldier killed my grandfather during WW II , Well guess what ?! I have german friends !@@jameswiglesworth5004
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥rest Dolores!
NOW YOU MUST DO "BAD WOLVES - ZOMBIE" It's an AMAZING cover/tribute to the lead singer Deloris who passed away (the same day she was going to sing on the cover) so they did it anyways and pay tribute.. so beautiful!! PLZ REACT!! YOU WILL LOVE!!!!!! BEST COVER EVER IMO!!
YES!!!❤ And, The Bad Wolves gave the proceeds to Delores' children. The music vid is a stunning tribute to her and the sentiment she was trying to convey here in this vid 25 yrs later. Simply beautiful all the way around.🥰
@@tinagilbert8902 WELL SAID!! 😊
Google : Ireland, The Troubles and you’ll get an idea of the guys with guns, little kids playing war games in there neighbourhood in not your typical war zone
It’s about the Irish and England going at each other the zombie reference is bec ppl blindly follow orders. The kids represent the next generation of zombies blindly being guided into war.
correct...
About the conflict in Nothern Ireland and the fact 2 young kids were killed in a bombing!
very funny. This Master of Intelligence said "I could be wrong.."😳
Never ever! He enjoyed one of the greatest education systems worldwide and his eloquent choice of words makes me jealous.
How could he be wrong?😮
How is one of my favorite cranberries somgs but never seen a reaction to it it is short but its fire and was in the movie single which has a all star soundtrack
It’s not just anti war, it’s about the troubles in Northern Ireland
The sound of my generation
The song was written in response to the death of Johnathan Ball, aged 3, and Tim Parry, aged 12, both of whom had been killed in the 1993 Warrington bombings, when two IRA improvised explosive devices hidden in litter bins were detonated in a shopping street in Warrington, England. The two boys had gone shopping to buy Mother's Day cards on one of the town's busiest shopping streets.
Dolores O'Riordan in 2017, on writing "Zombie".
It's an anti-terrorism song. It's not a nationalist or unionist song." SDLP leader Colum Eastwood wrote that "'Zombie' is an anti-war song written after the IRA killed 2 children in Warrington", adding that criticism of nationalist violence is not an endorsement of loyalist violence, writing "Most of us opposed both".
Zombie: will-less and speechless human...
their face or behaviour shows no feeling, understanding, or interest in what is going on around them. Anyone who receives orders or blindly executes orders..
The soldiers wer not the enemy, they were sent there as a peace keeping force to stop the Irish from killing each other. They then became the sandwich between the opposing forces and were hated by everybody........
The British soldier's weren't hated by the unionist/protestant people.
The song is about The Troubles. The Britts were bombing the Irish. The IRA got cptsd. It's a very sad part of history.
Well, you over simplified that more than a bit. The IRA was a terrorist group plain and simple. This song is specifically about one of their bombing, in a crowded shopping area, on Valentines day, when all the children were out shopping with their moms. Two children were killed in the blasts. Those bombing were but two of many targeting civilians.
You obviously know nothing about the troubles
Quite difficult to be as wrong as you are about this. Spectacularly ignorant.
Idk if you reacted to Bad wolf version, if you haven't you really should. She was suppose to do it with them ❤
I would like to recommend the Smashing Pumpkins. They were everywhere when I was in high school, but they have fallen off the map. It’s been quite a while, I would ask for Bullet with butterfly wings. Please❤
My interpretation is when you are exposed to violence so often, you become dead inside. The Irish Republican Army protests against being under British rule. This isn’t about a formal war, but both people suffer just the same.
Bad Wolves do a great version of this song. Dolores was supposed to be on it, but lost her before the recording😢😢
The child slowly taken was on life support for a few days until his mother let him go. The other boy died at the scene. They were out buying cards for Mother’s Day.
"Is this the middle of a war?" - No. Not exactly. This is in the middle of the Northern Irish... civil-ish war, commonly referred to as "The Troubles".
Ireland's fighting for independence from England since 1916.
My man’s thinking this could be about real zombies
IN 1993, 2 bombs went off killing several people, including a 3-year-old & a 12-year-old. It was done by the Irish Republican Army, in an English town & both the UK & the Irish people flipped out over this terrorism. The Cranberries are an Irish band & were horrified by this act.
You should also do Bad Wolves cover of this song.
I love it when you’re taking something new in. You’re so introspective. Yes, it’s war. I’m now questioning would I have been a part of the IRA…..maybe, I don’t know.
You should also check out 10,000 maniacs version of “Because The Night”. Natalie Merchant deserves some love.
RIP: Delores O'Riordan 💔🔥🎸U R Missed
Sadly, we lost Delores to an accidental drowning due to alcohol intoxication. She was 46 yrs. old. 😥
I thought I'd drop off another band for you to give a listen, if interested. "Little River Band - Take It Easy On Me (Official Music Video)" Take Care ~AB ~Nice reaction
dont get me wrong i love this song and alot of there songs ,but , when i first saw the video of it the millitary is like a bunch of zombies all they do is kill with no remorse and the children were the survivors trying to stay alive ..i didnt know the polotics behind the song ,,linger is there best song i think ...great job ty
IRA killed 1696 during the troubles vs British soldiers 299.
This song is about the killing, in Cheshire UK, of 2 innocent children, bombs were located in 2 rubbish bins seeing 1 go off pushing people towards the 2nd bomb delayed to go off for maximum effect.
Who did the killing without remorse?
Northern Ireland. Catch up.
It was all a big game played out by politicians, and we played into their hands 😢
Bad wolves do a great cover/tribute to zombie and Dolores
Here's my guess, AB the Creator, you never heard of Sunday Bloody Sunday? not the U2 song it was an incident that U2 and this song are about.
Ireland vs England
Is hard to understand until you know the history of what the English did to the Irish.
What exactly did we do to the irish?
@@douglastaggart9360 If you need to ask either you're in denial or never learned history.
@@douglastaggart9360 Read the history of the English occupation of Ireland, then you may understand, because your reaction
suggests you know nothing
@@christopherhorner-ox4xn i know that and understand that, i know we can't change what our ancestors did but if we don't forget we won't repeat. thanks for your post.
I'm a new sub to your channel. However I have been watching your Queen reactions. I am a huge Queen fan since a little girl and I'm so happy to watch your reactions. Can you please react to Queen's Spread Your Wings the official video and Who Wants to Live Forever from Budapest or Wembley July 12th for Freddie 's birthday Sept 5th. Please and thank you
She is keening.
Dolores is missed her death was shocking for me out of any celebrities because it was unexpected her voice was one of a kind
A little embarrassed I haven’t subscribed before cause I’ve loved a lot of ur reactions sorry
This is difficult to explain as an American and we will never fully understand. The UK has been being a Dick to Ireland for a longtime. It is like America started Bombing Ottawa.
You can see IRA signs for Bobby Sands en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Sands in the background. That might clue you in to some of the song. Also she's Keening for part of the time that's the sound that hurts your soul.
Keening is a traditional form of vocal lament and mourning for the dead in the Gaelic Celtic tradition, a ritual performed in Irish or Scots Gaelic at the wake or at the graveside
The talk to me lightly doesn't apply to the troubles.a keener tried to break through the hate between north and south.she was begging for her people to stop the violence. I was raised "england get the hell out of ireland". The whail of the soul is what she sang.
