    Let's remember their names: Three-year-old Johnathan Ball was killed when two bombs hidden in litter bins detonated on a busy shopping street in March 1993. Tim Parry, aged 12, died five days later. There were many other victims, but this is the incident that inspired the song.

      Between 1969-2003 there were over 16,000 bombings. In Belfast, on 21 July 1972, 19 IRA bombs were detonated in little over an hour. Most attacks were orchestrated by the IRA, but loyalist paramilitaries from the UVF, UFF and UVF also carried out bombing campaigns. Terrorism was orchestrated by both sides and it was mostly innocent civilians that paid the price. I was born in 1993 and whilst I wasn’t around during the worst days of the Troubles, I’ve still heard the sound of bombs and gunfire. Thankfully the violence has subsided and hostilities are mostly in the past. Northern Ireland is a safe place to live in and visit. Although sadly there are still some that cling to the past. To give you an example, in 2019 a 29 year old reporter, Lyra McKee was murdered in crossfire when a New IRA gunman started shooting towards the police. She dedicated her life to speaking out about the Troubles and LGBT rights, she was researching unsolved killings during the conflict at the time she died and never finished her second book. Lyra had only just bought an engagement ring and was about to propose to her partner.

    They actually filmed in Belfast in the heartland of the Troubles, getting permission from the British army by saying they were making a documentary about the peace-keeping efforts, so those shots of the soldiers, graffiti etc are real. The b/w of the band playing was filmed in Dublin.
    The vocal technique she uses is keening - a classic Irish (and Scottish) vocal lament. The song and video are haunting and when it was released it was profoundly shocking - am An Old and remember it well.

    It still cuts me up every time. As a Scot with Irish heritage and growing up watching the troubles regularly on the news, it takes me back to my childhood. I remember going shopping in Glasgow and having to regularly leave stores with my mum aged 10 cause of bomb scares. It was much worse in Ireland as they had to check under their cars for detonators every time before driving off. Dolores' voice giving way to 'keening' the Irish funeral lament is so haunting. There is also a Scottish Gaelic version of this too, but I only know a few words of Gaelic being on the West coast.

I’m a 49 year old American (Arkansas), certainly old enough to remember what it was like still in the 80s and 90s, and honestly I sometimes get frustrated with feeling like so many people are living under a rock concerning major global events.

    An artifact of the Easter Sunday, 1916 rising. The sound of British artillery, and of the firing squads thereafter kept ringing in the ears of all involved. Generations of zombies on both sides infected their children with their hate for one another, and some even refused to take 'yes' for an answer once the peace was negotiated in the 1990's. Small wonder O'Riordan (RIP) got so angry.

      The Catholic Church had Keening almost forgotten. The church found it pagan and wanted it stopped, the hunt to try and destroy the ancient rites was done all over the world. If they couldn’t erase it they adapted some practices into Christianity.Keening was rediscovered by some from early recordings. It’s not a common practice.

    I've said this on numerous reactions to this song but this was my childhood, literally.
    I grew up on the Ardoyne Road in North Belfast in the 80s. Everything from the soldiers patrolling the streets to us kids playing around in derelict houses, including climbing up onto roofs and jumping around (as well as other roofs like the ones on the Wheatfield or Holy Cross girls primary schools).
    The murals shown in this video were ones that we passed regularly.
    I still remember the principle of R.B.A.I. (my secondary school that I was going to at the time) telling us the story of the Warrington Bomb as he had been in England that weekend and when travelling close to the area whilst driving up to get the ferry back to Belfast. He was extremely posh so for us a kids to hear him cursing in the assembly was a shock to all the pupils and showed just how much it had affected him.

All the time whilst she had a brain tumour and was mocked for balding.

Please react to the 'Bad Wolves' cover of this song while this one is still fresh in your mind.

    If you wanna check more of the Cranberries and just get a glimpse of her capabilities, I'd recommend the song Promises, live from Paris in 1999. Incredibly energetic, sounding exact to the album version, but even better, without any hiccups or flat notes. Her vocal control was just spectacular.

    It also surprises me how smart you really are with like facts and histroy and events. Like you were just pulling this off the top of your head. Something I could never fathom. But again another good break down. They show the kid with the gun and then the soldier as well. And it makes me wonder if that kid was the soldier after he grew up. It just comes across as a possible thing. But love the song and your break down!

    The fact she mentioned bombs twice, is accurate, not just a lyrical repeat. Both sides had bombs. She was pointing fingers at two entities, with "their bombs" and "their bombs".

    Have loved this song since the day it came out, and will never get tired of it. I loved a lot of the songs the band came out with. The Bad Wolves version is also a beautiful rendition., and contribution to The Cranberries and the lead singer, Dolores Mary Eileen O'Riordan, after her accidental drowning, due to alcohol intoxication in January 2018. May she rest in peace, and her legacy go on.

    Also there is a Ren song im not sure many people have heard with a girl called Bibi. Its called "Crutch". Holy moly not only is the song great, just like everything Ren does, but the video is absolutely beautiful too.
