The troubles in Ireland had gone on for decades, centuries even. Things were brutal and really really personal for people, she wrote this song after a bombing in a pub killed some children. The song is a plea to both sides to stop the killing and find another way. Its really hard to listen to and not start tearing up if you lived in the UK during this madness.
Je n ai pas vécue en g b ! mais cette chanson me donne de la tristesse pour le peuple irlandais ! et le clip 😭
When you say "a bombing in a pub" you refer to Warrington where the IRA killed 2 children ?
Dolores response to that was this song..."this is NOT MY family"...meaning we ( the normal ) people are not either IRA nor British Army.
Such a powerful song when in context
@@ezechielamadeus2828 I am just your average American with Irish descent and I can't even hear this song without tearing up..... Just the thought of my Irish kin going through these times just fills me with such sorrow and dismay.... I hopw to come to Ireland one day and trace my family heritage and pay my respects to this tragedy.....
@@tomgraham5536 the whole of the uk was going through it. The army might have been in Ireland but the IRA was blowing shit out of innocence people
@@hobgoblin13 both sides were killing innocent people. It was/is the result of 800 years of British colonization, subjugation and suppression of the Irish people.
I was a metalhead when this came out. Zombie taught me that music doesn't have to be metal to be heavy.
Good discovery on your part ,there are a lot who haven't got it yet :)
Her voice was an instrument..just amazing
100% Randy
plenty of metal bands have soft songs though, unless you only listen to like death metal songs etc
Dude Cranberries are heavy. Salvation is Great, like 70s punk feel.
Zombie was a visceral response to the death of two children in an IRA bombing in the Cheshire town of Warrington. Lead singer Dolores O' Roiodan was a great singer unfortunately she died at 46 from accidentally drowning in her bathtub in 2018. They said she had high levels of alcohol in her system. Linger is another great song.
It just guts me every time I hear one of her songs, to think of her dieing like that. Just crushes me.
@@tragicdeyz2641 me too.
This is the first I have ever heard of the cause of her death. So sad. The family kept it out of the public for the longest time, which was understandable.
@@tragicdeyz2641 me too. It was a horrible death but her songs will live on forever
@Stevie D - It would be helpful for the Gen Z and Millennials to know what "IRA" stands for and who they were fighting. That it's Catholics and Protestants fighting each other. Christians of different doctrines [interpretation of the bible] warring, just like Muslims. Sunni's, Shiites, Sunni and Wahhabites are ALL at war with each other.
Dolores was not just one of the greatest female voices in Rock, she was too an incredible multi-instrumentist who played electric/acoustic guitar, tin whistle, church organ, keyboard, piano, mandoline, etc. She was as well the main songwritter of the band
She needs to be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame
this two reactors have very low and limited education in history and music in general !
@@LionMetalMusic-videochannel no offence meant but most of the Americans reacting to songs videos I've watch are the same. Very little musical knowledge. Sometimes wonder how so many have not heard of bands like Queen etc. Always trying to hard to understand the meanings behind the lyrics, normally completely missing the mark. In these guys defence, at least they didn't do this a just asked for viewers to explain.
@@jimridge8453No offense but I always assumed they reacted to genres and eras they're unfamiliar with in order to expand their knowledge. I'm American and I haven't heard a song or artist on any reaction channel I don't already know.
@@jimridge8453 I agree. They showed respect by asking viewers to comment and explain, but yes, sadly so many young people are ignorant of history, especially if not American history. Come to think of it, they don't know US history either.
I’m a southern Irish woman and this is one of our anthems! Delores is missed dearly but you should really check out the story to why she did this song and react to linger also
We all want peace 💚 north or south, east or west
@@ryangerrard4048 never said we didn’t
@@andreacollins3204 yes ur right as 2 why she wrote it ...she will b missed 💔
this two reactors have very low and limited education in history and music in general !
@@LionMetalMusic-videochannel Maybe that is why they are exploring in this way?
1916 was The Easter Rebellion, an Irish Republican insurrection against the occupying British government in Ireland that went on until The Good Friday Peace Accord of 1998 was signed by both govt's. "The Troubles" was at its worst from the late 1960's-1998. 1972 was the pinnacle of the violence, lots of lives were lost in the bombings, mostly civilians. N Ireland has its own parliament in Belfast but to this day is still technically part of The U.K. and separate from The Republic of Ireland, though it does have an open border now. Check out Ode To My Family, Linger, Dreams, Free to Decide, Dreaming My Dreams
Thank you Joe Hynes for your concise explanation of the Troubles and it's root causes.
This is the best explanation so far.
Basically from the tail end of the 1st world war to the end of the 20th century this occupation lasted. By the time Dolores writes this song I'd imagine people had enough.
Joe would that be the same as Rod Stewart's song Grace referring to the same up rising
Je suis protestante et je pleure tout les morts , catholique , protestant une folie cette guerre orchestré par les autorités anglaises et zombie avec sunday bloody 2 des plus belles et tristes chanson sur cette guerre ! et ode to my family une des plus belles chansons que je connaisse ♥️
Why do Irish like to fucking lie?
Ireland was part of the UK not a British colony like India, Australia,New Zealand and Canada etc
A part of the UK
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
It wasn't a colony or a dominion
So there wasn't a occupying British force
Because Ireland and Irish people were British at the time
Irish parliament voted to join Great Britain and make the United Kingdom in 1801
Yes you wanted independence which is your right but it wasn't a occupation
That's like saying Quebec is being occupied by Canada which isn't true
bad wolves also has a cover of this so you might have heard that one too
as far as the meaning of the song, this was inspired by the IRA bombing in Warrington, Cheshire, England on March 20, 1993. Two children, Jonathan Ball and Tim Parry, were killed. The IRA (Irish Republican Army) is a militant group that was determined to remove British troops from Northern Ireland.
Lead singer Dolores O'Riordan claimed that "Zombie" speaks about "the Irish fight for independence that seems to last forever." The lyrics even say, "It's the same old theme since 1916."
Like the responsive works of Yeats, Heaney and U2, the Cranberries claim they wrote "Zombie" to be a "song for peace, peace among England and Ireland." >>
If not, you guys definitely need to react to Bad Wolves cover of it.
Bad wolves version is pretty awesome yes
The IRA wants self determination. they want to run Ireland without the English influence. in othrer words they want to secede from the English empire
I agree listen to bad wolves cover
@@angelskunk2206 please do. They were set to be in the studio with her the day after she died. They went on to record the track without her and donate all proceeds to her children. 💜
Linger and dreams are my favourite Cranberries songs. I think it's mentioned below that Zombie is about the conflict in Northern Ireland, and was inspired by an IRA bombing where several children were killed.
I love when you're gone too and even ode to my family or whatever it's called. Linger and dreams are easily favorites for me too
2 boys blown up in Warrington England 😔
This is a very difficult one to comment on, as I personally experienced a car bomb in Dublin in 1975. The roof of the car blew into the air, over a wall and Iron railings and a whole building, and landed about 50 m. from me. It's the sight of it and the boom which keep coming back to me, and irrational feeling of total hopelessness as to what to do and how to react afterwords. Yes, like zombies, many of us ran out to the street where it had happened, but we were all way above our heads. I thought I saw a head lying on the street, but that may just be my blurred memories of the occasion. Two years ago, in lockdown, as I was watching Mockinjay 2, there was a car bomb scene, and I got a whacking great big flashback, and had trouble sleeping for some time. This triggered my own therapy, which was dystopian-scifi stuff, and that settled me down. Weird you may say, but we face our anxieties by challenging them up front, or we are chickens. I believe Dolores may have written this song in one go in a fury. She hit the nail on the head. I morn that she is no longer with us.
What makes that part stick in your head is because of what she does, it’s called keening, it’s a sound made to respectfully portray your grief and sadness with your voice when someone died, it’s a haunting sound and even when you hear it at a funeral it sticks in your head forever.
My grandad was fighting in the trenches in France WW1 and after sustaining a number of wounds was then sent out to Ireland after 1916, out of the frying pan and in to the fire. He was from an Irish family living in London and clearly survived these wars or I would not be here.
The Troubles have affected us all and to a certain extent still do.
The Cranberries song Zombie is a poignant reminder that the innocent suffer in conflict on all sides
It was dedicated or created for two young men who were killed (by a carbomb, I think). Their names were painted on the building in the video. (???)
I could be completely wrong. This is what I remember reading.
A lot of people already described the Troubles and the IRA bombing that inspired this song, but in a more general sense, the song is calling out the perpetrators of violence. Their heads are so consumed with violence ("their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns,in your head,") that they carelessly inflict that violence onto the next generation, who are innocent of it. In the chorus, she's basically accusing them of being dead inside
This sample was used for Eminem's song off of Revival called "In Your Head", maybe that's where you heard it? Great reaction!
Cranberries - Ode to My Family is another really good one!
Yes. "Ode to My Family" is probably my favorite.
@@marcussmith6805 -Mine too!
One of their most beautiful songs is "Ode to My Family." Dolores really grabs your heart vocally on that ballad.
The song is 30yrs old. Still timeless. I was 15 when I first heard this on MTV.
It’s about the troubles in Ireland.
Both of y’all were completely captivated… 😂 love that… great music and great vocalist like her with a powerful message will do that to ya💯
You can't go wrong when picking a Cranberries song. Some of my favorites are Yeats grave, Ridiculous thoughts, Salvation, and The daffodil lament.
Zombie is one of those song that you don't "hear for the first time".
You just know it until one day you discover its name.
For me this so perfectly reflects the frustration at perpetual, sustained violence. I was 13 when this song came out and it always reminds me of all of the sectarian violence of my childhood (thankfully mostly heard of on the news though some family and friends were in the cross-hairs) - escapes from the Soviet block, 1989 revolutions, Tiananmen Square, apartheid, Bosnian war, KKK marches, wars in the Middle East, etc. This song removes any rose colored glasses to the past and reminds us that there are still so many zombies, that it is so easy to become one.
You haven't really experienced this song fully until you've heard it in the presence of Irishman. Craziest walkout I've ever heard was for a UFC Dublin card. Local Dubliner and OG veteran Aisling Daley was fighting at home for the first time in the UFC (and it would ultimately end up being her retirement fight as her next brain scan showed abnormalities) and she walked out to this. 10 thousand drunk, passionate, and extremely riled up Irishmen BELT this out. It's the only time I think I've ever heard an entire crowd singing a song like this as if it was a national anthem and they were literally all going to charge the gates of hell as one after.
The heaviest part of this is little Dolores with a guitar half her size commanding any room to sit down, shut up and listen. She was amazing. RIP.
Dolores Mary Eileen O'Riordan is a legend of Rock N Roll
Her voice gives me the shivers, in a good way. Amazing voice.
It’s about innocent people being killed during “The Troubles” in Ireland. 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 Warrington bombings, when two IRA improvised explosive devices hidden in litter bins were detonated in Warrington, England. Ball died at the scene of the bombing as a result of his shrapnel-inflicted injuries, and five days later, Parry lost his life as a result of head injuries. 56 others were injured, some seriously. Parry died in his father's arms in a hospital in Walton, Liverpool. The two boys had gone shopping to buy Mother's Day cards on one of the town's busiest shopping streets. The singer died of an overdose at 46.
The Cranberries - Ode to my family, Linger, Dreams and Salvation are a good starting point
Many ppl have already mentioned the meaning of the song. Here are other songs by The Cranberries: "Dreams"; "Ode to My Family"; "When You're Gone" and "Linger"
RIP Delores. You are loved & respected still. My family is of Scots-Northern Irish heritage & you have my undying gratitude & respect. 🍀
Another great Cranberries song is "Ode to my family" of the same album😊🔥
Some other great songs by The Cranberries "Dreams" "When Your Gone" "Linger" and "Ode to My Family" all classics.
RIP Dolores !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The violence of the troubles really scaled back after this song. I can't think of another song that touched as many people or actually changed the flow of events in this way. The world is a darker place without Dolores.
I have often thought about the power of this song and the subsequent peace that followed and took root (though people understandably still worry).
Obviously no song is that powerful on its own. More and more the people were tired of the Troubles. Unionist or Nationalist, Protestant or Catholic, people were just sickened by it all. For more and more it wasn't about "winning" anymore. More and more people were just tired and heartbroken. This song spoke to, and for, those people.
Not the usual narratives supporting one side or the other. It spoke for those just wanting to say ENOUGH!!!
Dolores has such a sweet angelic voice, love the Cranberries
One of the first compact discs i bought from my pocket money. I think it was in 1994. Loved this song so much then and still do today. RIP Dolores!
The British Crown INVADED and Annexed Ireland
Dreams, linger....she has such a unique voice!
I started listening to them in 1994. In 96 I bought their "To the faithful departed" when I was in the 5th grade. It was a rainy day. Sometimes when it rains I play it so I can feel that day again... It feels very nostalgic, but it´s magic too.
I love "Linger" by The Cranberries. It came out in 1993 when I was a Senior in High School. Still love it today
Yeah... Delores.... She was such a beautiful person with a voice that set the bar high. Check out Bad Wolves Zombie cover (official video). Delores was supposed to sing with them, but God said its time to come home. In the Bad Wolves video there is a woman in gold who represents Delores. I read somewhere that when the band showed up to shoot the video they were unaware of "the woman in gold". When they saw her they were visibly upset and needed a minute. Btw, notice how in the Bad Wolves video everything is black: the set, the instruments, the clothes...everything. Except the woman in gold. RIP DELORES
This a very good Irish band.... Awesome job guys!!
Delores, Chris an Chester where all taken from us in a very short time all together RIP to these absolute legands and Thank You for the music that we all loved!
Dolores Had The Voice Of An Angel & Now She Is One..Rest In Peace Dolores..Thanks For All You Gave Us..Gone But Definitely Not Forgotten 🙏 ❤
Please react to "Linger" next!
It is amazing! ❤🎵✌
RIP Delores 🙏🏻
I've heard this song many times and just picked up on that snare tone, love it.
Maybe imitating automatic gunfire? It certainly has an angry feel to it.
@@SlowLane-pv3nf sounds like an axe chopping to me. But that gunfire idea makes me think, maybe that's what they were going for? Guess I'll have to listen again
The song was used in the second season of the Roswell, New Mexico television series as the background music for the scenes of the first episode titled "Stay. In 2021, the song's acoustic version appeared on the soundtrack of Zack Snyder's film Army of the Dead.
rip dolores..🙏🙏one of the best voices and ppl in rock.
yes the song is serious about years of ppl killing each other....
The Cranberries! Been a fan since I was a teen. Great reaction! Dolores was amazing (rip). Linger, Ridiculous Thoughts, Dreams, The Icicle Melts, Twenty One. They have many amazing songs~
You should've reacted to the live performance! You would appreciate how great Dolores O' Riordan's vocals really were. And the crowd participation is awesome!! RIP Dolores O' Riordan
Of all the mostly-chill reactors out there, you guys are the best. You two put in a reaction in just the right place while mostly just grooving, and I like it. :)
Appreciate the mention guys and you seeing my comment 😁 and yeah it's pronounced the same as Meghan, it's just spelt without the h. If you listen to linger you can really hear her accent and you'll hear something known as keening in the song dreams that she does with her voice, it's also known as the Irish cry. zombie is about the Irish troubles and written about 2 young boys that were killed in a bombing
Lead singer Dolores O'Riordan claimed that "Zombie" speaks about "the Irish fight for independence that seems to last forever." The lyrics even say, "It's the same old theme since 1916." I have said it before and I'll say it again this is the best reaction channel on UA-cam by far. Could you please react to Tribute by Tenacious D
Yes, but to be clear, it was a song for peace and wasn’t taking either side.
TenD is such incel music lol pls no
i second that request tribute tenaicous d!
@@sarablack2547 thanks Sara
Yeh and it also speaks about the innocent British children murdered by the IRA. Stop pretending that it's pro-republican.
This song is really hard to listen to without getting sad or that feeling in your throat to this day, especially this year because of Russia Ukraine war...such a beautiful song.
I've loved this song the moment I heard the guitar in the beginning. The first time I saw this video was on the box Network in the 90s. "What's in your head.." sticks with you.
I love that guitar lick and bass line, thanks to your comment section I finally found out what this song was about.
Now you gotta react to "Bad wolves" cover of this!! Amazing!! She was supposed to appear on the song with them but died on that day... So made it a tribute to her! Donated all the proceeds to her kids...
The whole "no need to argue" album is amazing
And debut album, and To The Faithfull Departed, and Bury The Hatchet. The Cranberries are one of the gratest bands of all Time
This song makes me shiver. I was 18 on my first tour of duty and nearly lost my life in the bogside. More so at the moment . A couple of months ago a total stranger reached out to me for saving his life when his leg got blown of in a bomb attack
Chris Taylor selected "Zombie" as his entrance song for the 2019 Los Angeles Dodgers season.
The song was used in the second season of the Roswell, New Mexico television series as the background music for the scenes of the first episode titled "Stay (I Missed You)" that aired on 16 March 2020. Showrunner Carina Adly Mackenzie said that the song was used for several reasons, including as a "political connotation", adding that "[i]t's an incredibly powerful song" evoking "a lot of emotion".
In 2021, the song's acoustic version appeared on the soundtrack of Zack Snyder's film Army of the Dead. The song was played at the film's end, highlighting its central theme (a zombie outbreak)
I really enjoyed your reaction! 🙂 I was born in 1990 and my parents bought the album right when it was released in 1994 and listened to it up and down. So I grew up with the song 🙂 and I could hear it again and again.
Maybe you want to try "Aurora - Heathens (live version) ❤️
Eminem used this as a sample on his Revival album... Song called "In Your Head" it's a great song🔥🔥 React to it
Dolores didn't need to sample anyone else. It was all hers.
At Reckless this is Sea'mus , 1916 is the year Irish Declared Independence from England it is our version of the American's declaration of INDEPENDENCE 1776! just a side note this Song use's the same style of song writing called "Crescendo" Also used by another Irish band out DUBLIN called U2.
Your channel is for real one of my favorites on UA-cam because y'all stay reacting to my favorite songs.
This song has fine vocals by Dolores and fine playing by the rest of the group. Video is stunning and the history behind it holds very special meeting concerning British troops and the Irish Republican Army. RIP sweet Dolores, going way too soon and to all those killed in that conflict. Linger by the Cranberries is also worth a listen.
Man y'all are killing it with the versatility absolutely love this songs. beautiful. The bad wolves cover of this is great.Check it out theres a story behind it i wont get into✊🏼✌🏼💯
I met Dolores in 1992, such a sweet endearing warm kind woman, her passing was absolutely heartbreaking to me.😢
The Cranberries songs "Salvation" and "Ode to my family" are great ones to check out. RIP Dolores!
Rip to the singer
Eminem sampled this song on one of his joints. Maybe y’all heard it there?
I would suggest "No Need To Argue" or "Dreaming my Dreams" live on the BBC 1994. Both astonishing and beautiful live performances by a singular talent.
Dreams is probably my favourite song. It was written by Delores about her first love. It's a really uptempo and romantic song sung in Delores inimitable style. Shine on Delores, you were brilliant!
Damn those silent screams during the breakdown/solo bridge thing Hurts my soul knowing What this song is about, Which is about 3 children(I think) who were killed by an IRA bomb Plus its just generally an Anti war song.
Yall should react to the cover song by Bad Wolves. She was going to record the song with them but passed away that very day. They did an awesome song to comemerate her.
This song gives me chills every time. It brings tears and heartache every time. I grew up in the 80's in Manchester, England where we were very aware of the Troubles and had regular IRA threats and actual bombings. Her keening really explains the pain.
Me too it wasn't nice wss it
Reckless you need to see the live version i think in Ireland, you will appreciate the whole band as well as some of the best drumming you have seen & of course Dolores great voice & yodel
Eminem's "in your head" is a great song that uses a sample from the song too.
Yeah I was going to suggest bad wolves cover of the song. They did a great job. And when they were planning to record the song the lead singer was supposed to reprise her role and ended up passing away that day. So the other guy took over the lead vocals and they donated I think all the money from the song to her family something along those lines their music video is really well put together too and sad
Definitely check out bad wolves version so intense ❤️
History Lesson 101 -
I know a few of people (including me) have commented about the context of the song, but the reference to 1916 and pretty much the whole start of "the troubles" was the 1916 "Easter Uprising" when the Irish (not all of them) rose against the English (not all of them) occupation of Ireland.
Of course this was going on for centuries beforehand anyway (as the Scottish and Welsh)
But since 1916, (Northern) Ireland has been a hotbed of contention between loyalist and separatists (on top of the brewing religious shanenigans)
There have been lulls in my lifetime (and I DO remember the 1993 bombings vividly) but they are still unresolved sadly.
Anyway...enjoy the song and be safe :)
If y'all are also curious about the murals on the homes and buildings, there is a documentary called Art of Conflict narrated by Vince Vaughn. Gives a perceptive of both sides of the conflict from the mural painters in Belfast as well as some history on the Troubles.
I think the song is about ireland and northern ireland fighting each other for decades.
It was used in the riff off in pitch perfect 3 for Zombie Apocalypse mixed with other songs.
I love Dolores to the end of the world, and I mourn her with every listen of every song of theirs. What a heartbreak when we lost her.
But -
That being said (I'm a drummer), the drums on every Cranberries track KILL. Fergal Lawler is one of the most underrated drummers out there - and he's underrated on account of his humility. He knew Dolores was the star of the show, and he sat in the back seat. AND HE CRUSHED IT.
Zombie, Disappointment, Sunday, Ridiculous Thoughts, Wanted, Salvation.... he's so tasteful.
But more importantly, RIP Dolores. Shit.
This song is so popular you could have heard it in a store playing. Once you know the meaning behind the song it hits even harder. Beautiful. A band called bad wolves redid this song a few years ago. The cranberries lead singer Delores was to sing it with them and sadly passed away a day or so before the recording. Their video shows tribute to her.
This song was part of the Pitch Perfect 3 riff off, Ruby Rose's character sang it. It was where I first heard it and went searching for the original. Was blown away when I heard the original. So freaking powerful.
Ode To My Family is one of my favorite songs from the Cranberries and not many people react to it. It gets me emotional.
I listened to mostly hip hop in HS but by BF always sang this live and played guitar along with Jewel, Led Z and Janis J. Looooove
You can really tell when an artist means it. This is a perfect example of that.
Dolores O'Riordan had a few solo albums before she passed away as well. I recommend "Ordinary Day" from the "Are You Listening?" album.
I was in West Belfast with army. This song just brings all the horrendous memories back 🥲
Another UK superband is a band called Depeche Mode they are from England the peak of there fame was mid 80's to late 90's still they are filling out stadiums on there tours the latest being 2018 i recommend trying of there song "Personal Jesus " or "Enjoy The Silence "
I've watched this video countless times, but finally noticed the cherub fires an arrow as Delores clutches her head. The same child tries to throw a stick and is killed. As the song ends, the cherubs suspiciously and forlornly pull their bows back again, to start the next cycle of violence.
I still have that album on CD. Did many grad school papers to that entire Album “No need to Argue.”
One of my favorite 90's rock songs R.I.P Dolores
The Bad Wolves cover of this song is a must... Dolores was planned to do the vocals for it, but she passed just before the recording session... the rest you need to check out for yourselves :)
Best advice I can give for a next song is anyone they ever put out. Just pick one and you will see what they bring to the table each and every time. One of the best bands with one of my top 5 all time favorite voices. Really can't go wrong.
You guys should react to U2 another Irish band. Where the Streets have no name and With or without you are some of their big songs.
From wikepedia ""Zombie" is a protest song by Irish alternative rock[1] band the Cranberries, written by the band's lead singer Dolores O'Riordan in memory of Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry (children), who were killed in the 1993 Warrington bombings. "
On the Warrington bombings, Wikepedia says "The Warrington bombings were two separate bomb attacks that took place during early 1993 in Warrington, Cheshire, England. The first attack happened on 26 February, when a bomb exploded at a gas storage facility. This first explosion caused extensive damage, but no injuries. While fleeing the scene, the bombers shot and injured a police officer and two of the bombers were caught following a high-speed car chase. The second attack happened on 20 March, when two smaller bombs exploded in litter bins outside shops and businesses on Bridge Street. Two children were killed and a total of 56 people were injured.
The attacks were carried out by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA). From the early 1970s, the IRA had been carrying out attacks in both Northern Ireland and England with the stated goal of putting pressure on the UK Government to withdraw from Northern Ireland.[2] The IRA was designated a terrorist organisation."
This song is often sung at weddings and birthdays in Ireland. It has so much meaning to our culture and speaks to the desire for peace and families to be united by love.
Do not be a A&& hol e bro.
U got effen girl...do not be a jak A&&❤️❤️😭
Linger, Dreams, Ode to my Family are others worth reacting to by the Cranberries. Also Sinéad O'Connor has a sort of similar Irish voice and there is a great emotionalvideo she did for Nothing Compares 2U. It was written by Prince.
The song was a response to the death of two children, 12 and 3, in an IRA bombing. I'm not going to try to explain the "troubles" in Ireland, between the Irish and English, and later between Irish Catholics and Protestants. There are plenty of places online to read about all that. Suffice to say that the song is a call for peace. Its a call to wake up from the generational hatred, built by centuries of death and pain.
My favorite part of the lyrics is the title. Zombie. The duality of ideas that presents in one word is great. First, a mindless being on autopilot, acting only out of instinctual aggression. Second, its a person that is dead already, but doesn't know it - almost saying 'unless you move on and choose peace you are already dead'.
Really great stuff.
You should watch this song used as a walkout song for Peter Quelly fighting in Bellator MMA in Dublin, it will give you shivers how the crowd sing it
Big Fan of the Cranberries here. This song was played in the closing moments of a 2021 Netflix movie. I cant recall the name right not, but it was the one where a group of people go to clean out Las Vegas of all the money. But the place is overrun with zombies. You should check out all their songs. So much energy, meaningful lyrics and amazing voice and music.
Ode To My Family is an awesome Cranberries song!
