I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.
Hailing from Ireland, The Cranberries would be the largest musical export from the country since U2. The band’s first two albums which were released in the 90's would be massive sellers, but by the later part of the decade, band was on the brink of collapse. Cancelled tours and controversy led to the band falling apart almost a decade after taking over the world. The band would remerge in 2009 until it all came crashing down almost a decade later resulting n the end of one of the most successful alternative bands to come out of the last three decades..

In 1995, I worked for a catering company that catered events for Bill Graham Productions events in California. We were catering for the Cranberries concert at the Berkeley Community Theater, and my boss told me "the lead singer is asking for a vegan meal. Can you make her some lentils?" Lentils are something I knew I made really well, thankfully. I made sure to season them with a touch of Indian spices, and added fresh tomato, onion, garlic, olive oil...anyway, about an hour later, a tiny lady appeared at the entrance of our dungeon-like, dark kitchen deep within the windowless depths of the Theater. She asked "who made the lentils?" I raised my hand up and she said "thanks very much. They are delicious!" I was so happy and on such a high from that. I think of it everytime I hear them😌
She was a lovely lady
As a fellow vegan - reading this has made me hungry!
Aw, that’s so sweet! ❤️ I didn’t even know she’d passed until this video popped in my feed. 😕
That is so cool!
Nice story!Thanks for sharing. Everything that stays after us are these verbal,non-verbal emotions we have been given to others
that was beyond solid for Bad Wolves to hand over the proceeds of their "Zombie" rendition to Dolores' children. much respect to them for that.
❤ 🕊
Yep, it's good to see humanity in a world often devoid of it...
Im still on the pre video ad....they did that??? Thats awesome!!
The only thing Bad Wolves sis that was ok!
They didn't donate all the proceeds. Just a quarter of a million. Still, great though.
RIP to the Irish angel. She had one of the most beautiful voices that has ever been heard.
Yes indeed!
Aye
You're kidding, right?
@@Zombielikesbrainwhat do you mean they’re kidding??? One of the greatest voices!!!
@@Zombielikesbrain You have terrible ears. You must be tone deaf.
In '94 I lived on a farm in Saugerties NY (my home town) on Churchland Lane, MTV came & rented out the farm as a homebase for MTV's Woodstock '94 coverage. At one point that weekend I looked out my window & there was Dolores preparing for an interview, so I said "I love you Dolores" & she replied " I love you too". As a 19 year old kid living on sight of the fest that weekend was filled with numerous unforgettable memories, but that moment was by far the highlight.
So sad. She had a cottage near me in Ontario, Canada. My brother delivered furniture to her with me and she played the piano for us and she had one of her kids there. She was so polite and generous. I've been a fan from the start. She was so talented and had her own style which she never wavered from. She fought to make sure she would be heard. With all that she went through I believe she didn't kill herself on purpose. She just wanted to relax and zone out and clear her head. Bi-polar disorder is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Having 2 children to care for in a very busy lifestyle breaks my heart for her. The stress she had to endure must have been debilitating. She is missed. RiP Dolores.
Really? I have a cottage in ON. Wonder what area?
Wow yes very sad I bet she was so awesome to know RIP and never forgotten
Cool
What lake was it on? I thought I had heard it was Buckhorn or Stony
@@glennbradley5888 between Pigeon and Little Bald somewhere
I cried when I heard of her death, and I'm a Grandma in my 60's. My kids had all the Cranberries CDs in the 90's, and somehow they all ended up with ME. Just like their Alanis Morissette and Joan Osborne.
Me too. I loved her voice. So sad..
Alanis Morissette im so sorry for you
@TRIX Alanis MoreUpset lol (bit tacky for a pun here but you opened the door, mate!)
@@kittenfuud
Alanis Morissette sucks although opinions are like @$$hol$ everyone has one
@@trix9438 lol even Alanis.
I met Delores in 93 while working as a stagehand at a Hothouse Flowers concert in Hannover, Germany where the Cranberries were the support band. Initially, we didn't get along, but finally I asked for her autograph and she wrote "Nice to meet you. Love, Delores xx".
She gave me a big hug.
A pleasant memory of a good human being.
Now knowing her diagnosis, I can see why you felt you weren't getting along with her, when all along, she actually liked you.
@@tigergreg8 That's quite a leap of logic. Curious as to why they actually didn't get along.
It's not about you ass.
Well covered sir! I'm from Northern Ireland. Zombie was a massive hit when it was released because it spoke of the horror of the Troubles and united kids from both NI and the Republic of Ireland. The band crashed onto the scene with a bang. I was studying performing arts at the time, and they were everywhere. A massive influence on all of us, even the metal heads. They proved that Irish bands really could make something of themselves and that Irishness no longer represented a roadblock to success. Long live Dolores' memory. She was a true inspiration and one of the finest singers our island has produced.
And the band was, basically, a, 'One Hit Wonder'.
@@samr.england613yeah a bigoted Catholic demonic one at that.
I was in high school in the 90's and I just loved them. Her death was SO shocking.
Yep, we were truly blessed to go to high school in the 90's, especially being fed a constant stream of brilliant music, and nobody had cell phones or social media!!!
Yeah, her death along with Chris Cornell, Kurt Cobain, Chester Bennington, etc are all highly suspicious in my opinion.
@@joshuayettou3552 yes, soaked in bleach was very interesting
When did she die?
disheveled? she die?
I had an Irish girlfriend back when Cranberries got huge and she loved them (and everything Irish to be fair) So I kinda dismissed them but they soon grew on me as you just couldn't escape Zombie, Linger and Dreams in the 90s. Now I love them, Dolores voice is hauntingly beautiful and the tunes are incredible. Now, hearing their songs reminds me of my first girlfriend and easier, simpler, happier times in the 90s. RIP Dolores, you certainly made a big impact on music across the world and your legend lives on!
Irish women are so lovely 😍
@@buzzbear822 lovely and a little crazy too. Like the reputation the Irish have, she could drink like a fish too haha!
@Disturbed haha! I met her large family too, all of them loving my surname (Kennedy is a surname with Irish origins) and blue eyes (all of them insisting that I had Irish eyes) but I'm English through and through. Plus they'd be talking of marriage and I was only 17-early 20s, marriage being the last thing on my mind at that age.
Red hair and blue eyes?
@@Twobarpsi no, medium brown hair. My ex wife had ginger hair but our 3 children (2 girls and a boy) all took after me (blonde hair when young and going to medium brown when older) Hopefully they don't get my premature greying hair! My son (he lives with me) in particular is like a mini, cuter, better looking clone of me.
I managed to score a ticket to see The Cranberries at The Albert Hall in London.. just amazing. Somehow i found myself at the front and sang my soul out to Dolores. At the time I was working as a motocycle courier and a couple of days later I was waiting outside MTV studios. A car pulled up and Dolores got out.. i said "hello Dolores," she turned around to me and turned back. Then she turned back to me,pointed at me and said "you".. And her smile.. so beautiful.. miss you.
I was living near Belfast when Zombie was released. The troubles were tiring people out and nobody wanted it to continue except the gangsters making money from it and those indoctrinated into the paramilitaries, who had lost loved ones and were still hell bent on revenge. What made this stand out was that it was like a breath of fresh air, giving the regular folks in Northern Ireland a song they could relate to. A song that predicated the signing of the peace treaty. The people didn't want it anymore and this song reflected it perfectly. Everyone I knew would talk about the song, sing the song and when it came on MTV it was always a blessing.
The song was released after the peace treaty was signed...
@@Jreb1865No it wasn’t….the song was released in ‘94. The peace accords happened years later, around 1998. Lazy dumb comment.
@@Jreb1865, the song was released in 1994, when the peace treaty was signed in 1998.
The Cranberries' songs were my college anthems. I was so sad to hear of Dolores' passing; I still feel the loss. I hope her kids are okay.
Her voice was so incredible.
Voice of an Angel.............
Her songs tap into emotions we dont even realize we have or can feel. Its MAGIC, Everytime I hear her I turn it up, stop what I am doing and fade into another place I don't wanna come back from, that is the POWER of The Cranberries
Her voice will live forever
Seriously. Their debut album is something I’ve never heard before. Haunting almost
Dolores and her wonderful band The Cranberries saved me from suicide on several occasions. Their music speaks to my soul, RIP, Dolores your beautiful spirit is missed.
I absolutely loved The Cranberries, never heard anything of theirs I didn't like, as for Dolores, what a talent! A unique voice, great songwriting and so, SO beautiful!!
Linger is probably my favorite song of all time. What a wonderful lyricist and singer Dolores was. Still breaks my heart thinking of her being gone. Gone, but never forgotten. R.I.P. Dolores, we love you!
One of my metalhead buddies went to see the Cranberries, he gushed about how good they were and how beautiful Delores was. For months. He was not wrong, though.
I think every Metalhead loves The Cranberries..
Dude. Love em. We do listen to shut other than metal ya know
@@DetroitFettyghost I know as I've been listening to Maiden and Metallica up to the heaviest Death and Black metal for the past 30 years..
@@jamesmacoisdealbhaigh9904 Word my man. Exactly 30 almost 31 years since I bought my own first albums. Thankfully, my dad had extremely good musical tastes he was into Metallica, Celtic frost, Maiden etc etc while I wasn't even in school yet. Been surrounded by great music my whole life. Gratefully.
@@DetroitFettyghost Truth. Especially as I get older.
I heard "linger" when I was 15 years old. I still remember the first time I heard it. It was like something from another world and it completely blew me away. Her Irish gate and folkish angelic voice put me in a trance and till this day I'd say it's the song that turned me onto music. Thank you Dolores!
Took the words right out of the Aussie blokes mouth , what a tune
I actually met the band while I was in high school, they were all absolutely cool. Dolores was especially sweet. She had a sadness in her eyes that I saw myself up close. God bless her and she is free from that sadness now. Sadly the world is missing a special angel but God has his special angel in heaven
May she rest in peace and rise in glory. Her vocals were amazing.
Being in High School when they hit big was amazing. We’d just had Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Sublime, and now here came the Cranberries. Such a different sound and message. Zombie was heartbreakingly beautiful and sad at the same time. When I heard that she was going to do the new version I was so excited! Bad Wolves seemed like a good fit. Then the news that she passed came out. I cried like a baby that day. Another piece of my teenage years gone too soon. Thank you @Rock N’ Roll True Stories for this great video. Great job covering Delores. RIP sweet angel, I hope you have peace, rest and feel safe now.
Cranberries just had such a new and unique sound. Fantastic group
@@gatorman5932 yes they did.
Loved being a teenager in the 90's. I miss those times
@@GermanShepherdDaphne so much fun. The last of the no evidence, unless someone took pictures. Finding $5 meant enough for Taco Bell and gas money to the beach.
@@mza2195 I was also a teen in the 90’s. They were the BEST!! Kind of feel bad what these kids go through today.
May you find the peace in death that you could not find in life. Rest In Peace Dolores O'Riordan. 🇮🇪🌹🥀✝️
❤🕊 Dolores.
Very, very well said God bless you for your thoughtful comment 🙏🙏🙏
lol nice From Dusk till Dawn reference!
She truly suffered, it's so extremely s@d but no one cn hurt her now🙏
@@evelina787 May Zeus bless him (?) as well.
My drummer buddy was the drum tech for them up until her death, they were all blown away about it and a very sad state of affairs. R I P sweetheart.
Saw this group live once at Great Woods in Mansfield, MA. Very accomplished, tight performance fronted by Delores’s powerful yet angelic vocals. Totally blew me away!
The voice of a siren....always just drew you in....and I'm so sorry she left so soon.....what a beautiful lovely gifted young lady..
She does not sound like a horn. How dare you.
@@CooManTunes you don't understand the comment. A siren is a mythical creature that drew you in by their voice. Mermaids could be an example
I remember being a teenager listening the whole albums completely: no need to argue and everybody else is doing it… I also discovered the Smiths because of The Cranberries mentioning them as one of their influences. RIP Dolores
I remember listening to linger for the first time. And I remember how beautiful the band sounded. To this day I could recognize the song even if other songs are playing. One of the most memorable bands that I know.
Truly one of a kind. She’ll be loved and appreciated and missed forever. RIP Dolores.
Rest in Peace Dolores. May your haunting beauty live on.
Indeed. Beautiful beyond life itself. Makes me tear up. I'm sad anyways tho. Take care.
🤦
@@DetroitFettyghost HEY, I hope you're not still sad. 😁🖐️🇳🇿
She was so talented.
Had a little crush on her when I was a kid.
I hope she finally found some peace.
Her voice overdub onto her own voice on the song " I Still Do" is atmospheric, haunting and truly beautiful. R.I.P. Dolores
I've watched them live just a couple years before Dolores' death. Her voice and presence were incredible! RIP Deloris 💔
Dolores.
@@ThePolypam unforgivable typo. Thank you.
I was so lucky to see them live in the 90s when they were at their peak. She sang so wonderfully live and the whole band is so talented.
skilled. forget about talent.
I didn't expect this video to make me cry but it did. RIP Dolores. Your music will always remind me of good days; high school in the 90's.
Such a magical time.
I had to stop when the video was talking about "Zombie".
I'm mixed English and Irish (some Jewish too) and I just wanted the fighting to end. I think Dolores did more than most to help that progress toward peace.
To me "Ode to my family" is the most beautiful song they ever released. I still have the cd single at home.
That song makes me cry. It is so beautiful and hurtful.
Good call!
💯
I used to hear Linger on K-ROQ here in Los Angeles a lot during the early 90s at work. Dolores's death is incredibly sad that song always did something to me.
I'm still absolutely gutted at the loss of Dolores, I can't believe she's gone. What an absolute loss to her family, friends the music industry and her fans. I've loved the Cranberries since day 1, but I never got to see them live. It was always a case of, 'some day'. Now it's too late.. My faves have to be 'Zombie' and 'Promises'. RIP Dolores, you are greatly missed.x
I absolutely love this band, I remember being a kid and watching the Linger, Dreams and Ode To My Family music videos and being absolutely in love with her and her voice. God, that band had such an incredible sound that I still love to this day. Zombie, I Will Always, You and Me, When You're Gone, How, Why... Man, what an amazing catalog of music. I miss the music industry being this unique and full of variety.
Yup almost all music post 2000 doesn't have a unique sound to it. Except System of a Down! They were unique!
There's even more variety now, you just have to know where to find it. Obviously, most of the good artists are barely scraping by, or even have dayjobs - but the music is there, and totally worth supporting. It's like every variety of music that I loved from the late 80s and early 90s has an evolved version of it someplace, and even some people that nearly resemble bands i loved, just doing new things with the sound. Granted, the sound of nostalgia is the greatest sound of all, because we have memories and rose tinted glasses of youth to link up with all those songs. Still, if you dig around enough, there are some amazing bands out there. Lately I'm hooked on Speedy Ortiz - Major Arcana album, they remind me of everything I loved from 90s bands like Sleater-Kinney or Heavens To Betsy and all that good stuff
@@chloewebb5526 None of nowadays music is becoming a classic. These songs from the past will be relevant in 100 years.
@@PatchouliPenny Listen to Milky Chance... you won't be disappointed.🌞🌞🌞
She had me too dude..like just wow. We didn't even stand a chance.
Dreams is my favorite Cranberries song. I got to see them twice. Once in New Jersey and a second time in Toronto. I was so sad when I heard about Dolores' passing. It hit me hard. She had such a beautiful voice.
One of the Greatest voices in music.
RIP Dolores
Terrible loss she was super talented. Dolores was gifted and artistically genuine.
Thank You for This!!!!!
Linger and zombie are genuine musical classics
I disagree, but these are all opinions, so I respect yours....
@@brianmiller6061 Perhaps you can elaborate on why you feel they are not classics? I think any song that has managed to affect people in the way those two songs have can be considered classics. They both came directly from O'Riordan's heart, speaking to real issues that either she or society were experiencing, they do so in a compelling way, and they both showcase her unique vocal talents, which was critical to the band's success as she was largely "the sound" of the band. So what makes them *not* classics?
They are! Their music was magical.
I never understood why anyone was ever likening Zombie to grunge. To me it sounded like My Bloody Valentine (another Irish band).
I've since put it down to Americans not understanding Ireland (or British Isles generally).
Ireland has produced some really genuine meaningful music. Never met an Irish person I didn't like. Glad to hear they finally have peace.
Thank you for this, all of us who were lucky enough to grow up in that era, know that bands like The Cranberries and singers like Dolores are as rare as a four-leaf clover, specially nowadays.
The Cranberries were one of my first concerts ever. I still remember she played that show in Austin with her back mostly to the crowd. True fans connected with the music though…not whether or not an artist faced the audience live. I had the chance to see her again on her solo tour. It really seemed so magical to me that she came full circle from that first time I saw her. She is truly one of those voices I can hear a second of and instantly recognize. What a talent. RIP Dolores.💚🎚🙏
She was a magical artist
apparently Dolores was so shy, so stage frightened, so unaccustomed to the huge crowds, couldnt do her art the usual way looking out from the stage.
RIP Dolores, we ALL miss you terribly.
Then came Sia . . .
Love you Dolores 🤍😭
Same. Montreal may 10th 2002. First concert and I'll never forget it. RIP Dolores.
Darcy used to face away from the crowd a lot when she was with The Smashing Pumpkins. I think it's more nerves than being disrespectful.
I'm nearly sixty years old and faintly remember them but yesterday at the bar somebody played one of their songs and I said who the hell is that voice? This morning I found this in my UA-cam feed. I have no idea why. I'm just enamored with this young lady. What a tragic loss. She had an incredible voice. RIP you are an angel...
She was simply so unique. Her natural voice always gives me infectious goosebumps. And just the name for her band. Cranberries A natural juice that i use to detoxify. Just like her songs does to my soul. Rest easy lady🤗
I have listened to and loved The Cranberries' music for years. A few years ago, before Dolores' death, I saw an ad for an upcoming Cranberries tour. I'd never seen them live before, so I was excited that I might finally be able to do so. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend. Not long after, I heard about Dolores' death. Even though I never saw them live, their music was very personal to me. And I was taken aback by her death. Thankfully, their music will always live on for me. I will be forever grateful that they shared their music with the world. We are the better for it.
This one...hits so hard. I remember sobbing the day I heard Dolores O' Riordan died. Their music is that of my youth. thank you for making this exquisite video.
I loved them in the 90s. I still listen to them at 52. One of the best bands!❤️
Me too.
Same
I’m 50 and right there with you. I was front row center at Woodstock 94 at 23 years old absolutely enamored with that amazingly beautiful voice and equally beautiful young woman. I’ll admit to bursting into tears the day I heard she died, as if I’d lost one of the greatest loves of my lifetime. In many ways, I did.
@@frightlights6399 I'm 51 Bazooka Juice I recently bought all their CD's again. One of a kind band. Cranberries had a one of a kind sonic structure. They are their own genre. RIP Dolores O'riordan 🎹🙏
@@frightlights6399 very blessed to have had those seats at 94 Woodstock. 👌
No one has keened like her before or since. Greatest female voice of all time. Totally irreplaceable
What does “keened” mean?
@@johndough1703 No expert on this by any means, but in part, it's the sort of "yodel" she does in various places, but most notably after the word "zombie".
I've been binge watching a lot of your videos and I'm blown away by the amount of research that goes into these videos. you're awesome.
“Linger” still brings tears to my eyes. Such talent!
Their sound was otherworldly. Like nothing I'd ever heard before, and it contrasted with the grunge/Seattle sound of the time, so it was always in my rotation .
I saw them live back in the 90s. Her performance of Zombie was FANTASTIC.
Poor tortured soul, she was a beautiful old soul. Dolores now has her wings as an Angel. R.I.P.
Dreams, Linger, Zombie...so many good songs. Miss them
Ode to my family
Don’t forget pretty
Such a sad day, when Dolores passed... she's 4ever beautiful in my heart ❤ 💓♥... 💔🧸😪
I loved hearing Dolores sing "Linger". One of my all-time favorite songs. 👌🏼
Great video. I never knew I needed this content. When I was younger I used to watch behind the music on tv and this reminds me a lot of that. You got yourself a new sub. Keep it up dude.
Ngl it hasn’t been more than 2 years that I’ve really gotten into the cranberries and I’m already feeling sad about dolores’ death knowing that she wrote so many great songs including the ones that I incredibly admire
RIP angel
1971-2018
Another tragic loss and unnecessary death. She was so talented and her talent for the most part was never realized. I loved her band, The Cranberries. I've listened to all of the albums, still own them. What a gem she was. I am a fan of Fergal Lawler, he's brilliant. The Hogan brothers are pretty awesome. I wish they could have gone down a different path, a more stable one but wishing that means the brilliant recordings we have may not have ever happened. Sometimes, chaos brings about great things. I hope the God that Dolores believed in has taken her into His Kingdom. RIP Ms. O'Riordon.
“Order out of chaos” is a Alister Crowley and Lucifarian belief.

Cranberries bring so much 90s nostalgia back to me. Their music helped me in happy and sad times get through pain I didn't understand until I was an adult. Thank God for MUCHMUSIC in the 90s. It will NEVER be the same again. I remember when Salvation first came out and I voted for them and the call/vote cost 50 cents and I begged my mom to let me vote; I don't remember who they were up against but Cranberries won by just a few votes and damn right I felt good about myself. Never asked to vote for any other song or band and I'm a music head but that song just spoke to me on so many levels. Rest In Power Dolores you made my childhood easier to get through.
Thanks SO much for this videos! I appreciate all the research you do in your videos. It is like a trip down memory lane to watch your videos from the 90s.
A piece of me died when Dolores did. The Cranberries' music got me through A LOT in high school, and remains some of my fave music. I still think of her and feel deeply for her pain that resulted in her death.
They were fantastic live. She was so tiny but her voice was pure & fierce. She told the audience the band were all sick with the flu. Yet they played one helluva fantastic show. RIP Dolores.
I love the cranberries there one of my favorite bands loved Dolores voice incredible performer she is still missed Rest In Peace Dolores your never forgotten.
Hey man. This was a great insight to a big component of music for their time. The experiences of these bands are all gripping tales. I hope Delores had some satisfaction throughout the challenges. We all loved what she achieved. I can't wait to see the Sundays video also. A major band too for me for melodies and vocal delivery. Amazing you have explored The Sundays truly. I know what work is involved with putting this content together. Keep up your efforts, this is great. Cheers from Glenn in Australia.
Great band they belong in the history books alongside the other greats of the early/mid 90s. I remember when she passed and the cover of Zombie coming out shortly after. I assumed it was a tribute after the fact I didn't realize she was involved in it before she died. Thanks for educating me on that
I play their debut album still to this day. It's an amazing album.
awesome story on the cranberries and amazing the voice coming from this tiny girl and make no mistake is missed by many.
Some of their songs will live forever. Rip Dolores, and all the best wishes to her kids, family and band members.
Back in the early 90s, right after the song Linger started getting play on college radio stations, Matt Johnson of The The got The Cranberries to open for him on his Dusk North American tour. After the concert I waited around to meet Matt and he was just such a genuinely good guy, and Delores happened to be walking to the tour bus too so he introduced me to her and she gave me a huge hug (especially for such a small woman) and was so humble and nice, and not in a fake way. I usually don't get upset when celebrities pass away, but her death was one of the only ones I've ever shed tears over. RIP Delores.
@Kevin Potts Wow, thanks for sharing…. the memory of that hug from her must really haunt you.💫🫂
@@bradss1000 If I could go back in time I would like to ask Matt why he never considered letting Delores sing the female part on Kingdom Of Rain during that tour. Her vocals were really great and her range wast strong, there was no reason she couldn't have covered Sinead O'Connor's part in that song and did it justice. It just seemed like such a good fit and was a missed opportunity to hear a really great song live.
My son cried. He grew up listening to Delores O’Riordan and the cranberries in the back seat of my 98 Chevy Blazer. I loved her it broke my heart 💜 we lost such a beautiful soul to an accidental overdose. Delores was a major talent.
@@kevinpotts123 nice to see a The The fan in the comments here too
Loved the Cranberries as musicians, songwriters and performers. R.I.P Delores I was on board from the early years and still listen to their albums today! This Rock and Roll true story has invigorated me to put on the back catalogue again.. On vinyl of course ;) Sadly not all of their records are available on said format :(
Irish women are among the most beautiful on the planet, inside and out! Delores is evidence of this. The world was a far better place with her in it, such a tragic loss! RIP Delores O'Riordan and thank you ❤️
What a ridiculous comment. There are beautiful people all over the world.
Just found your channel and you do an amazing job. Thank you for all the research you put into these videos.
Thanks
She can never be duplicated. Amazing and one of a kind. Rest sweet lady, but let us keep hearing you sing forever . . The voice of an angel . . .
I loved the cranberries and loved Dolores's voice. I was 22 stationed at Ft.bliss in texas when the cranberries came out...loved dreams and linger, when I hear those songs today they always bring back memories of care free simpler , happier times. Rest in heaven Dolores
I was 23 lol! . Brings back the memories doesn’t it. So very sad. Fame and money does not bring peace or happiness. Mental illness and substance abuse go hand in hand, the tragic end to many beloved musicians of our time. RIP x
I'm from Russia. The Cranberries is my first favorite band and the main reason my English improved during high school. I so wanted to know what the songs were about. Luckely I was able to see them live. Still can't believe Dolores is dead. But their last record is such a miracle. The last chapter was not the death, but the music.
So tragic. I saw the Cranberries in Pensacola in the mid-90s. It was a great concert with tons of energy. RIP Dolores and thank you for the music.
liar !
Thank you for putting this together. It'd interesting timing, a couple weeks ago I went through my Cranberries collection and finally got around to listening to their last alubm.
Most underrated Cranberries songs are 'So Cold In Ireland,' 'Them,' and 'Nothing Left at All.'

When Linger was released, I was a figure skater & was newly married. I met another skater and simply put, we had developed a bond. She would skate to Linger often, while preparing for the ISU competition. I really cared for her & that song will always make me think of her.
RIP Dolores, thank you for the music, it’ll remain in my heart forever 😔
thank you for this. never knew the whole story until now.
I remember the songs, and the band, but never knew much about them. Deloris seemed like a very genuine person, down to earth with a good heart. So sad to hear of her passing when it seemed like her life was going well.
They were such a good band!!!
I was such a huge fan of Cranberries growing up. Unique band with such a unique sound. I had no idea she had passed and so tragically. RIP Dolores
When I first saw her in the "Zombie" video in the 90s, she became one of my earliest crushes- maybe even my first. Such a lovely voice that masked a troubled, deep, misunderstood soul. Love always, Dolores.
I adore this channel 🤟❤️…thank you for this video! The cranberries meant everything growing up in a small town in Ohio…they got me through some of the darkest days of my life..I love and miss Dolores so much!
I remember watching the video for "Zombie" on MTV when I was a little kid, having known nothing about war prior. It made a huge impression. And listening to "Dreams" in the back seat of my parents car.
I got to see them on their 2009 tour and they were outstanding. I had always wanted to see them, and I'm so glad I had that chance.
I'm so glad, that in a 27 minute video, you told me about 40 other videos you have made.
She has a great life story but it’s so heartbreaking to hear it. 😢
She had a beautiful voice, one of my favorites. Her lyrics were powerful, real, and the music just emphasized the words, it all went together very well.. RIP, I hope you are in peace now. A beautiful soul.
Can't say i was into the Cranberries so much but what i did notice is their songs had the 'epic' sound about them. Good band.
Absolutely wonderful video man. Well done. Earned a sub and a like.
the 90s was the last era where artists and bands sent physical demo tapes to record labels.
Dolores, kate bush and sinead oconnor were 3 of the most strongest female artists of that era.
