Bless their hearts, they think world leaders waging wars are ignorant to the suffering. They know very well, but profits and power are more important than the lives of others.
I wonder how they would react to the Canadian group Walk Off the Earth ---5 people playing one guitar at the same time: ua-cam.com/video/P9mybTArlsk/v-deo.html
Of note, the way that Delores wails with her voice at points in the song is a version of Irish funeral keening. A sound that grieving women make when they lose their children
Sir, I am from Belfast, Northern Ireland where this video was filmed. I would like to thank you for the hard work you put into researching the song 'Zombie' and the effort it took to make this TRYBALS reaction video. The honest emotion and impact of the music is very clear on the faces and in the voices of Ms. Bheel and Misters Jutt, Kakepoto and Bughio, it made me happy to know that our history and pain could be understood even across cultures. Thank you for choosing this song and thank you to TRYBALS for another fantastic reaction video!
Thank you for such a thoughtful reply . I’m 3 rd generation Irish American with family still in Ireland . I really appreciate your words . ♥️🙏 I☘️ ( my husband was Native American/indigenous). It was simply not in us to fail to grasp there are literally no winners in war . Just dreadful pain and loss . ☮️
To hear a Muslim say Mashallah after hearing such a beautiful song is so powerful. I grew up around the Muslim community and music was often forbidden and looked down on. To see these people be so accepting and appreciative of another culture is amazing. Great video
Truth is... This is not about the difference in culture. This song is an amazing song and even if it's not your style of song the heart and soul put in to this song can be seen by any real human. So I guess what I am trying to say is this song breaks down the walls that separates us culturally and brings us all back to where we should be.... Equal.
Her voice has such a gut wrenching sound to it, truly makes the listener feel her grief and anger. This is why music is so powerful, it transcends colour, nationality, race, gender and taps into what connects us.
Its a style of Irish singing called "keening", it supposed to sound like crying and pain, and its sung at funerals. During the famine, you would have heard people screaming and singing in pain. Mothers would walk through a village carrying their dead children in their arms, singing like this, but the world didn't hear, for an example of a song from back then ua-cam.com/video/gFtc7I5PvCk/v-deo.html
"Who would take money for their child's bones" Parvati bringing the deep wisdom this time, showing she has another artistic talent as a song writer -Also, great to see them learn about the instruments they have seen and heard so much.
His point about the dogs being shown in the video was eye-opening. I understand this song much better after hearing their perspectives. That's the wonderful thing about art and music. It holds a common understanding, but the meaning is personalized.
Bro right. My jaw dropped. Art and literature really can bring us together from so many different places. We understand more about the human spirit when reactions are so universal despite culture [not that culture doesn’t matter].I truly thank all of you for bringing a little love and understanding to the rest of us.
The gentleman at 1:07's reaction, when he was told that there had been bombings, was so full of genuine reverence and empathy for those effected that it brought a tear to my eye.
Yes, all of their reactions to the details of the violence and death were very engaged and empathetic. It's beyond disturbing to feel the contrast between their deep emotionality and the utter numbness I feel in the face of the devastating scale of violence I'm aware of. They're talking about the killing of two children. Just imagine hearing that a second time, two different children, and a third time, two different children, over five thousand times (5,000) in a matter of months. I'm not trying to start a debate here; I'm just shocked that the pained facial expressions that these folks make are ones I don't even make most of the time now.
I've listened to this song a million times since I was a kid in the 90s but never knew the story behind it. Really heartbreaking. This was a really informative and well-done video. It's hard for me not to get emotional listening to any Cranberries/Dolores O'Riordan song now that she has passed.
I graduated highschool in 1992. My only child was born in 1993. This song was huge around then, in there somewhere. I'm thinking that you're closer to my age, yet still in between our ages. Delores O'Riordan was surely born somewhere in there, too. That song had huge impact. NWA & Boy's in the Hood & Mili Vanilli & the LA Gangstas & OJ Simpson..... There was so much BS to fear. F.E.A.R. False Evidence Appears Real Oh yeah. That song had huge impact to follow out the LA Gangstas, in my memories. It was very sobering.
because that's the politically 'correct' edited interpretation of the song. Listen to the lyrics..."with your TANKS and your guns.." while showing footage of the OCCUPYING ARMY of the OPPRESSOR, the British ! The IRA never had TANKS, this song is calling the British Soldiers Zombies who are sent into their neighboring country to terrorize the citizens... The amount of Irish children killed by the Brits over the Centuries numbers in the millions.
You did a wonderful job explaining the background of this song. This song is always very hard for me to listen to, but I'm glad that they were able to understand the history of it and appreciate what it is about. The imagery of the children with the bows refers to an ancient God, Cupid. He was depicted as as a baby, child, or youth with a bow and arrow. His arrows struck people in the heart, causing them to fall in love. The children in the video have the bows and arrows, but they are unable to fire them to bring love because of the violence.
I'm delighted to see other cultures listening to the Cranberries and learning about the Troubles. It was a terrible time for Northern Ireland and other counties too. Thank you for making this video. R.I.P Dolores O' Riordan as well.
I only half agree because Brothers In Arms by Dira Straits, All Together Now by The Farm and Christmas Truce by Sarbotn have all got to be just as timeless and equally as moving. Different words, but the same message war is destruction and miserly for those caught up in it, and everyone just hopes for peace to come as soon as possible.
It is interesting to see how focused they all are, not interrupting as usual, no questions. Just taking in and listening. Feeling. All the love to everyone involved.
When this song came out it made me cry. It still makes me cry. Then, though, I would never have guessed that one day soon I would be able to sit in front of my computer and see people from villages and tribes across the planet react to the song for the first time. The world has gotten so much smaller, which is even more reason to stop doing wars on each other. We can see in real time just how much we all have in common.
Growing up in Northern Europe in the 90s I have nostalgia flowing through my veins whenever this legendary song is on. Amazing to see my own people react to it from the motherland. I cannot express how cool this is to me.
This was done so thoroughly and respectfully. They are such compassionate, loving people. Thank you for this video and for sharing the story with them.
RIP Delores, such a great singer. As an American "black" girl growing up in the US in the 90s MTV was pretty mixed throughout the day so we would tune into whatever we enjoyed and the Cranberries were enjoyable even for my mostly R&B & Hip Hop pallete. Great singer and musicians.
I'm so delighted to find this channel! Makes me feel connected, to see that other people feel similarly. I have loved the Cranberries since I was a teen, knew the reason for this song, and knew a bit of the sordid history involved. But you covered SO MUCH. I learned several new things from this video! Thank you so very much, all of you.
I was impressed with how much background you gave all the reactors on the song, the meaning for its title and its relation to The Troubles. Very well done.
The one man asked about why the children had bows and arrows. It is symbolic, in that the children are raised up by their elders to fight, and therefore their innocence is stolen. So not only did children die, but the innocence of their childhood was stolen. They grew up to continue the war because of the beliefs that they were taught.
This brilliantly depicts the concept that people from every walk of life can connect through music because of our life experiences. We all want the same things in the end…
I am from Ireland and I love this song, it was amazing to watch these wonderful people react to it. Dolores was an amazing singer, very emotional. I'm sure the music sounded very different to the panels music but you could see them enjoying the beat. The back story is heartbreaking. I loved the comment "we are the world', so true, if only we could find world peace.
So, I hope you guys enjoyed this video. And I wanted you to know that I already told them about the death of Dolores. Not only this but we also shot their reactions to Bad Wolves version right after this. For Parvati she was in a hurry so she came the next time. I played her this song once more and before playing the Bad wolves so she could use some fresh ears as well. Anyways, I can't say anything but clearly Mukhtiar and Muharam enjoyed the Bad wolves version more and I even asked what was the reason for that to Mukhtiar, his reply: It's more heavier so pumps up more energy in someone.
Just discovered this channel a few days ago and have been binge watching. Your knowledge is amazing, as are these people! I swear though I think I'm falling in love with Muharum(sp?) lol It's as though I can feel his love and joy for life, his reactions are genuinely spontaneous as though he wears his heart on his sleeve; you can tell him that just means he shows his heart easily and that's a good thing ❤️ I can sense and feel his heart!
Oh wow, thank you for this. We are so connected. I love the Cranberry song and the Bad Wolf song and and currently writing a zombie story inspired by the song. I’ve been watching your channel for months. Keep up the great work.
Everyone brought new things about this to my attention. I actually have researched this. But your research on the video itself and what all of you saw and spoke about is reducing me to tears. I nearly lost my daughter at 15 to a kidnapping. She was missing 7 days. The thought of not getting her back... I'm just glad I never had to face that. As I write she is now 22 and napping in her room. Thank you for your thoughtful words. 🙏
I am so sorry to learn about such incident and I can't imagine how worried you might be at that moment. But I am so glad you got her back, we all should be grateful for what we have been blessed for especially our families and friends. May I suggest a song for you to listen? The lost children by Michael Jackson.
I cherish my girls. We've had some big struggles though. It made our bonds stronger but our bodies weaker. Thank you so much... her name is actually Persian ...my beautiful beloved one...my little Vashti.
What a hideous experience! I am so glad you got her back (ransom? IRA?) The 'new' bandits & anarchists & criminals of today are much more heartless, more ruthless, more 'dead' inside. No conscience. The Trybal episodes reduce me to tears with the extra background research & watching the reactions of these sweet people.
I sit in tears watching this, torn between the saddness of the song and the warmth I feel for the listeners. We are all brothers and sisters. One human family. One love. On another note I think it's awesome to see the listeners enjoy heavy metal so much. Well done im subscribing most definitely!
It´s so hard to watch this right now... I´m living not far from the border to Ukraine, where this kind of stuff has been happening pretty much every day for years now and its about to escalate... Why are people doing the same mistakes over and over again? Why aren´t we able to find a way to live peacefully together? It´s scary to think about what could reach us every minute.
I hope the best for you and your family and Ukraine. What is going on there is terrifying. I wish I had words of comfort for you that would make you feel better, but anything I say will sound hollow. 💔
My wife has family in Ukraine and we are watching the situation with great concern. Please know that we are watching and praying for you. And like most people, I want to live in peace and freedom. But it seems the world is full of people who wish to force others to bend to their will. So like countless generations before me I must accept that I have to be prepared to fight. Not what I would choose but it seems choice is rapidly becoming less of a factor.
I’m so sorry . I pray things improve for you and your country. I’ve found that governments rarely reflect their people ( in general). During this pandemic I’ve been able to see people from every country reach out to each other and truly ‘see’ the humanity in each other despite borders , politics or religion. It’s my hopes the younger generations continue to reach out and stop the nonsense of the elites . Praying for your safety ♥️🙏☮️
We all see the same things in war and wish instead for peace. If it were up to most people, we would no longer fight one another in wars. Thank you for this video. ♥️
It's the 1% of society that are sociopaths and psychopaths that have power that allow or propagate the evil and allow such abominations against humanity. The rest of us feel and lament.
By no means do I support war or violence but an important piece of context in this situation, as I’m sure is the case in many other similar situations, is that all of this violence started through peaceful protesting by Irish Catholics in the North. They were protesting their treatment as second class citizens. The discrimination they faced in relation to housing, healthcare, education, employment, politics, etc. by the Protestant and British people. They were harassed and assaulted by the Protestant led police, they couldn’t get proper housing or healthcare, and their interests were not represented in government. They protested for fairer and more equal treatment but the police, not them, instigated violence against them. Some of their demands were compromised on but still after several protests and violent attacks they were not listened to. This led to a revival of the Irish Republican Army who sought to take matters into their own hands and avenge the violence that had been afflicted upon them. I don’t support the violence of the IRA but I also don’t know what else these Irish people could have done to gain equal rights in their country. I don’t support systemic discrimination or ignoring the complaints of a marginalised community or refusing to make changes for greater equality just to avoid “giving in” to violent extremists. People’s human rights were still being taken away during this period and little was done to amend that.
I didn't know the history behind this song. I love the song, but now I am even more emotional moved by it, almost to tears. Thank you for presenting these things to the listener. Also, I think it's great to see your interviews of tribal people to open the minds of others up, that people can be of different cultures, but we all are human wanting peace, and to live our lives.
This was the best thing I have watched all day... The best reaction video I have watched as well as the most respectfully moderated video I have watched EVER. Having one of the songs that move me most included was almost a bonus. It is very beautiful how the moderator very respectfully educates/informs the participants as well as how each of them were so respectful to us audiences by participating very smartly dressed/presented...A simple respect I have as a UA-cam viewer failed to have witnessed for so long I can not remember the last time. I understand and appreciate that "looks" is not everything... Even here it is not... But the whole idea and care of wanting to present more of themselves to us was a simple act of what I believe must be in their nature: "To share" what they can... Giving what they have. So much as if for once: I actually had felt that I was not a number in the algorithm to entertain the counter. But an audience to people that I, my views and perception... Mattered. Thank you and your participants for the wonderful experience.
I have heard this song so many times-it was everywhere when I was in my teens but I never really paid attention to the lyrics or music vid. I clicked on this for amusement, but I learned so much from this. In terms of the historical and cultural significance. Thank you for explaining the background story and significance. I don't think I will be able to ever hear this in quite the same way ever again. Especially the bit in the video where you could see the woman screaming silently, and the beginning re : Michaelangelo's "Pieta". I saw the sculpture myself in the Vatican basilica. It was so much smaller than expected and behind a special bulletproof but transparent material but the features and depiction of Mary holding her dead child's body, made me feel suckered punched, so very sad, senseless, angry and impressed by the work all at once. Because at that moment in time, and the moment it depicted could have represented any mother who has lost her child and the grief in her face-so raw, and tragic-could have been any and every mother. And of course reminded me of all of the war going on-Afghanistan, Iraq, natural disasters like the Tsunami in 2004, and because I had just been to India a few months previously. It is all quite powerful and overwhelming seeing this. Wow
As a not entirely random aside, both Britain and CBS censored this song due to the Iraq war. CBS used it in their reality TV series American Rock Star but got the words "tanks, bombs and guns" removed in case it made it sound like the sound was "anti-war". Britain just censored the whole thing before the Iraq war started in case it offended public feelings due to "sensitive material".
To this day this song and video still never fail to bring a tear or two to my eyes. The situation with Ireland, Northern Ireland and the UK is an extremely complicated one as it usually is with these things and there are so many different groups and sub groups involved, none of which are innocent. As an English person, I am truly angry at my country as even after the many years of violence that happened during this conflict and other conflicts before it, there still isn't enough accountability and pretty much no justice at all. But again, that's usually how these things go. There are many great Irish and Northern Irish bands who have sung about this war. Just one other particular good one to check out is Stiff Little Fingers who come from Belfast. Jim Reily, one of their former drummers lost his brother during this war when he was murdered by a soldier for simply walking down the street. And I once found an interview with their bassist Ali McMordie where he spoke about when he was still a boy and he couldn't go to school for long periods of time because there were bombs going off everywhere and dead bodies all around. So leaving the house to go to school just wasn't safe. No child should ever have to witness that growing up.
This song has always held a special place in my heart. My grandmother emigrated from Ireland to the US in 1912. She went home for a visit in 1916 and had all her friends sign her autograph book. Half the signatures have the slogan "Up the Republic!" or some variation, as the war for independence was just then beginning and the people who signed were supporters of independence. Grandmother went back home again in 1927 and more than half of those people were dead from the war. I was just a little boy in the early 1970's when a new outbreak of fighting began and the nightly news showed footage of people killing each other in the streets. My grandmother was heartbroken to see that the war was still going on, even almost 50 years after Ireland was declared independent, save for Northern Ireland. She passed away in 1974 and never saw peace in her homeland. Dolores O'Riordan sang very much like my grandmother, and to hear her singing this in 1994 broke my own heart. Thankfully, things have changed over there.
I was in high school in 73. I remember . *My grandparents also came in the early 1900’s and on the other side -during the famine . I married a man who was indigenous American when I grew up . In 1973 in America there would also be an issue at Wounded Knee (in 1890 a great tragic massacre of indigenous people occurred ). At Wounded Knee 1973 200 Oglala Sioux natives stood up to proclaim “ enough !” . If there was a mindset to not “ offend “ another there would be no need to “ defend “ either . It’s the every day people who see the ills of war and unfortunately the ones who are sent to fight them . Those that start wars don’t have to sacrifice. I suppose it’s why war is so easy to profit from . Those who profit never have “ pay “ the price though .
@@ssshadowwolf6762 "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" was the first "adult" book I read. I couldn't have been older than 9 at the time, probably younger. My best friend at that age was a Tohono O'Odham boy who had been adopted by a hippie-type couple, so his name was Butchie Bloomquist. I kinda lost my mind one time when another mother in the neighborhood called him a little savage. I painted profanities on her walls one morning and got a reputation as anti-semetic. I didn't hate her because she was Jewish, I hated her because she called my friend a savage. I, too, married a native-American. We've been together 34 years and her family is always a little amused by my 6'2" Viking-Irish self. XD
@@DonBean-ej4ou Both the 1916 rising and world war 1. What other wars were there? Republicans were fighting for the UK in world war 1 if they could get attached to Irish regiments. Some were even awarded medals for bravery and sent them back, joining the IRA when returning home. Some never made it back and sadly are remembered as traitors by a lot of people.
I love everyone's reaction on the video! Back in 2017, I visited Thailand during Songkran, their water festival holiday. And while entering a street, it was literally jam packed with people having a water war!! And there also seem to be a singing battle going on with both sides of the street singing in unison "Zombie"... it was quite an incredible experience!! So now, everytime I hear this song, it brings me back to that moment!
I love how this guy gets tribal people to listen to modern western music & explains it to the tribal people in great detail & accuracy. Keep it up, I love it!
I cried thru this whole video. Why can we not just love each other thru our different opinions? We are all God's children. I love the reactions from these beautiful people.
Thank you for choosing this song. It's one of my all time favourites and I'm so glad I got to see people reacting to it for the first time. And special kudos to you for telling them about the lyrics, and especially about the background of the song. Edit: I only finished the video now, and I gotta say, the words "Who would take money for her child's bones" are hauntingly poetic.
Omg you kept pausing right at the epic breakdowns!!!😭 But this was such a well done video. I really enjoyed hearing the history and seeing how the emotion and story transcends cultures
As a guy from Kilkenny, Ireland this brought tears to my eyes. Now I hope that Palestine can see peace like Ireland is today in the North and South of the country.
Everyone on both sides must want peace more than attacks. It has been tried twice. Twice Palestinians rejected the compromise offers negotiated. Since 2000, there has been no clear leadership of Palestinians to negotiate with. They are split and not unified enough to stop attacking. Maybe someday Palestinians will unify and be willing to accept SOME of what they want to get a nation of their own. Until then, there is no point in trying right now. America tried twice. We are weary of it. .
@@corinnem.239 wow, so it's the palestians who must compromise. Incredible. Live in apartheid in their own country, treated as second class citizens, attacked in the streets by polcie and Army, their movements restricted, WAY more people killed than israelis, (but people ONLY talk when hamas retaliates,) had their land taken off them. But it is THEY who must compromise. That's certainly an "opinion..."
@@corinnem.239 Ireland had no unifying force at the time. Much of the IRA was just various factions operating at their own discretion. It was only once it was to the advantage of both sides to make concessions and not just one side that they finally found peace.
Your channel makes me understand how different cultures should relate to each other. Your humanity is a blessing from God, an exhortation to be brothers. Peace and prosperity for all of you and for Northern Ireland. 🙏🏻 From Italy with love.
I respect you Italians. We as immigrants where living in the slums, filth and dirt together. Faced oppressed and police brutality, racism, xenophobia and hatred. Still today
Every time a video brings up the topic of grief or loss, especially involving children, I feel everything Riaz feels. I see the pain and understanding in his eyes. It's the emotion only someone who has lost a child understands. I think of his baby girl and know his pain. He is so insightful and compassionate.
I love Mr Burghio, he always seems to truly FEEL the music & the message held within it. . Zombie is one of my favourite songs because it is so powerful in every way & never ceases to give me goosebumps, from the very first notes, & feel the raw emotions of grief, helplessness & futility. It's wonderful that the Delores' message is still being shared & lessons learned from the mistakes made & lives wasted. 🙏
I'm from Warrington England and there is a memorial on Bridge Street where one of the explosions happened. I never knew this song was written in memory of the two lads. (johnathan ball and tim parry)
I am sorry for confusing Warrington being in Ireland, if you know of any short documentary about it please let me know so I can share it with our friends
I am so glad you chose this song. The Cranberries is one of my favorite bands and was actually the first concert I ever went to. I was just going to start as a freshman in high school. Their music, especially this song, impacted me even in my younger years. I consider it an honor to have seen them in concert. Although I am an American, my father's side of our family is of Irish decent. I learned a lot about Ireland from books and the internet. However, it's the stories that my grandmother would describe of her Irish heritage that I learned the most from. The Cranberries are such an incredible band. Dolores O'Riordan was an amazing song writer, singer, musician. May her beautiful soul rest in peace. Thank you for reacting to The Cranberries. 😎👍
This is a brilliant concept, it's philosophically artistic and getting the opinions of these people who face tremendous (by western standards) challenges daily really is a unique exploration of music, and potentially other arts. I'd love to see their reaction to, say, Jean-Michel Basquiat's story and what his art now demands at auction, and their opinion on his art that commanded $110,500,000 USD
This video was so well done! You could see the impact of the video very clearly. Also can I just add that these people have such elegance and grace to them? Just beautiful people all around especially with their comments! Great vid!!
I have heard this song playing since 10 years but this is the first time I really understood the meaning and openly cried many tears at the pain caused by these wars.
10:05 "Mashallah, all these songs have taught me so much bro" That is the true wonder of art. To pull you in and make you learn starting from the heart 🙌❤️ "Who would take money for her child's bones!" 😟😭 I knew Parvati would have something deep to say about this
Yes this is art in its highest form . It is something that speaks to the heart . This song is a very powerful work of art . If it was a painting, it would be hanging in a great gallery - a masterpiece !
I am English and I’d like to say every time i hear this song (no exceptions) i get tears in my eyes. I follow a few music reaction people on UA-cam and I ALWAYS suggest this song... it feels so important, its beyond music.
This is an amazing perspective from a different culture who goes through the same things she was singing about in this song. Its such a classic song that I loved as a kid and just in the past few years found out the actual meaning behind it. Thank you for this video, you got yourself a new subscriber! ❤❤🙏
Thank you for the time spent on creating this video. My grandparents were from Ireland and had to leave with her brothers and sisters. They survived when so many did not. As for the reasoning behind the gold person and the silver children with bows screaming . That is the singers own idea. The gold and silver representing the beauty we see or want to see. The children screaming with bows, raw clips, and the cross signifies the pain and suffering going that went on and how many people around the world closed their eyes to this traumatic event.
First off, anytime I hear a Cranberries song and hear Dolores O'Riordan's voice I instantly get goosebumps. I live in California, US and this particular song has always been one of my favorites and instantly brings the 1990's to mind. Secondly, I love that TRYBALS listened to Zombie and watched the video. To see their reaction to the music and imagery was amazing. Hearing their comments almost brought me to tears. Their insight is fantastic! Thank you for sharing this with us.
I'm from Cali to a my reaction with the same as yours except I always cry when I hear this song because it reminds me of that time and I remember when this happened the troubles I mean.
Love your videos Trybals 😡 Mukhtar, what you said about the dogs, that struck a chord with me, id never heard or thought that before. Being an Irish person, i really wanted to say that the war with England began over 800 years ago, when they invaded, they were fought back many times, but were never completely ousted. The Irish never stopped trying. To this day, the North of Ireland remains part of the UK (England) War is awful, no matter where on this earth it occurs, pain and loss is the same the world over. I really admire your channel and all your participants, Thank you all 😊💚 ☘️
I didn't know the clips in this video were real. It breaks my heart every time I see children playing with toy guns and trying to "kill" each other. I've learned so much from your videos -- thank you for sharing. This is one powerful song -- it came out when I was a kid, and I thought her voice was cool but certainly didn't understand the meaning of it. Now that I'm older I know the power behind it. So amazing how music can influence the world. P.S. Mukhtiar must be a serious metalhead! LOL And Parvati's veil is so pretty today 😊
I love not only how this channel show how universal humanity is but also I learn so many things about the context or meanings of my favorite songs. You guys do such a good work!
As a military spouse and a mother who has lost a child, this brought me to tears. Music and pain transcend all languages. Thank you for your diligence and understanding.
your reaction videos from this group are so powerful - it shows that no matter where we are all from ( I am Canadian) that we all feel the pain of war and the decisions of our leaders..it is always the children that suffer the most - especially as Dolores has died it made it so much more poignant to me...music is it's own language
Zombies, the way they are portrayed in modern culture are just a creative character, but the origine comes from the practice of using Datura and other herbs to drug people and keep them in a submissive and compliant state to keep them as slaves, basically.
My dad was a military man and my parents were divorced so I never spent much time. Right now he’s on retirement due to having surgeries on his legs, he’s seen war especially during Iraq. It gave him terrible PTSD and worsened his already known mental health problems. I unfortunately got the short end of the mental health stick and this song to me described what goes on in my head. Not a literal war but one that happens in my mind. It’s been a part of me since childhood. I’m 17 going on 18 and this song still resonates with me
“Who would take money for their child’s bones?” this knocks on the door to the hidden room where I keep my shame about having been a part of the U.S. war machine in Iraq. I often was part of a large group of servicemembers whose commander was responsible for disbursing money to Iraqi families whose loved ones had been killed.
Hi I was in a waiting room in Dublin some yrs ago and got talking to another lady sitting there; she was from Mosul and had gained refugee status here, her little boy and husband were there too, a beautiful little boy, he was so funny, that's how we got talking. Anyway it didn't take long to hear her story Isis were in Mosul at the time and the worry she felt for her family still there was palpable. Her sisters now had to be covered, they could no longer go to school, my heart went out to her. Her boy was her miracle as she had great difficulty conceiving and to be in a safe country was a great relief to her That's the thing isn't it, we are all the same at the end of the day, we all have people we care about and love. We all want to live peacefully. My brother had spent some time in the US Navy in peacetime and he was called up for that war and spent two years search and rescue... i remember how freaked out my mother was, the odd call home but not knowing really what he was up to, where he was, it's like an international language mothers worried for their children. I am glad you made it home safe and back to your family; that shame you might feel should not be yours to bear, I would put it onto the leaders and warmongers who make these decisions that throw people's lives into chaos. The rest of us on the planet really want no part of this but sometimes find ourselves in the thick of it. I wish you a happy and peaceful rest of your life, you've been through a great trauma, and I hope for healing to you and everyone really.
One of the best reaction videos I've seen, and I learned a lot about the origins of the song. You took four wise, polite and decent people from another culture who saw the futility of conflict while conveying perfectly what it means to be human. Well done and thank you.
American Chinese here. I love what you are doing putting a face to the people we will never meet and realizing the empathy is no different from other people. They are humans just like every develop countries.
Will Abdul be coming back to do more reactions? I love hearing what he has to say in each video. He is full of such wisdom and insight! Sure missed him for this video!
I agree that this song should be played at every world leader gathering. I'm glad that this song has had a billion views and has been seen by different cultures, the only bad thing is that someone had to write this type of song in the first place. Keep up the good work with the videos😊👍❤️🇬🇧
Oh no, I keep crying to these videos, when they started talking about mothers losing their childern in the end, it's just so sad what's going on around the world, a lot of us are very lucky to never have to deal with such things, but not everyone is equally blessed. Fantastic video once again.
A very intense video, well done and thank you for showing such a powerful and impactful song. Great research to the origins of this song. Well done indeed.
I was about 13 or 14 when this song came out. My mum was dying from cancer but I still remember the Warrington bombing and the kids. This is my all time favourite song and I think it's meaning and message is very appropriate for the world today. The comment about the dog was spot on! People can be worse than animals. Thank you for sharing this song with these lovely people. It's interesting to see their reactions.
Thank you so much for bringing us this project. This message that we are all the same, we feel the same passions and fears, the same joy and despair - this is the one message that the world needs right now. We all desperately need hope, and I’m seeing the tiniest glimmer right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
As a child I loved this song so much, eveb thought I couldn't understand a word she was singing. I think this is what an amazing song is. It's something all people understand without understanding the lyrics.
this is my favorite "reacting" channel. Thanks so much for inviting those beautiful people. Could you show them something about Canada ? I'd love to hear them about our maple products, our culture or our artists.
Agreed, very well researched and insightful commentary. @Trybals there are alot of huge Canadian Artists out there, Brian Adams, Avril Lavigne, Celine Dion, etc. One comparison I love: is Stan Rodgers: Northwest Passage vs the cover of it by: Unleash the Archers - ua-cam.com/video/XRD3vrSLPaw/v-deo.html , it speaks to the grand outdoors and the explorer spirit in Canada. Sung 40 years apart.
Good review. It’s great to see someone do the actual research into the song and educate during the reaction. I enjoyed this a lot considering I’ve listened to this song since it came out but still learned some stuff from your commentary. Job well done
wow... such a wonderful thoughtful and respectful approach to explaining and introducing Zombie to people removed from our culture and history, this is a very emotive song to most Irish people and to see your panel engage and experience that is all together on another level well done truly WELL DONE
The statements of all those people are full of wisdom. I respect them a lot. I like their reactions, they are very inspirating for me. Btw. I know the words of the song from heart as bilions of other people around the world, but till today I had no idea about the story behind the song.
I'm glad they got to witness this masterpiece!! Still brings tears to my eyes, especially after just having a beautiful baby boy 2 weeks ago!! Cheers, Trybal family!
@@guslakis thanks!! I'm sure everyone with a newborn says this, but he is absolutely perfect! From his tiny digits to his hilarious facial expressions! This probably isn't the comment thread to say this, but, and I hope this goes for everyone, having a newborn pert near changed me and how I view the world. Chasing dollar bills, fame, etc. just isn't the way. (Not that I was, really, but for this comment's purposes...) We are to guide the future, and hope they learn from our mistakes. Its all about the children! Love them infinitely and unconditionally, guide them through life's hurdles, and teach them compassion towards any and all creeds, races, and cultures. Maybe one day, our great grandchildren will be the cause for positive change in this crazy place we call Earth. We sure arent.. lol Sorry if I rambled on a bit about unrelated topics. Just felt that someone, somewhere might read this and feel the same way.. Cheers! Waiting on the next upload!
another great video! Thank you for sharing this with us! the reactions are very intense and the comments super smart! nice to see how ppl from a different culture think about this. and.. thanks for explaining the meaning of the video! Didn't knew this either! :-)
Reaction to Bad Wolves cover: ua-cam.com/video/bF3C3f6nIsg/v-deo.html
Can you do a reaction to the Sri Lankan unity song? They will love this.
Bless their hearts, they think world leaders waging wars are ignorant to the suffering. They know very well, but profits and power are more important than the lives of others.
I so wish Delores had lived to be a part of the Bad Wolves cover. More sadness and senseless loss around a song about sadness and senseless loss.
I wonder how they would react to the Canadian group Walk Off the Earth ---5 people playing one guitar at the same time: ua-cam.com/video/P9mybTArlsk/v-deo.html
@Heartthrob Goswamy sux to be a woman huh
Of note, the way that Delores wails with her voice at points in the song is a version of Irish funeral keening. A sound that grieving women make when they lose their children
😢
Wow ... interesting insight ! Thanks ...
It definitely looks like she was intentionally doing "hiccups" like when you cry a lot and are desperate. Terrific and beautiful way to express pain.
Wailing and or keening I believe to be just the sound of loss.
ua-cam.com/video/Mf7KleM2Ojs/v-deo.html I found this 1951 recording
Sir, I am from Belfast, Northern Ireland where this video was filmed. I would like to thank you for the hard work you put into researching the song 'Zombie' and the effort it took to make this TRYBALS reaction video. The honest emotion and impact of the music is very clear on the faces and in the voices of Ms. Bheel and Misters Jutt, Kakepoto and Bughio, it made me happy to know that our history and pain could be understood even across cultures. Thank you for choosing this song and thank you to TRYBALS for another fantastic reaction video!
Hello. Great Grandson of Robert Ferrell from Co. Longford 👍🇮🇪☘️
Let’s hope these troubles never come back. Probably places where is was filmed look much better today.
Who are those with rifles? Are they from GB ?
@@mir-jan3496 Yeah, British soldiers.
Thank you for such a thoughtful reply . I’m 3 rd generation Irish American with family still in Ireland .
I really appreciate your words . ♥️🙏 I☘️
( my husband was Native American/indigenous). It was simply not in us to fail to grasp there are literally no winners in war . Just dreadful pain and loss . ☮️
Rest in peace Dolores O'Riordan. This song did more than anyone could imagine, it became a symbol
We lost her much too young.
@Cock Head Why would she have chosen BW as the only new version she'd be a part of, if she didn't want to be a part of it?
She turned down a million dollars because Island Records didn't want her to have it be in their repertoire.
she is a true artist
Dolores was a tortured soul....... she struggled with depression for years and it's sad that she never got the help she needed.
To hear a Muslim say Mashallah after hearing such a beautiful song is so powerful. I grew up around the Muslim community and music was often forbidden and looked down on. To see these people be so accepting and appreciative of another culture is amazing. Great video
Truth is... This is not about the difference in culture. This song is an amazing song and even if it's not your style of song the heart and soul put in to this song can be seen by any real human.
So I guess what I am trying to say is this song breaks down the walls that separates us culturally and brings us all back to where we should be.... Equal.
@@SCAR187CID it’s just a shame that Islam doesn’t accept music with instruments that talk about something else than glory to their god.
Really?
@@tangchan6221
Don’t play into the division and hate. You don’t want that in your life.
@@photofinish8607 I’m just telling the truth. I’m happy that most Muslims don’t follow the teachings of their religion completely
"Who would take money for her child's bones?" that part gave me chills
Yes
makes you wonder about all the lawsuits
that was actually quite a profound statement! damn...
That stopped me in my tracks. She said it very casually, but that's a very powerful line
Her voice has such a gut wrenching sound to it, truly makes the listener feel her grief and anger. This is why music is so powerful, it transcends colour, nationality, race, gender and taps into what connects us.
Its a style of Irish singing called "keening", it supposed to sound like crying and pain, and its sung at funerals. During the famine, you would have heard people screaming and singing in pain. Mothers would walk through a village carrying their dead children in their arms, singing like this, but the world didn't hear, for an example of a song from back then ua-cam.com/video/gFtc7I5PvCk/v-deo.html
Can’t hear this beautiful song without bawling like a baby. A rare talent
Keening
gut wrenching indeed, every time i hear it i want to throw up.
@@axeman2638 You may want to see a doctor about that
Dolores would of loved seeing this and seeing her massage reach so far. RIP Irish poet.
"Who would take money for their child's bones"
Parvati bringing the deep wisdom this time, showing she has another artistic talent as a song writer
-Also, great to see them learn about the instruments they have seen and heard so much.
When she said that, it took the breath out of my lungs
i shed a tear when she said that, it hit deep
The whole reaction video had me tearing up, but Parvati's story and this line in particular was really crushing.
Yep. That was a real punch in the gut for me.
That really struck me too
His point about the dogs being shown in the video was eye-opening. I understand this song much better after hearing their perspectives. That's the wonderful thing about art and music. It holds a common understanding, but the meaning is personalized.
I thought what he said about the dogs was deep and wise.
I thought the exact same thing. It was an interpretation that I had never considered, but which seems poignant.
same here. their understanding and the things they percieve in this video are amazing. it's incredible to watch such wisdom.
Bro right. My jaw dropped. Art and literature really can bring us together from so many different places. We understand more about the human spirit when reactions are so universal despite culture [not that culture doesn’t matter].I truly thank all of you for bringing a little love and understanding to the rest of us.
I couldn't have said it better. The comments after the video were so poignant I'll be hearing "Zombie" with new ears.
The gentleman at 1:07's reaction, when he was told that there had been bombings, was so full of genuine reverence and empathy for those effected that it brought a tear to my eye.
Yes, Muharam is my favorite. He seems to be a very wise, compassionate man.
Muharam is very expressive. You must get the mug! See the channel description.
@@AnnaVictrixI love Muharam, he's very warm and genuine ☺
Yes, all of their reactions to the details of the violence and death were very engaged and empathetic. It's beyond disturbing to feel the contrast between their deep emotionality and the utter numbness I feel in the face of the devastating scale of violence I'm aware of. They're talking about the killing of two children. Just imagine hearing that a second time, two different children, and a third time, two different children, over five thousand times (5,000) in a matter of months. I'm not trying to start a debate here; I'm just shocked that the pained facial expressions that these folks make are ones I don't even make most of the time now.
@@zackanglin9387 Isn't it appalling to realize that you have reduced the mass suffering and death of children to mere numbers?
I've listened to this song a million times since I was a kid in the 90s but never knew the story behind it. Really heartbreaking. This was a really informative and well-done video. It's hard for me not to get emotional listening to any Cranberries/Dolores O'Riordan song now that she has passed.
Same here
There is another song of them that has a deep meaning: "The Icicle Melts" It´s about the murder of the little James Bulger
I graduated highschool in 1992. My only child was born in 1993. This song was huge around then, in there somewhere.
I'm thinking that you're closer to my age, yet still in between our ages. Delores O'Riordan was surely born somewhere in there, too. That song had huge impact.
NWA & Boy's in the Hood & Mili Vanilli & the LA Gangstas & OJ Simpson.....
There was so much BS to fear.
F.E.A.R.
False Evidence Appears Real
Oh yeah. That song had huge impact to follow out the LA Gangstas, in my memories. It was very sobering.
i get emotional about it too, usually disgust, sometimes anger, often pain, relief when it stops.
because that's the politically 'correct' edited interpretation of the song. Listen to the lyrics..."with your TANKS and your guns.." while showing footage of the OCCUPYING ARMY of the OPPRESSOR, the British ! The IRA never had TANKS, this song is calling the British Soldiers Zombies who are sent into their neighboring country to terrorize the citizens... The amount of Irish children killed by the Brits over the Centuries numbers in the millions.
I'm from Europe and I had no idea about the story of this song. It's incredible how much I learn from you. Keep up the good work.
American here, I had no idea either. 😢
LONG LIVE THE BASQUE REPUBLIC
ah yes the my brother lad
You did a wonderful job explaining the background of this song. This song is always very hard for me to listen to, but I'm glad that they were able to understand the history of it and appreciate what it is about. The imagery of the children with the bows refers to an ancient God, Cupid. He was depicted as as a baby, child, or youth with a bow and arrow. His arrows struck people in the heart, causing them to fall in love. The children in the video have the bows and arrows, but they are unable to fire them to bring love because of the violence.
another demon
bring the silver bullets and the cross
That's what I felt watching it as well. I've seen this song performed life, but I'd never seen the music video until now. Wow.
The gravity and the compassion these people show while listening to the song touches my heart.
I'm delighted to see other cultures listening to the Cranberries and learning about the Troubles. It was a terrible time for Northern Ireland and other counties too. Thank you for making this video. R.I.P Dolores O' Riordan as well.
Mr. Producer, I was thoroughly impressed with your knowledge of the song. I learned a lot watching with the Trybals.
I agree, Mr Producer. Great video. Everyone is wonderful and beautiful. But jeez...Muhktiar is sooooo handsome. What a man.
Agreed!
Thank you all 🤗❤️🌷
I don't think there's ever been a more timeless song than Zombie. It's just as applicable now as it was when she wrote it and there's no end in sight.
I only half agree because Brothers In Arms by Dira Straits, All Together Now by The Farm and Christmas Truce by Sarbotn have all got to be just as timeless and equally as moving. Different words, but the same message war is destruction and miserly for those caught up in it, and everyone just hopes for peace to come as soon as possible.
War... War never changes...
RIP Dolores
@@GM-wl9mp what about "baby" by Justin bieber? 😂
ua-cam.com/video/x8l0SHZLdVI/v-deo.html
It is interesting to see how focused they all are, not interrupting as usual, no questions. Just taking in and listening. Feeling. All the love to everyone involved.
Yea no shit
When this song came out it made me cry. It still makes me cry. Then, though, I would never have guessed that one day soon I would be able to sit in front of my computer and see people from villages and tribes across the planet react to the song for the first time. The world has gotten so much smaller, which is even more reason to stop doing wars on each other. We can see in real time just how much we all have in common.
It's true.
Growing up in Northern Europe in the 90s I have nostalgia flowing through my veins whenever this legendary song is on. Amazing to see my own people react to it from the motherland. I cannot express how cool this is to me.
And me too being from Manchester it also makes me cry
This was done so thoroughly and respectfully. They are such compassionate, loving people. Thank you for this video and for sharing the story with them.
Listened to this song for almost 30 years and learned more about it here than in all that time. Not just educating these folks. Thank you.
I like how they always give them some context before letting them react. They can appreciate it even more that way.
RIP Delores, such a great singer. As an American "black" girl growing up in the US in the 90s MTV was pretty mixed throughout the day so we would tune into whatever we enjoyed and the Cranberries were enjoyable even for my mostly R&B & Hip Hop pallete. Great singer and musicians.
I'm so delighted to find this channel! Makes me feel connected, to see that other people feel similarly. I have loved the Cranberries since I was a teen, knew the reason for this song, and knew a bit of the sordid history involved. But you covered SO MUCH. I learned several new things from this video! Thank you so very much, all of you.
I was impressed with how much background you gave all the reactors on the song, the meaning for its title and its relation to The Troubles. Very well done.
The one man asked about why the children had bows and arrows. It is symbolic, in that the children are raised up by their elders to fight, and therefore their innocence is stolen. So not only did children die, but the innocence of their childhood was stolen. They grew up to continue the war because of the beliefs that they were taught.
what about the honor?
@@seamuswbiggerarmalite3379 What do you mean?
@@seamuswbiggerarmalite3379 there is none
This brilliantly depicts the concept that people from every walk of life can connect through music because of our life experiences. We all want the same things in the end…
I am from Ireland and I love this song, it was amazing to watch these wonderful people react to it. Dolores was an amazing singer, very emotional. I'm sure the music sounded very different to the panels music but you could see them enjoying the beat. The back story is heartbreaking. I loved the comment "we are the world', so true, if only we could find world peace.
God bless you
“Who would take money for her childs bones?”. That’s a chilling statement, but so true. No amount of money can ever fix the loss of a child.
So, I hope you guys enjoyed this video. And I wanted you to know that I already told them about the death of Dolores. Not only this but we also shot their reactions to Bad Wolves version right after this. For Parvati she was in a hurry so she came the next time. I played her this song once more and before playing the Bad wolves so she could use some fresh ears as well. Anyways, I can't say anything but clearly Mukhtiar and Muharam enjoyed the Bad wolves version more and I even asked what was the reason for that to Mukhtiar, his reply: It's more heavier so pumps up more energy in someone.
Just discovered this channel a few days ago and have been binge watching. Your knowledge is amazing, as are these people! I swear though I think I'm falling in love with Muharum(sp?) lol It's as though I can feel his love and joy for life, his reactions are genuinely spontaneous as though he wears his heart on his sleeve; you can tell him that just means he shows his heart easily and that's a good thing ❤️ I can sense and feel his heart!
Oh wow, thank you for this. We are so connected. I love the Cranberry song and the Bad Wolf song and and currently writing a zombie story inspired by the song. I’ve been watching your channel for months. Keep up the great work.
Nice! This one is one I wanted to see as soon as you did "The Sound of Silence"! ;)
You should play MLK “I have a dream…..”
Why not All is One, by Orphaned Land? Should be interesting.
Everyone brought new things about this to my attention. I actually have researched this. But your research on the video itself and what all of you saw and spoke about is reducing me to tears.
I nearly lost my daughter at 15 to a kidnapping. She was missing 7 days. The thought of not getting her back... I'm just glad I never had to face that. As I write she is now 22 and napping in her room. Thank you for your thoughtful words. 🙏
I'm so happy to hear that you got your daughter back! 💕
I am so sorry to learn about such incident and I can't imagine how worried you might be at that moment. But I am so glad you got her back, we all should be grateful for what we have been blessed for especially our families and friends. May I suggest a song for you to listen? The lost children by Michael Jackson.
WOW! I'm sure you cherish her even more now. So happy you got her back!!!!!
I cherish my girls. We've had some big struggles though. It made our bonds stronger but our bodies weaker.
Thank you so much... her name is actually Persian ...my beautiful beloved one...my little Vashti.
What a hideous experience! I am so glad you got her back (ransom? IRA?) The 'new' bandits & anarchists & criminals of today are much more heartless, more ruthless, more 'dead' inside. No conscience. The Trybal episodes reduce me to tears with the extra background research & watching the reactions of these sweet people.
I sit in tears watching this, torn between the saddness of the song and the warmth I feel for the listeners. We are all brothers and sisters. One human family. One love. On another note I think it's awesome to see the listeners enjoy heavy metal so much. Well done im subscribing most definitely!
Never have I seen a reaction channel like this. This was so pure. I loved every second of this!! Instant sub here and I cannot wait to see more! 😍🥰
Most welcome, thank you :) :) :)
Saw her play in Boston with her new band about 10 + years before she passed so glad I got to see her preform live. Her voice was so powerful
It´s so hard to watch this right now...
I´m living not far from the border to Ukraine, where this kind of stuff has been happening pretty much every day for years now and its about to escalate...
Why are people doing the same mistakes over and over again?
Why aren´t we able to find a way to live peacefully together?
It´s scary to think about what could reach us every minute.
We've done this for thousands of years, and likely for thousands more years.
I hope the best for you and your family and Ukraine. What is going on there is terrifying. I wish I had words of comfort for you that would make you feel better, but anything I say will sound hollow. 💔
My wife has family in Ukraine and we are watching the situation with great concern. Please know that we are watching and praying for you.
And like most people, I want to live in peace and freedom. But it seems the world is full of people who wish to force others to bend to their will. So like countless generations before me I must accept that I have to be prepared to fight. Not what I would choose but it seems choice is rapidly becoming less of a factor.
I'm sorry for what you are going through there. I hope cooler heads prevail.
I’m so sorry . I pray things improve for you and your country.
I’ve found that governments rarely reflect their people ( in general).
During this pandemic I’ve been able to see people from every country reach out to each other and truly ‘see’ the humanity in each other despite borders , politics or religion.
It’s my hopes the younger generations continue to reach out and stop the nonsense of the elites .
Praying for your safety ♥️🙏☮️
These are all such beautiful human beings. I love each and every one of them like they were my own family.
They are amazing people, I love learn more about their coulture
We all see the same things in war and wish instead for peace. If it were up to most people, we would no longer fight one another in wars. Thank you for this video. ♥️
Very true.
Endless wars what a waste
It's the 1% of society that are sociopaths and psychopaths that have power that allow or propagate the evil and allow such abominations against humanity. The rest of us feel and lament.
@@rojodiver3344 exactly vast majority of ppl want to just live in peace and get on with life
By no means do I support war or violence but an important piece of context in this situation, as I’m sure is the case in many other similar situations, is that all of this violence started through peaceful protesting by Irish Catholics in the North. They were protesting their treatment as second class citizens. The discrimination they faced in relation to housing, healthcare, education, employment, politics, etc. by the Protestant and British people. They were harassed and assaulted by the Protestant led police, they couldn’t get proper housing or healthcare, and their interests were not represented in government. They protested for fairer and more equal treatment but the police, not them, instigated violence against them. Some of their demands were compromised on but still after several protests and violent attacks they were not listened to. This led to a revival of the Irish Republican Army who sought to take matters into their own hands and avenge the violence that had been afflicted upon them. I don’t support the violence of the IRA but I also don’t know what else these Irish people could have done to gain equal rights in their country. I don’t support systemic discrimination or ignoring the complaints of a marginalised community or refusing to make changes for greater equality just to avoid “giving in” to violent extremists. People’s human rights were still being taken away during this period and little was done to amend that.
I didn't know the history behind this song. I love the song, but now I am even more emotional moved by it, almost to tears. Thank you for presenting these things to the listener.
Also, I think it's great to see your interviews of tribal people to open the minds of others up, that people can be of different cultures, but we all are human wanting peace, and to live our lives.
This was the best thing I have watched all day... The best reaction video I have watched as well as the most respectfully moderated video I have watched EVER. Having one of the songs that move me most included was almost a bonus.
It is very beautiful how the moderator very respectfully educates/informs the participants as well as how each of them were so respectful to us audiences by participating very smartly dressed/presented...A simple respect I have as a UA-cam viewer failed to have witnessed for so long I can not remember the last time.
I understand and appreciate that "looks" is not everything... Even here it is not... But the whole idea and care of wanting to present more of themselves to us was a simple act of what I believe must be in their nature: "To share" what they can... Giving what they have.
So much as if for once: I actually had felt that I was not a number in the algorithm to entertain the counter. But an audience to people that I, my views and perception... Mattered.
Thank you and your participants for the wonderful experience.
I have heard this song so many times-it was everywhere when I was in my teens but I never really paid attention to the lyrics or music vid. I clicked on this for amusement, but I learned so much from this. In terms of the historical and cultural significance. Thank you for explaining the background story and significance. I don't think I will be able to ever hear this in quite the same way ever again. Especially the bit in the video where you could see the woman screaming silently, and the beginning re : Michaelangelo's "Pieta". I saw the sculpture myself in the Vatican basilica. It was so much smaller than expected and behind a special bulletproof but transparent material but the features and depiction of Mary holding her dead child's body, made me feel suckered punched, so very sad, senseless, angry and impressed by the work all at once. Because at that moment in time, and the moment it depicted could have represented any mother who has lost her child and the grief in her face-so raw, and tragic-could have been any and every mother. And of course reminded me of all of the war going on-Afghanistan, Iraq, natural disasters like the Tsunami in 2004, and because I had just been to India a few months previously. It is all quite powerful and overwhelming seeing this. Wow
As a not entirely random aside, both Britain and CBS censored this song due to the Iraq war. CBS used it in their reality TV series American Rock Star but got the words "tanks, bombs and guns" removed in case it made it sound like the sound was "anti-war". Britain just censored the whole thing before the Iraq war started in case it offended public feelings due to "sensitive material".
To this day this song and video still never fail to bring a tear or two to my eyes. The situation with Ireland, Northern Ireland and the UK is an extremely complicated one as it usually is with these things and there are so many different groups and sub groups involved, none of which are innocent. As an English person, I am truly angry at my country as even after the many years of violence that happened during this conflict and other conflicts before it, there still isn't enough accountability and pretty much no justice at all. But again, that's usually how these things go. There are many great Irish and Northern Irish bands who have sung about this war. Just one other particular good one to check out is Stiff Little Fingers who come from Belfast. Jim Reily, one of their former drummers lost his brother during this war when he was murdered by a soldier for simply walking down the street. And I once found an interview with their bassist Ali McMordie where he spoke about when he was still a boy and he couldn't go to school for long periods of time because there were bombs going off everywhere and dead bodies all around. So leaving the house to go to school just wasn't safe. No child should ever have to witness that growing up.
Same I can never keep my cool hearing the song. I feel the pain completely
This song has always held a special place in my heart. My grandmother emigrated from Ireland to the US in 1912. She went home for a visit in 1916 and had all her friends sign her autograph book. Half the signatures have the slogan "Up the Republic!" or some variation, as the war for independence was just then beginning and the people who signed were supporters of independence.
Grandmother went back home again in 1927 and more than half of those people were dead from the war.
I was just a little boy in the early 1970's when a new outbreak of fighting began and the nightly news showed footage of people killing each other in the streets. My grandmother was heartbroken to see that the war was still going on, even almost 50 years after Ireland was declared independent, save for Northern Ireland. She passed away in 1974 and never saw peace in her homeland.
Dolores O'Riordan sang very much like my grandmother, and to hear her singing this in 1994 broke my own heart. Thankfully, things have changed over there.
I was in high school in 73. I remember . *My grandparents also came in the early 1900’s and on the other side -during the famine .
I married a man who was indigenous American when I grew up . In 1973 in America there would also be an issue at Wounded Knee (in 1890 a great tragic massacre of indigenous people occurred ). At Wounded Knee 1973 200 Oglala Sioux natives stood up to proclaim “ enough !” .
If there was a mindset to not “ offend “ another there would be no need to “ defend “ either .
It’s the every day people who see the ills of war and unfortunately the ones who are sent to fight them .
Those that start wars don’t have to sacrifice. I suppose it’s why war is so easy to profit from . Those who profit never have “ pay “ the price though .
@@ssshadowwolf6762 "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" was the first "adult" book I read. I couldn't have been older than 9 at the time, probably younger.
My best friend at that age was a Tohono O'Odham boy who had been adopted by a hippie-type couple, so his name was Butchie Bloomquist.
I kinda lost my mind one time when another mother in the neighborhood called him a little savage. I painted profanities on her walls one morning and got a reputation as anti-semetic. I didn't hate her because she was Jewish, I hated her because she called my friend a savage.
I, too, married a native-American. We've been together 34 years and her family is always a little amused by my 6'2" Viking-Irish self. XD
@@DonBean-ej4ou Both the 1916 rising and world war 1. What other wars were there? Republicans were fighting for the UK in world war 1 if they could get attached to Irish regiments. Some were even awarded medals for bravery and sent them back, joining the IRA when returning home. Some never made it back and sadly are remembered as traitors by a lot of people.
Things haven't changed that much. Nowhere near as bad but the killings are still happening
@@garethmccomb814 what killings are you talking about? Are you even living here in Ireland?
I love everyone's reaction on the video!
Back in 2017, I visited Thailand during Songkran, their water festival holiday. And while entering a street, it was literally jam packed with people having a water war!! And there also seem to be a singing battle going on with both sides of the street singing in unison "Zombie"... it was quite an incredible experience!! So now, everytime I hear this song, it brings me back to that moment!
I love how this guy gets tribal people to listen to modern western music & explains it to the tribal people in great detail & accuracy. Keep it up, I love it!
I cried thru this whole video. Why can we not just love each other thru our different opinions? We are all God's children. I love the reactions from these beautiful people.
This is great!! Love the Cranberries...sad how the lead singer died...she was truly a gift.
Yep...
Thank you for choosing this song. It's one of my all time favourites and I'm so glad I got to see people reacting to it for the first time.
And special kudos to you for telling them about the lyrics, and especially about the background of the song.
Edit: I only finished the video now, and I gotta say, the words
"Who would take money for her child's bones" are hauntingly poetic.
Omg you kept pausing right at the epic breakdowns!!!😭 But this was such a well done video. I really enjoyed hearing the history and seeing how the emotion and story transcends cultures
As a guy from Kilkenny, Ireland this brought tears to my eyes. Now I hope that Palestine can see peace like Ireland is today in the North and South of the country.
lemoyne can fight to the last
Everyone on both sides must want peace more than attacks. It has been tried twice. Twice Palestinians rejected the compromise offers negotiated.
Since 2000, there has been no clear leadership of Palestinians to negotiate with. They are split and not unified enough to stop attacking.
Maybe someday Palestinians will unify and be willing to accept SOME of what they want to get a nation of their own. Until then, there is no point in trying right now. America tried twice. We are weary of it.
.
@@corinnem.239 wow, so it's the palestians who must compromise. Incredible. Live in apartheid in their own country, treated as second class citizens, attacked in the streets by polcie and Army, their movements restricted, WAY more people killed than israelis, (but people ONLY talk when hamas retaliates,) had their land taken off them. But it is THEY who must compromise. That's certainly an "opinion..."
@@corinnem.239 Ireland had no unifying force at the time. Much of the IRA was just various factions operating at their own discretion. It was only once it was to the advantage of both sides to make concessions and not just one side that they finally found peace.
@@corinnem.239 they had a nation of their own.....your neighbors don't get to move in your house and take over
Your channel makes me understand how different cultures should relate to each other. Your humanity is a blessing from God, an exhortation to be brothers. Peace and prosperity for all of you and for Northern Ireland. 🙏🏻 From Italy with love.
I respect you Italians. We as immigrants where living in the slums, filth and dirt together. Faced oppressed and police brutality, racism, xenophobia and hatred. Still today
This is how every work of art should be analyzed. Brilliant job.
Every time a video brings up the topic of grief or loss, especially involving children, I feel everything Riaz feels. I see the pain and understanding in his eyes. It's the emotion only someone who has lost a child understands. I think of his baby girl and know his pain. He is so insightful and compassionate.
I love Mr Burghio, he always seems to truly FEEL the music & the message held within it. . Zombie is one of my favourite songs because it is so powerful in every way & never ceases to give me goosebumps, from the very first notes, & feel the raw emotions of grief, helplessness & futility. It's wonderful that the Delores' message is still being shared & lessons learned from the mistakes made & lives wasted. 🙏
That song is straight fire. It came out when I was in high school and it still gives me chills to this day every time I hear it.
I'm from Warrington England and there is a memorial on Bridge Street where one of the explosions happened. I never knew this song was written in memory of the two lads. (johnathan ball and tim parry)
I am sorry for confusing Warrington being in Ireland, if you know of any short documentary about it please let me know so I can share it with our friends
@@TRYBALS hi I'm not sure about any documentary but there was a TV movie regarding the bombing and their mothers. Called " mother's day "
@@alex4724 sounds great, I am planning to play them movies in near future as well. Would be great if the one you suggested is in Hindi dubbed.
I am so glad you chose this song. The Cranberries is one of my favorite bands and was actually the first concert I ever went to. I was just going to start as a freshman in high school. Their music, especially this song, impacted me even in my younger years. I consider it an honor to have seen them in concert. Although I am an American, my father's side of our family is of Irish decent. I learned a lot about Ireland from books and the internet. However, it's the stories that my grandmother would describe of her Irish heritage that I learned the most from. The Cranberries are such an incredible band. Dolores O'Riordan was an amazing song writer, singer, musician. May her beautiful soul rest in peace. Thank you for reacting to The Cranberries. 😎👍
This is a brilliant concept, it's philosophically artistic and getting the opinions of these people who face tremendous (by western standards) challenges daily really is a unique exploration of music, and potentially other arts. I'd love to see their reaction to, say, Jean-Michel Basquiat's story and what his art now demands at auction, and their opinion on his art that commanded $110,500,000 USD
I just can't help but notice that I really like your name.
I think they already reacted to him in our reaction to modern art video:

@@kulgerta lol👍
This video was so well done! You could see the impact of the video very clearly. Also can I just add that these people have such elegance and grace to them? Just beautiful people all around especially with their comments! Great vid!!
I have heard this song playing since 10 years but this is the first time I really understood the meaning and openly cried many tears at the pain caused by these wars.
10:05 "Mashallah, all these songs have taught me so much bro"
That is the true wonder of art. To pull you in and make you learn starting from the heart 🙌❤️
"Who would take money for her child's bones!" 😟😭 I knew Parvati would have something deep to say about this
Yes this is art in its highest form . It is something that speaks to the heart . This song is a very powerful work
of art . If it was a painting, it would be hanging in a great gallery - a masterpiece !
I think all of them lost some family members to war and hunger. Ist so sad.
I am English and I’d like to say every time i hear this song (no exceptions) i get tears in my eyes. I follow a few music reaction people on UA-cam and I ALWAYS suggest this song... it feels so important, its beyond music.
These people are cool, and their tribal dress is actually really freaking stylish.
This is an amazing perspective from a different culture who goes through the same things she was singing about in this song. Its such a classic song that I loved as a kid and just in the past few years found out the actual meaning behind it. Thank you for this video, you got yourself a new subscriber! ❤❤🙏
Thank you, glad you liked my efforts 🤗❤️🌷
Thank you for the time spent on creating this video. My grandparents were from Ireland and had to leave with her brothers and sisters. They survived when so many did not. As for the reasoning behind the gold person and the silver children with bows screaming . That is the singers own idea. The gold and silver representing the beauty we see or want to see. The children screaming with bows, raw clips, and the cross signifies the pain and suffering going that went on and how many people around the world closed their eyes to this traumatic event.
First off, anytime I hear a Cranberries song and hear Dolores O'Riordan's voice I instantly get goosebumps. I live in California, US and this particular song has always been one of my favorites and instantly brings the 1990's to mind. Secondly, I love that TRYBALS listened to Zombie and watched the video. To see their reaction to the music and imagery was amazing. Hearing their comments almost brought me to tears. Their insight is fantastic! Thank you for sharing this with us.
I'm from Cali to a my reaction with the same as yours except I always cry when I hear this song because it reminds me of that time and I remember when this happened the troubles I mean.
Thanks to this channel for teaching about the history behind the song. I will now enjoy this song with deeper appreciation and heart
Love your videos Trybals 😡 Mukhtar, what you said about the dogs, that struck a chord with me, id never heard or thought that before.
Being an Irish person, i really wanted to say that the war with England began over 800 years ago, when they invaded, they were fought back many times, but were never completely ousted. The Irish never stopped trying. To this day, the North of Ireland remains part of the UK (England) War is awful, no matter where on this earth it occurs, pain and loss is the same the world over.
I really admire your channel and all your participants, Thank you all 😊💚 ☘️
I didn't know the clips in this video were real. It breaks my heart every time I see children playing with toy guns and trying to "kill" each other. I've learned so much from your videos -- thank you for sharing. This is one powerful song -- it came out when I was a kid, and I thought her voice was cool but certainly didn't understand the meaning of it. Now that I'm older I know the power behind it. So amazing how music can influence the world. P.S. Mukhtiar must be a serious metalhead! LOL And Parvati's veil is so pretty today 😊
I love not only how this channel show how universal humanity is but also I learn so many things about the context or meanings of my favorite songs.
You guys do such a good work!
Took me to get old to understand this song. sends shivers. RIP Dolores O'Riordan.
As a military spouse and a mother who has lost a child, this brought me to tears. Music and pain transcend all languages. Thank you for your diligence and understanding.
Condolences for you and your family's loss.
when ye go to the front
ye must know that ye will end in the pine box
your reaction videos from this group are so powerful - it shows that no matter where we are all from ( I am Canadian) that we all feel the pain of war and the decisions of our leaders..it is always the children that suffer the most - especially as Dolores has died it made it so much more poignant to me...music is it's own language
Zombies, the way they are portrayed in modern culture are just a creative character, but the origine comes from the practice of using Datura and other herbs to drug people and keep them in a submissive and compliant state to keep them as slaves, basically.
Yes, the original zombies were not mindless undead. They were living whose will had been stolen from them.
Oh wow! I never knew this information! Thank you
The Serpant and The Rainbow is one of my favorite movies and that's how I learned this.
My dad was a military man and my parents were divorced so I never spent much time. Right now he’s on retirement due to having surgeries on his legs, he’s seen war especially during Iraq. It gave him terrible PTSD and worsened his already known mental health problems.
I unfortunately got the short end of the mental health stick and this song to me described what goes on in my head. Not a literal war but one that happens in my mind. It’s been a part of me since childhood. I’m 17 going on 18 and this song still resonates with me
You don't hear music like this anymore with such grat lyrics and a loud, deep rich thick guitar sounds and that voice thisbis a master piece
“Who would take money for their child’s bones?”
this knocks on the door to the hidden room where I keep my shame about having been a part of the U.S. war machine in Iraq. I often was part of a large group of servicemembers whose commander was responsible for disbursing money to Iraqi families whose loved ones had been killed.
Hi I was in a waiting room in Dublin some yrs ago and got talking to another lady sitting there; she was from Mosul and had gained refugee status here, her little boy and husband were there too, a beautiful little boy, he was so funny, that's how we got talking. Anyway it didn't take long to hear her story Isis were in Mosul at the time and the worry she felt for her family still there was palpable. Her sisters now had to be covered, they could no longer go to school, my heart went out to her. Her boy was her miracle as she had great difficulty conceiving and to be in a safe country was a great relief to her
That's the thing isn't it, we are all the same at the end of the day, we all have people we care about and love. We all want to live peacefully.
My brother had spent some time in the US Navy in peacetime and he was called up for that war and spent two years search and rescue... i remember how freaked out my mother was, the odd call home but not knowing really what he was up to, where he was, it's like an international language mothers worried for their children.
I am glad you made it home safe and back to your family; that shame you might feel should not be yours to bear, I would put it onto the leaders and warmongers who make these decisions that throw people's lives into chaos. The rest of us on the planet really want no part of this but sometimes find ourselves in the thick of it.
I wish you a happy and peaceful rest of your life, you've been through a great trauma, and I hope for healing to you and everyone really.
When you consider the circumstances that poor mother lived in, that statement carried even more grace and pathos, I thought.
This is a beautiful sentiment. Thank you
One of the best reaction videos I've seen, and I learned a lot about the origins of the song. You took four wise, polite and decent people from another culture who saw the futility of conflict while conveying perfectly what it means to be human. Well done and thank you.
Thank you Trybals! Yes, We Are The World. And I feel blessed for getting to know you.
American Chinese here. I love what you are doing putting a face to the people we will never meet and realizing the empathy is no different from other people. They are humans just like every develop countries.
I’ve always loved this song and knew it was about something serious and emotional so I appreciate learning more about it.
I just want to say as someone who is from Ireland I’d like to thank you researching the real meaning behind this song!!
Awesome video, everyone! Love it.
Will Abdul be coming back to do more reactions? I love hearing what he has to say in each video. He is full of such wisdom and insight! Sure missed him for this video!
I agree that this song should be played at every world leader gathering. I'm glad that this song has had a billion views and has been seen by different cultures, the only bad thing is that someone had to write this type of song in the first place. Keep up the good work with the videos😊👍❤️🇬🇧
Oh no, I keep crying to these videos, when they started talking about mothers losing their childern in the end, it's just so sad what's going on around the world, a lot of us are very lucky to never have to deal with such things, but not everyone is equally blessed. Fantastic video once again.
Incredible as always!! You explained the meaning of the song so well. Their visceral reaction was powerful to see!
A very intense video, well done and thank you for showing such a powerful and impactful song. Great research to the origins of this song. Well done indeed.
I was about 13 or 14 when this song came out. My mum was dying from cancer but I still remember the Warrington bombing and the kids.
This is my all time favourite song and I think it's meaning and message is very appropriate for the world today.
The comment about the dog was spot on! People can be worse than animals.
Thank you for sharing this song with these lovely people. It's interesting to see their reactions.
Thank you so much for bringing us this project. This message that we are all the same, we feel the same passions and fears, the same joy and despair - this is the one message that the world needs right now. We all desperately need hope, and I’m seeing the tiniest glimmer right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
As a child I loved this song so much, eveb thought I couldn't understand a word she was singing. I think this is what an amazing song is. It's something all people understand without understanding the lyrics.
I've always loved this song, very interested to see their reactions! Love this channel and these people.
this is my favorite "reacting" channel. Thanks so much for inviting those beautiful people. Could you show them something about Canada ? I'd love to hear them about our maple products, our culture or our artists.
Agreed, very well researched and insightful commentary. @Trybals there are alot of huge Canadian Artists out there, Brian Adams, Avril Lavigne, Celine Dion, etc. One comparison I love: is Stan Rodgers: Northwest Passage vs the cover of it by: Unleash the Archers - ua-cam.com/video/XRD3vrSLPaw/v-deo.html , it speaks to the grand outdoors and the explorer spirit in Canada. Sung 40 years apart.
It can be argued, the war began during the reformation period of the 1500s. The catholic/protestant war had breaks but they fought that long.
Good review. It’s great to see someone do the actual research into the song and educate during the reaction. I enjoyed this a lot considering I’ve listened to this song since it came out but still learned some stuff from your commentary.
Job well done
wow... such a wonderful thoughtful and respectful approach to explaining and introducing Zombie to people removed from our culture and history, this is a very emotive song to most Irish people and to see your panel engage and experience that is all together on another level well done truly WELL DONE
The statements of all those people are full of wisdom. I respect them a lot. I like their reactions, they are very inspirating for me.
Btw. I know the words of the song from heart as bilions of other people around the world, but till today I had no idea about the story behind the song.
I'm glad they got to witness this masterpiece!! Still brings tears to my eyes, especially after just having a beautiful baby boy 2 weeks ago!! Cheers, Trybal family!
Congratulations on the baby.
@@jeremyfrost2636 thanks! I now know why I'm put on this Earth.
Happy for you, congratulations!
@@guslakis thanks!! I'm sure everyone with a newborn says this, but he is absolutely perfect! From his tiny digits to his hilarious facial expressions!
This probably isn't the comment thread to say this, but, and I hope this goes for everyone, having a newborn pert near changed me and how I view the world. Chasing dollar bills, fame, etc. just isn't the way. (Not that I was, really, but for this comment's purposes...) We are to guide the future, and hope they learn from our mistakes. Its all about the children! Love them infinitely and unconditionally, guide them through life's hurdles, and teach them compassion towards any and all creeds, races, and cultures.
Maybe one day, our great grandchildren will be the cause for positive change in this crazy place we call Earth. We sure arent.. lol
Sorry if I rambled on a bit about unrelated topics. Just felt that someone, somewhere might read this and feel the same way..
Cheers!
Waiting on the next upload!
They should also see "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath
Good choice!
another great video! Thank you for sharing this with us! the reactions are very intense and the comments super smart! nice to see how ppl from a different culture think about this.
and.. thanks for explaining the meaning of the video! Didn't knew this either! :-)
