Dolores O'Riordan had a special voice. RIP. The world will miss you
RIP Dolores
Thats true ❤️
I get the chills everytime I hear this song
@@wyattboyd9357 oh geez I forgot......now I feel like crap 😕
She pass away...???..
Im from Northern Ireland and this song is our unofficial national anthem. I grew up in a divided community between catholics and protestants and this song brings us together
Ulster plantation
@@KAP814 wtf?
Pfft, Northerner.

This song was written in response to 2 young children that were killed by a bombs planted by the IRA in England. The fight between the IRA had been going on for decades. Dolores was tired of innocents being killed. Great touching song by a great artist. RIP Dolores. 🥺
Close but not quite. She's speaking of the troubles in northern Ireland... The longstanding, systemic oppression of Irish Catholics by the British and the resulting violence including the IRA.
@@moniqueleroux2198 you clearly missed it it’s a peace song and it was written in response to the Warrington bombing.
The song is about “The Troubles” as a whole, the senseless violence on both sides and innocent people (particularly children) getting caught up in it.
The Warrington Bombing was the specific event that acted as the final straw for Dolores which led her to write the song.
@@onechopbuddy3849 that was an incident that inspired the writing of the song. The troubles in Ireland went on from 1968-98 but were the result of issues that go back much further. (Read the graffiti in the video) I would be reluctant to correct somebody if I didn't have an understanding of the subject at hand.
Rip dolores our guardian angel 🕊️
Her vocalized 'noises' in this is called Keening in Ireland (5:42 ) . It's a type of mourning song. It very closely resembles someone sobbing over a loved ones passing. She does it justice in this song. I had to tell my own mother my brother passed away. The sound of a mother crying out for her child who is gone is haunting, and I feel those two kids who motivated this song (died in a random bombing on mothers day while buying her a card) were given their proper. Enjoyed the reaction.
Lead singer is Dolores "Riordan. RIP.
Thank you so much for this information. I had no idea. My own 1/2 Irish mother passed, she and I sung together and I still grieve her. Idk if I could pull keening off tho
is there a way to learn how to keening i have Irish in my family
I'm sorry for your loss
@@caffeinatedkatie4696 I'm sorry for your loss
@@zanethind thank you.
The back story behind this song is incredible, I’m not religious but I really pray that the peace in Northern Ireland can be maintained.
Amen to that!
@@ShawnandMel4Life Knowing some of the back story, what it means to me is that we're left to fight wars that have nothing to do with us. Those were our ancestors: "It's not me, it's not my family". We feel that in America too and it ruins us. The kids suffer for the sins of the past.
I'm British so my only awareness of The Troubles - such a minimising name - in Ireland was the bombing that spilled into London near me. It's definitely a piece of history worth looking into
@@highheeledfagin i narrowly missed two ira bombs in London, the bishopsgate bomb in 1993 i was 19 years old and the docklands bomb in 1996.... we were fed propaganda for years (on both sides) and learnt to hate, politics is a dirty game this is why the hard won peace in Northern Ireland is so important..... it’s not me it’s not my family is exactly how we all felt, the feeling of just being helpless
@@highheeledfagin i dont accept terrorism, but i understand the irish view, England was the agressor who want to take over Ireland, like they do it with Scotland, Wales etc. Hope the wounds will cure someday forever.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe that vocal style is called keening. It's used at Irish funerals to convey grief. 😣
First time I ever heard keening was when Sinead O'Conner broke into the charts with her debut - she incorporated it into her singing in a very similar way to Dolores. Both Sinead and Dolores blend keening with traditional rock singing so well.

Delores O'Riordan was the lead singer of The Cranberries. She passed away on her way to do a cover of this song with Bad Wolves. They still went on with the cover in honor of her. This song was about Ireland.
Thank you so much for your feedback
@@ShawnandMel4Life You're welcome. And if you want some hilarious metal covers to songs check out Leo Moracchioli. He is great.
She passed away in the bathtub.
Check out Bad Wolves Zombie. Bad Wolves covered this song
originally and sent demo to Delores O Riordan of the Cranberries. She wanted to do her take on their cover and the day she was suppose to record her part and she died the same day by drowning in a tub on 1-15-2018. So instead of Bad Wolves releasing the song they selved it for a min then contacted Delores family/children and ask their permission to release the cover of her song and send all proceeds to the family. Please check it out.
I had no idea that she was on her way to do a cover when she passed away. When I first(and only once) heard that cover 2yrs ago I automatically thought, "ok, how can they possibly do this song justice and make it feel right?" I was skeptical but the emotion came through. I'll have to give them more credit now that I know she was on board with the idea and that it wasn't a simple money grab or something like that by Bad Wolves.
This, to me, is one of the most powerful songs ever written. There isn't a time I listen to it that my eyes don't well up with tears for a million reasons.
This song makes me cry, everytime...
me too... R.I.P. Dolores
Same here such a deep and meaningful song
One line. " When the violence causes silence we must be mistaken." shakes me everytime.
The line right before crushes always me to tears ("Another mother's breaking, Heart is taking over")
@@r.d.hargrave8159 yeah. I guess, if you think about it, every line in the song is powerful.
Love the Cranberries! RIP Delores O'riordan. Her voice is amazing.
Hey Mel, Delores had a beautiful voice. Thank you for watching!
@@ShawnandMel4Life you're welcome! Everytime I get a notification I'm always hoping it's one y'all's reactions!
Dolores was a beast. “Linger” is my favorite of theirs.
R.I.P. Delores.
I love linger.
Her Name was Dolores
@@Iloveautumnnn 😲👍🏿
Daffodil Lament is my fave. Not gonna lie, I hated Linger when it first came out (I was 16), but after hearing their albums in their entirety, I was hooked and could not deny the awesomeness.
You are dealing with a real Masterpiece here. Even before Dolores sings her first note, this song sweeps away any contemporary music, and when she does, is literally lights years away from the current compositions.
This is a forever hymn.
The production and the video superb.
They're from Limerick Ireland.
I stayed in a home next door to the remaining band members and was woken to loud music at 2 a.m.
Best night of my life.
I'm very jealous! Would have loved to be woken up to live the cranberries jamming out!
This song is about "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland. Catholics versus Protestents. Lots of car bombs, urban warfare, etc. You guys need to do some online research about it. Back in the 70's and 80's, the Irish Republican Army (the IRA) made the news almost on a weekly basis.
This song is about the bombings in Warrington, England by the IRA. Children were among the casualties.
And Irish Catholics were persecuted routinely. It's easy to demonize a foe without illuminating the hatred in which they've been persecuted by. Take the black Americans who have been systematically persecuted for centuries.
And you need to go beyond the internet! This is gone on for centuries.. much more complex than a pseudoterrorist organization.
I was a teenager in the 90’s, it was still going on while I was a kid.
New bomb threat every few weeks near me, was wank.
I lived in London at the time and we had to watch out for packages all the time. Every week there was a bomb scare in a tube station or large stores. It was part of our lives and it should never have been so. Thankfully that side of it is over as so many innocents were killed in those decades. This is what religion does. Touched everyone in Ireland and the main land too.
Never forget. Always in our hearts. ❤️
Dolores O'Riordan our Irish angel, RIP 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
These are the scenes of my youth - I grew up and still live in N. Ireland. The army was everywhere, machine guns were a non-remarkable thing cos they were an every day sight. Bombs & bomb scares were so common that they became almost 'normal'......Police & Army checkpoints were every few miles, so you would have to produce photo ID....most times with an AK-47 inches away from your face. Our so-called 'peace' is still very fragile. R.I.P. Dolores for giving us this song💔....it is part of our history and 'The Troubles'. It's message is overwhelming powerful.
Not saying what you said wasnt true but British army never had AK.47s , IRA used them
@@jimdoyle8757 I’m not an expert in machine guns - I was a child then teenager & that’s what they were referred to by our parents. Regardless of type, a machine gun being so close to your head on a daily basis is traumatic to say the least. I think this video gives a glimpse into what the people of N. Ireland have endured. I know more about the IRA and the UVF than I ever wanted to know, but the violence was endless & impossible to escape.
@@kittenklub1964 i cant imagine what you went through in N ireland , as an irish family living in london with the bombs going off and being labelled a terrorist wasnt very nice for my parents , anyway drifting away from what i said i wasnt being rude or anything i was just noting that the british army didnt carry those weapons
They should teach this stuff in school I had no clue anything like this happened in Ireland
@@Camothor10 I learned that in school (Germany). Where are you from?
Its about the collateral damage, especially children, in the mindless violence of war. Bad Wolves did a wonderful tribute to her after she died.
Cranberries - So Cold in Ireland. 'Linger' and 'Dreams' were their first two songs to be hits, but they have many beautiful songs. Love to Delores.
Definitely linger and dreams please
Ireland!, the lead singer is Dolores o'riordan she died a few years ago RIP
This was a call out to the bombing in the North of Ireland that killed two young lads. They are painted in gold because they are supposed to be precious but the armies on both sides (IRA and British) were blindly going around bombing each other like zombies. The Cranberries are really great band I would get into them in your own time, I love their album "no need to argue" its just beautiful. They have tons of great tracks, another rabbit hole for you. Love from Ireland.
The bombing was in an English town called Warrington
I was just about to say that what I would like is to be in a big room and be able to see how many people raise their hands when asked who here was born and raised in Êire lol. Because many sure know a lot about nothing. Well not nothing but half the story.
It was in warrington
@@brumav9779 thank you I don’t think some are getting that Warrington is not In Ireland. I might have to start calling some people out
The bombing was in Warrington, Cheshire, England .I remember it like it was yesterday, I would visit my aunt and uncle who were the mayor and mayoress in Warrington every school holiday to hang out with my cousins ,we were 12/13 years old and had been in the town centre for a few hours so decided to get a mackies and go home ,the bomb was in a bin outside Mc Donald's ,we sat on the window ledge outside to eat as it was busy inside threw our rubbish in the bin with the bomb in and started walking up the road ,a minute later that bomb went off ,we ran ,didn't know what to do ,the police wouldn't let anyone in or out of the town centre ,it was awful ,when I hear this song I'm taken straight back there . RIP to the poor young victims
Bad Wolves/Zombie..As tribute to Dolores O'Riordan R.I.P.
shite
It's a great song and they were gonna do the song with her but she was taken before they could record it and so the band done it anyway and donated the money from the song to her children, they had great respect for her and they did a good job and had power behind her words.
So yeah deffo look at the version from them
@@billrand4138 can’t say I agree, the band got a lot of hate for releasing it.
She was supposed to record the vocals the day after she killed herself. The donated the proceeds to her children.
It was a great version of the song.
@@lupo10 i know about the details ,,,but its still shit lol,,,just generic US rock,,,,the origional has soul,,in the music
@@billrand4138 it’s definitely different to the original but I wouldn’t say it’s shit. I have both in my playlists and enjoy both, prefer the vocals on the original but prefer the chord progression on the cover.
Horses for courses though I guess.
My wife loves this band, especially this song. It's a good song to jam out to when you're on a road trip.
One of the best songs of all time.
90's music deserves tremendous respect. Bands like Cranberries were breaking off crazy hits it seemed almost daily. I remember hearing "Zombie", for the first time, almost as if it were yesterday.
"Zombies" refers to the idea of people and generations fighting with no real idea of why they are fighting each other- factions of people living in the same place. Historically Britain/ England trying to overtake Ireland, - managed to take a small square of the place, but church became involved too. Huge disputes between Catholic and Protestant, fights led to tanks, military,bombs, many killings.
Idealism and political goals became forgotten, and generations grew up as "zombies", simply fed hatred in a divied society.
One Of The Greatest and Most Popular Meaningful Songs now that her message means way more than ever now in this day in age 2023
Thanks to Cool Ass Couples like you and helping grow UA-cam's Most Popular Growing Entity Reactions
I have listened it few month ago still my one of the all time greats.
The message of this song is so powerful. I’m not Irish but it surprises me to this day that people were not aware of what was going on in Ireland. Or, they didn’t realise the extend, or worse, they didn’t live through it so didn’t care 😢 I legit cried when I first heard this song. Delores has unfortunately left us. RIP Delores
Dolores is one of five best female rockers ever.
Easily. A goddess, oh to have kissed one of those cheeks.
Zombie is a song by the Irish band The Cranberries, released in 1994 as a single and on their album No Need to Argue. It is a protest song that addresses The Troubles in Northern Ireland, in particular the deaths of two children (Jonathan Ball and Tim Parry) in the Warrington bombings.
This song has such a deep and resonating meaning, about children being killed in a fight that they didn't choose. So sad!😢
PLEASE do more Cranberries! Linger, Dreams, Ode to my family, Dreaming my dreams, and more! So many great great songs to choose from one of the most unique voices in all of music. One of the few artists that can bring a tear to my eye. RIP
Grew up listening to them when they finally broke into the US music stream being back then that alone was a feat for most bands overseas. That song was written based off Ireland's at that time current events that was going on that most of the world wasn't completely aware of until they released the song and video. Delores did get a bunch flak from Ireland's government because they didn't want the world to know what was really going on there. They were part of the exposure type bands that came to the music scene back in the 80s-90s. Another one of those bands was Gorky Park. Their official video for My Generation shows what some of the things Russian citizens were dealing with up until the fall of the USSR and the Berlin wall fell. For us kids it was eye opening to know and see first hand just how other countries treated their citizens via music videos instead of just reading it in history books or national geographic movies shown in school.
I love you!!
RIP dolores
🙏🏼🇬🇧♥️☦️🎶
Imagine sitting through this with a big smile on your face.....
honestly, can't believe you hadn't heard of them before 😳 they are CLASSIC
RIP Delores 2016 2017 and 2018 hurt bad with the deaths of so many artists Chester, Chris Cornell, Prince, Tom Petty music will never be the same without them.
Quite probably the finest call for peace you will ever hear. It’s generally about the Troubles in Northern Ireland, but specifically it was a reaction to two boys who were killed by a bomb.
The lead singer is in irish-born lady that passed away in 2017 from an alcohol-related drowning. Her name was Dolores O'Riordan'. The song she wrote zombie was a result of two young men being killed or boys in 1993 in Northern Ireland caused by the troubles and the IRA. Dolores's voice control at the end of her notes as she rolls off and up as throwing your voice kind of is called keening. It is a practice used in singing at Irish funerals.. a war protest song leaning heavily towards Los pain and becoming numb to the bombs and the guns and child abductions because they needed fighters they were forced. Really difficult time in Ireland during the 20th century from 1916 Forward. Study History!
Been listening to this since 1993. Still give me my Irish chills everytime. I am 41 now and I will still listen to 91.
Now listen to Bad Wolves version of this song, they was gonna duet the song with Dolores but the day they were to record she died unexpectedly so Bad Wolves went ahead recorded and released the song....all proceeds went to her children
I was hoping someone called out this part. I was checking before I wrote it. Thank you for beating me to it.
Bad that we will never hear this voice live, RIP amazing Dolores!
THE CRANBERRIES ARE ONE OF A KIND!
The control you hear in her voice Is from her background in yodelling. In fact there are some songs out there of her just yodelling. She definitely had a unique voice. Check out ANY song on the "No Need to Argue" album. It won't disappoint. RIP DOLORES 🙏
The cross and children represent a vigil for 3 children killed in a bombing. The lyrics "It's not me, or my family. In you're head zombie" is pointing out the apathy towards conflict zones that most people don't care about because it doesn't directly effect them. RIP Dolores.
its not me, Its not my family" - she has said this meant because she was Irish, she (like most Irish people) and her family didnt support the killings or bombings, there would have been alot of hostility towards Irish people in the 90's in the UK because of IRA activity.
@@alzer6467 I can see that as well. The video highlighted the occupational forces at the beginning. Northern Ireland is still under occupation and has been since the Easter Rising to claim independence for Northern Ireland during World War I. 104-105 years of active occupation.
It was 2 children not 3
The song is about an IRA bomb that killed 2 kids in England. Dolores is saying what most of us in Ireland where thinking. We didn't support this violence or the killing of kids in our name.
She's an angel
Goddess rest her precious soul. She was an amazing person
Sometimes it's tough watching a new reaction to such a heartbreaking song sung by someone who unfortunately is no longer with us. It just brings you right back. She was a true warrior and advocate for all things good.
She died in her bathtub on 15 January 2018 at the age of 46 in a London hotel.. I am one of her biggest fans 🙏🏻
This is one of most powerful songs ever written and performed.
One of my favorite songs from the 90's.
This song gets me every time. So emotional.
NEXT DO THEIR SONG LINGER.
I love how your whole mood switched from "vibing to a great piece of music" to "holy s**t, what's going on?" at the scene where the four kids stood around the cross holding each others hands and finally starting to inaudibly scream, acompanied by that aggressive drums. And don't worry, that scene catches me every single time I watch that music video, it is just that impressive. Living in Europe and being born in the early 1980s, you learned a lot what was going on there and you instantly understood the images and knew who the zombies were they sang about.
From what I read at the time this represents the churches inaction to the murder of the innocent.
RIP BEAUTIFUL DOLORES AND THE TWO KIDS!🙏🏼🤍
I sincerely love how you guys don't pause and talk over the video, I appreciate that
Check out their song: Dreams. Totally diff & uplifting feel, but equally awesome
When I was young, my mother read the paper one morning and was crying. I asked her what was wrong and she tried to explain about the conflict between two groups of people that caused the death of some incident children. Later this song came out and it hit me to the core. I'm passionate about my beliefs, but if someone has a different point of view that's fine, I don't hold that against them.
When I was around the age of 5 or so, my dad showed me this song and I have loved it ever since. 17 now.
Beautyful person love her she is the best
Now you gotta try Bad wolves version of "zombie". Has to be my favorite covers of all time.
The front woman's name was Dolores O Riordan she died by drowning due to alcohol intoxication at 46 yrs old found submerged in her bathtub at London's Park Lane Hilton Hotel in 2018. Such a beautiful voice.
i listened to this for the first time 27 yrs ago and luvd it then and still luv it it today
The unmistakable, amazing voice of Dolores
Thaaaaank you for doing my request!!! I love yall!
Sadly the scars of the past turmoil can still be seen in Ireland. I was so sad when Dolores passed away, such a talent and gone much too early. The songs "Linger" and "Dreams" are absolutely fantastic and a must listen. They had me as a fan from the first album they released and I own every CD they did. This band is remarkable and it's totally because of Dolores O'Riordan and her haunting voice that is so versatile and carries such emotion into their songs. They have so many good songs it's hard for me to suggest because you'd have a huge list so the one's I did mention will start you at the beginning of this bands journey.
Delores had the voice of a true angel 👼. R.I.P. DELORES O RIORDEN.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone look so happy listening to this, guts me every time I hear it
I think they were enjoying the sound too much without getting the message.i thought the penny had dropped near the end,but alas
Yeah, they didn't pick up on the (obvious) imagery in the vid 🙄
This song was written in response to an IRA bombing in Warrington, England where two children died:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrington_bombings
And "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland in general:

Thank you SO much for reacting to my favorite band♥ I miss Dolores O'Riordan every day. They have a couple more well-known songs like "Linger" and "Dreams", maybe even "When you're gone" or "Ode to my family". Hopefully you can react to these too :)
Love the music...hate what happened.. Best voice
What a pure beautiful voice, left us way to soon, R.I.P Delores
The band is from Limerick Ireland and formed in 1989. The lead singer is Delores O' Riordan but unfortunately she was found in a swimming pool dead in 2018 from an accidental drowning. They decided to disband in 2019 because Delores was the sound of the band and without her voice the band could never be the same. They were considered the best alternative rock band of the 90s and won numerous awards.
Love watching your reactions. Love the energy you two bring to your videos. Keep rocking those tunes 🤘🏻
I believe she died in the bathroom in the hotel she was staying at
You have to do the Bad Wolves cover of this song now 🔥🔥🔥
not really..
Look in live!!! Congratulations from Resende-RJ - Brazil! I'm love Dolores!
We Miss You Dolores...We still cry. Soft kisses und warm hugs sweet one.
I love how you guys are jammin at the beginning and then the screaming scene starts and you both reacted accordingly. The music is such a bop, but then you realize there’s some horrible shit goin down in the message. It’s a very powerful song. Excellent reaction.
Request.

Chrissy Amphlett also was lost way too soon. RIP
Hey Kevin, thank you for your request.
@@ShawnandMel4Life Hey Guy! You want to hear the first heavy metal song I ever heard and changed me forever?
Judas Priest - United
I was 10 years old and it was in 1981. My older brother had their 8-track. There is a BBC live video. Memories
Thats our Delores :) givin' it heaps as always may she rest peacefully :):)
Cranberries have some really fantastic songs
She was planning a re release if this before she was killed
She died - she wasn't killed. Tragic, regardless.
THIS SONG IS ABOUT THE SOLDIERS WALKING AROUND LIKE IF THEY'RE LIFELESS... A.K.A ZOMBIES... WHAT'S IN THEIR HEAD?? FEEL ME??
And of course about the IRA terrorists blowing up Innocent children in Warrington.
errr no
@@billrand4138 It’s about all the violence on both sides, but was written in response to the Warrington murders. She is saying that they aren’t doing it in hers or her families name..... So how you can make it just about the soldiers (British) is unfathomable.
@@glennrowe2961 that was aimed at the OP mate lol
If the day ever comes that I don’t get chills listening to this song, I must be dead. Chills every time.
This song gives me chills EVERY time
You both are amazing people
A once in a life time singer ☘️❤️
She IS Amazing
as a musician this song is a true work of art, puting aside delores ' amazing vocals, openihrd 1 would think is gereric eminor, but nopes there's a sneaky f in there resonating with haunting reverb, ive never heard this before nor since, theen to Csuspended, fkn masterpiece.
A classic....
She was a big fan of Ordinary World by Duran Duran. Cause its touched her heart when she heard the song after her mum died. She sang the song in a duet with Simon Le Bon a while ago. Duran Duran paid a special tribute when she passed away.
She is speaking of the troubles. My Grandparents told us all about these times. Still happening as far as I understand. So sad. Thank you for shining the light on these tragedies. Thanks!!!
r.i.p the woman with a magical voice ... the world has lost a queen
The lady’s reaction is awesome
She had one of the best voices in music.she died to early.RIP Delores O’Riodan the cran berries.they have many hits.
This is about the war in Ireland Catholics and protestants.
I'm so proud to be of Irish heritage. My great grandmother left County Cork by herself to come to America
They gonna get SHOOK when they Hear the Goddess sing.x
Best armography ever! (Arm movements)
This song always gives me the chills.
Her voice, those words. One of the best bands of the 90's, so sad Dolores passed away. A truly unique sound.
im hnalf irish and half english and this so means so much to so many, i hope the peace last forever with never a shot fired again.
