First...after learning about passing of Dolores after I made this video I got emotional again. RIP Dolores. This song captivated me, moved me and caught all my attention. I listened to it 10+ after making this video. This is simply...timeless.
Five Finger Death Punch actually was planning to do a cover with Delores in 2018 of Zombies, but she passed before they were able to get together. They ended up doing a tribute cover instead.
As The Cranberries fan for over 30 years, it made me so emotional to see someone listen to one of their songs for the first time and react to it the way you did! Bring back those childhood and nostalgic memories and reminded me of how much I've loved listening to their music.
The lead singer's first name, "Dolores", means "pains" in Spanish. That's exactly what listening to her voice gives me, in the best possible way. Every time she opened her mouth to sing a note, her voice had this beautifully sombre and melancholic quality which still hits me in the pit of my soul. I'm sure there are many others who share that sentiment. I love her. ❤
"Zombie" and "Ode to My Family" are two really personal songs from the Cranberries, with two very different sounds. Both are pretty essential listening.
@@vic-2200 Vic "Zombie" makes me cry too. Absolutely. The song can obviously be many things to many people so I am not trying to take anything away from you regarding what you get from this song, but I felt it was important to clarify the song's original intent since I think the message Dolores intended is important. The singer wrote this song in response to a splinter faction of the IRA bombing a shopping area in Warrington, England in 1993, which injured many and killed Jonathan Ball aged 3 and Tim Parry, age 12. It was part of The Troubles, an ongoing conflict that had lasted years in Northern Ireland. Thus, if you've ever seen it, the images in the music video for Zombie show real footage of the actual walls with paintings/graffiti referring to the Troubles as well as real British soldiers with guns. The video was shot in specific areas of Belfast. The footage was shot during the Troubles. Best wishes.
I'm from Limerick (where the band are from) and this morning I was teaching Spanish and Italian teens in an english summer school. All week we played this song and got all the classes together in the hall to sing this song for fun. It was just amazing. Really was.
As an Irish woman of course I love the Crabberries. Dolores was taken too soon. She does Irish keening fabulous. Pentatonix cover is beautiful. You should listen to their song Zombies. Great reaction 👍
I am so happy you are so understanding of how special the songs you reacting to! I grew up with the songs and for your age you are unbelievably talented in getting what these “oldies” mean to all who grew up with them! Love all your reactions!
Dolores Ó Riordan incorporates a lot of traditional Irish vocal inflections found in Sean nós .Which is traditionally sung in the Irish language and transposed to English. Many Irish singers including the Corrs Incorporate many aspects of traditional music in there vocals. That’s why it’s very emotional One of the inflections from the tradition of Sean-nos is called keening. She also sings in her Irish accent not American
What you are enjoying is an Irish Lilt (breath voice) and the la la portion is known as keening a wail or cry that was often used to grieve at an Irish funeral
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this... But it is funny how you keep mentioning this should be a part of a soundtrack, because for a couple of years now I can't listen to it without expecting to hear the voice of Erin Quinn from "Derry Girls". This was the song played in the most important moments of the show. I read somewhere, its use was approved by Dolores herself right before her untimely death - as she was initially involved with the soundtrack. This song is perfect for a show whose story focuses on a group of teens going to Catholic School in Derry, Northern Ireland during the Troubles. It is funny, sad, ridiculous, poignat, etc. And it is the main song of the beautiful depiction of one of the most important moments of recent history - the signing of The Good Friday Agreement - as seen through the lense of teenagers just leaving school hoping for a brighter and more peaceful future.
The Cranberries were a great band. Dolores was a beautiful woman who wasn't afraid to speak her mind. I was gutted when she died. The band did a college tour of the USA and did get played on radio.
My world shattered when she passed. She was a pioneer in being outspoken about her eating disorder and seeking treatment. Even though it was extremely common for the time (think heroin chic) it was not something openly talked about. Many people found the courage to seek help and live because of her honesty and bravery.
Weird you say that it could have been used in a school drama set in the 90's in an emotional final scene because it was used in an amazing show 'Derry Girls' set in the 90's and was used in such a perfect way as it played as the Good Friday Agreement was passed in Northern Ireland in 98 - a monumental moment for peace - it's brings me to tears as a child of peace (12 when it was signed!)
That would be the Dolores effect you are feeling. Direct emotion to voice interface. The reason for why The Cranberries were so loved. It was Dolore's life story we were hearing. Pity this particular relationship went bad, but they guy she is singing this about is the male vocalist at the end.
No Doubt had a song like that. Don’t Speak was about the lead singer’s failed relationship with one of the band members. But at least they still made the band work after that.
Her voice, that keening… it actually reaches out caressing you before reaching in and snatching your heart and squeezing it, twisting it, forcing every nerve in your body to come alive…. It is so beautiful and distinctive… and when she lets her voice open completely…. It is chilling in a beautiful way. I played this CD to death and had to replace it twice.
I've always been fascinated by this song and this vocal performance. I was hesitant when PTX covered it, even though it was PTX who I KNOW I can trust, but I couldn't imagine what they would do. They did a heavenly interpretation, and Mitch truly honored Dolores's iconic vocals beautifully with his artistic choices.
The “backup” vocal (heard several times throughout the song, and especially in the outro) is actually Delores, recorded on a different track. Many female singers with distinctive voices do this. Joni Mitchell, for instance, often sang the harmonies, especially on some of her early folkier albums.
AT my sisters high school graduation in 2001, her and her friends (including one of my band's former drummers) formed a band and her classmates overwhelmingly wanted this to be their graduation song. That alone left me overjoyed! She sang it as a duet with a friend, and they NAILED the vocals and harmonies, and just before the event, told their hesitant and amazing guitarist to go ahead and shred during the climax at the end. It was absolutely INCREDIBLE!! They took this timeless beyond beautiful song, made it their own while staying true to the original. I was completely entranced and overcome with such ethereal joy as I watched and listened to these young kids play something that I grew up with, played, and adored when I was in high school, while they totally blew everyone's minds with such pathos and sincerity. Seriously, to this day it is still one of my favorite live music performances I've ever experienced.
Hurling is the national sport of Ireland (passionate game). Limerick is the county Dolores comes from (32 counties in Ireland). In 2018, shortly after Dolores died, Limerick won the hurling All Ireland for the 1st time in 45 years. They played Dreams to the 82,000 people in the stadium. Talk about emotional. The Limerick team have won the hurling All Ireland 4 more times since, and each time they play Dreams. The players go biserk when it comes on. You can see it means a lot to them. One of our own.
This song was played in many movie soundtracks. It’s just so freaking good it fits in a lot of different areas genre wise. Dolores’s vocals are just so sweeping on this song, considering she’s written it herself along with 65% of all the songs that the cranberries ever did, came from Dolores. As young as she was at that point, she had a way of drawing on melancholy, and injecting it into her lyrics. It’s amazing if you think about it, her music has an affect on people that’s so profound. God I hope I made sense, lol
In Ireland I would say this is their most enduring song. It's played after big sporting events and you definitely hear it quite regularly compared to their other songs.
I was emotional when I heard it when it first came out. Still makes me emotional all these years later. Such is the beauty of this song and the pure voice of Dolores. ❤
I miss Dolores every day! She was an angel in her own right, and had a voice like spun silk. I still have hair goosebumps every time in all the same exact places each time I listen to Dreams 💔
I love just how you loved it. Beautiful authentic reaction. But that’s our girl…Can’t label that genius. Dolores was a living angel. Voice to match. Xxx
This song, and this singer, just grabs you by the soul and forces you to feel things you never thought you could. Your tears aren't unusual. I'm listening to you listen to this, and tears are streaming down my face. EVERY SINGLE TIME I listen to this song, specifically, it makes me cry. She sounds so hopeful and so vulnerable, just leaving her heart out there to cherish or destroy. How could you not feel deep emotion?
5:00 ooo!!! Now that you mention it, I remember watching a 90s show called My So-Called Life back when I was a teen and I’m pretty sure they had “Dreams” by The Cranberries playing in an episode or three!
This song appeared in the 90’s movie Boys On The Side with Drew Barrymore, Whoopi Goldberg and Mary Louise Parker which was a drama/comedy teen movie. I love this song and The Cranberries is one of my favorite bands.
Dolores had a beautiful & mesmerising voice-absolutely loved the Cranberries. It is so magical and moving to hear The Cranberries music again in Derry Girls- a perfect, heartwarming and heartbreaking homage
In 1992 I was in high school. MTV Brazil was huge. cranberries, nirvana and other bands were part of my life. At the time I had no real idea that I was living in a unique moment in music uring the difficulties of my teenage years and life
Just found your channel and your reaction here is priceless. You're a younger fellow who has a great musical journey ahead of you, I'm jealous! There are songs from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s that you will LOVE. Can't wait for you to experience them. SUBBED!
They did a "Tiny Desk Concert" for NPR. It was really good. Dolores' 1994 Woodstock performance of Dreams (also on YT) is just quintessentially 90's in every way--she was great.
the teen movie (TV show) vibe you got is spot on....'My so called life' with a very young Claire Daines and Jared Letto!! They don'tmake TV like that anymore..Angela chase and Jordan Catelano, oh the memories. Dreams was played in an episode. Cranberries were amazing and Delores is missed so much in Ireland. May she rest easy!
So cool seeing you get this as a first listen. When I was a kid it got used in so many commercials and played on MTV/Radio until it lost some of it's magnificence.
This has always been my favorite song of theirs. I've never heard one by them I don't like but I always come back to this one. Simple but beautiful lyrics and I love the drums on it.
The look on your face was the same as the one on mine when I first heard the cranberries… Linger crushed my heart… There will never be another Delores Ó Riordan
This is the best way to describe that version - esp with the video. I've never been able to put my finger on why that video/song feels so different but you just did it - it feels like heaven - quite fitting RIP Dolores.
Definitely an Irish angel's voice in this one, always loved this song... I like to put it on a loop and play it over and over again while driving... also was a theme song to "Derry Girls"....
I can't believe you hadn't reacted to the Pentatonix cover of this one yet! (It's on their "At Home" EP album that was all recorded/videoed separately during lockdown). They did a beautiful job with it, and since Mitch is a huge Cranberries/Dolores fan, he absolutely did an amazing tribute to her delivery and style.
It's such an amazing song and so sad she's gone. i would've loved to hear her sing with Aurora. If you haven't heard her yet you should listen to Through the eyes of a child live at Nidarosdomen, the entire concert is amazing though...she's sort of like a Norwegian/modern version of Dolores. She'll make you cry in a good way. Her voice is absolutely, phenomenally angelic.❤️
First...after learning about passing of Dolores after I made this video I got emotional again. RIP Dolores.
This song captivated me, moved me and caught all my attention. I listened to it 10+ after making this video. This is simply...timeless.
❤️
You should listen to Zombies by the Cranberries. It's a bit different, but definitely makes a statement.
Five Finger Death Punch actually was planning to do a cover with Delores in 2018 of Zombies, but she passed before they were able to get together. They ended up doing a tribute cover instead.
@@meganhannel5889 I forgot about that, that's a really good cover
You will definitely love the PTX cover. They were very respectful of the original, it feels like a tribute to her, but PTX-ified of course.
This song appears in the movie you’ve got mail as introductory song! A wonderful song!
She and Sinead have extraordinary voices!! This song is very melancholy, in between happy and sad. Love it, and love her, RIP Delores!!
Every time I hear her sing it sends chills down my spine. What a voice.
agreed!
Same here!
And it was one of her biggest insecurities..... because she didn't sound like anyone else. I like to think she grew to appreciate what she had.❤
As The Cranberries fan for over 30 years, it made me so emotional to see someone listen to one of their songs for the first time and react to it the way you did! Bring back those childhood and nostalgic memories and reminded me of how much I've loved listening to their music.
Dolores had such a voice that Pavarotti wanted to sing with her. Ave Maria. And she did it the best. WOW!
Goodness, I didn't know this exited, thank you so much for mentioning it
She sure did, bless her‼️ She would've known that song from church. Every Catholic does, but only she sings so perfectly‼️😪❤🇬🇧
the song was used in the movie "you've got mail" staring tom hanks and meg ryan in the 90's
Holy crap. You had exactly the reaction I did the first time I heard this (and still do). I immediately teared up, and have no idea why.
Certain female Irish voices are mesmerising
It's making you emotional because you are hearing the voice of an angel. I also love the drumming.
The lead singer's first name, "Dolores", means "pains" in Spanish. That's exactly what listening to her voice gives me, in the best possible way. Every time she opened her mouth to sing a note, her voice had this beautifully sombre and melancholic quality which still hits me in the pit of my soul.
I'm sure there are many others who share that sentiment. I love her. ❤
Here here!
"Zombie" and "Ode to My Family" are two really personal songs from the Cranberries, with two very different sounds. Both are pretty essential listening.
Zombie is about PTSD and always makes me cry...every time.
💯
@@vic-2200 Vic "Zombie" makes me cry too. Absolutely.

If you haven't yet you should watch them on NPR Tiny Desk Concerts. They are awsome and check out other bands as well.
I *love* the first time reactions to hearing Dolores sing. She packs so much emotion.
I'm from Limerick (where the band are from) and this morning I was teaching Spanish and Italian teens in an english summer school. All week we played this song and got all the classes together in the hall to sing this song for fun. It was just amazing. Really was.
Yes I can imagine 😌
I love Delores and her impeccable Irish "keening". Her voice is truly glorious.
As an Irish woman of course I love the Crabberries. Dolores was taken too soon. She does Irish keening fabulous. Pentatonix cover is beautiful. You should listen to their song Zombies. Great reaction 👍
NO THANKS...I'll pass on that . I'll stick with Dolores and the Cranberries,if you don't mind . :)
@@Newfie-zc7ug lol. yeah, the crabberries are real debbie downers
She drank herself to death
@@catspaw3815 such is life
Celestial Voice, Nuff said. RIP legend!
More Cranberries, please. You will be glad you did . . .
I am so happy you are so understanding of how special the songs you reacting to! I grew up with the songs and for your age you are unbelievably talented in getting what these “oldies” mean to all who grew up with them! Love all your reactions!

Such a beautiful voice, RIP Dolores, no one compares to you ❤❤❤
She was one of a kind singer in women's voice of music. She started singing when she was a child. That's why she had strong vocals. 🙏🦋
What you are enjoying is an Irish Lilt (breath voice) and the la la portion is known as keening a wail or cry that was often used to grieve at an Irish funeral
Beautiful song..Beautiful voice..Dolores had the voice of an angel..RIP..
Dolores O' Riordan had the voice of an Angel!
She was also a brilliant composer!
Their Whole Catalog is Wonderful!!
Ah yes, Delores's voice was definitely one of a kind. She is greatly missed.
The voice catch the deepest feels of your heart, so sweet, tender, soft, like a mother singing yo her child to sleep.
SalvoG a great reaction
People tend to get emotional when the angels speak to them.

Hi from Limerick, Ireland. Dolores was a Limerick girl with a glorious, unique voice. The band were much loved and she will be forever missed.
You can feel the irish soul! Rest in peace!
The PTX cover is worth listening to. Mitch kills it. He insisted that they cover it as a tribute to Dolores and it is very respectfully done.
My favorite Cranberries songs: I Still Do, Zombie, Ridiculous Thoughts, Yeat's Grave
Good taste
Great songs!
Dolores and the Cranberries never fail to transport me back to my college years in the 90s in Chicago. Her voice makes me cry too, in a nostalgic way.
👌👏... Oh to go back to that time, one can dream.
The Cranberries were a great band. Dolores was a beautiful woman who wasn't afraid to speak her mind. I was gutted when she died.
The band did a college tour of the USA and did get played on radio.
My world shattered when she passed. She was a pioneer in being outspoken about her eating disorder and seeking treatment.

One of the best albums ever produced. Rip beautiful lady ❤️
You've just opened the catalog that is Yhe Cranberries... you will absolutely love their music. RIP Dolores
Dolores sang ALL the vocals, even backup. She was sheer original talent.
I've always been fascinated by this song and this vocal performance. I was hesitant when PTX covered it, even though it was PTX who I KNOW I can trust, but I couldn't imagine what they would do.

Enya does it too. Records multiple takes and layers them into a choir.
IDK how somebody goes to life without having heard this song before. But great reaction my man, Dolores and the Cranberries were special!
She has a voice of angels. Now we will never hear her sing again. RIP Dolores. We still miss you.
Hits me right in the heart, every time. And now that she’s gone, she’s singing from the balcony with angels.
Her voice is captivating. It grabs u ❤️🤘
another favorite ! ireland has turned out many great singers , she`s one and she`s missed very much ! we lost her way to soon !
I'll never get tired of hearing Dolores' voice 💚. look forward to more reactions of this incredible band.🎧

can’t believe you haven’t heard this song before.
it’s always played on the radio.
it’s a great song!
your voice and your presence here in this world was a gift for us, unforgettable woman
Celtic women have the most beautiful voices. The yodel, the keening high notes...❤
Instant nostalgia. Even if you didn't hear this song in the 90's, it brings you back to that time regardless.

This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Delores was so amazing.

I was lucky enough to see the Cranberries twice live and it was spiritual watching and hearing Dolores live.
Her voice had the ethereal qualities…the voice of an angel…
I miss Dolores every day! She was an angel in her own right, and had a voice like spun silk. I still have hair goosebumps every time in all the same exact places each time I listen to Dreams 💔

This song appeared in the 90’s movie Boys On The Side with Drew Barrymore, Whoopi Goldberg and Mary Louise Parker which was a drama/comedy teen movie. I love this song and The Cranberries is one of my favorite bands.
God bless our dear Dolores, nobody ever had a voice quite like hers, she was totally unique, and we'll never see her like again. RIP darling 💔
8:06 I *think* it was played at the end of the Mission Impossible movie in the last scene, background... long time since I saw that movie though!
It was also used in the movie Shop Around the Corner with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. Love it!
Dolores had a beautiful & mesmerising voice-absolutely loved the Cranberries. It is so magical and moving to hear The Cranberries music again in Derry Girls- a perfect, heartwarming and heartbreaking homage

The song was used in the movie The Next Karate Kid starring Hillary Swank in a scene where she danced with some monks in a monastery.
One of our own. Amazing lady from Limerick. Got to see them in 1997 in a small venue in Limerick and wow. You'd have been in awe.
I remember how we would all jump up glide on to the dance floor; she spoke to our hearts...❤
Dolores had a beautiful voice and a beautiful gentle soul… RIP 🥲🙏🏻

In the movie "You've Got Mail" there is a scene in which this song is played. It gives a very special vibe to that particular moment of the film.
The look on your face was the same as the one on mine when I first heard the cranberries…
Linger crushed my heart…
There will never be another Delores Ó Riordan
Listen to her singing "Ave Maria". I can't get through it without crying.
Ptx did a cover of this and it will make you feel like you are in heaven.
This is the best way to describe that version - esp with the video. I've never been able to put my finger on why that video/song feels so different but you just did it - it feels like heaven - quite fitting RIP Dolores.
@@cassie8906 Thanks!!
Everything seems to stop when Dolores sings. She was pure Magic.
Definitely an Irish angel's voice in this one, always loved this song... I like to put it on a loop and play it over and over again while driving... also was a theme song to "Derry Girls"....
I can't believe you hadn't reacted to the Pentatonix cover of this one yet! (It's on their "At Home" EP album that was all recorded/videoed separately during lockdown). They did a beautiful job with it, and since Mitch is a huge Cranberries/Dolores fan, he absolutely did an amazing tribute to her delivery and style.

It's such an amazing song and so sad she's gone. i would've loved to hear her sing with Aurora. If you haven't heard her yet you should listen to Through the eyes of a child live at Nidarosdomen, the entire concert is amazing though...she's sort of like a Norwegian/modern version of Dolores. She'll make you cry in a good way. Her voice is absolutely, phenomenally angelic.❤️
Some songs need the vocals to shine, some songs need the rhythm to shine. This song is the former because her voice is so beautiful.
this song has been in a few of movies and series.. thats right ya.
i like this song.
now she is singing it for the angels in heaven 🙏
"Linger" next!!! You are emotional because she has the voice of an angel.
